Everyday Is Like Sunday - The Song That Changed My Life

EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY
THE SONG THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

Immediately after I left Secondary School in 1988 is the memory that springs to mind any time I hear or play the beautiful “Everyday Is Like Sunday”.  I was feeling kind of disillusioned at the time, because I was about to embark on a YTS course (quite why I didn’t just go to college and do some A-Levels I couldn’t tell you!) and I was pretty nervous about the whole thing.
 
My little sister and me (with huge goggles!) back in the day
I was stuck at home (in dearest Huddersfield, home of the barking mad!) with not a lot to do before I went out into the big wide world.  I was, in the meantime, listening to the radio one day when lo and behold I heard “Everyday…” for the first time.  I was instantly rendered speechless by the poignancy of Morrissey’s lyrics, and this would be the song that was to change my life forever, for after I came across it I became helplessly hooked, and would spend as much of my spare time as possible tuning into different stations to catch it as many times as I could. 

Not only that, but, by the end of that same year I had (virtually!) become a fully-fledged Smiths and Morrissey devotee, and all on the strength of one song.  Cheers Mozzer, it was the kick up the arse I needed to give my life some sort of order and meaning.  I haven’t looked back since, and what’s more I don’t intend to!...

Morrissey at Manchester Arena in 2016

MORRISSEY – MANCHESTER ARENA SATURDAY, 20 AUGUST 2016 Vocals: MORRISSEY Guitars: BOZ BOORER Guitars: JESSE TOBIAS Bass: MANDO LOPEZ Drums: MATT WALKER Keyboards: GUSTAVO MANZUR Support: DAMIEN DEMPSEY Poster for Manchester Arena Gig For a myriad of reasons which I’ll save for sharing with you all on another day, I hadn’t even CONTEMPLATED , yet alone been interested in, going to a Mozzer gig for a HUGE amount of time! My last one being Drury Lane Theatre in London way back in February 1995 ( over 21 YEARS ago!! ).  When Moz declared in 2015 that he wasn’t going to come back to the UK to play, I have to admit that I was, as well as being a mite bemused, pretty damned devastated, and a part of me actually died if the truth be known.  I was worried that I’d left it too late and that I’d never lay eyes on my beloved Misery Mozzery again!  DISASTER !  He’s such a massive Diva!  Having said that, I DO like a man who can have a tantrum-le...

Morrissey at First Direct Arena, Leeds in 2020

MORRISSEY – FIRST DIRECT ARENA, LEEDS FRIDAY, 06 MARCH 2020 Vocals:  MORRISSEY Guitars:  BOZ BOORER Guitars:  JESSE TOBIAS Bass:  MANDO LOPEZ Drums:  MATT WALKER Keyboards:  GUSTAVO MANZUR Support:  None Moz Tour Poster 2020: All four European Dates.  Sadly, Paris was called off due to the Corona virus (aka  Miley Cyrus) Before I begin, if I may, I’d like to go back in the mists of time now to two years ago.  After the European tour was pulled in the summer of 2018, I really thought that Moz would never play in Blighty again. I had tickets for both of the Manchester Castlefield Bowl dates, as did some of my friends who had travelled all the way from the US and Canada, and we were all devastated to say the very least. Please do forgive my rant now, but a certain so-called “Superstar” DJ who held his pathetic little anti-Morrissey event on the same night as the ill-fated first Castlefield date, who wa...

Morrissey at First Direct Arena, Leeds in 2018

MORRISSEY – FIRST DIRECT ARENA, LEEDS SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018 Vocals: MORRISSEY Guitars: BOZ BOORER Guitars: JESSE TOBIAS Bass: MANDO LOPEZ Drums: MATT WALKER Keyboards: GUSTAVO MANZUR Support: None Flyer for Morrissey UK Tour Dates 2018, not including the added shows at Brixton Academy and the London Palladium There was a buzz of excitement when the announcement was made that Morrissey would be touring dear old Blighty again in early 2018, and in particular because the tickets went on sale a mere 2 weeks before his new album  “Low In High School”  was due to be released.  LIHS would prove to be a triumphant return to form for His Very Mozzerness, and so far has spawned the excellent singles  “Spent The Day In Bed”  and  “Jacky’s Only Happy When She’s Up On The Stage” , with  “All The Young People Must Fall In Love”  due to follow in early March 2018 at the time of this here piece being penned.   UPDATE:...
