He's quite a nice chap when asked relevant and sensible questions.

Morrissey's voice is quite soothing...I could just fall asleep now.

I never heard him mention Elvis before. I'm happy to hear Morrissey say his name because that was the first music I fell in love with, aged 5! Still listening over 50 year later....

"when we communicate every day it's always very basic, we don't say anything terribly interesting - we're not supposed to" i like this and agree. everything is kept so superficial. you're not supposed to talk about anything that matters or difficult things and dark emotions. not allowed room for it, except in some music.

Zane, your a lucky man. Its so captivating to listen to Morrissey talk and answer your well thought out questions. Hes truly a lyrical genius. I really like how honest, open and articulate he is, not to mention his singing

It's interesting that Morrissey starts to ask this guy questions half way through, never seen that before. I get the impression that Morrissey quite likes him...

I love what moz says about the sexual nature of the singing voice

Completely agree . Morrissey has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard in my life . Gets you in the gut and can break your heart .

Mozz speak so calm in this interview - I love listenning to his work process, great artists , I now realize how lucky I was to see him in a concert live:-)

Morrissey can't play piano. He just sings. "Eh, she said I know you and you cannot sing. I said that's nothing you should hear me play piano."

The way he says "fascinating" is...well....fascinating hahaha Love Moz!

listened for 20 years plus... morrissey is a genius... god bless him

He is so right about the sexual component of the singing voice. However, I am generally attracted to a person's voice, and a voice can't be more attractive than Morrissey's. And then he is also intelligent and witty and complex and beautiful and strong - he is the most attractive person I can think of.

I agree with so much of what Moz has said over the years. He just talks sense n knows his limitations. Love his thoughts about the sexual aspects of the voice. Spot on. Barely talked about, of course.

Morrissey is so kind, accurate, intelligent, and honest. i think more than i used to, he handled Zane quite well. Viva Moz!

Zane asks great questions, better than any I've ever heard an interviewer ask Morrissey, but he doesn't give enuff space to Morrissey to answer. He comes in with something else too quickly. Zane is intelligent and insightful, but he lacks patience.

I like Zane I don't get why he gets such negative comments.. He's always very interested and pleasant and has seemingly relevant things to say.. I don't understand people's discontent

amazing that someone so popular in music can't actually play an instrument... but his voice is his instrument and his lyrics are phenomenal... a legend

The best Morrissey interview I've seen so far.Must give Zane Lowe credit,well researched, unbiased, objective, engaging..can't ask for much more from an interviewer..especially with someone as difficult to 'open up" as Morrissey...& no, he doesn't go incredibly deep, but you can't with Morrissey...what Mozzer is about is in his music.But the interview is an excellent insight anyway into how Morrissey makes his records ( other interviewers have failed to go this much into his creative process)

hes so clever and sweet :}

I will listen to Morrissey all my life. Yes Morrissey it does mean i want to be physical with you. "It's a great release"

Zane should slow down, not talk so much, and let Morrissey have the floor

Morrissey is super lovely, he has always been a very caring person and if he has intelligent opinions that shouldn't make some boring-brained people too easily cast him as difficult.

Enjoyed this, gracious interview. Facilitated an interesting discussion

See Moz smirk when he pronounced Alain as "Allaaaayn".... lol

funniest dry sense of humour ever

Love you MOZ looking forward to seeing you at the RED ROCKS

People you can listen to all your life and I AM a lifer!!!

I can't see how Zane whatshisface makes this interview more interesting than anybody else's.

Zane may have felt like he was 'dancing with the devil', but you never know you are 'dancing with the devil' until you actually "Dance with the Devil" and I have been 'dancing for the devil' for the longest time ~and it hasn't been that bad...

0:30 that smirk when Zane pronounces Alain "Alaine" not Alan

very pertinent Morrissey's point about singers you can always listen to, rather than just flavours of the month. Roy Orbison has to be one of the greatest

'He said I know you and you cannot sing, I said that's nothing you should here me play pianooo'

i agree, i don't recall ever hearing Morrissey talk so much about the creative process, or even his relationship to current or previous non-smith related band members. Morrissey obviously realises this guy is a professional, as well as being a fan, and treats him with more respect than the average journalist! heh. I also agree with Morrissey about the sexual component of the human voice but i'd go further and say it very much has the potential to create genuine sexual attraction.

Incredibly intelligent and a modern day thespian

It's very fascinating

he is very intelligent

Compare this interview with other and you'll see that Zane got Morrissey to relax and open up.

I really don't like how zane lowe always refers back to himself in interviews - in my eyes he's so cocky!!!! Also, casually drinking a cup of coffee whilst interviewing Morrissey?? how dare he! lol

Just let Morrissey speak. Shut up, Zane.

3:08 I totally agree.

not sure about asleep but it says "piano on death of a disco dancer by morrisssey" on the strangeways album sleeve

1.33 OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:00 onwards. I wish Zane would let Morrissey talk!

Great.

Zane is an interviewer plus 1. He is just as much a conversationalist if not more so than an interviewer. He talks about himself a lot but always in reference and reverence to his interview subject, in this case Morrissey. Its a good thing I think, but it can be seen as self-centered. I don't think it is. What I would do to be in his shoes during this interview.

1:57 - 2:02. So, it is not "Natural Desire" to get to Jacqui's heart and, even though it will take 17 years, "I'll Show You..." 🤔

He does play piano on Death of a Disco Dancer but it's just the outro, it's basically just him randomly playing keys, he's not properly playing

He got so barrel-like here

"When we communicate every day it's always very basic, we don't really say anything terribly interesting throughout the day. We're not supposed to." I disagree. Well, maybe with most strangers we keep it rather superficial, but I personally speak to people I enjoy spending any stretch of time with, deeply, darkly and truthfully. I have a limited interest for "small talk" and see very little point in it. But I'm sure creating art taps into something that is hard - perhaps almost impossible at times - to communicate as effectively outside of it. That, and the connection it can create between us as human beings, is why art is important.

Morrissey's fibbing when he said "I was only ever interested in the singing voice". He wanted to be a drummer originally...

he didnt i'm afraid, marr played on those tracks, moz played on last night i dremp that somebody loved me

@Monterey2am he is not the singer of the Cure... he was the lead singer of THE SMITHS...

@lamentate07 I like your comments and you make me want to learn more about this 'Morrissey' guy. Who is he? Is he still the lead singer with The Cure? I liked his 'Friday I'm in love' from the early 90s. He looks different now though huh?

Agreed.

@Jobyperry WRONG!! Morrissey was and is the lead singer with The Cure. Althoight I agree, he looks quite different now. He doesnt have that goth look. I prefer him now.

Morrissey has a home in L.A. I wonder if he shops at Amoeba records...maybe a what's in my bag?

@FlowersForFirth Agreed. Dear lord, do I agree.

@Jobyperry Your spelling is appalling. Why dont you like Morrissey?

@Murfs13 he played piano on death of a disco dancer and asleep i think

zane lowe irritates the hell out of me but u he knows his stuff about music

really? i like him

how's that?

He does his homework does zane lowe

He's a lost lil boy this man ... he wants to be alone bt when the lights in his eyes he wants to be in a band bt then again he wants everyone to care an focus on him and no1 else matters I dont even think he knows what he wants .... that's the reason he doesn't come out bcoz it will lose some mistory .... bt what do I know

Morrissey is good here but "wrestle with Russel" russel brand really gets him to open up and relax

subtitulos `para esto please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

@ThePGP1983 participation WIN

for once the great moz dosent come across as a wanker, great interview. most of the time a morrissey interview is car crash TV

Zane could you talk less?

@fakeitforme Ha ha, i get you, you're joking right! You are one fo these deeply ironic people yes! Very clever. As you know and have said before, my intellect and fact based statements know no bounds. Thank you.

Lowe is terribly boring. This is like a People Magazine chat.
