from Oannes *

Μια ακόμα ευπρόσδεκτη πρόταση απ΄τον stcigar, ένα αγαπημένο τραγούδι των Smiths. ‘Death Of A Disco Dancer’ από το Strangeways, Here We Come, τελευταίο στούντιο άλμπουμ, κυκλοφορημένο μετά τη διάλυση του γκρουπ.
Ο Morrissey ανήκει, για μένα, στους “θησαυρούς” του May born musicians club. Παρεμπιπτόντως, στο συγκεκριμένο (παράξενα “επίκαιρο”) τραγούδι, κρατά επίσης τον ρόλο του πιανίστα.
Εδώ το περσινό podcast – αφιέρωμα στους Smiths και τη σόλο καριέρα του μεγάλου singer – songwrter.

Another welcome suggestion from stcigar, a favorite Smiths song. ‘Death Of A Disco Dancer’ from Strangeways, Here We Come, the group’s last studio album, released after its breakup.
Morrissey, to me, belongs to the “treasures” of May born musicians club. By the way, οn this particular (strangely “topical”) song, he also plays the piano.
Here is last year’s podcast – a tribute to The Smiths and the great singer-songwriter’s solo career.

❝ The death of a disco dancer
Well, it happens a lot ’round here
And if you think peace is a common goal
That goes to show how little you know
The death of a disco dancer
Well, I’d rather not get involved
I never talk to my neighbour
I’d rather not get involved
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice, very nice, very nice, very nice
But maybe in the next world
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice, very nice
Very nice, very nice, very nice
But maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice, very nice, very nice
Maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
The next world, the next world, oh
The death of a disco dancer
The death of a disco dancer
The death of a disco dancer ❞
