So, Morrissey is 49, he's been active since the 70's and he can still roll with the young ones.
In January, he released "I'm throwing my arms around Paris". I looked forward to hearing it as I have a little place for Morrissey in my heart. "This Charming Man" is one of my all time favourite songs and his work whilst in The Smiths in general is pleasing.
So, I get on itunes, I buy the song and as soon as it appears in my library, I put it on and hope I'll like what I hear.
A pleasant intro – that’s always good. Morrissey is on top form vocally as he kicks in. The lyrics as usual are poetic yet simple - I like that, its typical Morrissey.
The true test however, is whether I will listen to it again when I next come on iTunes or whether, if it comes up on shuffle, I will skip it. Well, before I got chance to get back to iTunes, I found myself singing it in a traffic jam, looking like a complete idiot to anyone watching but feeling great as I belted out the lyrics in the best Morrissey voice I could muster. I find myself wanting it on a CD so I can put it on in the car (I have decided it will make a good driving song in the summer by this point).

A good song. Catchy, a nice melody and Morrissey is sounding on top form.
"Throwing my arms around Paris"...I'm throwing my arms around it, in a big musical appreciation kind of embrace thats for sure.
