Δυο space προδιαγραφών διασκευές του Morrissey. Η πρώτη (2019) σε τραγούδι του Bruce Wayne Campbell, ευρύτερα γνωστού ως Jobriath : από τους πρώτους Αμερικανούς openly gay καλλιτέχνες που κυκλοφόρησαν μουσική τους σε mainstream label – πέθανε από AIDS το 1983. Το ‘Morning Starship’ βρισκόταν στο άλμπουμ με τίτλο το όνομα του, κυκλοφορία του 1973. Την ίδια χρονιά είχε βγει σε single format το δεύτερό μας track. Είναι το all-time classic του Lou Reed, ‘Satellite Of Love’, κυκλοφορημένο ένα χρόνο πριν στο LP Transformer. Ακούμε τη live ερμηνεία του Morrissey, μέρες μετά το θάντο του LR – η διασκευή κυκλοφόρησε το 2013 σαν ψηφιακό download και ένα χρόνο αργότερα σε φυσική μορφή, χωρίς να περιληφθεί ποτέ σε άλμπουμ. 📀 📀 📀 Two space-oriented covers by Morrissey. The first one (2019) is a song by Bruce Wayne Campbell—better known as Jobriath : one of the first openly gay American artists to release music on a mainstream label; he passed away from AIDS in 1983. ‘Morning Starship’ appeared on his self-titled album, released in 1973. Our second track was also released in 1973, as a single. It is Lou Reed’s all-time classic, ‘Satellite of Love’, which had come out a year earlier on the LP Transformer. We hear it performed live by Morrissey days after LR’s death – this cover was released in 2013 as a digital download and a year later in a physical format, never to be included on album.

MORNING STARSHIP
Who was that sneaking up the stairs?
Taking a hairpin from her hair
A vision of the locks fallin’ down
Crossed my mind and played with the sound
Of tapping, gentle tapping at my morning starship
The crystal glint of the turning glass
The creaking sound of the rusted latch
As she slowly opened the door
The darkness told me nothing more
Except to say that she was near my morning starship
She stood within the threshold silently
A ray of moonlight caught her eyes
Without a word she said, “Could I come in?”
And I said, “Well, you’re in already
You might as well sit down and stay awhile”
She made her way across the room
Her golden hair eclipsed the moon
The perfect head framed in silver blue
Found its way to mine and then I knew
The girl, the girl, the girl had flown my morning starship
She’s gone away, what can I do?
She took the key, she’s got the clue
Mysteries unfold with the latch
What she knows I’ll never forget
The girl, the girl, the girl has flown my morning starship
Yeah, she travels with me now in my morning starship
Oh, boom, boom, boom, morning starship

SATELLITE OF LOVE
Satellite’s gone up to the skies
Things like that, hey, they just drive me out of my mind
Hey, I watched it for a little while
I like to watch it on TV
This satellite of love

Satellite’s gone way up to Mars
Soon it’ll be filled with parkin’ cars
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch that stuff on TV

Yeah, I watched it for a little while
I like to watch it on TV
