The queen is dead
|
"I’ve noticed recently that there seems to be a certain curse in learning too much about the people behind the music that once made us feel most understood. It's one thing to ask whether art can be separated from the artist, in theory. It is another thing entirely, though, when the art in question is an album or song you genuinely love. For me, The Queen is Dead by The Smiths is one of those albums. It’s sharp, melancholy, witty, dramatic, and so strangely comforting all at once. It’s one of those recordings that just feels so alive every time I return to it. But loving The Queen is Dead also means confronting an uncomfortable truth: when music becomes personal, disappointment in the artist behind it does too." |
