Morrissey releases new album, Bonfire of Teenagers
Speaking about his new 11-track LP, Bonfire of Teenagers, Morrissey said:
“The worst year of my life concludes with the best album of my life."
Earlier in July, Morrissey released the single Bonfire of Teenagers during his Las Vegas residency. The former Smiths frontman describes it as England’s 9/11.
Addressing the crowd during his residency, Morrissey said:
“This song is new, it’s about England’s 9/11… Obviously in jolly old England, most people won’t talk about it — but I will.”
The song addresses the 2017 suicide bombing that took place during an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. The bombing claimed the lives of 23 people. Following the incident, Oasis’ 1995 classic Don’t Look Back in Anger gained a resurgence as it was embraced by the people as an anthem of unity and love. However, the artist appears to be taking a dig at Oasis in his new song. The song highlights a female protagonist who attends Grande’s concert.
The following lyrics are from the song:
“And the silly people sing ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’/ And the morons sing and sway: ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’/ I can assure you I will look back in anger ’till the day I die.”
Bonfire of Teenagers track listing includes I Am Veronica, Rebels Without Applause, Kerouac’s Crack, Ha Ha Harlem, I Live In Oblivion, Bonfire Of Teenagers, My Funeral, Diana Dors, I Ex-Love You, Sure Enough, The Telephone Rings, and Saint In A Stained-Glass Window.
