"I Won't Share You" is a beautiful song indeed, a profoundly moving song, capping an extraordinary four-year run. A seminal band. To this day it's hard to believe Johnny Marr wasn't even 24 when it was recorded. It's equally hard to believe that a songwriter as young as that had already done the best work he would ever do. Is there any precedent in rock for that early a peak for someone so brilliant? It's an argument for the profound potency of the creative partnership of Morrissey/Marr.
I was going through some old Uncut special editions and they reminded me that he was 23 at the time. Like McCartney on Revolver and Wilson on Pet Sounds. How do you do that?
You had me at the title of this article. I’ve never opened a post so quickly!
Ha, thanks. For some reason I was going to use something else as the lead-in until this evening, but it has to be that.
