In one of the audio/hifi magazines I’m reading I spotted this new interview with Dana Gillespie.
Short excerpt:
The first single from the album was a Morrissey song – ‘Spent The Day In Bed.’ He said your version is better than his…
Yes – he’s a friend of Tris’s. I’ve never met him – somebody wrote on my Facebook that he’s got weird eyes…
So did Bowie…
Exactly. The Morrissey song was suggested by Tris, and, as I don’t mind spending the odd day in bed… I used to do it more when I was younger, but I’m now so busy I never get to do it.
I really agree with the sentiments of the chorus, which is, ‘Stop watching the news, because the news contrives to frighten you…’
That’s what attracted me to the song, and because it’s slightly leftfield. Let’s face it, Morrissey has got almost two million followers on whatever it is people follow him on, and that song just seemed to sum things up – especially these days, when the news is totally depressing. I don’t know when you go to print, but somebody might’ve pressed the nuclear button by then!
Interesting to read it wasn’t Dana’s choice but Tris’s. But I don’t know what the “weird eyes” comment is about? Anyway here’s the link:
