The Smiths are deceptively morbid. Most of their songs have extremely upbeat melodies, but when you really pay attention to the lyrics, most of the time the subject matter pertains to death or loneliness or something that greatly contrasts the tune, amirite?

Right? This is why I love Morrissey; I feel that he has a knack for taking dark or depressing subjects and making them interesting, or sometimes even humorous. The way he gives his melancholy direction is just beautiful to me.
