Ben Squires: Morrissey, as lead singer of the Smiths and in his solo career, has written lyrics that cut deeply—even piercing the soul. While Morrissey has never claimed the Christian faith as his own, his lyrics show a recurring conversation with God. This presentation will take a look at the echoes of the faith in Morrissey’s words as he approaches the subjects of temptation, God, death, and Gospel-type metaphors, while also seeing Morrissey’s “pastoral care” and Morrissey as prophet.
