Watch the Morrissey spoken word video for “Earth Is the Loneliest Planet”
Morrissey’s been putting an unusual spin on the lyric video as we approach the release of World Peace is None of Your Business, his follow-up to 2009’s Years of Refusal. Instead of putting a simple text animation over an audio track, Morrissey’s been putting arty visual clips to spoken-word recitations of his own lyrics. The latest, for “Earth Is the Loneliest Planet,” features a cameo appearance by Pamela Anderson. She and Moz share a moment on a rooftop. It’s… a little weird. But definitely a fascinating 55 seconds of video. Watch it below.
World Peace Is None Of Your Business is out July 15 via Harvest. Read our feature on The Complete Songs of The Smiths.
