Morrissey - You Are The Quarry

"I Have Forgiven Jesus" Is An Alternative Rock Song From English Singer Morrissey's 2004 Album You Are The Quarry. It Was Co-Written By Morrissey And His Band Member Alain Whyte And Produced By Jerry Finn. The Track Reflects The Singer's Upbringing In An Irish Catholic Community And His Status As A Lapsed Catholic. The Song Is A Ballad That Tells The Story Of A Child Who Becomes Disillusioned With Religion Because Of His Inability To Deal With His Own Desires. The Title Refers To The Character's Blame And Subsequent Forgiveness Of Jesus Christ For Creating Him As A Lovely Creature That Has No Chance To Express Its Love. Described As Both Confessional And Humorous The Song Has Been Interpreted As A Blasphemous Critique Of Organized Religion And An Ambivalent Way For Morrissey To Describe His Own Religiosity. The Song Was Released In December 2004 As The Fourth Single From You Are The Quarry Its Release Was Preceded In November 2004 By That Of A Music Video In Which Morrissey Performs The Role Of A Priest. This Performance Increased The Controversy Around The Track Which Received Polarized Reviews Some Critics Described It As A "woeful" Release And Others Classified It Among The Best Songs Of Both The Album And Of The Singer's Career. Despite Not Being Playlisted By BBC Radio 1 One Of The United Kingdom's Most Popular Radio Stations The Single Reached Number 10 On The UK Singles Chart And Topped The UK Independent Singles Chart. It Made The Track His Fourth Top-Ten Hit Of The Year Something He Had Never Achieved Before. The Song Remained Significative On Morrissey's Career Being Included On His 2004 2006 And 2014 Tours. Morrissey Was Raised In A Catholic Family And That Inspired "I Have Forgiven Jesus". He Disliked His Upbringing Having Described Himself In 1989 As "a Seriously Lapsed Catholic … After Being Forced To Go To Church And Never Understanding Why And Never Enjoying It Seeing So Many Negative Things And Realising It Somehow Wasn't For Him". In Late 2004 Prior To The Release Of The Song He Appeared At A Halloween Concert And On Television Dressed As A Priest. He Would Later Use The Same Costume On The Music Video. Although BBC Radio 1 Refused To Playlist "I Have Forgiven" The Song Debuted At Number 10 On The UK Singles Chart Issue Dated 25 December 2004. This Marked Morrissey's Fourth Straight-To-The-Top-10 Single Of The Year Following "Irish Blood English Heart" "First Of The Gang To Die" And "Let Me Kiss You". These Four Top 10 Hits Were Achieved Within Seven Months – A Record In His Career. It Spent Five Consecutive Weeks On The Chart Between 13 December 2004 And 22 January 2005 Declining Each Week Before Leaving The Top 100. It Topped The UK Independent Singles Chart UK Indie On Its Debut And Spent Seven Consecutive Weeks On The Chart. In Spite Of Reaching The Top 10 In UK Morrissey Had Not The Chance To Appear On The BBC Program Top Of The Pops. On The Irish Singles Chart It Only Spent A Week In The Top 50 Peaking At Number 45. Its Only Chart Performance Outside Its Domestic Market Was In Sweden Where It Entered The National Chart At Number 33 And Spent Six Consecutive Weeks On The Chart. The Music Video For "I Have Forgiven Jesus" Which Was Directed By Bucky Fukumoto Via The Directors Bureau Was Released Online In November 2004. Its Images Were Later Used On The Covers Of The Song's Single Release. The Video Was Later Released As Bonus Material On Morrissey's 2005 Live DVD Who Put The M In Manchester?. In The Video Morrissey Is Dressed As A Roman Catholic Priest In A White Clerical Collar And Black Blazer And Pants While Carrying Rosaries And Wearing A Crucifix. It Opens With A Close-Up Of Morrissey Which Is Followed By A Shot Of The Grey Sky And A Long Shot Of Him Walking Towards The Camera. The Sepia-Toned Image Shows The Singer Walking Down The Grey Deserted Streets In A Broken-Down Los Angeles Park. First Alone Morrissey Is Joined By The Band Members Who Wear Jobriath's T-Shirts During The Walk. Morrissey's Decision To Take The Role Of A Priest In The Music Video Was Controversial. It Was Interpreted By James G. Crossley Of The Department Of Biblical Studies Of The University Of Sheffield As A Desire To Express "personal Angst" And To Have An "ironical And Humorous Take" On It. Hewitt Said The Singer's Clothing In The Video And The December Release As A Christmas Single Were Clear Evidence That Morrissey Planned It As A "jocular Provocation". Van Elferen Said The Video Expresses His Ambivalent Relationship With Catholicism As He "presents Himself As His Own Spectre" Through The Depiction Of Someone Tormented By "his Own Flesh And Bone And Painfully Aware Of The Contradictions Between Prescribed Catholic Dealings With Issues Of Sexuality And His Own Feelings". Nylén Said The Choice Of The Band Members' T-Shirts May Be An Argument Because Jobriath Was An Openly Gay Rock Star While Catholicism Usually Condemns Homosexuality.
