When Morrissey started singing “How Soon Is Now” for the first time in many years, he made an excellent change, dropping the line about standing on your own and wanting to die. Now he sings, “You go and you stand on your own / And you leave on your own / What a biiiig surrrrrpriiiiiise!” I like the song better that way—a lot better—but I get you if you think that’s a loss for the song or a betrayal of an adolescent bond you felt with it. Yet there’s no law saying that as an artist you have to go on singing words you don’t mean. But on another level—is this CHEATING? Well, yes, of course it is.

another Morrissey reference, and also "It’s very Swiftian to keep tinkering with her past. Anything less would be betraying the girl she used to be." - !!!!!!
