1.Richard Morel is a singer/s… Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists with the name Morel.
1.Richard Morel is a singer/songwriter, DJ, remixer and record producer from the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. He has worked extensively with Washington D.C.-based duo Deep Dish, co-writing, co-producing, performing and singing on many of their tracks, most notably on their albums Junk Science and George Is On.
As a dance music producer and remixer, he has released an extensive number of club hits using the names Morel and Pink Noise. Notable artists he has provided remixes for include Mariah Carey, Pet Shop Boys, Tina Turner, New Order, Depeche Mode, Filter, Yoko Ono, Seal, and The Killers.
In 1995 Morel started his own independent record label called Outsider Music. He released "Peterbilt Angel" and the "4-Track" cds on Outsider. Morel worked briefly with James Bradford. Bradford would go on to appear on the reality telvision show Can't Get a Date, where Bradford's inability to get past Morel's unceremonious dumping of Bradford from the label would be cited as one of the things holding Bradford back from a successful life. Morel has collaborated with Ute Lemper and Daniel Ash for Outsider Music releases.
In 2002 he released Queen Of the Highway on Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label. The album, which contained not only house music tracks but also had modern rock, pop and hip-hop elements throughout, impressed many critics. The autobiographical and introspective lyrics helped to earn the album its critical praise. Included on the record are some of his past club hits: "True (The Faggot Is You)," "Funny Car (Love Is Dead)" and "Cabaret." Technically, the album is released by a band also called Morel, fronted by Richard.
Also in 2002, he began running a monthly dance event with friend and veteran punk/alternative/indie icon Bob Mould, titled Blowoff. Blowoff is also the name of an electronic duo that Morel and Mould have been recording an album under.
After several more club hits and remixes, Morel returned with a second album, Lucky Strike, in 2004. Again praised by critics, the follow-up was an extension of sounds and lyrical content of his first. Included here are his club hits "If You Love Me," "Under a Disco" and "Escape (Driving To Heaven)," a collaboration with producer 16B.
In 2005, Morel became part of Bob Mould's new touring unit (along with another notable DC musician, Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty), formed to support the release of Mould's 'Body Of Song album. Morel also contributed remixes of the track "(Shine Your) Light Love Hope" to the bonus disc included in the limited edition version of the album.
As of 2006 Bob Mould & Morel are now redefining pop music with their Blowoff project. Blowoff, named after the deciding fight in a pro wrestling match, fuses together Mould's angry, angular power-pop tendencies with Morel's hazy, house-fueled electronica. The result is nothing less than a superb first album that offers the listener a level of musical adventurousness and stunning songcraft that has few peers in the pop and dance music worlds today.
Blowoff marks the first project in which both Mould and Morel have taken equal turns in writing, playing the guitar and keyboards, creating rhythm tracks and breathing into the mike. And as listeners will hear from the album’s very first track, “Hormone Love”, Blowoff is an impressive merger between two highly independent musicians whose individual virtuosity is unparalleled and whose musical roots span rock, punk, funk, pop, electronica and deep house.
With Blowoff, Mould and Morel produce music that isn’t like anything you’d expect. Although Blowoff features hard-charging rock tunes ("Here And Now") as well as blazing dance tracks ("Tag It"), the album's chief distinction is a poignant, compelling pop intensity that blends powerful songwriting and gorgeous melodies with great hooks and superb beats. Without a doubt, Blowoff will strongly appeal to fans of both rock and dance music, as well as pop aficionados.
Coinciding with this release Mould and Morel will be taking their famed Blowoff party, held once a month at DC’s famed 9:30 Club, on the road. Featuring both men Djing, as well as performing a live set of Blowoff songs, the Blowoff parties attract a wide cross-section of people from all walks of life, providing a rare meeting ground for everyone from music-loving hipsters to beer-drinking men's men to dance music enthusiasts to leather daddies to the muscle men featured in Blowoff's signature artwork.
2.Morel a Greek Post Punk.
Post Punk/New Wave band active during the late 80's created by George Koukio, Michael Vernardakis, Nick Sidirokastritis and Vangeli Peppa. Released two albums in 1987 and 88 by Ano Kato Records.

Morel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing in my head
The TV's got me lonely
The cable line is dead
Can you see me when I call you?
Can you hear me on the phone?
My sex is sad and lonely
My skin feels all alone
Playing in my head
The TV's got me lonely
The cable line is dead
Can you see me when I call you?
Can you hear me on the phone?
My sex is sad and lonely
My skin feels all alone
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but with a whimper
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but with a whimper
Just like any 19 year old
She says she's gonna be
She'll turn on for you
Watching color TV
Echo's down the hall
The man next door has a ball
He says he's lonely now
And he seems to be
And she's always making love on the TV
Well she's all dressed up in loneliness
Seems that sex is success
She says she's gonna be like me
But she's always making love on the TV
Well she's all dressed up in loneliness
Making love on the TV
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but with a whimper
This is how the world ends way
The lyrics to Morel's song, "Cheerful," convey a sense of loneliness and disconnection in a world inundated with technology and media. The repetition of "reasons to be cheerful" contrasts starkly with the opening line of "playing in my head," suggesting that the ideas and images being projected into society are not necessarily positive or uplifting. The mention of a dead cable line and inability to connect with others through technology only reinforce this theme of disconnection. The lines "my sex is sad and lonely, my skin feels all alone" capture a sense of physical and emotional isolation that may be driven by an obsession with media or a lack of real human connection.
The second half of the song turns to observations of others in society, particularly a 19-year-old woman who is "all dressed up in loneliness" and making love on the TV. The lyrics imply that this behavior is a way for her to feel connected or validated, but ultimately leaves her feeling empty and unfulfilled. The repetition of the line "this is how the world ends, not with a bang but with a whimper" underscores a sense of hopelessness or resignation, as if the people and behaviors being observed are symptomatic of a larger societal disintegration.
