Istanbul
Istanbul is a song by English singer Morrissey. It is the fourth track on his World Peace Is None of Your Business album and was released as the second single off the album via digital download on 20 May 2014, through Harvest and Capitol Records. This song depicts the story of someone who's desperately searching for a man in the midst of a prostitution environment in Istanbul. One mysterious and poignant piece of music. After the line "Oh, what have I done", the singer once again shows his brilliance, by creating an atmosphere where the listener is invited to imagine what sort of deeds have been done by the searcher. Such ability demonstrates a level of conversational situation between Morrissey and the person who is listening this story (may it be intentional or not). In the end of the song Morrissey declares that he found the missing person: "I lean into a box of pine, identify the kid as mine." These words suggest that the person is no longer alive. Then Boz Boorer and the band drag us into a secret Arabian garden, a place of grieve.

Istanbul
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, constituting the country's economic, cultural, and historical heart. With a population of 13.9 million, the city forms one of the largest urban agglomerations in Europe and is the second-largest city in the world by population within city limits. Istanbul's vast area of 5,343 square kilometers is coterminous with Istanbul Province, of which the city is the administrative capital. Istanbul is a transcontinental city, straddling the Bosphorus—one of the world's busiest waterways—in northwestern Turkey, between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. Its commercial and historical center lies in Europe, while a third of its population lives in Asia. Founded on the Sarayburnu promontory around 660 BC as Byzantium, the city now known as Istanbul developed to become one of the most significant cities in history. For nearly sixteen centuries following its reestablishment as Constantinople in 330 AD, it served as the capital of four empires: the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Latin Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. It was instrumental in the advancement of Christianity during Roman and Byzantine times, before the Ottomans conquered the city in 1453 and transformed it into an Islamic stronghold and the seat of the last caliphate. Although the Republic of Turkey established its capital in Ankara, palaces and imperial mosques still line Istanbul's hills as visible reminders of the city's previous central role.
