So glad to hear Johnny Marr singing Smiths songs. I really think he does a great job. The songs are so good, glad to hear someone other than Morrissey singing them.
Marr is a bore, there is no oomph no vroom no angst or despair, he's trotting through the Smiths songs like he just don't care. Morrissey's words deserve more respect, this guy takes the piss.
I graduated from high school in 1985 and the Smiths were big. Listened to them off n on since. But it took a while to appreciate Marr's guitar. Like you say, sublime. Subtle and like a net holding everything together. Amazing
@@TheBella2u He was obviously such a loved guy, I can't imagine what his family and the Foos are going through, and his closest mates. Such a sad time :(
He is sounding good. It's gotta be difficult for him to sing Smith's sings because he automatically gets compared to Morrissey. And virtually no one can compare to Morrissey.
@@michaelburk9171I agree, but you should check out Noel Gallagher’s cover of this song. Noel has a better voice than Johnny and delivers a wonderful version of the song.
Umm, that’s up for debate, he does his best and it’s improving…. But Morrissey’s voice and poetry is the spirit of the Smiths, Johnny the music man, the foundation.
@@tearsofaclone6721 That's certainly an interesting take. I like PMJ a lot. My only criticism is that it's a *VERY* British song of a certain era and sentiment in UK 1980's. The songwriters and Rick Ashley obviously get that, it's a bit lost on Ashley perhaps.
Seems impossible but he has continued to get better and better over time. His guitar is mesmerizing. I played it so many times my brain hurts. Totally an addictive drug.☺
In every Smith's song that Johnny plays, he sings it in a beatiful way. Wonderful to see him singing so good. Johnny is the only one that can cover The Smiths so close to perfection.
A truly fantastic live version and arrangement, it gets better each time they play it! Johnny’s voice has improved greatly over the years, what so many people forget who keep saying it’s nothing without Morrissey is Johnny was and is primarily a guitarist and a fantastic one at that, he is a guitarist who then started singing lead vocals after many years, Morrissey was a vocalist and a great one, but people should try leading a band playing the riffs Johnny plays and also lead vocals at the same time live, it’s not an easy role to accomplish and master live especially when you are at the forefront and 100% in the limelight of the audience for the entire show, so many things to remember, play, sing, entertain etc, etc, than just being the singer who has hands free to entertain and involve the crowd. They are two very different kinds of role in a band and to do it so well as Johnny now does! Etc, etc, in the midst of life we are in debt etc!!!
not to mention Johnny Marr makes both the guitar and the vocals look so easy and you can truly tell he's having a great time performing. I am a new fan but you can definitely see him getting more comfortable compared to 2017 even
Solid insights. Thanks Morrissey has one of the most beautiful and distinctive voices ever. No one can sing like him. Marr is a good singer. Disrespectful to expect him to sound like Morrissey then criticize him for not being able to. Plenty to appreciate with Marr as he is
so glad I got to see Foo last summer in NYC, and of course to have seen this brilliant man 2x in the last few yrs here as well. RIP Taylor from a drummer...
Wow, what a beautiful tribute and cover-that's-not-really-a-cover -- hats off to Johnny for memorializing the Foo Fighters' long-time drummer in such a touching way!!!
Take me out tonight Where there's music and there's people And they're young and alive Driving in your car I never, never want to go home Because I haven't got one Anymore Take me out tonight Because I want to see people And I want to see life Driving in your car Oh, please don't drop me home Because it's not my home, it's their home And I'm welcome no more And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine Take me out tonight Take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care, I don't care And in the darkened underpass I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last" But then a strange fear gripped me And I just couldn't ask Take me out tonight Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care, I don't care Driving in your car I never, never want to go home Because I haven't got one, la-di-dum Oh, I haven't got one Oh, oh And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine Oh, there is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out
Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me is hands down my favorite Smiths song. The intro is so amazing. However this isn't a debate about that. This was an amazing tribute to Taylor Hawkins. 💔
So glad to hear Johnny Marr singing Smiths songs. I really think he does a great job. The songs are so good, glad to hear someone other than Morrissey singing them.
Marr's singing keeps getting better, soon no one will even want a reunion. Marr can do it all!
I searched for some of his performances because I am annoyed by Morrissey... And he really does a great job singing! :)
@@elLiron6 relatable.
Marr is a bore, there is no oomph no vroom no angst or despair, he's trotting through the Smiths songs like he just don't care. Morrissey's words deserve more respect, this guy takes the piss.
He owns 50% of every Smiths song so he can play whatever he wants whenever he wants.
There is a song that always sounds great.
😂
You could even say that about this one 😐
Totally.
Johnny's guitar work is just so sublime
I graduated from high school in 1985 and the Smiths were big.
Listened to them off n on since. But it took a while to appreciate Marr's guitar. Like you say, sublime.
Subtle and like a net holding everything together. Amazing
Etherealy sublime
This is one of the best freakin tunes ever written 🏆
Marr and Morrissey have some serious unfinished business to attend to. My GOD.
And seems like he wrote many of the other best freakin tunes ever written.
ROB BEATDOWN BROWN
One of the most romantic and beautiful songs ever written.
The best melancholic and cathartic song of all time, in my opinion. RIP Taylor, sorely missed by all fans of rock/pop music and it's various forms.
Ya! He really, really was one of a kind. His twitchy enthusiasm so endearing and his obvious love ❤️ for music 🎶. I feel for his wife and kids.
@@TheBella2u He was obviously such a loved guy, I can't imagine what his family and the Foos are going through, and his closest mates. Such a sad time :(
Who is Taylor?
@@painted1276 Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters drummer hence Johnnys dedication at the start of the song.
That's the best singing I've heard form Johnny. Marrvelous version
Agreed, his voice sounds so good, smooth and gentle here...and it's a great version all round.
@@ChubbyChecker182 I really think that JM has improved his performing and voice
So much better version and what a legend
Taylor Parker 🙏🕯️
There is another live performance of him singing this song from a few years back. That's the best one.
He’s okay. Noel Gallagher’s version is much better in my opinion. Obviously, neither can match Morrissey’s vocal.
Man. Johnny has a great voice.
I disagree but he does sound better here than he used to? Lots of practice I guess.

One of my favourite songs from The Smiths.
This tune brings happy tears to my eyes,a sincere song.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. The anthem of my 17th summer, 1988.
This is such a brilliant song, it sounds good whoever sings it. Marr, Morrisey, Astley, all sounds phenomenal.
Have a look at the PMJ Ashley Campbell version 😉
@@tearsofaclone6721 That's certainly an interesting take. I like PMJ a lot.

One of the coolest men on the planet.
The song is amazing but the last two minutes of this are so amazing it don't get no better
The arrangement of this song is just sublime 👌✌️
Johnny is a stand up Guy. Legend
86 the pleasure the privelage is ours,masterpiece!
4:54 - 5:36 I could listen to that until the end of time
So amazing to hear with the new keys player playing the string parts. Gives me chills!
This wonderful song must be 37 years old! It’ll never go out.

@@cosmo43095 oh, really? Are you kidding? Thank you for bring me this information. You're a genius.
Still gives me chills after all these years. One of the best songs EVER.
What a brilliant version of this song, Johnny marr sounds superb

Thanks for the support, recognition and love towards me 🎸& I am captivated❤️. where are you watching from?
Marr singing the smiths Morrissey’s bit is so warming and pure. Heaven ❤
Probably the most beautiful song ever written.
Best love song ever written dedicated to the shining light of The Foo Fighters. R.I.P.. Taylor & Thank you JFM 🎸🥁💔
Written in 1985 and released in 1992. A true classic and it never sounded better. Thanks Johnny for never stopping!
Why in 1992?
@@notordinarynothing It was released as a single for the first time in 1992 to promote a greatest hit album. It was an album track in 1986.
Was on The Queen is Dead.
@@0920121908250727 which came out in 1986, that's why I was confused. I wasn't sure about the release date of the single, though!
Is your local record store in the Himalayas?

Its so wonderful to hear this song with HIS guitar.
Singers really are their weight in gold.
That guitar line near the end breaks my heart ♥️
Another very rare JM smile.
never gets old 😭
Sempre impecável o grande Johnny Marr, cada nota um encanto!
Abraços e saudações nordestinas 🙏🏻🌹🤗
I love how he sings the line "there is a light that never goes out" At the end of the song, I love that part so much every time I hear it.
A whole new take on the original.
Love them both.
Beautiful. Taylor touched so many!
So did Jimmy Savile
@@bid84 :D
Sung with authority in the author's voice

Reminds me of my good friend CARL PIDDINGTON/GTB the General ...... 💙 miss you Pal.. R I P
Simply the best guitarist of all time!
Genius
Marr, like Morrissey, is a legend. And together, legendary. Let me not say more
This performance has everything it takes to be legendary. No doubt, one of the greatest live performances I've seen in a while.
Це пісня на тисячоліття!
Well said Jonny RIP Taylor will miss your drumming brilliance
Marr, such a master.

Seria um espetáculo ver os dois juntos novamente como the Smiths.
Eu ainda tenho esperança desse momento tão especial acontecer, Moz e Marr são o melhor duo do planeta, dois gênios!🙌🏼🙏🏼💙
Every time this happens it’s a legendary moment! Johnny Marr forever- RIP Taylor

So much poetry....
I actually love Johnny Marr.
Jhonny.. you made my day... 💞
I love you, Johnny!
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last"
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, la-di-dum
Oh, I haven't got one
Oh, oh
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
Great karaoke version!
Marr is a genius
a song etched on my soul
hard choice - but probably my fave smiths tune - the flute at the end of the original - as haunting as it gets.
Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me is hands down my favorite Smiths song. The intro is so amazing. However this isn't a debate about that. This was an amazing tribute to Taylor Hawkins. 💔
AMAZING! Thanks Johnny for keeping this song alive! Stepping up where Morrissey failed.
Nah he's not Viva Morrissey, Marr is a legend to ofcourse.
Cool AF as usual Johnny - & that haircut at nearly 60 - only the Marr can pull that off !
Brilliant
I love you Jonny
How is this so divine?
The coolest of the coolest
