Hearing the ghost of the Smiths in the guitar riffs made me emotional. There’s something especially tragic and isolated about Morrissey performing Smiths songs.
You can really hear the quality in music from The Smiths songs from latter era Moz songs. The lyrics and especially the musicianship was superior. Big ups to Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce
Funny how the Smiths had only 3 musicians, and they still did a better job at capturing the song's emotions. These guys are good too but there's something missing :(
They complemented each other but Morrissey would have had a big career in music regardless . Marr is singing the old smiths songs and cannot replicate the emotions because he didn’t write the songs . Plus his solo career has been not as brilliant as Morrissey. The Smiths were a great band , no doubt about .
"For there are brighter sides to life, and I should know because I see them, very often" ok this tiny lyric-change made me happy.
This is so many kinds of aching. Beautiful but it hurts.
A beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.

Very well put. And ironic that he sings "we cannot cling to those old dreams anymore"
spot on

I wonder what its like to sing this song, then look to your left and not see Johnny, look right.. no Andy. I feel for him..
Great version! Miss the harmonica though.
Not bad. Channeling Marr is no easy feat.
Moz and marr need each other! Moz is lovely though.xxx
I feel bad for the guitarists imitating Marr bless
sore lips?
@dressthesenseless or just open minded...
It just isn't like the old days anymore
Brilliant singer....but christ he's the most depressing bloke
Morrissey would be nothing today without Marrs riffs. That's a fact.
I think you meant it the other way around. Which one has had the biggest solo career? Moz, of course.
