I often experience feelings of anxiety before arriving at work.
Pretty much every day for the last two years I've listened to this once before getting out of the car, and each time I hear these lyrics and the melody, my whole nervous system relaxes and I show up to my crew full of hope and positivity.
Thank you Johnny.
Weak man ... Be stronger
@@HEATSEEKER00 I'm not weak, everyone experiences anxiety, Mike Tyson, Jon jones etc... they've openly admitted it. You've obviously lived an easy life up to now but it will get harder. p.s. I'd tell you to your face your a bell end.
An absolute classic, can't understand why more people haven't viewed it
His guitar tone is futuristic and retro, at the same time. Incredible. So relaxed, and joyful, one of the coolest people on the planet.
wish I'd wrote that.
yall should listen to his son Nile. Sounds just like Johnny (guitar wise). Man Made is his band. He also has stuff under Nile Marr. It's real good too!
Got to meet and talk with him for 15 minutes and he is exactly as cool as you’d imagine. Truly a living legend who has influenced so many
I much prefer this live. The guitar melodies are clearer and his vocals sound more raw and original. Beautiful.
Yess! This version is better than the studio track IMO.
Totally agree.
Agreed!
Nobody crafts rolling guitar melodies like Johnny Fucking Marr. This is so good it hurts..
Michael Adair - Seriously, I actually started crying involuntarily first time I heard this song, totally caught me off guard, I'm not a weepy guy, but Marr's playing is that rare blend of Heart and technical skill that really can't be faked or imitated, nobody I can think of even comes close these days, not even Dave Navarro.
I think the only person I've heard that has a similar rollin technique is bert jansch. You can hear the influence definitely
Agreed. Nobody, does it better than Johnny Marr.
Connor Hutcheon, as you may know all too well, Johnny Marr credits Jansch as his single most major influence. He is extremely talented as well. Long live Johnny Marr. He’ll save rock n’ roll.
fucking?
This has to be the best version live of this song . The sound quality is amazing everything sounds alive you can here each instrument very clearly also this is the best vocally I’ve herd him sing this song . Outstanding ✊
Beautiful wonderful song. Give us more, Johnny Marr!
The sound from this studio is amazing - so clear that you can pick out each instrument and vocal. Kudos to the sound crew! The instrumental section at 4:00 is sublime!
that intro is priceless.
How have I never heard this song before?! Big fan of Marr but only listen to the Smiths.. This song is just as good as their old hits imo.
Listen the "Call the Comet" album
his most Smiths-like track. Simply genius.
Johnny's reaction once the lights go back on is about as sweet as it gets...
+GenevaRob72 great sense of humor
He doesn't skip a beat either...so smooth..
not much reaction there really.. lol
maybe if we turn off the lights he will make a mistake... never!
@@varosan And the beat goes on and on and on....love it.
I like this melody,johnny Matt is my favorite guitarist,my guitar hero
Jesus, what a guitarist. Creative uplifting rock at its best.
This is up there with the best stuff he wrote.
This song makes me want to just get up and enjoy life.
Whenever I hear this song, I feel like everything is gonna be ok. Thank you.
Feel the same
same Nathan. its become a go to feel good song. he is unfazed as the lights go out, laughs. the man is just cool. we know in retrospect just HOW cool he is. the man is a gtr Wizard. no one like him..
From now on i am gonna think that way
soothing brilliant song
My favorite song during lockdown. It flows so brilliantly.
I'm just really thankful. Yes, yes ... how does music do this? I am somewhere else, someone else when listening to Johnny Marr.
When you juggle simplicity and gusto you're in a sphere of your own. That's just where Johnny Marr is.
Johnny boy always well dressed to kill. this man always had taste. pure class.
Hello mr. Can I have your number? To me you are very interesting and handsome! ❤️
+Jacinta Rodríguez you already have my life with that beautiful face ;)
Marco Torrecilla This man is Uber cool
Johnny Marr - the Jimmy Page of alternative music.
Flipper I think the comparison still stands, in that Marr made about as much of an impact on indie/alternative music in the 80s and Jimmy Page did on heavy rock music in the 70s. It's not so much a direct comparison to Page, more about how influential Marr is.
Damn straight he is...
Jimmy Page, the Johnny Marr of heavy rock music.
fuck you
@@PantheonLincoln ?? Don't get it. Page hasn't play live since 2008 and doesn't seem to do anything, but remaster led zeppelin -maybe he's retired unofficially. Johnny is always busy moving forward with is solo career, creating new music, or as a guitar for hire etc.
Gorgeous melody line in this song, as strong as anything he did before.
He has really hit form with his latest album. Embracing the old smiths and electronic sound as an influence and then creating something new.
Johnny Marr. What a song. WOW!
The great follower; the great sideman: Johnny "f***in'" Marr! Legendary!
Such a positive ditty from the old country thank you Johhny
Thankyou Johnny Marr and thankyou Nathan Newman! God bless you guys!
Coolest uncle on the planet 🙌😎😎
He makes the Jag sound alive, which is an art in itself; some players can, most can't.
Morrissey got the headlines, but we know who the force behind the window dressing, don't we? Some of Marr's best, thanks for posting. Amongst my all-time faves
Beautiful guitar tone and riff…It's like a The Smiths…I remembered…awesome Johnny♥Thanks!!
The emotion in his riffs/melodies is indescribable. Tears. Just saw him in a small venue and he had 1000 people hanging on every chord.
Pure display of Intertwining rolling Melodies. Marr painting another masterpiece. Hang this up in the Louvre. Brilliant
I've been listening to this for a few years now. I just play it most days. It's so brilliant. He's a master of his art. Johnny the guitar god.
#JohnnyMarr is a legend of the industry. Plain and simple.
One of the aspects I most admire about Johnny is he is down to earth. Solid bloke.
Another great song from the God-like Genius that is Johnny Marr.....
I love how looks like he's not evan trying to playing the guitar so incredibly out of this world !
My favorite song from "the messenger".
Absolutely love the song and the performance! Only Johnny Marr could pull off that awesome jangly rhythm and then bust out a solo with a behind the nut bend. What a tasteful player!!!
The inimitable sweet layers of Marr
This song changed how I played guitar.
"Leave school for poetry" has to be one of the most meaningful lyric lines in all of music.
mershark what does it mean?
Johnny explains it in his book Set the Boy Free - it was about leaving school to become a musician.
Ah okay, thanks :) definitely giving that a read!
I definitely recommend it. I'm taking forever to read it because I'm taking notes about all the things I want to look up eventually...I'm up to 20 pages and just reached this section today.
Nice one :) i'll definitely give it a go, interesting guy
Pure class I love you Johnny ❤️
My favourite song ever 😉👍🏻✊🏻
Dude just composed an eargasm
This song brings me hope. Thank you Johnny Marr.
What a wonderful voice he has everytime i listen to his music, seems i discover something else i love about Johnny Marr. He keeps making music I'll keep buying them CD'S
Ahh that sweet, jangly guitar. The essence of the Smiths, it's almost orgasmic.
keyserdurden - My wife went out of town for the weekend, I was actually up all night listening to Marr in my headphones, realized that I would actually had probably chosen this over sex tonight even if she'd still been home (and that's no shot at my wife, I couldn't want a better woman, zero complaints after almost 25 years, she still steals my heart every time I see her face!), seriously on another level. I remember a few times playing, when I was younger and did little else, when the world seemed to dissolve away and my guitar seemed to sing on its own, almost as if it colluded with my Soul to take over my fingers, a feeling beyond merely physical bliss...listening to Marr brings that same feeling back, a beautiful melancholy that can't be put into words. I'm going to light a candle for him and give special thanks to God for giving the world Johnny Marr and his music the next time I pray!
Makes you feel happy inside.
Johnny Marr is just COOL.................
the king of melody
Vlad Yavorov - Absolutely
Love, freedom, Johnny Marr
Genius!!
Happy Monday
new age smiths, love it, crushes anything today.
shune84 - Absof&%king agree, he kills it here, been waiting for music like this for almost thirty years, now.
Marr la mejor guitarra pop de la historia de la música 😎😎😎👏👏👏
🍺😎🎸🇬🇧 Cool as Johnny...
The Railway Children, A pleasure
Who has disliked this? Must have shit in their ears. One of my favourite songs, never tire of listening to this. 👍🏻
I love you Johnny you are a legend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank You!! Johnny Mar!!
Saw him back in 2013 HOB Anaheim.....He was so good....I consider him a Legend.....He's played in The Smiths , New Order , The The , and Paul McCartney band , just to name a few.....Not to many like him.....
+Mark Kendrick Electronic and his current solo-stuff has been my all-time favorite of his side-projects...
Such a tight group. Top of my post-Covid gig list.
This actually sounds better than the album cut, awesome music.
that acoustic guitar simulator sounds spot on
One of Johnny Marrs finest...sheer class !!!
I can listen to this song over and over and never get sick of it. What a genius Johnny is, this melody is up there with the best songs he's written. When he hits the guitar pedal at the 4 minute mark - absolute gold.
Johnny, that was completely Spectacular 😘😘😘
can't stop watching
Left home a mystery
Leave school for poetry
I say goodbye to them & me
Mission velocity
It made me just run faster now
I'm gonna take it all
Drive around
Make up my mind
With the windows down
I'm in something alright I know
I got to live it out uh-oh
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here?
Step out to symphonies
They play on for you and me
When we faced that July down
In uniforms
One and one, no wrong
We chased that summer down
I'm in something alright I know
I got to live it out uh-oh
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here?
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here?
Hello you mystery
Mission velocity
Here comes our poetry
New town velocity
THE SOLO IS GOOD !!!!
What an epic tune, nice one Mr. Marr
He looks like Tony Montana! Beautiful melodies!
Omg❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm going to buy your guitar for sure 😁

Mano, o Johnny Marr é muito bom!!!
Keep coming back to the intro. Brilliant

Songwriters: James Doviak / Johnny Marr
That guitar....oh my....brings tears to my eyes
Sounds like the first time I heard them fresh. Just really love this music.
Bellissima
what a tune
The rhythm guitar sounds like a semi-acoustic one when the song starts! More who share that opinion?
Yeah it will be going through an acoustic emulation pedal or possibly the guitar is fitted with a piezo bridge.
A good Gibson Les Paul..in my case 50's Junior.. Volume controls backed off..and a "real" (Pre Master Volume) Marshall with English Celestions..gets that tone.
Ageless craftsman magic
Impossible not to love you
that moment at 4:27, when Johnny starts singing that "hello you mystery, mission velocity" part is absolutely amazing, sounds like an hommage to Morrissey. :)
+Gleb Alexeev I wonder if Morrissey has heard this song and thought the same? If this is an "homage" to Moz, then he crafted a beautifully written one...Morrissey should be impressed.
greatest Jaguar ambassador Fender would have dreamt of
Sensacional ...... Jonny Marr forever
A rare Johnny laugh at 1:05 because the stage lights suddenly went off then on mid-song. Soak it in, people.
It was quite adorable. :')
Johnny could play with his fingers off!
Suck it up buttercup!
Classic moment loved it 🤣
Next Friday Hammersmith. Can’t wait 👍
Last Friday Hammersmith. Brilliant
Damn that's a great song.
love love love
Best melodic guitar master of the Alt Era, bar none
Fantastic program. Love this song.
Excellent drummer
Genius. Period.
Thank you Johnny Marr. You deliver this song with grace and class.
I think his vocals are very good....i was suprised.. .i love this band just the way it is.....and the solo music he has released has been dam good..!!!
+td harley It's really too bad that he didn't start his solo work earlier...However, his work with Electronic and The The was amazing as well...
GenevaRob72 - I still cherish my "Electronic" CD's, not as Smith-y as I really wanted, but still embedded into my psyche. This is as close to a New Smiths as we'll get, but it's so damn good I hardly miss Moz.
I love this❤ in fact everything he does, just brilliant !
Johnny should smile more often!!
Johnny has a wonderful way of summarizing a day in the life with lyrically charming inspirational melodies.. well done, incomparable solo, too.
Big influence on my music and guitar playing... Johnny is up there with Hendrix and the Edge.
The Edge? I didn't know the Memory Man pedal could be ranked so highly among actual musicians.
Roland Deschain I can't explain, to an old person like you, all the ways The Edge change the guitar landscape, cause I know I would be wasting my time. But humor me and entertain this for a second, let it sink in real good in your brain: HENDRIX USED PEDALS TOO, LOTS OF PEDALS!
Jun Ortz Well said Jun.
Rainbow Squash You’re high
I understand how influential the Edge was for alternative/indie music but i wouldnt consider him a great guitarist. He had 1 gimmick and just ran with it.
I love this song, I just left the computer and heard it. It sounds like New Order because he sounds like Bernard Sumner.
