The tandem Morrissey/Marr was arguably the most important collaboration in the modern music industry since the Lennon/McCartney collaboration. Adam Barret combines both - hanging up a musical framework(Marr) for an emotionally laden voice(Morrissey). This video - Adam playing the guitar and singing alone in a bedroom - highlights the strength of that tandem in general and more particularly the importance of Morrissey's solitude of his isolation in his bedroom in the pre-Smiths years when he was reading Oscar Wilde and bombarding the music press with his communiqees. In my opinion, people like Adam Barret make humanity achieve real progress.
I’ll take your well constructed comment and press: what is the connection between what you said Adam does and “real” human progress? (A claim such as that should not be supported by opinion but by evidence or logic). I’m also curious what metrics you would use for “human progress” to sufficiently define what that even means.
@@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458 I don't know if this channel is a good platform to discuss epistemology, ontology or other key components of philosophy. I do agree with your criticism on 'real human progress' - there might be a better formulation applicable here - but I am not a native anglophone. What I mean is the following: my partner is a music teacher who works with children from a socio-economically disadvantaged background and she has shown some of Adam's videos in January 2022 in one of her classes. No less than 4 out of 11 children in that group now play guitar (only the recorder is mandatory) and practice Smiths and Morrissey covers, inspired by Adam's approach. Attendance in her class has increased dramatically and she often sees these young aspiring guitarists wearing Smiths t-shirts and hears them play their music on their phone. As for the last part of your comment (metrics for human progress to sufficiently define what that even means), I'm afraid I don't understand what you are on about. Metrics are not used to define a study object or concept but to prove a theory/hypothesis. In other words: the definition comes before the metrics in the scientific experiment. And 'sufficiently define what that even means' is a beautiful example of a pleonasm. May I suggest you study the Dunning Kruger effect before you plant anymore comments?
I'm always particularly impressed by your rhythmic strumming patterns and the ability to combine it with melody as well as top notch vocals, it's a combination you don't see a lot! It shows the amount of work that had to be done in order to achieve this, take pride into your accomplishments. You always inspire me to pick up the guitar again and try to the best of my (very limited) ability!
Yes! Came here to say that. There are people who can sing beautiful and heartfelt renditions of Morrisey's lyrics. But doing that and at the same time adapting Johnny Marr's intricated guitar licks full of pedal effects to acoustic guitar to accompany that... Of course, the talent shows in all the videos, not just the Smiths, but in these i think it's more noticeable how good Adam is in melding voice and guitar very seamlessly. So good to watch, Keep it up!
Oh man, I would be happy to be able to either play or sing, but to do both.... You are killing it! Love your covers! They take me back to my youth in a whole new way.
Beautifully performed and sung Adam. Polemic Pop Paradox of Morrisey. "The Pope of Mope." The Smiths created beautiful melodies and haunting vocals in exquisite pop songs masking completely Bleak House lyrics. You definitely capture the emotional extremities with a truly impressive vocal. Thank You.❤
I heard this song Yesterday on the radio (part of KROQ's history series for the end of the year or something), and then came across this cover. Awesome guitar arrangement.
I didn’t knew about The Smith because I’m from 20’s and after watching Bumblebee movie I got to know about him when I heard this beautiful humorous song😂❤ just awesome 👏 bro u have sang this song really great 👍 ❤nice voice✨
Perfection, as always, Adam!👍😎👍 Great work, bro.💗 I hope you and your family are having a happy week. I'm going to be taking a break from YT for a time, and I want to wish you and yours a wonderful spring/summer. Peace and brotherhood 😃🎸🙏💗🌏 ☮ Mac (aka RE-VO)

Agreed.
My girlfriend had an aneurism, went into a coma, and died. This song is so precious. Thank you Adam Barrett for the cry and the cover.
It is still an honor to hear you use your voice for this music, never stop
It’s an honour that you’re still interested in watching! Thanks for being here ✌️
