I first heard The Smiths in 1983 and fell in love with their music and lyrics. I was lucky enough to see them play live in both 1985 and 1986 and their gigs were celebratory experiences. I hope Nick & Lex react to more Smiths songs.
It's a mandolin near the end of the song that you thought was some Italian instrument. I love The Smiths & Morrissey, they have some of the funniest lyrics while still being able to make heartfelt sorrowful songs like this one as well.
I love The Smiths me and my wife seen them twice back in the 80's one of the greatest bands ever .This a great track. Back to the old house is another good one from the same album .I would love to be hearing this for the first time again classics
I know how you feel Lex about wanting to share a band you know and love. That's why we keep writing suggestions here (even though there's no way in a couple lifetimes to ever get to them all). For instance, Scott Walker's "The Old Man's Is Back Again". Vocals are great but the bass in the song is so good you'll be happy you listened. There's so many great Smiths songs.
There is a beautiful scene in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, when they are in the art gallery and this song is used. It is such a stunning piece of cinematography that fits in so well with the music. Such a melancholy song of sheer desperation and heartache. You guys gotta check out the piece from the film. It's a slightly different instrumental version but just so melodic it hurts.
Yes, it's one of those little songs that with time you tend to return to again and again... From the "singles side" of The Smiths, who used to release singles with new songs unrelated to the albums they had just released. Those singles-only songs, usually shorter and punchier than those released in the official albums, were then collected in their own album compilations such as Hatful of Hollow. This was another reference to the old times, when the first albums were basically collections of singles previously released and before artists began to think of the album as an entity that could be created all at once. The Smiths released a number of "singles albums" during its lifetime and Morrissey continued to do so in his solo career. Some of the very best Smiths songs were originally standalone singles, such as this one, "Half a Person", "How Soon Is Now?", "William, It Was Really Nothing", "Shoplifters of the World Unite" and "Panic".
The instrumental version of this song by the Dream Academy was used to great effect in the museum scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Check it out!! So gorgeous. ua-cam.com/video/ubpRcZNJAnE/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Yes it's an instrumental version with the chain of children holding hands with Ferris, Cameron and Sloane. It's an iconic 80s scene with beautiful music.
Great song. I have to say Lex that your t-shirt is really doing a number on my eyes. I don't seem to be able to focus when I look at you. Love you guys. Paul.
I love hearing your favorite music. The smiths are great, what a great and short musical diddy ❤️❤️. Now we need a long amazing Alan Holdsworth from sir Nick. Talk some Holdsworth to me 👍👍
Awesome!! This one always reminded me of "Girlfriend in a Coma", which is another great short song form the band that Nick listened to in one of my marathons and really liked it, but wished it was longer. Haha
This one always gets me, and mainly because I identified so much with it, hearing it soon after my marriage to the brilliant princess went kaput...and a new more suitable prospect had entered my life. Pretty in Pink had the song, associated with the Jon Cryer character I imagine. "How Soon Is Now" is the better dance song, but this has the better feels. I featured it on my final mixtapes back in the early '90s. Thanks y'all. Merry Christmas!
Another great Smiths masterpiece is This Night Has Opened My Eyes. Amazing guitar work by Johnny Marr. I could never get tired of it. Alexia, you tshirt is making me dizzy 😵💫😂
I was born in the very first NHS hospital “Park Hospital” in Urmston, Manchester. As was Stephen Morrissey. I walked past Johnny Marr, in my local Tesco a few months ago, he was on the phone, so I didn’t ask for a picture 😢 That joke isn’t funny anymore is possibly my favourite. By the way as a life long Waterboys fan, have you listened to “This is the sea” with !ex yet? 🤷♂️

Admito que no había escuchado esta canción, y es cierto que tiene un mensaje muy fuerte. Gracias por compartirla! ♥
What a poetic , beautiful song❤

There's so many great Smiths songs.
For me one of the best Smiths albums, this song is a good example.
My son has been a Smiths fan for almost 40 years..he has seen Morrissey in Las Vegas in concert

Funny, hearing this reminded me of that classic scene too, the song was used so powerfully.
@@RushTrader It was a cover though by the Dream Academy
@@killianlpc Please see my comment for a link! 😊
@@irishpaul3129 Yes that's right.
@@irishpaul3129 Yes, but true enough to the original that it reminded me of the scene in Ferris.
Love how much you feel these songs, Lex. 💚
Don’t listen to ‘asleep’ then … that’s about as dark as it gets! You’ll be in floods of tears 😢

Morrissey is quite the lyricist.
Good times fadeaway....

Yay, I have been looking forward to more Smiths/Morrisey. A rich seam of great music and lyrics ❤
Great song!!!!

Lex made me cry with her description.
Nice. What a great album. Not my favourite ( that would be The Queen is Dead) but really all really good songs.

you should checkout the Deftones cover of this.
Nick's first reaction to the Smiths was Headmaster Ritual
