I can honestly say this song was a defining point in my childhood. It was ‘84 and I was 12. I was at my best friend Sandy’s house when all of a sudden I hear this guitar riff and Morrissey’s distinct voice coming out of her older sister Marie’s room. I immediately ask Sandy what Marie was playing and she shrugged so I went to Marie’s room and stood by her door as she was applying her eyeliner in the mirror and singing along. I saw the Hatful of Hollow album cover on her bed and asked her what she was listening to. She casually replied “The Smiths” and I made a mental note. That moment in Marie’s room changed me. The sound was unlike anything I had ever heard before. l literally felt hypnotized and I had a weird sense that I would never be the same again. Like all of a sudden I felt older and wiser. I eventually got the record a few weeks later and have been listening to it ever since. I’m 50 now and I’ll never forget the feeling of hearing The Smiths for the first time.
This sounds like a start to a movie about a fan who heard his favorite band for thr first time and sets out to see a show with his friends, simply beautiful!
The guitar playing on this track is magical. The amount of detail Johnny Marr put into rhythm guitar parts with no intention of ever soloing is staggering.
And from someone so young at the time. Marr has a knack of making it sound like its 2 guitarists playing. They recorded this song for a peel session and it was complete wizardry
It seems like he uses a looper. At 3:10 you can clearly hear the rhythm riff while he plays other chords. I'm not sure though what exactly he uses though or how.
My dad has just surprised me with his old signed copy of this record upon me buying a record player. We brushed off 30+ years of dust and let it roll - fantastic moment!
1984, 16 yrs old, recently moved to a new town, few friends, on the fringes, then this album came out and I knew I was home. I had my place. Brilliant.
That's so strange as that lyric popped into my head randomly (or not) just a few days ago and I remembered that it was from The Smiths as I played that album till the vinyl went white as a teen. I then started contemplating it's meaning and concluded that Morrissey is an old soul for sure!

Seriously this girl did the worst thing to me worse than cheating basically ruined my self love and confidence for life lol and the smiths have been hitting more than ever before for me haha
I love how the song lyrics are almost entirely clichéd phrases put together for a fantastic whole: "All men have secrets and here is mine" "through hell and high tide" "Heavy words are so lightly thrown" "leap in front of a flying bullet" "the Devil will find work for idle hands to do" "I've only got two hands"
I'm in the mid 40s, was too young to listen to The Smiths when they were on the height of their career, but I fell in love with them a later in life and now the more I listen to The Smiths, the more I love them! Especially Morrissey, he's such a gem!

The brilliance of Morrissey's lyrics and Johnny's music will last the test of time because they will remain relevant to all the young generations to come !
Blue eyes, that voice, weird dance moves, style, love for poetry, damn i wish i was alive on those times and talk with him at 3 am about life in a rooftop under the stars
the 80s were fantastic , we had poll tax riots, miners strikes, falklands war, aids, the cold war, but we didnt sit indoors scared of everything. then the wall came down and we all got cell phones and the internet and that seems to have been our downfall
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique artists such as the Smiths and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
"Potentially"...?....using what form of "potentiometer" pray tell ? SP Morrisey wrote many great lyrics, drawing often upon his love of Oscar Wilde and his lyricism, and it must be said, Morrisey's ability to reference the sensibilities within certain movies of the 1960's in England.
...and who receives less credit from Smiths fans than one might imagine. To describe him as "the lead guitarist for The Smiths", as many do, denies him his rightful place as coauthor of almost EVERY Smiths hit. See him in Modest Mouse, and solo.
I still remember the moment I instantaneously fell in love with The Smiths when I was 16, 22 years ago now. I think The Smiths has an eternal quality, you never fall out of love with their music and the way it makes you feel - all the more, as a teenager.
Undoubtedly the greatest band ever in the history of great bands. Lyrics mean so much to some people backed up by an incredible band who were so talented in their own right
This The Smiths song What Difference does it make is truly a Masterpiece of music Amazing Brilliant Wonderful song from the Amazing Brilliant The Smiths from a 61 years young Irishman fan from Dublin 😊 rip Andy Rourke
Johnny Marr was for me,really the most talented member of the Smiths . Morrisey's vocals here are good, but it is Johnnie Marr;s guitar riffs that for me make this track one of my all time favourites.
+Roger Jones Marr is in the running for my fave guitarist ever. Those lovely jangly notes. Of course there's some other bands who have sort of a similar lovely sound. Cure. Stone Roses. Too many more too name. But Marr did that amazing one of a kind sound on How Soon is Now. That alone trumps almost anything I have ever heard. And hell, there's probably ten songs by the Smiths I give 10 out of 10 and sound like nothing else except other Smiths songs. I think about Marr a lot actually, because I love that sound so much
Hugh jazz totally not racist there... I'm just going to saying right here right now. If you don't want people calling you racist, don't post a comment that will more than likely get you in shit. Just warning you before the hurricane of "You're racist" comments come to you.
1:42 to 2:17 is absolutely FUCKING EPIC. You can hear the crowd going mental as it sinks in what they are witnessing. This is at the very apex of perfection.
This song makes everything seem so simple. As soon as I hear the “so what difference does it make” it feels like everything doesn’t matter, my problems, my ideas, my thoughts, and it’s weirdly calming that way. Helps me through tough times.
I started listening to the Smiths again in lockdown , hadn't really listened to them since the 80s , though I did see a couple of tribute acts and I'm back in love with them and playng some Smith's tunes with my band . The Smiths were the first band I ever saw live and was lucky enough to see them again , both times at the Aberdeen capital , the 2nd time I saw is still the best gig I've ever been to
@@reddevil9554 marr is a guitar genius but the only god and guitar virtuoso is paco de lucia, it takes a bit of musical culture and knowledge to know that, cause paco is simply the best human to ever play guitar.
I lost my virginity while The Smiths played. I'd never heard them before but what a powerful thing experiencing those 2 things for the first time in unison.
This was a great time to be growing up in England. So many great bands; Smiths, Depeche Mode, New Order, Duran Duran, Siouxsie & the Banshees, etc. 🎸🏴
One of the Classic's from the 1980's club scene. I hate getting old. Please, someone invent a time machine so I can go the hell back to where I belong.
Every now and again, if I'm feeling a bit angsty (as happens to us all from time to time) I give this a blast. It disperses the pent up frustrations and sounds fantastic and makes feel 17 again all at once. An ear kissing, anger venting, nostalgia inducing tonic. Long live The Mozzer and Marr!
In the BBC series "The Rock and Roll Years", in the episode of the year 1984, this song is used as a background for the British Miners´Strike of that year
All men have secrets and here is mine so let it be known For we have been through hell and high tide I think I can rely on you And yet you start to recoil Heavy words are so lightly thrown But I'd still leap in front of a flying bullet for you So what difference does it make?

Every now and again, if I'm feeling a bit angsty (as happens to us all from time to time) I give this a blast. It disperses the pent up frustrations and sounds fantastic and makes feel 17 again all at once. An ear kissing, anger venting, nostalgia inducing tonic. Long live The Mozzer and Marr!

In the BBC series "The Rock and Roll Years", in the episode of the year 1984, this song is used as a background for the British Miners´Strike of that year
You know that feeling when you get bored of The Smiths? Lol me neither :3
agreed
LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pure genius
AYY LMAO you have a strokes pic
Strokes profile, commenting on a Smiths video. Are you me?
All men have secrets and here is mine so let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But I'd still leap in front of a flying bullet for you
So what difference does it make?
So what difference does it make?
It makes none, but now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why? because you asked me to
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because I've only got two hands
Well, I'm still fond of you
So what difference does it make?
What difference does it make?
It makes none, but now you have gone
And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight
Oh the devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and then I lied just because you asked me to
But now you know the truth about me
You won't see me anymore
Well, I'm still fond of you
But no more apologies
No more apologies
I'm too tired, I'm so very tired
And I'm feeling very sick and ill today
But I'm still fond of you
말 thanks
말 ..
Up
Oh, it's apologies not apple and cheese

This is top of the pops uk footage, i remember watching it. Think the soubd is dubbed from the single. Loved that band so much , they were so different from anything on the charts.
Johnny Marr is one of the best guitarists in the world! Greetings from Argentina.

That feeling you get when you listen to a song which brings memories and it feels as if it put you back in time...... Wow.
Went to see them in Reading in 1985. What memories.
Jake buggs kingpin sounds like what diff does it make liston to it
All the The Smiths songs are on a "Genious" Level,but this one always been the one that "messes" with me in a very special way.
53 and still singing The Smiths
Let's be honest, it's THAT guitar riff.
Thomas Donnelly marrs just absolute class
Yes.. Its a magic and how it blends with vocals... Amazing
Absolutely ,the genius of Johnny Marr!
YES
Yes. That's it. It's great.
Listening The Smiths Songs while reading a book about them... it' s 2022 and I love this music
I’m in love, the ending is my favorite part!!
At 0:40 when Marr leans his head back and Morrissey definitely saw it... And his slow lick over his lips... I'm dead.😳
What a great song... Born in 1979
Morrissey is such a charming man
See what u did there
Not really but I got the joke
Gigi Rauchut y do u disagree?
Berenice Jimenez he’s not a good man. I mean I love his music and his voice but everything else about him is just ugh
Trust me, he's a douche
Johnny looking very much like Keef at the same age.... loved this song when it came out.... love it still. Superb.
Still lovin his voice after 29+ years :)
