I liked the Smiths before I heard this but hearing this for the first time was a jaw dropping moment, I lived and breathed the debut album as an 18 year old in 1984.
This song always brings me back...High School, emotional and crying into my pillow listening to this song after school. One of my Favorites of all time. Passion is under- rated.
ive been listening to the smiths solidly for 1 year (dont attack me im 14) and im still not bored they are without the best band ever in my mind theyve got everything a band needs. and more
Proof that the 'song' is the most important element to a great band. It is so simple, hardly anything going on, simple drums, simple guitar, simple bass and a strong melody. Just brilliant.
You are so right!!!! I was exposed to the smiths only about a year ago!!! :-(((( hey are definitely the best band in the magical 80's, and on top 5 or 3 of all times, alongside U2, the cure and REM!!! Aviad, Israel.
Can someone explain me why the hell I was born only in 1979????? I missed their peak years - and yet, I do fill my soul with all the "absent" oxygen!!!!! THE SMITHS=THE OXYGEN OF MY LUNGS. PERIOD.
was thinking of a "greatest first track of first LP" list (e.g., "Tears of Rage", "Runnin With the Devil", 'Radio Free Europe", "Waiting Room"), forgot about this one. also really great performance, tyvm for uploading
Yeah, you're spot on. It would definitely have been before the Smiths got popular. I used to be raving on that dance floor come 1989, being a Manc myself.
I'm a 15 year old girl listening to this and no i'm not a hipster -revolted face- i have loved the smiths since the age of 9. stupid hipsters listening to amazing songs like this for street cred.
@jod1jod What? What a silly thing to say. So let me get this straight, you think Morrissey is a talent but you only want him to sing about things you approve of? Or 'nice
ha ha i was there but to be fair they were just getting going and it was a while after this that they made it big not everyones cup of tea but i liked them thou his voice does drone on a bit i prefred the bunnymen
You know a band is great when all of their live performances on UA-cam are choppy VHS recordings, and yet they still sound amazing.
I'm always blown away by the quality of Morrissey's live performances. His voice is so fucking spot on.
i heard johnny would tune his guitar so it suited morrisseys voice more
*was so fucking spot on.
a lot has changed since the early 80s lol
@@TheInfamousLegend27oh yes indeed… not only the voice… unfortunately behavior and foremost attitude
@@m.h.8664not much you can do to tune a prima donna! (unless you plan on knocking a few teeth out)

"This is your new anthem if you but knew it. Reel around the fountain. Grab it" what a line !
In Morrissey's own words these are songs for life and people will be playing them for a long time yet.
2020 Pandemic lockdown and Morrissey was right. These songs are for life.
SilentLD feelings will never leave us
humble as ever, morrisey

Do you still listen?
you are 29 now!
damn unc
Andy''s playing is damn gorgreous
How are they not in the rock and roll hall of fame? This song is so hauntingly beautiful, reminds me of a beautiful time in high school 1992
This song is so fucking beautiful.
15 MINUTES WITH YOU OOHHH I WHOULDNT SAY "NO."
Proof that the 'song' is the most important element to a great band.
It is so simple, hardly anything going on, simple drums, simple guitar, simple bass and a strong melody. Just brilliant.
15 minutes with you is something everyone can relate to as we all meet them people in which we love 15 minutes
The Smiths - Quite simply, one of the best...ever.
The melody is unbeatable
"Oh, people see no worth in you, but I do"
Brilliant, I love you Morrissey
Smiths are the most amazing band in history. The chemistry between Morrissey and Marr will never again be repeated by anyone.
Beh, forse Plant/Page? Lennon/McCarthy? And others?
Shocked and saddened to hear about Andy Rourke. This was the one that got me hooked.
You are so right!!!!
I was exposed to the smiths only about a year ago!!! :-((((

Morrissey is an angel sent by God...
A massively significant band
Masterpiece...
Another smiths classic. Greatest band the UK has ever produced. What a sound, still unique 20 years later
The Smiths - one the most important bands I've ever listened to.
Andy rouke it's very brilliant.... I love
I was born in '89. It makes me sad too. Not only that, but think about how much great music they would have made if they continued on!
I think this is one of the most brilliant songs ever written. It means alot to me. It was big when I was a teenager. I related to it so much.
The band is amazing... one of the more beautiful sons in my opnion...
i love this song
the best song of The Smiths!
The Smiths were virtually unknown at this time and the Hacienda attracted a very different crowd than other venues did.
was thinking of a "greatest first track of first LP" list (e.g., "Tears of Rage", "Runnin With the Devil", 'Radio Free Europe", "Waiting Room"), forgot about this one.
also really great performance, tyvm for uploading
It's one of Johnny's simplest songs (just arpeggiating the chords really), but it never ceases to entrance me. And the bass too, incredible
They were just starting and already they sounded on point, just flawless
you are right. they were spot on from day one. not many bands can say that.
In his "Who put the M in Manchester" video he said "You've made a happy man very old." It was his 45th birthday.
Total genius
I Love this genial man.
Perfection. Music for my soul.
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss of how you took a child and you MADE THEM OLD
Fantastic video! I love this song. Thank you very, very much for posting.
Yeah, you're spot on. It would definitely have been before the Smiths got popular.
I used to be raving on that dance floor come 1989, being a Manc myself.
What a tune.
I watn to die when listening to this song..... when my time is up!
A beautiful song, simply beautiful.
Génial du pur bonheur ..... Very good song ,
Os melhores de todos os tempos.
Simplemente hermoso
Ivana Saavedra Jumpa uno de mi favoritos tambien.
WONDERFUL!
Excellent
wow, their early performances and debut album really set a standard
you are right. they were spot on from day one. not many bands can say that.
15 Minutes With U, Oh I Wouldn't Say No!!!
ANDY ROURKE

Che meraviglia ❤️😍
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly.....youre the bees knees BUT SO AM I

OMAGGGGGGAAAHHHH slap me on the patio!
Power ballad 🥲
Wow Johnny’s playing this with tremolo!
This is your new anthem if you knew it, grab it!
simplemente hermosa
That guitar with tremolo is something else innit?
Fucking unfathomable ❤️
WTF?! THE Smiths making history and everybody in the audience looks..bored (?) wish i was there (like an insane groupie,of course) lol
i agree. I m in the same mood
Someone said that the crowd were half dead and they were full right!!!!
The best band ever walked upon this fuckin' and miserable planet. period. Apology in advance to all the other bands...... I'M SORRY.........
One of my best ten

@ecnajhpler 'or one that started listening to them last week' ?
I agree with @whitbyjet65
@steve77london Nice.

Well ...
where?
*goes back to sit in bedroom with a laptop (For me anyway)*
morrissey was accused of condoning child abuse after this song was released.
A total Misunderstanding of the lyrics at that time for some pappers
henry who?
ha ha i was there but to be fair they were just getting going and it was a while after this that they made it big not everyones cup of tea but i liked them thou his voice does drone on a bit i prefred the bunnymen
me i'm afraid...
Love his music, hate his hate of meat.
I met morrissey once, tongue tied and confused, too emotionally inept to converse
Really? When?
Him or you?
