Late gen x here .. born in 80. And I agree luckily I had an older brother and older friends to introduce me into all of the great music of the 80’s. The 90’s were good too. But the 80’s were the best.
Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench Where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down Armageddon, come Armageddon Come, Armageddon, come Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard How I dearly wish I was not here In the seaside town That they forgot to bomb Come, come, come, nuclear bomb Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey Trudging back over pebbles and sand And a strange dust lands on your hands And on your face On your face On your face On your face Everyday is like Sunday Win yourself a cheap tray Share some greased tea with me Everyday is silent and grey
I remember those days.. The 80's were so weird at first and then you got used to all the new wave and alternative music.. I remember singing to the Violent Femmes and They Might Be Giants.. and then the 90's crept in.. It was still really good but these bands were beginning to fade.. their stuff started sounding old and played out.. Nobody wanted to see (or be caught dead at) the 4th showing of Depeche Mode.. Synth-pop was dying. Everyone was sick of poppy boy bands, big hair, brightly colored tights wearing pseudo rockers.. That grunge sh!t came in and the Pacific NW rock scene took over.. and just like that the 80's weren't cool anymore.
A song about youth . Dreams . Hopes. A song about growing up in the 80s .Those who wanted something different to the mainstream .Brilliantly realised .
On my divorce I used to see my two young children every Sunday. After dropping them off back with their Mum I played this sog on the long drive home. I would be happy that I had seen them but so sad to leave them. I cried as I drove & I still cry now when I hear this. Such sad days.
Reading these words is like looking in a mirror mate... Dropping my lad off got me choked every time.. Trying to put on a face before I knocked the door on Xmas morning feeling so torn up that leaving a couple of hours later almost became a relief..? Chin up mate, they'll always know deep down who was really there for them (not a dig at their mum in any way as I'm sure you know) and so will you!
Omg.. I know exactly how you feel. I was an idiot, I ruined my marriage and seeing my 2 young children every other weekend was an absolute heartbreaker.. looking at the clock on a Sunday afternoon dreading that time to take them home. 6 years later even though my daughter is a teenager and has her own life my son is 12and taking him home still destroys me. I know it was my fault but God its still the hardest thing ever. This song is incredible but such sad times.
This song and video perfectly captures the mood and feel of a British seaside town that has long since seen its glory years. These towns are now trapped with this retro aesthetic, the thrills of yesteryear and a seemingly permanent population of old age pensioners that languish in this distant nostalgia. These are the places where the working class (some middle class too), displaced and pushed out of bigger more competitive cities, come to find some semblance of a more traditional family life. Their children end up like the female protagonist in this video, wandering aimlessly through a grey time capsule of a town, trying to find meaning in this decay and forgotten past. The sea provides a glimpse into the wider world and allows one to ponder on the possibilities, but is it enough to galvanise them? In the end most of them become content in the mundaneity of it all. The various trends, subcultures and consumer product that filters out from inland and into these towns can provide a distraction; but before they know it, they are the grey haired old bags and geezers that crowd the bingo halls and penny arcades. Whilst this all sounds very depressing, I do think the tale of the English seaside town, its rise and fall in the 20th century and beyond, is infinitely fascinating. This is a eerily beautiful vignette that illustrates this perfectly.
This song always makes me cry, is so beautiful on every single aspect, gen X here, filled with nostalgia for the good old days when music meant something.
A time capsule for Southend-On-Sea in 1988 that needs to be cherished. Those days are long gone and the memories fade. One day this is all we will have
johan- Morrissey is a polarizing figure because he reveals life's truths. We live in a world where telling the truth is a revolutionary act. ( my apologies to George Orwell.)
man those were the days. we're so lucky to know what it was like "before". Look up some tiktok videos of high school kids in the 80s. make u cry being reminded of how we engaged with each other then...sigh...
This song gives me goose bumps and reminds me of being a carefree teenager, feeling excited about life and looking forward to the future. Sunday used to be a special day when the country came to rest for a few hours. Now it is just another stressful day in a greedy and cut-throat world where the mega rich have their feet firmly on our necks..
Must be nice to have rose tinted glasses in reality domestic abuse was rampent everyone was over worked all the small coal mining towns were failing and people had no jobs alcoholism began to get out of hand and forget about fair pay ignore the racism and yeh perfect
@@yoshi0k262 he didn't say it was perfect. Also, everything you mentioned is still true, only now we have the added bonus of the destruction of the middle class and a control over society so thorough that the tiny scraps of hope that we clung to back then have been wiped away. Everything you just said, plus the casual kick in the face of absolute and irrefutable hopelessness.
I'm from Brazil and I love Morrissey and The Smiths. Your songs are beautiful, beautiful songs that talk about subjects that few people talk about. The sadness that sometimes human beings go through, the depressions. Morrissey masterfully manages to put those feelings into words.

Sou brasileiro também e concordo plenamente com vc. Eles conseguem colocar em músicas o que as pessoas sentem e vevenciam em suas vidas, às vezes de forma irônica, às vezes de forma melancólica. Suas canções são maravilhosas.

In the 80's I wasnt really a fan of the Smiths at all, but as time as gone on, I've realised just how good Morrissey really is. He is without doubt probably one of the most talented British artists of the last 3 decades. His lyrics, music, and most of all voice, are so unique. He is a legend.👍
Come to Manchester and the town centre now is full of assorted uneducated toerags , shallow plastics and scroats with no appreciation of tge music from Manchester or its musical history.

Anybody remember when sundays were sundays. Days spent with families no shops open maybe a newsagent or offy or a garage. How the times have changed. Brilliant tune Brilliant artist Glad this will never change 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Reminds me of being nineteen, stuck at a college I hated, wanting something more but not knowing how to get there... It was such a miserable time in my life, but this song is so sublime that it almost makes me nostalgic for those days.
M. S. Exactly first track I thought of when this all began to take shape open.spotify.com/user/1122533510/playlist/1D9wFxFi4hjQISOURcb2TQ?si=_pNiQ-GAThqXHsS9fP3aXg
I'm watching this for about the millionth time in my life, and it makes me feel the same as it did in the 80's. Melancholy, sad, happy, and still wishing I was that girl in the video, or the girl in How Soon Is Now. It's silly really, but it's crazy the way a song can make you feel.
Homework and my Mum's crap roast. Seaside much better than the shit hole I grew up in! Morrissey wouldn't have made it to adulthood had he been born in Tadcaster!
PERFECTION. Complete and utter PERFECTION. The most beautiful and enigmatic human God has ever blessed us with. I’ve had his framed poster over my bed for 20 YEARS!!!!
His voice is one of those legendary voices that are just so unique and so perfect. Like Brian Ferry, Roy Orbison or Tom Jones. Don't have to like their music, but one must recognize their sublime voice.
"I've already cried a lot when this hit reached the top 10 in 1988. This tune had mighty be the only real poem that could translate what you really felt at that..."!!!
As a 16 year old growing up in South Africa, I watched this music video with mates and loved the song. So irony of this story, is I now live in the town in the UK where this is shot.
Love love love this video. I remember it well. I've loved Morrissey since I was 14 am now 45, almost 46. Still love Morrissey and all the music I grew up listening to.
This song just makes we want to cry now. If the true meaning of nostalgia is the pain of an old wound then this song is the most nostalgic I can think of. Times probably weren't better 35 years ago but they seemed a lot better than now. At least when you're young there's hope and possibility but as you're worn down by life with nothing but a feeling of weltschmerz then I sure lament those happy days of the past . The only thing to be glad about in your 50's is that even a natural life means there's not an egregious amount of it left to endure. The state of the country and indeed the world is nothing to cheer about. Funnily enough, I live in the actual coastal town they forgot to close down. Come Armageddon, come Armageddon.
Oh my GOD. I've never thought to look this song up. I'm 50 and this is blowing my mind. The fashions, the song, the vibe. Blasted this old man back to 1988.
Me too! I’m 48 and when I was 16 I wanted to be this girl so badly. It was my dream to be that cool. Now I watch this video and I think God what a brat she was! LOL. I guess 30 years does change a person.
Used to go out with a girl back in the 80's with hair like this. Now married to her and getting older. Something about this video which reminds me of that great time in my life. What a song.
Todays kids, the gen z-ers, zoomers and millenials will never know what sundays were like in the 80's.... nothing was open, nobody was in the streets,.. oh wait, corona virus.
It's funny things have changed so much since then, but I still hate Sunday's, that day by far was the most depressing day of the week, forced to go to church, the "Blue laws" were still in effect, had to visit granparents, feel like A shit saying that, miss them now, and their stories about the depression, all I could think about was going to school the next day, and waiting for Brezhnev and Reagan to finally have it out. 😱 "Come, come, nuclear dawn".
I was 17 when this was released, living in Southend where it was filmed. I wore exactly those clothes - DMs from a shop in the precinct. It was a bit run-down then but Lordy, this video makes me laugh now. Mardy mare, thinking she's Oh So Superior to the older women. Now she's old herself; having young women calling her a boomer. Great song.
I saw him live recently, in a show that, inexplicably, was in this little town in Texas that I live near...I'd liked The Smiths, and what little of his solo work I'd heard, but, hey, somebody like this was playing here? I wasn't gonna miss that...It was in a beautiful old downtown theatre that had recently been restored and is far, far too underutilized...Great show...But he did this song...I may have heard it before, but that doesn't really matter, because this is one of those rare songs that even if you haven't ever heard it before, it feels like you have, and it feels like you always loved it, and it feels like it was always a part of your life...By the time he hits that first chorus, you are sold...
This video was shot in the Southend of my teenage years. I worked a summer season in the Three Shells Kiosk which is shown and also in the record shop (Golden Disc) although after it was taken over by HMV. It perfectly sums up the sense of adolescent alienation from that provincial hometown. Now it just makes me feel nostalgic about the place though!
I hear my daughter on tiktoc and the clips she plays i sometimes hear golden songs like this, a little piece of history I enjoy telling her about. These were the happiest days and I didn't even know it then! Take me back 😫
Outstanding, I can't think of another artist who was with a phenomenal group and continued this into a solo career with as much vigor! Most solo artists have one or 2 hits and they fall by the wayside Pure magic
Watched 120 Minutes EVERY Sunday & or recorded it on a VHS tape for Mon after school! I kept a diary of band names, all so interesting then, Dinosaur Jr's & My Blood Valentines & They Might Be Giants & Cures & Lush & Cocteau Twins & none shall ever know the purity of hearing the music that changed life such as it did with me circa 1986+
"Everyday is like Sunday" has never made as much sense as now.
We might listen to Panic in a different light too ;)
Thats why im here. Isolation by joy division next. :)
@@stereogrIm Isolation is better than Transmission!
YEEP !!!!
Poesy. Spirit unrivaled. Cannot tell someone how much this song means to me..
makes britain's "silent and grey" seaside towns achingly beautiful.
1:16 reference to The Smith’s 2nd studio album, “Meat Is Murder”(1985).
The 80s were the best time of my life in every aspect.Glorious era for the Generation X no doubt.
I had more fun in the 90's
Absolutely,this gem of a video takes you right back to the mid 80swhat a treasure for gen x
Late gen x here .. born in 80. And I agree luckily I had an older brother and older friends to introduce me into all of the great music of the 80’s. The 90’s were good too. But the 80’s were the best.
I had a wonderful time! We all got along - no one looked at race, gender, orientation, nothing. At least that was my experience!
Shell suits no money thatcher u sure that u not got Ur toes tinting glassing on
Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench
Where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon, come Armageddon
Come, Armageddon, come
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard
How I dearly wish I was not here
In the seaside town
That they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come, nuclear bomb
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
And on your face
On your face
On your face
On your face
Everyday is like Sunday
Win yourself a cheap tray
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey
Gracias x escribir canción así la puedo entender
What a wonderfully depressing, sad, uplifting, happy song. The 80s hey, how I miss that decade.
Nothing like melancholic pop music, this and For a Friend by The Communards stand as some of the best '80s examples.
Amen!

All I had to worry about was college and the Hacienda,boardwalk ….fantastic days I loved them so simple …
Sundays in the 80s when all the shops were shut, films and religious programmes on the TV. It could be silent and grey but I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Me and you both, Monty.
Yep, 100%
In a heartbeat
I live in a country where the shops are shut on Sundays and holidays. These are regarded as "family days". I love it.
@@SteveMcQueen999That is awesome! I’m a conservative area of Texas and still, all the shops are open on Sundays. Hate it!
A song about youth . Dreams . Hopes. A song about growing up in the 80s .Those who wanted something different to the mainstream .Brilliantly realised .
They got it.
These quiet seaside towns won't exist for much longer. I'm not sure Mozzer approves of the change though.
What the fuck are you talking about? Are You foreign?
Spot on!
Love this man...he dragged me thru the 80's..35 years later, I still love him.
Perfect, 49 years old walking my dog to the store on a rainy Thursday night in Boston! Life is good!
What is this promenade walk about nonsense?
This is a song that transcends the desire to be free during periods of shite. On your face. Trudging over wet sand. Silent and grey. Sun came out.
He dragged me through the 80s too
He talks absolute cack though
When I meet a guy who feels Morrissey's music the way I do, I won't let go.
Lily V a shame no girls do anymore
Pity you weren't around when i were't lad.
Lily V And here I am living in Los Angeles asking myself the same question. 😞

Incredibly, we had Ian Curtis and Morrissey in the same decade.
Don’t forget Robert Smith too
Don't forget Echo, New Order, Peter Murphy, REM, U2, The Housemartins...
I'd give a lot to go back to Sundays like that.
Cruise ships for old people are like that.

This song always makes me cry, is so beautiful on every single aspect, gen X here, filled with nostalgia for the good old days when music meant something.
1961 - 1995 RIP They can't even do remakes of good songs and sound good.
A time capsule for Southend-On-Sea in 1988 that needs to be cherished. Those days are long gone and the memories fade. One day this is all we will have
All these former holiday towns are all Muslim now.
Holding back the yeaaaaaaaars
Eastbourne! Still rocking looool
Video was filmed in Southend but am sure Mozza said he wrote it after a trip to Morecambe. Happy to corrected though!
@TrickyTone873 no your right I'm sure, I was merely pointing out eastbourne still has those vibes for those looking for the nostalgia.

I lived in Southend for 20 years and often sat on the bench at 1:11 in the video. It was still blue and white in 2018 when I was last there.
I'm so happy to have been alive in the 80s. The Smiths were a great band.🎸🎤🎹

In the 80's I wasnt really a fan of the Smiths at all, but as time as gone on, I've realised just how good Morrissey really is.
He is without doubt probably one of the most talented British artists of the last 3 decades.
His lyrics, music, and most of all voice, are so unique.
He is a legend.👍
The Smiths' music was written by Johnny Marr tho. I don't know who writes his solo stuff, but I doubt he's writing every song.
Smiths were not only Morrissey, don't forget that
Without doubt probably . Certainly maybe . Absolutely perhaps .

"Win yourself a cheap tray"
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey
Only Morrissey can paint a picture in two lines
Grazie!

Nothing can beat this song
20 years later and I still know every word by heart ❤️
Me too....
Anybody remember when sundays were sundays.
Days spent with families no shops open maybe a newsagent or offy or a garage.
How the times have changed.
Brilliant tune
Brilliant artist
Glad this will never change
🤗🤗🤗🤗
You want shops to be closed?
@@LarsRyeJeppesen
Nooo
I never said that.
All I said does anyone remember them days.?????😀
@@daveoneill8235 sorry
@@daveoneill8235 I remember! Coupled with the dread of school the following day, Sundays could be so bleak.
@@daveharo9878
Yeah n summer holidays were forever😀
I feel sorry for those who didn't grow up in the 70s and 80s listening to all the great music made
I agree, some of the best music hall songs were written between the 1870s and the 1880s. After that it was downhill all the way.
Reminds me of being nineteen, stuck at a college I hated, wanting something more but not knowing how to get there...
It was such a miserable time in my life, but this song is so sublime that it almost makes me nostalgic for those days.
Great track, one of his best. It's good to hear it again.
the Coronavirus quarantine is causing us all to live like Morrissey in his youth and I am loving every second of it
Me too.....
Soo right.
@@florianalexander You just change the words Covid 19 for Armageddon - fits perfectly
M. S. Exactly first track I thought of when this all began to take shape

I spent the day in bed.
This is more than a song, it's an anthem.
Yes Sir!
@Juan Perez both
We must support this great musician.
Yeah, I hear he's really struggling.
I'm watching this for about the millionth time in my life, and it makes me feel the same as it did in the 80's. Melancholy, sad, happy, and still wishing I was that girl in the video, or the girl in How Soon Is Now. It's silly really, but it's crazy the way a song can make you feel.
Music brings people together as well as being good for your health and well being.
Totally understand Green ,i can see why people just drift off whilst listening to this (me included ) and i totally agree ''Every Day is like sunday''
Yuore the girl and i am a boy
The girl in how soon is now is Gorgeous
The girl is Miss Malcontent and looks disaffected. She stands for something. I can see why you’d admire her. 😊
this song is England on a rainy Sunday. The emotions and feelings just summed up in this song. proper legend..bosh
A Sunday before Sunday trading
Homework and my Mum's crap roast. Seaside much better than the shit hole I grew up in! Morrissey wouldn't have made it to adulthood had he been born in Tadcaster!
But everyday is like Sunday.
M
Wish I could visit England...Cheers!
this captures the late 80's perfectly, it wasn't all neon clothes and funny colored sunglasses
Quanta nostalgia di un tempo che non tornera' mai piu'.
The intro is brilliant.
Stephen morrisey was a poet and a genius. Love his lyrics.. Funny. Ironic. Sad. A bit sarcastic. Fabulous. 😊🤗
And still is.
@Yvonne Watkinson yes i agree just the same as Fish from Marillion was
Thanks for your responses guys don't usually get one 😊
@@yvonnewatkinson840 Hey no worries
Yeh fantastic til he went all racist
the ending to this is pure gold
John Brighton yeah, as much as I like the song it really is.
I wish everyday was sunday
Sundays, only fools and horses, biscuits, hangovers and tea with the parents we will miss for an eternity.
Sunday was such a special day in the 80s.
Everyday is like Sunday during the covid
@censortubenaut true 😭😭😭😭😭
Every day I am without someone dear to me is like Sunday
Pero encerrados en casa 😭😭😭
I'm on the seaside town they forgot to close-down 😂
Everyday is like sunday during the covid
To everyone who's fortunate enough to come across this song at some point in life, know this: you've experienced something truly special.
JSMTC, Aug 88, played mercilessly in the NAAFI bar................
Spot on, that is exactly how I feel about Morrissey's voice and lyrics whether solo or in The Smiths.
90s baby here. That’s how I felt upon stumbling into The Smiths’ music. Didn’t think I’d be into it, but boy, oh boy was I wrong!
100th like should be over a million
PERFECTION. Complete and utter PERFECTION. The most beautiful and enigmatic human God has ever blessed us with. I’ve had his framed poster over my bed for 20 YEARS!!!!
Sundays capture Melancholy in its essence. So does this song
This will be one of the key tracks when we all look back and reminisce about the global Corona lockdown of 2020.
His voice is one of those legendary voices that are just so unique and so perfect. Like Brian Ferry, Roy Orbison or Tom Jones. Don't have to like their music, but one must recognize their sublime voice.
I am so glad somebody said that...
Add Robert Smith to that list too
add vanilla ice to that list!!!!
Hi I have a song to recommend to you called 'where I come from' by Robert Nix
I’m American & this is the first time I really listened to this; quite impressed by it’s depth & how it relates to what we are facing in 24, 😎
was not a fan but found this six months ago, cant get it out of my head , Brilliant voice, song.
I love the Smiths and Morrisey! ❤
Nadia Espinoza yo también :)
linda essa musica
yes you love him so much you cant spell his name!!!
What the hell is wrong with you? Maybe English isn't her first language. I'm sure with you, everyday is like Sunday.
joelsantiago the smiths okey
This song depicts the typical day of boredom in a coastal city in England. It Could be anywhere in the world. Morrissey is a genius
+terence magee. Thank you.
Morrissey deserves to be in the Songwriters Hall of Fame
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I love Smiths and Morrissey this vibe it's something special, really cool!
"I've already cried a lot when this hit reached the top 10 in 1988. This tune had mighty be the only real poem that could translate what you really felt at that..."!!!
As a 16 year old growing up in South Africa, I watched this music video with mates and loved the song. So irony of this story, is I now live in the town in the UK where this is shot.
What's the name of the town?
@@Ozymandias1 Southend-on-Sea, it hasn't changed that much since this was shot. :)
Love it ☁🖤☁
@@james5995 I was there today and it´s still the same, with that twinge of sadness
Ever see those two elderly ladies?
There are days that I am devastated by a nostalgic feeling, for good times I've lived, wonderful people I met, and places I visited.
Too many happy memories can bring pain.
Agreed ... it's a bittersweet feeling
Today’s music is garbage, hard to believe it’s been decades since I first heard this wonderful song.
Morrissey was ahead of his time. The most apt song to play during COVID1-9
Sundays used to be awful. Everything was closed.
The Specials 'it's all a load of BOLLOCKS' would of been more apt.
AKA 'pearls cafe'
Love love love this video. I remember it well. I've loved Morrissey since I was 14 am now 45, almost 46. Still love Morrissey and all the music I grew up listening to.
This song just makes we want to cry now. If the true meaning of nostalgia is the pain of an old wound then this song is the most nostalgic I can think of. Times probably weren't better 35 years ago but they seemed a lot better than now. At least when you're young there's hope and possibility but as you're worn down by life with nothing but a feeling of weltschmerz then I sure lament those happy days of the past . The only thing to be glad about in your 50's is that even a natural life means there's not an egregious amount of it left to endure. The state of the country and indeed the world is nothing to cheer about. Funnily enough, I live in the actual coastal town they forgot to close down. Come Armageddon, come Armageddon.
I don't think funnily is a word but I love your passion
@@yasielpuig9991 Thanks! Funnily is an English word, it means in a funny or strange way especially if it's unexpected or coincidental.
early 80s... the melody bar... rutgers new brunswick... the memories - RIP Greasy Tony's
Oh yes I remember that place!!! What memories it evokes!! Thanks for the reminder!
Oh my GOD. I've never thought to look this song up. I'm 50 and this is blowing my mind. The fashions, the song, the vibe. Blasted this old man back to 1988.
Buddy, I'm 56 and feel the same!
@@davidscottthayer8078 Are you guys really 50 years old man playing youtube sir? Cause it sounds something
Me too! I’m 48 and when I was 16 I wanted to be this girl so badly. It was my dream to be that cool. Now I watch this video and I think God what a brat she was! LOL. I guess 30 years does change a person.
@@betterunknown1194 56 buddy. Been listening to Morrisey and The Smiths since 1985.
@@davidscottthayer8078 61 here . Remember my 80's in England !
Used to go out with a girl back in the 80's with hair like this. Now married to her and getting older. Something about this video which reminds me of that great time in my life. What a song.
Old fart
@@patttrick You're much older yet.
And on your face, on your face, on your face…my favorite part of this song.
Radiation on our faces
I love the subtle, working class humour of this giant of a man.
Todays kids, the gen z-ers, zoomers and millenials will never know what sundays were like in the 80's.... nothing was open, nobody was in the streets,.. oh wait, corona virus.
Gen Xers were alive in the 80s.
@@kevinkibble8342 What's more, we were very bored teenagers in the 80's.
They do now, with lock down every day is like Sunday.
Dont you mean Gen Z?
It's funny things have changed so much since then, but I still hate Sunday's, that day by far was the most depressing day of the week, forced to go to church, the "Blue laws" were still in effect, had to visit granparents, feel like A shit saying that, miss them now, and their stories about the depression, all I could think about was going to school the next day, and waiting for Brezhnev and Reagan to finally have it out. 😱
"Come, come, nuclear dawn".
I was 17 when this was released, living in Southend where it was filmed. I wore exactly those clothes - DMs from a shop in the precinct. It was a bit run-down then but Lordy, this video makes me laugh now. Mardy mare, thinking she's Oh So Superior to the older women. Now she's old herself; having young women calling her a boomer. Great song.
Heartbreaking and beautiful
Anos 80 nunca morrerão. Época fantástica
I will forever love Morrissey.
I saw him live recently, in a show that, inexplicably, was in this little town in Texas that I live near...I'd liked The Smiths, and what little of his solo work I'd heard, but, hey, somebody like this was playing here? I wasn't gonna miss that...It was in a beautiful old downtown theatre that had recently been restored and is far, far too underutilized...Great show...But he did this song...I may have heard it before, but that doesn't really matter, because this is one of those rare songs that even if you haven't ever heard it before, it feels like you have, and it feels like you always loved it, and it feels like it was always a part of your life...By the time he hits that first chorus, you are sold...
JONATHAN LOCKE wow how lucky to see him live
Natalie Marchant does a cool version too. I don't know who is original.
@@Hoonozit Um...I'm sure Morrissey's is.
Ok thanks @lemurian chick.
How id love sundays go back to how they once were greed has changed our sundays but at least we still have morrisey and memories
This is football.
These two 'come armaggedon' verses are the best experience to me this week
It's Sunday and this song is helping me to finally relax. Thank you Morrissey ✌
This video was shot in the Southend of my teenage years. I worked a summer season in the Three Shells Kiosk which is shown and also in the record shop (Golden Disc) although after it was taken over by HMV. It perfectly sums up the sense of adolescent alienation from that provincial hometown. Now it just makes me feel nostalgic about the place though!
Hi, do you recognise the street at 00.45 with what looks like Luke's Bar and Disco ?
skinnytinny hi. At 00:45 that was pier hill and on the right walking up the hill it used to be called Mr B's in the late 80's and 90's 👍🏻
Mr B s, owned by a Mr Mike Bolam. If I remember correctly.
That's exactly the comments section is so invaluable sometimes
I moved to Southend in the 1989s for work, I loved the four years there, and still have contact with friends I made in my time there.
I hear my daughter on tiktoc and the clips she plays i sometimes hear golden songs like this, a little piece of history I enjoy telling her about. These were the happiest days and I didn't even know it then! Take me back 😫
Outstanding, I can't think of another artist who was with a phenomenal group and continued this into a solo career with as much vigor! Most solo artists have one or 2 hits and they fall by the wayside
Pure magic
I still appreciate his work as an artist, even though he chose to become a terrible person: white nationalist and rape apologist. Look it up
Yeah Phil Collins never did that did he?
And where’s Phil now?
We’ve just been to see Morrissey and he’s still writing amazing songs .
One of the most underrated singers ever, but a true great in my opinion.
Steve Morley morrisey underated?
Bro dont ever let him hear you say that
Dumb comment.
Underrated?
Absolutely!!!!!💜💜💜
Ah, Sunday - day of rest, odd day, day when we can feel very alone - captured so achingly in this song.
Sundays are depressing
Watched 120 Minutes EVERY Sunday & or recorded it on a VHS tape for Mon after school! I kept a diary of band names, all so interesting then, Dinosaur Jr's & My Blood Valentines & They Might Be Giants & Cures & Lush & Cocteau Twins & none shall ever know the purity of hearing the music that changed life such as it did with me circa 1986+
one of the most perfect songs ever ^^
