Love Morrissey and The Smiths I’ve never stopped listening them nobody made music like Morrissey and Marr only The Cure came close how about giving The Cure a go A Forest would be a good start
I always thought these guys were a bit like the Smith's. A little heavier but also very good. m.ua-cam.com/video/V-M9PNupZKU/v-deo.html m.ua-cam.com/video/3QOBOss-nEU/v-deo.html m.ua-cam.com/video/6N5wLZNEl_Q/v-deo.html m.ua-cam.com/video/E9GuSAyQ0VI/v-deo.html m.ua-cam.com/video/_tzoFIgNtQE/v-deo.html
@@ShalomBrother I would have said that, but many Beatle fans would have my head. I do believe the Smiths are best British band so far. I always thought the Beatles were overated.
How great to see a dad share Morrissey with his daughter. This song of course from the Viva Hate album. As a Smiths fan I held my breath the first time I listened to Morrissey’s solo album. I always wanted the Smiths to stay together but Morrissey obviously had a lot to say on his own and still does. Props to mom for loving this and for dad and daughter for giving it a chance. Music, great music heals our spirits and warms are hearts.
Nothing better to have the opportunity to share Smiths and Mozz with your children..Two of my 3 I still share with today ..In the 90's the Kill Uncle tour in Ca. shared three with my oldest daughter..Including the one @ LA Pauly Pav. when fans rushed the stage and Nov. Spawned a Monster was cut off and we had to leave..Those are life long treasures that will always stay close in your heart..Today, we play YT videos on a HUGE wall size screen and listen, cry, laugh, drink and act goofy pretty much simultaneously..Amazing times!! Love to all.
What's not to like man?!... Morrissey has a very soothing voice and this is quite a catchy song. The strings, the bass line and of course Morrissey's voice.
@@michaelwhelan2376 I was in Boston at the time and missed them because it was pre-internet days. I grabbed some bootleg live tapes from those 2 places in Harvard Square...I can't remember, I think one was called Mystery Train.
@@keithevans9544 Yeah. I was first introduced through Four Calendar Cafe and, as much as I enjoy that album, Blue Bell Knoll and Heaven or Las Vegas were my two favorites. I'd avoid the first two albums as a launching point, they're more of an acquired taste.
If you grew up in the 80's The Smiths, Depeche Mode and The Cure are the greatest bands of all time. They are the 80's version of The Stones, The Beatles and Pink Floyd.
@@idontwant2beasoldiermama241 That was the point. Those bands are as important to my generation in the 80's as those previous bands are to the baby boomers and are only starting to get appreciated for that now. Both The Cure and Depeche Mode are now in the Rock and Roll hall if fame as The Smiths should be also.
@@Wakeupdream Unreal,had my bass out as well,and tried playing along to it,as I said,it's been a few years since I had heard "November" so I was completely lost on it,but after a couple of plays,got the groove...but you are on the mark about the bass in this song - well spotted.
I love NOVEMBER SPAWNED ... and just about every other Morrissey song. Then I love even more Smiths songs because the Smiths had Johnny Marr as a guitarist. Smiths are without a doubt my favorite band.
Suedehead was a cultural brit gang of the early 1970's well dressed crombie coats, tonic trouser's, loafers brogues or zig zag shoes and haircut about 1 inch long.
There is a documentary on Netflix called "England is Mine" which chronicles Morrissey's early days prior to joining The Smiths.......and his friendship with Billy Duffy (The Cult), well worth the watch if you haven't seen it.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Morrissey's new material is brilliant as well.....the album "Years of Refusal" is particularly brilliant.....check it out 😉👌🏻👍🏻
@@erin.v.m657 absolutely 😉😊 been a fan for many many years.....I have just started reading his Autobiography (I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment 😊)
@@hullaballoo11 ...we certainly do. And you will love his book. The lawsuit issue drags a bit...but it's Morrissey. He is long winded and we love it. Enjoy !
This was Morrissey's debut solo single, released in the spring of 1988. You might like to react to the video for his 3rd release, Last Of The Famous International Playboys.
I love this song. I was a massive Smiths fan in my early 20s and then a massive Morrissey fan too. Very impressed that the Father knew so much info about the band and Morrissey and even James Dean considering he said he wasn't that much of a fan. Your wife and daughter have great taste, and good to see your appreciation too. The song itself is one of Morrissey's best in my opinion, even though it's short on lyrics, it seems to have that Johnny Marr quality of guitar, even though he wasn't playing. Not sure if you and your wife are fans, but I would also recommend another Manchester band in the Stone Roses. I'm from the North West of England (same as Morrissey) and we have some of the best music of that period in my opinion.
I heard this song countless times on the radio before really digging in and listening to it. I love it now, but man, I ignored it for a long time. The diversity of music on this channel is great!
@@piglord7785 When I first heard this song it was way back before things like Pandora and Spotify. I usually listened to alt/indie stations. I really remember this song from an indie station back in the late 90s, but I can't remember the name. Now everything I listen to is from Pandora.
I'd been watching reactions to metal & am so glad to see one to my other favs of music. Not a fav song or album of his but appreciate her giving him a listen. Last saw him in the fall & he still sounds as perfect as all of his recordings. Give "Jim Jim Falls" from his new album a go. I never thought he'd make me want to dance!
The Poet Laureate of Passion and Pain. That is the genius of Morrissey! The Smiths and Morrissey are possibly one of the greatest alternative bands to come out of the UK. Endless masterpieces from both!
I think it's great that you and your wife remember the awesome music that was 🔥 when you were younger. I know I'll never forget the best era for coming of age.
When I first heard the smiths I was into a lot of heavy and dark metal and was “what’s this happy go lucky shit” as the music was very poppy and up beat....then I heard the lyrics and was “this guys if messed up” ....lol now this is my favorite band and I adore Johnny marr’s awesome guitar playing ...this opened me up to a lot more different genres ....also the first song you should expose some one to the Smiths has to be there is a light that never goes out
I love this music being from the UK and being middle aged now and having enjoyed this music in my youth.. I think it's so cool and I always want to play this music to my younger family members and other younger friends, but I'm always conscious that my idea of cool is probably far from what younger people believe to be cool nowadays... One of my fave music genres is Northern Soul a very British cult thing which had it's roots in the more obscure and rare label US soul music of the 60's and 70's albeit a decade behind... and I still listen and dance to this music today... but try and get younger people now to understand the passion for the music and they don't quite understand... like most things you had to be there at the time to truly appreciate it
I love Smiths and Morrissey. And for me was a great experience discover them on 90´s. For sure they have some influence molding my personality. I think if the teens nowadays will have the same relationship with music that we, olders ;-) have. Because 80´s and 90´s was different on listening to music... just a thought
someone is appreciating the genius of Morrisey, i was fortunate to see him perform once and that was at the Opryhouse in Nashville (a small and intimate venue, perfect for the music)
You played suedehead and mentioned the band Suede. Epic. Thank you for having great taste. Try November spawned a monster. And the videos have a good story behind them.
awww Paulie is adorable, looks like one my cats. Morrissey was actually the last concert I saw a few months ago. this song brings back high school memories..holy shit, I am getting old...LOL. Every day is like Sunday is a cool song as well ;)
So refreshing to see young people being introduced to Morrissey and The Smith’s music. Lyrically and Musically it really is an education. When most students study in Manchester they never leave. It must be something in the water.
The little boy carrying the book to Morrissey at the beginning of the video is his nephew Sam Esty Rayner. Sam is a photographer and travels and works with Morrissey- I think.
When I was a teenager, me and my younger brother, two years my junior, have a bit of a different music preference. I was more into rock and metal and him more into new wave. As I matured, I'm now into my 40's, I actually like listening to the songs he was listening to then.
This was Morrissey's first single after the break up of the Smiths. Tremendous single! When you get a chance listen to Kasabian---Club Foot and L.S.F. to start with---cheers for the channel!
The cat is clearly a Mozza fan and vice versa. Its also blatantly clear to see from his clumsy attempts to get that tractor moving that he never learned to drive. Sending love to you both from Manchester UK, the home of Mozza and the Smiths and so many other great bands and artists.
I was a big fan of The Smiths when they split up, but completely underestimated how important and talented Johnny Marr was. Moz has always been a brilliant lyricist with an amazing voice, and Johnny complemented it perfectly. I would almost say that the worst Smiths song is better than the best Morrissey-solo song... it's not, but almost. I also think Morrissey was a better songwriter when he was with The Smiths because he was younger and had more angst... then he became bitter and not nearly as funny. There was something hilarious to me about Morrissey's superficially depressing lyrics over Johnny's happy guitar playing.... but since then, the depressing lyrics stop being ironic and just became sad. Morrissey + Marr = legends
Dude you are a legend. Watching you is like being me 13 years ago when my daughter was the age of yours, and I was brainwashing...er...sorry, introducing her to diverse, good music. I have to say her pals often stopped by my study to ask what I was playing. She secretly loved that hahaha- nice videos.
I haven´t heard that song for decades..totally forgotten how nice it is... I´m not so into the Smiths/Morrissey usually but I love "Bigmouth strikes again"
As an introvert… the Smiths and Morrissey speak to me a LOT. I knew Morrissey for a while now but i gotta thank this one girl i hung out with a lot in 2018, who introduced me to the Smiths and made me discover so many gems. Those songs now always make me think of her all the time…
Wow, that was way out in left field. I used to listen to this song and always loved the video. You can see that Morrissey idolized James Dean to have gone all the way to Fairmount to shoot this.
Exciting that you're lovin' it. I've been absolutely loving Mozz and Smiths since later 80's..More to be revealed..Dive in for the best musical experience ever!!! Late Night on Maudlin Street , Alsation Cousin, and " London" by Smiths..And yes! get those recommendations from your wife. PS. You and your daughter are too cute together sharing this experience..
It's funny how much you liked this song after not liking it so much before, because that was also my experience with Morrissey. In fact, I absolutely HATED Morrissey when I first heard it (November Spawned a Monster). But a dude in my barracks bay in AIT (Army training to learn your job specialty) in '92 absolutely loved Morrissey and played it all the time. Eventually i went from hate, to singing along, to buying Morrissey CDs. And I'm more of a 90's Rock kind of guy, but I also listen to a lot of Morrissey, even now. I came home from AIT singing Every Day is Like Sunday all over the house, lol.
Also Morrissey was obsessed with James Dean, he's written books about him and his room was devoted to the actor with endless posters etc. You have to listen to There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, arguably the Smiths most profound song.
Smith's Lit up my dreary winter evenings after work. Love Mozza's work and As the lady on here comments, 'song to the siren' by This mortal Coil is a wonderful song to close your eyes and 'lose your self' for a few minutes. Just Beautiful.
This is how you listen to this kind of group Or band, the smiths, joy division, etc you pay atenttion you listen to every instrument and most important the lyrics, then you Will fall in love like everyone who did this
Does Annie like Reggae? Were UB40 big in America? Some of their best songs are, Red Red Wine, Homely Girl, Many Rivers to Cross, One in Ten, Rat in Mi Kitchen, (I can't help) Falling In Love With You (Elvis cover)
I used to date a Latino girl from Panama and she said what type of music do you like and i said have you have heard of the smiths she said no so i said listen to this charming man she was like omg thank you n😢❤
Please react to Suede: The Drowners, Animal Nitrate, So Young. They started the Britpop movement in 1992. Suede was named after this song. Morrissey covered a song of theirs, My Insatiable One.
Not sure he's figured out that he's listening to a song about a breakup that repeatedly ends with "It was a good lay" while his teenage daughter is right there. Back in the day we used to write that in the dust on cars.
You should give a re-listen to There is a Light that Never Goes Out. Morrissey and The Smiths have just as big a piece of my heart as Korn and Slipknot do.
It seems like your wife has impeccable music taste

Morrissey wrote a book about James Dean, before he got in a band (The Smiths). It looks amazing. Last I checked on Amazon it sells for around $700
A lot of people may not realize that is one of the greatest song ever written
I love The Smiths and can do (I'm told) a pretty flawlessly accurate Morrissey on Karaoke. Suedehead is one of Morrissey's greatest solo works.
The song is about James Dean. Its why the video was filmed in Fairmont, Indiana, his home town.

Also Morrissey was obsessed with James Dean, he's written books about him and his room was devoted to the actor with endless posters etc.
You have to listen to There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, arguably the Smiths most profound song.
yeah I got goosebumps listening to this...it's beautiful
Viva Hate , Your Arsenal, Vauxhall and I, Southpaw Grammar ....great albums
Smith's Lit up my dreary winter evenings after work.
Love Mozza's work and
As the lady on here comments, 'song to the siren' by This mortal Coil is a wonderful song to close your eyes and 'lose your self' for a few minutes. Just Beautiful.
I got to meet Johnny Marr! Coolest guy ever!
This is how you listen to this kind of group Or band, the smiths, joy division, etc you pay atenttion you listen to every instrument and most important the lyrics, then you Will fall in love like everyone who did this
You’ve got everything now by the smiths is a must. Has to be the Hatful Of Hollow version though
In Ant-Man and The Wasp Luis tells how his mom had a Jukebox that only featured Morrissey's songs... Just saying, Moms love him.
Awesome, listened it many times while listening KROQ growing up in L.A.
The kid doesn't give a shit it's hilarious!!!!!😂😂😂😂
More 80's music would be amazing. Looking forward to other songs from that era.
Does Annie like Reggae? Were UB40 big in America? Some of their best songs are, Red Red Wine, Homely Girl, Many Rivers to Cross, One in Ten, Rat in Mi Kitchen, (I can't help) Falling In Love With You (Elvis cover)
Johnny marr who was guitarist in the smiths plays the guitar on billie eilishs no time to die bond theme
I love the Smiths and I was lucky enough to visit the Salford Lads Club when I had a chance to visit Manchester.
I used to date a Latino girl from Panama and she said what type of music do you like and i said have you have heard of the smiths she said no so i said listen to this charming man she was like omg thank you n😢❤
I’m 17 and I’ve been obsessed with the smiths since about 13 Spotify acc sent me a notification saying I’m in the top 1% of all smiths listeners
My first comment as well.. Great song! It sounds like the mom and myself have a lot of the same tastes!
Another similar band from the same era is the Pixies. Í think they are worth a reaction or two
Thom Yorke agrees
Since you mentioned Suede I think that something by them would be great to see
Please react to Suede: The Drowners, Animal Nitrate, So Young. They started the Britpop movement in 1992. Suede was named after this song. Morrissey covered a song of theirs, My Insatiable One.
We never really got her opinion. She thought the cat was much more interesting. And who really cares what a 14 year old girl in 2020 thinks anyway.
Not sure he's figured out that he's listening to a song about a breakup that repeatedly ends with "It was a good lay" while his teenage daughter is right there. Back in the day we used to write that in the dust on cars.
I heard somewhere that it was lyrically full of double entendres, in a sort of carry on film way
Your wife has good taste with Suedhead. Excellent and beautiful song.
You should give a re-listen to There is a Light that Never Goes Out. Morrissey and The Smiths have just as big a piece of my heart as Korn and Slipknot do.
