Lyrics
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many
Bad memories
Too many memories
There...
There...
There...
When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to
Are you still there ?
Or...have you moved away ?
Or have you moved away ?
Oh...
I would love to go
Back to the old house
But I never will
I never will...
I never will...
I never will...
#TheSmiths #BackToTheOldHouse #HatfulOfHollow
I hate being in love.
So real
Word
Real
typa shi
Real
Normally after listening to a song for a while it doesn’t hit you like THAT anymore but this hits me everytime, everyday and everywhere.
for real
instant tears-
@@mariana.2523 THIS ONE IS
Agreed
Doesnt matter how many times did you ever listened to the smiths ....they hit you again as the first time
"and you never knew how much I really liked you couse I never even told you, oh and I meant to"
never had I heard such relatable lyrics.
hello shinnie
@@henrey-rj5mp lmaooo stopp
Only if I can change the word care with like
There are lyrics that Morrissey wrote that everyone on earth can relate to. He is a gift to mankind.
This is the most soul full, emotional, moving and beautiful song I've ever heard. I am 18 years old and I am a huge fan of the Smiths.
Ha same
Look up well I wonder
17y/o here and can relate
I do enjoy the smiths but morissey is a racist bag of literal shit I cant be an actual fan
im 14 and this is deep
I was a boy in the sixties. With the miracle of google maps, there it was, the house I grew up in. Sometimes it is okay for grown man to cry...
Ponyboy- As Moz would tell you, "That's how people grow up."
it's always okay for a man to cry
it is always okay to cry sir !
it's okay sir
Considering your name is Ponyboy, I can tell you’re truthful. You instantly reminded me of “Ponyboy Curtis”
The first time I discovered this song, I listened to it repeatedly for about a month. Still do.
ur pfp (most likely u unless ur a lesbian who set it to your gf) looks like hope sandoval from mazzy star!!!!!!
@@jhaynewe thats fked up you would say that jane is a beautiful song gna have to play again now
I first heard this song 18 years ago and I still have it on repeat haha
Do you could dance dance that song with me?
Have had on repeat since 1986?
*"I would rather not go back to the old house."*
this song for me is the peak of the smiths discography. morrissey is able to convey so much melancholic sorrow in such short lyrics that feel fleeting yet are still impactful. it's as if it was something someone said in a moment of passion without really thinking about the emotional consequences those words have until they finally set in at the very end of the song.
*"I would love to go back to the old house, but i never will."*
In a way I think it's a message on how old houses don't have the cool new features new houses are required to have, says a lot about society when you think about (we live in one probably)
@@DrivingSkeleton this has to be irony
@@DrivingSkeleton bruh
@@lilhades9484 Hi! Please state what's confusing with my paragraph I'll be happy to clear up anything :D
@driving skeleton I think it's about something less superficial than that
lyrics ♡
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many bad memories
Too many memories there
When you cycled by

The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you

I would love to go
Back to the old house

I never will

thank you
Thank you 😊
Graciasss
Don't mourn their parting, embrace yourself with their music and thank God we had the opportunity to listen to The Smiths
I'm so happy they'll never re-unite.
jumping on a bandwagon for a paycheque would never be their thing. It was art.
It was perfect for its time and could never be again.
one of the few true miracles of my life, really
They cant go back to the old house mozzer the Smith's ☺
"And you never knew , how much i really liked you .. because i never even told you, oh and i meant to."
edit: everyone who liked my comment has an amazing taste in music and deserves all happiness in life
Yup
나비 : it’s haunting.
it sounds so stupid when read fast
@ÖC i know right?
I love that line
RIP to Andy Rourke. Man with some of the grooviest basslines in all of English Rock. We’re all going to miss you 💔
😢😢😢
Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce have not had their value recognized.
@@WFazolato absolutely. Not a single other bassist who could’ve complimented Johnny Marr like Andy Rourke and vice versa. The result of growing up together as best friends. Mike Joyce’s drum lines are incredibly tight knit.
This particular bassline was actually written by Marr.
Amen, may he rest in peace. ❤
man i fumbled the bag so hard. now all i do is listen to this song on repeat
real. here for the same reason
real
Real
real
Real except I’ve never even had the bag
"Are you still there or have you moved away?"
:(
It's a devastating lyric, and feeling.
😔
This is one of their best songs.
This is their best song
This is on of THE best songs
I’ve been doing terrible mentally and this song is one of the only things keeping me going. I love it a lot.
I feel u same here man hang in there don’t lose hope
same hope you get better
Same here, the smiths saved my life multiple times, I hope you feel better soon
Still hanging in there Kyoko? I should have told you a long time ago how much I really liked you, and still do. Check in once in a while, alright?
this was me last year, i listend to it when times were tough. i look back now and i can listen to it without the harsh reminder of my darkest days. you’ll be fine, just keep on going
This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, with the most relatable lyrics.
Real
God, i missed the smiths so much
welcome home
They’re will be intemporel...!
🙏
Were a true light in the darkness of the schizophrenic '80s'.
I also greatly miss them, God. Horrible love was so really strong, however misplaced to stumble down to here- now. Only a hint left when I daydream. It was so good.Ouch🌹🦎🥀 Erin.
I'm curious to know the age of listeners.... well I'm 46.........??
Whatever anyone may think of Morrissey now, good or bad, whatever anybody think about how The Smiths split up, or why, we should still celebrate that they existed at all, and created some of the most unique, incredible music ever created. They were heavily influenced, and even more heavily influential, but never, ever replicated. No band ever even came close to this sound.
No band came/comes close to the incredible talent and technical expertise of the individual members, and the quality obtained when individual brilliance is correctly harnessed in mutual synergy.
Morrissey is an asshole to his band mates. You must have missed out on that opportunity. Playing music in a band that's real takes a mental toll on you and different opinions make people.envious. just saying.
@@kane00000 I really don't know what point you are making here, Kane, or if it is addressed to me. I don't think Morrissey was 'an asshole' to his bandmates at the time, actually, but yes, I missed out on the opportunity of being in a band with Morrissey, that is sadly true. I don't know if you're suggesting I'm envious, or other people are. I really don't follow what you're 'just saying'.
@@jam-nc8ut bands create conflict through creative differences. Morrissey comes off like a dick imo because he's smart and stressed from past, being gay at that time. Trauma. So he basically had a low tolerance for bulkshit since he went through so much. He probably was really fyckung cool to his mates but might of come off like a dick when he was just like.. fuck this shit. Just my assumption. I've never read any books by him but I love his music
cringe
I grew up in a family of 9,
5 brothers, 1 sister, my parents and myself.
The house got foreclosed when I was 17 and we had to move away.
We struggled for a long time and got evicted out of multiple places.
That old house we grew up in is still there and it’s FULL of good and bad memories.
I do want to go back to the old house someday..
real. i miss my old house, i miss my childhood friends, neighbors, i miss those places... i want to go there someday
1:29 that "oh and i meant to" really hits
One of the best songs absolute nostalgia
I read that as "about nostalgia" at first.
@@rjjcms1why
I am sooo obsessed with Johnny Marr and his guitar playing. Just listen to that shit it gives you chills jesus christ.
I am going to regret so many things I'm doing, especially not doing, when I get older. I'll feel nostalgic, but not in a way I want all of this to happen again. In a way I'll feel loss, and grief, and I'll mourn for younger me's dreams that were wasted. I know all this but still do nothing different. I know I will stay the same, old me no matter how many small things about me change, it'll always be bitter
This is exactly how i feel
Ur not alone
same bruh
c'mon man, don't give up on yourself
Has anything changed? I worry for younger me
It's so nice to have a song that those of who don't look back fondly on our childhoods or teenage years or have mixed feelings on it can relate to. Most songs about childhood or youth look at it nostalgically, but it is not a romantic, wonderful time for everyone
When you cycled by here began all my dreams
I always thought it said : "When you cycled by in the beginning of all my dreams"
The line is so childish, like a love for your football club or the playground you grew up on, irreplaceable and pure, untainted. And gives some happy, fulfilled feeling spreading from my core.
@@TrenerJanBR when you cycled by, it began all my dreams
@Juan Perez 🤷 who cares?
I'm back at the old house..feels bad man.
screaming and sobbing
same
yeah
The house is a metaphor. It represents someone you felt comfortable with. Someone you loved. But you can’t go back to them, never will. Gotta move on.
Dear random person,you have very good taste🫶🏻
Same too you, may god bless you in this journey we call life ❤️🙌🏾
every smith lover has ty
This song is perfect for when you fall in love with someone who you think will never love you back, and then later you've moved on and have someone else, only to realise they were in love with you too :((
U mean, the first one secretly loved u too? Must be... Really sad.
@@mariajaine5430 I was best man at my friends wedding and I had finally gotten over the fact that I didn't just have a crush on him, I had loved him since kindergarten. We all got drunk and I confessed to him that I loved him all through school, he starting crying and told me he wanted to meet my boyfriend but also that he was also in love with me, we were both just too scared to say it because of all the homophobia :/
@@maxxie5500 Oh... I didn't know it was that type of history. Anyway, I don't know what I would do in that situation, I don't know... But, I would feel happy cause it has reciprocity
@@mariajaine5430 Yeah,it's such a great song for all unrequited love😭
This song makes me think of a relationship I was in years ago. The “old house” is the girl that I loved.
Me too - and the times when it was real, and how it will never come back. (for me this was 1988) - typing to you March 2022!
Yes, this song isn’t just referring to “an old house” but a time, place, moment. So deep & beautiful!

I listen to this song a lot because it reminds me of my best friend. I can never tell them out loud how important they are to me., but I love them so much. Just the thought of them can make my day. I want to spend the rest of my days with them, they are so wonderful.
The Smiths, my favorite band from the 80's and even today..🤗💓
Are you alive?
@@m7065 *A think so, for now..😂*
My favorite band from the 80s is now dead.
its like lightning in a bottle
Nostalgia about childhood years.Everyone missed the old house.Smiths forever...
i grew up with the smiths, the cure, new order, interpol, and more. whenever i hear them now i think of my dad and the late night drives we take :))
thats so adorable.
No one cares.
@@clvrswine you do bc you replied.
@@clvrswine you mad ahhh 😮😮😮
ClvrSwine is there a reason why swine is in your name? Be kind
This song brings back so many memories , one of those memories is when I would constantly deny my love for someone because I was too scared to fall in love again , a part of me wanted to believe that “love” was just a fantasy.. but part of me knew that “love” was real. I remember I would be so scared to tell people that I’m in love , but now I can finally say it with confidence..
God, you described exactly how I used to feel. I still get that “fear” sometimes. But it's nice to see that someone else once felt the same way and got over it, it keeps me going, thinking that one day I will too
Funny how easily we can say it after they aren't around to hear it
Except last part everything is same... Still on that low confidence
imagine if they still made music today
Marr and Morrissey still produce.
@@milkpants but not together 😢
They do, you just gotta look for it.
@@carlgillespie5161 proof?
Morrissey’s a fascist now so 🤧😔
This song is just beautiful! Marrvellous!
How great this song is, the feeling and the crying never ends. I want to go back to the old house
there's too many bad memories, too many memories
yeah
One of the best songs ever in my opinion
My favourite song by my favourite band
My parents both recently died and we had to sell the old house. My autistic brother plays this over & over & it makes me so sad for him.
I dedicated this song to my pets that passed away, always gonna miss them.
Anywhere they are now i hope they're okay.
To the ones that i love: Xena, Salem, Fifito, Ruella... Thanks for eveerything.
haunting beauty
poser lmao edgy boi
I' m 50, this song describes my life. Sad really. Love hurts, always. I gave my heart and i got so little in exchange ,, so many memories...
i liked this girl that worked for my mom at her shop. i would see her in the weekends and everytime i’d go we would talk for a while and laugh together, we got along really well. she was one of the most beautiful girls i seen. i could tell she really liked me too. she eventually got another job. never saw her again and didn’t get her number or anything. never told her how much i really liked her. this song kills me
That is so sweet. Love is such a complicated thing when it doesn't have to be which is so draining...❤
How can anybody dislike this????
maybe bc of morrissey lmao
*i'll never forget the first time i heard this song.*
my favourite the smiths song ever it’s so beautifully written
"I would love to go back to the old house, but i never will... i never will, i never will..." i wish i could😓
Beautiful words,and music.You can't go home again.
Man I love this song.
this song makes me cry and smile at the same time...
bro same.
wow this song is a piece of art... that bass goes crazy
RIP Andy Rourke (January 17, 1964 - May 19, 2023), aged 59
You will be remembered as a legend.

This song reminds me of this man who lives on my road across from me. Since i moved here he had a little caramel and white dog id always see him take outside or sit on his porch with. I only spoke to him a few times but i could always tell he was a sweet man. A few months ago his dog passed and i don't really see him go outside anymore, but i do see him sit in his doorway still, without his little dog watching the rain and the sun. breaks my heart.
this is heartbreaking :(
I would love to go, back to the old house. But I never will. I never will. I never will.
I can't believe I've been in this world for 15 years and just recently discovered this masterpiece:(
swinging in 80;s times through this song
i miss my old house .
Oh gosh this song it's too accurate for me, I love it and it makes me sad OMG 🖤😢
I miss my old life sm
This song hits so hard man. I loved her so much and it was so painful to do it. When we'd talk for hours late into the night everyday even on school nights it was so amazing. She was perfect. She felt like the female version of me. I told her everything and she told me everything, we had inside jokes, she would make me laugh so hard my pillow would be soaked wet from tears. And all that seemingly lost overnight it felt. Suddenly our conversations got drier, she started getting mad at me for small things or things I didn't even do. She started talking shit about me and telling people my secrets. But this was the last straw. She and her friend have been telling me that my best friend was fake and openly saying how much he disliked me and was only friends with me because he felt bad. This stung because I'm so close with him. I tried ignoring him throughout the day but I just couldn't. I texted him about it and he told me they've been telling him the same thing. She's trying to split me and my friends up. I don't know what i did to be hated this much where she's trying to ruin my life. Is she bored? Did I do something? Last night she texted me and apologized saying that she's been upset lately as has been getting mad at everyone especially me. This shocked me because A: She never apologizes ever B: It came right after a long conversation with my sister about how i should just let her go and she texts me that right after. We talked a bit and called for a couple hours like we did before. It felt like old times but I knew it was wrong in the back of my mind. I've tried so hard to fall out of love with her. Words can't ever emphasize how hard I tried to stop thinking about how funny she is, how beautiful her eyes are, the way we'd talk, the way her accent comes out when she gets mad, how hard she would laugh at my jokes and after almost dying follow up with "shut up, you're not even funny" while still laughing, how she'd compliment me, not on purpose, she just said what was on her mind, how she'd listen to me rant about baseball and at least try to understand it, I could go on and on about all the little things I loved about her. Everyone's telling me I need to let her go but I don't think I ever will. I don't think I'll ever be as close with anybody again as I was with her. I really wonder if she knew how much I really liked her. I doubt it.
Damn, that was crazy and really sad. You should become a musician just to write a song about it. Words cannot explain the feelings I felt while reading your comment
I hope you feel better soon. I don't have anything meaningful to add, but I feel you, man.
Today is my 18th birthday and I'm looking back on all the things I will be leaving behind soon, and all the things I will have missed out on..
Happy birthday ✨ I know It's kinda weird turn 18
That hit me holy fuck, i truly hope all is well brother
Are you still with us?
I’m 19, going to be 20 in January. I’m still a kid, just fresh into college and no clue what’s ahead. I’ve stopped thinking of things like marriage, I’m just living and seeing where the road takes me.
Man both this one and the acoustic version are incredible.
This song always makes me cry.
I really miss my childhood but never want to go back..so much bad memories are mixed with nostalgia.
Beautiful
oh.. I miss him so much, I wish I could tell him one more time that I love him so much and that I will never forget him, our incredible moments. Now we follow different paths, I lost my big love because of a wrong decision and now he doesn't want to come back... I just wanted to tell him one more time how much I am in love with him, I could say that again.
It's 3 am and I'm lost mentally
You good
It’s 4 am on a Saturday morning and I’m ab to clock in…
2020-2021 back to the old house
Just wow.
RIP Andy Rourke
no one will ever know. to talk but never be heard. to be seen but never sought.
Just listening to this when sad hits me different
Such a beautiful song; I never really listened much to the Smith and Morrisey; actually only know the radio plays of them, but this song shows how great they were; I mean, listen to the guitar and how Morrisey curved around his poetry, and this great melody supported by a groovy bassline and just the right rhythm. Brilliant!
I MISS them
Essa música tem vários SENTIMENTOS que me identifico
I love this song so much
true story, relatable. "I never even told you, oh and I meant to"...
the most replayed part of the song is " and you never knew how much i really liked you cause i never even told you" im hoping everyone reading this cuts themselves some slack, you deserve it❤
No matter how hard I try I always lose myself while pleasing others.
Whenever I hear this song it makes me cry and wish I was never forced to move out of the only true home I ever had.
MY GOD......JOHNNY MARR ON 12-STRING GUITAR.....SIMPLY HEAVENLY......
I would’ve never thought i could relate to this song.. i’m from Artsakh and about 2 months ago me and 120k of my compatriots became refugees. I miss Artsakh so much i hope i can go back to my house.
and you never knew, how much I really liked you. cus’ I never even told you. oh, and I meant to.
"and you never knew how much i really liked you"
I miss the old house so much it doesn't even know, it hurts
*i* need you, mike. and *i* always will.
:(
Existentially tired?
U okay now?
when my childhood best friend passed, i didn’t find out till a week later. when i got the call, i was listening to the smiths radio. after i hung up, this song played.
May his soul rest
I love the smiths so smiths
A very striking song for me. Relatable and nostalgic. Thank you.
Just cried. Nice
shivers down the spine, frolicking like leaves in fall.
but leave my fall, discard it and let me grow in solitude.
o my lord what a beautiful song😌
