Alain Whyte - Seasick, Yet Still Docked 

"My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye, you must be such a fool to pass me by". Love that line.

Certainly one of the most beautiful songs ever written and I'd fight tooth and nail defending that claim.

My favorite era of the band was when Alain played with Morrissey. I was so surprised and happy to see Alain play with Morrissey this September in Las Vegas. The band sounded noticeably better with Alain playing . Hope Alain does future gigs.

Gorgeous in every way. This is the poetic Morrissey I wish we had again. I hope he comes to his senses and ditches his current band.

You don't even understand how much i love this song ❤️

The whole "Your Arsenal" album was one of my main companies when I moved to Europe in the winter of 1994. This very song was one of the most melancholic ones - which was a blessing but also a curse for a fresh emigree back then 🤣 Anyway, beautiful rendition!

6 out of 5 stars! I used to live in L.A. during these times (90-95). Morrissey was king! Absolutely unstoppable. Why? His writing was untouchable in addition to he's beautiful band that he had. Not only talented, but I think had an image that Morrissey was in love with, which was handsome and talented. Perfect match. For those that know just knew this is being the truth of solo Morrissey. When it is good, it was good. As a 48 year young Spanish male after getting my hair cut I look into the barber's mirror hoping that I look similar to these years. I very rarely walk away satisfied, but that image is very strong and I come back the following month for another try... Alain - cheers and thank you for remembering. The many of us have not forgotten and have no plans to do so.....

We still miss you Alain!... Best Moz era!... I still feel part of Moz Militia from these years!... Marching and singing Your Arsenal in my walkman!... What times!... I was in that historic concert in Santiago for Oye Esteban Tour!...Huges from Chile!...

There is no word to discribe It! Perfect is not enough.

Whether it be one of the members. The Smiths, Morrissey, Alan Whyte. They have all had such an affect on my life.

I wish you and the guys where with Morrissey again. You and Bob where amazing. All of you make it magical together.

Good song Alain. I remember the first time I heard it. I thought “man that’s gotta be the best song I’ve ever heard” I had let the entire Your Arsenal album play. I bought it back in 1995 and the whole album was good. Out of all guitarist I rank YOU on top my friend.

The guitar sounds beautiful... Alain uploads a video, best part of the day.

Extraordinary song, Alain.

Hard to believe it was almost 30 years ago that my now ex-husband introduced me to The Smiths / Morrissey... I am so ever grateful to have had these melodies, lyrics, walk with me through some really difficult times in my life. They've brought me such joy and comfort. I also remember holding my daughter who was an infant then, slowly dancing her to sleep to these slower melancholic ones. Such sweet memories! They can bring me right back to the 90's like a time machine and I get lost in my head when I play them. Hard to believe we're all so much older now....But I should get to the point... thank you Alain... your songs have been soothing to my soul and I never forget a lyric it seems, even a song I haven't heard in years. Seeing Morrissey in Las Vegas last week brought up feelings that have been paired with certain songs for ages and stirred such happiness in my soul. I miss the old songs like this one... I could sit at your feet for days just to listen to this one over and over. Really beautiful... Thank you for sharing your talent with us all... such a gift! Misty~

That was unbelievable, especially playing out at the end, what a player

My open mic night compatriots will resent me forever thanks to you, sir. Thank you.

One of my favouites. The last line is so brilliantly self-deprecating: "my love is as sharp as a needle in your eye, you must be such a fool to pass me by".

Alain whyte u are a genius my friend, top top asset to morrissey

this is ridiculous. i am just now learning that all my favorite Morrissey songs are Alain Whyte songs (We'll let you know, why dont you find out for yourself, hold on to your friends, this one.. need to do my research! Thanks Alain - going to find out what else you get your fingers in now...

wooww...keep this music alive please...

Another favorite

Had to come back and listen to all these songs after hearing the great news with you and the lads! You guys better come tour in America!! 💕

This is the song that changed my life.

Thank you Alain! Such great memories in listening. I would love to hear, “We’ll let you know”

Simply heart melting

So Magnificent!!!

Mr Whyte, respect from Colombia. Thanks for your music.

I love that woody, sweet articulation of Gibson acoustics! And what a perfect song to play on one.

One of my best…

Saw Moz for the first time since the 90s last autumn and I couldn't help but think how much you were missing Alain. So glad I found your channel here.

Bloomin eck, that is good. I didnt know Alain played this, still discovering the back catalogues, this song, somehow made it thru, didnt know what to do but to repeat, and so it creeped right in. Its beautiful guitar work, impressive, most most impressive, and it Burys itself deep into your feelings

Thank you Alain

It made me cry... What else could I say?

Alain, what a gift you have! Thank you for all the wonderful melodies you've given us over the years. Would you grace us with renditions of The Lazy Sunbathers and Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself?

So beautiful. I sing this song all the time when I'm pottering around the house.

Can't stress this is not only the BEST Morrissey song involving Morrissey, it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and I've heard 29 million and 3 to date, wonderful.

I miss all the old band especially you Alaine, I've met you a few times now and you are just a doll of a person. even when I asked you about what happened at Kaos records, you just didn't say anything disparaging about Moz. Stay charming and as handsome as the first time I saw you in Morrisseys band, an old fan who will always be. Cheers and Tuetur Principem

Thank you RU-vid algorithm. This is stunning

Very good version. I saw Morrissey sing this at the 'quarantine' concert at the SSE in March and must say when he sang this song you could hear a pin drop in that Arena, the emotion was amazing! Great version from you as well.

Gorgeously beautiful

Your the man.

Just … Beautiful

Music can be beautiful, and sometimes it can transcend beauty. This is nectar. Thanks for playing, and inspiring.

You are gorgeous...so handsome❤! Your voice sounds better than Moz... Your music takes me back to when I was a teenager...a romantic heart... Thank you for taking me back... Love you ❤! ♪This charming man... ♪

Beautiful, really. Thanks.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful, thank you!

THIs is my favourite song and you did a fantastic job , Alain. I agree, when you were with Morrissey, it was magic.

I love love love this. Have been re-watching daily, lately. Relaxes every nerve in my body...

I keep coming back for this. Absolutely breath-taking.

Esta canción es bellísima . La intro arpegiada es muy soñadora . La melodía de voz es tan triste con esa cualidad de belleza y melancolía . Gracias maestro Whyte

@alain White felicitaciones por las últimas canciones subidas , saludos desde chile 🇨🇱

Alain, this and "used to be a sweet boy" are hypnotic, calming beautiful songs, really great to hear it👍 would love to listen to used to be a sweet boy if you fancied doing it, all the best👍

Thank you Alain Whyte for giving us a close and personal Safe At Hone guitar music sessions. For us hardcore guitar fans, it is a gift we only get once in a lifetime. Seasick, Yet StilL Docked is a perfect arrangement from start to finish. It reminds me of the genius guitar arrangement you made for Let Me Kiss You. Thank you.

I saw this in Atlanta, Georgia in 1991 or 1992, I can't remember. Your Arsenal Tour. Tomorrow was a great track on that album.

Hello Alain. I do not know if its true or if I am speaking out of bounds. I just heard that you are writing with Morrissey again and possibly doing some live shows? Such great news. I cannot wait to hear any new material and see a few of the live shows. Way to go Alain~ Rob/Boston

One of my favourite songs I love mozz of course but, without this deeply heartfelt and wonderfully beautiful guitar what would this song be? Thank you over and over Alain ❤️

Love it love it love it love it

A friend bought Your Arsenal and Seasick was always a song I kept to myself... Perfect, in every way possible. Sad, deep, real... I didn't want to hear with anyone else, just myself. It's the I know It's Over of his solo career. Thank you for this.

Nice job Alain 👍

Beautiful! Man. I was at the Hollywood bowl for the, Your Arsenal your as a pre teen. This was spot on.

*crying* 😢 thanks for ur great melody..

Absolutely fantastic.

Una d las obras maestras q mas me dispara al infinito. Super bien... Se agradece.

Sublime, thank you Alain

Amazing

Absolutely haunting. One of my all-time favorites.

Glorious ...

A true masterpiece, Mr. Whyte, in my opinion, you and Morrissey are just as great a songwriting duo, as Morrissey and Marr were with the Smiths. Thank you for all the great songs.

Another jewell. Thanks!

thanks and thanks again !

One of the few melodies that made me cry with what inexplicably was a sense of happiness. Pure melancholy. I can never thank you enough for this, Alain :)

Outfuknstanding. What a voice

Ahhh man, this must be one of my all time favorites. Just love your guitar style.... Thanks for all the memories and for keeping music real!

Today I needed this song... so, I came to console myself. Thanks Alain.

Saludos desde CHILE. Tu legado en las canciones de Morrissey perdurara eternamente!!!

This song is very special to me. I love this melancholy melody. I’m trying to learn how to play it and this video is pure gold! Thank you for this acoustic version and for all your amazing songs! Regards from Spain!

Absolutely beautiful. One of your very best.

I requested this the other day! Thank you so much Alain!!!! It means a lot to me!!

Thanks Alain, You are so talented. Beautiful and lovely music ❤️

Not sure how I missed this 7 months ago. Love this! I would love to hear this live when things get back to normal.😎😎😎😎

Amazing in all ways

Alain! Greetings from 20 years ago when you were with, Blossom from San Fran. I was Lindsay's (her high school mate) boyfriend back in LA and we all chilled a few times. You're still looking & sounding great! Still remember that 1st gen orange iMac you had! Hope you've upgraded since then & honestly hope you're well! Great to find you again and see that you're still TCB'ing!

Without a doubt Moz’s best song writing partner. There are a couple of other very honorary mentions but you are the best!!

All that I can say say wow!!!

beautiful song

I absolutely adore this song! ❤

Tears in my eyes.....

So good. Just brilliant. Thank you Alain

I have a sweet spot for you Mr.Whyte and Mr.J.Marr in heart. I have spent years only loving Morrissey and you two have made the music for songs that has been in my head and heart for years. Thank you for national front disco and this seasick yet.... And you sing it so amazing who needs Morrissey who?!? Hahahaha I kid words of the day laborious and glorious! You're a doll Mr. Whyte! I will always Love you ♥️from So. Central Los Angeles -mp

Absolutely beautiful version of this majestic song. Perfectly played and sung Alain.
