Genius lyrics! "And in a darkened underpass I thought 'Oh God' my chance has come at last, but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask."
@@timp575 I recommend The The's Mind Bomb and Dusk - he plays some on both (although both those albums are fairly old) ... Billy Bragg's Don't Try This at Home has a couple Marr tracks (he produced Cindy of a Thousand Lives and what a sonic masterpiece that sing is - especially if you're familiar with Bragg's early work). My 18-year-old daughter loves his work with Modest Mouse too
@@timp575 After they had a toxic divorce Johnny Marr worked a lot with the Pet Shop Boys and tried to set up a band with them. Cant remember the name now but I think Mark Almond was involved in nit too. If you want to listen to a 1990 masterpiece intstrumental by Marr's guitar i would suggest you to listen to the song My October's Simphony in the album Behaviour by the Pet Shop Boys. It is one of his last masterpieces together with Chris Lowe and the guitar that sounds in the background is Jonny Marr's part.
I think a lot of Smiths / Morrisey songs were relatable to the right age group. "How soon is now" in particular for me when he sings about going to the club and leaving alone and wanting to die. We all had those nights out! What difference does it make was another great song.
You gotta check out The Cure "Lovesong" now. When you're ready for more from The Smiths, check out "Bigmouth Strikes Again", "What Difference Does It Make", "This Charming Man", "Still Ill", "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" and "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" -- a song that makes time stand still so that two minutes feel like five minutes but in a good way.
I agree wholeheartedly with your Smiths suggestions ... What Difference Does it Make was the song that sold me on the band. Rubber Ring & Well I wonder fantastically illustrate Marr's genius ... Andy Rourke kills it on This Night Has Opened My Eyes. I also loved Marr's work with The The and Billy Bragg!
@@g3g.931 Yep! Andy Rourke kills it on This Night Has Opened My Eyes -- That's why I listed it too! [grin] Marr's work with Talking Heads stands out too.
I personally was never a big fan of that song. Seemed to easy for a brilliant band like the Cure. I love the earlier stuff. "the walk", "lament", "the upstairs room".
@@astroboirap I always feel it's best to separate the artists personal antics from the art they've created. He's an asshole, but boy did he know how to write and sing.
Wow! Great reaction. It's so good to see someone hearing The Smiths for the first time, and this just proves that The Smiths and Morrissey are not "depressing" as people like to label them (or him). This song is uplifting and it shows how Morrissey would deal with those dark and difficult feelings like despair and loneliness with a sense humour and optimism. Thank you to whomever requested this song for a reaction, and please please please do more Smiths and Morrissey. New subscriber from Australia!
So lucky my mum introduced me to The Smiths as a kid - she's been a fan since the 80s and now they're still my favourite band. best song imo is I Know it's Over.
@@Blisteryn doesn't do it for me although I'm biased PUNK ROCK SKA AND REGGAE IS ALL I NEED the smiths to me are like the door's if you weren't feeling depressed before you play their music you will be afterwards
@@heathcornbeef i see your point, but if these were your feelings and you were lietening to the lyrics, maybe you'd be happy to know someone has been able to put the feelings youve been struggling with into words..
@@heathcornbeef no offense intended but if that's the case why did you click on to this video? You might be surprised to know that Morrissey was heavily influenced by punk music
Just been binging your content and it’s amazing man you should really listen to some stuff by ‘I Don’t know how But They Found Me’ definitely recommend choke great song
If you listened to the Smiths back in the 80's and 90's it made people depressed and I loved. There songs got me through a tough time and made me happy man.
I'm not a big Smiths fan, I would go as far as to say that I intensely dislike Morrissey. This song though, has to be one of my all time favourites. Melancholy yet uplifting 💚
Can't lie tho his voice is one of a kind and does hit you. But marrs guitar and the bassline is fire this is coming from a black hip hop head from the uk born in the 88 for context.
Shoot you down, i am the resurrection, standing here are all worthy bangers! Jon Squier on guitar was unbelievably good Try happy mondays' bob's yer uncle
