How to write a Smiths song in 1 minute 

Favourite Smiths song, go! And check my Surf-Goth EP out, it's kinda Smiths meets Joy Division in Eastern Europe. On Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple etc. Cheers!

"I hate this job but at least I get to see your face" I felt that 😔

This sounds like an actual Smiths song. Not even a parody, just a normal song.

Dude was already done at 0:05 but kept adding more and more smiths

0:29 let's be real, this already sounds like a great track - Morrissey's voice is unique and lovely.

That might be Morrissey's longest performance. He actually showed up!

"I hate this job but at least I get to see your face" i mean you did actually nailed the morrisey style

RIP Andy Rourke. His cool basslines were essential.

As a huge Smiths fan, i have to say you absolutely nailed it! Gotta listen to the full version on repeat if there's one.

Dude that tune slaps, we need a full version

I couldn't write a song but now I wrote a song and heaven knows I'm more musical now thanks Des.

Please do a full version. That was so cool

Please please please make a full version of this, it's brilliant!

I miss something like: “and I want to die”.

Amazing. I am a HUGE Smiths fan and I can tell this was created with love rather than being nasty. Its amazing how simple some of the best music is. Desmond Doom, I salute you! Long live the Smiths!

I'm literally begging you, please do a full version, its too bloody good!

I've been putting this on repeat for the 500th time and if someone told me this was their demo tape I would have believed them! Please finish the song

That riff has ‘Girl Afraid’, ‘Hand in Glove’, and ‘Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others’ vibes all in one 😍

Please make a full album of The Smiths songs, in your own interpretation !!

As a lifelong Smiths fan, this hits really close to home- in a good way!

Really just uploaded a smiths song and thought we wouldn’t notice

A key part of Morrissey’s singing is that he often has a single note that he returns to over and over again. He goes above that note and below it, but he always returns to it. That note is kind of a through line for the entire song. He sounds like he’s noodling around and just singing notes above and below the main one. And once you notice it, you can’t un-hear it. Like this. B is the through line: ➡️ CC C CCC ➡️BBB BBB BB B BBBB ➡️ AA

That is genuinely a really really good guitar riff hahah would love to hear a full version of the song!

It's amazing how the lyrics can be explained from so many points of view. Maybe here they are talking about a guy who really hates his job, but at least he can find moments to be with his love (it's amazing the influence of this piece in Pam-Jim's realtionship in The Office). Also we can imagine that the guy has not any love in his job, and "the face" he sees is the money that he earn. I remember the first time I listened to this song, at Big Bob Pub in Leeds, and it just broke my mind.

Bloody brilliant. You nailed it. That brought a smile to my face.

If i have heard this song on the radio, i would totally believe that it is The Smiths :) Nice job Desmond

Thing is, it's not even a joke, it's accurate.

This isn't even a parody, this is a real smiths song.

Pleaaaase, make a full version, this is awesome!😊

Whoa! Even when you make something "just for fun", you achieve a way better result than many people who make music "for real". Probably they ignore the basics of how a good song should sound and communicate an intention. You make the difference, bro. Never stop bringing us your undeniable talent. You rock! Cheers!

"I hate this job but at least I get to see your face." I miss those days

Keep coming back to this as it’s so good

I like how finally RU-vid shows me interesting vids on the explore page

Absolutely nailed it. I can imagine the lyrics "Wearing the same old clothes You wore when we first met I never liked the colours you wore But it suits you some how" Edit: I'm going to edit these as some of them are a bit crap in hindsight So, imagine the main Jingle or listen along, Morrissey's usual moaning sound to his voice "I recall a time, when things were great, I would smile even when the bus was laaaaate I didn't think that you'd remember me, So I left a bunch flowers at the cemet-ryyyy

This sound isn't just the Smiths but the whole of the C86 genre itself, Sarah Records bands, Cherry Red Records bands, and pretty much the breadth and bulk of 1980s jangle pop.

That would easily qualify to be a Smiths release. Beautiful.

It’s like you completely understand every single band I love!

Magnificent. I've replayed this at least 50 times. You NEED to do a full version.

This is actually good. I want a full version

Is there a full version of this? It's actually catchy, you pretty much nailed the lyricism and sound of The Smiths holy crap

Loving the Squier to Fender upgrade on that bass! Cheapest and most reliable upgrade available.

“I hate this job but at least I get to see your face.” Killed me 😭

this is brilliant all your videos are so accurate!!

This sounds way too accurate, I'm convinced this is a Smiths song I haven't heard yet

"I hate this job but at least I get to see your face", very Morrissey indeed

God, this sounds so good.

FULL ONE NOW THAT WAS AMAZING

*THIS is now my favorite Smiths song!*

This is so good! We need a full version of this.

These lyrics have been stuck in my head since this came out, amazing.

I love these bits.

I thought you really got morrisey to sing on this video, you've done a fantastic job on mimicking his singing

Need an album of this mock smiths stuff !!!

Do a full version of this song, it sounds great

omg I've been streaming your music for sometime now. coming across your videos just now. wow man!

I wasn't happy and wasn't sad, but now I'm in love... can't stop listening to this. Instantly needed to play this on guitar. Pls! Make full song! And thank You!

I came into this not expecting to like it, but I ended up loving it! Great job!

I knew this guy was legit when I saw a genuine Fender bass guitar.

I need a full version of this

That bass line is exactly what I imagined during the few seconds of guitar before it dropped in. Really good work all around

I’m embarrassed by how right you are and how excellent that tune is

This was amazing!

That was amazing! As others have said, I'd love to hear a whole album, or at least a whole song.

Sorry brother but now you need to do the whole song. We demand it.

Nicely done😂! That earned a sub, and I am definitely down with this riff. It’s all about the frantic jangle.

This is spot on- and it’d be at the top of my playlist if it were a Smiths song, too-

this is amazing!

You are literally the first channel ever I turn the bell notification on for, for when you make a full version of this

Ok! Ive been a Smiths fan since 1987 and this is completely spot on! And I'd like the complete version please! LOVE IT!!! 🥰😅😅

And we have to agree: the result is great!

ayo the melody of this is really good

Accurate...I'm as huge a Smiths fan as anyone but you've nailed their style!

Love this Fender Bass...it must be one of these expensive custom shop models...never saw the headstock logo in this design on the stock bases so far...maybe the DD (desmond doom) signature collection bass? 😂😁👍👍

I didn't get to hear the full version, im devastated 💔

OMG release this!!

This is brilliant!

Are you gonna make a full song of this? Can you please? This is just something that need to be made its too perfect to not finish I want the whole mixtape pleasee 🙏🏾

Oh the subtle easter egg in cancelling out the Squier and manually writing Fender 😂😅❤

Outstanding

Please finish this song. This song sounds better than most of the rubbish they play on the radio these days

That guitar riff... Love it 😎

An absolute vibe 💃 I need more

Please make a full version of this! 🫠

This made me so happy

Thank you. The skill and humor is just fascinating. You're mimicry is brilliant and your own music is awesome as well. Spot on musicianship and production. Too damn good, 😅 F Again, thank you

Most incredible is X'ing out 'Squire' and writing in "Fender" in ball point. Well played on a few levels, sir.

This is awesome lolll, I lowkey love that all the smiths songs have similar vibes

Thank you for this much insightful lesson❤❤😊😊

Going to see Morrissey tonight in Brussels. Will be screaming my lungs out for his classic "Charming Place".

please make a full version, this is great

Actually legit keen for a full length version

This is chefs kiss !!

Imagine you are Kermit stuck at a working class job, every day is foggy and you love a girl that does not love you back. Now write a song.

From a HUGE The Smiths fan, this is AWESOME!!! Can you please make a full album just with these kinda songs?! 😂😂😂

OMG this channel is fantastic!! i love all those bands but you make very solid points 😄

And they still sound amazing

Genius. This is my new favourite Smiths song 😂

I am dying! The Smiths got me through college and grad school! I love it so much!

PLEASE make a full version! I am begging you!

I love that Fender Bass Sound!
