the first solo song ive heard from him, really important! just started highschool in 2014 and this was playing on the radio, i was obsessed with it and i came home one day, played it while we were having lunch and my mum just stood up and made an expression like "wait this sounds familiar" and i guess it was the jangly guitar or just the fact that she liked the song that she looked into it and she said "johnny marr!" she was laughing and decided to introduce me to the smiths, with words that this music was her comfort during faculty years and being a lost vulnerable student during the end of 80s. she played me "panic" and morrissey's first of the gang" but i kinda took it in, at that point i guess i was a bit more on the side of "yes okay but i have oasis and dandy warhols" - guess highschool worries were still not happening. morrissey came to belgrade in the autumn of 2014 and i missed it, "that guy from the smiths? how old is he now, i don't wanna listen to some sad words from a 60 years old guy" and i was so wrong. few months later their music, and mostly the smiths...it became much more than sad music, it was warm, human, comforting, even hilarious at times, sounds cheesy but i guess it enriched my very selfish and my "take everyone and everything for granted" highschool being. later on, through the smiths i discovered some of my other favorite music like james and belle and sebastian and jens lekman, and i guess i have to thank mom a lot for that sorry for the long story, bravo johnny! i must admit i still have to give a proper listen to the new album, but i loved the first two singles! this song, forever!
