Morrissey-ASLEEP[The Smiths]-May 10, 2014-LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles CA-Louder Than Bombs MOZ-Live 

@Rosie Stevens thanks for your input.

Well it is good to feel the audience love for the artist- Come on ! You are just being a party pooper! Mozza seems to be OK with it anyway- Go to Deezer instead!

​@@teresawalters6358 I've been to many hundreds of gigs over the last three decades, and in general, I love it when the audience is involved and invested in the artist. I saw Morrissey live numerous times in the 90's and 00's and the audiences tended to be gloriously wild, but what doesn't work is whooping and screaming when the man is performing a song as emotionally charged and fragile as Asleep, one which needs to be heard and felt, not drowned out by inane noise. It's like throwing a blanket over a great piece of art when other people are trying to take it in. You must host quite the party, by the way, if they consist of whooping along to suicide songs.

@@jam-nc8ut same thing happened to Elliott Smith after he got famous. God and Radiohead. Can’t tell you how many times Exit Music, or How To Disappear, or Videotape was ruined by idiots wooing and singing along - usually a little out of key and out of time. Pre - fame thom would’ve stopped and had words. I saw him do it twice actually - once during “street spirit” on the bends tour and once during “no surprises” on the OKC tour. Elliott Smith didn’t seem to mind but Jesus Christ.

Exactly.

American's ruin EVERYTHING

Maybe that's why they only played it once as The Smiths

Patrick Chole they also ruined please please please here. This crowd was the worst

I interpret the song as someone who is dying, giving up, and saying goodbye.

Only the sound of tears in London

Sometimes I think Morrissey's physiognomy on stage reflects this immense disrespect from the audience. Scream like a maniac during "Asleep" is like laugh towards Mozart's Lacrimosa. But anyway ... People are the same everywhere.

I know. It's a fucking clueless crowd.

He get more 'respect' in Manchester.

Americans...

ikr ffs you dont scream «WOOO HOO» to a song like this for every sentence

+Jack Lingered It’s safe to assume you can read ;)?

there is nothing more hilariously ignorant than lambasting a nationality based on one event.

J Babz there are an almost infinite amount of things which makes America terrible. but also a huge list of things that make it awesome (Most are good music)

Jack Lingard read my top comment please 🤐

Greatest lyricist?

Aye, well he will be dead soon then hell get his lifelong wish boo-hoo so sad what's the point anyway? Just a self indulgent wanker with a quiff ten-a-penny these days

Bless you and your father. All the best.

🐈💜🌻

God bless you and your father. 💜

You're a woman, what the fuck do you have to be depressed or cry about?

@@chuy8356 What the fuck is your problem??? Don´t you know that women can have a Depression, oh you´re so fucking wrong and arrogant! Show some respect here thanks! I have been in a very deep depression in more than five years now and I live a nightmare. So don´t waste your hate & energy to write that comment over and over again! You have made it very clear that you don´t know nothing about woman! I guess you´re a very bitter man and that women don´t like you and well, I can understand why!

Lydia Russell Yep. Me too. I first heard this song in 1988 and still wrecks me to this very day.

@@chuy8356 imagine being this miserable

Fact

Definitely

+safia bella "Don't feel bad for me... I want you to know deep in the cell of my heart, i will feel so glad to go..."

+Michelle Soriano oh come on. Really? Trying to make me cry again?

Morrisey does actually deal with depression, he may have had personal connections to this song. He stated in his most recent interview that he does not take medicine for itneithwr because "it is a state of mind and cannot be changed"

It was difficult. I was there with my wife, who has since passed away. This song describes how I feel in so many ways.

@@stevencalzada1926 I feel for you Steven and wish you all the very best.

Yeah, for sure. He seems so much more joyous now though!

get over yourself. He's into the song in a certain way as the performer and the crowd are into it in a different way as the audience.

@@Smoomty bro why are you replying to a five year old comment also i dont like him now lmao

@@SmoomtyIf you’re wooing this song, you don’t get it. It’s quite simple. It’s like wooing a psalm at a funeral.

Sharon Miller Vida longa a MOZ!!!

+Anthony Ennis HE HAS CANCER? FUCK THAT SHIT

OMG..he has cancer???

@@gregh7042yes he said it in an interview and ontop of that he deals with depression :(

This isn't really about suicide. It's not really about anything, it just sounds sad. Also, if you want a perfect version then listen to a fucking studio version.

@@somekidwithacomputer2939 ....it's about dying because you've run your course on this world. Not necessarily suicide !

@@rael1999 again, I don't think it's about anything. It just sounds sad

@@somekidwithacomputer2939 ....I'm not sure people sit down and write lyrics about nothing. They obviously meant something to Morrissey when he wrote them. The beauty of good lyrics though is they mean different things to different people. To you it's just a sad song but to me it reminded me of my Gran who died a year before the album was released. She'd lived her life and had been house bound for quite a while and been without my Grandad for 18 years. In her latter years she told me she was ready to go. In my early twenties I found it difficult to comprehend that feeling, it felt alien to me and so sad. Perhaps I'll never fully understand it because in my 60's now I still love life so much, but as I've got older I understand her words more. The song's lyrics capture how she felt I guess, or how I perceived her thoughts looking back.

@@rael1999 I'm pretty sure people do just sit around and write lyrics about nothing. Have you heard pop music before? But yeah you're right.

He looks fine 😜 what r u talking about

He had cancer at the time didn't he?

*Do

@Dan Leak I ve been to America, bloody awful place. Plastic rainforests, I mean, really? Best thing was the airplane trip home. Free all expenses trip, gifted to see my father out there, who had been given the job at Corus to bail them out of the shit because American employees were too inept to do it. And go ahead comment a tirade back... I won't read it anyway since I always turn comment replies off and never revisit threads. "Have a nice daaay"

@Dan Leak what??? I haven't block no one at all....guess you miss your target

@Dan Leak never laugh for someone who speak or write broken english....it means that he speaks at least two lenguages, isnt he?

@@jordanmorrison4117 sorry not english native speaker.....so i know english, spanish, italian and portuguese...., what about you, mate?

JoeStunner that's a very bold statement

Boy with the thorn in his side and this where on the same cassette? wow. my two favourite songs

I realized that too. Just very somber for me.

I just love him

hope you made it through the tough times :)

y aún así se comportaron como imbéciles. Tenían a un icono de la música contemporánea enfermo de cáncer cantando sobre el suicidio, podrían haber mostrado algo de respeto...

@@sinta_bique son estadounidenses...

Do You Wanna Dance? 😂😂😂👍

Gilmar Trevisanuto MOZ live!!!
