Good cover. Back in 2002, I was in college here in Ohio. I once grabbed an acousting guitar and sang The Smiths', "Half a person" to a college buddy: He looked at me like saying, "You are really weird!"
We all owe a debt of gratitude to the UK the quantity and quality of their bands and music will never be matched,how can a small island could produce so many amazing bands that started new genres is beyond me,I would be lost without English music. And you obviously have that greatness too. Cheers from Portugal.
My fav Smiths song! Thnx Adam, watching you play and sing has inspired me over the past year and im now playing/singing. Its the best feeling after working hard all day and just picking up my guitar! Thank you
Lyrics: Call me morbid, call me pale I've spent six years on your trail Six long years on your trail Call me morbid, call me pale I've spent six years on your trail Six full years of my life on your trail And if you have five seconds to spare Then I'll tell you the story of my life Sixteen, clumsy and shy I went to London and I I booked myself in at the Y.W.C.A. I said I like it here, can I stay? I like it here, can I stay? Do you have a vacancy for a back-scrubber? She was left behind, and sour And she wrote to me equally dour She said in the days when you were hopelessly poor I just liked you more And if you have five seconds to spare Then I'll tell you the story of my life Sixteen, clumsy and shy I went to London and I I booked myself in at the Y.W.C.A. I said I like it here, can I stay? I like it here, can I stay? And do you have a vacancy for a back-scrubber? Call me morbid, call me pale I've spent too long on your trail Far too long chasing your tail, oh And if you have five seconds to spare Then I'll tell you the story of my life Sixteen, clumsy and shy That's the story of my life Sixteen, clumsy and shy The story of my life That's the story of my life That's the story of my life That's the story of my life The story of my life That's the story of my life That's the story of my life That's the story of my life That's the story of my life That's the story of my life
Hello from another person working through your back catalogue! Simply the best Smiths covers I’ve ever heard, and this is up there amongst my favourites. An under-loved but beautiful song, performed exquisitely.
You're so good it's criminal. My mum's a fan now. The Beach Boys God Only Knows video popped up on my playlist when I was cleaning and she was like "Who's that?! I know the song but it's obviously a cover" so I showed her your shit and now she's like "that Adam guy is the dog's bollocks ain't he I've nearly watched them all" haha 😅
Hey Adam. I always listen to your versions of the Smiths, but this is the first time I write. This song was so important for me when I was a teenager. Never stop to be awesome. Thank you so much for your work.
Amazing Adam. Fuckin' great! All of yours Smiths covers are really awesome. My favorite band of all time. Thanx 4 this one in particular. Half a person. TY. Cheers!
Thanks a lot Adam! One of the most underrated The Smiths songs. It gives me a lot of warm personal memories..great performance. All the best wishes to you an your relatives. Please keep going ❤
There are a lot of songs out there (like this one) that I never heard of before your covers, but ended up absolutely loving. I became a big The Cure fan after listening to your covers. I'm starting to like The Smiths now too.
Hi Adam, I absolutely love your work man! You have such a good taste in music and your voice is incredible! You are by far one of my favourite cover artist. Keep up the great work 👍👍
