The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me [REACTION] 

Morrissey can pack more emotion into one line than most others manage to do in a whole song, that's why he's brilliant.

Your heart is already broken before the vocals begin

This track is next level.

That long intro grew on me. Now I feel every hesitation and every layered note. And the rest of the song is great, too.

a gut wrenching melancholic melodrama

Favorite Smiths song, and apparently Johnny Marr’s favorite. David Bowie also covered it. By the way, the “Complete” compilation has the edit with the beginning cut out.

This is the best song the Smiths ever wrote without a doubt. Absolutely perfect, the beginning is achingly beautiful as it builds bit by bit -- then as it pauses for a split second the main part of the song kicks in with Morrisseys vocal performance unrivaled by anything else,the piano,keyboards, guitars are perfect. The drums are really impressive as is the bass as always. The song is constantly exploding with the saddest and happiest emotions. Right to be the last single, obviously should have been number 1 , but people are far too impatient to "listen" to a song properly -- as we know most people are idiots . Johnny Marr agrees Last night I Dreamt..is their best song and everyone was at their very best on the song -- all 4 Smiths. BTW it was on Miami Vice at the time in a nightclub!.

One of their best hands down. I know Marr's recounted how moved he was watching Moz record the vocal for it. Have you listened to Prefab Sprout? Their debut single, LIMOGES, is a sheer force of nature.

The first half, the piano part, IS the dream.

Finally Smiths! pls react to The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work

Thanks Marcos!

Do some girl are bigger than others by the smiths next.. unless u already have??

One thing I love about The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order, is that each of their songs is complete within itself. The instruments, lyrics and mood - they made/make art.

If I'm correct, both Morrissey and Marr hav said this album is their favourite of the Smiths, and this is Johnny's favourite song. He also played this live with Alex Turner and Miles Kane of the Last Shadow Puppets. A really good homage and performance.

Marr consider this his musical masterpiece, as do I.

The distorted voices at the beginning are from the mass pickets and demos during the bitter UK miners strike. I think the so called "Battle of Orgreave" in particular.

Brutally melancholic, the way Marr’s guitar cuts in!

Great review! When it comes to The Smiths or Morrissey, you make great analysis and observations. I love watching your videos.

This takes me back to my first year at university, in halls …

Just watched a few smiths reactions you’ve done Best I’ve seen on RU-vid I was 14 when I found the smiths that was over 35 years ago enjoying you videos

Amazing song

Morrissey composed these songs with every cell of his soul he's one of the great modern composers

One of my favourites of theirs, one of many 🙌🏻

Jonnie “Fucking” Marr is a sir name that could only be Appointed to a legend. He is a perfect pairing with Morrissey.

Hello, could you please react to "Fool" by Archive? Thanks in advance!

Another great review,could possibly review Morrissey's Bobby don't you think you know from last year one hell of a toe tapper

This story is old I know. But it goes on.....

The version for the single release cut out the instrumental start. I think they felt it would turn off listeners on the radio. Tip to react to is Renaissance’ song ‘Northern Lights’
