Johnny Marr (The Smiths) there is a light that... live 4K

Johnny Marr playing the Smiths "There is a light that never goes out" live in Lisbon on festival Super Bock em stock. Full show coming soon...
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh God, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da...
Oh, I haven't got one
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

Glad I got a chance to see him live. Performed several of his own hits and a couple of Smiths songs. Came back on stage with Killers for the encore and performed this song.

I gotta say, at this point, knowing what we know about Mozz and having seen Marr live, I would genuinely almost prefer a Joyce/Rourke/Marr lineup without the bastard. Love those old records, but feel considerably better giving Johnny my money than our lost old friend Steven. He certainly wrote some of my personal favorite lyrics ever, but to answer the OP’s question with another question… Now imagine this beautiful scene ruined by Morrissey using his platform to progress divisive far right rhetoric. Because we all know who he is, what he does, and it’s not likely that my vision of things would be far from the truth.

Marr during the smiths is by far my favorite composer but Morrissey's vocal melodies & lyrics are what made Smiths songs more than just songs. Love them both and dread the day either leave this world.

The vocals are also very important in a song, and they were a perfect match...

[@dfpguitar]

Morrissey is a lifetime dickhead troll, his statements have included racism as well as other intentionally offensive stuff. But I do know what you mean, much of the distinctive idiosyncrasies of the smiths vocal parts are probably only the way they are because of his personality.
