heaven knows i'm miserable now - the smiths (cover) by alicia widar

[@kiaora12]

Your voice is very well suited to cover Morrissey, which isn’t very common.

[@valentinamorin8736]

i completely agree

FACTS

[@Sometimes_Always]

I love this song more now than I did 30+ years ago.. There's something comforting about seeing a newer generation finding and liking the same music.. The Smiths really were an amazing group of musicians.

[@iloveToonLink101]

This was one of my best friends favorite songs. She passed away in October, but hearing your cover gives me a nostalgic feeling of us driving around and listening to this song together. Thank you so much for this ❤️

I always hear people talk about how Morrissey is so sad and somber, but I always found him to be ridiculously funny. That sort of gloomy humor is really hard to pull off and Morrissey does it so effortlessly. And Johnny Marr is a genius. I've played guitar since I was 11 years old and I constantly hear new things every time I listen to his music. Such a great team. Truly the Lennon/McCartney of the 80's. Viva Moz.

[@xeixi3789]

They even ended on bad terms aswell lol

[@xeixi3789]

Well when Lennon died, John and Paul were already good with each other

[@molino.thesun]

great musician. Controversial person

[@dancygr]

They aren't McCartney and Lennon because Morrissey left before they could come close to the Beatles popularity and Morrissey's solo stuff never came close without Johnny

[@wolfcorpse]

[@Samboy666]

theres another line by the smiths that goes ( theres a pub if youd like to go. You might meet someone who really likes you. So you go and you stand on your own. and you leave on your own. and you go home and you cry and you want to die) lol thats hilarious too

Here are the chords that Alicia uses :)) All strings tuned a half step down, plus capo on 2nd fret.

No one needs the lyrics for this one, but just in case... Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die? Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die? What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed "Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said And I naturally fled In my life Why do I smile At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye? I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now "Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said And I naturally fled In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die?

[@apricityaffirmations7804]

THE HIGH NOTE !! is so beautiful

[@eysan.]

i cant find the right words to describe how angelic your voice is

[@JosephMelia]

Your voice has a nice air, a quality that suits this song well. The same can be said of your guitar skills. The music is clean and keeps it's rhythm constant, and clean of error., it doesn't intrude on your vocals. The emotion is the right tone too...Slightly depressed. And dry. I think Morrissey would approve.

[@CuacCuac666]

Lets be honesto, morrisey wouldnt even aprove his favourite thing😅

[@laurensa.1803]

Your voice and music has MUCH more depth and texture with this new microphone. Thank you so much for this beautiful sound!

[@luhfredo4912]

wow. this has to be the best cover i’ve found of this song and the way you handled the high notes was amazing.

[@Eli-qw9hl]

Alicia you should cover Femme Fatale by Velvet Undergound, would go really nice with your style

[@sSkyh1ll]

This is the best cover that I never found in yt,I don't like the original song, but this... this is nostalgic in essence ,it's impossible not to cry, it makes me think of better times

[@k.o.t7262]

This couldn’t have popped up in my suggestions at a more perfect point in my life. Feel like my life is in shambles but this song makes me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you Smiths. Thank you morrissey. And thank you for the beautiful cover :)

[@kbar9273]

The craftsmanship of that song displays the absolute talent that made the Smiths an icon of their time. I have always longed for you to rise above the median and ride the notes high and back down to the lowes you can go. This is the first time I have heard you challenge your range and what a great song to do it with. You are constantly evolving at light speed and am confident you will cast your spell on everyone who hears you. I really respect your fortitude and go get'em drive. You are something special.
