An annotated script of this video:
docs.google.com/document/d/1b...
The Smiths remain one of the most prominent bands in British music history. Johnny Marr is still considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time and Morrissey is considered one of the greatest lyricists of all time.
Rarely does a band exist for such a little amount of time yet have such a huge influence. I know that “indie rock” has become a terrible, catch-all label today to describe music, but if I had to pick one band that helped make “indie rock” a thing in the first place, it would be the Smiths. Odds are, your favorite band from the past 35 years was influenced by them- that’s how influential they were. More specifically, The Smiths helped British popular music return to its rock roots, even helping create an entire genre of music- Britpop. As a matter of fact, I’d argue alternative rock wouldn’t have been nearly as big in the 1990s if it weren’t for the band.
The Smiths may have only been together a few short years, but their impact on music and culture still resonates today.

I was in the backseat of my car during a road trip,my family and i were playing music from the 60s-90s that we liked,joy division,manic street preachers,nirvana,echo and the bunnymen,green day,david bowie,queen,the cure... Then suddenly my mother played "there is a light that never goes out" and i SWEAR,it was like an awakening in me,from the first chord it had such a huge impact on me,it wasnt one of those songs that you have to listen to a bunch of times until you like it,for me,it was an instant click,then she played heaven knows im miserable now and i kept on discovering their music,this charming man,panic,bigmouth strikes again,everyday is like a sunday,suedhead.., i love watching their music videos and concerts and i learned a lot with this video.thank you for making it.

[@indigoj]

There is a Light That Never Goes Out, is the greatest love song ever written. Do one on Morrissey’s solo career duh.

[@carlosgonbr]

I'm Brazilian, I'm 52 years old, and I lived through the time when The Smiths emerged. I bought all the albums released in Brazil and followed their entire career. I'm not sure how it was in the rest of the world, but here their influence was very strong on the best rock bands of the time, both in playing style and lyrics. I listened so much that I spent almost a decade without listening, but now I'm back into it, and it's amazing. It's on another level. It's a shame they never came to Brazil. I only watched Morrissey and Jonny Marr's solo shows, and it was very emotional.

[@joygimbel7760]

I’m American and they define my teen years, college. Still love them at 55.

[@BloggerMusicMan]

The Smiths are such an important band for me. I discovered them when I was 14 and they really influenced not just my musical tastes, but Morrissey's lyrics were a part of the reason I wanted to read more. That was what made me want to go into university and what put me on the path I am today.

[@mikeortizjr.2186]

I saw The Smiths in Dallas at the Bronco Bowl, too young to realize how great they were. Now that I’m much older, I have realized that I saw one of the greatest bands of all time. They changed my life and I am forever grateful for that. MORRISSEY changed my life and I still would follow him anywhere. ” Because we must ”.

Not an unusual situation as so many of my fave bands never toured down here until the 1990s, and The Smiths were donzo by then...

I'd love to see you do a deep dive into their career. Also, these videos are so special to me.

[@sandibergen2523]

I just listened to your entire Story of The Smiths, whom I Love. It was great & very informative for me, thank you for all your work in making this & putting it out for everyone. My ex-husband was an enormous fan of The Smiths and saw them perform more than once. I didn’t really know a lot about them until Circa 1990, after they had parted ways. I never got to see them perform but I did see Morrissey in Boulder, CO in 1997, Maladjusted Tour. I made my way up to the front stage (smaller venue) and he held/shook my hand and smiled at me, an incredibly monumental moment~ My favorite song: There’s a Light, not just because it’s a beautiful song but because of an event. We had just taken a road trip moving from Monterey to Olathe, KS, where my soon to be husband & his best friend were going to start a band. After a month, things weren’t moving along. We were living in our friends parents basement & one night I was so over living there and I said take me anywhere… and yep, I had no home-so it’s a magical memory for me because after meeting Michael, my life changed 💯 for the better. He introduced amazing music, art, classical literature etc. to me and was very well read & interesting and quirky and my life changed forever. So this song always brings me back to that time in my life in 1992. Definitely was the greatest summer of my life, to this day. The story has way more to it and all seriously so cool and amazing, but suffice to say-The Smiths, The Cure, REM were my fav 3 bands when we met and he had asked me what were my top 3 & when I told him he freaked because his were the same 3. We were married 6 months later in NYC. I just saw The Cure at MSG 6/21/23-and they were so incredible/our seats were so close to the stage-best show I’ve ever been to. Would love to hear more of their story! Robert Smith (after 3 hour show) got a 10 min standing ovation & said thanks this was F’ing incredible & had tears walking off the stage ♥️

[@joygimbel7760]

Omg what an incredible story of seeing the Cure. I’m kicking myself for missing their tour. I saw Morrisey about 10 yrs ago same thing Re Little Light which he played. It’s like they didn’t know how much of an incredible impact they had on our lives. ❤️

Great video!!! I'm sure you know this but Tony Wilson didn't sign them not because he thought they were bad or mediocre but because factory records were almost bankrupt at the time. Also EMI didn't reject them, they offered The Smiths a deal but they wanted to stay independent as it was very important to them and their fans. They Had a huge following by their 3rd gig which is mad to think about. Loved seeing this video on my recommended!
