Johnny Marr - New Town Velocity [Official Music Video]

[@MelanieMisa-ok3jy]

"Left home a mystery, leave school for poetry. I say goodbye to them and me, mission velocity. It made me just run faster now, I’m gonna take it off driving round. Make up my mind, leave the windows down. I’m in something alright, I know I got to live it up, oh-oh, oh. I can’t resist, make for zero, oh, no. It turned out like I said it would, can I get the world right here? (...) Hello, you mystery. Mission velocity. Here comes our poetry, new town velocity." ❤

[@jmm3688]

So many bands loose their magic when they part ways. Not the case here. Music/lyrics just wonderful

[@voyagerdark]

I’m starting to believe Marr made better music than Morrissey

[@hattulalintu8714]

We bit late you've got it ^^ but doesn't matter, it's so absolutely truuuuuuuue. 💞🥰

[@barbarohelm9697]

Your being ridiculous morrissey has an incredible solo back catalogue.

The Smiths =music Marr...lyrics Miorrissey

[@alexanderwest2668]

The Smiths would have been nothing without Johnny Marr.

[@mindaaguhob3777]

I am more in love with Johnny more than I ever was with Morrissey. F that guy. Marr is the fractalization afterglow of enlightenment from the adolescent dark state the Morrissey still represent and never grew from. Seem Marr’s purpose was for the Smiths to actually get off the ground and last so Morrissey can spew his negativity within the beautiful framing Marr provided. He’s never grown up, meanwhile Marr is revealing himself as the ground from which all the generations of our teen angst got embraced, processed and now, let go.

[@danieleacquavera4107]

My 8 years old son asked specifically for this song today... I'm such a proud dad 😀

left school for poetry, formed a band with Morrissey

[@jackhammer0078]

Johnny Marr wrote most all of the chords for the Smiths, while Morrissey wrote the lyrics.

[@nmacog]

Left Mr Morrisey - result :)

[@mijnheerw7253]

Johnny Marr has grown to be my favourite guitar player. Sheer genius

[@ethercraft6921]

Totally agree

[@chriscurtis8344]

His groove is out of this world . He’s got like a Liverpool/Motown groove.

Absolutely

You make poetry with your guitar

As soon as the first chords start, you know something magic is going to happen. Johnny Marr, the God.

Nobody rights a riff like Johnny Johnny Johnny fuckin Marr 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This and “Hi Hello” are His best solo songs to date IMO. Has that Beautiful Smiths jangle, melody, & feel. This is right in Johnnys wheelhouse. Well done good sir.

[@GuzzWeber]

hands down

[@trappistpreserves]

god, he's just SO melodic and attractive and cool and everyone wants to be his friend.

[@BonnerTheWeebcreator]

This song has an "Under the Milky Way" vibe, and these are the best type of songs to me. Keep It going Marr!

[@vsander09]

Lol thank you! I was just about to post “major Church vibes!” Funny how you say these are the best type of songs for you. I feel the same. I call this sound “a mood I’m always in”.

[@JasonHillTV]

@@vsander09 Starfish is one of the best Albums.

[@danielmazini956]

Bem notado!

[@Frengerxxx]

I think, it's more "There is a light.....".

A intro lembra mesmo The Church - Under the Milky Way

Left home a mystery Leave school for poetry I say goodbye to them & me Mission velocity It made me just run faster now I'm gonna take it all Drive around Make up my mind With the windows down I'm in something alright I know I got to live it out uh-oh I can't resist Net force zero oh no It turned out like I said it would Can I get the world right here? Step out to symphonies They play on for you and me When we faced that July down In uniforms One and one, no wrong We chased that summer down I'm in something alright I know I got to live it out uh-oh I can't resist Net force zero oh no It turned out like I said it would Can I get the world right here?

Not a lot of people know this, but, it has always been Mr. Marr's job to sort things out. Seriously. Check it out. If it wasn't for him, The Smiths would not have lasted five months, let alone the five years they did. Anyhow. Here is Mr. Marr soothing the souls of old fans of The Smiths - who really ought to know better because - Morrissey's always been like that. Always. Anybody claiming otherwise just did not have their eyes open fully. Nevermind. Doesn't mean you cannot enjoy The Smiths any longer because, that is just ridiculous. I have all the LP's. What difference does it make (smirk) whether I play them or not? Exactly.

Johnny is carving out quite the solo career! Stunning melodies and beautiful, chiming guitars that combine with atmospheric synthesizers and Johnny's surprising, sturdy vocals.....guy can do no wrong-has a gift for creating majestic tunes that soar above the madness and monotony!

The best song of the 21st century so far.

[@fv6125]

Sounds like "The Railway Children's 1988 hit "A Pleasure"'s guitar riff especially the intro

[@PCDisciple]

One of his best solo works IMO. VERY good feel and tune, his vocal performance hit the spot too on this one.

[@ricovato7296]

[@ThePhoenix9508]

Give the song "Leave Me Alone" a listen

[@borismurillo2834]

ThePhoenix9508 Any after "Movement" and "Power, Corruption, and Lies" is too "dance poppy" for me.

[@ThePhoenix9508]

Lowlife is a solid album as well, check out "Sooner Than You Think," one of my all time favorite NO tracks. Up to that album was basically their golden run, but tbh the all-singles Substance is a good album and presents its own argument for their dance numbers. I don't listen to anything by them that comes after.

I've been dressing like this since 1964. I still have suede Beatle boots in a box only wear them once in awhile.
