One of my favorite Marr songs - nostalgic and personal, things he tends to avoid. The world is just a better place with this man and his music in it.

So nice to see Johnny reaching such a big audience

[@anjosixtyeight2773]

I love the quote from one of his schoolteachers. "You're an artist Johnny." She knew.

[@Baribrotzer]

For a noted guitar hero, Johnny Marr is no technical monster. But he has the gift all great pop musicians must have: He can find the RIGHT notes for the song at that instant, and play them convincingly. Sounds simple, but it isn't. At one point he was in Hans Zimmer's live ensemble, playing right alongside fusion MF'er Guthrie Govan. Guthrie's job was to play anything and everything Hans could imagine - and he can do that, the guy's an absolute monster. Johnny's job was to play like Johnny Marr.

[@GeoffTidey]

Wonderful 🎻🎸🎶 Is it possible to watch the rest of the concert somewhere?

[@elicastelli9728]

He comes up with some beautiful melodies and jangly guitar lines, kinda early Peter Buck on the Rickenbacker, but 100% JM. A one off muso.

[@TheBarkerboy10]

[@Besty66]

WOW!

[@Vespertilio528491]

[@lizahadiz8835]

Such a beautiful song. Who's the lucky girl in '79 btw?

[@instantrameng0d36]

haha it's Angie Marr they've been togther since they were 15 years old! Although I've read somewhere they actually had broken up, but then got back together and married. He talks about it in his autobiography and it's actually so cute,

[@iancamone]

as good as any smiths song imo
