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.

[@angelap.4200]

…..this is so true-no day without johnny marr in my ears🌈🐝

[@fannyingabout]

Oh yes❤

[@matthiasdecoster8491]

So nice to see Johnny reaching such a big audience

[@lawrencealberts898]

My wife and I saw he and his band last week in StPaul, MN. I’ve waited for years to see them. Simply,…brilliant..

[@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.

Class night, so glad to have been there - need more clips from the night especially when the production value is this good in filming the event.

[@strangeloved]

What a stunning arrangement. Privileged to have witnessed it :)

[@mingmong7234]

Effortless class ✊🏻

[@timprice5234]

This is sublime, I was there and would love to see the whole set again.

[@twhelostl61]

JM has an old soul. My best wishes for this talented and thoughtful genious. My days of now, Even as I Age he has the ability touch my soul. The movie to this tune would be a winning window view.

[@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.

[@Vespertilio528491]

Wow! Will there be more? I'd buy a DVD/streaming of this straight away.

[@Besty66]

WOW!

[@edsoncoimbra727]

I hope so! This looks good! Johnny Marr is an amazing guitarist! 👍🏻 🙂 😎

[@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,

[@AlejandroGilardenghi]

​@@instantrameng0d36no entendi.. cortaron y luego volvieron? Leí la biografía de Johnny.. tenia entendido que siempre habían estado juntos.. desde muy jóvenes..

[@Gelsyviolet]

Johnny lo seguo dagli anni 80 e lo amo, però questa canzone è un pò banale. Strizza l'occhio a There is ...............out!
