There is a song that always sounds great.

😂

[@deoranjed8118]

You could even say that about this one 😐

[@thehypnotist5779]

Totally.

[@monicawood9942]

So glad to hear Johnny Marr singing Smiths songs. I really think he does a great job. The songs are so good, glad to hear someone other than Morrissey singing them.

[@theoneandonlyownage]

Marr's singing keeps getting better, soon no one will even want a reunion. Marr can do it all!

[@elLiron6]

I searched for some of his performances because I am annoyed by Morrissey... And he really does a great job singing! :)

[@TheFluffestMango]

@@elLiron6 relatable.

[@jrr7605]

Marr is a bore, there is no oomph no vroom no angst or despair, he's trotting through the Smiths songs like he just don't care. Morrissey's words deserve more respect, this guy takes the piss.

[@jacobmassey3897]

He owns 50% of every Smiths song so he can play whatever he wants whenever he wants.

[@amandahuggnkiss]

Johnny's guitar work is just so sublime

[@michaelburk9171]

I graduated from high school in 1985 and the Smiths were big. Listened to them off n on since. But it took a while to appreciate Marr's guitar. Like you say, sublime. Subtle and like a net holding everything together. Amazing

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

This is one of the best freakin tunes ever written 🏆

[@peterdalton9012]

Marr and Morrissey have some serious unfinished business to attend to. My GOD.

[@thehypnotist5779]

And seems like he wrote many of the other best freakin tunes ever written.

[@mrshankly213]

The best melancholic and cathartic song of all time, in my opinion. RIP Taylor, sorely missed by all fans of rock/pop music and it's various forms.

[@TheBella2u]

Ya! He really, really was one of a kind. His twitchy enthusiasm so endearing and his obvious love ❤️ for music 🎶. I feel for his wife and kids.

[@mrshankly213]

@@TheBella2u He was obviously such a loved guy, I can't imagine what his family and the Foos are going through, and his closest mates. Such a sad time :(

[@painted1276]

Who is Taylor?

[@mrshankly213]

@@painted1276 Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters drummer hence Johnnys dedication at the start of the song.

[@adrians7245]

That's the best singing I've heard form Johnny. Marrvelous version

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Agreed, his voice sounds so good, smooth and gentle here...and it's a great version all round.

[@empireman1077]

@@ChubbyChecker182 I really think that JM has improved his performing and voice So much better version and what a legend Taylor Parker 🙏🕯️

[@RAJIVKUMAR-ge4hm]

There is another live performance of him singing this song from a few years back. That's the best one.

[@stevenhartlaub4557]

He’s okay. Noel Gallagher’s version is much better in my opinion. Obviously, neither can match Morrissey’s vocal.

[@rongarza1974]

Man. Johnny has a great voice.

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

I disagree but he does sound better here than he used to? Lots of practice I guess.

[@michaelburk9171]

He is sounding good. It's gotta be difficult for him to sing Smith's sings because he automatically gets compared to Morrissey. And virtually no one can compare to Morrissey.

[@stevenhartlaub4557]

@@michaelburk9171I agree, but you should check out Noel Gallagher’s cover of this song. Noel has a better voice than Johnny and delivers a wonderful version of the song.

[@jenslempke7883]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. The anthem of my 17th summer, 1988.

[@mrc5653]

The arrangement of this song is just sublime 👌✌️

[@twelvepercentitalian2511]

One of the most romantic and beautiful songs ever written.

[@wileywilson]

One of my favourite songs from The Smiths.

[@arturoacosta6583]

This tune brings happy tears to my eyes,a sincere song.

[@wrgzm]

nice version by Johnny Fuckin Marr 💖

[@louise196Light]

❤️❤️❤️

[@andyk682008]

Guitar Legend Johnny Fuckin Marr.

[@JIMIIXTLAN]

I had to add my two cents JOHNNY FUCKING MARR

[@j8kup222]

Johnny is a stand up Guy. Legend

[@markedward4290]

Seems impossible but he has continued to get better and better over time. His guitar is mesmerizing. I played it so many times my brain hurts. Totally an addictive drug.☺

[@andrewspears3243]

The song is amazing but the last two minutes of this are so amazing it don't get no better

[@oliverromoff9852]

So amazing to hear with the new keys player playing the string parts. Gives me chills!

[@TB71294]

This wonderful song must be 37 years old! It’ll never go out.

[@marcelo8442]

This song fits almost every kind of voice.

[@jaycartwright7205]

One of the best songs of all time.

[@diamonddog4708]

This is such a brilliant song, it sounds good whoever sings it. Marr, Morrisey, Astley, all sounds phenomenal.

[@tearsofaclone6721]

Have a look at the PMJ Ashley Campbell version 😉

[@diamonddog4708]

@@tearsofaclone6721 That's certainly an interesting take. I like PMJ a lot. My only criticism is that it's a *VERY* British song of a certain era and sentiment in UK 1980's. The songwriters and Rick Ashley obviously get that, it's a bit lost on Ashley perhaps.

[@angelocec]

In every Smith's song that Johnny plays, he sings it in a beatiful way. Wonderful to see him singing so good. Johnny is the only one that can cover The Smiths so close to perfection.

[@angelocec]

@@cosmo43095 oh, really? Are you kidding? Thank you for bring me this information. You're a genius.

Still gives me chills after all these years. One of the best songs EVER.

Nice dedication at the beginning 👏

[@GuitarClass10]

johnny marr is guitarrist very good !!!

[@tonnaboy10]

No shit, Sherlock

[@thedeadxtras9927]

A truly fantastic live version and arrangement, it gets better each time they play it! Johnny’s voice has improved greatly over the years, what so many people forget who keep saying it’s nothing without Morrissey is Johnny was and is primarily a guitarist and a fantastic one at that, he is a guitarist who then started singing lead vocals after many years, Morrissey was a vocalist and a great one, but people should try leading a band playing the riffs Johnny plays and also lead vocals at the same time live, it’s not an easy role to accomplish and master live especially when you are at the forefront and 100% in the limelight of the audience for the entire show, so many things to remember, play, sing, entertain etc, etc, than just being the singer who has hands free to entertain and involve the crowd. They are two very different kinds of role in a band and to do it so well as Johnny now does! Etc, etc, in the midst of life we are in debt etc!!!

[@dianecordero9769]

not to mention Johnny Marr makes both the guitar and the vocals look so easy and you can truly tell he's having a great time performing. I am a new fan but you can definitely see him getting more comfortable compared to 2017 even

[@michaelburk9171]

Solid insights. Thanks Morrissey has one of the most beautiful and distinctive voices ever. No one can sing like him. Marr is a good singer. Disrespectful to expect him to sound like Morrissey then criticize him for not being able to. Plenty to appreciate with Marr as he is
