THE SMITHS - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out | COUPLE REACTION: FULL ALBUM on Patreon NOW!

[@triscat]

“Anywhere. I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care….”

[@anthonypallen7919]

Guys, im 51 now and remember listening to these songs on my sony walkman (cassette player lol). The melancholy of it all is so beautiful. Love this era. Although a différent genre somewhat, New Order and Depeche Mode and the Church had the same effect. Great memories

[@michaelakkerman407]

The guitar layers Marr played with was just brilliant.

[@marcharley6465]

I've been a big fan of The Smiths since 1983 and was lucky enough to see them play live in London in 1985 and 1986. This isn't my favourite song of theirs but it's certainly a good one.

[@triscat]

For hardcore fans, perhaps. But you have to admit it is their Stairway to Heaven, for better or worse.

[@cyclops60]

Morrisey uses a lot of very understated, typically dark British humour that often gets overlooked. 'If a double decker bus crashes into us', 'If a ten ton truck kills the both of us', classic Morissey. I think this and their last album are the best but they had a load of wonderful singles and b-sides, This Charming Man, Heaven knows I'm miserable now, Panic, Shoplifters of the world unite, Girlfriend in a coma, Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me. I mean the titles alone draw you in! Cheers.

[@aeropilot4419]

Agree … many great sons on Louder Than Bombs ❤

[@CherylRivera-l6p]

You guys made this 67 year old lady very happy. Love the Smiths❤

[@michaelbehan58]

YES! Now you are getting into it! Every aspect of this band was brilliant. There are songs where the bass will blow you away as well. (Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now). Don't forget that Johnny Marr was like 20 when this was written...crazy. I'm loving these. Morrissey and his silly/serious lyrics over the brilliant music....100% unique

[@specialed36ify]

Love that song so much - definitely one of the best Smiths songs of all time!

[@vmax4steve524]

Morrissey was a big T. Rex fan, hence the strings. There are strings all over their seminal album Electric Warrior thanks to producer Tony Visconti, a good album to check out when you've got time, opening Track Mambo Sun is a real groove, Bolan was a pop genius and could rock as well. Sometimes it's good to go back to your idols influences, for Morrissey it was T. Rex and The New York Dolls, proper glam.

[@Bobby-LeeChanning]

good comm

[@Bobby-LeeChanning]

those strings ....utterly beautiful

[@gustavoflores8368]

Como me encanta The Smiths!!! Me traslada a mi adolescencia

[@mancuniancandidate9041]

Bless you both glad you enjoyed it. I felt it myself you'd have to be numb not to feel it. Immediately I was transported to my teenage years growing up in Manchester and yes night drives in cars with a girl friend to the social clubs and streets of Manchester. Forever in my heart ❤️

[@francisconavarro669]

Esta es una de mis canciones favoritas de siempre... que recuerdos... el Sr. Frogs en Mazatlán... uffff "driving in you car"..... todas las canciones de Smiths y Morrisey transmiten esa vibra..

[@musicaddict5076]

By far their best song. And when Zoey Deschanel references it in 500 days of Summer - best scene ever.

[@mkmstillstackin]

IKR? Never gets old. Definitely my favorite Smiths tune!

[@garymcghee2249]

Great choice guys, one of my all time favourite tracks. The whole album is a masterpiece and this is just very moving and sublime. Always brings a tear to my eye as well. x

[@mattleppard1970]

You’re getting a feel for how good they were and are 😊 Most likely the line “There is a light and it never goes out” will remain with you for a long time ❤

[@agegroot5666]

Best of would be not all their albums but close to. They were the band of my younger years and they always stayed one of my favorites since then. "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" is a small and delicate song i always loved.

[@davidlai1961]

i love this song. I just watched a live cover of this song by Rick Astley. It's a must see

[@stefanblue660]

Don't feel ashamed for crying Nick , many others did for sure, me too , it is a wonderful weird song.

[@David-j9h9g]

there is a feeling where u r partying knowing when the music ends u have nowhere safe to go to!!!

[@rosenfield10]

So glad you've discovered the brilliance of The Smiths. Don't forget about another much later Manchester band... elbow. They have a song out this year called "Lover's Leap" which describes another way to stay together forever. ❤

[@richarddobson815]

Search NicknLex Elbow, you'll find four reactions to Elbow. They love them!

[@KenCyrus-tb3nh]

I've always loved this song. Such a sweet song.

[@Nightrelic]

This one was one of the most fun songs to watch you two react to. You could definitely tell it was hitting a chord and then getting the story of why right after was awesome. I always liked the Smiths. I think my favorite album is Meat Is Murder, but they are all good.

[@Djsonley]

Rick Astley and Blossoms did a full Smith's set last year at Glastonbury and it was incredible in person. The Smiths have so many bangers and the crowd was huge for what basically was a cover band. Shame I never got to see the Smiths back in the day but a legendary Rock band in the UK.

[@aeropilot4419]

Always loved this song … Live from Earl’s Court version is ❤😊

[@williamr3840]

I'm pretty sure I've read that The Smiths' favourite album is 'Strangeways, Here We Come'. :0)

[@maine420grow]

This Charming Man

[@scottanderson8420]

Love your Patreon to KZbin crossover reactions. I hope you get lots of new subscribers. You are both so much fun to watch your lively response to good music. This is great quintessential 80’s music brings back good memories

[@davehess1019]

you two are so freaking cute, Love you two, ❤

[@MrDot9]

Morrissey & Marr’s favourite album was Strangeways.

[@ronbecker7939]

Got to check out “Bigmouth Strikes Again” absolutely incredible guitar work!

[@BrianR.]

One of my favorite Smiths song. The chord sequence makes it lots of fun to play along with on guitar.

[@oscillatewildly6553]

Thanks for your great reaction! Please do more Smiths and Morrissey

[@wordsleydave]

Morrissey - his songs and lyrics are the soundtrack to my life. Lovely reaction. Nick ..... I felt it too. This song had profound effect on my life.

[@keithc9461]

This is a song of love and regardless of sexual choice, it is a lovely song of devotion to your partner, and if you don't have a partner

[@neilsimon467]

Morrissey's romantic side coming out!! 🙂

[@Shabenn]

I knew a girl once who had gotten a genetic bad hand at birth. Her future wasn't looking good, I'll put it that way. One night we got pizza and we're hanging out watching TV. She says let's go for a drive or something to get out of the house. I like to drive and listen to music, sounded good to me. She brought a tape she'd made. Yes, a tape! This song came on while we were on the highway and honestly, it made me nervous! I found an excuse to go home and that was that. Needless to say, I think of her everytime I hear the song and that bit of nervousness comes back as well.

[@jb8280]

There are a few other Smiths songs that are as sad and beautiful, but don’t get the appreciation. One maudlin song is “Asleep”. It’s one of Morrissey’s saddest most deep felt moments. Then there is my all time favorite Smiths song, “Please please please let me get what I want”. It’s a short but powerfully sad beautiful song. Johnny Marr at his best. His use of the mandolin is beautiful.

[@TrygveSandvenHåland]

This is a great song and a great reaction, but my favourite part is youtube's subtitles giving me this little gem: "but then a strange bear gripped me and I just couldn't [Applause]" :-)

[@NicknLex]

Yeah that's AI doing it's amazing work haha. What a bummer

[@davewhitmore1958]

strange bears is as strange bears does

[@stevemadrid6522]

A true GenX love song.

[@deborahpaley21]

boomers claim it first

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Morrisey is a rare breed, a true artist who takes the norm and turns it on it's head: And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten tonne truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine Genius

[@nigelheathcote6084]

Check out well I wonder, gets me every time ❤

[@raulgonzalezart6006]

This has to be the best song ever written by humans.

[@noheamike5036]

Neil Finn does a nice live cover of this (with Johnny Marr on guitar) on his 7 Worlds Collide album and video. Actually use it as my ringtone.

[@gregoryriddle2618]

Yep, agree

Sublime

[@paulsharp2565]

It's a bit embarrassing watching someone who obviously already knows and loves the song, trying to act nonchalant in front of someone who hasn't heard it. We've all done it. Not wanting to show how deeply sad we are, at the core.

Enjoyed the reaction to a great song. If you love the Smiths then Johnny Marr's "Getting Away With It" live on BBC sounds on KZbin would be a great review. I think you'd like it , it's an absolute banger. Keep up the great work.

[@derrickparran]

Killer song!

[@StMichael7]

People believe the song is about suicide which is why he says in the lyrics that if a double decker bus or ten ton truck crashes in to them and kills both of them it will be a pleasure and because he says there is a light that never goes out. They say that a young couple was found dead by the police while this song was playing

[@stevecrisell108]

Quality.

[@josesanchez-os7zr]

The curious thing about this song, (which is the most popular of the band) Morrissey did not like very much and it took a lot for Marr to convince him to include it on the album (it is the penultimate song on side B) and of course it was not a single, which in my opinion prevented the album from being number 1 in '86.

[@triscat]

Maybe. I look at bands like The Smiths being excluded as a badge of honor. It actually adds to their legacy as outsiders to the Machine.

[@29memyselfandi]

RRHOF is a farce. You pay 50,000 or something to be included. John Lydon and the Sex Pistols refused it. Lydon also revealed that when he was doing a tv show they went to the RRHOF and lots of stuff that was on display as ‘ authentic hand written Johnny Rotten lyrics’ weren’t anything of the sort and didn’t even look like his handwriting. He pointed this out to them and they asked him to leave. It’s your typical corporate money maker that’s got nothing to do with honouring great music and everything to do with making money.

[@michaelakkerman407]

@triscat kind of, but most of the bands from the 80's have just been completely dumped on and it's a damn shame.

Just because someone thinks that to much illegal immigration has brought a lot of negative things doesn’t make them fascists. I currently live in a immigrant community and have for 50 years and have seen the dark side of illegal immigration. White liberals in the valley or suburbs don’t see the things that I’ve seen from illegal immigration. Obviously it’s not all immigrants but it’s still a large percentage of them that have caused problems
