The Smiths, 11, I Know It s Over, Rank

[@kempo810]

The "mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head" from 4:59 to 5:13 is one of the greatest moments in music. The way his voice rises on "head" is unreal.

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

It truly is one of the greatest moments in musical history. Nothing has been produced remotely close vocally since

[@mutahmarriagecounselor2272]

That is perhaps my favorite vocal of all

[@joaovitorribeirosouza3916]

Extend it to 5:42 pls haha

This song brings painful memories. My brother died when he was 19. My only brother. Tragic gun accident. He was a huge moz fan and even had moz's name on his back. My mother heard this exact version the week of his death as she tried to listen to his music because they weren't very fond of moz at the time. This was 1996. But when she heard this, she just fell out. Every time I hear this version I can see her crying. She played all moz at his wake. Miss you bro..but we're So lucky to have mos music. And for who ever was there to record and thank you for sharing with us all. I never knew these were recorded. This live version if the albums is just brilliant. He got down. All of them did

[@GG-sk6jg]

Mrs.Smith the reason i listen to this song is because of the way i can relate to the lyrics and strangely it helps, saying that my reason is not as tragic as ur reason for listening, mine being thinning yours being remembering, all I can say is respect to you and all the best

[@dwr4992]

The album version is rumoured to have been laid down in a single take. Brilliant & chilling. "It takes guts to be gentle and kind".

[@outsidethepyramid]

"I don't know where else I can go" It is heartbreaking.

[@Westerdd]

If I had to choose a most memorable piece of music from all the music I have ever heard it would be the last 3 minutes of this performance.

[@bbdiscus4741]

rank-its over. its one of the best thing i ever hurd in music ever

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

No one every did this kind of shit better than him. Timeless.

[@patricktetteroo9950]

Mike Joyce great drummer 👍🏻

[@rodrigoramos934]

Acredito q nem se ele tentasse fazer outra performance igual a esta mais 100 vezes, não conseguiria. O melhor som ao vivo de todas as bandas e de todos os tempos.

[@louisdrury6071]

Best live performance of any song by. Any band!, can’t be beaten

[@MarkMartinezPhoto]

My favorite live performance of all time. I've never heard anything like it.

[@srei]

I love this song, it's so intense and meaningful... I loved to sing it when I was happy because I would not feel the pain, but today I'm singing as Morrissey, it's very hard when you lose someone you love, so many broken promises, so many memories, it's like he said... I feel the soil falling over my head...

[@bertspierings7922]

That intense pain, that desperation that touches me to the bone. unfortunately.

[@_nay__]

Me too. I cried many tears to album and specifically to this song. The sadness in vmhos beautiful voice and man how he hit every word spot on with that music. The Smith's played so beautifully

[@kevinhall2829]

Nobody shows the world up for what it is and society in which we live in better than morrissey and this clip and song is about as good or as sad as you will ever get adore this song puts me in a dark place thou will be played on my last day for sure.

[@eldjswett]

This is the best video on the internet

[@ianhamblin2432]

I was at that gig and what a gig it was Brilliant

[@agata529]

This is so beautiful.. I'm crying

[@mojopin70]

Then you are crying for yourself.

[@DesmoDreams]

The song that got me into the Smiths. I was a late starter...

[@s3blag]

Me2

[@TheTerryWaters]

We all were.

[@antonioochoa9209]

This song said the things that were happening in my life back in 87, now in 2018 its happening all over again....it saves my life once again!

[@charlesschaefer1974]

antonio, it is never as bad as it seems...

[@dierdriu]

I get it.

[@philmalley7888]

This happened to me in 87 and sent me off into a spiral and it took ten years to recover from that level of heartbreak again and again and again

[@_nay__]

Hear hear.

[@omareherross9954]

Just amazing. Specially since 4:16 til the end of the song.

[@skylarkeverwing3534]

This song plus "Jeane." Heaven.

[@renzzo_contreras]

This is better than the official video.

[@fotorenan]

everyone was perfect, great perfomance

[@lulukinharocks]

Maravilhosamente visceral Morrissey. Ponha pra fora sua dor com um grito poético.

[@kenbutcher8217]

The video is poor , the lighting atrocious , the tone occasionally misfires - slick it ain’t . But i agree this clip is absolutely spellbinding - one of the best music videos on youtube. Morrissey was never better . You share the pain . The Smiths quality is sometimes disguised - sounding like a hotel bar band after midnight . I remember the first time I heard The Beatles , The Stones , and Jimi Hendrix . I also remember suddenly “ getting “ The Smiths ! . the magic of Morrissey , and Marr with his unique chord structures. A WOW moment!

[@bertspierings7922]

Perfection exists. The Smiths proved it. Deep bow...

[@patricktetteroo9950]

Mike Joyce.. genius on drums 👍🏻

[@renanalcantara8856]

His vocals are on point here!

[@Htiler]

Do you think morrissey is singing the last 2 minutes? I've got headphones on.... I love this version best.

[@MrJonno85]

You mean he's hiding his mouth? 😉 "Oh Mother, I can feel The shirt going over my head"

[@DS-sz1dr]

I would give this video 1000 thumbs up if it would let me. The Smiths are the best there ever was. Morrissey forever.

[@pereaguilobennassar6144]

Simply amazing.... I love this song forever...

[@leebrady77]

Beautiful...Very difficult to emulate

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

"Love is natural and real - but not for you and I, my love". Now that is heartbreaking

[@clogsism]

Damn it! Am addicted to the Smiths!

[@lazeegamer5171]

The greatest song to grace our ears

[@davidchristofaro1361]

It takes strength to be gentle and kind

[@passingoutthepieces122]

Viva Morrissey. "It takes strength to be gentle and kind"

[@mikesmith-jm4xl]

Yes.. there was a time b4 American idol and the voice.... This is so classic

[@North49191]

I just want to go back but I can't

[@jamiaconzent575]

Es un cantante inmortal lo amoo que voz tiene tan clasica tan sutil pero con tanta fuerza

[@davidchristofaro1361]

Purely Amazing

[@joshmcilvenna837]

I might be stating the obvious when I say that this is better than anything Shakespeare ever did.

[@SilentSwitchblade]

Simply the best

[@yvonnesanders2490]

Beautiful

[@TheAlien1970]

Holly fuck!! The entire line up is there...even Craig Cannon....

[@DrWolfenstein]

TheAlien1970 Gannon not Cannon 😂

[@collapsingspace]

And it never really began ....

[@elizabeth-qx2bs]

But in my heart it was so real...

[@charlepierre]

I love this song

[@SuhbeTV]

i am crying rn

[@williyful]

I'm crying

[@andreapalomino7260]

Asi es como suena la depresion de las 3 am en la soledad de tu cuarto llorando 💜💜💜viva viva viva 🎆❤

[@sandratr2618]

andrea palomino Literal a las 4 am.

[@rondid]

So hard to here at this very moment. I'll climb to my empty bed tonight, so she told me. Love is such a hard drug, I think withdrawal from heroin is easier than withdrawal from love.

[@_nay__]

I have to agree with you

[@elizabeth-qx2bs]

Simplemente genial

[@FUMUNGUS24]

¡Malditos himnos orgásmicos ochenteros!

[@jejones211]

Love, love, love!

[@nirvanapaulpaulunderhill]

Morrissey swirling around like a fine wine beautiful....

[@kevinhall2829]

That's just a beautiful way of putting it well done.

[@lexiautoparts]

Quite lovely Morrissey

[@lucasnatan82]

Caralho cara, que live incrível, meu deus.

[@bella6752]

enough said.

[@melike8824]

His voice...

[@elsecretopez]

i love you morissey and marr

[@joshmcilvenna2820]

It's better than anything Shakespeare ever did

[@joshuaclark3582]

Josh Mcilvenna what about Shakespeare’s sister?

[@TheTerryWaters]

Shakespeare was quite the plagerist.

[@Unherdmelody]

Check out sonnet 147 and 149. Very similar to this masterpiece

[@bernie4268]

Out out brief candle..life's but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying...nothing.

[@Umbe65]

Fave...ever!

[@OliveiraGR198pp]

isso é maravilhoso meu

[@whatachola]

Morrissey

[@achilleskoukouselis4260]

This is my life..

[@agesousa1]

Simplesmente demais

[@bernie4268]

Who is the mother he's talking to? So many classic lines - so revealing too. No posing. It's from the heart. Noone had bothered with loners much before. If you are single you do have moments when you wonder how do other people find partners so easily? Why is he imagining death? Is this the "death wish" we all supposedly unconsciously have? Don't forget the album also has Cernetry Gates and There is a light and death is mentioned in the album title too. Very interesting.

[@mujeresdelrock5873]

que buena balada lpm!!

[@keirmcfc]

omg omg omg my heart

[@pollypickpocket213]

Tippy top right here

[@endrypoison]

So touching -_-

[@CristianNicolae]

Only Sia’s Breathe me is as touching.

[@pajs1000]

The Smiths!................any more questions?

[@VickyBackbone]

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed Oh well. Enough said. I know it's over - still I cling I don't know where else I can go Oh... Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head See, the sea wants to take me The knife wants to slit me Do you think you can help me? Sad veiled bride, please be happy Handsome groom, give her room Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly (Though she needs you More than she loves you) And I know it's over - still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over and over and over and over Over and over, la... I know it's over And it never really began But in my heart it was so real And you even spoke to me, and said : "If you're so funny Then why are you on your own…

[@1122redbird]

The Smiths were special. Lightening in a bottle.

[@maurilioworkin]

And so, Renato Russo has canned inspired to write "Vento no Litoral". All grateful to Morrissey for it!
