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

[@_nay__]

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.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

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

[@patricktetteroo9950]

Mike Joyce great drummer 👍🏻

[@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...

[@louisdrury6071]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@MarkMartinezPhoto]

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

[@bertspierings7922]

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

[@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!

[@DesmoDreams]

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

[@s3blag]

Me2

[@TheTerryWaters]

We all were.

[@agata529]

This is so beautiful.. I'm crying

[@mojopin70]

Then you are crying for yourself.

[@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.

[@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.

[@eldjswett]

This is the best video on the internet

[@joshmcilvenna837]

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

[@renzzo_contreras]

This is better than the official video.

[@omareherross9954]

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

[@ianhamblin2432]

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

[@fotorenan]

everyone was perfect, great perfomance

[@skylarkeverwing3534]

This song plus "Jeane." Heaven.

[@davidchristofaro1361]

It takes strength to be gentle and kind

[@renanalcantara8856]

His vocals are on point here!

[@lulukinharocks]

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

[@passingoutthepieces122]

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

[@collapsingspace]

And it never really began ....

[@elizabeth-qx2bs]

But in my heart it was so real...

[@clogsism]

Damn it! Am addicted to the Smiths!

[@lazeegamer5171]

The greatest song to grace our ears

[@patricktetteroo9950]

Mike Joyce.. genius on drums 👍🏻

[@davidchristofaro1361]

Purely Amazing

[@yvonnesanders2490]

Beautiful

[@pereaguilobennassar6144]

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

[@williyful]

I'm crying

[@leebrady77]

Beautiful...Very difficult to emulate

[@nirvanapaulpaulunderhill]

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

[@kevinhall2829]

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

[@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

[@SilentSwitchblade]

Simply the best

[@SuhbeTV]

i am crying rn

[@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

[@charlepierre]

I love this song

[@elizabeth-qx2bs]

Simplemente genial

[@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.

[@jamiaconzent575]

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

[@bella6752]

enough said.

[@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.

[@TheAlien1970]

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

[@DrWolfenstein]

TheAlien1970 Gannon not Cannon 😂

[@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"

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

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

[@melike8824]

His voice...

[@1122redbird]

The Smiths were special. Lightening in a bottle.

[@jejones211]

Love, love, love!

[@FUMUNGUS24]

¡Malditos himnos orgásmicos ochenteros!

[@lexiautoparts]

Quite lovely Morrissey

[@whatachola]

[@lucasnatan82]

Caralho cara, que live incrível, meu deus.

[@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…

[@TheUmberto65]

Fave...ever!

[@OliveiraGR198pp]

isso é maravilhoso meu

[@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.

[@keirmcfc]

omg omg omg my heart
