The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (Live, Hamburg, 1984)

Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany
May 4th, 1984

[@Ryokon101]

i don't think many people realize how good johnny marr is on the guitar, listen to him play it's unreal

[@brandonlarratt8761]

I agree with man !!!! ppl are paying too much attention to Morrissey,Johnny's melodies are masterful and Andy Rourke bass playing is unreal,between johhny and Andy best guitar and bass playing in music.

[@brandonlarratt8761]

rhys Hison dude ur repeating what I just said. Of course Andy Rourke is the shit,that's why I said ppl pay too much attention to Morrissey and johnny.

[@philearl7614]

+rhys Hison They really were a dream team! - Such a shame they split.

[@ratso69ful81]

+William Morgan I saw him live last year, unbelievable show, he did a whole slew of Smith tunes which he co- wrote with Morrissey.

[@JosepGee]

It takes multiple talents to make a great band 👌🏼seen both Johnny and Morrissey live

[@rentalsnake6542]

It saddens me beyond words to know that I won't see The Smiths live.

[@jnicholsonjr]

Yea you could whine about it or thank christ you're watching them live right now by the magic of the interwebs

[@pavelshevchenko4848]

@@jnicholsonjr but it ain't the same as being there man. There are too many bands I will sadly never get to see live and it blows.

Andy's Bass part really shines in this song.

[@lucasbottner8897]

for sure. really awesome work

[@abrahamparish]

I agree...the drumming is nothing special but really doesnt need to be...you have an excellent bassist who compliments a genius guitarist

[@jiggersotoole7823]

[@broccoli_lad]

morissey has a really beautiful voice and marr is a master at that guitar, im glad these 2 met

[@nohemielbeth6770]

Marcus Burton yaas :-)

[@TheInfamousLegend27]

Andy and Mike tho

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

i'm also sad these two split again. But at least we got a lot of good music from the temporary union.

[@obsi_diana]

Such a special band

[@GK-gc9cv]

@@KRAFTWERK2K6 just think what could have been if they put their differences aside for the greater good of mankind and stayed together

[@dotdotdot8376]

I know everyone always praises moz's voice and johnny's playing, and yes they are beautiful, but Andy rourkes bass is to die for

[@skyblader65]

Yes!!!

[@Ravedaze.]

The girls at our school in 1984 would walk around with daffodils in their back pockets and sing this song.. I thought it was bizarre but it was the 80,s 😃

[@daisydarling2827]

i wish i was one of those girls

[@richardevans7035]

And today they just look at their mobile phones, I'm glad I was young in the 80s

[@tonych33cks35]

Thanks for sharing that 😃

[@kindalikery2571]

Richard EVANS can I ask? Weren’t you looking at your phone when watching this? Don’t assume that we are bad because we own phones and social media accounts we still have personalities. I love my phone for the many reasons that I can actually find footage of amazing bands like this. Doesn’t mean that I’m ignorant for it.

[@safari8447]

[@tobyaughnotobi3919]

The finest quartet of musicians ever. Simply no-one to touch them.

[@jonathanlegthigh8264]

Microdisney is the band the Smiths could have been had they played their cards right. Cathal Coughlan > Morrissey

[@florentinastrugaru3492]

This is one of the most relatable songs ever made.

[@BreadandFaxes]

Morrissey's vocals are so fucking on point. And of course Marr and the rest of the band are killing it. Jesus christ what talent.

[@gabeg6535]

That bass line is freaking awesome!

[@ArneeINVINCIBLE]

This song is ageless.

[@TheOmanJam]

"and I naturally fled." That creases me up. The guy is an inspiration.

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed "You've been in the house too long" she said And I naturally fled In my life Why do I smile At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now "You've been in the house too long" she said And I naturally fled In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die

Johnny the best ever!

[@psalmsofmiseryaz]

The kick in the eye line never fails to give me full body goosebumps. I feel like i got left off the whole morrisey train until i was fucking like 33, currently 37 and cannot be more infatuated by these songs and this whole entire package.. i resent everyone who failed to bring me closer to true happiness way sooner by not telling me this ever existed. Im disheveled to say the least.
