“Only” 70? What more do we want? This one song would have been sufficient to make them unique (a word never more appropriately used). The other 69 are an added bonus.

The smiths were amazing. A drummer who was from a punk band A bassist from a funk band Their guitarist was virtuoso immersed in everything from soul to punk from working in a record store And Morrissey, a crazy lyricist who plundered kitchen sink dramas and poetry for inspiration. They had a strange partnership, Marr would write the music and send it to Morrissey, the band would then record their parts and Morrissey would then sing over the track, often they heard the lyrics for the first time in the studio Check " I know it's over" as an example of this and imagine hearing those words over your music for the first time.

I believe the story of the flowers goes as follows: The Smiths were playing on a big British show called Top Of The Pops. The thing about that show was, the network would book whoever was at the top of the music charts and have them perform, but the artist/band was not allowed to play/sing live; they had to lip synch to their record. So since Morissey didn't need the microphone he decided to take the piss and sing into some flowers. There's a clip of the time Iron Maiden played Wasted Years on Top Of The Pops, and kept switching positions (having the drummer play guitar, having the bassist lip synch, having the singer drum, and keep switching positions like musical chairs. Also, with Morissey, his rabid fan base would come to Smiths' shows and bring him flowers and copies of Oscar Wilde books and different things he mentioned in songs.

Morrissey is known for performing on stage accompanied by flowers, usually gladioli, swinging in hand or shoved in the back of his trousers. The history behind flowers and his flowering caring fans can be linked to a music video by the British pop group The Smiths in which Morrissey was the lead vocalist. The video was for the single "This Charming Man" it was the group's second single released in October 1983. Two music videos were made for "This Charming Man". The first was filmed by the British television show The Tube, and features the band playing the song in a room filled wall to wall with flowers. Morrissey and fellow Smiths band mates can be seen in the video tossing flowers about while flower petals fall from the ceiling. After the "This Charming Man" video release The Smiths fans would adorn the band with flowers whenever the band performed live.

Morrissey is so funny - I can’t explain the bush he’s wearing in his jeans but the hearing aid he is wearing is because a fan with hearing disabilities wrote to him saying they felt very self-conscious about wearing a hearing-aid and so of course Morrissey appears on the most popular TV show at the time (watched by practically all of England, Ireland and Scotland) wearing a hearing-aid so his fan would not feel self conscious. Which is pretty awesome.

The flower thing? Morrisey, in a few of his TV appearances in 1982, waved gladioli and daffodils on stage. From then on. in every concert from 1982 to 1989, fans would bring flowers to concerts, and when the band appeared on stage, 1000s of flowers would be thrown on stage - what a glorious site. Also, you missed the line, "Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now." - the last thing you want to be reminded of is you are alone or have failed in love and relationships or just can't get or find anyone. Morrissey is a poet.

Always interesting to see how younger generations react to music of previous generations.

Morrissey’s lyrics are truly relatable, and the band are all extremely talented, I picked up guitar over the last year with Johnny Marr (Smiths guitar player) being a massive influence and reason why I picked up the hobby.

One of The Smiths best lyrical song is called "I Know it's Over." It's a great slow (some may call it depressing) song. It's really worth a listen if you are okay with sitting back and listening to the lyrics.

"If you're so funny, why you on your own tonight?" One of their best!

You hit the nail on the head my bro. Been listening to The Smiths since their start. Good to see that new generations appreciate them as well. And yes, I think a large portion of why so many people relate to Morrissey and The Smiths is because he was able to articulate in a way that had not been heard before, the way so many of us feel.

I mean, this is a great introduction to The Smiths if it was your entry song. Stephen Patrick Morrissey (the lead singer) is basically the king of the 80s. Such a tight band.

The bass is funky and kicks along nicely. Morrisey is an enigma, a true poet and very educated in his own self worth. He built his own confidence through performing live, which is where he became so alive to himself.
