THE SMITHS HEAVEN KNOWS I'M MISERABLE NOW REACTION(First time hearing)

[@dana_brooke_27]

The Smith's are an acquired taste for many. I always liked them. Life isn't perfect. Never will be. They sing about it. Great band.

[@annesmith2259]

One of my favourite songs ever ❤️

[@SmithBran]

Me too

[@saman9592]

Rourke's bass hits differently on this one 🙌

[@julilla1]

I love The Smiths, though I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. My friend says she wants to slit her wrists whenever she hears them, lol. But I just love that dry, sly humour that their songs have.

[@sarahzentexas]

A friend of mine once called my musical taste “alt-suicide” 😂 because of my love for The Smiths.

[@kevcall]

Many people's opinion unfortunately who don't see the irony in many of the songs. If you ever get the chance, go and see the tribute band 'The Smyths', you won't regret it.

[@julilla1]

@@sarahzentexas oooh, I like that! 😆

[@29memyselfandi]

Your friend has no sense of humour or maybe just didn’t give them a proper listen. Morrissey’s lyrics are often hilarious ( underneath the melancholy )

[@29memyselfandi]

This is a lovely review. You got it.

[@johnj2763]

The Smiths were always an interesting group and very eclectic. Morrissey always tip toed and flitted around his imagery and sexuality to the nth degree and created an specific aura.Very influential. Harri loved that jacket btw. It almost makes you disappear into the decor. lol

[@davidstenton4365]

*Harri* MY FAVORITE Smiths song.!!!!! Ty bro.!

[@peterbarratt2415]

Agreed.

[@paigel.969]

And, if guitarist, Johnny Marr, does a live show near you.... GO! =)

[@kevcall]

What a great day, doing two Smiths songs :) This track was apparently based on Sandie Shaw’s track ‘Heaven Knows I’m Missing Him Now’... Yeah lots of humour.. Probably not now lol but maybe try 'William, it was really nothing' for an upbeat track..

[@annesmith2259]

I think William it was really nothing was about Billy McKenzie from the Associates… I heard it somewhere

[@kevcall]

@@annesmith2259 yeah I think you're right. Loved party fears two.. Never understood it lol. Interestingly, the Associates’ replied with ‘Stephen, You Were Really Something’ which was recorded in 1993 but not released until 2000..

[@tjames4025]

Outro in this song is amazing.

[@bgray625]

I saw this reaction video and and I watched this reaction video and heaven knows I'm miserable now...

[@greghansell5115]

For the best of Morrissey's lyrical/poetic ability, I think you can't go past 'There is a Light that Never Goes Out' by The Smiths. That song for me is the stand out in their catalogue, not just lyrically but musically. Stop me if you think....is another great song you may wish to review.

[@clare1061]

Graduated 1980 just south of Detroit and moved to Houston Texas 1982. Some roommates of mine I head down there were real big into the Smith, XTC, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel etc. There’s some really good music come out of this era. Listen to the duet with Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush called “Don’t give up“ it will blow your mind.

[@amyk9175]

Did you ever see the Judy’s down in Houston? They were big mid to late 80s in Texas with the underground/ college age bracket.

[@clare1061]

@@amyk9175 nope I didn’t

[@peterreist2882]

Def my favorite Smiths album

[@petrichor649]

Great review, thanks Man

[@RandomJane104]

Have you done any Echo & The Bunnymen? I can't listen to The Smiths without migrating to Echo & The Bunnymen. Another iconic British band with spectacular guitar and bass...and unique vocals.

[@allisonreed7682]

Though many of their songs reek heavily of malcontentment, I love The Smiths and their music. They have a bevy of great songs. One of my favorites is “Panic.”

[@greghansell5115]

This ranks highly for me amongst The Smith's catalogue. Not sure it would make my top 10, but definitely top 20.

[@clare1061]

The Smiths did a song called “how soon is now“ that was used in a movie called the craft about four young witches.

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

I like the line they would make Caligula blush. To those of you who don't know Caligula was one of the v most cruel Roman emperors It would take a lot to make Caligula blush ! They must be bad to Morrisey

[@rydelldownward7808]

Marr is one of the greats. Nothing like him.

[@neilmccarthy5102]

How about ‘Barbarianism begins at home’ as a tribute to Andy Rouke … a track that (I feel) showcases his talents . RIP Andy

[@deanrolph6912]

Really need to listen to mr blue sky after a dose of the Smiths.

[@paigel.969]

So enjoying The Smiths reviews, and you! Maybe try~Last night I dreamt somebody loved me, what difference does it make, please, please, please let me get what I want, death of a disco dancer, meat is murder(pretty chilling) Other band ideas- Sugarcubes ~Birthday ***TuneYards~POWA, Bizness Billie Holiday~any of her songs=) ELO~agree with a comment below! Mr. Blue Sky!! ☮️❤️ Keep up the terrific work!

[@RiverOfBlacklights]

I'm really enjoying your reaction videos. If I may, may I suggest that you please react to The Smiths song, _'Well I Wonder'_ if you get the chance? I think you'll really enjoy that one. Not one of their most popular but every bit a hidden gem in their catalog...

[@amyk9175]

I don’t like everything by The Smiths, but I have always loved this song. I’m one of the weird ones that feel How Soon is Now is not their best.

[@SilentAssassin01234]

How Soon Is Now is great but defo not their best. That would go without a doubt to There Is A Light That Never Goes Out in my opinion.

[@kevcall]

@@SilentAssassin01234 agreed, go and see The Smyths tribute band if you ever get the chance and have a good sing-along to that with like-minded people..

[@greghansell5115]

Then I'm also a 'weird one'. TIALTNGO is much much better IMO. It has a timeless quality to it, whereas HSIN is undoubtedly '80s...

[@thoru4367]

You should do some lesser known songs by them

[@williampearson9679]

Have you forgotten about the Moody Blues?

[@rydelldownward7808]

I’d recommend others, but it’s so hard to pick.

[@deanmaynard8256]

The Smirhs are usually considered one of the Holy Trinity of 80s music (along with the Cure and Depeche Mode)
