Such a great song, thank you Rex for uploading the 12'' version. I have to agree with the comment section the music was better in the 80s, so eclectic in the UK charts we had music from : The Cocteau Twins, Echo & The Bunnymen,The Cure, Joy division, John Cooper Clarke etc etc.

I graduated High School in 1984. The Smiths were of my top fav bands...but this song spoke to me like no other. Teen angst and such, but so appropriate. Right to the heart.

I died in 1894 for a few minutes. When I woke up on Xmas day in the hospital this was the first song I heard on the radio. Over the years I've actually grown quite fond of it, as it is one of THE songs of the 80s and my teens.

How long you been a vampire? What killed you in 1894? A wooden stake? Did they just remove it and you came back to life? I need to know!!

@@CordellPotts 1984suicide overdose, I was dead for a few minutes in an ambulance, woke up xmas morning in hospital. My birthfather was called Karol Lambrino and I was born in Ireland, but I'm the firstborn eldest male so I am actually the Dracul. Not a vampire, but do have an extreme garlic allergy. I wore a crucifix, as a irish roman catholic until I was 18 so no burny burny there. Unfortunately I look like my ancestor Vlad and do creep the fuck out of most folk.🖖

@@KieranSearleTheDracul Oh damn dude... I was joking bout the typo. I'm sorry, truly. Hey man, I'm 46 and I still fight that feeling.. I thank the Gods that I've got people who need me and love me now. It wasn't always that way though, I've dealt with the burden of knowing the true weight that we all carry since I was young. Some folks call it depression, I think it's more of a lack of ability to lie to yourself about the way the world is.

Being alive then at 26, i didnt have time to listen to music and with people my own age. Lost on a career during the time of AIDS. Years later at 66, this haunting hungry music fills the gap between now and who I've always been. No tune like it anywhere meant to stand out and be heard. Time is relative.

56 here still love this. I don’t think that The Smiths and Morrisseys got the recognition they deserved - they opened the floodgates for a huge number of successful bands.
