The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (Official Audio)

[@tianaw1nxm]

"To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die" The saddest compliment.

[@tianaw1nxm]

@Derek Navarro Yes, from a different perspective I completely agree

[@DrunkGnu]

Sherlock Whovian yeah. it’s like a, “wherever I end up after I close my eyes. I hope it’s by your side.” compliment, something about it just makes me feel warm inside.

[@JoachimMoeller]

I'm not sure either way, but if I had to go prematurely I can see the romantic part of both our parachutes and reserve parachutes failing and we hit the ground holding each other. Wait, am I being too morbid again?

One time I was in a coffee shop at 10 at night, during a thunderstorm, when this song came on the radio. I put away what I was doing. I soaked in the experience. I'm pretty sure my life peaked at that moment. The music washed around me, harmonizing with the drama of the thunder and lightning surrounding the shop. All the others in the coffeeshop looked perfectly in place. I at that time was trying to escape an argumentative mother and a family too chaotic to enjoy. For the few minutes this song played, everything made sense.

That synth also somehow beautifully captures the feeling of being in a car with lights flashing past the window, or lights on the road in the distance, as you’re inside the dark car, being driven through the night. You can feel the life of people “out there”, with those lights in the distance or lights passing, but your own life in the car with that special person is like a secret just for you two.

My girlfriend / wife has sent this song to me before we started a relationship. At this time, we liked The Smiths already and specially "The Queen is Dead" album. But I don't realized what she wanted to mean with a melancholic song like this. "Hear it, my love". She told me that all the time. So, a little time after, reading the lyrics with attention and enjoying the beautiful melodies of Johnny's guitar, I finaly understanded that was a very beautiful and true love declaration, in her way, surely. So, every time I hear it, I remember her. This song makes me cry in a good way. It's a therapy for my soul - and my love confidence. Love you and miss you every day, Evy. You're my life!

She was not herself anymore, and she just wanted to get out of there. We put music on and this song was the first one being played.
