to see a young black man, as yourself. to be touched by the Smiths,...it just touches my heart and soul...in the 80''s they were so special to me, and so many other "offbeat" people...Morrissey, the lead singer, was kinda like a guru for the misfits of the world....the music was haunting, rocking, and so deep, his poetry was inspiring...emotionally charging, and seemed to express what we sometimes found hard to express for ourselves.....you can go down a very deep, and sometimes dark, rabbit hole with them, but..STOP ME IF YOU HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE!!!

He‘s still around and I also like his solo records. He had phases of deep depression, but managed to deal with it.

[@bifftv1975]

Spot on. I think a lot of people who don't like the Smiths just hear a whiny voice and a depressed outloook on life but in reality, Morrisey is taking the piss out of our and his feelings but also bringing a realness to the confusion and sillyness that we all face and then has the skill, as do the band, to bring it into something that is poetic and musically beautiful at the same time. One of the most gifted bands to ever grace a recording studio.

[@dmn23]

@Random Scottish Guy - Completely agreed. He's an insufferable, colossal tool. But the Smiths catalog has some remarkable moments and it's helpful for someone who's unfamiliar with the band to get a sense of where Morrissey was coming from.

This song got stuck in my head for 3 months straight a few years ago. It was relentless. Driving to work? Cooking dinner? In the shower? Waking in the middle of the night to turn over? “AND IF A DOUBLE DECKER BUUUUUS....” Sometimes if you have an ear worm you can make it go away by listening to the song start to finish, but nope. It only intensified in my damn brain every time I’d try it (and I tried a lot). Just something about Morrissey’s voice and those strings. Although even after those three months I can still say I love this song. How Soon is Now would be a great #2!

There's a nice anecdote about Morrisey (lead vocals) asked about a band doing a cover another Smith's song: The [russian] duo t.A.T.u. had some success with their own 2002 cover; asked about it by interviewer Andrew Harrison, Morrissey declared it “magnificent,” but admitted he didn’t know much about the group. Told that they were teenage Russian lesbians, Morrissey replied, “Well, aren’t we all?” - Source: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/flashback-the-smiths-play-an-epic-version-of-how-soon-is-now-38951/

This song is from "The Queen Is Dead" - my favorite of The Smiths' albums. The next song I would suggest from this album is "The Boy With the Thorn In His Side." Another good one is "Cemetry Gates." From singer Morrissey as a solo artist, I really like "Everyday Is Like Sunday."

Great choice. The Smiths were beloved of students and alternative types in the 80s. If someone says they don't like The Smiths - and there will be a few - then they're almost certainly a philistine with no musical taste. Check out also This Charming Man, Panic, Sheila Take A Bow, Heaven knows I'm Miserable Now, Ask, Hand In Glove and Please Please Let Me Get What I Want. Another band from that era (and the same city of Manchester) is New Order. And if you really want to delve deep there is a band called Electronic, formed by Johhny Marr (lead guitarist and composer of The Smiths) and Bernard Sumner of New Order.

The first time I took notice of the Smiths was when a friend had to review the new release (This Charming Man) for his university paper, it stayed on the turntable for many hours... Morrissey is a songwriter and vocalist that is on the next level... 'This Charming Man', 'Girlfriend In A Coma', 'Cemetry Gates', 'How Soon Is Now' are all worthy of reaction but his solo masterpiece 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' is my pick for next reaction... Again Morrissey/Smiths have a large body of work with classics littered on every album, sometimes it is only classics on the albums... Good reaction...

Incredible band. Great lyrics, so you may want the lyrics versions. They always sound so melancholic for me. But i like it. Very unique singer in Morrissey. I would recommend "The Queen is Dead", "How soon is now?" and maybe "I know it's over" but only if you want to hear one of the saddest songs ever. Many other great ones. Almost all of the songs are huge grower, especially this one.

My favourite band as a youngster in Manchester in the 80's. Johnny Marr is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. My cousin was in Johnny Marr's class at school and I used to sit just a few rows from him at Manchester City FC games. Two guys who drink in my families pub were classmates of lead singer Morrissey. Plenty of their songs were written just a few hundred metres from the pub when I lived their as a teenager, according to Johnny Marr in an interview in 2018. The Manchester/Irish connection with 3 of the band members was also a huge influence. Sounds like Greater Manchester is a small City but its 2.5 million people. I was just lucky enough to grow up in an area where the sports and tv stars live. I still see Johnny Marr every so often, driving his classic car or running near my house. Just in the last 7 days the pub has had a former PGA and Masters Golfer, former England World Cup winning Rugby player, former England Cricketer and former Manchester United and 90+ capped International Ireland footballer (soccer). Meeting Tyson Fury and Ricky Hatton in the pub were my personal highlights along with the night the Manchester City players came in to celebrate winning the Premier League in 2018. Steven Speilberg came in around 1986, during the filming of Empire of the Sun, when I was 14ish. I was at school though and missed him, gutted. Your need to come to Manchester Jayzee, your reactions have reignited my youth. You would feel right at home. Best reactions on youtube by a mile.

Still a favorite. Morrissey has had a great solo career. Try how soon is how, this charming man.

My favorite band! Been listening to Louder Than Bombs a lot recently, especially You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby and This Night Has Opened My Eyes. Great music, glad you enjoyed it!

Great band supporting him. Very British.

Morrissey is the original sad sack ;) but so good! Listen to more Smiths and you'll get it...

[@dog_backwards]

I didn't find this music until just a couple years ago and when your drunk and in pain on a night when people have abandoned you these songs are extremely emotional

[@Azer182x]

As a massive Smiths fan it was brilliant to watch just how much you enjoyed that
