The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make? (Official Music Video)

[@gigi0372]

I can honestly say this song was a defining point in my childhood. It was ‘84 and I was 12. I was at my best friend Sandy’s house when all of a sudden I hear this guitar riff and Morrissey’s distinct voice coming out of her older sister Marie’s room. I immediately ask Sandy what Marie was playing and she shrugged so I went to Marie’s room and stood by her door as she was applying her eyeliner in the mirror and singing along. I saw the Hatful of Hollow album cover on her bed and asked her what she was listening to. She casually replied “The Smiths” and I made a mental note. That moment in Marie’s room changed me. The sound was unlike anything I had ever heard before. l literally felt hypnotized and I had a weird sense that I would never be the same again. Like all of a sudden I felt older and wiser. I eventually got the record a few weeks later and have been listening to it ever since. I’m 50 now and I’ll never forget the feeling of hearing The Smiths for the first time.

I can't believe Morrissey and Marr don't like this song. I've always loved it, especially the falsetto at the end, the lyrics, and how hard hitting it is. This version is already great, but then the Peel/Hatful of Hollow version blows it away (in my opinion) and that was a live performance!

[@panterxbeats]

"Morrissey has stated on more than one occasion that "What Difference Does It Make?" is among his least favourite Smiths songs. He picked on the "rockist" influences and the "cliche" lyrics in particular, saying he "regretted the track the day after the record was pressed". Marr has similarly voiced his cynicism, stating "I didn't think it was a particularly strong one....There was one stage where I was playing [What Difference Does It Make?] seven or eight gigs on the trot and I didn't like the feeling. I knew that this was not why I had got involved in a band in the first place." I don't see it at all

[@thedon9247]

Wish i could've experienced the 80's and 90's for myself. Such a great era for music, and style.

[@bobdoubter2977]

Coolest band from the 80's...because they didn't try to be.

[@right740]

Bob Doubter exactly. They were just a student band

[@timgamlin7861]

"Our message is that you don't have to be cool" - Morrissey.

[@SagradaMascarita]

I think that honor goes to REM but Smith's are right up there.

[@Asklepios27]

One of the most genuine bands I have ever heard.

[@browbeat4562]

Best Smiths Song ever.

[@vordman]

I'm on a Smiths marathon. I seriously haven't come across a single track I don't love.

[@mikaelsjoberg1894]

Thats a good comment!...❤‍🔥

[@antionettemoore9291]

absolutely every song is a masterpiece

[@ek7899]

WAS THAT THE DAB at 2:04

[@noneya7910]

I saw that too!!

[@nicolasmb2457]

HOLY SHIET

[@LaytonMathieson]

Mozza dabbed before it was a thing. How did he know?

[@LaytonMathieson]

Hugh jazz totally not racist there... I'm just going to saying right here right now. If you don't want people calling you racist, don't post a comment that will more than likely get you in shit. Just warning you before the hurricane of "You're racist" comments come to you.

[@LaytonMathieson]

Hugh jazz calm down. As I said, I was just warning you

[@cardiovas.curder]

Moz was superb his voice had paradise in it ❤🎉

[@giorgosmazarakis7854]

What a great song... Born in 1979

[@xtaypiex]

I envy every person who was a teen/adult at this time!

[@chiaracostantino4176]

Morrissey is such a charming man

[@shaungilmartin1505]

See what u did there

[@gigirauchut1882]

Not really but I got the joke

[@berenicejimenez3459]

Gigi Rauchut y do u disagree?

[@gigirauchut1882]

Berenice Jimenez he’s not a good man. I mean I love his music and his voice but everything else about him is just ugh

[@HipixOFFICIAL]

Trust me, he's a douche

[@thomasdonnelly3263]

Let's be honest, it's THAT guitar riff.

[@judepatrick4267]

Thomas Donnelly marrs just absolute class

[@chinniaanya136]

Yes.. Its a magic and how it blends with vocals... Amazing

[@MrDayjur]

Absolutely ,the genius of Johnny Marr!

[@jgalt5002]

YES

[@paulhagen5645]

Yes. That's it. It's great.

[@michellewhittaker2135]

Rest in peace Andy Rourke 💜🌹💜

[@billthomas9778]

Wow! His voice is so powerful it can carry over the sound of the instruments and audience without a mic. That's talent.

[@Me-ji2pn]

It’s lip synced as were most performances on top of the pops

[@AM-le7eh]

That feeling you get when you listen to a song which brings memories and it feels as if it put you back in time...... Wow.

[@Contrariwise37]

Can we all just take a step back for a moment to marvel at how attractive Morrissey is in this video

[@SpectreEelman]

indeed

[@ripnecco5477]

Is lesbian, still thinks Morrissey is a sex god

[@GrungeGirl83]

He's attractive to me in every video

[@matthewwalker962]

Ness Si I'm straight.. and I think he's the sexiest man ever to live.

[@dixiecup343]

He was a beautiful, enigmatic man.

[@borntolose_livetowin]

When listening to The Smiths or David Bowie, I get nostalgic and in my head, I walk down the streets of London. Great times:)

[@nonanona-zz6se]

Every now and again, if I'm feeling a bit angsty (as happens to us all from time to time) I give this a blast. It disperses the pent up frustrations and sounds fantastic and makes feel 17 again all at once. An ear kissing, anger venting, nostalgia inducing tonic. Long live The Mozzer and Marr!

[@100日後に脱獄するマイケル]

All men have secrets and here is mine So let it be known For we have been through hell and high tide I can surely rely on you And yet you start to recoil Heavy words are so lightly thrown But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you 誰にでも秘密はある、もちろん僕にだって それじゃあ教えてやろうか 僕らは地獄も荒波も越えてきたわけだし、 だから君のことは信じてもいいと思ったんだ だけど君は尻込みしだして キツい言葉をそんなにも簡単に投げつけてくる でも僕は君のためなら今だって、襲いかかる銃弾の前に飛び出せるよ So, what difference does it make ? So, what difference does it make ? It makes none But now you have gone And you must be looking very old tonight だから何だって言うんだ？ だからどうなるって言うんだ？ どうもなりはしない でも君は去って行った 君は今夜ずいぶん老けて見えるだろうよ The devil will find work for idle hands to do I stole and I lied, and why ? Because you asked me to ! But now you make me feel so ashamed Because I've only got two hands Well, I'm still fond of you 怠け者の手は悪魔のために働く 僕は盗み、嘘をついた、なぜか？ 君がやれって言ったからさ！ でも今僕はすごく残念に思ってるよ、 ２つしか手がないのをさ まあね、僕はまだ君を好きなんだよ So, what difference does it make ? Oh, what difference does it make ? It makes none But now you have gone And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight だから何だって言うんだ？ だからどうなるって言うんだ？ どうもなりはしない でも君は去って行った その偏見のために、君は今夜どんなに凍えるだろう Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do I stole, and then I lied Just because you asked me to But now you know the truth about me You won't see me anymore Well, I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh 怠け者の手は悪魔のために働く 僕は盗み、嘘をついた 君がやれって言ったからさ でも君は本当の僕を知ってしまった で、僕なんかに二度と会うものかと思う でもね、僕はまだ君を好きなんだよ But no more apologies No more, no more apologies Oh, I'm too tired I'm so sick and tired And I'm feeling very sick and ill today But I'm still fond of you だけど、もう謝るのはやめてくれよ もうこれ以上、悪かっただなんて言わないでくれよ とにかく疲れたんだ、 疲れたし最悪の気分だ 本当に今日ばかりは最低最悪だよ でも君のことはまだ好きだよ Oh, my sacred one! 君は僕の手には届かないんだな！

[@salima8407]

I love the way he dances. The definition of cool. :)

[@larsfillmore4765]

Love love love his falsetto. This sounds better now than it did when it came out.

[@gezman65]

Went to see them in Reading in 1985. What memories.

[@loganziola2839]

Jake buggs kingpin sounds like what diff does it make liston to it

[@craigs4367]

[@samanthafoster6154]

Summer of 1984, I was 11, my 17yr old sister used to blast this album love you sis ❤️❤️xxx

[@arthurthistlewood1225]

55 year old here. The Smiths provided exactly what I needed at exactly the right time in my life. Feel so lucky.

[@aeropilot4419]

❤

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

Looking back, I remember how the Smiths sound, look, and sensibility stood out from the rest of the popular music of the early 80s, even by Brit Pop/Rock standards they were just more unique in their own way. What a marriage of sound and lyric that could only have been realized by Marr, Morrissey, Rourke, and Joyce.

[@voltra.118]

That riff is soooooooooooooooooo GOOD
