I used to date a guy…….. who was a DJ. He had a huge vinyl collection! He knew how much I loved Morrissey, Soo He played this song for me every morning to wake me up when I would spend the night at his house. He was the first one to play this song for me! I thought that I knew all of Morrisey’s and Smith ‘s music, but this was a B-side that I totally missed. Whenever I would spend the night at his house, he would wake me up with this song, and it brings back all the feels!!!!!

Usually early in the morning I wake up the girl in bed with me in a total different way Still B side though But hey …that’s me lmao

[@22yotachuck28]

The Smith's weren't so much as a band but a state of mind- an outlook. They captured the spectrum of passion inside us as youths in a way you could savor it -over time like a jolly rancher vs a Hershey's kiss (gone in a second). I'm 48 now and much of that soulfull kid has vanished due to the trials and tribulations of life, however Everytime I here their music, a tiny drop of that emotion runs through my bloodstream ever so subtlety. I'm glad I was part of those times, and I feel fortunate life hasn't complely numbed my soul. YOUTH OF TODAY HEAR ME CLEARLY- BOTTLE THAT PASSION AND IF YOU CAN NEVER LET IT GO.!! You make think it will be like this forever but it won't.....

[@victoralbergaria]

Why do people talk a lot about Moz and Marr, but cruelly forget to mention the awesome job from Andy and Mike? It's really rare to see their names on the comments. Sad, but true. Whatever, it's a masterpiece. Really wanted to have lived the Smiths in their time. My favorite band ever!

[@ronanferguson91]

In fairness as much as I like Andy, I don't think Mike is a nearly good enough drummer to be mentioned in the same breath as Morrissey (one of the greatest lyricists and vocalists in the history of pop music) and Marr who is one of the most influential guitarists of all time

[@cbar0x]

+Victor Albergaria Cause Johnny (Fuckin') Marr is the real powerhouse of the Smiths sound. He wrote all the bass parts, too. I'd personally love to see him playing with Morrissey once again.

In the summer of 87, I was studying film at the University of London. It was my first time out of the United States. I played this about 200 times during that time in a pub called The Yorkshire Grey, near Fitzroy Square. Pretty sure that jukebox and the local patrons were sick of me. I've never been sick of this song. Johnny Marr's guitar sound on this is one for the ages.

This was actually their biggest hit, and yet it's only had 1M views compared to "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" which has 31M. Fantastic song with some 70's glam rock undertones to it. Love the guitar thrashing in the intro, especially. :-)

[@dariowestern]

@@antonioluna4518 I know, because I am a Smiths fan. It reached No.10 in the UK Top 40, the band's highest chart position (a tie with "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now") and in Ireland it reached No.3 in the Top 40 - the highest chart position that they got anywhere. This does not count the specialised UK 'indie' charts where several of their singles reached No.1 in.

Mike Joyce sets the perfect groove for ALL Smiths songs. People who are saying he plays simple parts are full of it. Every one of his fills is perfectly laid out, and his grooves are utterly infectious. They would not have become famous without him. Fine maybe someone else could've done it. I'm not so sure on all songs, like this one, and Stop Me If You've Heard This, and How Soon Is Now. Bigmouth Strikes again on drums and bass? PLEASE RECREATE THAT, BIG MOUTHS! You can really hear the difference when others cover their songs. I'm not diminishing the massive talents of Morrissey Marr, but Joyce and Rourke (also integral) deserved at least SOME publishing in my mind. No fricking doubt about it.

[@iantodd1260]

It,s my one regret that I didn,t see The Smiths at Sheffield City Hall in 1985 I was an out and out U2 fan ( I,m cured now!).The Smiths as the NME so gloriously demonstrated captured the zeitgeist of the 80s - perfect indy pop! Morrissey and Co. we salute you!
