When I was 17 and my Pops was very ill, I used to listen to this and I physically felt like I was being put into ice cold water. It had that visceral an effect on me. Powerful song.
Morrissey's storytelling skills are superb. Johnny makes the guitar shimmer. Andy and Mike are always strong. Gannon was a good addition. The Smiths forever!
When I first heard this, I thought it was clever...but lately... it seems to be happening a lot more nowadays. Thank goodness for Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy, and Mike. I think Gannon is on this version too. "It doesn't make me smile I wish I could laugh But that joke isn't funny anymore It's too close to home And it's too near the bone "
This is freaking me out played on headphones because it sounds like Morrissey is standing next to my bed singing directly into my ear. I don't know how to explain
Park the car at the side of the road You should know Time's tide will smother you And I will too When you laugh about people who feel so Very lonely Their only desire is to die Well, I'm afraid It doesn't make me smile I wish I could laugh But that joke isn't funny anymore It's too close to home And it's too near the bone It's too close to home And it's too near the bone More than you'll ever know ... Kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down You kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down You kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down You kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down It was dark as I drove the point home And on cold leather seats Well, it suddenly struck me I just might die with a smile on my Face after all I've seen this happen in other people's Lives And now it's happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's Lives And now it's happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's Lives And now it's happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's Lives And now it's happening in mine Oh ...

Still can't get enough of this song after all these years.
Me too. Smashing song and alternative ending
I once gloated at "I've seen this happen..." but alas.
Andy is great as well in this tune, the bass line is fantastic. Andy is really underrate. His work on the songs of the smiths was incredible.
Absolutely agree with you. His bass is very essential in the Smiths' music
I think every band member was/is essential. Andy is underrated.
Ok, but marr write the basslines
@@chrisr7419 no he didn't
What I love about the bass is he plays the notes at the last possible second it hold the song in a melancholy place.
one of the best smiths songs ever.....

Lovely guitar work by Johnny
That guitar.
🎆💞🌿🍃
I was 20 when this came out, feeling intense nostalgia.
Thats the best feeling. And I am 20 now 😁
that guitar solo is amazing

Uma das melhores bandas de todos os tempos!!!!

"It doesn't make me smile
I wish I could laugh
But that joke isn't funny anymore
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
"

You just did
Best 12" ever made by The Smiths.
Class class class Johnnys ending is truly wondeful 3:29
just straight up kill me johnny marr
Love that ending...
Wow how we have forgotten how special this band and the lyrics.
Times tide will smother you...
And I'll too...
Peacock Affect And I will too.
And I will tooooo...
Haunting..
Great song!
joya eterna simplemente genial
Johnny Marr at his best
I’ve seen this happen in other people’s lives, and now it’s happening in mine...
Chimingy is what we want
Good live version. They were a great live band. I'm still hoping for a 40th year reunion possibly. Wouldn't that be a good time for it?
Park the car at the side of the road
You should know
Time's tide will smother you
And I will too
When you laugh about people who feel so
Very lonely
Their only desire is to die
Well, I'm afraid
It doesn't make me smile
I wish I could laugh
But that joke isn't funny anymore
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
More than you'll ever know ...
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
It was dark as I drove the point home
And on cold leather seats
Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my
Face after all
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
Oh ...
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
Oh ...
And now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
Oh...
And now, now, now it's happening in mine
(I've seen this happen)
Happening in mine
Oh...now, now
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
Oh...
And now it's happening in mine
(Happen)
Happening in mine
Oh...
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
Oh...
And now, now, now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine
Mine, mine
Happening in mine
Johnny F'n Marr!!!
muito bom!
Grant on the boards.
JOHNNY FUCKING MARR!!!!
1:53 - 2:10
my favorite part
this song is me if i was a song
"the kick them they fall down" part is the smiths in a nutshell. pure beauty
I just might die with a smile on my face after all ....
Which one person unliked this seriously!
ROBERT DEAN well said! 👍🏻
Dumbs!!
LA Agosto 86???
Where was this version played?
It's from the "Thank Your Lucky Stars" bootleg, 28 August 1986 Irvine Meadows in Laguna Hills, California
@@noahharrell9860 ~Thanks. Morrissey talking to the audience at the end...
I hear two guitar parts. Craig played this one too?
It's quite possible. This was recorded in 1986, which was around the time Craig Gannon entered the band.
Live with Gannon on tour
Who's doing the guitar solo? 🤔
Johnny
Gannon, touring guitarist
Morrisey wouldnt be anything without marr and vice versa.
Wrong
Can someone replace youtubes batteries, the song sounds a bit slow.
That's the way they performed it here. I love it.
Depending on the day or your mood you might say Andy was more important than Johnny.
awful solo but great chordal playing.
yeah that was the point lol..
maverickminstrel i thought the solo was great, simple but when he plays the intervals it really goes with the creepiness of the song
@@justinnep what bits are bad?
@@rainpop3036 I didn't say any of the song was bad
What bit the end?
Chimingy is what we want
It shimmers? Yes, that's Johnny!
