- What can you say about this song except…gorgeous.
From Wikipedia:
"That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths. The full length version of the song appears on the album Meat Is Murder, and was the sole track from the album to be released, in edited form, as a UK single. The song was composed by guitarist Johnny Marr and singer Morrissey. Marr has cited it as one of his favourite Smiths songs.”
Lyrics:
“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” - Hudba
This is unbelievable. Your acoustic Smiths covers are easily the best I've come across. They are full of passion and heart and remind me just why I love their songs. Thank you Adam!
Unbelievably good aren't they
spot on!
If I could play the song like that and sing I would do nothing else all day.
FACTS!
Oh, hell yeah. Adam Barrett is my favorite cover artist and overall upcoming artist.
Thanks Thomas, that warms my heart! 😎❤️
@@Adam_Barrett You're very welcome. You got them talents, man.
Agreed man
You really capture Morrissey’s energy without resorting to parody or imitation. I think this is genuinely brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant cover of my favourite Smith’s Song 👍
Thanks Denny! That means a lot to me!
I have mainly seen your stuff from a few years ago and it makes me glad to see you still putting stuff out. You are the perfect combonation of Morrisey and Johnny Marr. You are The Smith.
I have no adjectives left for you. Thanks again. You make Me Feel
you're the only person ive subbed to for their covers. you're just sooo good man, keep it up
same 🤘 this guy is so good
That means a lot to me so thank you very very much 😎
Same here!!
Same here. I've been listening more to Adam Smith lately than Johhny and Morrissey Smith.
Same goes for me
This has the same vibes that the original. I will never be tired of saying this, great as always adam
Brilliant cover of an all time classic…sends tingles down my spine👍
Ohhh my men, thats sooo nice. Thank you thank you!!!!!!!
Favorite Smiths song. You do it so well.
Simplesmente lindo a forma que toca essa linda canção dos the smiths 😉
Awesome!
I got into your channel through your ''the cure'' covers. I especially like your guitar playing, and your voice is really solid i think. I have a feeling you would do a good cover of ''drunk drivers/killer whales'' by car seat headrest. I don't know if you do requests but there you go haha. Also more Alice in Chains could be cool, you did great with nutshell. Anyway i hope you keep going and you have fun with what you do.
Thanks so much, appreciate the requests! I’m going to be taking a break for a while but I’ll make sure to add these to my list ✌️
Wow that was really awesome! I could hear that last part in a loop for hours, so good!
Thanks so much man! Such a haunting outro
Another great cover Adam and a top start to the year 🔥
Thanks my friend, happy new year! 😎
Soooo good
Thank you! 🙏🙏
HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD THIS IS PERFECT
You are phenomenal
wow, what a cover man. great work.
Lovely 👏
Frankly Mr. Barrett, you're quite brilliant!
this is GREAT!!!!! your voice and skills are wonderful
You're still great mate. Keep up the good work.
I mean this in the most respectful way possible but you are far too talented both with your playing and singing to not be taking it to the next level and releasing music of your own. Every one of your covers blow me away and are so unlike others that feel like imitation while yours genuinely capture the mood and feeling of the original.
Just wonderful …
You've only gone and bloody done it. Thanks mate. It's even better than I thought it would be. I'll have to find another song to hassle you to do now 🤣
Far and away the best Smiths covers on CZcams. Great work sir 👍
Your Smiths covers have encouraged me to learn some new songs on guitar although this looks beyond my amateur ability.
Another top notch cover. 👍
These harmonies are incredible 😍😳
Dude, this is first class…
Beautiful, I couldn't keep the tears in.
Really glad you enjoyed it ✌️
Bro. So fucking good!!
Amazing! COuld you do a quick little tutorial of how you play it ? :))
tier s cover. best rendition i heard yet
You really are my favorite. God bless you
Damn dude! This is so good. I checked out the rest of your smiths covers and they’re all spot on. Wow!
hats off from Asheville NC .
Such a beautiful cover, Adam. As per usual, you've got me weepy with those highs. Absolutely love this song.
This gave me chills. Well-done!
I could gladly listen to you cover every Smiths song 👍
Great performance Adam! Brilliant!
One of my faves...
Take me back 35 years
This song is so clever...the guitar line, the rhythms and phrasing are the work of creative genius. Kudos to you, Adam, for your incredible rendition.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful!
Awesome as always
Appreciate it 🙏
Such a great cover Adam u honestly have the best voice and guitar 🎸 is awesome
Fabulous 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Quelle intensité tout en contrôle ..bravo !!!
Just completely get lost (transported) in the chords, the poetry, the singing, the playing....this is absolutely transcendent!
Keep playing. You touch my heart with every song.
Fuckin awesome cover dude. By far the best I’ve heard. From heavily studying johnnys guitar riffs let’s me relise how hard it is to play but to add the Morrissey aneurism and great singing just tops it. Spot on 👌🏻
Love it as usual mate
Top man lyrics and playing, you make it look easy , thanks for sharing
I don’t mean to be weird but i freaking love your videos. This video is amazing.
Another Smiths favorite! I mean… all Smiths songs are great, IMO, but the last two you covered are just the tops.
Sounds amazing ✌🏼
Fantastic. Great talent
Up to your usual standards! I've been struggling with playing/singing the chorus simultaneously, you do it without effort so it would seem, very inspiring!
Absolutely fantastic…and I hope some of the listeners know some of this chords are tricky…and to put down pitch perfect vocals on top…dam cheers mate
Bruh. That was phenomenal
My god your falsetto's are on point, you capture the Morrisey energy just the right way. Your voice is amazing and the way you play just create that perfectly balanced guitar + voice harmony. Keep doing what you do man.
A parte do "kick 'em when they fall down" me ganhou, muito foda! Bem melódico e fiel a o que tem de melhor na original
I understand you get many song requests Adam, but I would love to see you do a cover of the great(est) Liverpool band; The Coral. I feel that their vibes are just up your alley and the stuff you usually cover. And if I could be even more cheeky, I would suggest one following songs; "Jacqueline", "put the sun back", "she's comin' around" or "being somebody else".
Johnny Marr in the flesh. Nice cover!!
Perfect
Thanks Luiza!
First time that I stumbled upon your music/covers.. and what can I this. Your voice, your guitar playing and the passion you've showed whilst playing is unbelievable. I can't remember watching someone covering that good, amazing man!
Beautiful
This is wonderful !! Hello from Tahiti 🌴

One of my favorite Smiths songs. Such a perfect acoustic cover. ❤️ Much love.

Dear Adam, you are a unique talent. Everything you do is stunning. You are WAY above the level of a bedroom cover song performer, as your videos seems to depict you. I'd love to see you get a break and make a successful mainstream career in music and performance. You've got the talent for sure, AND your choice of music for your covers is just spot on! Thank you.
That was absolutely awesome...I could listen to you all day long Adam...
Good job
Absolutely brilliant!
All of the Smiths albums Meat is Murder is clearly the best to me. So unique sounding. Great cover also.
