Did he got of any old English book? Perhaps, but it doesn't matter, it's just genius to drop it on this sound. Love it since the day I heard it. Around 32 years ago.
Same. It brings to mind the time I was living with severe anxiety and depression back in about 2006. Everyday was a painful struggle...life was really horrible but I didn't want to die either. So to hear a song that articulated exactly what was going through my mind at the time was very comforting and empowering. It was a cathartic experience. My life did get better by the way.
Yeah, well, this isn't the only awesome bassline by Rourke. "the Queen is Dead" is brilliant just for it's sheer "in-your-faceness". I could go on, but hey, it's New Years Eve, and I must resume drinking.
Hell yeah, a personal favorite of mine would have to be Well I Wonder, with its melodic double stops at the beginning and the awesome licks that happen afterwards, oh and also Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now, so funky
I was (and still am) a massive Smiths fan since about 1985 when I really got into them. I have listened to other bands since and no one can hold a candle to them, no one. I always come back to The Smiths. " Yes I'm older now and a clever swine but they were the only ones who ever really stood by me"
"Nowhere Fast" I'd like to drop my trousers to the world I am a man of means (of slender means) each household appliance is like a new science in my town and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean and when a train goes by it's such a sad sound I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen every sensible child will know what this means the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy on her terms and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean and when a train goes by it's such a sad sound And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie in the middle of the street and die I'd lie down and die
andy roukes's bass is fantastic.... he is so underrated. i remember watching this on the day it was broadcast and i haven't seen it since thx so much for posting i am so happy to see this.. morrissey looks good against the green backdrop
Everything about this is just great... The fuzzy picture quality, lighting on morrissey, johnny marr smoking a cigarette while playing his greenburst tele. would kill to be a fly on the wall during this
This is absolutely classic! They don't even look like something styled from 1984. The Smiths were just so alternative back then. Totally apart from the pack. Moz is my poetic hero, and Johnny (with his classic vintage green Tele) is my guitar hero.
I didn't knew this video. And it's so amazing to see Moz and Marr so young and cool... and all the early 80's stuff such as the big headphones, the recording tape, and the funniest one: Marr is smoking in the video/studio, which is an impossible thing to see today with all the smoking forbiden laws! :P

One of the best, and my favorite Smiths lyric! I just saw Morrissey at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY, love, love, love him and still is everything and more as time goes by!
Love the "Keef" style ciggie hangin' outa Johnny's mouth! He looks the business..Moza too of coarse! But Johnny? Fucking cool as! Ace guitar slinger extraordinaire! Peace to all in cyberspace! xxx
i think nearly everyone has felt that way at one time or another. morrissey does a great job of singing complete nonsense that everyone can relate to. makes you take a second look at your own emotions--it's silly when he sings it, and it's silly when i think it, but i think it nonetheless.
Not that i'm qualified to answer this but. I think he's talking about emotion vs. rational thought process or a sense of second quessing...being in ones head instead of just letting an emotion pass without having to justify it understand it...i don't know. At least thats what it means to me when I think having a hard time having a natural emotion. an unnatural one might be one that your mind could justify rationally? I think i've had unnatural emotions....
1. The Smiths were the first 'indie' band (as opposed to new romantic, punk/new wave leftovers.) Whilst unique I think Pixies, Radiohead, even REM early , have done comparable things too. 2. Name another song with one word for a whole line: par-tic-u-lar-ly 3. Ends on a fantastic Em7 (song in key of Bm)

One of my favourite lines ever in a song " i think about life and I think about death , and neither one particularly appeals to me"
RIGHT ON! That's my all time favorite line!!!
Did he got of any old English book? Perhaps, but it doesn't matter, it's just genius to drop it on this sound. Love it since the day I heard it. Around 32 years ago.
Absolutely
Same. It brings to mind the time I was living with severe anxiety and depression back in about 2006. Everyday was a painful struggle...life was really horrible but I didn't want to die either. So to hear a song that articulated exactly what was going through my mind at the time was very comforting and empowering. It was a cathartic experience.
My life did get better by the way.
@@fliptag
What book?
johnny guitar takin fat cig rips while rippin out quasi-country western riffs hung up on some blues jing jangly
amazing comment, hope youre still out there.
marr always looks just like he plays: unique yet understated, seemingly effortless, utterly cool.
"When I'm lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death... And neither one particularly appeals to me."
ME EITHER.
johnny marr is so cool man. he's influenced so many people with his playing/style and most don't even realize it.
give credit to morrissey, who has undoubtedly captivated more young singers and instrument players than marr has.
@@mini_mozzer I think you underestimate how influential Johnny Marr is, man literally created the blueprints for every indie guitarist since
@@tomdenton.5899 na u right but thats indirectly. moz has more people who actually look up to him
Realise*
one of “rock guitar without distortion or any noise effect” influencer
Can we talk about Rourke's basslines a second
Yeah, well, this isn't the only awesome bassline by Rourke. "the Queen is Dead" is brilliant just for it's sheer "in-your-faceness". I could go on, but hey, it's New Years Eve, and I must resume drinking.
Just listen to the song "Barbarism Begins At Home" and you'll see one of the greatest baselines ever written
The song is by the Smiths by the way
Hell yeah, a personal favorite of mine would have to be Well I Wonder, with its melodic double stops at the beginning and the awesome licks that happen afterwards, oh and also Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now, so funky
thank you
God, the way the light falls on his face, his expression when he sings, so beautiful...
@@davidvasey5065 don’t care.
You can tell everything he has goes into his music. That is not the case very often with today's music.
"and when I'm lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me" - Too real man. Too damn real.
i completely concur that every smiths track is brilliant, never made a dud record, truly remakable band
I was (and still am) a massive Smiths fan since about 1985 when I really got into them. I have listened to other bands since and no one can hold a candle to them, no one. I always come back to The Smiths. " Yes I'm older now and a clever swine but they were the only ones who ever really stood by me"
Yeeah, I see what you did with the last line. Nice reference.
Rubber Ring is my joint favourite Smiths song....along with What Difference Does It Make?
Nowhere Fast is a close third.
Johnny also holds the record for making a cigarette last the longest! 😂
"Nowhere Fast"
I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means (of slender means)
each household appliance
is like a new science in my town
and if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump
in the ocean
and when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound
I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
every sensible child will know what this means
the poor and the needy
are selfish and greedy on her terms
and if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump
in the ocean
and when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound
And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life
and I think about death
and neither one particularly appeals to me
and if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
in the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die
Its amazing how the smiths are as utterly potent 21 years after they split up, classic tune, amazing band.
32 now :(
True art is immortal
33...
Glastonbury 2023 - The Blossoms & Rick Astley (yep) nailed it !!
i literally discovered them last year. music is timeless
andy roukes's bass is fantastic.... he is so underrated.
i remember watching this on the day it was broadcast and i haven't seen it since thx so much for posting i am so happy to see this.. morrissey looks good against the green backdrop
mister clem, I think the drummer is equally as underated and the bassist
no one can play guitar like johnny marr, johnny marr cant even play like johnny marr
He is awesome and unique. in my top 4 favorite guitarist ever with David G. Jimmy H. and jERRY g.
man's a fucking wizard!
In the words of Noel Gallagher.
I love this night has opened my eyes. Amazing song.
Alright Noel
god Johnny Marr is like the coolest person ever
One of the best youtube videos ever, long live Morrisey and Marr
Everything about this is just great... The fuzzy picture quality, lighting on morrissey, johnny marr smoking a cigarette while playing his greenburst tele. would kill to be a fly on the wall during this
This is absolutely classic! They don't even look like something styled from 1984. The Smiths were just so alternative back then. Totally apart from the pack. Moz is my poetic hero, and Johnny (with his classic vintage green Tele) is my guitar hero.
80s School Teacher: There’s nothing cool about smoking just say no
Kid: You clearly haven’t seen Jonny Marr in the nowhere fast vid
There's no such thing as a top list of favorite smiths songs.when there all good
The musicianship is simply wonderous, the deity which is johnny marr, the mellifluous voice of Morrissey, my favourite smiths record
Every smiths record is my favourite haha
Why is he so beautiful in this 😭❤
Yesterday I saw a country dance group rehearsing a number within this tune.
Oh, yes. In Brazil 🤠
One of their best......an underrated gem
I've never seen a telecaster anywhere else that looks like that. Makes me go wild.
This song has a bad ass rhythm
Probably my favorite song of all time
I've played this video about 10 in a row already!
one of my faves by far
Johnny makes it look so darn easy!
God, Morrissey is beautiful.
Definitely one of my favorite songs by them. It's also one of my most favorite songs ever. It's simply brilliant all-around.
Favourite*
@@jfluffydog2110this was 16 years ago
Morrissey is SO beautiful in this video.
Yes 💯
this song in particular is one of the most amazing i ever heard,everything is perfect and total!!
My favorite is Headmaster Ritual. That song is fucking out of this world.
This is one of my favorite CZcams uploads since CZcams started.
marr lookin cool af, smokin while jamming
From 1:37 onwards this song moves in to a different gear
I didn't knew this video. And it's so amazing to see Moz and Marr so young and cool... and all the early 80's stuff such as the big headphones, the recording tape, and the funniest one: Marr is smoking in the video/studio, which is an impossible thing to see today with all the smoking forbiden laws! :P
He is the best!
Marr e' eccezionale in questo pezzo, l'esecuzione alla chitarra e' favolosa... un mito!
too cool for words, miss this band

These 4 guy made magic together
Moz looks amazing in this video! :D
Thanks for this amazing video. one of best songs ever!
Disco excelente ,de uma época mágica!
"...and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion, I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump to the ocean..." -_-
Morrissey & Marr .... Doesn’t get any better
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 forever the smiths the best band from england
Previlegio meu ter vivido os anos 80" e ate os dias de hoje ver asimiradores desta ícone banda.
I am a man of memes, of slender memes
thanks for ruining the song forever
@@christopherrodrigues9347 cry little charmander
you are a disgrace
I can’t unhear that and it’s laughable. Moz would approve
o m g i can't unhear it anymore
wonderful, brilliant, musicanship, best band in the world,]no band like them, carr, steven patrick, rourke, love them, love, love
great song BEST ALBUM! well i wonder utterly,utterly fine!
I fucking miss this band so much!
Andy Rourke is just fucking awesome in this Song!
Thanks for posting this amazing video. One of the best songs ever!
and if the day came when i felt a natural emotion, id get such a shock id probably jump in the ocean
I love that song.
Morrissey maravilhoso, como sempre... e o cara da guitarra não deixa o cigarro cair kkkkk
Still love this after all this time...
i think nearly everyone has felt that way at one time or another. morrissey does a great job of singing complete nonsense that everyone can relate to. makes you take a second look at your own emotions--it's silly when he sings it, and it's silly when i think it, but i think it nonetheless.
The cigarette hanging out of marr's mouth is classic! He can still play the hell out of that guitar while casually smoking...great!
good song, and the guitarsolo is great!
Rest in peace Andy Rourke
Perfect band
Legends
Freaking perfection
no one sings the word 'town' quite as well as Morrissey
And when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound.
iconic ❤️❤️❤️
love this video man!!! has to be my favorite!!!
"nowhere fast": reason #437 as to why i fell in love with morrissey//the smiths.
I hope you know that 16 years later, people still love the smiths
I would love Mozza even if his hair WAS a disfigured walnut. Maybe it would make him more approachable, because to me he's a demi-god.
Morrissey and marr, the best combination
Not that i'm qualified to answer this but. I think he's talking about emotion vs. rational thought process or a sense of second quessing...being in ones head instead of just letting an emotion pass without having to justify it understand it...i don't know. At least thats what it means to me when I think having a hard time having a natural emotion. an unnatural one might be one that your mind could justify rationally? I think i've had unnatural emotions....
i always thought it was "in her eyes" for some reason, thank you!
The Smiths, Joy Division and The Cure, in any order is all you need. Beatles too...Doors....Pink Floyd, The Killers....
Most beautiful guitar me thinks I've seen
Every sensible child.. alv esto si es musica.
nice hair Mr. Marr
nice voice Mr. Morrissey
nice words Mr. Kagaingas
in myyy tooowwwwwnnnn
The best video on the internet
love love love
una cancion increible
I'm quite envious of Marr's Telecaster in this video.
Maravilhoso
Marr is so cool here
Proper fuckin Manchester lad that Johnny Marr. Pure class.
Only 190k views? This should of been played at the royal wedding yesterday...would of got a lot more views😉
