It left me feeling a little blue, just imagining him sitting in his room feeling that way and writing out those lyrics. I hope he was able to see some sights during this tour as well. It made me feel bad for him how he had said he wanted to see Poe’s grave but couldn’t get out of bed 😭

Anyways he sounded amazing and Morrissey fans are SO cool/never been in the crowd of such a passionate and respectful group of people before

Look, I think the song is nice, romantic but melancholic at the same time.

But like I swear I'm losing my mind anytime I keep hearing it, like at first I didn't mind but now when I hear it I'm sorta irritated. Like I said the song is nice, would definitely listen to it and I don't mind.

BUT PLEASE give the other smiths songs recognition, I swear there are many more better then there's a light that never goes out

Edit: I respect and agree to some of the people's opinions, but I've heard it way too much now which is why it sorta feels off to me now

Anyone else been here watching punk/new wave classic music videos for the past hour? is this part of the schtick? and/or is he trolling again

Comment below what you think of this song maybe rate it out of ten aswell.

Amazing Bonny and Clyde esc movie. Many references to bands like the smiths as well.

It’s a 1965 British film starring Rita Tushingham. This film has a number of things that make me think it could be referenced in this song.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it so this is from memory. The most obvious connection to the song is that the main character begins the movie arriving in London, and is looking for the YWCA and planning to stay there.

She encounters a building (maybe a Uni? Or it’s the yMca) with a bunch of young shirtless men looking out of a window and heckling her. (Sort of makes me think of the back scrubber part?). She is certainly awkward and clumsy and seems very out of place walking around London. The YWCA is mentioned a number of times. It’s never mentioned how old the main character is, but she seems like she’s supposed to be older than 16. Unless you were considered an adult at 16 in 1965.

I happened to see it on Turner Classic Movies one time. It’s a sort of surreal and bizarre film and I actually found it really hard to watch for a few reasons. But I know Morrissey loves offbeat films (they put shirtless Joe Dallesandro from an Andy Warhol/Paul Morrissey film on the cover of the debut)

Smiths>Morrissey’s solo

Smiths are the Greatest British Rock band of all time

There is a subtle sample of a woman crying / laughing in the last part of suffer little children. Can’t just be me who has NEVER noticed this?

$5.5 USD after fees/exchange.

I wouldn’t be a fanatic like a lot of people of like The Smiths. I personally listen to the band for Johnny Marr’s compositions mainly and am a fan of Morrissey’s voice. I like the other records, but really don’t think they come close to their self titled and The Queen Is Dead.

There is a rawness to their first record and a finesse to their third that I personally don’t think has been matched from the band again!

i had to recreate a book cover for my gcse graphics work and i chose Morrisseys autobiography, here is my recreation and i think its better than the actual cover, what do you think?

I just listened to Strangeways again and it struck me for the first time how little of Marr’s guitar is on it. I realize that Marr and Morrissey were wrapping matters up at the time the album was made, their last. But does anyone have more info on Marr’s contribution to the album—or lack of it? Were the two even talking with each other on that album?
