    I often experience feelings of anxiety before arriving at work.
    Pretty much every day for the last two years I've listened to this once before getting out of the car, and each time I hear these lyrics and the melody, my whole nervous system relaxes and I show up to my crew full of hope and positivity.
    Thank you Johnny.

      Michael Adair - Seriously, I actually started crying involuntarily first time I heard this song, totally caught me off guard, I'm not a weepy guy, but Marr's playing is that rare blend of Heart and technical skill that really can't be faked or imitated, nobody I can think of even comes close these days, not even Dave Navarro.

      Flipper I think the comparison still stands, in that Marr made about as much of an impact on indie/alternative music in the 80s and Jimmy Page did on heavy rock music in the 70s. It's not so much a direct comparison to Page, more about how influential Marr is.

    Can I get the world right here?
    Step out to symphonies
    They play on for you and me
    When we faced that July down
    In uniforms
    One and one, no wrong
    We chased that summer down

      keyserdurden - My wife went out of town for the weekend, I was actually up all night listening to Marr in my headphones, realized that I would actually had probably chosen this over sex tonight even if she'd still been home (and that's no shot at my wife, I couldn't want a better woman, zero complaints after almost 25 years, she still steals my heart every time I see her face!), seriously on another level. I remember a few times playing, when I was younger and did little else, when the world seemed to dissolve away and my guitar seemed to sing on its own, almost as if it colluded with my Soul to take over my fingers, a feeling beyond merely physical bliss...listening to Marr brings that same feeling back, a beautiful melancholy that can't be put into words. I'm going to light a candle for him and give special thanks to God for giving the world Johnny Marr and his music the next time I pray!

      GenevaRob72 - I still cherish my "Electronic" CD's, not as Smith-y as I really wanted, but still embedded into my psyche. This is as close to a New Smiths as we'll get, but it's so damn good I hardly miss Moz.

    I heard this song early last year in Fazoli's Italian restaurant over their music system. Had to find it after that. Luckily, I could make out some lyrics...enough to Google it. This is an excellent version of it. It makes me think of the 80s.
