I read a biography of The Smiths and I remember the Bassist saying when the group was vegetarian he would sneak out to get burgers. That always endeared me to the man because I damn sure couldn't do an all vegetarian diet.
This is my favorite kind of content, full stop. Someone deeply passionate and informed talking about the thing they care about most. AVAA; I'd love more videos like this!
This is your best video analysis yet. You charming professor 😂 candid and insightful, look forward to your inspired and in depth analysis of songs, culture and humanity. AVAA
I had never really listened to The Smiths. Of course I was aware of them, but only heard a few songs here and there. This video was really interesting and I ended up listening to the entire self-titled album. The passion was too infectious. "Why pamper life's complexity when leather runs smooth on the passenger's seat" is such a great line that I might have to listen to the rest of their discography. AVAA, Professor!
Your Morrissey videos are what led me to your channel and videos like this one prove to me that we really are kindred spirits! I love thinking through art in this way and dissecting all of its elements. Your approach is informed, thoughtful and fiercely engaging. Your students are very lucky and now, I am one of them! AVAA Professor Skye!
Love this band. That first album is my jam. Johnny Marr's musical production is amazing. The melancholic yet infectious rhythms and Morrissey's use of poetry.
I’ve rarely felt more inspired to dive more into a topic, than what you’ve discussed today. Incredibly interesting this mirror dynamic in film, literature and in life. So much perspective to gain here!
Truly compelling, sir. I've considered myself a hardcore and passionate fan of The Smiths for almost 35 years, but you're taking your passion to another totally different level. Turns out I'm a fucking amateur in the world of Smiths fandom. Respect
I'm around the same age as yourself, in the UK....love the Smiths..you have a great affection for music from the UK (I'm from Scotland myself)...The the..mind bomb and Dusk...Johnny Marr, Sinead O'connor....might peak your interest...keep up the fantastic work....love your interpretations of the music and the arts in general. I hope your eyes are OK.
Recently came across your channel and what a find! I love this song and I love The Smiths! When you mentioned the rewards of learning a new language, I realized that is exactly what happened with me learning English and enjoying The Smiths lyrics as a result. I've only watched a couple of your videos yet, but they were definately awesome!
It is pure blast to watch such commitment and intuitive expertise with pure artisan freedom raw and poetic. Epiphany is still real and I am happy to have it experienced following your analysis, Mr. Skye.
I hope you realise how important these videos are, as well as entertaining! Hoping you do more videos just on art you're passionate about analysing for its own sake... AVAA
AVAA! I'm a collector of Smiths singles, which are always fun to find when crate digging so I'm a pretty diehard fan (I think young Moz would hate old Moz lol) so finding this video after all of your KDot/Draaake beef talk is a great change of pace. As far as queerness represented in this song as well as many of Smiths' oeuvre, I've always found it to be a bit of a "those who know, know" kind of way. I'm always reminded of Oscar Wilde and the way he utilized language when I listen to the Smiths or any of Morrissey's works really. This was a treat, thank you for making this video
AVAA - love your videos, yr the best RUclipsr I've discovered in a while and have inspired me to start making freeform essays. Talking of beauty and erections reminds me of "Elephant's Eyelash", an album Yoni Wolf released under his Why? moniker - the LP title is literally a slang word for erections; Yoni's not my favourite artist or anything but his style of lyricism is extremely unique, the scene/record label (i.e. Anticon collective, Mush Records, primeval indie hip hop) have projects that explore the relationship between words and melodies in super unique ways... and of course Yoni's songs explore male sexuality, vulnerability and beauty. "Crushed Bones", much like an erection, goes hard
AVAA and ABAA! I really loved this video, I'd love to see you go in depth with other songs the way you did with this one. Thank you so much for doing what you do, I always learn a lot every time I watch your videos.
I already commented AVAA… but I have to return to outwardly admire your enthralling and convincing delivery of these theories. I wish I could take one of your classes but this feels pretty damn close!
I first discovered The Smiths on a news years eve in highschool freshman year when i was depressed and didn’t have any friends to hang out with so I stayed home and browsed iTunes. I somehow came across the song titles Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now , The Boy with the Thorn in his Side and This Charming Man and it was just a little too on the nose for my teenage angst filled self to not love immediately and have those 3 songs on repeat all night. I think the only other artist I remember the specific day I fell in love with their music was Kanye.
AVAA! Havent finished the video, but I always interpreted the "jumped up pantry boy" line as being the boy referring to himself, thinking of himself as being not deserving/too poor/out of place etc. Could also be the older man saying it, too... maybe that's why it's left ambiguous. Also, ive wanted to collect their posters, but they're actually quite hard to find as far as i can tell, especially for less than $400 ish... any suggestions? :)

I read the title and I was like, I love that song, but is it? You know probably not, then I listened to it just now and you might just be onto something I'm gonna hear you out(was gonna hear you out anyway)
I've enjoyed The Smiths for a while but the queerness of their music has never been made so apparent to me up until now. You've given me a new appreciation for The Smiths and Morrissey's lyricism. Your point about this song possibly being about a killer makes me think of the lyric from "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side". "Behind the hatred, there lies a murderous desire for love" This is now my favorite video of yours. Thank you, Professor Skye! AVAA!
hey! my father and uncle were huuuuge smiths fans. they also have an insane collection of posters and my uncle has an online shop of smiths t-shirts (not an add lmao). the smiths are an insanely underrated band (outside my family) imo also, moz is insane, in both meanings of the word (creative and actually derranged)
Thanks for this - I've loved the Smiths since the 90's, and particularly that first album. 'This Charming Man' was always one of my least favourite songs on it, though. It was 'What Difference Does it Make' that i learned to love the Smiths through. I've been singing the lyrics wrong my whole life, though, I've discovered through your video! My favourite Smiths songs are usually the odd ones - 'Half a Person', 'Asleep', 'Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me'. Just a shame Morrissey became such a knob.
great video! any thoughts on the pogues and shane mcgowan? fascinating heartbreaking character with truly beautiful lyrics, and i would guess you could provide some strong analysis of them. keep up the good work!
One of the funniest things ive seen is a couple of friends who would have arguments entirely using Smiths lyrics 😅 This is a fantastic song, for sure, tho
I am not the biggest Smiths fan. AVAA. As a son of immigrants, I can empathize with your sentiments on Morrissey and his lyrical context evoking a search for belonging. This newfound awareness has motivated me to go back and listen to the Smiths and solo catalogs. Any other similar artists?
AVAA Professor. My favourite Smith’s song is Hand In Glove. I have always appreciated the (gay) glitter that sits atop The Smith’s landscapes of sound. It’s a symbolic representation a homosexuals integrated alienation; “We don’t care if you’re gay but keep it in the bedroom.”
AVAA! I actually love you going more into detail for some, not even songs necessarily, but concepts rather? Especially when you talked about Nárkissos and age through reflections i couldnt help but think of the picture of Dorian Gray. Keep up the great work
I have listened to hundreds of thousands of albums and songs and just music in general and I genuinely think that the best song ever made is The Herald by Comus. It's nowhere near my favorite song simply because the style isn't 100% to my liking, but from an objective view I think it is the 100% best written piece of music ever made. Incredibly beautiful but also harrowing.
Not individually this song, but the first The Smiths lp is one of the best artworks ever to come from Great Britain, their other LPS too, although Meat Is Murder doesn't do it for me. STONE ROSES FOREVER!
"This Charming Man" is a song I heard from my best friend who I walked to school with in the 80s. She was "cool". I was not. (I wouldn't have heard it otherwise...) I didn't really like the song when she played it to me (over and over again)...I do love it now as an adult. I feel the same way about many English bands... It is very different I imagine for an American (which I was at the time) who had no connection to the City (Manchester) they sang about so often but felt the connection anyway... The song is primarily about a gay man struggling with the passing of time...and how gay men have no connection to it since they will not generally have children. It is a simple song with a simple observation. (It didn't seem so strange at the time)
I can start down this road with you, but of course we will diverge from each other regarding the best Smiths song, etc. Some Girls, Pretty Girls make Graves and There is A Light are far superior, musically, emotionally, and nostalgically
Why are you bad mouthing Morrissey. What exactly has he said that has upset you? Morrissey has not changed......he still speaks for the working class. The media tried to befriend and bully him and he distanced himself. You are the one who has become elite.
professor, you havent heard from me in a while, but I must say this. If this is the road we are going down, it must be mentioned that the answer to this question is "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley. I'm gonna stand on business as they say. Youre gonna have to contend with the genre that is reggae if you're gonna be real about this conceit of "best song ever". Bob Marley - Redemption Song, put some respect on Jamaica.
@@professorskye fantastic choice, an incredible song forreal. On a sidenote, do you listen to a lot of reggae? There's a great catalogue of songs to discuss, I'm quite partial to the works of Sizzla.
200.00 posters when most Americans today are lucky if they can afford gasoline to get back and forth to work, when a month of food stamps only lasts 2 weeks, Tsk tsk Professor
Yeah, I thought about that. I should have made it more clear that I meant that they are affordable for what they are. As far as pieces of art and music memorabilia go, they are (in my mind) ridiculously undervalued on the market. But yes, I am certainly privileged to have been able to build this collection ver the last 20 + years.
Respect to the Smiths’ bassist Andy Rourke, who sadly passed earlier this year. Thanks for mentioning his amazing work on this song.
I read a biography of The Smiths and I remember the Bassist saying when the group was vegetarian he would sneak out to get burgers.
That always endeared me to the man because I damn sure couldn't do an all vegetarian diet.

PUNCTURED BICYCLEEEEEE (Avaa in Advance Sir Skye)
It really is the best song ever made! It may sound silly but this song really helped me come to terms with my own bisexuality
A half hour in, and AVAA. If you're so inclined, I would love to hear more Smiths content from you, Prof Skye.

If I could double like this video I would. I love this type of analysis. You are my people. Avaa from Australia 😊
Ask is also my favorite song ever, and the boy with the thorn in his side is also one of my favorite smiths songs. Incredible stuff, AVAA
avaa, teach!
incredible video as always, love your insight on these things. awesome Phoenix poster on your basement too!
the impact of this channel on the way i listen to music and understand art cannot be described
AVAA!! This is one of my favorite songs of all time right next to Back To The Old House, I’m so so glad u covered it!!
I'm around the same age as yourself, in the UK....love the Smiths..you have a great affection for music from the UK (I'm from Scotland myself)...The the..mind bomb and Dusk...Johnny Marr, Sinead O'connor....might peak your interest...keep up the fantastic work....love your interpretations of the music and the arts in general.

I've always felt that I could write a whole book on how great this song is. I never get bored of listening to it, it blows my mind everytime ❤
Absolutely amazing! Please go over the entire catalogue!
Fascinating! Thank you!
ABAA I would love for this to turn into more of a series
I hope you realise how important these videos are, as well as entertaining! Hoping you do more videos just on art you're passionate about analysing for its own sake... AVAA
heard this song so many times and i saw Sleuth but i never really understood the actual narrative in the song! cool analysis.
Had this question on my mind for the past week. Such beautifully writing. Glad you agree prof x
Loved this, thanks Prof. inspires me to want to make my own analysis of You’ve Got Everything Now and share with the Patreon

I already commented AVAA… but I have to return to outwardly admire your enthralling and convincing delivery of these theories. I wish I could take one of your classes but this feels pretty damn close!
It’s my all time favourite song
I would absolutely love one of these on some other smiths songs such as ask or panic or pretty girls make graves, this was awesome
love your dense and long videos i feel like im learning something
I first discovered The Smiths on a news years eve in highschool freshman year when i was depressed and didn’t have any friends to hang out with so I stayed home and browsed iTunes.

good video as always! your videos when you dive into one specific song are great!
I read the title and I was like, I love that song, but is it? You know probably not, then I listened to it just now and you might just be onto something I'm gonna hear you out(was gonna hear you out anyway)
AVAA. I love the part at around 44 minutes in where you start to go insane pinning string lines between the smiths poster bulletin behind you.
AVAA! Would love more videos like this one :D
I've enjoyed The Smiths for a while but the queerness of their music has never been made so apparent to me up until now. You've given me a new appreciation for The Smiths and Morrissey's lyricism.

"Behind the hatred, there lies a murderous desire for love"
This is now my favorite video of yours. Thank you, Professor Skye! AVAA!
I never paid any mind to the Smiths, just knew a handful of hits. After your analysis, I just might start going through their discography. AVAA.
AVAA - great video, loved the deep dive.
Morrissey has Wilde on his side. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is another story with "return the ring" echoing throughout. Nice work.
hey! my father and uncle were huuuuge smiths fans. they also have an insane collection of posters and my uncle has an online shop of smiths t-shirts (not an add lmao). the smiths are an insanely underrated band (outside my family) imo

Best band in the world. Vintage Chewbacca brought me to this channel. AVAA
Holy shit this is the best video
Content is awesome! AVAA!
Love this analysis and the song. Also wildly jealous of that baby having a parent with which to discuss art.
In some sense "The Master" also captures this dichotomous view of masculinity
AVAA Professor. My favourite Smith’s song is Hand In Glove. I have always appreciated the (gay) glitter that sits atop The Smith’s landscapes of sound. It’s a symbolic representation a homosexuals integrated alienation; “We don’t care if you’re gay but keep it in the bedroom.”
AVAA! I actually love you going more into detail for some, not even songs necessarily, but concepts rather? Especially when you talked about Nárkissos and age through reflections i couldnt help but think of the picture of Dorian Gray. Keep up the great work
AVAA pls keep making videos about the smiths
Masterclass as always Skye AAVE
I said, "That's nothing, you should hear me play (guitar)"
I'm unaware of what Morrissey has been up to that fits the "mentions" you uttered.
In today's world, I'm not sire I want to find out.
oh my, speaking of erections of the soul; would love you to do The Boy with the Thorn in His Side next. after that : There is a Light---!
Avaa goat i love you

Best video of the year?
I can start down this road with you, but of course we will diverge from each other regarding the best Smiths song, etc. Some Girls, Pretty Girls make Graves and There is A Light are far superior, musically, emotionally, and nostalgically
why pamper life's complexities?
Shela is the pronunciation. Also Salford is more like SOL-ford
Thanks for that
I think Girlfriend in a Coma might be the funniest song ever written 😅

ABAA!
I agree the smiths had multiple great hits….the Brit’s had different swag…50 -50 is present.
AVAA + ATAA
Why are you bad mouthing Morrissey. What exactly has he said that has upset you?
Morrissey has not changed......he still speaks for the working class.
The media tried to befriend and bully him and he distanced himself.
You are the one who has become elite.
avaa
ABAA.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with his politics. He grew up.

AVAA
what does AVAA stand for?
I desperately wanted to disagree with you for fun
Best I can do is say Old House is more emotional truth thean Boy.
professor, you havent heard from me in a while, but I must say this. If this is the road we are going down, it must be mentioned that the answer to this question is "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley. I'm gonna stand on business as they say. Youre gonna have to contend with the genre that is reggae if you're gonna be real about this conceit of "best song ever". Bob Marley - Redemption Song, put some respect on Jamaica.
Definitely an amazing song! Though, my favorite song of his is “Small Axe” produced by Lee “Scratch” Perry.
@@professorskye fantastic choice, an incredible song forreal. On a sidenote, do you listen to a lot of reggae? There's a great catalogue of songs to discuss, I'm quite partial to the works of Sizzla.
AVAA not much else to say lol
200.00 posters when most Americans today are lucky if they can afford gasoline to get back and forth to work, when a month of food stamps only lasts 2 weeks, Tsk tsk Professor
Yeah, I thought about that. I should have made it more clear that I meant that they are affordable for what they are. As far as pieces of art and music memorabilia go, they are (in my mind) ridiculously undervalued on the market. But yes, I am certainly privileged to have been able to build this collection ver the last 20 + years.
abaa
It's great, but it's not even the best Smiths song.
Idk why but I just can’t listen to more than 30 seconds of a single song my the Smiths. Just not my vibe for whatever reason
Abaa
