There is a legendary story that when John Peel heard The Undertones-Teenage Kicks he started weeping because it was so perfect. Now me being me, I thought, "Oh bullshit. It's a good song, but NO song is THAT good, and I've heard a LOT of songs." And then I heard this song. I'm not exaggerating that the first time I heard this song it made me cry because it's so f*king perfect. It's one of the single best pop songs I've ever heard. Now I get it...
This man has been the most effortlessly cool human walking the Earth since the 80s. With that being said it's not just the clothes or the look, but Johnny Marr's guitar playing is just so brilliantly unique it's impossible to emulate no matter how simple.
Mark of true talent is being able to go out on your own and have a second career on your own terms after being part of one of the 80s best bands. Johnny is a genius Guitarist as well as a fantastic singer songwriter, this song is now officially my favourite thing he has ever done.
He’s impossibly cool, he was born for this… God knows why it took him so long to get around to doing the lead vocals, he’s got a great voice, quite good on guitar too it has to be said lol…
Marr n Moz always considered smiths a pop group not a rock band. They put out their best tunes as pop singles- not on long players. They were opposite of classic rock ethos.
I really don't know what you guys are talking about? It's a great song... You couldn't have written such a greet song... Don't slag off what somebody else has done until you have mastered what they do yourself!
Johnny definitely taking vocal tips from his friend and collaborator Bernard Sumner. Bernard be like “so here’s how you make it sound good if you’re not a natural singer.” Obviously the riff is amazing!
“There's not any sense There is no innocence There is money commerce no baby It's all an expense The way the pans are set The way the weather burned nobody” I have utterly no idea what he means, yet I still can’t help turning the stereo all the way up every time this song comes on.
@Emily Finan The biggest thing I know is that he called the chinese a sub-species due to their treatment of animals, which, combined with their treatment of human beings, I am not really inclined to deny, the other and only other comment that could be construed as controversial is that people prefer their own kind, which is statistically true, most people do if you check the studies. Apart from those two comments Morrissey has always been pretty damn left wing with The Smiths being called one of the most anti-capitalist bands out there. He literally said he would've pressed a button to kill Trump, he would've done the same for Thatcher considering the comments he's made. All the while though, I find all of this completely baffling considering how Morrissey looks like a Communist in comparison to Ian Curtis and his political views, but of course, Ian Curtis is dead so he's kept as an idealised soul and we have to throw all our virtue signalling vitriol at a 60 year old man. Nice one.
I won't go that far, but it is excellent. Dynamo, 25 Hours (awesome drumming), and This Tension are terrific. Every other track is very good to excellent with the exception of Playland and Speak Out where nothing much happens in either track and which sound too much alike to be placed next to each other -- it hurts the album's momentum -- but they are "good" songs too. No clunkers here. Big improvement lyrically and vocally over The Messenger (which I also thought was very good). I still think The The - Dusk, Electronic's self titled album and singles recorded around that time, and Modest Mouse - We Were Dead, may still edge this out, but with a few more listens I may change my mind.
Cool song.... very catchy... kind of stays in your head....obviously Johnny wanted something radio friendly.... the idea is still is to get the music played even on the radio. Marr is soo good , a true genius.... he can play any style of music anytime he wants. "Candidate" is another track off of Playland..... it's totally different from this song. It's soo cool to see that when most artists his age are totally smoked, Johnny's only starting to push the pedal down. That's the difference between him and Moz. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
I was listening to Queen on spotify when this advert came on and it had really catchy music and I was like "Man, this is catchy!" Thinking it was just a spotify ad or something, I didn't pay attention. And then came the "I'm Johnny Marr and this is my new album..." and I was like "Wait, this is a song!?!" 2 seconds into the song and I was hooked! I've never been so impressed by a song the first time I've listened to it! Absolutely amazing! :)
He was having fun being in great bands like Modest Mouse, Electronic, The Cribs, The The. Johnny's career is pretty amazing if you ask me and the fact that he's putting out such ace songs right now is incredible.
God dam! I heard this for the first time yesterday. Spent all day trying to figure out who it was. Now I have found it, and see it almost a decade old. And somehow I now feel like I have been cheated In not getting to enjoy it all these year's 🤣🤣
I thought his vocals on "The Messenger" were great and he's gotten better i'm sure with all the touring he's done the last year or so. Anyway , as long as he sings the songs HE wrote who cares if he wasn't the greatest vocalist anyway? Some people watch too much fucking American Idol / X Factor and I think everyone should sound like a cabaret singer. Neither Bob Dylan, Joe Strummer, Mick Jagger, Ian Curtis, Ian Brown, Neil Young, John Lydon for example, have pretty voices. But no one could sing their songs like they could
deathfromabove77 To me there are some discrepancies in your list. I don't think Dylan's voice adds anything to the song (to say the least...) where as Johnny Rotten DOES add to their songs a lot with this style. I get your point, but there is an objective standard in some sense. Johnny sounds great though no joke
***** No "discrepancies" in my list at all. Never said anything about Dylan's voice "adding" anything to the song. "Like a Rolling Stone" for example, simply is HIS song and regardless of whether his voice is "flat" or off key as people who just don't get it like to say , means nothing to me...it's the authentic voice of the writer, the story teller if you will. That song sung by a so called "better " singer, trained vocalist totally misses the point. Same goes for all the others on my list.
deathfromabove77 I agree completely, but I was approaching it from a different perspective from you. The authenticity is awesome I'd never deny that. But Johnny Rotten's voice adds the attitude that can VERY rarely be replicated, where as I think some of Dylan's songs actually sound better sung by someone else.
***** agree with you on Rotten's voice which although much maligned at the time,has become iconic and even influenced other rock vocalists ( Liam Gallagher, Richard Butler, even Alex Turner , sort of). Although Rotten's a complete one off, original. And , yes there are some great Dylan covers ( The Band, The Byrds,Hendrix and countless others )..but his original recordings are enough for me. I couldn't listen to the "Blonde on Blonde" album covered by anyone else...anyway , after all that, I think Johnny Marr's actually a decent singer.( you know, nice sounding , tuneful , "inoffensive" in the modern rock style,even)..plus like I said, HE WROTE the damn songs.

It's the music, looks, clothes, playing, and attitude. His attitude is cool. He is cool.

@@trappistpreserves ISSO eu chamo de Estética Positiva e adorável , é claro ! 😍
@@Moyetniishiswa2000 Ric Ocasek was such a cool guy too ! The Cars were awesome
Saw Johnny live last night opening for The Killers. He sounded phenomenal.
That’s how I got here too :p
@@BiancaXBlack Me three

Loved him when he opened at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia for the killers! Me five!
@@qwertyboom9533 me five!
Another riff that just sticks in your head.
Hell yes. I have just discovered this.
@@andyjessshears6788 Congrats! I still love finding something new
I just realized he's the greatest alternative guitarist in the history of the genre
Greatest jangle guitarist for sure
One of the greatest guitarrist. Out of alternative genre
Johnny is a badass....
I may be biased but he’s literally the best guitarist in the entire world
He clearly is.
Let's be honest. We are all here for guitar. And it's bloody brilliant.
Yes, and guitar heroes like Johnny inspire us to play!
No I'm here for the money 😂😎
cant forget bassline
Brilliant in its simplicity.
The vocals are decent too

Bloody hell. He's not getting old.
Vegan non smoking non drinking, Icon , Johnny is theeeeeeeeeeeee man
he's only 55
Half century 😂
no hes just sooo sexy and the lyrics are so relevant to this country and tory retoric. theres no rainy that lay ahead..
Not musically anyway! I think a shot of hair dye helps the image.
Long live to Johnny Marr!
Very modern and cool! nice to see Mr. Marr still kickin' ass.
+Frost still?
+L K in the smiths he kicked ass to
+L K Also in Electronic
He’s impossibly cool, he was born for this… God knows why it took him so long to get around to doing the lead vocals, he’s got a great voice, quite good on guitar too it has to be said lol…
Man this is good.
It's super good, so catchy what pop should sound like, love it.
Marr n Moz always considered smiths a pop group not a rock band. They put out their best tunes as pop singles- not on long players. They were opposite of classic rock ethos.

That arcade is at Bispham in Blackpool!
“There's not any sense
There is no innocence
There is money commerce no baby
It's all an expense

I have utterly no idea what he means, yet I still can’t help turning the stereo all the way up every time this song comes on.
No matter how old he gets, this man will always be smokin' hot
John Maher is a legend. 👌🏻
Easy money 💰 sounds great, johnny Marr 😎 🇬🇧 🎸 legend.
wow both morrisey and marr seemed to have held their form really well, respect!
I didn't see Morrisey in this video though
Morrisey seems to have honed his form for being an absolute bellend.
This didn't age well
@@TheColossalBlanket What did he do?

Better than Morrissey any day. Love this Johnny!
FUCK MORRISSEY GO JOHNNY!!!
Mans a foockin wizard
Aye a fuckin wizards sleeve
Mr Johnny Marr, Superb.
Saw him open for the killers in toronto. This guy absolutely SLAPS live!
Never stops surprising with his great songs, love you Johnny
Great stuff. Sounds like another pure ripper from Johnny. Super catchy, and exactly what a pop tune should sound like..
coolest looking guitar on planet earth
he is the most adorable grown up i know
Whoever he is, he's going to be BIG!!!!!
Are you crazy?! He was the lead guitarist/ songwriter in one of the most influential bands in Britain, The Smiths!!!
@108559100401450654442 Haha Sorry mate, was just trolling ;-) Love the Smiths!! Playland is a belting album too :-)
TheUKJoconna I call that "slow trolling"... So obvious, yet you still snag a couple of takers... lol
sparkymoo Come on now- don't add insult to injury!
TheUKJoconna I was about to flip out on you, haha.
Loved this since I heard it on BBC 6 music. Big Johnny Marr fan, he keeps getting better and better.
Keep rocking Johnny COOL song. Take care and be well Johnny!
Britain, you gave birth to many great bands and artists and johnny..... He is awesome !
Now that is one catchy tune!
First heard this song a couple days live at Mad Cool festival...definitely catchy.
The world can always use another cool, danceable rockin' tune! Johnny Marr delivers!
Spend all your life chasing it. Excellent track, love that guitar.
I’m in this Video 🙌🏼
Johnny Marr has written as many great guitar riffs as anyone.
Heard this song for the first time Tuesday night seeing JM open for the Killers and it's now my new favorite song
This is now my favorite song of all time, beating out Bowie Sound+Vision. I can't believe it.
Just saw him play this song live opening for the Killers! SO GOOD!
Brilliant Track. When I first heard this on the Radio I initially thought it was the Kaiser Chiefs. Love it.
I'm kinda obsessed with this song
***** is it weird that I find him super attractive in this video? Lol
:P PRAISE THE LORD FOR SOME REASON!!! YAY!!
i find him suPER attractive always lmao
Money makes the World going around.Never enough.Cool song.Take care you yours.Be safe too
Johnny Marr is the coolest!
Proper tone as always. Master class Johnny Marr.
Good luck getting this out of your head…legend
The man's still got it. I think Playland is probably the best thing he's put out since Strangeways.
I won't go that far, but it is excellent.
Dynamo, 25 Hours (awesome drumming), and This Tension are terrific. Every other track is very good to excellent with the exception of Playland and Speak Out where nothing much happens in either track and which sound too much alike to be placed next to each other -- it hurts the album's momentum -- but they are "good" songs too. No clunkers here. Big improvement lyrically and vocally over The Messenger (which I also thought was very good).
I still think The The - Dusk, Electronic's self titled album and singles recorded around that time, and Modest Mouse - We Were Dead, may still edge this out, but with a few more listens I may change my mind.
Johnny F'in Marr 🎶❤🤘😎🎸great tune
Awesome! After so many years you keep doing a great job!
Playing isle of wight festival, 🏴 can't wait 😀

近年は映画音楽など多方面に活躍しているジョニー・マー。アメイジング・スパイダーマン2にも参加していて驚きましたが、ついにソロでのセカンドアルバムがリリースされるのですね！一聴して分かるキレのいいカッティングがめちゃくちゃカッコイイです！

johnny is the man, truly said.
Stuck in my head all day!
Good on ya Johnny
This kid's got potential, how comes he hasn't done anything else?
Kid? Potential? Look into the Smiths. He's a legend.
Are you kidding me? There's so much wrong with your comment
Troll much XD
Travis Nelson he's obviously taking the mick
haahahahhahahahahhahaha
Such a great guitar riff! ! !! !
Johnny what a tune. Loved the book too, thanks you cheered up a real tough year.
johnny marr格好良いね
今もなお精力的に活動してて嬉しい
Awesome. Reminds me of mid 00s dance punk.
Reminds me of Hard-Fi
Didn't know about this singer, and l must say that this song is briliant!
You need to hear were he comes, just ask "The Smiths"
Banging, quality, class! I miss rock n roll
感銘!!! From Japan
Very much looking forward to the new album. What a LEGEND! Johnny F*&kin Marr!!!
Surprisingly good.
I'm a metal guy and I admire and respect the fook out of this genius. He's brilliant straight up.
Nice one mate. I like all sorts of stuff too.
Loved this song when it came out. 3 years ive had covid, heart scare and now cancer! Still on a tipping point but not ready to go over anytime soon.
He can still come up with catchy guitar riffs at least.
Not forgetting the other 3 guys,,one solid unit, with Johnny sprinkling the gold dust on top
Sounds great, Johnny. Can't wait to see you again.
Catchy......like it.
He is a legend
So happy I got to see him play this live!
The guitar riff that begins at 0:50 and then again at 2:09 is ... WOW
This goes so hard
This song is SO underrated
Yeah!! That´s money, money!!
love it. I cant wait to see him again live.
Really dig Johnny's jangle-pop sound and style. His vocals and cool look, as well.
Great song!!!!!
This is brilliant...sums up " modern Britain "
Genial!!! Muy bueno. Esperando con ansiedad el nuevo Álbum. Saludos de Argentina.
I'm a MASSIVE Johhny fan................ This song s the NUTS!!!! It just grows and grows on me. Can't wit till Cambridge!!!!
love this tune!!!
This man is a legend.
JOHNNY WE LOVE YOU WHOOOOOOO
class tune
Love it this man is class
Such a great experience getting lost in his music in the RockWave festival in Athens last year.🎸🎤
Great track. Can't get it out of my head.
Played on Radio 2 today. Utterly brilliant.
Johnny so underrated, what took him so long to become solo?
He was having fun being in great bands like Modest Mouse, Electronic, The Cribs, The The. Johnny's career is pretty amazing if you ask me and the fact that he's putting out such ace songs right now is incredible.
what took him so long to make an album ang gone solo :-)
such a brilliant guitarist, and a good songwriter too
God dam! I heard this for the first time yesterday. Spent all day trying to figure out who it was. Now I have found it, and see it almost a decade old. And somehow I now feel like I have been cheated In not getting to enjoy it all these year's 🤣🤣
Better late than never Candy 😉
This has a Hard Fi vibe - absolutely dig this ❤ 😊
Pairs fabulously with Cash Machine by Hard Fi ❤🩷🎶😸
Great tune timeless
I just found this ... it's amazing! Another Marr hit .. love it! Cash for a degree ... yep.
is it me or did he improve A LOT as a vocalist? good song, hope it'll grow on me more!
