People say that The Smiths/Morrissey are depressing, but I find them utterly utterly joyful.
Johnny Marr's riff and song writing is definitely joyful
Agree.
Its melancholy music.. doesnt mean u cant enjoy it
They are depressing…but they are much much more than that (hopeful, hilarious, the greatest band of all time!).
I always use to say Happy music sad lyrics :) but it's all about how you listen and connect..
Much of it is just plain funny and puts a smile on your face 'like a brick in the small of your back' :) \o/ \o/ \o/
Bassist Andy Rourke never gets the credit he deserves. He was wonderful and complimented Marr’s melodically driven guitar.
I second this. like most bands you can hardly tell they have a bass. The Smiths don't bury the bass.
Barbarism begins at home is my favorite Andy Rourke track
Facts only
Misery you dance to = Mozery
SPOT ON....Very undersetimated. Always said this...nice to see someone agrees.
Jay: "His voice is so haunting. I could just get lost in it".
*Morrissey has entered the chat*
Jay: "Kind of reminds me of The Cure".
*Morrissey has left the chat*
😂
😂 The Cure and Morrissey notoriously disliked one another.
Robert Smith of The Cure famously said: “If Morrissey says not to eat meat, then I’m going to eat meat; that’s how much I hate Morrissey."
🤣🤣🤣
You mean Robert the smith
“Why pamper life’s complexity when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?” Gobsmacked. These lyrics deserve all the praise.
Yes, Sean!
Gonna be singing that to myself all day now. What a wordsmith
Unbelievable lyricist, despite what a prick he is these days.
We ride in style & comfort
@@steroberts because of his anti leftist opinions?
I can’t express how happy it makes me that you love the Smiths!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yes!❤️
Ikr
Me too!
Yes!!! 💕
They are amazing and there is no other band like them
"A jumped up pantry boy, who never knew his place" is a line from the film Sleuth, said by Laurence Olivier to Michael Caine
Holy cow! Why did I never know that? I love that movie! Thanks 🙏
You are one of my favorite music react channels because it's evident you're expanding your knowledge - making connections, discussing instrumentation, breaking down lyrics & clearly enjoying the songs. FANTASTIC
One of the only genuine reactors. With feedback that you can tell is real. Can tell from another fella that loves music of all forms. Good music is good music.
He completely gets it
Yes, he Is the best reaction and open minded
The Smiths are one of my driving bands, along with the Cure, Erasure and Depeche Mode. Whack 'em on and the miles just fade away while I sing and jump around in my seat.😀👍🎶❤️
Depeche Mode was especially good when you're Behind the Wheel. Get your kicks on Route 66! :)
You're speaking my language!
@@Cyssane Route 66 is a version... no DM song
Try the chameleons if you haven't already
@@honeypower Chameleons were the under-appreciated post punk band of the 80’s. It’s hard to understand why they didn’t have greater impact.
The guitar is played so fine by one of his generation greatest, Mr. Johnny Marr.
There is a Light That Never Goes Out is my favorite Smith’s song. You are a real one with that.
And I loved your reaction to it.
That, this and im miserable now. Make me understand the love the smiths have.
Came here to rep There is a Light as well!❤❤❤ One of the loveliest songs of the 80s.
The Smiths, Devo, The Cure. All amazing artists to check out more of
I'd add Sisters of Mercy to that list for more goth goodness. You could pick just about anything off the Floodland album.
Devo, The Cure and A Flock of Seagulls too
Plus The The, Talk Talk, Propaganda, This Mortal Coil, Souxie and The Banchees,...
Has he checked out any DEVO? I need more people to see that they were much more than that whip song.
@@devenscience8894 ...Keep pushing that fact spud....You are so right.....Are we not men...we are DEVO...
Johnny Marr: underrated guitar god
He's a god alright...
But he's also everything but underrated
Fuck yes. Along with J. Mascis.
Definitely not underrated
"I would go out tonight,but I haven't got a stitch to wear....."
Wow incredible
It's a line that you can never forget, until... you try to remember it.
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care.” Aahhh⬆️ 🎶
I say that every time I go in my closet tho
This is better from how soon is now
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and…you go home and you cry and you want to die
The Smiths are great!! You should do “Girlfriend in a coma” “Big mouth strikes again” and “The boy with the thorn in his side” next, and there’s plenty more, also Morrissey’s solo stuff is great!
Morrissey's solo stuff is booring. Johnny Marr's guitar is what makes The Smiths great first and foremost
“Bigmouth Strikes Again” is a must. So great musically and lyrically.
"Girlfriend in a Coma" is a 2min masterpiece
Nice Black Celebration pfp
@@Camme69 true but his first solo album was ok
A friend of mine always said his favorite thing about Morrissey is that he never stops singing. He fills every empty space in a song with singing.
Whenever my older brother was grounded (back in the mid 80’s) my oldest brother used to sing at him “I would go out tonight but I haven’t got a stitch to wear”...it always makes me smile when this memory comes to me, every time I hear this song.
The Smiths had already split by the time I got into them.....but I was converted FOR LIFE! The lead singer Morrissey is a LYRICAL GENIUS - he tackles all those dark things a lot of singers won't, but he normally puts a humorous edge on it. He was the voice for the shy, the misfits, the awkward, the 'I don't belong' people in the world’ - he made them feel less alone in the world through his lyrics. He went solo shortly after the split and is still an icon, releasing new music & playing sold out gigs due to his legendary status. I have seen him over 20 times in concert and it's like a religious experience - his fans are intense! He is known for being unapologetic and refuses to play the fame game for record companies, which normally leads to him being dropped by the label - as if they think he cares!
You should react to this video of him playing the Hollywood Bowl to see the amount of fans that NEED to touch him by invading the stage: ruclips.net/video/vPij63mSH30/видео.html They don't call him the 'MOZZIAH'' for nothing! He's a staunch animal rights activist and The Smiths album, 'Meat Is Murder' is often cited for the biggest shift to vegetarianism. He refused to play his sold out gigs at Madison Square unless McDonalds agreed to close whilst he was there - and they DID! 😆
Another great track you should react to about police corruption is 'Ganglord': ruclips.net/video/8Gowz4V1c-0/видео.html At his concerts, he plays a collage of footage showing police brutality at it's worst. one of the most unique, talented and REAL artists out there today. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTION!!!
Love this comment.
I saw them in 1985 and they were incredible. Morrissey cried on stage as he sang, "I Know It's Over."
@@kdphotos4691 One of my all fav songs 'I Know It's Over' - comforted through of my darkest hours. Jealous YOU got to see The Smiths AND humbled by the story of Morrissey.....He really is an unremarkable man - a one off. I've heard him sing 'I Know It's Over' at solo concerts - beautiful - means to much to me....😢💔💐 Thanks for sharing!
This is a man who said about reggae: “The most racist music in the entire world… an absolute total glorification of black supremacy.” and he thinks Adolf Hitler was left-wing.
"There is a light..." is a classic, but this showcases the Morrissey/Marr songwriting partnership perfectly. Great riff, quirky ironic lyrics, and solid beat. That's how you do a pop song.
Always loved that bass groove
The rhythm section of The Smiths are underrated.
I used to go around at work singing "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" in my head. So very perfect for how I felt every day there. I don't have to think about that song when I'm at work now though. A much better place.
Yes! I just got sacked from a job in a call centre last week. Worked there for the best part of five months and I listened to Heaven Knows I'm Misearable Now like it was daily prescription. The lyrics perfectly expressed my experience in that workplace haha
You need intense accolades! Not just for this but how you are open to LISTENING music :)
Right? Not to mention being able to compare and contrast different songs and bands, and know some things about the bands, and their members too. I keep saying it...JV is turning into a real "musicologist" as we watch.
Yeah man trying to get my nephew to listen to good old music is like pulling teeth.
It's like good music didn't exist before 🙄
Yeah right. Nice analysis. This is about a shalliw man who just wants to go out in fine clothes. Lol. The song starts with the narrator having a ”punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate” he gets a ride in a fine car by a (really not so) charming man. This song is about classtruggle, but also the void between young - emotional and philosophical vs what appears as the meaningless of ”this charming man” way of life - thinking that ”someone so handsome should care”. As if the young and beatiful cant be miserable… The narrator seems against his will beeing envious of the charming man and the ironic nature of the song - the mocking of him emphasis this. They cant understand each other, and he definetely cant go out with him - different class; ” i havent got the sticks to wear” Btw morrisey was probably gay - but noone really cares. He spoke for a whole generation of young people often feeling depressed and out of touch with the older generation. The smiths influence is still immense for me and for many musicians. Ur analysis is so bad. U just dont get it. I liked calboys album, kendrick lamar and most grime artist from the uk. Im a middle aged white guy - but i wouldnt analyze shit i cant intellectually understand - or even the musicality of it. I like the drums u said. Omg. Johnny marr is one the greatest guitarists ever. He wrote the music first on guitar, morrisey made the lyrics to that guitar part. At least u understood how great of a singer he is - u just dont get his message…
Another legend of 80s alternative, so influential. Morrissey has such a unique voice.
Johnny Marr demonstrating how a guitar can be full sounding without masses of distortion. So influential!
Seeing you react to this stuff that I grew up with is refreshing, and makes my day.
The Smiths are timeless! My heart smiles every time I listen to them!! 🥰🥰
I got hooked on this kind of music and The Smiths was after I heard “How Soon Is Now” Man! It was mind blowing!
freshman year high school, same thing, like "wtf is that". But they went south after the 4rd album
Johnny Marr...that's the talent....love it.
I've said it so many time.. that guitar work in this, is amazing. The driving force in the band..🤘
Time for “I know it’s over” by the smiths - if you really want to hear Morrisseys voice at it’s best.
YES! This was a properly groundbreaking track, especially in its lyrics - nothing in the pop charts before had lines like "Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate".
On the back of this, I recommend the Scottish band Aztec Camera, whose song "Walk Out to Winter" inspired The Smiths' guitarist Johnny Marr to produce a more upbeat tune in "This Charming Man" than they usually played.
Love Aztec Camera!
this line is like japanese haiku
More Smiths, please. They have soooo many great songs! Good suggestions in the other comments, but this is my favorite...
When you're ready for more from The Smiths, check out "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" for another supersmooth bass line, "Bigmouth Strikes Again", "What Difference Does It Make", or "Still Ill" for slick driving guitar jingle-jangles, and "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" for making two minutes feel like five in a good way.
Could you do panic, half a person, shoplifters of the world, stop me if you think that you've heard this one before and girlfriend in a coma
Johnny Marr is just a guitar genius. Watch the video of him with the Killers at Glastonbury playing this.
The Smiths are my favourite band and it's great to see this reaction video. They have so many brilliant songs. All of their songs are very different to each other.
I'd recommend "Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before" (by the Smiths). I think that's my fave.
From Manchester U.K.....my home town....glad you enjoyed it!!!🤗🤗
I was the biggest Smiths fan back in the day. This is such a great tune!! Thanks Jay :)
Now this is a group where you can really pay attention to the lyrics. Most lyrics are just nonsense in service of the melodies, but Morrissey is far too clever for that. Next up "Stop Me If you think that you've heard this one before."
'. . . & the pain was enough to make a shy, bald Buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder'! Classic.
Seconding that the lyrics definitely warrant attention. Where else are you going to hear something like, "A jumped-up pantry boy who never knew his place"? :)
@@dallismurphy3802 one of the best lines ever written. Full stop.
I love that song but the video of them riding around on bikes the whole time kinda ruined the feel of the song for me. I still like it but could've loved it. ☺
@@Cyssane Or... "So I broke into the Palace With a sponge and a rusty spanner. She said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing" I said: "That's nothing - you should hear me play the pianerrrr."
The Smiths - Asleep - such an incredible song
Yeah, Morrisy has a great voice, he has many fans, but somehow underrated, also Johny Marr is a great guitar player, and also not a bad singer, Johny played with many bands, and some great solo stuff. Impossible to exaggerate the impact the British have had on music. love the Smiths
@Síofra Loughlin-Bestawros They we’re all born in England. They formed in Manchester. However, the Irish have also greatly contributed music and musical culture here in America.We love the Irish in the U.S.A and “ Siofra” is a lovely name.It does not surprise me that the Smiths are of Irish decent, all of their names sound like Irish names. But , here in the U.S., The Smiths are listed as “ English/ pop/ punk”…Happy New Year to you Siofra😉🇺🇸🇮🇪
@Síofra Loughlin-Bestawros That is all very interesting Siofra.We here in the States have only vague understanding of the conflicts and prejudices between the Irish the Scottish and the British. The Irish took their share of abuse here in the U.S. as well, but have thrived.But I suppose that all ethnicities have endured some sort of discrimination. It is ugly. Always has been, always will be.However, from now on, I shall refer to “The Smiths” as an Irish band and ask that you pardon my ignorance. I believe that today is “ Boxing Day”? We do not have that in America. Maybe you could offer a brief explanation?…I also have another curiosity: I assume “ Siofra” is Irish. So too is “Laughlin”( Loff-Lin?). “ Bestawros” is what I am curious about…is that also Irish? I assume that is your married name?
THE SMITHS "CEMETRY GATES"
I'm so glad you're doing another Smiths song! The Smiths were awesome! I love Morrissey's voice. Check out some of his solo stuff. Our Frank, Sing Your Life (especially this one!), etc
I think he wants something that was at least something of a "hit"...and those songs definitely weren't. "Suedehead" is closest and even then kind of marginal.
I love Sing your life! Also still I'll!
This was one of their first singles and it blew me away when it came out, never heard anything like it before. Johnny Marris a guitar genius and Andy Rourke's bass work on this track is phenomenal. Other great Smith's tracks to check out - Hand in Glove, William it was Really Nothing, The Queen is Dead, Half a Person, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.
Fantastic baseline
That is awesome you can appreciate our 80's music so much!
I love the Smith's. I was honored to be able to see them in there last concert tour.. Morrissey and Johnny Marr are the best!!!!🎊🎉
The Smiths! So good! Young Moz and his flowers, and that incredible guitar!
I'd love to see you react to Manic Street Preachers. They're so underrated, and I think you'd like them ;)
Smiths to try: "Unhappy Birthday" "Girlfriend In A Coma" "I Know It's Over" "Panic" "William, It Was Really Nothing" "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" "A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours" "Bigmouth Strikes Again" and "Miserable Lie." I could easily list 25 more that are worth a listen.
Smiths fan since 1990 here. A lot of the Smiths' big songs are deep album cuts that weren't released as singles and don't have music videos. Two incredible songs that were singles and have music videos are "Ask" and "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side". A note about this video, "This Charming Man": Since the band's beginnings playing small clubs, Morrissey had a penchant for dancing around with flowers, usually gladioli, in his back pocket or in his hand. The fans caught on to this right away and started bringing him flowers, until there were just flowers everywhere. This has continued
for more than 30 years into his solo career as well. Morrissey writes songs for the lonely and broken-hearted, so his fans bring him flowers and other gifts as a way of saying "thank you" for putting relatable feelings to music.
One of my favourite songs by The Smiths! Check. out their song "Big Mouth Strikes Again", or "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now".
You would like "the more you ignore me the closer i get " by the lead singer, morrissey
Panic, Everyday is like Sunday, Girlfriend in a Coma, unlovable, I know it's over, I could literally go on and on and on about which songs you should react to. The Smiths were and are one of my favourite bands
Remember seeing The Smiths, Morrisey singing This live on Top of the Pops with flowers 🌸 in his back pocket.
Some bands are just so personal to you. I'm from NW England, not too far from the Smiths but I found myself living on London pretty much alone and I'd listen to the Smiths on the underground to work everyday and cry. They reminded me of home, friends, family and all that good stuff. They didn't survive for very long but over the 4 records they released they never made a bad song (apart from maybe Golden Lights!)
This is definitely in my top 10 of all time, the No.1 song of my early teens. Another great reaction Jayvee, always positive. Check out The Smiths 'The Boy with a Thorn in his Side' my personal favourite. Also , The Cure, too.
I never thought i would like The Smiths man, but their songs are so freakin catchy!
Glad you came back around to The Smiths. Their song I Know It's Over has some amazing lines. I also highly recommend The Boy With The Thorn in His Side and Frankly, Mr. Shankly.
Another band around this time you should check out is The Psychedelic Furs, tforgottenbecauseRichard Butler has a unique voice that can be smooth and haunting (My Time, The Ghost In You) to raspy and mysterious, yet bright (Heartbreak Beat, Heartbeat). Heaven is also a great song by them. Heartbreak Beat has always been a favorite, but it is hard not to get lost in the voice and lyrics of such songs as My Time and Heaven.
I remember the first time I heard this. .. my jaw dropped! The Smiths made life in Thatcher 's Britain bearable - just!
Yeah his voice is uniquely beautiful
Keep doing this s*** dude. You are really tapped into the soul of the sound from the start.
Great group and singer, Sheila take a bow, What difference does it make, I miss the 80’s ☹️
I saw The Smiths live in Belfast, Ireland once a long time ago - they truly were a great band and I love Morrissey’s voice as well. Soundtrack to my teenage years.
Enjoyed your reaction.
I've never been a big Smiths fan, I know some of the hits but that is soon going to change. His lyrics are amazing, today is gonna be a Spotify day. Keep up the excellent work. Easily the best music reactor on YT.
I think, this is one of the top ten hardest songs to play on guitar.
Its certainly not easy. Johnny marr is often underrated & not given the credit he deserves
Great react to a great song!
Johnny Marr’s guitar work is phenomenal!!
It's what makes this song for me!🤘
The Smiths, THE best band of the 80's and still as good to listen to in 2021, Saw them live in '85, Totally influenced my musical tastes, The one band that i wish would reform.
His voice is awesome. Always loved him.❤️
This made me so happy! The Smiths & Oasis are my two favorite bands of all time. Please do more songs by both of them. Thank you!!
You Must focus on the guitar player "Johny Marr," a legend, he composed most of the Smiths songs. He went from the smiths to form a band called Electronic with bernard Sumner from New Order
So many hours of my youth spent listening to The Smiths/Morrissey.
Johnny Marr is a legend let’s not forget it, without Marr I doubt The Smiths would have been so massive
Great band so many great songs of theirs for you to listen to!
Haunting and to feel some atmosphere? I'd trY Well I wonder. Catchy rift and funny? Cemetery Gates. I love how you feel them.
His voice takes me right back to the 80's 🥰🤗 gives me the warm and fuzzies!
I was a Smiths fan all the way from back in the eighties, but when I started listening to his solo stuff I was disappointing. Lately I started making playlists of my favorite rockers to practice drums to and found that his later solo stuff just got better and better.
Viva Hate is phenomenal.
His early solo work is excellent. It’s not all as consistent as The Smiths material but there are a few great albums.
@@vsander09 I actually discovered a lot of later solo stuff that I really like.
My dad used to burn his own cds and I remember this being on a lot of them, he passed when I was young but I just found this song again recently and that guitar really brings me back
The bass is awesome too. The Smiths forever
MORRISSEY "EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY"
Last of The International Playboys
From Manchester myself - loved the song when I 1st heard it in '83 whilst a Art College - got tickets to see them on their 1st tour of Universities - I was a an instant convert and dedicated fan - LOVE YOUR REACTION - and yeah certainly one of the more upbeat tracks - but do give "Girlfriend in a Coma" a listen - gotta be up there with the strangest song titles of all time (and a great tune), Peace!
Such a special voice. Love them.
Morrissey & fun used in the same sentence, good lord,what next! Most people think he's a miserable git but I've always found his sardonic wit & lyrics quite hilarious. I guess some people 'get' him,some don't. Loved yr reaction
@Luna Raven Hey,wondering where you've been. Shoulda known you'd pop yr head up for this one & i hope u quoted some of his lyrics like before for the uninitiated. Think of it as a public service announcement. The people need to be informed.😄
The most fun song about someone dying - Girlfriend in a Coma.
Subscribed...Jayvee...Its great to see a someone enthusistic about great music from the past...A lot of us remember when these songs were released...I remember sitting on a sunny beach in 1990 in Miami next to a small group of US students who were listening to the Smiths first album and thinking how weird it was that this music and subject matter had translated from humdrum cold and wet Manchester to here...I was a week into a hitch hiking tour from New York to Hollywood via San F. and and Miami and then back to NY for flight home, sleeping where we could on beaches and in parks...Beaches, deserts, cities and eating at trusty Wendys...all in 8 weeks on college break...Magical time for me...from the UK!
i feel happy for people who are just hearing this charming man for the first time just like i did back in 1983, pure perfection
So great to hear this again. Reminds me of my first year at uni back in the early 80s - everyone was doing the Morrisssey dance and trying to recreate his quiff. Nearly 40 years ago now.
One of the most iconic British bands ever and one that makes me proud to be a Brit. Love your reaction to this one as always bro.
Equipped with wit, verve, incredible songs, and a heap of daffodils, the Smiths exploded out of Manchester to rescue Rock from the moribund depths. And then they were gone.
Not sure if anyone mentioned these, but for Smiths songs I would recommend "Bigmouth Strikes Again", "The Queen Is Dead", "What She Said", "Barbarism Begins at Home", "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore", or "Half A Person" . :-)
Morrissey- 'Suedehead'.......'Every Day is Like Sunday'......in the '80s, The Smiths music was impossible to hear on the radio (in the USA).
I love how joyful your reactions are. Love The Smiths.
-The boy with the torn in his side.
-Girlfriend in a coma.
-Heaven I Knows I'm miserable now
-Panic
-Still Ill
- Reel around the fountain
-Ask
-There is a light nevers goes out
Still Ill is a belter
Check out Morrissey’s solo career is good too. Viva Hate album is fantastic..”Hair Dresser on fire” song “Bangali” every day is like Sunday. And then later stuff like “interesting drug” I mean just incredible career and sound
Interesting Drug is a
fave
Love this song glad you reacted & liked it!Please do
Heaven knows I'm miserable now
Please please let me get what I want
There's a light that never goes out
Girlfriend in a coma.
There’s a 5 min version called the “New York Vocal Mix” for your extended enjoyment.
i love this sooo much
This came out in the U.K. in 1983, I was 17 and rushed to the shop to buy the 12" version. It changed my music forever. Try another English band from the same era called The Chameleons, maybe Tears (not the acoustic version) or Perfume Garden. Love your honest enthusiastic reactions by the way.
Boy, The Chameleons are simply amazing, my first alternative concert, back in '83. Fantastic!
Lyrics are deeply complex and deeply beautiful ☺️ love this track and Morrissey’s music and lyrics 😍
loving your reactions.! just getting re-engaged to the Smiths via youtube and the whole concept of "reaction" clips. just yesterday started also watching Wallys' Crib and like you he's seems to be checking out a lot of this music for the first time..and its a joy to behold, and i so envy you guys getting to hear this music for the first time (even though its all of 40 plus years old) and that youre still into it, cos it reminds me of when i heard it the first time back in the 80's, and feeling much the same way, surprised, impressed, and full of wonderment, at the various levels. thank you for helping bring a whole new generation to the music through this kind of format. it's fun, like watching kids unwrap presents and discovering its something they really wanted!
You should see him live my friend, it’s electrifying!
This bass line! And Morrissey’s one-of-a-kind voice. And Johnny Marr’s guitar. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And ohhh, these lyrics are about something else entirely, but you didn’t hear it from me. 😉
Awesome! Memories of Manchester come flooding back. So glad you enjoy this. If you love the guitars then listen to Girl Afraid. Fantastic stuff.
