"The beat feels so good, but it sounds like hes singing about some dark stuff" you have summarised the essence of the band 👍
I really loved your reaction man
Thanks Gavin!
The bass played on this is top tier. Shits hypnotizing. Love that his voce is appreciated
Andy Rourke. He passed away earlier this year.
The Smiths were voted the most influential band to come out of England. I love them. They were influential in the Manchester sound that created great bands like stone roses, happy Monday’s, inspirel carpets etc. what a great time to be from such a fantastic northern city with band like these and two great football teams. Like Jonny Marr I am blue👕👕👕
Okay putting them as the most influential instead of The fucking Beatles is crazy 🤣
@@GamerGod_99 In fact, the beatles had more influance around the world espacially to the US and the smiths were very influantial within the UK, i guess that's why some UK magazines voted them the most influantial band of the UK
Been one of my favourite Smiths songs for 40 years, can't believe it's been that long!
The Smiths lyrics are generally dark and joyously depressing. But sometimes a little cheeky. My favorite band
I'd say they were regularly cheeky!
Joyously Depressing. A brilliant description. :)
Still listening in March 2024. "A peaceful sadness." Indeed!
great review! the smiths are one of my favourite bands from their time and i'd recommend checking out songs like "please please please let me get what i want", "there is a light that never goes out", "i know its over", and "heaven knows im miserable now". if you want to check out a full length album "the queen is dead" is my favourite and imo one of their best.
Thanks for recommendations!
The song is based on a Shelagh Delainey film called A Taste of Honey. You missed the opening line
"In a river, the colour of lead
Immerse the babies head
Wrap her up in The News Of The World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl"
The chorus "Oh you did a good thing" (You had the baby not an abortion)
followed by "Oh you did a bad thing" (You killed the baby)
It is typical The Smiths. Cheerfull music and a very dark lyric or theme. One of the best bands of the 80's, they changed the musical world forever. They were only around for a few years. Johny Marr was the genius guitarist. Andy Rourke RIP the bassist, and one of my personal heros. And the singer - Morrissy. Well, one of our most amazing singers and lyricists.
Listen to Reel Arround the Fountain. There's A Light Thant Never Goes Out, Unhappy Birthday, Paint An Ugly Picture.... They are all so good!!
*Paint a Vulgar Picture*
no way bro called the Smiths a cheerful band
Poor Mike
She had the baby with an older man who let her down. She cleaned it in the canal, wrapped it in a Newspaper, called 'The News of the World', and dumped it on a doorstep, leaving someone else to raise. The 'Child on the swing' brought it back that she didn't keep it.
This is by far my favorite track from the Smiths! Another one that is much more popular is "How Soon is Now?" which I love as well! They are unique, insightful, original, and perplexing all at once. You will never hear another voice like Morrissey's! Love them!
one of my favorite tracks by them, try out more of their stuff!
Will do!
If you're into that jazzy-soul-chill feel, I think you'd also enjoy the track "I don't owe you anything" "Peaceful sadness" is a good definition of the mood of the song. Great review.
Thank you so much!
For me this song was on the subject of abortion. The Smiths never shyed away from anything. Kept me alive through the 80's. Brilliant band from Manchester. Vocals: Morrissey, guitars: Johnny Marr, bass: Andy Rourke, drums: Mike Joyce. Thanks, man.
I thought about that subject as well. Thanks
The song is about a play called “ a taste of honey”
Yes I always interpreted it as that, perhaps even a teenage pregnancy
This song is about an abandoned baby and the struggle and reminder of the choice the mother made.
“The dream is gone but the baby is real” I don’t know; that doesn’t sound like an abortion
Thank you King of the Mix for really understanding an essential song of my adolescence and giving me hope that wherever we are in this messed up world, music connects us. We could have been a poet or we could have been a fool but you did a good thing.. From an old white English lady.
It's so much deeper.....than a child. It's relationships, family, environment. Morrissey...the Smiths are everything 😢
This is a reluctant father and he's actually worried about the young mother and what she could have become
Oh my - you've found The Smiths! Keep sipping the nectar my man. To cheer you up a bit after This Night Has Opened My Eyes, try This Charming Man.
One of my favourite bands of all time!
The song is based on a play written by Shelagh Delaney. A Taste Of Honey set in the mid 1950s in Salford Manchester where the band is from. Shes on the cover of the album. The girl in the song is a 17 year old who gets pregnant. Hope it helps 👍
Thanks so much!
Damn man. Watching this was awesome and I don't typically watch too many reaction videos like this. It's like the same gratifying feeling you get when you show your friend something really cool for the first time and they dig it just as much as you! I also love your enthusiasm and how into the music you get for it only being your first time listening to it. Not only passively listening, but analyzing the lyrics in conjunction with the music too. Great stuff keep it up!!
Thanks for your time!
Such an underrated Smiths song
Your reaction to This Night Has Opened My Eyes was very good- I just subbed
Thanks Ronald! Welcome to the Greatness Gang community ❤️👑
@@KingGreatnessKG Keep up the good work!
I think this song speaks about a couple that had a baby, and they left the baby abandoned to it's luck, apparently on a door step, and they don't know what could have been of her. So the parents will live for ever with this feeling of doubt of could have been.
Another good track with this vibe is “I know it’s over”
Ive been listening to The Smiths for 30 years. Still the best band ive ever heard
enjoyed your review. made me think of the first time i remember hearing this song myself. it also stopped me in my tracks. i recommend the song 'how soon is now?' from the same album
Thanks for recommendations!
Dude, you seemed to really enjoy that. The Smiths are a band from Manchester that make music like the song you just heard. They are characterised by jangly guitars, Morisseys distinctive voice, melodic basslines. If you wanna hear the cheerier side of the Smiths listen to William it was Really Nothing, it's insanely catchy and hilariously gay. They're just very unique and solid band. The lyrics are predominantly depressing, rebellious, queer, vegetarian, 80s, like lefty studenty but like you actually love them for it. Morissey is an extraordinarily clever lyricist who can be super sarcastic, or funy, or really deep and sincere. Johnny Marr's guitar playing is so good I frequently listen to it on it's own. "Some Girls are Bigger than Others" is his masterpiece, please check it out. The bass is always catchy and memorable, the drumming is brilliant, the production, songwriting, oh man I go on .
yout interpretation of the song is spot on
Thanks ❤️
Good choice!!
Check out the Headmaster Ritual by The Smiths…amazing lyrics, music…etc!
Yea you got the lyrics spot on.
Great post dude, spot on about the baseline and the voice! One of my favorites ever…But the Smiths are especially loved for their life performences witch were asthonishing! Old bootleg ‘i stole and then i lied’ recorded in my hometown Amsterdam in 84 gives the best baselines ever with ‘this night has opened my eyes’ on it, bootleg’Oxford 85 from the BBC is equally brilliant and ofcourse the official ‘Rank’ has put the standard on how a life recording should sound. Hope you check them out! Cheers! HT
Thanks for the recommendations HT!
Superb reaction to a brilliant song from one of the very best bands to ever come from these shores 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧. Subbed. Honestly anything from the Smiths is gold but I'd go for Pretty Girls Make Graves or Hand In Glove next ✌️
Thanks for the recommendations! Welcome to the Greatness Gang community ❤️👑
Thanks for your great reaction, please do more Smiths from a happy new subscriber from Australia!
Welcome to the Greatness Gang community 🇺🇸 👑 ❤️
First The Smiths song ive heard
Nice one! Sounds like you'll really enjoy exploring The Smiths, if you aren't already! I think your adjectives are spot on. Groovy, always groovy, melancholy, positivity and grandeur. I'd recommend as good next ones to check out: Girl Afraid, Some Girls..., and then Last Night I Dreamt
Thanks! Stay tuned!
News of the World = newspaper in England. 'Wrap her up in thr News of the World..."
I sensed he was referring to a newspaper 🤔
@@KingGreatnessKG It was a tabloid newspaper. So the lyrics make sense: "In a river the color of lead,
Immerse the baby's head,
Wrap her up in the news of the world,
Dump her on a doorstep, girl." The river with a color of lead = the ink. Clever lyrics.
While I was once a pretty big Smiths fan, this song was always my personal favorite. Something deeply saddening about this song indeed. 'Hatful of Hollow' was not a proper Smiths album by the way; more like a collection of B Sides/Singles. You picked one of the Smiths best and most unique songs hands down. A classic that is even sometimes overlooked, but certainly very special.
Special song
“a peaceful sadness” absofuckinglutely
Loved your reaction. Please react to all Smiths songs. It wouldnt be a waste of your time
Thanks for watching
listen to “How Soon Is Now” and “Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me”
Wow! Grate reaction!
Thank you
The genius Bass player is called Andy Rourke so sad he is passed.
The album Meat is Murder is absolutely beautiful.
I always took it that that this song was about a young girl who had a baby and left it wrapped up on a doorstep in news paper. "wrapped up in the news of the world" for someone to find and thinks about that child for the rest of her life and wondering for the rest of her life who her baby turned out to be..thats what I always thought this song was about..but then I've also heard its about abortion..but in the actual lyrics morrissey sings that the baby was left wrapped up in the news of the world "which was a news paper here in the uk".. to me the baby was born but then abandoned on a doorstep for someone to find
Morrissey lyrics are based from the Great POET OSXAR WILDE...
What the lyrics didn’t tell you is the part where he says “ohhhhh you murder”
I recommend “I Don’t Owe You Anything” by The Smiths 💯
Morrissey is a genius. He wrote the lyrics and designed all tje sleeves.
The song is about abortion.
The title refers to the fact, she is full of regret and is haunted by the decision to kill her baby and she'll never sleep again as her conscience won't let her.
The doctor who aborted the baby told her " He said he'll cure your ills'
She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool.
She will never know.
“The beat feels so good, but it sounds like he’s singing about some dark stuff”= The Smiths. Great observation…or, they’re the opposite: the song sounds sad, but he’s singing about some funny stuff.
🎯
Good job DC - PG County boy
ciao re
complimenti per fare ascoltare gli smiths
mi sono quasi sempre piaciuti
vorrei che tu facessi ascoltare una canzone dei the sound
gruppo inizi anni 80
sono dei grandissimi
con stima,
arrivederci
Thanks Marco
Bro, you nailed this. Do me a huge favour and see “A Taste of Honey” either stream or, if you get the chance at a theatre. You’ll TRIP! Trust me on this.
Thanks for the recommendation
This song is not about abortion. The song clearly states at the beginning the person already having the baby in their hands, aka they were already born, then drown it in a river, wrapped it in newspaper, and then dumped it on a doorstep.
Murder is what happened.
A couple the age of 25 who were not ready to have a child and took the most heinous approach possible.
“He kicked and cried like a bullied CHILD / a GROWN MAN of 25”
I'm so confused that people are suggesting that 😅
reel around the fountain
MORRISSEY!!!!
I’m not familiar with the smiths at all aside from How soon is now, and boy oh boy I’m really digging this. Thanks for exposing me to it, I might have to do a deeper dive
Did you do it? 😃
@@ijustneedmyself Yes I listened to a greatest hits album on RUclips. They have an interesting almost post punk version of old rock and roll. Familiar yet unique.
can you review 'well i wonder' by the smiths my fav song
This song rings about abortion to me. My son would've been 15 now... And it breaks my heart every day..
🙏🏽
Smiths are not depressing life is ...the smith just sing about it but usually put one line in that is more positive than anything in the fake world today .... its so easy to laugh its so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentle and kind
Check out "We'll I wonder" by the Smiths, meat is murder album
How Soon is Now. React to this please. Guitar is inspirational and possibly Morissey's most signature piece of vocals and lyrics.
I think THAT JOKE ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE would be something you will enjoy. (Enjoy is the wrong word 😊)
honestly one of my fav songs, kind of underrated imo!!
that song hits too close to home, too near the bone.
Thanks for recommendation!
I consider This Joke isn't funny anymore like the sequel to This Charming Man
Morrissey
You only have one.
Whenever you react to the smiths or morrissey always pull up the lyrics
Not everything is meant to be taken literal
Correct
Dear friend, I can recommend you some songs that you may like:
That joke isn't funny anymore
What's the difference does it make?
I know it's over
and about 76 other songs, to be taken in one breath, like a healthy medicine
Thanks for recommendations!
It’s about abortion.
it’s based on A Taste Of Honey, the Shelagh Delaney play.
Honestly always think this song is about abortion
🤔 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching.
Singers brain is also pretty smooth.
Thanks
