Wow after listening again I missed so much in the lyrics
The Queen is Dead album is a classic , I’m from Manchester and Manchester was Poor , at that time in most places , the Smiths chose that name to try and represent commonality amongst so much projected aspirational nonsense in the 80s , particularly in the face of sociopathic yuppydom , they were real and sincere x
Great choice my friend
The Smiths for me are alllllll about the lyrics first
Please react to more of The Smiths
Miserabalism at its finest! I suggest you try 'Barbarism Begins At Home' next.
Mother I can feel the soil falling over my head! He died of heartbreak 💔 and is in the grave being buried . His mother is his only confidante.
Gorgeous song. "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind"! Great line.
I live my life by that ✌️
Not many possess that strength
@@ChubbyChecker182 same and it turned out I saved a girls life😅
I always thought is "so easy to love, it's so easy to hate" and that thas deeping meening to me =)
I love this line
Great reaction. It makes me happy that you love The Smiths - they were an acquired taste even in the 80s, but people who "get" them tend to become real devotees. They really stood out amid the rest of mid-80s music and meant so much to me when I was a teenager. This song is achingly beautiful. Try 'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side' or 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' next. Both are also from The Queen is Dead.
💯 80s everything went. After an all night Toronto club listening to this, next weekend I was in Buffalo rollerskating to funk.
The Smiths the only band in the 80’s that saved me in my teenage years
It saves me in my 30’s. 💙
You nailed the interpretation, Morrissey was rarely as vulnerable and self reflective as here. He lays it all out in this song
It's a cover 😂
@@paulie3748 dont think so mate.
who do you think wrote this song?
@alansouthall8221 I do think so mate
@@alansouthall8221 Try Jeff Buckley lad
@@paulie3748 yeah buckley covered it a full 10 years after morrissey and marr wrote it 😂😂
The Smiths saved my life .. they allowed me to know I wasn’t alone .. ❤️❤️
Great comment, so true ♥️
You're not alone. We're not alone.
Same, “it’s easy to laugh, it’s easy to hate//it takes strength to be gentle and kind” ❤️
And yet really we all are.
"But don't forget the songs
That made you cry
And the songs that saved your life"
Rubber ring by The Smiths
One of my favorites by them. Andy Rourke is a great bass player.
Love the fact you like The Smiths. Sir, you have taste
One of my favourites by The Smiths 🖤 NO ONE does misery like Morrissey!!
When your a teen in the 80's and depressed this was the go-to song at least among my new wave friends. I STILL can only listen to it if I'm in a strong state of mind.
Thanks Jay!
For me, it's Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me!
This brings a tear to my eye as I am an original Smiths fan and these reaction videos often take me back to how I felt when I first heard Smiths songs in the 80's as a teenager.
They were songs that saved our lives back in the 80's as we didn't have therapy back then we had The Smiths.
As a guy who kinda set the pace with music and style once I got to HS, I was pretty invisible before then… Then puberty happened and in 10 months I was taller stronger and better looking than those I’d grown up with.
I made girls crazy and guys were intimidated which was easy to play off but inside it was such bitter isolation. I found a departure from the scorpions and Michael Jackson which had plagued Middle School (lol) with my immersion into The Cure Joy Division Ministry, New Order, Skinny Puppy, The Smiths and then the dance music of Book of Love and Depeche Mode Erasure The Cult Front 242 etc
I eagerly devoured all the import vinyls, I changed to my own style and couldn’t be labeled..
But I did discover that girls loved different looks and I well, created mine lol
But no one besides Robert Smith grabbed me with his Voice like Morrissey or guitar like Marr..
Those two wrote the anthems of left behind, unfulfilled angst and the slightest , always out of reach love seemingly felt by GenX with their deceptively trivial sounding songs which belied the extremely tight and face paced dissonance coupled with soaring and haunting lyrical genius from the band and Moz..
If they did it for you, you know or if you just discovered this recently, you’ll never hear it again without a story built deep into your soul about it
And I’ll say it one more time..
That man’s voice is the stuff of delicious dreams and harrowing nightmares simultaneously 😅❤
@@mvaughangolovely that you found a silver lining, and possibly a saving grace in these artists. As someone else that got "hot" out of nowhere or before I got charisma, I know the weird isolation that come from being unable to connect but hated for it when you try to open up since it sounds like a non issue, it's an unsympathetic problem. much love ❤
Morrissey is the Shakespeare of the eighties, a classical drama in a three minute record.
Perhaps the greatest lyricist of all time
@@monte2115 Bob Dylan?
@@AndrusKungla I would say Morrissey is more well read. Dylan perhaps a bit more from the soul.
I prefer "Well I wonder", "Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me" or "Asleep". In the top of sadness.
Also check out some solo Morrissey songs: 'SUEDEHEAD' 'EVERY DAY IS LIKE SUNDAY' 'GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA' ✌️
Is gf in a coma a solo song i thought it was smiths?
Yeah, "Girlfriend in a coma" is from "Strangeways, here we come" (The Smiths)...but Morrissey does have a lot of great solo songs as well, especially on the first few albums
Hell yeah, I love those songs
Keep playing with The Smiths!
Girlfriend in a Coma is the most fun sad song.
Morrissey has one of my all time favorite voices, sling with Thom Yorke, Bjork, Tori Amos...
I love all of them❤️
"I know, I know, it's serious." Cemetery Gates is pretty good too.
Although the BBC chose in 2004 this song as the most depressing in history. My "Well i wonder" saddens me much more. And above all "Trust" by The Cure would be my number one in sadness.
My favourite Smiths song, the crescendo is a masterpiece.
I cry during well I wonder
Love this reaction - it’s a beautiful, mournful song. For some more along the same lines from The Smiths, see also: Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want and Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me (one of my personal favourites and well worth a reaction) and from solo Morrissey: Now My Heart Is Full.
Last night i dreamt somebody loves me is so beautiful, yet so haunting and sad too. I love it - especially the whale sounds intro on the longer version, before it all kicks in - it’s a stunning heart wrenching song 💙
Please please is on its own absolutely perfection !
Sorry but i had to make a LOL, not to u but to The smiths lyrics cause..."Love is natural and real" and we think finnaly he's happy and then "But not for such as you and i" and "Last Night Somebody Loved Me"...ops correct "Last Night Dreamt of..."... depressing or irony? (both?)
That post-punk bass gets you doesn't it. You should check out some more Echo & The Bunnymen. Their bassist was phenomenal.
And Siouxsie and the Banshees -- songs like Red Over White
"It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate.
It's takes strength to be gentle and kind..."
From Rourke's growling bass to Marr's guitars to Morrissey's vocals, this is The Smiths at their sombre, beautiful best.
I hope you realize how special you are! Listening to The Smiths is not for everyone and I am so glad you're discovering them. Try "This charming man", "Bigmouth strikes again" and my personal favourite "Last night I dreamt that somebody lived me". Great reaction!
I’ve done this charming man
@@JayveeTV you will like ‘the first of the gang to die’ its a morrissey solo song
Sorry... You shoud definitely listen to the others then!
Jayvee you get my respect for reacting to "I know it's over" - You need to really react to "Big Mouth Strikes Again" off of this same album!
Radical suggestion bro 👌
yes! ideally the live version from Rank
Yes that’s next
Probably my favourite smiths song, along with barbarism begins at home. So good
The Smiths are a very unique sound and unique content. They were great for an angsty-teen in the 80s. Glad you are getting into them.
This is one of my favorite interpretations you have done...spot on. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Shoutouts Andy Rourke for that incredible baseline. May God rest his soul.
My wife and me started listening to the Smiths in the 80s when we were going out ,
35 years later and we are still listening to them ,our favourite band ,they never get old
I've been listening to them since the 80's too. My daughter and granddaughter also love them.
So cool you have enjoyed them together after all these years. My husband enjoys their music when I play it, but I wouldn't call him a fan.
Superb song ❤️ since you’re doing album track could you please listen to “ reel around the fountain “ thank you
Great suggestion
Just beautiful when I grew up in a depressing Manchester in the 1980's. I'm convinced they influenced many Manchester bands that created the Madchester era in the late 80's/early 90's as Manchester was on the up. Manchester was the centre of the European music scene, creating a list of huge bands such as The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, The Charlatans, Oasis, The Verve, not to mention the centre of the World's House Music Scene (EDM). All thanks to The Smiths and New Order.
The effect that supergroups like Electronic (Johnny Marr of the Smiths and Bernard Sumner of Joy Division/New Order) is truly understated
Manchester thought they were the centre of the Universe, as was then, go today, kebab shops and not much music. The Smiths represented outside London.
I defy anyone to listen to this first side of "The Queen Is Dead" and still be in a good mood!!! This is Morrissey at his most maudlin. That's Andy Rourke on the bass. He was a real beast on 4 strings!!
The first side of TQID has Frankly Mr Shankly! It's hard to not be in a good mood during that one
Wonderful! This is one of my favorites of the Smiths.
The Smiths / Morrissey are popular in Latin American countries and have inspired some great Spanish rock. Odd that more people here in the States don't get the passion & humor he evokes...
Oh yeah I was glad that I'm not the only Mex American that absolutely loves this mans voice, do you know what the inspired bands are?
Jayvee; thank you so much for your Smiths reactions...!!! Would love you to see you start branching out to Morrissey's solo work, huge catalogue (that continues to this day) with masterpieces just like The Smiths. Keep up the great reviews, love your channel...!!!
I just posted this song and what it brings to mind:
College. I’m surprised I didn’t become an alcoholic. Home life was excruciatingly painful most often and the loneliness was unfair. I was considered a weirdo, too nice, and fragile. I wasn’t aware of the ADHD so getting through school became harder because I couldn’t float on just my intellect anymore.
I was lost…aimless. Sometimes I get very angry at my mother now, even though she’s gone, because she knew and chose to do nothing. I’m glad I got my daughter diagnosed. She may still be struggling but she will find her way faster than I ever did.
Please react to - Troy by Sinead O'Connor
Oh this would be a great one!
This song makes me cry like a little child. It’s rare to come across lyrics this reflective and honest. So obvious yet so dipped in mystery. My favorite line is, “Love is natural and real.” It’s such a beautiful expression and the way he delivers it is just heart wrenching. Wish I could go back in time and enjoy this song when I needed it the most.
Morrissey’ voice ❤️
Ooh I love this, dark and moody, that bass and drums. I'm here for this. It's a whole vibe
Morrissey is a genius
Love how you get them. Well I Wonder. Cemetry Gates.
One of the great Smiths songs from the classic album The Queen Is Dead, my intro to the Smiths. So haunting and passion- and despair-filled
Such a powerful song, Morrissey's voice is incredible on this track..one of Marrs favourites I believe
I think Morrissey was at the pinnacle of his vocal powers on this album. That's not to criticise his later solo work as I like that as well but his clarity and tone on this whole album is at a different level
The soundtrack of a very dark phase in my youth. Still brilliant.
I don't know what made me chose the queen is dead when selecting my free Columbia house LPS at 14, but I did and OMG, I have been a huge fan ever since!
Thanks bro for an honest reaction to a beautiful song. This band got me through some rough times at college in the mid 80s. Morrissey's angst filled insightful lyrics about everyday life can connect like no other lyrics I've heard.
May I suggest "Reel around the Fountain" from their first album for your next reaction.
Peace bro
Loved your reaction
Love the Smiths
Love this song
They have sooo many more great songs. I'll be here for all of them
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh...
… Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me?
… Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la...
… I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know...
… 'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
… It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I, my love
… Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my...
The amazing lyrics are on par with all he does, but for me in this one his vocals excel. Just like butter and so effortless and he takes his time with every word. Just a perfect song.
Obviously we have a new Smiths fan in the community!Love the song TOO!Thanx for posting,try HALF A PERSON!💓
It's poetry. Morrissey is a real poet.
Not only did I never think you would review this song, I never thought you would like it. I am pleasantly surprised. I’ve been listening to him since 1985. Greatest band in my opinion.
Listen to “Ask”!
Great reaction, as usual. I think you would like "Well I Wonder". It's not one of their most famous tracks but it's really beautiful.
By the way, I really admire how open minded you are to different genres of music, or to music from different eras. It's so refreshing.
What an outstandingly beautiful song!!
You NEED to listen to "Well I Wonder" by The Smiths.
Nice to see Andy Rourke's bass playing get some love.
"Cuz tonight is just like any other night"
Sad
One of my favorite Smith’s songs.
This song was laid down one low-lit evening. Marr recalled to NME in 2011: "We recorded it around about teatime, but England being England it was dark and wet outside. It was very beautiful and it reflected how I felt for a large part of my life, and particularly during that period. But I didn't see a despondency in that, there's an acceptance of melancholia being a part of life, that's why I don't think it's depressing."
Check out Suffer Iittle children from their self-titled album. Very haunting. By the way love your videos it's great to sit down and chillax with you to some good jams. Dig your versatility in music.
love, love this song: "Oh! Manchester..." (Moor Murders Inspiration)
@@lauce3998 oh Leslie Ann and your pretty white beads oh John you'll never be a man and you'll never see home again
You should check out Jeff Buckley's version of this song
Ooh haven’t heard that one cheers for the recommendation
One of their most saddest songs ever in their discography, might be the saddest song on the album. Need to check out the Headmaster Ritual and Barbarism begins at home for some amazing bass lines
There are many Smiths songs and all are epic. Well I wonder is my favourite.
When you got a chance, you should listen to their song Big Mouth Strikes Again. So good!
Morrissey’s voice is just incredible on this track and the bass is just as good.
The next time you listen to 'I Know Its Over', continue to listen to the next track, 'Never Had No One Ever'.
I see it as one longer song, split up in to 2.
Ahhh...The Smiths....the most influential band you will never hear on the radio.
Please listen to the live version on "Rank"
Jayvee Please listen to "Well I Wonder"🌟
I didn't know this one. wow wow.Thank you!
Whatever people may think of Morrissey personally, he is without doubt a poet. The Smiths lyrics are some of the best ever committed to tape.
What a week. Front row for Johnny Marr in Gloucester on Friday, now this reaction to my favourite ever Smiths song!
HUGE Smiths fan, here!
This is probably Morrissey's saddest song ever. I can feel the soil falling over my head. Thanks for another Smiths though, and hope you will do some Morrissey solo in the future.
Life is a pigsty
Asleep is a good one
I love this song! I can't wait till he plays in Los Angeles again. I missed out on his Vegas tour this yr but saw him last yr vegas. I love him so much. He music is Amazing. Sounds the same live.
"the bass player deserves a raise"
you have no idea
First album I ever purchased alongside New Order's Power, Corruption and Lies.
Love love love “The Smiths” Morrissey had a really good solo career. You would like his Albums. “Viva Hate” is incredible.
O baixo como na musica Cuore da Rita Pavone. Belíssima inspiração.
Love is stronger than death - The The ( Johnny Marr)
Hey. 😊
I’m surprised you haven’t done Big Mouth Strikes Again yet.
Love Morrissey!!!!! He's got a sweet one "Let Me Kiss You" but then also "Suedehead" which is classic.
React Kristen St. Even. She talks about the troubled relationship she had with Morrissey.
Love your reaction because you seem to be drawn in by purely the music first (bass line - vocals - there were a few signs from you that you were getting lost in the mix!!) - but when you do your double takes on the lyrics I realize your taking everything in - thanks for treating the Smith's music with enthusiasm and integrity - means a lot (to long term fans) because only a handful of reactors go to the trouble of showing that the music they are listening to has disarmed them. Could go into the lyrics but that's best left up to each listener to do because everyone's coming to the song from a different place - but will just mention the 'soil falling over my head' that Morrissey directs to his mother - my interpretation is he's referring to the hopelessness some feel in their early years (prepubecant) so he goes from present day back to those really early feelings of dispair so that's what gives the song the memorable depth that it has.
I'm literally cry all the time i hear this song.
If you don't want mind I'd like to make another smith's song recommendation... it's "Well I Wonder" as well as "Barbarism Begins At Home"
Oh my DOG! I love you! I'm hearing the Smiths for the first time thru you! I liked, i subbed, I rang!
And if youre feel so very good looking, why are you sleeping alone tonight?
Wow! !!! Thanks Moz ...
Try Girl Afraid. And if you like the Smiths, listen to TheWedding Present. "Dalliance" is a good place to start.
Really enjoyed your reaction, their sound was very much Marmite here in the UK. This song has been in my head to recall during difficult times since the week the album came out. It connects to the emotional side of my brain like no other song, aside from There is a light perhaps. I don't watch many reaction videos but I really enjoyed your appreciation of the beauty of this track.
Why cant they just tell the truth on these reactions 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ you listened to it 3 or 4 times before you recorded this vid
This song has been my anthem for so many years. I have always been and felt alone. Even now i am alone again and will probably always be, but i now have a beautiful 3 years old daughter and its all i need in my life! True love!
Morrisey and Marr got all the credit, nothing from them, but Joyce and Rourke never got their due love.
I cut and pasted this from another reaction vid replying to someone but wanted to add here too...
.I agree with most of what you've said there thank you. However, over time I realised that this isn't as dreamy as you suggest. This is a suicide note addressed to society but specifically his mother, like a fatally wounded soldier crying for his mother knowing the inevitable . He's explaining why hes come to this situation, but also apologizing to her. Whats over is the facade, his ego, as you rightly said has been has taken a fatal blow and he can't deny his situation any longer. Its a lot edgier than it first seems.
" There is no where else to go" - But under the soil
He also has a to and fro conversation with her that's easy to miss starting with " and you even spoke to me and said... if you're so handsome/clever etc.., why are you on your own ? ", this may be imaginary but it could also have literally happened to Morrisey , she goes on to tell him that "love is natural and real but not for such as you and I my love"... which is when he switches back to him speaking. When you tune in to it it's a very difficult song to listen to, he really is about to commit suicide, in the song. I also must add that it's the most perfect and polished of all of their songs, its just beautiful and perfect from start to finish, and they're words I never use.
Check out Jeff Buckleys cover of this. Haunting, man.
there are a few live performances of this in 86 you should watch for sure...live it is amazing.
If you want more ace bass, and a small surprise, please go and see A Taste Of Honey, performing, "Boogie Oogie Oogie"
By the way, Morrissey has had quite the solo career. Check out "Kiss me a lot" and the terrific "Suedehead"
Jayvee, I love how you've commented it this, so honest, so precise, so emotional. You're great! You really got It's Over so well! Bravo!
English mothers are the most severe. She is saying, tough son, but why? My mother was brutally honest with me, even driving to the church on my wedding day.
I don't know what is the official meaning of the song, but I have always imagined tha Morrisey fell in love with a man who was engaged with a woman, and that Morrisey and the man kind of develop a thing, but the man always knew that their affair would never be, because of society morals and because he was already engaged.
So for me this was the way of Morrisey to say goodbye to that love, to not be hatefull towars the woman cous she need him, though he thinks he love him more than she does. So the marriege of the groome and the bride represents the funeral for morrisey getting burried in the soil.
Some back story on this
Marr would write the music and post it to Morrissey who would do the lyrics
The band would then record the track and morrrisey would come in last to preform his vocal over the track
So the band would have no idea how he would interpret the music.
Marr said he watched him perform this song and it was one of the most thrilling experiences of his life
" He just kept going there"
There are dozens of guitar parts on this, layered up. Marr was dropping kitchen knives on guitars tuned to open chords.
It's a wonderful song
Johnny Marr and Morrisey made a deal that they got most of the proceeds, and the other 2 blokes got session pay. Johnny Marr wrote all the music and then gave it to Morrisey to put words to it.
i am very happy u react to this song Jav,cos this one always been my favourite smiths song ,u feel a bit exposed listening it
