The Smiths - This Night Has Opened My Eyes (cover)

- This has been the most highly requested cover I've seen coming through in the comments.
I've put off doing it for ages because I find the lyrical content so extremely emotional and sad, but I felt like it was time I could tackle it, so here it is!
About the song (from Google):
Released: 1984
Album: Hatful of Hollow
Artist: The Smiths
Genres: Alternative/Indie, R&B/Soul, Rock, Folk
Lyrics:
In a river the colour of lead
Immerse the baby's head
Wrap her up in the "News Of The World"
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of 25
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will
Oh, save your life
'Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again she left pain
Oh, please save your life
Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
Oh
Oh
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
Oh
Oh
Oh
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad

halfway through and i wanna say that im convinced you do the best covers on any smiths song. its so good
He is amazing! Love them all and have my favorite. He helped me through some rough times.
@@tomaustin5365 truly.. im so inspired to get better at guitar anytime i watch his videos
hai ragione bro
🐯
i agree mane@@area_diciotto
thts cus he does ^^
Oh my god! You covered my favourite Smiths song and the way you did it is... Your voice without a doubt gorgeous but the guitar playing deserves special attention
*Podgy of finger*, he may be, but he doesn't let it hider him.
This song is so underrated. I think one of their best.
The tone of your voice combined with this reverb is exquisite. Your vibrato is perfection with this song. Maybe your finest cover that I’ve heard.
You capture The Smiths unquestionable sincerity.
Jesus Radiohead and The Smiths are the types of artists that shouldn't be covered but here you are, literally bringing something to these already perfect masterpieces. That's huge. Talent is so cool, wow, thank you again for sharing.
This is the best Smiths song and this is also the best concert. Definitively. 👑
if i were in the room watching you play a tear would shed from my eye
Brah, please stop making me cry tears of joy.
I hope non-musicians realize how awesome you are pulling this off.
I love your voice, I love your touch on the guitar.
I don’t know what your plans with this are but I hope I see you in a massive production as soon as possible.
Much love!
Ditto!
Adam you're the undisputed king of covers of The Smiths on RUclips that was bloody excellent mate
From someone who was there back in the 1980s - top class.
You're the The Smith s vibe cover hero. Period
I would pay money to see this live. I havnt seen any covers that even come close. Incredible.
Unreal 👏🏼
divine
Yep. I commented on "There Is A Light" asking if you could do this song, and yes you can. Perfect cover. I'm going to start watching your fingers in these videos to try to learn some of these songs I've always wanted to play.

Lovely as always.
Beautiful ! Could listen to you all day !
I always love your Smiths covers, and I wept with how much sweetness you mix in with the bitterness. Gorgeous.
I have to say, you exemplify the integrity of The Smiths music. When you can play a song on a single instrument and the progression is so fluid, it shows what a good song it was and it shows that you recognized and were able to reproduce all the important structure. Well done.
This is just so fantastic Adam.
It might be my favorite ever on this channel.
Beautiful!
This is my favourite Smiths song and you have absolutely nailed it.
