The two worst feelings in modern society are not having a job and having a job Edit: since writing this comment I managed to become a full-time freelance illustrator doing comics and commissions!

@@ryunzen074 basically, capitalism is a socio-economic system, in which the majority of the means of production is privately owned.

The fact the lyrics are so relatable to billons of people. Like you will look for job, get job and will be miserable. You’ll give valuable time to your jobs, yet your customers and managers don’t really care if you live or die👍
His father kept telling him to find a job but he kept answering nothing was suitable for him. He eventually got a job in an office and the hospital where his father was working but he hated it. He hated normal jobs then when he started a band he understood what he wanted to do. Watch the movie "England is mine" (you can find it in streaming if you search 123movies and the the title), it's the movie about him right before he started with the Smiths, when he didn't know what to do with his life. It's a nice movie.
The Smiths music has a reputation for being sad and depressing, and although some of the lyrics are, it also makes you badly want to fall in love and make it work with someone. Morrissey also has the voice of an Angel. God bless him.
My dad used to listen to this song all the time, he would always said I had a pompadour, just like morrissey. I never saw it because of how airy and un-gelled it was. Then I saw this music video. He was right. Miss you, old bastard. Update: this is a blast to play bass to
I remember working night shift at a warehouse job. I was listening to this and hit me real hard. Made me tear up, had to compose myself because everything was going downhill for me and I was stuck. I feel a lot better now
been listening to this for years, unemployed. after working the first two days of my 9 to 5 i can finally say i can relate, been waiting for this moment my whole life
The contrast of happy and uplifting music, in a major key pitched against poignant lyrics is a genius musical juxtaposition. It's a brilliant song.... 2024 and this track doesn't age.
This bassline really is something else. It conveys a feeling so deep, it is hard to put words on it. Blissful despair, maybe ? It honestly might be my favourite bassline, ever. What a sound.
Rourke is such a lovely bass player, always playing something melodic and interesting. As if having Morrissey and Marr wasn’t enough, they also had Rourke..... and Joyce wasn’t bad either!
Precisely why I’m sitting down with bass in hand learning it note for note it’s a subtle and crafted to perfection bass line it’s profound while not being one note more complex than needed it’s quite an examPle of bass heaven
You know, the combination of the uplifting melody and semi/depressed lyrics are like when you talk about your suicidal feelings and laugh histerically as you talk about it.
I met this boy at school, and he was everything to me at one point . when your young I guess you think things will last forever, but he hurt me multiple times through out the relationship, the last time I say him we got into a small physical altercation but that was just enough for me to say I did not wanna go to his house again, then the song says “I would rather not go back to the old house” it just fit for me
This song gives me a feeling of the end of a disco or a party when people have coupled up and gone home and the rest are drunk slow dancing on their own, and you're just sat on the side watching them.
I fondly remember when I discovered THE SMITHS. It was Summer ‘06, and not a week (more like a day!) has gone by that their music isn’t playing in my car, or at home. Their music saved me, and changed my life for the better.
You ever get the dilemma of being really into an older band or artist but can't be arsed trawling through all of their albums to find their better songs, but at the same time feel guilty that you only know their most popular songs?
Yes. I didn't get that though with the smiths bc they don't have a lot of albums. I usually just listen to the albums of the 80s and if I like em enough I just expand from there
+Jordan Wilson Yes, but The Smiths are worth going beyond their most popular songs. And they only have four albums (five if you include Louder Than Bombs because most of the songs on it aren't on the studio albums).
This song has one of the most realistic, down to earth and authentic lyrics ever written which accurately portrays how we think and feel about everyday life situations, plus the guitar riff was great too! Very underrated song. Long live The Smiths!🙏🎸 ❤🏴
This song perfectly sums up being 23 years old, holding a 9 to 7 job, with only 1 or 2 real friends, having to deal with fake people and realizing the guy or gal you want to date doesn't give a shit about you.
Xavier Vera uh hello it's the Smith's most tragic band in history.. they sing about death and comas.. and the queen is dead and meat is Murder etc... all tragic topics..
I love how cheerful the riff sound and the beginning and then a sudden scream of melancholy and desperation that contrast the general rythm of the song. Almost like when we pretend to be happy or content while we struggle inside.
If this had 10bn views there may have been some hope for this civilization... alas we are on our way... it will soon be ruclips.net/video/GgyQufB1Yic/видео.html
Stellar_Fungk Ofcourse they wouldn't have been. It's like Aerosmith without Joe Perry, The Beatles without Paul Mcartney. The lead singer can't make everything on his own. I don't know why Morrissey is an idiot though? (although I don't really like him).
Nora Bataityte great band overall for their time. Wildly influential. If Moz wouldn't have been such a prick about everything, they could have extended to the 90's but even so, their legacy for such a short period was great
Completely agreed, I kinda wish they could've extended into 90's and kinda not - this way their songs don't repeat themselves and are original. But if they were playing even now, I wouldn't miss a chance to see them, that would be amazing
The truth is The Smith are are so good at what they do they almost steal they show from each other its overewhelming on some songs like this - who do you follow !
"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed "You've been in the house too long" she said And I naturally fled In my life Why do I smile At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now "You've been in the house too long" she said And I naturally fled In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die :')
I broke up with the love of my life couple days ago. I was suicidal enough before, now this. I dont know how to get out, but still i believe that there is some hope. This music reminds me of that. Thank you the smiths, and thank u for the time of my life my love
well here I am four months later actually bothered to listen to more than three songs and I feel enlightened but also disappointed in myself for leaving it so long possibly a new favorite band beside Blur, My Chemical Romance, Pulp and Placebo :)
He was actually making fun of the irony of a name like mercurial feminist and the association of such name with a current of feminism that seems to be overreacting of even the minor transgressions to their ideology
Listening to this, my final interview for my dream job in two days. And I’m in a foreign country singing along to this song in my hotel room. I’ve known misery for so long. Now I’m hopeful and filled with courage. Hope anyone reading this enjoy the rewards and fruits of the fight. The resilience. And the faith in yourself. Cheers.
Oriana, no hay un día que no extrañe la forma en que cantabas está canción, no hay semana que no te recuerde, pasaron años, todavía sigo amándote y esperando un febrero a tu lado, aunque sea una brevedad.
after knowing the context for this song from his 1984 interview. It hits different knowing i also i had a very similar experience. reminds me alot of a horrible time in my life were we had to move & live in my aunt's place. there were other relatives also sharing the same household. some of the issues I've experienced was the lack of privacy, interpersonal conflicts, limited autonomy, financial strains & role conflict like having to look after someone else's child.. an unemployed muslim uncle who was mostly the man in charge of the house was the person i greatly despise being around with. he would often give me orders & get yelled at when I fail or not respond immediately to his commands. i hate how much he reminds me like my mother.. it seems like everywhere I go, no matter the family structure (nuclear, extended/joint or single parent) there's always seems to be neverending disputes or unresolved issues between other people. sometimes I wonder why couldn't we just all grow up & get along?
My mom passed away a month ago and I've been listening to the Smiths a lot, I dont even know why I'm commenting here. I dont even know what to do, but I like this music. The lyrics are pretty relatable.
'Why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live or die"

Very sad😢 59 years old
Rest In Peace Andy 😭. I will forever treasure him as a brilliant bassist.

He was a very good musician. The Smiths wrote and performed original and well composed songs.

This song perfectly sums up being 23 years old, holding a 9 to 7 job, with only 1 or 2 real friends, having to deal with fake people and realizing the guy or gal you want to date doesn't give a shit about you.
you good, bud?
@@mscott1833 I don't think he is
I hope you are an antinatalist
bro... relax
I could've written the exact same comment. Let us thank the heavens for the smiths.
This song is like dancing to your own tragedy. Like a madman laughing at the rain.
Xavier Verá jajajajajaja true
Xavier Vera 🖤
Ben Donnelly I think you may have misunderstood the comment...
Xavier Vera callate ridiculo
Xavier Vera uh hello it's the Smith's most tragic band in history.. they sing about death and comas.. and the queen is dead and meat is Murder etc... all tragic topics..
"Two lovers entwined pass me by, and heaven knows I'm miserable now"
Why does that line *still* have to make me cry? 😢
In my life why do I give time to people
Lonliness....
Gayness?
In the morning there are lovers in the park, they look so high. You brush against a stranger and you both apologize. Joni Mitchell
Because like most people nowadays you have emotional incontinence.
Why do I i want to go back to the 80s and just live in this moment eternally? This is timelessly georgeous!!!
I love how cheerful the riff sound and the beginning and then a sudden scream of melancholy and desperation that contrast the general rythm of the song.
Almost like when we pretend to be happy or content while we struggle inside.
'why do i smile at people who id rather kick in the eye'
That's the best way to describe Smith's music.
Music is my happi place.
It's so true. We fear that if we show our true feelings...we'll be ridiculed so put that happy facade on. It's exhausting sometimes.
Such juxtaposition
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!
i know you post the same comment everywhere but godaym you got some good music taste
Eu sou apaixonado por esta música. Me leva nos meus 15 anos, lá em 2001.
I needed that.
YOU R SO RIGHT!!!!
If this had 10bn views there may have been some hope for this civilization... alas we are on our way...
it will soon be ruclips.net/video/GgyQufB1Yic/видео.html
how much taller does morrissey's quiff have to be before it becomes a separate member of the band
THE funniest comment ever. BRAVO.
you get a gold star for this one
+Emily Howes (Em) The BEST. Just, THE, BEST. I really really needed that laugh. Cheers!!
+Emily Howes (Em) Wow..This was funny ! Thanks for the laugh I'm still having.
+Emily Howes (Em) If it did, he'd sue it for royalties.
Song is a masterpiece
You're not in wrong generation you just love old music
good music.... the type of music they dont make anymore.
ok and how do you have the same style and not be criticized lol
@@hamburgler9839 simply wrong
Naw he's right this generations music SUCKS ASS!
@@hamburgler9839 They made bad music then and make good music now, feel free to look for either of the two.
How can you not love The Smiths?
The Smiths is good, Morrissey is an idiot. I don't think The Smiths would have been that big without Johnny Marr's fantastic musicianship.
Stellar_Fungk Ofcourse they wouldn't have been. It's like Aerosmith without Joe Perry, The Beatles without Paul Mcartney. The lead singer can't make everything on his own. I don't know why Morrissey is an idiot though? (although I don't really like him).
***** umm wow, thanks for enlightening me haha, he sounds like such a douche!
Nora Bataityte great band overall for their time. Wildly influential. If Moz wouldn't have been such a prick about everything, they could have extended to the 90's but even so, their legacy for such a short period was great
Completely agreed, I kinda wish they could've extended into 90's and kinda not - this way their songs don't repeat themselves and are original. But if they were playing even now, I wouldn't miss a chance to see them, that would be amazing
Can everyone just take a moment and appreciate the greatness of Andy Rourke and his bass playing. It really puts this song on a different level!
True.
Just checking this out for the fist time and thats my favorite part of the song.
He inspired me to start playing bass
The truth is The Smith are are so good at what they do they almost steal they show from each other its overewhelming on some songs like this - who do you follow !
Ikr! He was one of the people who inspired me to play bass
i love the smiths
his dance is the highlight of this video tbh
and his voice!
for me, the highlight is the plaid jacket combined with the dot patterned shirt that somehow... works
+patrick plus the branch in his back pocket brings the whole outfit together :p
His name is Morrissey you know.
Precisely ^
I love listen to the Smiths on rainy days, its like a obligation
me too!! haha

You're right
'I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now'
so simple but so true.
This song makes me feel miserably happy in a way i just cant explain 😅
“Why do I smile at people I’d much rather kick in the eye?”
I’ve never connected with lyrics so deeply.
I just noticed this part of the lyrics for the first time and came looking for comments. I actually found it really funny.
Fits for any workplace
@@NesrocksGamingVideos same 😭✋
I always hear that
The question that is perpetually cycling through every retail/customer service worker's mind.
"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now"
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die
:')

Listening to Smiths is like a warm Sunday Bath but inside you know you're dying
Holy shit your comment touched my soul on a genuine strong spiritual level
Exactly
Brilliant
Yknow what else..... ah forget it. Heheh.... You wouldnt evenwhat to think of me..
the warm Sunday bath knowing tomorrow is school and you hate school you dread the weekend ending.
I broke up with the love of my life couple days ago. I was suicidal enough before, now this. I dont know how to get out, but still i believe that there is some hope. This music reminds me of that. Thank you the smiths, and thank u for the time of my life my love
I hope you are doing okay! Life throws a lot of hard balls our way but you are strong enough to pull through! Best wishes to you!
**casually has entire tree in back pocket of pants**
It's in his ass dude he's gay but his music is fucking awesome this dude is my inspiration. I'm not gay tho.
+Hardhittingdave 420 oh shit, thanks for clarifying dude. I totally thought you were gay at first, so thanks for setting the record straight :')
Hardhittingdave 420 okay, and? haha
+Hardhittingdave 420 you should probably just delete your comment and account
I haven´t noticed until I saw your comment, I FEEL BLIND NOW MY GAWD
his voice is so nice. I'd listen to him singing all day.
I agree
the voice is nice but the person isn’t
@@simon-di7xt Go cry some more commie.
@@simon-di7xt true
I hate his voice, but listen to some songs due to the lyrics and melody. He annoys the hell out of me.
That Caligula line may be my favorite lyric ever.

Cool

Rest Easy in heaven King
yea
Damn, I've heard this band around a lot but never listened to them, and this is some good shit.
basically speaks for anybody who hasnt listened to them intentionally which is everybody
My friends sister recommended them to me and I'm in love
there are many excellent 80s bands.... especially the Brit indies..... lived through the 80s believe me 😊😊
Yeah they're fucking incredible.
well here I am four months later actually bothered to listen to more than three songs and I feel enlightened but also disappointed in myself for leaving it so long
possibly a new favorite band beside Blur, My Chemical Romance, Pulp and Placebo :)
As a 14 year old I absolutely love this song and listen to it multiple times per day
No need To Mention Your Age Lil bro
@@Another_Austrian_painter yes there is. it’s an old song and he’s highlighting how younger people still listen to it.
Oh, why I discovered this band just now? It's so perfect
Ana Carolina Piaggi Haha same here!
They're perf
Sad u missed a ton
better now than never
Haha well it will change your life. And you are lucky
Johnny Marr was 21, what a legend.
He’s more then a legend
Without him The Smiths is just whining, just listen to Morrissey’s solo stuff hahaha. Marr is one of my favorite guitarists
Eu amooooo

Definitely love the Smiths. Something about the tone and tempo which pulls the endorphins to make the day seem alittle easier to endure. R.I.P Andy 💔
The Smiths' trademark pleasant, melodic music with downer lyrics: God , how I love it!
Yup. SO SARDONIC. Has everyone in this world lost their sense of irony? Seems so.
Me too ❤
his lyrics and his dance moves are so completely dissonant from each other it's fucking great
I feel like his dance moves goes well together with the song lol
It's marvelous how the word feminist can evoke the jerkiest of jerks out of nowhere
Luiz Guilherme B.S. shut up white knight jk lol
ó_ò"
He was actually making fun of the irony of a name like mercurial feminist and the association of such name with a current of feminism that seems to be overreacting of even the minor transgressions to their ideology
The soundtrack to my life.
been listening to morrisey since high school.
This is still my fave record, I was 12 when it was released.
i agree with you MATE morrissey is a genioua
i agree with you MATE morrissey is a genioua

David Thomas I was 17 and this brilliant song spoke and said so much more to me than all the books I had read!
Absolutely stunning
Listening to this, my final interview for my dream job in two days. And I’m in a foreign country singing along to this song in my hotel room. I’ve known misery for so long. Now I’m hopeful and filled with courage. Hope anyone reading this enjoy the rewards and fruits of the fight. The resilience. And the faith in yourself. Cheers.
Good luck internet dude on you interview tomorrow
Keep us updated
Thank you brother 🙏🏻 I needed to read that ❤️
did you get it?
It aint that deep dawg
The fact that I can actually see my grandpa in the crowd ❤
that's cool
Wow, that's awesome! Wish I was there too
Ah nice. Do you like the smith's now, must remind you of your gd
thats super cool

Those hips don't lie mate!
What are you saying? Caligula would have blushed at your comments, haha just kidding
Haha :D
JENNiFER OLSSON ahaha
chicks know hips.
that means hes a hipster!
Johnny marr ladies and gentlemen one of the greatest guitarists ever! The chords and sounds he makes are just brilliant.
the way he dances is so attractive
It reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.
it's because he is a classic power bottom
sexy sway.... always the charming man... ❤❤❤❤
Grachi Isabella I believe I know is what you meant to say.
+BDDominick75 Lo siento hahahahah. Lo escribí súper mal, eso pasa por querer creerme gringa, hahaha.
The smiths proved that music can tell a story without having to rhyme every verse.
Yes, learnt well from Mark E Smith of The Fall...
@@realkeanureviews Always felt when listening to them that it was a conversation set to musical notes.
Yes, cos no Smiths songs ever rhythm, do they… twat
This gorgeous song resonates with me at 60 as it did at 23! It's truely timeless.
It's been that long?????? Wtf
😑 I'm 23 now ...u saying this feeling Gon stay til I'm 60 😂🔫
noted x
I’m 60 and likewise find this truly timeless.
Oriana, no hay un día que no extrañe la forma en que cantabas está canción, no hay semana que no te recuerde, pasaron años, todavía sigo amándote y esperando un febrero a tu lado, aunque sea una brevedad.
I just discovered the Smiths as of yesterday. Needless to say, I'm pretty hooked.
Noob.

fuck ya mang
the smiths are the shit
+AVET87 That's cool, better late than never!
AVET87 JS man haha do you like Joy division?
Take a moment to appreciate the wonderful bass line
Yeh the baseline s always 'sweet'
The Smiths songs are a creative blend of genius, sarcasm and comedy.
after knowing the context for this song from his 1984 interview. It hits different knowing i also i had a very similar experience. reminds me alot of a horrible time in my life were we had to move & live in my aunt's place.
there were other relatives also sharing the same household. some of the issues I've experienced was the lack of privacy, interpersonal conflicts, limited autonomy, financial strains & role conflict like having to look after someone else's child..
an unemployed muslim uncle who was mostly the man in charge of the house was the person i greatly despise being around with. he would often give me orders & get yelled at when I fail or not respond immediately to his commands. i hate how much he reminds me like my mother..
it seems like everywhere I go, no matter the family structure (nuclear, extended/joint or single parent) there's always seems to be neverending disputes or unresolved issues between other people. sometimes I wonder why couldn't we just all grow up & get along?
My mom passed away a month ago and I've been listening to the Smiths a lot, I dont even know why I'm commenting here. I dont even know what to do, but I like this music. The lyrics are pretty relatable.
Jeff Bates take it easy An pray
What an amazing songwriter. Every line is so familiar and let's you know that we are not alone in the feelings we experience
Well said 💜
é foda
The smiths heal me alot with their music ❤
Heaven knows I'm miserable now.. RIP Andy -- thank you for your beautiful bass lines. ❤🎸🎵
i swear this band heals me so much
