I've enjoyed all your Tool reactions, and I'm here for The Smiths 100%. "I Know It's Over"
Thanks so much, Roger! Looking forward to the depression this band will surely bring. 😎
@@MusicCatsandCoffee hahaha! Those songs as you might find are actually like anti-depressants for the depressed! Speaking for myself and millions of fans! Firstly you hear them and know you aren't alone and there's someone who feels the same, and that person is able to describe those feelings in ways that you can't, also Morrissey has a way of injecting humour in the mix, so many people describe those song lyrics as "dark" well he might use dark humour and he's very tongue in cheek and self deprecating but he's singing about real human experience, thoughts and feelings that most people, if they're honest with themselves, feel from time to time or have felt that way before, it's part of life, he gets a lot of shit for being depressing but well, he does suffer from depression! (Although he is much older and has said much happier than he was in The Smiths) there's much to know about Morrissey and I really hope you are able to ignore any negative, often inaccurate and ignorant comments that people like to make about him, just enjoy the music and what Morrissey brings!
damn I've seen so many Smiths reactions and this is the first one that really brings up Andys impact on the band and he died today.. may he rest in peace, one of the greatest to do it
the Smiths songs actually gave hope to a lot of depressed teenagers and 'misfits' that they weren't alone
Oh man, I wish I could hear this for the first time again. This sounds like my teenage bedroom…
When this album dropped (like a bomb) in 1984, I was 17 years old. I was a very, very shy person and struggled through high school and this song spoke to me on so many levels......I have been married now for 29 years. .... but I still come back to this song for nostalgic purposes .
Well I Wonder is such a GEM of theirs
No one is saying “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” 🤔
My favourite band. And this is their best song, it gives me chills since 1984. I was fortunate enough to see Johnny Marr playing it live with Andy on bass by his side. Now you must listen to “Half a Person”, “Girl Afraid”, “Please, Please, Please…”, “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore”, “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet Baby”, “Reel Around the Fountain”… Gosh, they have so many great tunes.
A cover version was used as the opening theme for the TV show Charmed that aired in the late 1990s and early 2000s on the WB Network.
The reason the song sounds so modern is because it was one of the inspirations for Alternative and Grunge music in the 1990s.
the smiths "last night i dreamt that somebody loved me" is one of their most depressing and beautiful songs
“i know it’s over”is really really good
"I know its over" is brilliant...
You can’t go wrong with any Smiths song but I definitely put in a vote for “That joke isn’t funny anymore “ as it’s a personal fave
Girlfriend in a coma, the boy with the thorn in his side, there is a light that never goes out, this charming man and lots more my darling.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is The Smiths. They have such great songs, many with great lyrics. The most popular one is "There is a Light That Never Goes Out." But if you are looking for a slow song with incredible lyrics, listen to "I know it's Over." I look forward to you discovering more of their songs.
I Know It's Over ... could not agree more
@@joshs8685 You should give Jeff Buckley's version a listen. The best cover I have ever heard.
This song is walking at night under street lights in the rain after drinking, or driving at night as the street lights reflect in the windscreen.
In the UK in midwinter is all I could add
I love that you’ve mentioned the bass, as Andy Rourke the bass guitarist passed away today! RIP.
*I love reaching into the depression basket*
This song could be 48 minutes long and it still wouldn't be long enough !
For depressing lyrics, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
For bass, Frankly Mr. Shankly
The Smiths are sardonic perfection. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, Girlfriend In A Comer, There Is A Light.... so much for you to dig into.
The opening to CHARMED tv show! and The Craft!
Love the shout out to Andy Rourke and recognise him, sadly passed away a couple of days ago
If you want more deliciously depressing genius by The Smiths ... "I Know It's Over" is a MUST listen.
This Charming Man..,..bass.....nuff said. You're welcome.😁
The Smiths - Well I Wonder...lyrical genius
Their album The Queen Is Dead is a masterpiece. Start with "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"
Start with the first song
Oh you have to do There is a light and it Never goes out, This Charming Man and the best instrumental track of all time Oscillate Wildly
"This night has opened my eyes" is a shockingly good song.
This song was played almost every week even into the 90's at the 950 Club in Chicago and always packed the dance floor.
You might like their song Accept Yourself. It's like a motivational speech - Morrissey style!
The boy with the thorn in his side, There is a light that never goes out, What difference does it make, Heaven knows I'm miserable now, Ask and I'll stop now to give someone else a go but I could go on.....but I won't.....no I really won't.....though I want to....but I won't.
THE greatest and most influential band of their generation.
Gritty, sad, funny and heartfelt lyrics, Johnny Marr’s melodic guitar mixed with Andy Rourke’s awesome bass
Seriously, they are the two best things about the Smiths. The arrangements they've come up with are so good I lack words
Johnny Marr is a legend. He inspired a whole generation of guitarists in the UK. He was the musical force behind The Smiths. Morrisey's lyrics were the cherry on top. The band broke up as quickly as they formed.
Hey Morrissey, get out of my diary.
Unrequited love suggestions, please.
And also, I figured out how I know this intro. They used it in The Wedding Singer! 😄
How about the literal song "Unrequited Love" by Thundercat🤣 (it's actually fantastic but the style is very different from most of the stuff you cover on here)
It does get pretty depressing with "Suffer Little Children", but in a different way. And probably only, if one knows the real life tragedies behind the lyrics.
"Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" (one of my favourites, not much bass there, but a great intro...) or "I Know it's Over" might fit better. "Meat is Murder" is another one - nothing to do with love, though. "This Night Has Opened My Eyes"... "Back to the Old House" has some nice bass too :)
So many great songs to chose from. Some of Morrissey's lyrics are pretty on the nose, others are much more ambiguous and hard to tell what they were really about.
Pictures of You, by The Cure
I think they also used it for the TV show Charmed
The smiths - Last night i felt somebody loved me. Such a beautiful melancholic track. Morrisey, marr, joyce and rourke on form. Such and epic song.
Andy was an amazing bass player. Outstanding
How soon is now is definitely one of the most hypnotic songs I’ve ever listened too! I remember dancing to this song at prom and just being in my own headspace even though I was dancing with my prom date! She loved it too!
Do “Bigmouth strikes again” please. Unbelievable jamming Very underrated unsung hero of this band.
More The Smiths and Morrissey reaction 👍🏻 definitely do some of there videos reaction as well
Smiths song “ There is a light that never goes out”. Great hit from them and such great vocals. You”ll love it
You going on about the bass makes me wanna see you react to headmasters ritual, unhappy birthday, this charming man, these things take time and barbarism starts at home.
And...
Cemetery gates, a boy with a thorn in his side, bigmouth strikes again and stop me if you think you heard this one before.
So happy you gave rourke props. Hes criminally underated.
Excellent song choice. Morrissey has such a great voice. I remember hearing this as a kid in the early 90s and really liking it. Timeless track. Suedehead is another good one 👍
The whole Viva Hate album is a classic and essential listening IMO
At the time, Morrissey was Marmite. Most people (like me) found him too whiny. It took me a couple of years to attune to his voice; I like most of his songs now.
Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me ---- you will love that one!
This song, I Know It's Over and Well I Wonder are my favorite songs by the Smiths. Definitely check out the two other tracks I mentioned, there's also an amazing cover of I know it's over by the great Jeff Buckley
Loving loving your smiths reaction the best band ever.listen to well I wonder, so beautiful
Try "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" or "Everyday Is Like Sunday" from Morrissey - both beautiful and very depressing
Reel Around the Fountain is a great song with great bass.
Really enjoy yours Smiths reactions,please continue
Great reaction. This song was sampled in ‘Hippie Chick’. If you like depressing Morrissey lyrics: Angel Angel Down We Go Together, Disappointed
Please please let me get what I want...Johnny Marr on the mandolin.
Morrissey is a depression wordsmith with a slight twist of humor. Try "The Headmaster Ritual," or "Half a Person."
I know it’s over. I won’t share you and asleep.
Such a classic, this song is amazing
Wrong.
Wow! I’ve known this song for ever, I’ve always liked this song, always known what it was about but somehow, you & I seeing the lyric written down for the 1st time …. It just hit me hard! Maybe reminding me of a time in my life I keep suppressed or something. Felt I needed to share that for some reason.
asleep is perfect
You can't get better lyrics than from There's a Light that Never Goes Out.
Just discovered your channel. I guess sometimes the algorithm gets recommendations right. Music, cats and coffee pretty sums up my life too. Love this song and The Smiths in general. How Soon is Now was covered by t.A.T.u. I went to check it out expecting it to be really dire but surprisingly not too bad at all.
Hey there. Welcome! 🙂
What difference does it make! The best Smiths song and an awesome bass line!
It makes all the difference, obviously. 🙂
I'm not sure what we're even talking about.
Edit: That's a song title, isn't it? LOL! Never mind then.
Morrissey is such a fabulous lyricist.
Some of the greatest lines. Headmasters Ritual, wheel around the Fountain and This Charming Man.
Morrisey is the opposite of good wine as a person. But The Smiths rocked your depression !😁
Oooo. This is a guilty pleasure song for me
You are instantly my favorite youtube channel
Woo!
There's a Manchester rabbit-hole that surfaces everywhere in Britain put your raincoat on it's a hell of a ride.
New wave for the win. ♥️
If you dig this I have some recommendations!
Echo & the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
Bauhaus - Dark Entries
The Psychedelic Furs - The Ghost In You
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
I second Echo and the Bunnymen
No one asked for this.
"Timeless" is a good way to describe it. I only know how old it is because I heard it every now and then as I grew up in the 80s, but it still holds up today. I've never paid much attention to the lyrics, but thanks to you, I now know! They are very relatable, unfortunately. Out of curiosity, do you like "The Cure"? I think the two bands have some similarities in sound and depressing lyrical content.
Timeless, yes. Good word. I LOVE these lyrics. Glad I could bring them to your attention.
The only Cure songs I know: Lovesong, Friday I'm in Love, Pictures of You, Just Like Heaven (maybe, the title sounds familiar)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee Yeah, the lyrics are really good. They're sparse, but they get the point across. Those are good pop hits by The Cure, but you should listen to "100 Years" by them. It's a completely different sound from those, with bleak and depressing lyrics. I mean, the first line is, "It doesn't matter if we all die" and it only gets more uplifting from there. Great song!
What Difference Does it Make is the Ultimate Smiths Song👌
Forgive me if I am going over old ground here but I only just stumbled upon this video.
Dont forget, How Soon Is Now was originally recorded and released as a B side. 4 or 5 months later it was released as an A side single. One of the many head scratching moments from band and record company during their short but brilliant career.
Half A Person and Well I Wonder are absolute gems of The Smiths back catalogue if you have not checked them out already. Dark and moving yet at the same time uplifting and full of joy. Nobody nailed that quite like these 4 lads.
The Smiths were the band of my teenage years back during the 80s. They continue to be the band of my life. Morrissey, during this period had so many top notch quotes, lines and lyrics that have found their way on to many peoples skin as tattoos. My favourite of all being from Rubber Ring, "but don't forget the songs that made you cry and the songs that saved your life".
This relates to every Smiths song, for me, right there. Bonus points also go to his words from I Know It's Over, "it''s so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind.
Just beautiful.
I loved your reaction to this. Made my day. X
Thank you for your comments! Hearing this song made MY day. I listen to it regularly. ☺️
Reel around the fountain
Brilliant
You really need to do ''Girlfriend in a Coma''
More Smiths reactions please Lauren.
You probably know it from the opening credits of Charmed. Stuck in my head since childhood. Damn good song though. I'd recommend 'There is a light that never goes out' next. Though if you want to go really dark, 'I know its over' is as dark as it gets including every edgy metal band out there. Its like Poe
Is that the Everclear version that they used for this? I wondered, if people might know their version better than the original.
You had me at Poe.
You'd love Nothing Lasts Forever by Echo and the Bunny Men😊
Morrissey “November Spawned a Monster” pretty depressing but the lyrics are amazing.
There is a light that never goes out.
Unrequited love: ..."Jeane"... "I know it's over"
I still spend time on the weekends, trashing love songs on my own now. Thank you for the new free time activity 🎉.
I actually know this song, I do not know how yet, but that could just be old age lol.
Why wait for the weekend? Love needs to be put in its place every damn day--its place being the dumpster out back.
@@MusicCatsandCoffee I fully agree. The weekend is the only time I care to think of love, and it’s only to trash it now.
Thanks!
Thanks so much! This has become one of my favorite songs of all time. 😊
You found the 'Pope of Mope', 'There is a Light and it never goes out',' I know it's Over' ,'Miserable Lie' , 'I want the one I can't have'
Hello Lauren. I've loved your responses to their songs, they've been very funny, and very insightful, and I love that you've found them. Personally, if you want heartbreakingly beautiful, I'd recommend the Hatful of Hollow album cut of "Back to the Old House", or "Well I Wonder", from the album Meat is Murder; a song I'd liked played at my funeral, with the instruction that nobody can leave until the rain stops. You'll understand once you've heard it. Best wishes from England.
Half a person is another great track
Tatu covered the song and made it their own but the best version remains the Smiths version. It was the first song i heard from them a long time ago and was overwhelmed by the song and like many others by Morrissey's voice like Mazzy star Hope Sandoval's voice overwhelmed me years later.
In that short period they excisted the Smiths created so many great songs. Is how soon is now their magnum opus? I think it is although they created so many other great songs like well i wonder, reel around the fountain, that joke isn't funny anymore, William, it was really nothing, death of a disco dancer, the queen is dead, last night i dreamt somebody loved me, meat is murder, i know it's over, asleep, there is a light that never gets out and this small one...Please please please let me get what i want.
That's an incredible best of that makes you realise how exceptional they were. Each song is unique and timeless.
GREAT song by another band unknown to many >> Sloan ruclips.net/video/XathlGp_ZvQ/видео.html
"There is a light that never goes out', "This night has opened my eyes" and "I know its over" are a few. there are so many other great Smiths songs, and after the Smiths split, Morrissey went out on his own, and has had a string of albums since then, "Suedhead", "everyday is like sunday" and "Irish blood english heart" are a few of the ones I can remember that are really good from his solo stuff.
That part you reconized is in The Wedding Singer, maybe that's where you heard it before.
The Smiths, Boy George, Elvis Costello, Oasis etc were part of the large number of children born to Irish parents who immigrated to Britain in the 1950's and 1960's and whose children came of age in the 1980's and 1990's.
Some other great Andy bass… ‘Still ill’, ‘Cemetery Gates’, ‘These Things Take Time’.
Soho sampled this song for 'hippiechick'
Experiential metaphysical expressionisf simplicity complexity to ponder sonically
1. Rubber Ring (Mike Joyce's Drums are FIRE)
2. There is a Light that Never Goes Out
Welcome to New Wave. The Smiths, huh? Wait until You listen to the Psychedelic Furs.
When we first heard these songs in the ‘80’s, we didn’t know the lyrics, so it was the sounds that made an impression.
Love Spit Love ... from The Craft
if you like the bass, check out "Bigmouth Strikes Back" by them!
Catharsis through singing the pain away.
For a long time I thought the lyrics were "I am the sun and the air" vice "I am the son and the heir"
In terms of songs that Ive listened to the most times in my life, this song is likely in my top 10.....and Im an Opeth/Katatonia/Porcupine Tree (all things Steven Wilson) fanatic, so that's saying something.
Thanks young lady - it would have been nice to see you reacting to this 45 years ago.
I love New Wave music - Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode. I should mention that Depeche Mode is one of Pete Loeffler’s favorite 80s bands.
I’ve mentioned CheVelle’s cover of DMs song “It’s No Good”, but I am fine with you checking out the original too if you don’t know it. I didn’t realize it was an unrequited love song until Pete sang it because of the way David Gahan sings the song.
Anyway, the beginning of this song was sampled in a very annoying song called “Hippychick.” Every time I hear the opening, I hold my breath wondering if it’s this song I love or the one I hate. LOL
Today I realized I had most of the lyrics wrong. I thought he was saying he was the sun and the earth and the summoner of nothing in particular. 😂
😂
I f*cking knew it.
I wish I knew!
I saw this reaction video and and I watched this reaction video and heaven knows I'm miserable now...
