![The Smiths - This Charming Man [Reaction]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NpL2lB0n3FU/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm in love with Morrissey's vocals.. he just has a way to deliver that is really unique. Love this band so much.
Johnny Marr plays every chord with a gold-dipped plectrum descended from heaven! Andy Rourke, meanwhile, plays bass like Bootsy Collins woke up on morning to find he'd joined T-Rex.
RIP Andy Rourke (Bass), such an underrated player.
Very sad indeed.
Screw Layla, this is the best opening line a six strings ever bled.
The Smiths First album is so alternative, genuine and honest. Morrisseys lyrics are great and all musicians are on fire on this album. It’s personally my favourite by them and you would dig it too.
I love it too but it's completely flat compared to their live set.
Highly cinematic song. Right at the first line, pitching the scene to the film company: _"Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate."_ He's stuck in life, needs a lift. There's the road winding through a forest. The story does not ring as bright as the upbeat melody suggests, there's a dark side to it, might end in tragedy. As director of this short film, I can only think of Italian masters --Visconti, Olmi, Pasolini.
This was the first Smiths song I ever heard and it was the beginning of something special for me. I was mainly listening to punk and other heavy music at that time but found the song stuck in my mind like a melodic tick.
Marr’s guitar is otherworldly.
The Smiths is a love that never dies.
Rip Andy Rourke
RIP Andy 🙏
The guitarist here, Johnny Marr played on THE THE track dogs of lust. Give that a play you'll love it
Great to hear some more Smiths on the channel!
This track wasn't on the original release of The Smiths album. However a version of it did appear on Hatful of Hollow. Strictly speaking, H of H was a compilation album, but I think it has better examples of their early work than The Smiths does. At least try the song Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, which has another fantastic bass line.
Great, great single. Essential for guitar pop/80s indie.
I like your style.The Smiths are iconic,and don’t forget Johnny Marr’s contribution to their success.
The bass line in this song is fabulous. Glad you’re hitting the upbeat Smiths! Also: we are getting very close to The Wall! I can’t wait!
Good on ya for listening to some more Smiffs, Justin. Also because it was only fairly recently that their bassist Andy Rourke sadly had passed away. They have loads more great songs, as had already been mentioned by others, and I'm adding 'Hand In Glove' to their suggestions 😊👍
Rather weirdly Rick Astley sung a selection of Smith’s songs at Glastonbury a few weeks ago with the band called The Blossoms. He did quite a good job. It’s probably on RUclips somewhere.
Dear JP . One needs to listen to
' Barbarism begins at home' .
Andy on the bass is a genius. Watching your videos I've noticed that you're partial to a bit of bass. 😊( I do prefer the live versions, so you can see them ) it's just fabulous though and quickly became one of my favourites. ( meat is murder album p.s )
The first cd I ever bought was The Smiths ‘Hatful of Hollow’ in ‘84. Didn’t even have a cd player!
I don't think anyone did!
Love your channel and.I must say,your comments section is chock full of real insight and commentary! Refreshing!!
Thanks Norman! The comment section here is very helpful :D
Fantastic reaction ❤ my favourite band
Thanks Patrick!
Great to see you listen to more Smiths. 😊
Unfortunately I think this is maybe their weakest album - much because the best songs of the album tend to be overshadowed by better versions on Hatful of Hollow.
Now Hatful of Hollow is a great record, possibly their best.
All subjective of course 😀
Thanks for your great reaction, please do more Smiths love from Australia!
Perfect music. Had such a huge influence on my life.
This charming Man is on a few albums... I first heard it on their hatfull of hallow album
It was the compilation 'The World Won't Listen' for me 🙂
An amazing song from one of the greatest bands in music history! This entire album is fantastic. One of the best albums ever made. This is actually the first Smiths song I ever heard back in '83 and I was immediately hooked and became a mega fan after that.
Great British 80s band❤
There's another version of this single on Hatful of Hollow! Warmer and cleaner, easier on the ears.
Total classic.
Don't overlook that solid bass line
I saw this reaction video and and I watched this reaction video and heaven knows I'm miserable now...
Wonderful ❤
The older man hitting on a younger man in a vulnerable position. Return the ring - the older man sees something in the younger man to give him this very direct advice. Forget about the puncture. Jump in the seat next to me and we’ll make a life together.
The bass noodling on this track remind me of The Vapors. If you want more complicated background give them a try! (anything but Turning Japanese is fine)
Classic 💯🔥
In the pantheon of pop songs, this track sits close to the top . Perfect.
yep, just like "There is a light that never goes out"
This wasn't on the original UK album, for what it's worth.
Not on the vinyl anyway - see Discogs or see my other comment on this page
The Throbbing Gristle would be from Genesis P. Orridge? :D Sorry the thought got stuck in my head, so I had to dump it somewhere.
Ah, who can forget where they were when they first heard Godstar. That G.P.O, must've been psychic. See what I did there 🙂
@@jfergs.3302 Thanks!
I can still remember it vividly. It was in the narrow room we turned the spare toilet into, during the second big cold front of 2023, a few hours before load shedding kicked in.
There was a beautiful video that went with the music, which brought some warmth into the cold room, and for a moment distracted me from incessant thoughts about whether it must have snowed up in Lesotho and gave me a pause in the great inner debate over whether to shower and shiver, or just stink all nice and almost comfy.
This one: ruclips.net/video/s1yr8w_vZ5E/видео.html
@@sicko_the_ew Interesting... you paint a very vivid picture :) Rather prosaically, i heard it in my mates record store. Then saw the vid a few days later... ahhh, happy days.
Is there a better 'Statement of intent' - first single? (I know technically it was their secoond single.......) Short, sweet and to the point.
A M A Z I N G ...Always punches
Am going to suggest the song "Second Still" by the band Modern Eon,album titled "Fiction Tales".Cheers!
Great music, fabulous lyrics, fantastic, I love your description of this, other songs to check out “The Headmaster Ritual” or “Meat is Murder”
The Smiths.❤❤❤
I'm putting the challenge out there. For those who are so inclined. To answer every comment, in limerick or in rhyme. Maybe you think it can be hard, and takes up too much time? Or just throwing bones to trolling gnomes, and pearls before the swine! But I say to you, it has great reward too. And keeps you limber in your mind! ( added bonus, it will keep Justin guessing, and that's no crime!). Peace and parse with, Love.
There once was a band led by Morrissey
Who’s music was average and chorussy
As you can see
Not my cup of tea
I’d call it somewhat of a boressy
@@jaybird4093 That's the spirit, I'll drink to that!
Morrissey as the hopeless romantic poet... not many copped the subtle twist behind the lyrics when this was first released or, if so simply chose to ignore it.
Ventura?
Prefab Sprout's "Jordan the comeback" please
"A jumped-up pantry boy who doesn't know his place" is from the 1972 movie of "Sleuth". (One of my favourite movies ever.) (And don't bother with the Jude Law remake... it's abysmal.)
But it's probably also a reference to the book Loving by Henry Green - the real source of the "pantry boy" line. And the Green book revolves around the theft of a diamond ring...
@@trashandcheese3636 I wasn't aware of that. Now that makes more sense, thanks!
@@trashandcheese3636 Okay, I've just finished reading that book and there is nowhere at all does it have the phrase "jumped-up pantry boy who doesn't know his place". The words "pantry boy" occur a small number of times but always when referring to 'Raunce's Albert', the young man whose title actually is 'pantry boy'. Nowhere does anybody upbraid someone else with such a phrase, so I must revert to my original stance that it is taken from "Sleuth" (1972).
Please listen to Still Ill
My brother can't get enough of this band. I can, and it's just peaked right now, 3minutes in.
even Robert Smith must like this... oh, actually, no. he can't. he tried. just couldn't. hahaha. Marr WAS the Smiths, mates. a god upon this earth.
Robert Smith *hates* The Smiths! Or at least Morrissey! 😄 He wasn't impressed when he found out his keyboardist Roger O'Donnell was involved in the making of a movie about Morrissey, which Roger had tried to keep a secret from him, too! 😅
@@mightyV444 i know that! hahaha.
@@tbwatch88 - 😁👍 Ol' Bob did like Dinosaur Jr's cover of 'Just Like Heaven', though! He even liked it better than his original! 😄
every one reacts on TCM track from the album. I for one would rather choose Suffer little children
Ditto. Best track on the album, a melancholic masterpiece.
@@jfergs.3302 это же очевидно
@@albrook1018 да
40 years ago yikes
Self titled albums never happen. I could see how you became confused. LUL This tune was alright.
Why do I give valuable time to listening to the Smiths? (only kidding). Here they manage to keeps up with the Jones's. It's a charming enough song. Justin, don't neglect the Chameleons. Keep up the good work.
Musically it's nice but I don't like Morrissey's grandiloquent mannered singing. As rightly pointed out by Jfergs. in the comments, "This Charming Man" was not part of the original album but was a non-album single (well, except for the US as usual!🙄). I always preferred their second album Meat Is Murder.
I never quite felt like "This Charming Man" fit on the album although I enjoy the song thoroughly. Now it all makes sense. I agree that Meat Is Murder is much better!
@@ijustneedmyself Yes, "This Charming Man" is clearly an intruder here, both in terms of sound and more bouncy style.
It's called camp, dear! 😅
@@boq780_2.0 Yes. camp, affected, call it what you want but I find his singing excessive most of the time. It works on some tracks but not always! (then it's a matter of personal taste). Anyway "This Charming Man" is far from bad !
@@a.k.1740 I agree, though I think my tolerance for his warblings is probably greater than yours. I do like character in a vocalist and he had plenty, although I have no time for his later incarnations…
Loved the band, not the singer
Aaaaauhhhhh, the less I see, of Morrissey, the happier my eyes and ears will be! Sorry never been my cuppa Earl Grey tea!( And it has nothing to do with the sexuality).😁,✌&❤.
tatty bye then
Oh, again the more overrated band of ever.
Just a decent song
Much better than say, Taylor Swift, who is leaps and bounds more popular but not nearly as good.
Many worst music, and tons of better music too
that's a hell of an achievement
Became a fan of Morrissey from his early 2000's releases and then a smiths fan. Love this. Shame he bacame such a horrible grumpy old man...
