In 1985, I was 16 and an exchange student in Europe. By the grace of God, I got to see these guys at Glastonbury England! it was incredibly awesome! OMD and Anything Box also played along with Peter Murphy! It was the best time of my life!!
Do think his string work does so much more for these songs than most realise, all’s I’m saying is if I’m humming alone with it it’s the strings I’m humming along to
Johnny Marr. That opening riff. The whole song. Incredible. One of the most underrated guitarists. As a guitarist myself I can say that soloing is infinity easier than the complex chord based riffs Johnny is known for. It's easier to play one note at a time than rapidly switching chords. Also Morrissey. The most gifted and hilarious lyricist and a great singer. He is oscar wilde born again as a rock singer
The reason I started listening to the Smiths was the guitar playing. Along with the bass and drumming. It’s only as I’ve gotten older that I started listening to Morrissey’s lyrics properly.
I've spent the last two weeks learning all the guitar parts to this song. Just brilliant little riffs and arpeggios that constantly move along and fit perfectly. Genius. And the fact that he can rip them off so easily baffles me.
@@jamestolson2526 yeah i like to play jazzy, jam-bandy type of stuff, lots of soloing. To me, soloing is relatively easy compared to good rhythm guitar playing like Marr. Although the phrasing is pretty different, im sure the stuff i like to play isnt too dissimilar to what you play. I mess around with a lot of modal and pentatonic riffs, and im a decent player when it comes down to that kind of stuff, and non-musicians are often particulary impressed, not realizing its as simple as it actually is. I totally suck as a rhythm guitar player though.
Andy Rourke has passed away today. His basse lines gave The Smiths their signature groove. I will listen to the Smiths all day. 😭💗 RIP Andy. Hoy es un día triste.
That line hit me hard after a neighbour and friend introduced it to me as an an awkward 16 yr old boy. I had never heard anything like it before and Morrisseys honesty and openness charmed me instantly. I had actually had a punctured tire on my 60’s-70’s blue Peugeot bicycle on a hillside in cobble hill BC Canada just a few weeks before. No charming man came around though, just an old Dutch farmer on a Massey Ferguson tractor that sneezed at me as he passed me by. Life for me there seemed so very desolate from my limits of perspective being so young. Fell in love with Moz and the smiths then and am still 🤍 I wouldn’t change a thing after being introduced to The Smiths when i was as i can’t imagine going through this life without them.
Welcome to the comment section. It is comprised of memes (mostly ones ragging on Morrissey), people professing their love for this song or the band in general, and that one guy who uses this as a diary.
Yes, Johnny marr is amazing, but can we talk about how brilliant the bass track is in this song Edit: turns out Johnny played the bass on this track too lol. But Andy is still amazing
@@aclark903 a song being high in the charts is invariably a bad sign of its quality, given that the charts favours songs which conform. Conformity is often the worst quality a song can have. True art should be original
back then bands had muisicians,not the crap we have nowadays,that´s why so many get stunned with what they see in the old guys from the 80s and 90s,that´s was the norm.
The smiths have had such a resurgence of popularity especially among generation z. I grew listening because of my parents and was teased in middle school for liking them. I remember when this video had 800k views and now it has close to 50 mil. I’m happy more people are discovering the smiths.
They were massive here in Britain but never cracked America. But since their music has been used in films, video games, TV etc they finally got the fan base they deserved (similar story with the Pixies).
I wasn't much of a fan at the time the Smiths were active - like every good red-blooded American boy back then I was into hard rock at the time - but over the last few years I've grown to appreciate and sometimes even like their music.
@@sarahfogerty1463Thx🤞🏻, i randomly found them in February and ever since i listen to them pretty much everyday. I even got me their first and second Album on Vinyl🤝
fun fact: without Morrissey's mom he probably never would've become famous, since she let him stay in and write instead of working! we all owe a great deal of thanks to Morrissey's mom
Oh, so when Morrissey waves around a bundle of flowers and sings about two men flirting it's "cool" and "the defining song of the 80s", but when I do it, it's "inappropriate" and "disrespectful to the deceased".
I first heard this as a youngster dancing drunk at my sisters wedding in 2006 in Dublin. Asked the DJ what song it was and took a strong mental note to remember the next day. Best discovery I ever made.
Good music always needs members, whatever the genre is you need others peoples ideas with your own skills. That is what they did in 70-80´s. Nowadays almost everybody can make a music in their basement alone with Fruity Loops or other music software and it is never the same if you don´t have others with you to play instruments/help with chords or lyrics. Music can be a good again if we stop being selfish and start doing co-operation with skillful musicians.
Tommimatskuu kinda true, there are really good musicians who would honestly I think would be better if they did more co-operation with other musicians, how do you think hip hop became the biggest genre? Rap groups became more popular than bands and there was a bigger focus on features rather than shutting out an album with songs that you wrote in your basement. There are obviously shit rappers who have no fucking talent that get popular but the majority of rappers even though to some people may sound garbage are actually really fucking talented. And it’s with that collaboration that they get better. We need more bands to try this and make more fantastic music because the whole scene seems stale rn and now more than ever we need people showing off their talent
@@f.f5771Yes exactly dude! example De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest and list goes on. I think this change happened in few decades back, because i remember that there was a really good bands in early 2000's and then when the electronic music became popular all changed brah... I don't mean in a bad way (I listen house/edm sometimes) but it just changed everything.
Mortises has beautiful phrasing. I love the way he rides the melody, staying on but finding different pockets to come in and out. Beautiful tone and great control
When I was a teenager, I lived in São Paulo and every Sunday my friends and I would play soccer in the park, we always met at my friend Paulo's house, to go to the park together, and his mother was usually listening to radio rock and I always played this song on Sunday mornings, how much I miss that time and people.

Day 4 Can't get over what my buddy said to me some days ago. "If it wasn't for the music we wouldn't have any reason to hang out". Over time it's broken my heart, and (along with other things) has made me realize the *only* thing he's had interest in, deep down, with our friendship, was the opportunity to gain something. Listened to a lot of talk today about "soul ties" and I'm looking forward to trying to break as many poisonous ones as possible. Also, God bless The Smiths
That's really fucked up dude. I don't even know you, and with things the way they are now it's probably not a good idea to say what I'm about to say, but here it goes. I love you. And no, not in a perv way, not a woke way, and neither a hippie way... Rather, just in a manner to shed some sugar upon your shit sandwich situation. So yea, from brother to brother, with chastity, awareness, and innocence as the foundation of my heart, I sincerely speak now the words of simplicity yet great power: I love you, God loves you, go in peace... that's all she wrote. Amen Have a good rest of eternity
***** What difference does it make that that joke is old? Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine, everybody's clever nowadays, but I was only joking when I said that... I suppose I've got no right to take my place with the Human race after such a terrible joke.
I always thought Indie was a dumb term, because you could apply the term to anything involving independently produced music (Hardcore Punk, Post-Punk, and most early alternative rock bands were signed to independent labels). I perfer to use the term alternative ONLY for that reason, because the Smiths were an Alternative to most of the mainstream music acts of the 1980s, and they had the jangley guitar sound that was at the time being used by alternative rock pioneers: R.E.M.
Kevin Thomas I know that. But technically you could throw hardcore punk bands like Black Flags and Circle Jerks under that label because they were on independent labels. That's my biggest gripe with the term Indie. You can literally apply it to ANY rock music that has been produced and released on an independent label.
always makes me smile how this would come on at the goth club, and we would all stop our angry stomping and aggrotech dancing, and just happily dance in circles to this song.
Another well pronounce bass sound by our friend Andy. We the Latino community of rockabilly‘s in Los Angeles will miss our beloved, ‘charming Man’. Farewell, my English brother❤️🎼
This is the first song I heard from the Smiths.......after that I listened to everything I could get my hands on. Every time.....I'm that 15 year old boy with headphones sitting next to the stereo in my room. These songs are like cherished old friends.
Ehh mate, you gotta discover more songs yourself. You’ll enjoy Tf outta them a lot more than when you’d get introduced to it by Jojos. If you want any recommendations I’ll give you some.

Johnny Marr is such an understated beast at guitar. He completely controls the vibe of the band without overtaking the sound.
He can do wonders with a guitar, he really is a master of it.
Do think his string work does so much more for these songs than most realise, all’s I’m saying is if I’m humming alone with it it’s the strings I’m humming along to
and the bass
Even he can't play what he plays :)
He is in everyone’s top 5. For me it goes… Prince, Marr, Clapton, Hendrix, Coxon. Not sure about the order though.

Oh, so when Morrissey waves around a bundle of flowers and sings about two men flirting it's "cool" and "the defining song of the 80s", but when I do it, it's "inappropriate" and "disrespectful to the deceased".
Seriously! like im already dead on the inside and hes dead on the outside we're a perfect fit
Omfg this... comment is amazing
Ha ha. Excellent comment.

I first heard this as a youngster dancing drunk at my sisters wedding in 2006 in Dublin. Asked the DJ what song it was and took a strong mental note to remember the next day. Best discovery I ever made.
Rourke's bass line in this song is amazing
I always wondered how he got that picked tone when he's using his fingers.
+imazombie27 well, in this video, they're lip-syncing, and Andy's doing the bass line with his fingers. But in the studio version, he uses a pick.
omg where are you? :c
Ian come back!
facebook?
To all of you who are still watching this song, thank you for remembering/loving The Smiths!
This song is so good it makes me feel like I'm immersing with the sky and clouds in the background while wielding a sword
As a twelve year old still in Middle-school, I still to this day play this song on repeat. Thank you Dad for passing your music taste to your son ♥️
learn guitar while you’re at it kid, we need another group like the smiths
@@catdoglover in 5 years i got you covered
@@Perbis12 remember me
:)
Good luck in life bro
I play this song in my head when I’m stressed out at work. Not sure why but it makes me happy
Same and heaven knows I'm miserable now
daniella lopez I listen to metal too and it calms me down. Believe it or not I listen to old school slayer and it helps me sleep
@@fernandom5150 and some slipknot
Peanuty Gt yes them to
Punk rock like discharge or black flag is easily the best for work stress
I'm glad my mom showed me these guys. I'm hooked. 80s music was ahead of its time
you had to have personality and talent then.
Good music always needs members, whatever the genre is you need others peoples ideas with your own skills. That is what they did in 70-80´s. Nowadays almost everybody can make a music in their basement alone with Fruity Loops or other music software and it is never the same if you don´t have others with you to play instruments/help with chords or lyrics. Music can be a good again if we stop being selfish and start doing co-operation with skillful musicians.
d x tell em! Good on ya for having this mentality
Tommimatskuu kinda true, there are really good musicians who would honestly I think would be better if they did more co-operation with other musicians, how do you think hip hop became the biggest genre? Rap groups became more popular than bands and there was a bigger focus on features rather than shutting out an album with songs that you wrote in your basement. There are obviously shit rappers who have no fucking talent that get popular but the majority of rappers even though to some people may sound garbage are actually really fucking talented. And it’s with that collaboration that they get better. We need more bands to try this and make more fantastic music because the whole scene seems stale rn and now more than ever we need people showing off their talent
@@f.f5771Yes exactly dude! example De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest and list goes on. I think this change happened in few decades back, because i remember that there was a really good bands in early 2000's and then when the electronic music became popular all changed brah... I don't mean in a bad way (I listen house/edm sometimes) but it just changed everything.
Reminds me of that one time I did the hustle.
Mortises has beautiful phrasing. I love the way he rides the melody, staying on but finding different pockets to come in and out. Beautiful tone and great control
that really cracked me up
. Lol typing too fast on my phone
When I was a teenager, I lived in São Paulo and every Sunday my friends and I would play soccer in the park, we always met at my friend Paulo's house, to go to the park together, and his mother was usually listening to radio rock and I always played this song on Sunday mornings, how much I miss that time and people.
That sounds nice as hell
Nostalgia is so beautiful. Father Time is one cruel bitch!
Great memories of great times!
WE GETTING OUT OF THE LAVA TUBE WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
bro it just came out today how 😭😭😭
Whats this?
@@supercard9418 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. A Japanese manga, where the author loves to reference his favorite songs. A recent character in Part 9 was named, his birth name mind you, Charming Man.
No way bro I love The Smiths!
Araki introduced me to The Police in 2020, now it feels great to see a The Smiths reference in JoJo after a year and a half it became my favorite band
The song I would never get tired of
Thank you for all the good music, Andy. Love, respect and admiration. Rest in peace 😭
AND YOU!! YOU MUST TRY TO FLY!!
Day 4
Can't get over what my buddy said to me some days ago. "If it wasn't for the music we wouldn't have any reason to hang out". Over time it's broken my heart, and (along with other things) has made me realize the *only* thing he's had interest in, deep down, with our friendship, was the opportunity to gain something. Listened to a lot of talk today about "soul ties" and I'm looking forward to trying to break as many poisonous ones as possible. Also, God bless The Smiths
Solitude is infinitely preferable to false friends. Be good to yourself.
That's really fucked up dude. I don't even know you, and with things the way they are now it's probably not a good idea to say what I'm about to say, but here it goes. I love you. And no, not in a perv way, not a woke way, and neither a hippie way... Rather, just in a manner to shed some sugar upon your shit sandwich situation. So yea, from brother to brother, with chastity, awareness, and innocence as the foundation of my heart, I sincerely speak now the words of simplicity yet great power: I love you, God loves you, go in peace... that's all she wrote. Amen Have a good rest of eternity
How are you?
Definitely the easiest song to identify within seconds of it's start. That introductory guitar riff is iconic.
Jane Doe old school ghanaian highlife kinda riff
***** If what you're thinking is similar to breadbin then yes...
***** You would be correct. breadbin ~ brendon. I probably should have just told you but I thought you'd get the joke
***** What difference does it make that that joke is old? Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine, everybody's clever nowadays, but I was only joking when I said that... I suppose I've got no right to take my place with the Human race after such a terrible joke.
Brendon on your icon tho
The Smith's are one of the now many reasons I'm still alive.
Merci je t'aime aussi ❤
God bless you too, and everyone, and everything, ever!
I have tickets to the 80's. Who's coming with me?
Nah. Been there done that.
I can't remember nothing about it.
M8 I’M JUST GONNA STEAL THOSE TICKETS XD
ME ME ME ME EMME MEMEMEMEMEMEmemmeM'
ME!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Why is everybody trying to call this Hipster, like its some kind of genre rather than a subculture. Its alternative rock. Just enjoy the music.
Indie is the word your looking for
I always thought Indie was a dumb term, because you could apply the term to anything involving independently produced music (Hardcore Punk, Post-Punk, and most early alternative rock bands were signed to independent labels). I perfer to use the term alternative ONLY for that reason, because the Smiths were an Alternative to most of the mainstream music acts of the 1980s, and they had the jangley guitar sound that was at the time being used by alternative rock pioneers: R.E.M.
nice profile picture
+Max Seuberlich Its just short for independent. Meaning many of the bands belonged to independent labels.
Kevin Thomas I know that. But technically you could throw hardcore punk bands like Black Flags and Circle Jerks under that label because they were on independent labels. That's my biggest gripe with the term Indie.
You can literally apply it to ANY rock music that has been produced and released on an independent label.
always makes me smile how this would come on at the goth club, and we would all stop our angry stomping and aggrotech dancing, and just happily dance in circles to this song.
god thats so sweet.. those are the few memories you’ll look back on in a few years time - keep hold of them :)
@@TangerinessXx hah im 40, trying very hard to keep them. They are memories already
@@blinkth3dog i'm 17. wish there were goth clubs where i live

First time I ever heard this masterpiece was on the John Peel show , late at night. Loved it then. Love it now in Dec 2024.
I seriously never get tired of this song it's so good
I'm back again its too good lol
same
I'm back :)
back! :)
back :))
thank you Araki for introducing me to this song
Please listen to the entire Smiths' discography, it's worth a shot
and please do get hopelessly obsessed with them, morrissey needs another sacrifice
Haven't read part 7 is this the name of a new stand or something?
@@anticlips1354 Name of a new character in part 9
Haha it's so weird finding people found this through jojo
I love the moment when Charmingman said "It's Charmin' time!" and charmed all over the guys. Truly one of the mangas of all time
Buenos tiempos para la lírica
The Smiths are the only band of whom I can actually listen to every song
And enjoy every song...
Same here.
Same here!
+Thomas Moore and me mate no band comes close not a smiths song a dont like oh and hope the boro go up
UTB
Love him or hate him......a complete poet.......I love him!
@Hunter Vonnegut No thanks
Another well pronounce bass sound by our friend Andy.
We the Latino community of rockabilly‘s in Los Angeles will miss our beloved, ‘charming Man’.
Farewell, my English brother❤️🎼
COME LOSSEEE YOUR DOGS UPON ME!!!
This is the first song I heard from the Smiths.......after that I listened to everything I could get my hands on. Every time.....I'm that 15 year old boy with headphones sitting next to the stereo in my room. These songs are like cherished old friends.
I'm honestly just here for Emilio's diary at this point....
yeah
me too
Lmao a guy called Emilio commented his diary
I can't even see any of his stuff before day 200
I just wish Araki would give us his playlist of bangers.
That's pretty much what JoJo is
Just Araki sharing his spotify
Ehh mate, you gotta discover more songs yourself. You’ll enjoy Tf outta them a lot more than when you’d get introduced to it by Jojos. If you want any recommendations I’ll give you some.
no way yall discovered the smiths thru jjba 😭😭😭
Yeah, that's me. Sorry @@diorsse
@@jiyanmehta7250i agree with you. Because of Araki, i fell in love with Prince, George Micheal and Sade. Now i listen to all there things. I just generally love music from the 70s and 80s
Legend has it that Morrissey is still flailing that flower around
Legend has it that the flower now flails Morrisey around.

Is it a flower or heather?
Can confirm. Source: Morrissey hit me with the flowers

The long-awaited 100 million views
Let's celebrate !!
What we were able to achieve in the 10
years since it's release is thanks to your
frequent replays and viewings.
actually a manga author included a character named Charmingman in his work and the views are more then likely from fans of it. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
I'd go out. But i haven't a stitch
Lyrics
Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet?
When in this charming car
This charming man
Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger's seat?
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said, "It's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"
Ah, a jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said, "Return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said, "It's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man
Ah, a jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said, "Return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
Mil gracias!!🙏😃🥰
