I was an amateur boxer and also trained amateur and pro fighters. This song often brings me to tears, especially when driving late at night. There are few songs on any subject - much less boxing - that convey the poignancy of the lines about losing in one’s home town and taking the sounds and the spray to the grave. Like everyone else, boxers lead complex inner lives. The sport - if it can be called that - saves some of us from committing violence out of the ring, while for others it’s a vehicle for resolving emotional conflicts - as this song so beautifully illustrates. Thank you, Alain, and thank you, Morrissey.
My favorite tune in all of the Moz discography. It's such a downer, yet it is uplifting and extremely relatable. Beautiful hook. Just timeless. And, any sport really, haha! It is pure magic, this one.
This song takes me back to such great memories from high school with my buddies, in our leather boots, leather jackets, denim jeans, white v neck shirts, and shiny pomps playing Moz and The Lads! Cheers
I think all these acoustic Stay at Home sessions are fantastic...especially singing while playing arpeggios - not an easy thing to do...Thanks a lot Alain !! 😊
Living is hard enough. Existing results from truth. And this song poignantly captures the feeling of both. Loathing and mocking both, an all time cynical genius from the 1600s hands the torch to the visionary writer and player.
When I was a child, my father tell me the story of Alfred the boar. Nowadays, I'm waiting for your midnight song like a little girl before sleeping. Just a kiss from Paris
I love this song's chord sequence and lyrics, and have it set as my alarm in the morning. Came here to learn it and found it's really nice to play too. I really like the picking and hammer ons on the chords. Thanks - you're a great musician.
Your sessions are amazing. I have played guitar since the 80's and the" mystery" chord in Sunny and the opening chords in Driving Your Girlfriend Home are all new to me. Thank you!
Señor Whyte, quiero contarle que gracias a esta canción conocí al señor Morryssey, cuando tenia dieciséis años. Creo que realmente fue uno de los momentos mas importantes. Así que me siento afortunado de poder darle a usted después de tanto tiempo, las gracias por su trabajo y las gracias por haber hecho de mi vida , una mejor vida. Espero que sea usted un hombre feliz. Saludos desde Valparaíso Chile.
I just listened to some of these sessions, again... We are all consumed by the negative and ugly things that covid-19 produced... But, these sessions, a direct outcome of the isolation, bring about such beauty, such poetry... Especially with your voice, your interpretation... Like looking at a painting from a different angle, and loving it again as if you are seeing anew.
Dear Alain, thanks for playing, singing and oploading all these great songs. It is funny that you chose all my favourites almost in a row: Sunny, Swallow on my neck, Boxers and the Vauxhall songs (you play and sing incredibly well), which all should have been monster hits, but to many people they are and that is waht really counts!) "The edges are no longer parallel" is another masteriece which was hidden as a B-side and only the fact that Rain by the Beatles was a B-side as well may be used as an excuse! THANK YOU!
THANK YOU, ALAIN! My favourite Morrissey track- your music for this was sheer perfection. And a fabulous Safe-At-Home rendition! How about Alma Matters, Trouble Loves Me, You Know I Couldn't Last, Munich Air Disaster 1958 or It's Hard To Walk Tall When You're Small...?

Morrissey really was fortunate to have musical partners like you and Johnny Marr.
Absolutely!
I agree, but that works both ways. Imagine Morrissey putting his gorgeous vocal melodies and peerless lyrics on top of your music!
YES!!!! Absolutey🤘🏻🤙🏻💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

boxers, life is a pigsty, hang on to your friends... you are a genius and have greatly impacted my life
I hope you're enjoying playing these songs just as much as we are listenig to them. Alain, thank you!

Beautiful hook. Just timeless. And, any sport really, haha! It is pure magic, this one.
Discover your channel is a treasure 💎, i feel now like a feather...
One of my favourite Morrissey/Whyte songs. Takes me right back to the 95 tour. Amazing ❤
Brilliant. This era was great.
Beautiful song
Great song about patience and love. ‘The crowd call your name/ They love you all the same’. Indeed! ❤️💜🖤
Just amazing watching you play that Alain
Many ask for Johnny but I'd really love that Morrissey and you come back to write songs so awesome like this. Love Alain.
This song is beautiful and I still get chills whenever I hear it…bless you for creating such life-enhancing sound ✨
This song takes me back to such great memories from high school with my buddies, in our leather boots, leather jackets, denim jeans, white v neck shirts, and shiny pomps playing Moz and The Lads! Cheers
Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you!
Morrissey's best solo musical partner.
Alain... great! Don’t ever consider yourself any less than Johnny Marr! You got so much hidden talents! It’s unbelievable!
Thank you that really means a lot honestly. Made my day
I love this one and this partnership with Mozz. Cheers from Brazil
Great song, great musician you are, Mr. Whyte. Morrissey's solo career would not be the same without your talent and creativity.
I think all these acoustic Stay at Home sessions are fantastic...especially singing while playing arpeggios - not an easy thing to do...Thanks a lot Alain !! 😊
TROUBLE LOVES ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!
The whole song here in all harmonics. Thank You Geez almighty
One of my favorites songs of the 1994/1995 period. This and "Sunny" are GREAT!!!! Thanks Alain!
We think the world of you Alain! Thanks for dazzling us with this song & that smile :)
Us fans still think the world of you Alain!
Thank you for another GEM 💎
Top melody, a wonderful song. I never tire of listening to, and your final "falsetto" is perfect.
'This, was a huge Hit ,No Where. And it's called BOXERS'. Is kinda the official Fan intro. But perfect Alain reprise as usual. Luv U dude.
Living is hard enough. Existing results from truth. And this song poignantly captures the feeling of both. Loathing and mocking both, an all time cynical genius from the 1600s hands the torch to the visionary writer and player.
Morrissey/Marr
Morrissey/ Whyte
Morrissey/Street
Absolutely amazing song. Great guitar. Well done Alain
You finally did it king
When I was a child, my father tell me the story of Alfred the boar. Nowadays, I'm waiting for your midnight song like a little girl before sleeping.
Just a kiss from Paris
I've been listening to this song all mouth. a perfect junction between lyrics and music. One of my favorites. Thank you Whyte.

I love this song's chord sequence and lyrics, and have it set as my alarm in the morning. Came here to learn it and found it's really nice to play too. I really like the picking and hammer ons on the chords. Thanks - you're a great musician.
