My grandpa passed away a couple of days ago and I just visited his house. My family were really close and we’d always have lunch there, with my grandparents and everyone else. It’s no longer the same without him, I truly will never go back to the old house.
*"I would rather not go back to the old house."* this song for me is the peak of the smiths discography. morrissey is able to convey so much melancholic sorrow in such short lyrics that feel fleeting yet are still impactful. it's as if it was something someone said in a moment of passion without really thinking about the emotional consequences those words have until they finally set in at the very end of the song. *"I would love to go back to the old house, but i never will."*
In a way I think it's a message on how old houses don't have the cool new features new houses are required to have, says a lot about society when you think about (we live in one probably)
@@WFazolato absolutely. Not a single other bassist who could’ve complimented Johnny Marr like Andy Rourke and vice versa. The result of growing up together as best friends. Mike Joyce’s drum lines are incredibly tight knit.
This year was the worst, in every way possible. Lost a lot. it was tough as hell. At the end of the year , I feel emotionally numb and do not know if it matters at all. Only with these kind of songs, I can remember how it felt before to have emotions and a sense of living. Every crowd that I be with these days, I can't relate or can't feel present. With family, friends, love interest etc. Literally do not know what to do anymore. How do you get back or remember your "self" ?
I had a relatively close feeling, after failing one necessary exam. You know what, despite all difficulties and concerns about specific situation, you have to keep moving, shit happens. I understood it, it helped me to recover from difficult period, everyone in this world go troughout the challanges and difficulties but they have different methods to recieve this.
this was me last year, i listend to it when times were tough. i look back now and i can listen to it without the harsh reminder of my darkest days. you’ll be fine, just keep on going
This is my favorite song by the smiths it conveys the bittersweet feeling that nostalgia for old places gives knowing you can never go back to the person you where back then
This song reminds me of this man who lives on my road across from me. Since i moved here he had a little caramel and white dog id always see him take outside or sit on his porch with. I only spoke to him a few times but i could always tell he was a sweet man. A few months ago his dog passed and i don't really see him go outside anymore, but i do see him sit in his doorway still, without his little dog watching the rain and the sun. breaks my heart.
the most replayed part of the song is " and you never knew how much i really liked you cause i never even told you" im hoping everyone reading this cuts themselves some slack, you deserve it❤
lyrics ♡ I would rather not go Back to the old house I would rather not go Back to the old house There's too many bad memories Too many memories there When you cycled by Here began all my dreams The saddest thing I've ever seen And you never knew How much I really liked you Because I never even told you Oh, and I meant to Are you still there or have you moved away? Or have you moved away? I would love to go Back to the old house But I never will I never will I never will
I also greatly miss them, God. Horrible love was so really strong, however misplaced to stumble down to here- now. Only a hint left when I daydream. It was so good.Ouch🌹🦎🥀 Erin.
I know this song is about love, but for me it is literally about a house. I've moved away so many times that sometimes I thought it was a good thing, but every new house I was like "I wish I stayed" or "I wish to go back", but I never will. So I guess it still is a love song for me in its own way
It's so nice to have a song that those of who don't look back fondly on our childhoods or teenage years or have mixed feelings on it can relate to. Most songs about childhood or youth look at it nostalgically, but it is not a romantic, wonderful time for everyone
Whatever anyone may think of Morrissey now, good or bad, whatever anybody think about how The Smiths split up, or why, we should still celebrate that they existed at all, and created some of the most unique, incredible music ever created. They were heavily influenced, and even more heavily influential, but never, ever replicated. No band ever even came close to this sound.
No band came/comes close to the incredible talent and technical expertise of the individual members, and the quality obtained when individual brilliance is correctly harnessed in mutual synergy.
Morrissey is an asshole to his band mates. You must have missed out on that opportunity. Playing music in a band that's real takes a mental toll on you and different opinions make people.envious. just saying.
@@kane00000 I really don't know what point you are making here, Kane, or if it is addressed to me. I don't think Morrissey was 'an asshole' to his bandmates at the time, actually, but yes, I missed out on the opportunity of being in a band with Morrissey, that is sadly true. I don't know if you're suggesting I'm envious, or other people are. I really don't follow what you're 'just saying'.
@@jam-nc8ut bands create conflict through creative differences. Morrissey comes off like a dick imo because he's smart and stressed from past, being gay at that time. Trauma. So he basically had a low tolerance for bulkshit since he went through so much. He probably was really fyckung cool to his mates but might of come off like a dick when he was just like.. fuck this shit. Just my assumption. I've never read any books by him but I love his music
I grew up in a family of 9, 5 brothers, 1 sister, my parents and myself. The house got foreclosed when I was 17 and we had to move away. We struggled for a long time and got evicted out of multiple places. That old house we grew up in is still there and it’s FULL of good and bad memories. I do want to go back to the old house someday..
Such a beautiful song; I never really listened much to the Smith and Morrisey; actually only know the radio plays of them, but this song shows how great they were; I mean, listen to the guitar and how Morrisey curved around his poetry, and this great melody supported by a groovy bassline and just the right rhythm. Brilliant!
I listen to this song a lot because it reminds me of my best friend. I can never tell them out loud how important they are to me., but I love them so much. Just the thought of them can make my day. I want to spend the rest of my days with them, they are so wonderful.
"And you never knew , how much i really liked you .. because i never even told you, oh and i meant to." edit: everyone who liked my comment has an amazing taste in music and deserves all happiness in life
This song brings back so many memories , one of those memories is when I would constantly deny my love for someone because I was too scared to fall in love again , a part of me wanted to believe that “love” was just a fantasy.. but part of me knew that “love” was real. I remember I would be so scared to tell people that I’m in love , but now I can finally say it with confidence..
I would’ve never thought i could relate to this song.. i’m from Artsakh and about 2 months ago me and 120k of my compatriots became refugees. I miss Artsakh so much i hope i can go back to my house.
I am going to regret so many things I'm doing, especially not doing, when I get older. I'll feel nostalgic, but not in a way I want all of this to happen again. In a way I'll feel loss, and grief, and I'll mourn for younger me's dreams that were wasted. I know all this but still do nothing different. I know I will stay the same, old me no matter how many small things about me change, it'll always be bitter
This song is perfect for when you fall in love with someone who you think will never love you back, and then later you've moved on and have someone else, only to realise they were in love with you too :((
@@mariajaine5430 I was best man at my friends wedding and I had finally gotten over the fact that I didn't just have a crush on him, I had loved him since kindergarten. We all got drunk and I confessed to him that I loved him all through school, he starting crying and told me he wanted to meet my boyfriend but also that he was also in love with me, we were both just too scared to say it because of all the homophobia :/
@@maxxie5500 Oh... I didn't know it was that type of history. Anyway, I don't know what I would do in that situation, I don't know... But, I would feel happy cause it has reciprocity
Thank you for making such a master piece of a song. You don't understand how much I love and adore this song, I will forever listen to this til the day I vanish. Please never stop making music ever again, this song will forever hold a special place in my heart. XOXO
I dedicated this song to my pets that passed away, always gonna miss them. Anywhere they are now i hope they're okay. To the ones that i love: Xena, Salem, Fifito, Ruella... Thanks for eveerything.
I refer the old house to my father. I lost him 3 years ago. The emotions in the old house is too much. The memories are good but the grief and sadness has a hold on me. I love this song.
“When you cycled by, here began all my dreams.” Speaks to me on levels that I will never be able to explain in words. My childhood, my first love, etc.
The line is so childish, like a love for your football club or the playground you grew up on, irreplaceable and pure, untainted. And gives some happy, fulfilled feeling spreading from my core.
This makes me think of my childhood living in Maine in the 90s I'm 31 now. Can't say the house I grew up in had bad memories but just the tone of this song makes me think of good times of care free innocence.
Ashamed to say I'd never really listened to this before, but it came on as I was playing Hatful of Hollow in the car and it literally blew me away with its beauty..such gorgeous semi-classical guitar and perfectly matched yearning nostalgic vocals
i just lost my childhood house of 17 years (i was born a week before my granparents moved in) and i just cant believe it. i feel so dead and out of touch, we made the best memories there and i will forever cherish, miss and love the old house.
"And you never knew how much I really liked you because I never even told you, oh and I meant to" These lyrics are too relatable. I recently finished high school and looking back at the years now I took everything I had then for granted as I was too fixated on the future not realizing that living in the moment should've been the thing I cared about the most. Learn to live in the moment and cherish everything you have as you don't know what the future can uphold.
Back to the old house Lyrics: I would rather not go Back to the old house I would rather not go Back to the old house There's too many bad memories Too many memories there When you cycled by Here began all my dreams The saddest thing I've ever seen And you never knew How much I really liked you Because I never even told you Oh, and I meant to Are you still there or have you moved away? Or have you moved away? I would love to go Back to the old house But I never will I never will I never will
This song hits so hard man. I loved her so much and it was so painful to do it. When we'd talk for hours late into the night everyday even on school nights it was so amazing. She was perfect. She felt like the female version of me. I told her everything and she told me everything, we had inside jokes, she would make me laugh so hard my pillow would be soaked wet from tears. And all that seemingly lost overnight it felt. Suddenly our conversations got drier, she started getting mad at me for small things or things I didn't even do. She started talking shit about me and telling people my secrets. But this was the last straw. She and her friend have been telling me that my best friend was fake and openly saying how much he disliked me and was only friends with me because he felt bad. This stung because I'm so close with him. I tried ignoring him throughout the day but I just couldn't. I texted him about it and he told me they've been telling him the same thing. She's trying to split me and my friends up. I don't know what i did to be hated this much where she's trying to ruin my life. Is she bored? Did I do something? Last night she texted me and apologized saying that she's been upset lately as has been getting mad at everyone especially me. This shocked me because A: She never apologizes ever B: It came right after a long conversation with my sister about how i should just let her go and she texts me that right after. We talked a bit and called for a couple hours like we did before. It felt like old times but I knew it was wrong in the back of my mind. I've tried so hard to fall out of love with her. Words can't ever emphasize how hard I tried to stop thinking about how funny she is, how beautiful her eyes are, the way we'd talk, the way her accent comes out when she gets mad, how hard she would laugh at my jokes and after almost dying follow up with "shut up, you're not even funny" while still laughing, how she'd compliment me, not on purpose, she just said what was on her mind, how she'd listen to me rant about baseball and at least try to understand it, I could go on and on about all the little things I loved about her. Everyone's telling me I need to let her go but I don't think I ever will. I don't think I'll ever be as close with anybody again as I was with her. I really wonder if she knew how much I really liked her. I doubt it. Edit: A couple months ago I wrote a paragraph 7 times the size of this one talking about what has happened since this comment. I immeaditely deleted. Sometimes its better to leave things in the past. 6/20/2024
Damn, that was crazy and really sad. You should become a musician just to write a song about it. Words cannot explain the feelings I felt while reading your comment
I hope you find/found the love you deserve from not only the right person but from yourself as well. Takes a special person to be so vulnerable like this. To the ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves 🥂
I’m 19, going to be 20 in January. I’m still a kid, just fresh into college and no clue what’s ahead. I’ve stopped thinking of things like marriage, I’m just living and seeing where the road takes me.
This gives me a sort of comfort after situations that take my happiness, but for everyone seeing this who doesn't know how to get happy and stay happy, my mother told me that you have to find happiness in the people around you if you aren't a happy person, but if you are and still can't find happiness, look for it in the people around you.
when my childhood best friend passed, i didn’t find out till a week later. when i got the call, i was listening to the smiths radio. after i hung up, this song played.
This hit different coming from a broken home when life used to be chill before the switch up & betrayal of your own family😢💯 but the nostalgic memories when the family still used to be so close together & wasn’t as dysfunctional now everybody growing up and shit not the same.
1:29 that "oh and i meant to" really hits

Ohhhhh ahhhhhhh
If I could meet her for the first time again I would ❤

Do you could dance dance that song with me?
Have had on repeat since 1986?
I was a boy in the sixties. With the miracle of google maps, there it was, the house I grew up in. Sometimes it is okay for grown man to cry...
Ponyboy- As Moz would tell you, "That's how people grow up."
it's always okay for a man to cry
it is always okay to cry sir !
it's okay sir
Considering your name is Ponyboy, I can tell you’re truthful. You instantly reminded me of “Ponyboy Curtis”
this song makes me cry and smile at the same time...
bro same.
'And you never knew, how much I really liked you." damn that hit hard.
*"I would rather not go back to the old house."*
this song for me is the peak of the smiths discography. morrissey is able to convey so much melancholic sorrow in such short lyrics that feel fleeting yet are still impactful. it's as if it was something someone said in a moment of passion without really thinking about the emotional consequences those words have until they finally set in at the very end of the song.
*"I would love to go back to the old house, but i never will."*

Don't mourn their parting, embrace yourself with their music and thank God we had the opportunity to listen to The Smiths
I'm so happy they'll never re-unite.
jumping on a bandwagon for a paycheque would never be their thing. It was art.
It was perfect for its time and could never be again.
one of the few true miracles of my life, really
They cant go back to the old house mozzer the Smith's ☺
man i fumbled the bag so hard. now all i do is listen to this song on repeat
real. here for the same reason
real
Real

Real except I’ve never even had the bag
I’ve been doing terrible mentally and this song is one of the only things keeping me going. I love it a lot.
I feel u same here man hang in there don’t lose hope
same hope you get better
Same here, the smiths saved my life multiple times, I hope you feel better soon
Still hanging in there Kyoko? I should have told you a long time ago how much I really liked you, and still do. Check in once in a while, alright?
this was me last year, i listend to it when times were tough. i look back now and i can listen to it without the harsh reminder of my darkest days. you’ll be fine, just keep on going
1:52 these notes are just... heavenly ❤
This is my favorite song by the smiths it conveys the bittersweet feeling that nostalgia for old places gives knowing you can never go back to the person you where back then
This is one of their best songs.
This is their best song
This is on of THE best songs

I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many bad memories
Too many memories there
When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to
Are you still there or have you moved away?
Or have you moved away?
I would love to go
Back to the old house
But I never will
I never will
I never will
thank you
Thank you 😊

It's so nice to have a song that those of who don't look back fondly on our childhoods or teenage years or have mixed feelings on it can relate to. Most songs about childhood or youth look at it nostalgically, but it is not a romantic, wonderful time for everyone
wow this song is a piece of art... that bass goes crazy
I' m 50, this song describes my life. Sad really. Love hurts, always. I gave my heart and i got so little in exchange ,, so many memories...

I grew up in a family of 9,
5 brothers, 1 sister, my parents and myself.
The house got foreclosed when I was 17 and we had to move away.
We struggled for a long time and got evicted out of multiple places.
That old house we grew up in is still there and it’s FULL of good and bad memories.
I do want to go back to the old house someday..

I dedicated this song to my pets that passed away, always gonna miss them.
Anywhere they are now i hope they're okay.
To the ones that i love: Xena, Salem, Fifito, Ruella... Thanks for eveerything.
I refer the old house to my father. I lost him 3 years ago. The emotions in the old house is too much. The memories are good but the grief and sadness has a hold on me. I love this song.
“When you cycled by, here began all my dreams.” Speaks to me on levels that I will never be able to explain in words. My childhood, my first love, etc.
When you cycled by here began all my dreams
I always thought it said : "When you cycled by in the beginning of all my dreams"
The line is so childish, like a love for your football club or the playground you grew up on, irreplaceable and pure, untainted. And gives some happy, fulfilled feeling spreading from my core.

@Juan Perez 🤷 who cares?
Beautiful words,and music.You can't go home again.
Man I love this song.
He literally never gonna know who much I really love him 💔
"And you never knew , how much i really liked you .. because i never even told you, oh and i meant to."
bro.. i feel that...
Man both this one and the acoustic version are incredible.
i miss him so much.
The voice of my late 80's. Smiths, depeche mode etc.....what a time!
What a song !! It makes love sound real
This makes me think of my childhood living in Maine in the 90s I'm 31 now. Can't say the house I grew up in had bad memories but just the tone of this song makes me think of good times of care free innocence.
Ashamed to say I'd never really listened to this before, but it came on as I was playing Hatful of Hollow in the car and it literally blew me away with its beauty..such gorgeous semi-classical guitar and perfectly matched yearning nostalgic vocals
true story, relatable. "I never even told you, oh and I meant to"...
My heart breaks. I know this feeling. Never going back again.
i just lost my childhood house of 17 years (i was born a week before my granparents moved in) and i just cant believe it. i feel so dead and out of touch, we made the best memories there and i will forever cherish, miss and love the old house.
Man i fumbled she really the one that got away this reminds me of her😫
This song makes me think of a relationship I was in years ago. The “old house” is the girl that I loved.
Yes, this song isn’t just referring to “an old house” but a time, place, moment. So deep & beautiful!

Same bro same. 😢
"And you never knew how much I really liked you because I never even told you, oh and I meant to"
These lyrics are too relatable. I recently finished high school and looking back at the years now I took everything I had then for granted as I was too fixated on the future not realizing that living in the moment should've been the thing I cared about the most.
Learn to live in the moment and cherish everything you have as you don't know what the future can uphold.
it’s ok i promise you will like someone again and won’t take it for granted next time ❤️ everything is a lesson
I always cry to this song. It hits hard..
1:19 will repeat in my heart. over and over
Back to the old house
Lyrics:
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many bad memories
Too many memories there
When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to
Are you still there or have you moved away?
Or have you moved away?
I would love to go
Back to the old house
But I never will
I never will
I never will

tysm i always appreciate people who put the lyrics
always one of those corny mf's who has the lyrics in the comment section
A very striking song for me. Relatable and nostalgic. Thank you.
This song hits so hard man. I loved her so much and it was so painful to do it. When we'd talk for hours late into the night everyday even on school nights it was so amazing. She was perfect. She felt like the female version of me. I told her everything and she told me everything, we had inside jokes, she would make me laugh so hard my pillow would be soaked wet from tears. And all that seemingly lost overnight it felt. Suddenly our conversations got drier, she started getting mad at me for small things or things I didn't even do. She started talking shit about me and telling people my secrets. But this was the last straw. She and her friend have been telling me that my best friend was fake and openly saying how much he disliked me and was only friends with me because he felt bad. This stung because I'm so close with him. I tried ignoring him throughout the day but I just couldn't. I texted him about it and he told me they've been telling him the same thing. She's trying to split me and my friends up. I don't know what i did to be hated this much where she's trying to ruin my life. Is she bored? Did I do something? Last night she texted me and apologized saying that she's been upset lately as has been getting mad at everyone especially me. This shocked me because A: She never apologizes ever B: It came right after a long conversation with my sister about how i should just let her go and she texts me that right after. We talked a bit and called for a couple hours like we did before. It felt like old times but I knew it was wrong in the back of my mind. I've tried so hard to fall out of love with her. Words can't ever emphasize how hard I tried to stop thinking about how funny she is, how beautiful her eyes are, the way we'd talk, the way her accent comes out when she gets mad, how hard she would laugh at my jokes and after almost dying follow up with "shut up, you're not even funny" while still laughing, how she'd compliment me, not on purpose, she just said what was on her mind, how she'd listen to me rant about baseball and at least try to understand it, I could go on and on about all the little things I loved about her. Everyone's telling me I need to let her go but I don't think I ever will. I don't think I'll ever be as close with anybody again as I was with her. I really wonder if she knew how much I really liked her. I doubt it.
Edit: A couple months ago I wrote a paragraph 7 times the size of this one talking about what has happened since this comment. I immeaditely deleted. Sometimes its better to leave things in the past. 6/20/2024
Damn, that was crazy and really sad. You should become a musician just to write a song about it. Words cannot explain the feelings I felt while reading your comment
I hope you feel better soon. I don't have anything meaningful to add, but I feel you, man.
I hope you find/found the love you deserve from not only the right person but from yourself as well. Takes a special person to be so vulnerable like this. To the ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves 🥂
one of the best songs!!!
I’m ugly crying whenever I hear this song
honestly real
Me
Today is my 18th birthday and I'm looking back on all the things I will be leaving behind soon, and all the things I will have missed out on..
Happy birthday ✨ I know It's kinda weird turn 18
That hit me holy fuck, i truly hope all is well brother
Are you still with us?
I’m 19, going to be 20 in January. I’m still a kid, just fresh into college and no clue what’s ahead. I’ve stopped thinking of things like marriage, I’m just living and seeing where the road takes me.
I hate that I love this song so much. It brings back so many memories.
This song reminds me of last year and how everything was better.
haunting beauty
poser lmao edgy boi
Love this song, my friday night is much much better now thanks to the smiths
Essa música tem vários SENTIMENTOS que me identifico
swinging in 80;s times through this song
This gives me a sort of comfort after situations that take my happiness, but for everyone seeing this who doesn't know how to get happy and stay happy, my mother told me that you have to find happiness in the people around you if you aren't a happy person, but if you are and still can't find happiness, look for it in the people around you.
Normally after listening to a song for a while it doesn’t hit you like THAT anymore but this hits me everytime, everyday and everywhere.
when my childhood best friend passed, i didn’t find out till a week later. when i got the call, i was listening to the smiths radio. after i hung up, this song played.
no one will ever know. to talk but never be heard. to be seen but never sought.
This hit different coming from a broken home when life used to be chill before the switch up & betrayal of your own family😢💯 but the nostalgic memories when the family still used to be so close together & wasn’t as dysfunctional now everybody growing up and shit not the same.
fumbled the bag so bad had to hit the feels playlist
