  • @22yotachuck28

    The Smith's weren't so much as a band but a state of mind- an outlook. They captured the spectrum of passion inside us as youths in a way you could savor it -over time like a jolly rancher vs a Hershey's kiss (gone in a second). I'm 48 now and much of that soulfull kid has vanished due to the trials and tribulations of life, however Everytime I here their music, a tiny drop of that emotion runs through my bloodstream ever so subtlety. I'm glad I was part of those times, and I feel fortunate life hasn't complely numbed my soul.
    YOUTH OF TODAY HEAR ME CLEARLY- BOTTLE THAT PASSION AND IF YOU CAN NEVER LET IT GO.!! You make think it will be like this forever but it won't.....

    I used to date a guy…….. who was a DJ. He had a huge vinyl collection! He knew how much I loved Morrissey, Soo He played this song for me every morning to wake me up when I would spend the night at his house. He was the first one to play this song for me! I thought that I knew all of Morrisey’s and Smith ‘s music, but this was a B-side that I totally missed. Whenever I would spend the night at his house, he would wake me up with this song, and it brings back all the feels!!!!!

    In the summer of 87, I was studying film at the University of London. It was my first time out of the United States. I played this about 200 times during that time in a pub called The Yorkshire Grey, near Fitzroy Square. Pretty sure that jukebox and the local patrons were sick of me. I've never been sick of this song. Johnny Marr's guitar sound on this is one for the ages.

    Mike Joyce sets the perfect groove for ALL Smiths songs. People who are saying he plays simple parts are full of it. Every one of his fills is perfectly laid out, and his grooves are utterly infectious. They would not have become famous without him. Fine maybe someone else could've done it. I'm not so sure on all songs, like this one, and Stop Me If You've Heard This, and How Soon Is Now. Bigmouth Strikes again on drums and bass? PLEASE RECREATE THAT, BIG MOUTHS!
    You can really hear the difference when others cover their songs. I'm not diminishing the massive talents of Morrissey Marr, but Joyce and Rourke (also integral) deserved at least SOME publishing in my mind. No fricking doubt about it.

      Johnny Marr said nothing derogatory about Chinese people, you have your facts all wrong. You are confusing this with Morrisseys supposed quote that the Chinese treatment of animals (dogs boiled alive for example) makes them sub human.

    Oddly enough, "boot the grime of this world in the crotch dear" has recently become one of my favorite lyrics that Morrissey wrote as a Smith. I like to think that it pairs nicely with "it takes strength to be gentle and kind". Both are lyrics that inspire me to be a better person and to fight on behalf of the marginalized and underprivileged.
