Still watching! Goddamn... the production on this one gives me chills. The vocals and guitar layering... incredible. I loved your surprise when it faded out and came back! I could talk Smiths all day dude!
Hey, love your reactions, 'November Spawned a Monster' is underrated and unique, nothing else quite like it, but that goes for a lot of Smiths songs I suppose!
Lyrics - Contains obvious sexual innuendo amidst the expressions of despair (automobile-erotica came up in an interview around this time). The song is rumoured to be, in part, about a tryst with journalist Jim Shelley (who was later one of those gossip-mongers who hastened the demise of The Smiths, when Marr took his ill-timed holiday in '87). Elsewhere on the internet everyone points out the "Alice Adams" allusion (not the last time Katharine Hepburn impacted upon a Morrissey lyric, as we know) - the song has had the effect of drawing a lot of attention to that film, which, as they say, has aged particularly badly. Music - in part an homage to Dusty Springfield's All I See Is You. In the epic out-chorus the vocal layering is as remarkable as the guitar layering. Even if it's "not a daytime-radio record", it's not surprising they belatedly released it as a single.
If you like Johnny Marr's guitar work, checkout 'The The' around the time the Smith's split. Marr played on two albums. 'Mind Bomb' (aptly named) and 'Dusk'.

Johnny's guitar work in this is just something else.
Excellent taste..! Have you heard/seen Nowhere Fast (recording session) by The Smiths obviously?
Can you check out Girl Afraid by The Smiths? Some of Johnny's best work that gets overlooked.

That's Morrissey solo....
@@shenanigans3710 My bad . . .
@@kaelca4241 No worries. Not a big deal. There are tons of great Morrissey solo songs. Every Day is Like Sunday is amazing
