This has always been up their being one of my favourite Smiths songs, I still remember back to being 9yrs old in 1985 and hearing this beautiful song coming from my older brothers stereo and falling in love with the guitar parts, from that moment I knew everything in my young boys life had just changed instantly! Going from a boy into athletics and football, to going into primary school the following day and saying I really wanted to start guitar lessons and learn how to play the guitar. That I did and guitar, instruments, music, playing in bands, sound recording & production completely took over and shaped my life to what it is now I am 47yrs old. All those lovely sounding guitar riffs, melodies & harmonies entered my head and have never left, inspiring my whole life in the jobs in music I have done, the bands I’ve played in, the style of music I love , the songs I’ve written and carry on writing now and in the future. It’s given me so much nearly everything, for that I am eternally grateful and indebted to Johnny Marr, Morrissey, Andy Rourke, Mike Joyce, so much so it’s not a case of I don’t owe you anything, I my life, it’s more I pretty much owe you everything! A brilliant song and I also love the Sandie Shaw version on vocals when she also sang Hand in glove and Jeanne. All three songs with Sandie singing are total brilliance.
Richard Boon was a manager at Rough Trade at the time of this gig. I was hired by Rough Trade to drive Boon and two other people from London to Manchester for the gig, so I have first hand knowledge of the events!
The debut seems to have a slight narrative. There are multiple references to being ill, going out tonight, gloves. In “pretty girls make graves” the end has a bit from “hand in glove”. And miserable lie Starts similar to “hand that rocks the cradle” . I could just be an obsessed bedroom bound romantic, but this is my observation.
it’s a shame this is the only video of them performing this song live. i’m trying to learn it on guitar and i get roughly 20 seconds of 240p johnny to look at 😭
Wow! This bootleg is of incredibly good quality. I remember the boolegs I saw in the late 80s were all very poor quality. Thanks for posting this. And thank you youtube!
guys it took me years to discover reel around the fountain, we all can't have the pleasure of owning the CDs, tapes or vinyl. The internet or friends/family that showed us this were not thinking chronically.
@@WC-jd8rn they just mentioned not everyone has the privilege of owning their albums so that basically means they wouldn’t know reel around the foundation was the opening track for all they know it could of been 5th or last track
I will for month's not listening to any Smith's tunes.Then w when I feel like I'm losing it,I will return to the thing that will make sence to me and I can carry on living again.
theres something about their debut album, I perceive the art came through better. and morrissey absolutely crushed it here. subtle performance of them all and tight as can be
Longing for her return, like days of yore, Her charming way, I beg for once more. Melting my heart, her singing voice, Oh, how I yearn to hear that rejoice. Tonight, I'll stay in, no desire to roam, Knowing she not obliged to come home. Life's cruel and unkind, it's true, But playing "I Don't Owe You Anything" will do. Memories flood, as the song begins to play, His voice echoing, like he never went away. Repeatedly, I'll play it on my own, His voice a treat, to heal my heart's moan.
I Don't Owe You Anything: Bought on stolen wine A nod was the first step You knew very well What was coming next Bought on stolen wine A nod was the first step You knew very well What was coming next Did I really walk all this way Just to hear you say : "Oh, I don't want to go out tonight" ? "Oh, I don't want to go out tonight" Oh, but you will For you must I don't owe you anything, no But you owe me something Repay me now You should never go to them Let them come to you Just like I do Just like I do You should not go to them Let them come to you Just like I do Just like I do Did I really walk all this way Just to hear you say : "Oh, I don't want to go out tonight" ? "Oh, I don't want to go out tonight" But you will For you must I don't owe you anything, no But you owe me something Repay me now Too freely on your lips Words prematurely sad Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight Life is never kind Life is never kind Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight Songwriters: Steven Morrissey / Johnny Marr
The Smiths are the greatest band that ever was period!!! Morrisey is more important than Wilde or Shakespear. This is one of the greatest songs from that first album. And thank you if you love the Smiths like I do. We are a unique and interesting bunch. Don't you think?...
Nov '05 in a True to You Q&A. Q: Of all your songs, from both Smiths and solo material, which song are you most proud of lyrically? Best wishes, Peter Finan A: Hello Peter, It's impossible to answer this because I'm proud of most of them. There are only a few that make me shudder such as "Get Off The Stage," "Journalists Who Lie," "I Don't Owe You Anything".... But most of them, I think, somehow stand the test of time. Of course, some songs are better than others...
I try to refrain from Morrissey praise. the whole band were so talented. but when i hear the guy singing LIVE this well..... bloody hell. he's amazing.

The only regrettable thing is that the camera guy apparently didn't think Johnny Marr was important enough to film. He's almost invisible on this video. Too bad, we only get a glimpse of him and his beautiful Rickenbacker guitar
Oh come on...Shakespeare ripped off the Greek classics and threw in some wit. You don't really understand literature. Dowland would have given Morissey the thumbs up over Shakespeare any day.
I'm sorry, did you say that Morrissey is more important than W. Shakespeare? Are you aware that he carved the path for many of the poets today? Morrissey is not more important than one of histories greatest writers. Morrissey is a wonderful lyricist and musician. A very talented man whom I idolize but no need to compare to Shakespeare. Also, many people listen to The Smiths, this is not an underground thing. Their music is all over movies and television.
Let them come to you, baby......I've been with MOZ since I was a mere babe of 14, and I'm still friends with my men who won't come out because they're on Wall Street and doctors on Park Ave. Oh well, St. Joe's, I know it's gonna happen someday.

So good!!! When will my smiths obsession end..it's taking over my life lately
+matthew britt Andy Rourke is a great bass Guitarist!!!
fucking same
Same here mate! Not that I want it to end.
I have seen this comment some time ago, and all I can say is a (very cheesy): Still ill, mate :/
i know exactly what you feel, i've been obsessed with Smiths and Morrissey almost two years now, it's crazy
The Smiths are the smoothest band I swear to god
One of the best on the album
Yes! The best on the album is the hand that rocks the cradle
Danny I love you
One of my favourites by them.
The last person to expect here
@@TheWWEfanatic93 it's great but can't say i agree, has to be Still Ill
the bass is so good
Great bass indeed !!
venia a comentar la misma wea
It's all the heroin
Isn't it? It is really the driving force behind this song. Great son often overlooked in Smiths' repertoire
Andy Rourke is a very underrated bass player. IMO he is as much of a genius as Marr .
I hope heaven is as visceral as this choppy video of a Smiths concert.
The most underrated Smiths song - poignant and heartfelt.
I actually think it’s their best song.
Draize Train is very underrated.
I agree. This is my favorite song of theirs
Our boy Johnny Marr was 20 years old here. I'll be 20 in a few months and I can't even wipe my ass properly.
I'm 23 and I can barely live
Hope y’all doing better now
I'm...oh wait...no one gives a shite about your age.
@@renanmarinho1252, I'm 110 and have not even been born yet!

Most underrated smiths song and one of their best.
This is so SO beautiful. I could happily make this the only song I listen to for the rest of my life.

Vaya inspiración, te felicito haces lo que amas
Morrissey's voice is so soothing!!! ❤love his voice so much
From my favourite Smiths album. Everything they did is a thing of beauty, but their debut album tops the lot for me.
Richard Boon was a manager at Rough Trade at the time of this gig. I was hired by Rough Trade to drive Boon and two other people from London to Manchester for the gig, so I have first hand knowledge of the events!
gotham61 then, what does it mean? The 312 thing and the neighbor... Can you give a complete explanation please
yea i need the explanation
I'm going to guess hes saying hes old

Lmao same
Life is truly never kind...
morrissey always has interesting introduction to song live.
The guitar work, sweet, add the drums and bass, excellent, add the vocal melody and poetry, ABSOLUTE BLISS.
My favourite song ever!....
"If nobody objects, a slight request... to everybody's favourite neighbour, Richard Boon... happy 312 Richard... 'I Don't Owe You Anything'."

I love that rhythmic bass and the guitar along with Morrisey's voice❤
This was beautiful
that vaguely sarcastic eyebrow raise (or was it an eye roll?) and salute when he's hit with all those flowers is just glorious.
Probably a "nice aim" look.
Johnny Marr and his effortlessness never ceases to amaze me. Love this video.
The Smiths are the greatest!!!
my favorite smiths tune. Lyrics, perfect. The band's music, sublime.
Beautiful, dark & funky bass lines.
ANDY ROURKE I ADORE U !!!!!
Wow! This bootleg is of incredibly good quality. I remember the boolegs I saw in the late 80s were all very poor quality. Thanks for posting this. And thank you youtube!
Uh, what's bootleg?

@@OsvaldoR10 like an unofficial recording
This song is so effective if you want to feel like shit after a girl ignored you. heh. If it's the other way around, then Girld Afraid.
i put this song on every time i still wine
+Desiree Garcia Steal wine?
swill wine prolly, just like I do
Still
He was so young back then but still very handsome today
every now and then I discover a smiths song I never heard before...and bliss
Wow, did you know it's right on their first studio album?
guys it took me years to discover reel around the fountain, we all can't have the pleasure of owning the CDs, tapes or vinyl. The internet or friends/family that showed us this were not thinking chronically.
Lon Chaneys Lover chronologically
@@lonchaneyslover7635 Reel Around the Fountain is legit the first song on their first album, mate. lmao
@@WC-jd8rn they just mentioned not everyone has the privilege of owning their albums so that basically means they wouldn’t know reel around the foundation was the opening track for all they know it could of been 5th or last track
Amazing Live performance of this incredible song!
Espetacular. Lindíssima. Gold. Músic. Maravilhosa. Excelente. Ótima. Muito. Boa. Especial
Just beautiful.
The Smiths are better than 99% of the bands out there.
100%
Suede are still around who are equally as good if not better.
I will for month's not listening to any Smith's tunes.Then w when I feel like I'm losing it,I will return to the thing that will make sence to me and I can carry on living again.
Did I really walk all this way
Just to hear you say :
"Oh, I don't want to go out tonight" ?
"Oh, I don't want to go out tonight"
:]
the smiths are for me the best music group of this century!!!!
This video released on my birthday; same year as well, crazy finding this video of my favorite song for it to be somewhat connected to me
Oh skinny Morrissey...You knew very well...

Oh but I know what will make you smile tonight...
Beautiful song, emotional rawness. Powerful and a little depressing.
the smiths makes me really obsession because their moments are so real and strenth to makes me feeling a big nostalgia that I never experienced before
Something about the "but you owe me something, repay me now" is such a great verse. It hits hard.
I love this song
thank you for this treasaure!!!
wow this performance
theres something about their debut album, I perceive the art came through better. and morrissey absolutely crushed it here. subtle performance of them all and tight as can be
I Love The Smiths So Much As well
genius!!
Magnifico
Thanks for sharing this, truly AMAZING!
Longing for her return, like days of yore,

Melting my heart, her singing voice,
Oh, how I yearn to hear that rejoice.
Tonight, I'll stay in, no desire to roam,

Life's cruel and unkind, it's true,
But playing "I Don't Owe You Anything" will do.

His voice echoing, like he never went away.
Repeatedly, I'll play it on my own,
His voice a treat, to heal my heart's moan.
so beautiful aaaa❤️

incredibly greatful... :)
Moz & the rest of the Smiths couldn't care a piss-squirt less about being in the R&RHOF! In fact, I'll wager they'd not even show up if asked...
my personal theme song for the first time i was divorced.
i love the smiths
I Don't Owe You Anything:
Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next
Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next
Did I really walk all this way
Just to hear you say :
"Oh, I don't want to go out tonight" ?
"Oh, I don't want to go out tonight"
Oh, but you will
For you must
I don't owe you anything, no
But you owe me something
Repay me now
You should never go to them
Let them come to you
Just like I do
Just like I do
You should not go to them
Let them come to you
Just like I do
Just like I do
Did I really walk all this way
Just to hear you say :
"Oh, I don't want to go out tonight" ?
"Oh, I don't want to go out tonight"
But you will
For you must
I don't owe you anything, no
But you owe me something
Repay me now
Too freely on your lips
Words prematurely sad
Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight
Life is never kind
Life is never kind
Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight
Songwriters: Steven Morrissey / Johnny Marr
Some might say "Drunk on stolen wine.."
I melt
goes down smooth
I just read that Morrissey regretted writing this song and has since disavowed it altogether. I still love it idc
@LaMonsieurYoung a teenager and listening to the Smiths... you are already streets ahead of most adults.
My cats always sit next to me to listen to the smiths, they really are lucky cats
Oh skinny Morrissey...You knew very well...

Funny how Morrissey disowned this song it's so damn good
Bom demais
Great audio on this
The Smiths Back The JD xx
Awesome! Miss the organ in the tune. It brings much more feeling.
It´s a little bit diferent from the album´s version,but still beautiful !!!
Youre the one who is a little different from the album version, but who is still beautiful
