There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths (cover)

I’m sure everyone here has seen the version I posted 3/4 years ago but the simple fact is that I’m a better singer and player than I was back then and I have better equipment to record with so I thought why not get a new one up :)
From Wikipedia:
“"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths, written by guitarist Johnny Marr and lead vocalist Morrissey. Featured on the band's third studio album The Queen Is Dead (1986), it was not released as a single in the United Kingdom until 1992, five years after their split, to promote the compilation album ...Best II.
It peaked at No. 25 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 22 on the Irish Singles Chart. The song has received considerable critical acclaim; in 2014, NME listed it as the 12th-greatest song of all time. In 2021, it was ranked at No. 226 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time"”
Lyrics:
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last"
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, la-di-dum
Oh, I haven't got one
Oh, oh
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

When you hear a cover of one of your favorite songs by one of your favorite artists and you have been listening to it for 30 years there is a high chance of being disapointed . Not here mate. You slayed it. Amazing.

[@hannahj9286]

One of the greatest cover artists on here. Hope you’re doing alright

[@LJ-fr1ei]

Any idea why he's stopped? Hope he's good and healthy

[@hannahj9286]

@@LJ-fr1ei no idea mate :(

[@engweigher1728]

Hi Adam! I hope you're fine. I have been listening your covers for a long time but I wanted to check if you are good since you are not posting videos for 8 months. Please come back soon brother. We love you

[@xerofortune]

Adam you good? Where you at brother??

[@sebeast1]

Hey Adam, just came to say that I love every video you upload. You are probably the only channel on RUclips whose videos cause me to smile every time when I watch them. Seriously, your talent is incredible and you bring something to these covers that nobody else can do. I hope you are loving life at the moment, and if you aren't, know that there is a light that never goes out.

Your voice is magnificent and your videos are truly an experience!

[@xiuwalker]

Super impressed by your voice and how you nail the inflections and vibe of the original songs so well. Great cover

[@jeffreyclarkful]

Adam your voice and playing are silk. It’s taken me months to be able to play along with you, particularly with the triplets. I’m 57 so and caught on to the Smiths in the mid 80s. Thanks for keeping it alive brother.

[@malcolmhead2852]

Hey Adam
Hope you and the family are well
I’m missing your covers, I’m sure a lot of other people are too!
Hope to see you back soon
Cheers mate

[@Woobbled]

[@Chauncey.]

LITERALLY MADE MY DAY AAAAAAAAAAA
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HOW GOOD IT WILL IF U EVER COVER THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT

[@Adam_Barrett]

😊❤

[@Mrf.7213]

How about built by the housemartins?

[@lukebauche9039]

One of the most beautiful songs ever. After hearing your first rendition I took it upon myself to learn the song. Now I cant stop playing it!

[@1thess523]

This song always takes me back to playing summer little league baseball in middle school back around 1988 👍

[@BlackTrelo]

Oh man, this is so good, fr. May Jesus bless you, hugs from Brazil 🤙🏾

[@parsley_soda]

This deserves more attention wow 👏

[@andrewmacdonald1897]

Missing you Adam.😢

[@danielholmes1920]

So many Smith's songs take me to a good place, a place I still feel young.
Great job!

[@ianmorton1799]

I never thought about that. I first heard this song on a mix tape a crush made me in the late 90s, early 2000s. The chorus was so melodramatic, but the overall feel so relatable and the instrumental arrangement so perfect I fell immediately in love with this band. And maybe that's where this song takes me back to.

[@ericdenoorman1188]

[@TDDmusique]

AMAZING! This is the best cover/rendition I've ever heard. Flawless guitar playing and a wonderful voice! It's clear you really love this song. You should be proud of yourself. 11/10.

[@Adam_Barrett]

Thank you! A lot of my old videos need an upgrade but I feel bad about doing the same things again so I’m spreading them out throughout other videos 😂

[@cemjr44]

Jeez man; you are supremely talented.

[@Littleboyfatman45]

Magnificent renditions of the Smiths. Some musicians may forget. playing Johnny Marrs rock style and carrying on with Morriseys voice… Very impressive.
