❤️❤️ The feels on this Check out The Cure A Forest too

Only someone from Manchester could write a lyric about a dreaded sunny day. Also the song is incongruous because its about a Cemetery but as you note its up tempo, which is not what you would expect.

Interesting that you are watching the lyrics video with Asuka and Shinji. Haha good choice when you know what at happens❤ Love the Smiths This is a simple but tragic song. Love it😊😇🥰

"Just chose a random song" 😂😂😂 damn good choice my bro! Damn good! Lol

mash not smash

It definitely helps if you know who all the poets are.

I've noticed American reactors take every lyric so literally. Do you think Joan of Arc had a Walkman lol

What a class song

It's cool cause you can tell that Morrissey hates these codependent moron types. I love this song so much.

Flawless pop Classic.

But is he serious? Moz is gay and in the closet back then, so if his girlfriend died would he really be sad? At least that is how I interpret it when I analyzed it years later, with knowledge in hand. Makes it even more brilliant from that lens.

John Keats - famous 'romantic' poet WB Yeats - famous anglo-irish poet and dramatist Oscar Wilde - if you don't know who Wilde is, I dunno what to tell you.

Keep doing reactions from The Smiths and you will gain a lot of followers I promise you. One of the most iconic bands of the 80's

Man The Smiths are really really deep and yet the music is so upbeat usually not in this though

Very cool man I am so impressed

Love your take on this I will definitely subscribe

Keats , Yates, and Wilde, are all classic writers/poets.

They were/are fantastic. Bad Finger we’re ahead of their time and suffered tragedy

#1 song for me.

I Keep Mine Hidden doesn't get enough love

Johnny Fuckin Marr is God

Thx. But you should try the original, A-side single version of the song which is a little bit different but much more better. :) th-cam.com/video/YDDyE8pGN1k/w-d-xo.html

The Maria Carey version is based on Harry Nilsson rendition of it. All the lyrics are the same but the note structure and tempo are slightly different for the chorus!!!

Art is for artists, so my sculpture professor once told us. Artistic license is not always literal. But I understand how the lyrics can initially feel alarming. Thanks for reacting to The Smiths 😍

Very honest brother. You made me laugh out loud. Do you need more of the Smiths in your life. Try Morrissey solo maybe something is squeezing my skull.

The song has two lyrical layers. The subtext is taking the the piss out of moaners who complain that Morisssey 'steals' dialogue/phrases from the works of others (often obscure1960's English realist films) and then uses them in his song lyrics - like a magpie. The surface story plays into the persona of Morrissey as the bookish miserabilist - who hates 'sunny days'. So he is talking to his friend and suggesting they go to the graveyard and play one of their favourite games - i.e. reading the gravestones and counting which famous poet/writer is used more on them. His friend gets to count any gravestone with a quote from John Keats (English Romantic Poet most famous for his elegies - friend of Shelley and Byron around 1800 - died very young of TB) or WB Yeats (Irish poet, writer and playwright - late19th/early 20th century) as a 'point', whilst Morrissey chooses only Oscar Wilde (Irish poet/writer/playwright and famous wit and gay martyr - second half of 19th century). Morrissey was also witty, gay and of Irish extraction - and Wilde was his all time hero. So despite the fact that his friend will have two poets to pick from against Wilde alone, Morrissey is confident that he will win the game: "Keats and Yeats are on your side But you lose Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine".

Andre the Giant was in a Rock band I guess 😄

If you want to hear the best example of John Oates’s voice, react to Possession obsession. The rest of their best songs are method of modern love, say it isn’t so, maneater, some things are better left unsaid, open all night, crime pays, out of touch, Sara smile, I can’t go for that, one on one, rich girl, wait for me, family man, you make my dreams come true, Rockability, adult education,

Girlfriend in a coma

Harry Nilsson all the way

It’s a very fun song….. but this “is serious” lls

Glad you felt the love ..my first Smiths as a 15 yr old and still devoted 35 years later 🙌

Why isn't he watching the music video?????

Check out , Yeah Jazz - She said or This is not love, from the 80's

Get you're hand on an early version of "This charming man" vinyl version.

I went to the hospital to visit my girlfriend who was getting her tonsils removed. So, I purposely brought this song to listen to on the way, I wanted to leave her with a humourous tale, cause she was spending the night at the hospital. She didn't see the humour, but she did pull through.

They made songs for the highly intelligent. The song is ultra dark because its written from the point of view of a guy who just beat the shit out of his gf and she is in a terminal coma and about to die so he first doesn't want to see what he has done then he decides that he wants to whisper his last goodbyes and he starts out in denial but he knows deep down its serious this time.

that funky bassline is absolutely superb.Andy Rourke is one of the most underrated bass players ever

A good song by them is a rush and a push

They are from Manchester Morrisey s the singer Johnny Marr is the guitarist

That Philly Sound.

My favorite Smiths song

And I had a tear in my eyes to be honest

I just heard this a couple of weeks ago too… I was left numb & thought wow this is the greatest ballad of all time

=You're Damned if you do, and Damned if you don't.

Muse covered this song. Also, The Smith’s song “ask,” is a must. Another band like The Smiths: Pulp, “Common People” & “Mile End”; London Suede, “We Are The Pigs” & “The Wild Ones”; The Killers “This River Is Wild,” “Bling (Confession Of A King),” & “Andy, You’re A Star.”

I’ve just came across your channel the smiths are one of my favourite bands of all time if you want a good suggestion listen to the smiths heaven knows I’m miserable now really good song listen to the lyrics in this one there powerful keep up the good work 👍🏻

One of my favourite Smiths songs that I recommend is Still Ill, it’s a staple in both Morrissey and Johnny Marr’s live sets to this day!

One of THE best bands ever. However; the way Morrissey and Johnny Marr shat on Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce is a fucking disgrace. The Smiths was those 4.

Wasted on Americans.
