- Always frustrated me how the official video cut out before the last verse, using footage from the director Derek Jarman who directed all of the music videos in 'The Queen is Dead' video EP as well as the video for 'Ask'.

Who is still listening to this in 2024? Me for sure.
yes there are ppl born in the 60s that love this. not many but a few
Me too !!!
👍👍🇦🇺
🎯
Me too🎉love it
58 years young. This song is utterly timeless. 80s and early 90s were a magical time. This song still nearly brings me to tears thinking about the loneliness and general alienation I felt at the time. Johnny Marr has no peer.
I'm 55 and this song instantly transports me back to 15
The decade of the 80's was probably one of the best in modern musical history. And thank god I was there to witness it. So many genres with so many hits and the underground was like nothing ever seen before or since.
Say no more...
Totally agree. I was there too, awoke in 1981 and God, what a years would follow… indeed The Smiths, and The Chameleons, Talk Talk, Prefab Sprout, R.E.M.. . Even U2 were great in those 🎸!days😉
Es la mejor década de los 80 a nivel Músical x lejos, pq existía todavía esa rebeldía e ingenuidad pero era genuino no era una moda de negocio barato, como es ahora en pleno siglo XXI.

@@gimmethepinkelephant3685 Translation: *"It is the best decade of the 80s on a Musical level by far, because there was still that rebellion and naivety but it was genuine, it was not a cheap business trend, as it is now in the 21st century."*
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
Thank you
Great song.💙
I'm fifty two and just realised that probably many humans never get to be really Loved by other humans.
Damn, i just liked this for the instrument arrangement, never actually listened to the lyrics. Dark.
Heavy
Thank you so much🖤🕯️
University pubs, beautiful girls a dark smokey room, friends, this song playing, cranked. I m in my zone. Havent felt that good in a very long time. Thank you boys
Indeed, but such perfect days of the past cannot be relived and it kills me with sadness that I can't.
@@LAMF24 Not with that attitude it can't. The hell's a matter wit you, boy?!
@@LAMF24 self-medicate more...
Rest in peace bassist Andy Rourke (1964-2023)… 😞🖤🕯️
El no quiere descansar, el quiere disfrutar su Música con los leales seguidores de The Smiths, pq el vive dentro de esta Muy buena Música.
Así es su legado permanece intacto ❤❤
But inmortals
😢🙏🏿💕
@mapymaYes! Emphatically! 9217
I'm 56 & This is My Era ❤ The BEST Music EVER 🎶 😊
indeed. What a great time back then!
Class of '86!
hi
We had the best of almost everything ❤
Makes me painfully nostalgic.
I'm 50. Remember first hearing this at an underage club in Chicago as a wee teen. Religious experience. Went on to be a musician. Played everything from punk to the blues and everything in-between. And decades later, it still comes back to Johnny Marr and this hypnotizing guitar riff. Gives me goose bumps to this day.
I'm 51 & this song still moves me the same today as it did back when teenage me first heard it.
Music is dead now. We used to get a new genre & style every 4 years or so but modern music is just a homogeneous blob of formulatic crap.
@@Yungrexy yeah music is not as culturally impactful & important anymore. Sad.
First time I heard it was walking in the door of Medussa's...a moment I'll never forget
50 next year 💚
You mean Medusa's? 😊 Oh yeah, then you head over to Punkin Donuts to keep the party going. I miss it. Great times.
68 Years old and still floating with this Classic, Brilliant. 😄
Me 68 too and still dig it too.
59 this September
Es que The Smiths nos transporta a otra dimensión Músical, solamente los leales seguidores podemos entenderlo.
Hard to imagine this is 40 years old.
I'm 60's too and a punk, but remember when this (and a few others like Depeche Mode) hit the clubs.
It REALLY WAS a New Age!
66 year older than moz
Blessed and honoured to have lived through the 80s 💙💚👌🏻👍🏻💪🙏👊🏻
.....who else have felt the same as me ?
It be rude not to ask
Lived through the 80s? I'm Still living in the 80S? Did they ever end?
Comrade!
@@martinwood744 definitely still going my m8
@@jennytaylor3324 respect 👍🏻
I’m 75. This here is on my playlist.
Fekin legend you xx
Seguís siendo un rockero de a pie de The Smiths.
I can't imagine you any other way but gay. I don't know if you are or not, but all the 75 year olds I know that aren't gay are listening to the Beach Boys and Joplin.
checked out your playlist on YT , dude you rock!
@jmitch623 I'm going to listen to your playlist :) thank you for putting it together.
I'm getting older, this will never get old. The Smiths and many other 80s bands gave us immortal tunes.
The kids will never understand… no phones, no influencers, only talent.
Yes
Like Napoleon said,, are you lucky? 😊😊😊😊😊 lucky? 😊?
No influencers. LOL - there have been "influencers" as long as there have been people grouping together. What do you think MTV was created for? The Movies? The Radio? The Newspaper?
Fashion and Music magazines crammed stuff down our throats as well as MTV. We were always being manipulated.
Wow, no phones… I knew Morrissey was old, but I had no idea he was older than Alexander Graham Bell
This song brings back memories of the 80's. Me being 16 or so. Head over hells in love with a girl...... who didn't know I existed. What great music we had back then.
Yep
The Smiths were built on the ‘swoon’ of Morrisey & the ‘soar’ of Marr - add in the locomotive drive of Rourke and Joyce at this pitch & it gets ridiculous. Staggering good
This song was for everyone who didn't feel like they fit in anywhere.. this was our mantra...
And siouxsie too good music good underground vibes
Yes. I found out years later that I was also dealing with depression. It’s tough growing up but I made. Finished college in 1989, got married, had great kids and career and am still breathing at age 58. Dealing with a bad bout of Covid but slowly getting better.
I still feel I don't fit in!
Wanting to meet a beautiful girl but too fucking scared to talk to one and leaving the club feeling totally defeated.😩
This and Mad World.
The reverse backbeat. The industrial guitar. Morrisseys insecurity. Awesone
This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever dreamt of.
Cruised the town at night driving alone. Despairing that I'd ever find someone. This song resonated to my soul. Still brings tears to my eyes, especially now that I've found Her. No longer alone, loved and happy. But a lot of strong emotions tied to this song
Same here. At that time, my addiction to alcohol and drugs had not totally taken over, but the song resonated with me too because I was often left alone since then I found some love and have a 17 year-old daughter with 19 years of sobriety and listening to the whole different way it’s amazing.
And in a darkened underpass, I thought “Oh God, my chance has come at last”, But a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn’t ask….
1984. What a great year. Forty years ago now. Where did the time go?
Well, the fashion did suck. Then hair metal came along trying to ruin the world. Other than that, it was great. Although that's only because I was like 14yo! 😂😂😂
Time waits for no man..
Mostly up my nose 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, what about time? As tense and desperate as this song. . . "i have already waited too long, and ALL MY HOPE is gone."
TUNE!!!!! Music has gone down hill and off the edge of a cliff from about 2005. 70's, 80's, 90's were epic, kids need to discover this stuff and realise what good music is.
It's not even music these days, those 3 decades were epic
One of the greatest 80s tracks. Definitely one of the Smith's best ever. Great student memories.
One of the most musically and lyrically brilliant songs of ALL TIME.
What else is there for a song other than its musicality and lyrics?
I grow older but
this will never grow old.
Bad songs can get 15 mins of fame.. Good songs will find new fans forever! :)
I was 19 in 1984 ... still listening to this brilliant sound.
Same here. Using my altered ID to go to the clubs. This song blew me away. Memories
Also born in '65 here. To me, this is quintessential 80's music. Great music and fun times!
One of the most profoundly classic songs of the 80's. LOVE IT
I'm 54 but my head is there on 80s.
I'm 55.... This was our music in the 80s... 😊
55 as well. This song touches the soul. Truly a masterpiece
At 58 I'm right there with you!! 80's forever!!
Somebody please re-release this tune. It is better than the crap that is turned out today.
Why re-release it? It's here for whoever wants it. I certainly wouldn't want to see a bunch of modern twinks screwing it up by trying to cover it again...lol!
WAY better.
Why re-release it when it's already out there? Not quite sure what good that does.
Tatu did it justice, believe it or not.
Try Snake River Conspiracy’s version
The 80's. Strange style but never ending incredible music!! 55 now and still feeling 15
And to think we took it all for granted. Good days.
Y E S !!!
There were some real crap also…
Like many of us who lived as teenagers in the 1980’s, we were blessed with masterpieces like this. I heard this track for the first time at a Goth party in 1984, it was pleasure for my ears…I don’t listen much to the Smiths now but this track is a favourite. Morrisey’s haunting vocals makes this track unforgettable! ❤❤❤
How Soon Is Now in 2024, anyone?
Now!
I am and I am 54 years old 😂😂
@@garygabriel7172 I'm 74 and I'm standing right next to you.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Marcus Aurelius style nostalgia...happy days are gone, so just press on.
Yup ! Here with you
This is the song of songs. It just fit in my life so well. The university pub. They played it every night. Ahhhhh those were the times. I am blessed to have been part of those times.
Johnny Marr ran 4 twin reverb amps to get this sound, still 2024 it’s a relevant song- does that need any explanation????
❤
Brilliant
Reverb? I'm a guitarist. What makes this song is tremolo, not reverb.
@@SamHell-wr8bi …Um yeah- no. He used twin-reverbs (with the tremolo and vibrato) switch , but you would know that if you’re a guitar player right ? I’m a guitar player as well since 1980’s…played LA circuit in 2000’s and EL Rey.. where’d you play?
@@Daatchmo Charlotte, Asheville, and Athens, 1990s. I don't doubt there's reverb in there, but that's not what's shaping the sound. It's tremolo/vibrato doing that. You can't make that sound with just reverb, no matter how much you use.
Music, a time machine that takes you back to the place in time, where a memory was made.. Life is a full jukebox of songs, one for every moment in time....
Amazing.. better than anything out in the top 20 today
That’s not hard.
“Hey Mickey” by Toni Basil is better than anything in the top 20.
Taylor Swift can only dream of having a song of this caliber.
Absolutely
I'm 55 world traveled. Just heard this 2 months ago. I know 80s and 90s is coming back around. KLO 🐻
My god I loved these times, we were young living life to the full and into a burgeoning and thrilling music scene in London and beyond, the decade that defined many of us ....... Steve Tucker, it was a privilege to call you my friend, you will never be forgotten, a huge missing piece of the jigsaw.
Definitely not my favorite Smith's song but I will admit it is probably their most important. I've been in love with the girl in this video for 40 years now.
Same here. She's been the stuff dreams are made of for generations!
Absolute beauty. Does anyone know what her name is? Forty years later, I'm still looking for her.
In THAT moment, she was the most beautiful woman in this world.
Stunning
I’m dead and still love this!
Music good, but the lad is a proper knob end though, thank gods we still have Jonny.
2024 anyone
Such a talented group, so underrated yet so influential.
The smiths aren’t even a teeny tiny bit underrated by any critic or human in history.
What utter nonsense. Why do sad mediocre bland people just write poorly thought out nonsense like “they are so underrated” then insert an extremely highly rated, multi award winning, famous band, singer, actor or film…that everyone on earth rates extremely highly.
It’s embarrassing, shockingly unoriginal and totally false.
It’s like they alone believe that they are “intellectual” and have somehow discovered an unsigned, unsuccessful talent that “no one else” figured out.
😂😂😂😂
Thanks Martin, that needed saying. The Smiths are not remotely under-rated!
I'm really interested in how you come to the conclusion that The Smiths are underrated.
@@martinsolomon5500100% agree. I love The Smiths, I’m 57 now and they were never ever under appreciated or underrated!
A masterpiece. Never ages, just brilliant
I was 19 in 1984.
This masterpiece hit HARD 💯🤯
Such a great song, thank you Rex for uploading the 12'' version. I have to agree with the comment section the music was better in the 80s, so eclectic in the UK charts we had music from : The Cocteau Twins, Echo & The Bunnymen,The Cure, Joy division, John Cooper Clarke etc etc.
I am the sun and the air. I am 55 now and this song never gets old.
same as...love it
I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar ...
I remember cruising Fremont Street , smashed out of our minds growing up in Vegas 80's. This song is timeless.
55 now still enjoying this like back in the 80s and always will!! 🔥
Same!!
They had a style and sound all of their own. Unique and brilliant!
🤘😎🎸🤘
The NorthWest of England produces the best football and the best music we have.
Takes me back to my teenage days which I’d go back to in a heartbeat.💓
Lol. Wouldn't we all...
Yeah right!!? 😂😂😂 All these kids try so hard to be older, when it's usually all downhill after 25 or 30. 😂😂
@@thescarletgraywitch8052 I just turned 60 the other day, which freaks me out. I Am trying not to slow down, as I just purchased a dirt bike. Surely this won't end well as I haven't ridden an off-road bike in 45 years.
@@patring620 well, tbh once I passed 50, i actually have to think out how old I am when someone asks. 😂😂😂 It just isnt registering in my brain since I've worked hard to remain as immature as possible! 🤣
Keep us informed PLEASE!! This dirtbike adventure could be priceless!! 😂😂😂😂😂
_"So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home and you cry and you want to die"_ No, I lived this and wouldn't ever want to go back. Even if the romance was beautiful.
Almost 70 no playlist without this tune
56 years old and this song is our era's "Stairway to Heaven", theme song of my youth for sure! Love it the same now as then
Whose era is "Stairway to Heaven"?! 😂
So glad I was able to see The Smiths live! It was 86/87, went with my band, Great Woods/Boston.
Awesome!
Thanks, man! I love this tune.
I can remember driving and this song would play on the radio. Always made the trip better. wherever I was headed...
Oh, I love that little blonde goddess. And what a track...what a band!
I heard this back in the 80’s & I told the DJ Who was that & she said it was The Smith AND Man the next day ,…I went to the local record store & I bought it ,…Now I’m 70yrs old and Enjoying this song with my headphones 🎧🎶🎶
Zombie James 🥩
Feckin' A. This just came up on my feed. I had totally forgotten about this awesome group.
I'm 55 and STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE!!
Could anyone else have pulled dancing the way Morrissey "dances" with those gestures and all? I highly doubt it.
Chandler Bing?
😂Touche! I'd watch happily watch that.
RIP Matthew Perry.
75 years old and love this so much feet are moving now the rest of me moving
G'wan Trev lad. Let the rhythm mova ya 😆
Are you 75 years old? I don't understand why marijuana is still banned in so many places in the world.
Music direct from England
I’ve never heard any music that describes so perfectly how my heart feels when it’s lonely. Not the lyrics, as poignant as they are, but how Marr’s guitar plays ache and longing.
As a teen I never felt that loneliness that Morrissey alludes. As a 47 year old man in this culture obsessed with cellular phones and filming everything, even going to a night club and not dancing but on their phones.. hell, I feel so alienated now..
Just turned 47 yesterday and I can’t agree with you more. Gen X forever!
@@spyterus47 this past December. Gen x brother
I'm a mere 24, wish I was around when you guys were kicking it. 80s music touches my soul. I don't go out drinking as the music is so bad nowadays. Stay at home with these bangers on repeat
@Nuka-Quantum646 I feel sorry for you. When we actually went to clubs people weren't on their phones and people were pretty chill back then. I must say timing is everything. If you were there for it great! If not I do feel for you. I do thank you for keeping the spirit alive by listening to this stuff.
@@Nuka-Quantum646 times are what they are. We are living in an extraordinary time, when you have almost every song ever recorded at the touch of a screen, and a video, and the lyrics if you want and even comments. Music is a way of keeping time. People tend to cherish the music from their younger years when they felt more free. Young people that have grown up with these information technologies available to them behave in certain ways that would appear less free and more inhibited to anyone from genX. But each decade has its virtues and vices. Now you can find "communities" on social media that have shared interests. Try to find some people in your community that may share your taste in music.. try to find a tribe that vibes the way you do. I know it's mostly a dream, but dreams can become reality. Good luck!
Please send me back to the 70 and 80s. I dont like it here.
Amen.
Yo prefiero que me envíen a la década de los 80.
62 and half y.o. and I still love this song. Going to the clubs with my buddy, picking up chicks and dancing the night thru. It's what you did. Fun times.
It’s bittersweet isn’t it…
I was an international student from Ethiopia in a very exclusive boarding school in Indiana ! I was introduced by my American roommate at 16 - she literally welcomed me with this song when I first walked in our room ! The rest history ! I’m 48 and I still listen to the smiths !
omg I love this song. The best era ever! So many memories of me and my best friend going to the “New Wave” clubs in Denver, just there with our peeps, most everybody wearing black. If there’s a heaven, it has a backdrop of 80s music.
Dead Beat Club, Rock Island.......Spent many, MANY nights there.... Rode my motorcycle down Sper, looking around, was in town to visit my son, was suddenly struck with the urge to look for Rock Island.... 4 decades makes for nostalgia
A glorious moment in music
Crazy to think how much creativity went into this track. That opening is one of the most badass pieces of music ever created. Just damn.
Natural for us mancs, kid.
Whenever I hear this master piece, I want a hug 😔
56 love this 😀
56. Me too 😁
Netflix "The Killer" Great sound track.. recommend.
I agree.A pleasant surprise when I watched the film
1984... Someone is batting One thousand. Love you
Disturbing thumbnail.
the mysterious and impenetrable Algorithm recommended this after Joan Jett's live version of Crimson and Clover
I graduated High School in 1984. The Smiths were of my top fav bands...but this song spoke to me like no other. Teen angst and such, but so appropriate. Right to the heart.
I think seriously I will always be 16 in 1985 listening to music like this and being so happy with my friends!!!💪
I will always be 24
I have tried. But on the porch late at night I crank it, it echoes accros the lake. Always wondered why so many lights in other cottages turn on or flash? No complaints just enjoying the Smiths with me. Cheers Thx. Its always a great moment in time.
This is trip down memory lane.
I wantbto start a Smiths cover hand and call it the Jonses.
My youth! When you didn’t need Botox or filler to be beautiful. When fashion was being created not mimicked. When MTV was music television and when things made sense. ❤
I met Johnny Marr and talked to him here at the house of blues in San Diego a great guy had a concert here back more than few years ago.
Always been my favourite 40 years ago and still listening, great video 😍❤❤xx
An incredible song, one that sounds clean, fresh, and different no matter how many times you hear it. That guitar shimmer…how the hell does he do that?
It’s beautiful❤
Not a single bad or average song from The Smiths! Glad to see so many teenagers coming back to this. So lucky I was a teenager in the '80s!
I was a goofy kid in high school…loving this
I wish someone would re-post the live version from May 9th , 1984 from the Paris show .Its rare but It will blow your mind along with the stage affects .
All Johnny Marr. That guitar sound is what made them famous.
Thank you Johnny Marr. He actually changed the sound of rock without even knowing it.
Great creators use simple things to make brilliant sounds.
It's been 40 yrs. I'm still got it bad for that girl
Yes, me too...remember her from high school.
Still with that boy, 40 years next month-30 married.
dude fuck yeah LMAO
I've always fancied the blondie in this video.
Saw them live at Wsrwick uni,Coventry UK 1985❤❤❤
It's such a beautiful and haunting song. The video carries a manic and dream like quality that speaks to resignated loneliness often experienced by introverts. There is also something both ethereal and familiar about the dancing girl. Crazy to think she's around 60 now.
Forgive the comparison, but this is "emo" done right. This song emotes genuine feeling rather than whiney petulance.
Even more, it wouldn't seem out of place coming out today. If I did not know of it and heard it on the radio, I wouldn't question its age. I might be ecstatic at great music being made again.
I didn't appreciate the 80's as I lived through them, but I certainly do now.
Whenever i find myself in circumstances that I need to tell my inner self that í´m human... that is always the voice I hear
Hopefully you don’t ‘go home and cry and want to die’
Utterly amazing how perfect Morrissey was singing for The Smiths yet so utterly boring and bereft of soul and tunes as a soloist!
I'm 65 and I still love The Smith's...9/19/24
