Lyrics
Well I wonder
Do you hear me when you sleep ?
I hoarsely cry
Oh...
Well I wonder
Do you see me when we pass ?
I half die...
Oh...
Please keep me in mind
Please keep me in mind
Gasping - but somehow still alive
This is the fierce last stand of all I am
Gasping - dying - but somehow still alive
This is the final stand of all I am
Please keep me in mind
Well I wonder
Well I wonder
Please keep me in mind
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind

Something in his voice really touches my soul
It's true 👍
I agree I love Morrissey
the americans have got their soul singers, and weve got arsehole singers

Most underrated Smiths song.
As a long time listener of the Smiths, I would agree...Well said Alessandro.
@@jerrywinters6914 yeah man. I love this tune. All magnifico, but yeah a little diamond in the ruff.
The best smiths song more like
mi favorita!
My favorite smiths song!
the phrase "keep me in mind" is just so powerful. because no one ever asks, "remember me" or "think of me in the darkest hour of the night when you don't know who to go to". all everyone ever wants is to be "kept in mind", because to someone who's stopped expecting to be someone's first choice, just being kept at the back at someone's mind, that shows that you're not nothing, and can be lifesaving.
Reminds me of the line "hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly".
@Sasha - So true. Also that hope that she completely hasn’t forgotten ‘you’…. Although it’s been over six painful long years… that hope of “keep me in mind” and “gasping-dying”; breathing hurts ; sooo much when ‘you’ never had closure… it hurts so much….
shut up enby
Makes ya wonder
@Jackie - Yeah. It makes you “wonder”…. It makes you wonder a lot sometimes. Sometimes I wish it wouldn’t.
You know a songs good when it gives you a lump in your throat
Absolutely mate 😉
Please keep me in mind
Too che

This song is a masterpiece.
Hell yeah it is.

Lying here on my bed, listening to this, I'm transported back to the 80s bedroom of a 14yr old me....different view out of the window - same emotions....🖤
Not sure why everyone is attacking you.
@@pandawandas hi...the first person is an ex partner who was annoyed I wasn't replying to him...the second person, I have no idea! - first time I've seen it!
I just like to write how I'm feeling at the time when listening to music! especially music that holds special memories - people can think I'm pathetic! - but attacking someone they don't even know says more about them than me I reckon! 😁
@@jacquelinemorris7959 Sucks that you're getting ridiculed like that for having a good taste in music.
@@pandawandas thank you for your kind words and positivity....it means a lot - honestly....😊
Oh yeah 😍😍
This sounds amazing 😍
i just close my eyes and my mind travel for every place... A such good peace
R.I.P. Andy Rourke. He had some of the best bass lines in all of music. This is a good example
Andy was the best ever! That bass here will forever live! Love you Andy!
So sad 😢
"Morrisey"....
I woke up with this bass line in my head today
You speak the truth. 👍
Well I wonder
Do you hear me when you sleep?
I hoarsely cry
Well I wonder
Do you see me when we pass?
I half-die
Please keep me in mind
Please keep me in mind
Gasping but somehow still alive
This is the fierce last stand of all I am
Gasping, dying but somehow still alive
This is the final stand of all I am
Please keep me in mind
"This is the fierce last stand of all I am" first before the last lyric here
I know everyone hears my ass sleep blhahah
In my teenage years, this song used to bring me to tears in my bedroom. Desperately sad and desperately beautiful.
Same here....really saved me from shitty teenage depression.
I’m almost 30 this song can have me happy and sing or just destroy me
ME TO
Still makes me cry everytime.
Are you Gen X? Cause I used to do the same thing.
Yes , johhny marr and morrisey are great , but can we talk about the incredible bass line.
perfectly tailored to that guitar by marr
@@relaxedphylax that's the story with the majority of Rourke and Joyce, the two of them are so tight and they give Marr that licence to do whatever he wants on top of the rhythm, one of the reasons I love this band so much
The Bass player is incredible! I love listening to his Bass playing in Smiths’ songs!
No.
Smiths basslines always gorgeous. Andy Rourke. Some debate whether he or Marr wrote them. Doesn't really matter to me. They are beautiful.
The killer has a good taste in music ngl
Indeed
HAH Thats exactly where I just came from. Knew of the Smiths before but very few song. Another on to add to my playlist.
I was singing to each Smiths soundtrack lol
The Killer made me rediscover and fall in love with The Smiths all over again.
shit
As always the best Smiths song is whichever one you're listening to.
Turkey Bowlwinkle Lol i loved that
How can someone so young
sing words so sad? ...and so wonderful?! I love Morrissey since I was 16!
Because Johnny Marr wrote most of the songs and lyrics.
@@VanHellsing12 Marr wrote most of the music but Morrissey wrote all the lyrics. Plus Morrissey is 5 years older than Marr.
Just look around at the world...there are a lot of sad things to write/sing about.
Ok boomer
Sheila take a sheila take a bow
Well I wonder
Do you hear me when you sleep ?
I hoarsely cry
Oh...
Well I wonder
Do you see me when we pass ?
I half die...
Oh...
Please keep me in mind

Gasping - but somehow still alive

gracias buen hombre por las letras y así cantar esa hermosa canción.
Ow well,this is exact how im feeling...........
Gracias broder!
Well I wonder, does DeVone hear me when he sleeps, I hoarsely cry...
This song reminds me of my near-death experiences, all the layers of depression I went through. But somehow still alive... To all truly broken hearts out there: you'll learn to breathe again sooner or later.
Like the tide it ebbs and flows we just have to learn to swim. Or stay afloat. I know....
@@oldandnew1234 eventually we will sink, mortality is the best... spend your life trying only to realize that you cant take anything with you after the end credita
Thanks for this...somehow still breathing
This.
🤍
RIP Mr. Rourke. The Smiths were and still are a massive part of my life. Immortal. 😢💔
Beautifully Said 💞
-> se parece a la voz de morrisey....
Rumor is they only played this song live one time. If only they knew this might be one of the most beautiful songs they had written.
Daniel Esposito not even once 😳. The closest we’ve ever gotten was from a live Morrissey performance of just a short excerpt of the song. “Gasping, dying... but some how still alive “
@@matthewsimental9688 can u give the video name?
@@fachriputra7644 th-cam.com/video/_gvq1JANkJ8/w-d-xo.html
They may have known it and still not played it.
True..and recently I read an article/ letter that Morrissey sent to Marr asking him to please not mention him in the interviews he does..and then he proceeded to mention some of the songs he was grateful for in their collaborations..but sadly this wasn't mentioned. Even Morrissey overlooked his own genius.
The Smiths are incredible and that's a scientific fact!!
🤔 this story checks out 😆
Period!
Yessir
I DO trust in Science. Somehow evolution created a perfect being. I ❤️ U, Moz
They are flat as the ground ?
Or maybe grounded as our poetical matters ?
🤔🤩🙏
It's the most human of emotions. A deep longing to know that you are thought of and loved by another person. Whether I'm dead or alive. "This is the final stand of all I am. Please keep me in mind".
My best friend was re-diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia last year, he battled valiantly for 7 months, on the last day he was alive, I found this song on a instagram video. The phrase “ this is my final stand of all I am” caught my attention as I knew my friend was on his final stand, only a miracle would be able to save him at that point. 40- 60 mins after finding the song we got the news he had passed away. I went back and listened closely to the song and it’s almost as if it was a message from him, I’ve never heard this song before that day….
🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
May your friend RIP
This is TH-cam and this is The Smiths, sir.
RIP Andy. Thanks for giving bass to the soundtrack of my youth.
My brother passed away July 27th 2021. Hey Bobby I always keep you in mind. Love you and always will Keep You In Mind. RIP Robert Wagner Lewis JR. Forever
Instruments, perfectly orchestrated. The last 45 seconds is an audio orgasm. Listening to it on vinyl, with a proper set up, is unparalleled.
This is one of Marr's greatest moments.
The rain sound should be corny, but somehow it isn't.
You cannot beat vinyl. One of the greatest bands to ever press a vinyl record.
Moz really missed Marr in a big way musically. Even his biggest solo hits don't hold a candle to Smith's b sides.
oh, no doubt.....with a fine Merlot and a sweet kush blunt
So glad you mentioned this. I absolutely love it.
This song, just shows how the smiths have mastered the emotion of desperation, in both sound and words. That “please keep me in mind” is just a request, it’s a plea. The speaker is begging to not only be seen, but to be spoken to, to simply be noticed during a dark lonely period in his life. Amazing.
The most underrated song by The Smiths in my humble opinion.
By far the most underrated. It’s NEVER mentioned in any top 10 Smiths songs list, but it’s up there. Every time I hear this song I find something new to appreciate about it.
I had a crush on someone so bad at the time when I was 20-21 and they didnt know. I bought Meat is Murder and this song came on. I couldn't believe it, it was like it was the soundtrack to my life at that point. Life can have some magic moments like that but I was instantly in love with the Smiths at that point forever on. It still sounds as good as it did in 87 when I first heard it. A beautiful song and I love the rain at the end.....perfect for anyone in that situation, it puts those feelings into a beautiful song that somehow makes you feel better. It did me anyway
same!
_same.._
:(
I feel the same about everything you said here..
Hey everyone. Smile. I will plant trees on behalf of you. I will try to assist from afar. Deep breaths it's alright. 🌠
When he sings "please keep me in mind", it does something to my heart. Like this idea that humans always want to be remembered somewhere by their loved ones, even long after they're gone💔
This song is one that never gets the credit it deserves! The Smiths are still one of my favorite groups!
I'll just leave this comment here and whenever someone likes it I'll be reminded of this masterpiece
And another comment.
Hello.
@@briancox9357 This comments section should be the longest on Ytube.
Top 10 song by the Smiths
@@JimLagocki Yes & yes.
It's such a haunting and depressing song. But, that's what makes it so beautiful.
Perfect song. The bass, acoustic guitar, bombastic snare
Morissey singing dark lyrics to jazzy chord changes and it's still just rock and roll. Marr and morissey were the perfect couple, until they weren't.
My favorite song of all time.
The combination of Morrissey's lyrics and Marr's guitar is simply something out of this world
And Rourkes bass. Rourke's bass is such a massive part to their sound but he never gets much credit.
Neither did their drummer❤
But that was due to the music press in those days fawning over Morrissey and marr with the vanity of teenage hearts and only photogenic faces required
Keep me in mind
How very apt ❤and the money to be made by only inviting half the band so only paying half the band 😢
@@alessandroscuderi7300
Some of Andy's greatest work. We all should keep him in mind!!
WIW is an under-appreciated (and oft-overlooked) classic. In my humble opinion, this is without doubt one of the best songs in the entire Smiths catalogue. Morrissey's vocal and lyric is heart-wrenching, and delivered with both heavy emotion AND restraint- a very difficult thing to achieve. Andy Rourke's bass part is astonishing- I get the feeling that his main bass riff is central to the song's overall existence. Moerover, it's what Rourke DOESN'T play that makes his part so memorable.- the beginning of the first verse being a great example.
The 'Meat Is Murder' LP was recorded in late 1984 (and released in Feb '85)- co-writer, guitarist and producer Johnny Marr was only 21 years old, and his production is nigh-on perfect. The mix is broad, crisp and immediate- hats off to both Marr and Stephen Street, who- as far as I can tell,- mixed the album together, with some input from the other band members. Everything sounds great, with the slight exception of the snare drum- to my ears, at least. Perhaps it could come down in level by 3 or 4 db, and perhaps tuned slightly higher for a more lively 'ring'. It might've added some brightness overall, but it's a minor complaint.
The extensive use of acoustic guitars on this song really makes it stand out on 'Meat Is Murder'. The subtle use of volume swells on the electric guitar parts, deliberately back in the mix, underneath the acoustics- is a genius move. The ambience track, the rain... just brilliant. Regarding the ending, personally I could listen to that outro for another minute and a half or so, with a slow grand fade- in much the same vein as 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others'... yet I admit, I love it just as it is! They just don't make records like this anymore! DJH ; )
I always thought the outro should have been a bit longer. It’s beautiful.
Well said this. How the fuck did that man do all that at such a young age, its timeless
definitely, although you sound more like a sound engineer than a fan; I am personally pleased to preserve a relative innocence about the minutiae of this wonderful music; as the English romantic poet Keats said, 'We murder to dissect'
Great job breaking that down. Impressive.
The punchy deep snare has a muted sound that blends well with the other things you noted. A crisp tight cracking snare would detract from this song in my opinion
gasping and dying, but somehow still alive... sums up my existence.
same.
I feel the same way..you are NOT alone..morrissey will always be there for us..and also the drugs help..I know he is against them but hey im not Andy Rourke an this is not 85/86..
Sum up exactly what i am in present as well, and the smiths weirdly, they proves me how i am feeling.
It's so sad to know some people feel that way, read buddhism n itll answer questions for u
@@michbeck88 Sayin drugs help doesn't help ya know ? it will get things worse
Masterpiece of a Song. So underrated
Tears falling down my face at the moment, hearing this beautiful art of a song
I want to go back in time and listen to this song for the first time. I HEAR you Morrisey!
same here
My wife told me about Rourke’s death this morning, and I said … he’s the guy who played my favorite bass line ever. I pulled up this song, and she said she forgot how much she loved it. 🙌
Awesome story! I jumped stage and hugged them in California!
Morrissey is one of the greatest lyric poets, of his time, sweet voice, sad words, describes about his life.
I want to lay in this song and cry. I want to hug my tears.
this song perfectly encapsulates what it's like to be desperately in love with your best friend and it's a rainy day and you just really want them to look up one day and see that you're not just an amazing friend. you just want them to keep you in mind
Exactly.
RIP Andy thank you for all the wonderful music and unforgettable bass lines 🤍
What a band ... I cry every time I listen....
Respect🎭
The last minute is simply out of this world
It definitely is, I wish it went on for longer
Well my girl and I broke up last week, I still love her as I did when I first laid eyes on her, she moved on, talking to another dude and I just slave my life away and smoke not to think, sleep off the pain, all I want is peace of mind..
Love is an unfair game. Those who love less win.
Women evolved to be heartless but don't fret, you'll be glad it happened when you meet someone else.
give it time - it gets better
I’m in the same exact spot man..
find that peace. it's out there....
That part in the lyric when Morrissey says ,.please keep me in mind..ummm.
It gets in that deep space inside.
I was 13 in '87and just discovered this band months before they called it quits. Changed my life. Made a cassette copy of this album off my older brother's cassette copy while he was at college. Played the hell out of that cheap quality cassette. Glorious days. I wouldn't trade coming of age in the 80s for anything.
I wish I grew up then rather than being an adolescent now, it's the worst thing ever.
Me either..the best of days/music
this song makes me cry so much everytime i hear it. it just, represents so much loneliness...
“This is the final stand, of all that I am”
It’s a final plea for affection to be returned. I’ve been there before and it’s heartbreaking and yes you hope she keeps you in mind. Almost like she has an epiphany of what she could have but you have to learn to let it go and move on. It keeps you in bondage from potentially meet someone else
This is real art that makes a person feel, pure genius.
Johnny Marr the genius, absolutely beautiful on guitar. Incredible piece, Pure emotion.
Underrated bass player. He had some great riffs.
0:31 Beautiful when those bass notes come in. R.I.P Andy Rourke.
I keep listening again and again and I think I can never fully grasp the beauty of this melody, of this lyric. this song is indescribably beautiful.
Brasil you

The most beautiful Smiths song in my opinion.....This is the fierce last stand ..of all I am..😢
The way his voice comes in hauntingly. Such a great song.

It's a perfect song. The comeback at min 2:10 brings tears to my eyes.
the whole band were amazing but Johnny Marr really did know how to make heavenly sounds with his guitar
You’re right, that’s the best moment of the song
Yes yes yes !!!!
Crying to this on repeat
One day you'll get up and dance to it on repeat! Things do get better with time.
@@izzyash2031 no it only gets worse
Yes it gets way worse for awhile before it gets better.
I'm leaving my soul here
RIP Andy. This was always my favorite of your deeply inventive work.
What a fantastic band. Smiths are legendary
Nice profile picture, my favourite doom metal album
The Smiths is the glue of the depressed, the sad, the lonely, the odd, it keeps us held together. Hugs to us all.
Yes, yes it is. I'm 54, still listening.
Still odd.
Still sad.
Love this song always.
I've heard it said Morrissey is The Voice of a Generation, I say Voice of a Century.
His talent serves a divine purpose, so grateful it happened in my time.
☮️
This always manages to remind me of a woman I had a massive crush on in my mid 20s who I went on a few dates with and whom I still keep in very superficial touch with, as we have lots of mutual friends. So much feeling wasted on someone who will never care about it.
Misery loves company. The best consolation for unhappiness is knowing someone shares it, and The Smiths provide that catharsis. Noone writes lyrics about our dark, dirty, petty, unshareabale secrets like Morrissey.
@@randomaxe662 👍👍❤❤
Reminds me of my entire life. So much feeling wasted on those who never cared about me.
David Fincher, Michael Fassbender and Netflix brought me here!
same for me
glad to see people listening to the smiths because of The Killer, I think everyone needs to hear them at least one time while they can
My youth did. 👍
My favorite from the Smiths to this day❤️
I'm forever soaked to the bone by that rain.
No one on earth and produce music like this...
Only the Smiths .
I will never forget the first time I heard this song - it was 1985, I was at university and we were on a road trip cruising through into a beautiful part of NZ called Leigh as the shadows were starting to appear and getting longer, due to the sun was going down in the early evening. We were listening to the new Smiths, Meat is Murder album and this song was playing! Had to rewind it again on the car cassette deck!
I was 20 yrs old and have never forgotten that moment!
This is by far my favourite song by the smiths
Though when I was younger it would not have made my top 10 smiths songs
as I get older I have fallen in love with this haunting beautiful melody
same here, listening to the smiths for 20 years and this song floats to the top as one of my favorites.
Same
RIP Andy! You made this song deep and powerful!
The Killer brought me here. Thank you for that 🥰
RIP, Andy. The first song I thought of when I heard the news. One of his more affecting bass lines, to me.
This made me cry.
My favorite Smith’s song!! Been listening for over 30 years!
The guitar on this is euphoric! 😍
Will always love the smiths for helping me through the hardest times with their music. They are the best
This is music
The Smiths introduced me to the best period of my life in Manchester. It will never come back. Evenings with friends, grabbing a beer or two in pubs, listening to rock music. Miss those days, specially when listening to the smiths.
The band of my life.
Loved them as a teenager in 84 and love them still.
They spoke to me, moved me and saved me.
R.I.P. Andy Rourke.
You will never know just how important you were in my life. 💔
_one of my favorite smiths songs for sure, here after a heart break of seven years...._
Bro, u all right? That's a pretty long time dude
Some things can’t heal themselves, especially when you really wanted something to be yours, I don’t get why we can’t get what we want
❤❤❤❤
Listening to this trying to get my mind off the surgery ill be getting on Tuesday to remove some tumors from my ovaries PLEASE keep me in mind
Godspeed Hilda o7

Hilda Hernandez Stay Strong 💪
Hope it went well and you recovering now ❤️
This song makes me cry
Wow this song is amazing …masterpiece❤
Rest In Peace Andy Rourke, The Bassist Of The Smiths. I can't believe he died. I love the Smiths very much and today we lost such a great player today. RIP
Its cool that theres so many people in comment sections like this talking about how they found The Smiths when they were 14-15 years old in the 80s, and here I am; a 15 year old girl who discovered The Smiths a little over a year ago.
This is seriously one of my favorite songs of theirs. It’s very relaxed but it still touches you.
This song just hits the depths of your soul.
I fist listened to this song when I was 21, now I'm on my early 30's. This takes me back with this girl, she was the girl, this was our song , we where so special to each other , I was still a teen and just fucked it up, stubborn and selfish, but now I think too much of her, she's still the girl in my dreams and memories , if you remember me Rini, forgive me, I still think of you whenever The Smiths comes out, I still keep you in mind .
The magic of Andy Rourke's bass on this song. Just perfect.
This young guy on the cover of this beautiful LP will be around forever. Immortalised.
This song is so hauntingly beautiful...
