Fun fact: Morrissey once filled out a questionnaire prior to an interview: "Where and when were you happiest?" He answered: May 21, 1959. .......... That's the day before he was born.
If you think this is depressing then you have a treat in instore when you do “I know it’s over”
That's an all time favorite of mine
Or "Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me"
This is my next one. Bring it on. 😎
@@WesWsly yes, rather bombastic for them and an intriguing intro, too.
@@WesWsly what about "asleep". That is probably the peak depression on this band lol
"Everyday is like Sunday" is comically depressing.
RIP Andy Rourke. Glad you appreciated him
I've never found this song depressing. It reminds me of that time in life when you feel like nobody understands you. You just want to leave and drive until you find a place where you can start over and be someone else.
In my modest opinion, Andy is among the best bass players of all time and I explain why: he proved the bass can be leading melodic line in a terrific great song creating his mark on it, till a point the song doesn’t sound the same without it. Also, he used different tunings on his bass and played a lot of lines with slaps and palm hand mutings all the time with both the pick and also the fingers. Morrissey and Johnny were really lucky to have him on the band.
I totally agree. And I would add that he was lucky to have Marr and his genius guitar playing, giving him room for that bass, the 2 working and playing of each other. Think of This Night Has Openned My Eyes. Astonishing dance of guitar and bass. And awesome song.
I love that you appreciate the brilliance of Andy Rourke. The entire Smiths catalog is worth a listen.
You really must listen to "I Know It's Over".
the smiths were the soundtrack to my teenage years. this band was for the outcast, the introvert, the weirdo, the loner
RIP Andy Rourke, greatest melodic bassist ever.
And I can not stress how much I enjoy hearing you go on about Andy and his bass work on these Smith's songs. I love it.
😎
The Smiths are ART
Yes, most underrated band of the 1980s, maybe the most underrated band of all time.
It’s hilarious how she focuses on the bass, when the Smiths have Johnny Marr, the best rhythm guitar songwriter in the history of music!
Haha .. I laff
He is in a tunnel with his partner, and he is thinking to grab the steering wheel to crash head-on with an oncoming vehicle, but at the last moment, he looses his nerve. The 'light' is at the end of the tunnel, and represents hope and resolve in the midst of depression. Love your videos!!!
Am I going to say “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” again? Yes... is not a “love” song, but is so relatable haha, also the bass in that track is 👌
Most People don't get that Morrissey has penned some subtle morbid lyrics, that can be amusing and funny at the same time. If you laugh, or just smile at some of those lyrics, then you are among the few that get it. I feel Morrissey became even more skilled at using the best word choices to convey a message after the Smiths ended, and he went on to his next Band bearing his name. His sound changed post Smiths, but it's still lovely with relatable lyrics. .... Someone asked in a Smiths Fanzine 4-5 years after the Smiths breakup, if anyone could suggest a band with a Smiths sound/style, with some relationship difficulty/failure lyrics, and the suggestion was: The Sundays Album: "Reading, Writing, And Arithmetic." They sound like the Smiths but with a Female vocalist.
I think Johnny Marr even played on that album, or produced it?
His voice is so unique I love it. Great tune
*can't wait for your reaction to I Know It's Over, you'll get your bass and depression outta that one It's such a great song
When he sings "There is a light that never goes out" at the end I always thought of it as our Souls and people we all know that passed
You should definitely do "Well, I wonder", one of the most beautiful songs ever written and with a very prominent and wonderful bass, by the way, like all Smiths songs, that is.
I liked the 500 days of summer reference
I think it's a romantic song. 😄
Yes!!!!
As a withdrawn teen who had autism but didn't know it at tne time i spent a fair amount of time listning to the smiths when tney were at their peak and the lyrics actually spoke to me
Yep… ‘Asleep’ about tops the depressing chart , as far as The Smith’s goes!
There’s a lot of humour with morrisey aswell - try ‘pretty girls make graves’ or ‘girlfriend in a coma’ …. And yes, you’ve guessed it , quite dark humour!
I've just been watching a few of your Smiths reaction videos and am re-living the wonderment of the first time I heard them back in the early 80s, through you. Especially touched by the way certain lyrics (as well as the bass line) resonate for you and you don't have to go into why that is so. Best wishes from a new Music, Cats and Coffee fan here in England.
The check engine light on my car 🤣
If you love the bass, then ‘Barbarism begins at home’ will be right up your street
I was lucky enough to see the Smiths live in the 80s, lots of great suggestions here in the comments, for more great bass Melodie’s try Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Dead Souls, Transmission or Ceremony
I didn't know this one! It looks like I'll be a n00b on the rest of this journey with you. Great video and great song!
Andy kills it in “The Queen is Dead”. Bass perfection
Don't think you are scoring to high, its just The Smith have aload of 10 out of 10s
Or the most depressing side: I was the bus driver.
I hope there's more of The Smiths to come because that's why I subscribed!
I'm probably twice Lauren's age, but these Smiths songs have awakened the angsty 80's teen in me. It's a cool, amazing and depressing trip down Memory Lane! 😎
The line: "Because it's my home it's there home and I am welcome no more" is pretty powerful. I always think of all the kids kicked out of their house
Depressing sounding, but paradoxically, somehow uplifting.
As a fellow Andy fan... "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore". You won't regret it.
Just found your channel and I'm really enjoying it so far, so thanks for that. What people forget is that How soon is now was originally a b side! That's pretty mad in reality for a tune that is a 10/10 for me.
Here's some other suggestions for you:
As others have said, "I know it's over" is a masterpiece.
Suedehead is a gem
Everyday is like Sunday again is just great
I have forgiven Jesus - Morriseys VERY dry sense of humour comes out here.
Just a few for you to delve into 👍
This is my favorite Smith's song. The melody is amazing. It feels so happy and so tragic at the same time.
I love what u said about the bass being more prominent the instruments come through beautifully in the smiths music especially Johnny mars he’s a legend
There's a quote from Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown about why they didn't crack America where he says: "America doesn't deserve us yet."
Maybe this was true of The Smiths too?
I'm a British-post-Smiths-break-up stereotype; came across them in your teens and having that moment of clarity of having a band that speaks to me. To this day, they're still this 38-year-olds favourite band.
You're gonna get hit with so many recommendations; especially when it comes to the better-known singles, etc. and rightfully so! They are the most popular/liked for a reason.
But if you want a couple of "different" or 'uncommon" recommendations, generally speaking, 'Cemetry Gates' is a vastly underappreciated song. You might also appreciate 'Ask' or if you like the bass, then maybe 'Barbarism Doesn't Begin at Home'
But you're going to get so many recommendations and you're sucked in now; so it's just a case of when rather than if you get to them all.
They’re so fantastic
pls do “i know it’s over” the smiths
In my point of view, this song is about a ghost. They died side by side crashed by some large and heavy vehicle. He couldn't even understood if it was a double decker bus or a ten tonne truck! He wants to see people "young and alive". He's "welcome no more" because he's dead, he's a ghost. The light that never goes out, is the love between the two souls.
I could be wrong, but that's my interpretation.
❤
Great reaction. Loved this. Your reactions are the perfect fit for this group.
Brilliant
Anything on Meat is Murder
Love this song. It’s a bit depressing but uplifting too if that makes sense. This charming man or bigmouth strikes again are must songs to check out!
Maybe Melancholy is the word you are looking for? The Smiths music will be enjoyed by many for a very long time. It was original, unique and distinctive. They coined a sound, a whole genre really.
Great reaction! You have got to listen to Big Mouth Strikes Again.
They have a song along the lines of "your version"
Unhappy Birthday
The build up of the music and the fade out are the best part. I love the flute.
The good ol' proverbial "light" ("that never goes out") great reaction. Thank you
Great song and reaction again!!😎
But I still prefer Disintegration by The Cure for depressing music😁
You'll also get your bass fix too!!😎
That song is so hypnotic and melancholic it's amazing. A perfect album as well from start to finish
@@cloudbloom and the head on the door! one depressing song sinking but the rest is so good!!
Loving lyrics like you do, try Half-man Half Biscuits' God Gave us Life, or National Shite Day. Loads of good British acerbic wit, and just as entertaining. Some of the name drops are obscure, but you'll love Restless Legs and Eno Collaboration. Go for it.
I know its over ...& Sing me to sleep should be your next two songs from the Smiths
Some great Smiths songs:
Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
Asleep
...'In this one we're getting hit by a bus and it's a great thing' ....is soooo The Smiths. Brilliant. :)
The best part of the track is 'In the darkened underpass..........and I just couldn't ask'
Andy Rourke, the bassist, sadly passed a few weeks ago...
BTW, the unrequited version of this song is "Please, please please, let me get what I want."
I think that the depressing lyrics and bright music combo is part of the intended effect, but I also personally like the more consistently dark songs. But this was an obvious poll winner since its so well loved. I still think you're gonna like 'I know its over' better, it has more of that relatable longing for death thing Morrisey is so good at. Also if youre into this kind of vibe but want slightly heavier music, i'd check out The Cure, especially the early stuff. Surprisingly heavy for the time, and the Bass is very much at the top of the mix
You'll do "I know ir's over" next? ... hahaa.... you are not coming back from The Smiths now...
😀😄
5:36 someone claiming they can one up The Smiths has to be the funniest thing I’ve heard
Unrequired love? Girl Afraid, Back to the Old House, Well I Wonder. Deep pool of those with the Smiths. Elsewhere most of Tame Impala's Lonerism album is about unrequited love (Mind Mischief, Music to Walk Home By...) if you've not heard those.
spiritual ✨️ 🙏 🎶 ⏲️ 😎
My favorite song of all times - you can't get any better!!!!
What she said is a great song
I love seeing people discover The Smiths. I have been a huge fan since the 80's. These songs have been old friends for decades. You really need to listen to Unhappy Birthday. And if you want really depressing listen to Asleep. And if you want amazing bass listen to Rush Home Ruffians. And for a laugh listen to Vicar In A Tutu. (Where I got my name from) Great reaction vid. New subscriber here :)
This Night Has Opened My Eyes might actually be the saddest song you've ever heard.
Briliant girl, Brilliant
Nice reaction - i would suggest "i know its over" next or "what difference does it make"
have you heard _William, It was really nothing_ ?
One of my favorite bands ever 👍🏻
The light that never goes out it's from a house's window on the side of the road.
Darling, for your Morrissey-bass love I share with you... From his solo career first album "Alsatian Cousin"
"I said I love The Smiths"
Nice one, keep it up!
Come on Girl sweet and tender hooligan
Please If you get chance.. can you react to "that joke isn't funny anymore" by the Smiths.. my absolute fave ✌🏼
If you want more bass where it is just as or more prevalent than the guitar, then delve into Joy Division/New Order (Peter Hook)
Ok, it’s time for some stone roses.
I recommend made of stone and shoot you down and I wanna be adored - all your kind of vibe
May I suggest, This Night Has Opened My Eyes
B e t t e r t h a n b e i n g a l o n e💛
In the 80s, many bands were still playing on real instrments..
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore is the archetypal Smiths song and you would probably love that . Shimmering guitar , killer bass line , sombre yet playful lyrics . Songs like The Queen Is Dead are very different ... I have no idea what you would make of that ! So many great songs to choose from.
definitely my fav smiths song along with 'last night i dreamt...'
Deliciously depressing.
You want a depressing Smiths song? Listen to “Asleep”.
Nice jazz hands.
Thanks ☺️
Love this reaction but please do I know it's over!
I did. It’s coming soon 😊
They have been my favorite band since high school.
Youre funny ❤
This Night Has Opened My Eyes is my favorite! Check it out if you haven’t. Very sad
Have you ever reacted to joy division from the same city of Manchester my home city?
Sadly Andy Rourke bassist died couple of days ago.
A great song from a very clever band. There is a lot of dry humour in the lyrics. If you like bass driven tunes check out some more bands also from Manchester: Joy Division/New Order and The Fall. JD is angst ridden, totally brilliant both musically and lyrically, but not always an easy listen given their singer (Ian Curtis) killed himself aged 23. Morrissey tells a story of how he and Ian used to get the bus home together after punk gigs. JD later became New Order. The Fall are well unique. Enjoy.
Isn't the "light that never goes out" hope? :0)
Bass
Please react to Morrissey - Hold On To Your Friends
Great reaction darling try girlfriend in a coma next 😢
If you're talking about bass taking prority over lead guitar then joy division might be a good band to try. Peter hook led a lot of the best songs, transmission maybe. Enjoy your vids pal 👍
