    New Town Velocity - The Video:
    Shot around various buildings and areas of Greater Manchester, the video is based on the Psychogeography philosophy of the Situationist Movement.
    The song is taken from the critically acclaimed album The Messenger and was inspired by Marr's own story of the day he left school aged fifteen to pursue a life as a musician and features him in the council estate of Wythenshawe where he grew up.
    It was directed by David Barnes who directed the Upstarts video and art directed by Subset.

    This and “Hi Hello” are His best solo songs to date IMO. Has that Beautiful Smiths jangle, melody, & feel. This is right in Johnnys wheelhouse. Well done good sir.

    Left home a mystery
    Leave school for poetry
    I say goodbye to them & me
    Mission velocity
    It made me just run faster now
    I'm gonna take it all
    Drive around
    Make up my mind
    With the windows down
    I'm in something alright I know
    I got to live it out uh-oh
    I can't resist
    Net force zero oh no
    It turned out like I said it would
    Can I get the world right here?
    Step out to symphonies
    They play on for you and me
    When we faced that July down
    In uniforms
    One and one, no wrong
    We chased that summer down
    I'm in something alright I know
    I got to live it out uh-oh
    I can't resist
    Net force zero oh no
    It turned out like I said it would
    Can I get the world right here?
    I can't resist
    Net force zero oh no
    It turned out like I said it would
    Can I get the world right here?

    Not a lot of people know this, but, it has always been Mr. Marr's job to sort things out. Seriously. Check it out. If it wasn't for him, The Smiths would not have lasted five months, let alone the five years they did.
    Anyhow. Here is Mr. Marr soothing the souls of old fans of The Smiths - who really ought to know better because - Morrissey's always been like that. Always. Anybody claiming otherwise just did not have their eyes open fully.
    Nevermind. Doesn't mean you cannot enjoy The Smiths any longer because, that is just ridiculous. I have all the LP's. What difference does it make (smirk) whether I play them or not? Exactly.

    I think this is the best song on the album. The guitar work is so crisp and clean, as always, his vocals are effortless (which isn't always the case), and the lyrics are above average as well. And the video is quite good! Congrats Johnny!

    I highly recommend listening to/watching him perform this song at the KEXP studios. Fantastic
