    The songwriting, the guitars, the bass, the drums, Morrissey’s vocals. Everything about this song is perfect.

    I'm 42. I honestly discovered the Smiths like, 10 days ago. It's been an everyday gift so far, I find a new favorite song every single day...got deeply shook by "please, please, please" but this is my favorite from them. For today 🙂

      How did you discover The Smiths? It would be interesting to know - I have been listening to The Smiths since the 80’s and my cousin introduced them to me and I had all of the cd’s and they got stolen back in the early 2000’s out of my vehicle - good thing there is streaming now

      If you listen to American FM radio (some people actually still do) you’ll hear The Cure, Radiohead, Bowie, etc. on a typical mainstream rock station, but I’ve never heard the Smiths on American radio except for How Soon Is Now and on college alternative stations.

    "Gasping..... but somehow still alive......This is the fierce last stand, of all I am". That is one of the most beautiful lyrics ever written. If you've ever loved and lost, no matter how big of a man you are, it cripples you.

    This is the perfect Smith's song to me. A gem. Not necessarily the most known. Its not one that gets the recognition or plaudits it deserves, but to me it is at the very top of their catalogue. Another one where despair and longing are crafted into a beautiful pop song; a perfect Smiths song. Plus the outro of this song (last minute) is one of THE very best - wish it would go on and not stop. Marr really knows how to get a chord progression that tugs at the heart and his guitar work on this song is outstanding. Morrissey's vocals are never better. I saw the Smith's live a few times and Morrissey and Marr separately ever since and I have never heard this one live. I so wish one of them would play it.

    My first (and only) love got me into the Smiths. I listened to them nonstop. For our first Christmas together I got her Louder Than Bombs vinyl. We loved the Smiths. Their music brought us together. After 3 years we sadly broke up and I stopped listening to them because it hurt too much. I would hear the Smiths and want to bawl thinking about her. Hearing them in public was the aboslute worst. 4 years later I've finally made my peace with our relationship and can enjoy them again. It's a great feeling. Like I can breathe again.

You cannot tell me this track by THE SMITHS is not sensational both Lyrically and Musically. (Johnny Marr on Guitar and Singer Morrissey on the Emotional vocals.) He sings "I Hoarsley Cry" Who writes like that? BRILLIANT! (Video made Smiths fans!) This track is truly EPIC!

    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

    Weird how songs can take you back......I'm 51 now and I just got a vivid memory of me as a teenager lying on my bedroom floor next to my stereo with my headphones on with my eyes closed ......just got a chill down my spine.....literal goosebumps.

  • @ralphlazio505

    This lyric is a diary of the pains and groans that words cannot express. That haunting feeling that never leaves you. That hope; that perhaps you meant something. The hope that your love that was given has not been forgotten; but, that knowledge that you hate that you must ‘move on’…. The human nature of not wanting to let go because it hurts so much; and all you wanna do is see that person one more time now, because of what you have to say, but because you still love them and you miss them so much; because you are left wondering, ‘what did I do wrong?’ I wonder; does this person still ‘keeps me in mind’; as worthless as it really is; my heart still hopes so.

    Para mi humilde opinión y gusto, esta es la mejor canción que haya escuchado, desde la base del bajo que soporta junto con la batería de Joyce durante toda la melodía, la melancolía de la guitarra junto a la voz de Mozz te transportan del sopor al sentirte soñando en los cielos para finalmente rematar con la lluvia llena de un momento apacible. Los amo Smiths...

    Played this my first time visiting Chicago right after breaking up with a long time girlfriend. I was riding the L all the way through the city and to the airport, watching the sunset bring in the night. I can’t explain what I felt, but the Smiths made me feel like everything would be alright.

    I'm 56 and still playing them I remember seeing Morrissey (can't call him Moz) around 86/87 along Kensington High Street. Wish I'd had the guts to say hello but I don't see the point of autographs/selfies etc. Will love his music forever despite controversy and his dubious views.
