Well it is good to feel the audience love for the artist- Come on ! You are just being a party pooper! Mozza seems to be OK with it anyway- Go to Deezer instead!
@@teresawalters6358 I've been to many hundreds of gigs over the last three decades, and in general, I love it when the audience is involved and invested in the artist. I saw Morrissey live numerous times in the 90's and 00's and the audiences tended to be gloriously wild, but what doesn't work is whooping and screaming when the man is performing a song as emotionally charged and fragile as Asleep, one which needs to be heard and felt, not drowned out by inane noise. It's like throwing a blanket over a great piece of art when other people are trying to take it in. You must host quite the party, by the way, if they consist of whooping along to suicide songs.
@@jam-nc8ut same thing happened to Elliott Smith after he got famous. God and Radiohead. Can’t tell you how many times Exit Music, or How To Disappear, or Videotape was ruined by idiots wooing and singing along - usually a little out of key and out of time. Pre - fame thom would’ve stopped and had words. I saw him do it twice actually - once during “street spirit” on the bends tour and once during “no surprises” on the OKC tour. Elliott Smith didn’t seem to mind but Jesus Christ.
Sometimes I think Morrissey's physiognomy on stage reflects this immense disrespect from the audience. Scream like a maniac during "Asleep" is like laugh towards Mozart's Lacrimosa. But anyway ... People are the same everywhere.
I love his attitude in this video. The way he holds himself while he sings. He seems completely focused on his own feelings and what he’s singing... it’s like the crowd has disappeared. I love that. “There is another world, there is a better world. Well, there must be.”
My daddy was so physically sick. He just wanted to go to a better world. He hugged and kissed me. Told me I was his lil sweetheart and died of complications from cancer 6 hours later. I know this is a song about suicide, but my dad was ready to meet his Maker and that’s how I choose to think about this song. He’s no longer sick and with the Lord and his family. He’s finally whole again.
@@chuy8356 What the fuck is your problem??? Don´t you know that women can have a Depression, oh you´re so fucking wrong and arrogant! Show some respect here thanks! I have been in a very deep depression in more than five years now and I live a nightmare. So don´t waste your hate & energy to write that comment over and over again! You have made it very clear that you don´t know nothing about woman! I guess you´re a very bitter man and that women don´t like you and well, I can understand why!
Aye, well he will be dead soon then hell get his lifelong wish boo-hoo so sad what's the point anyway? Just a self indulgent wanker with a quiff ten-a-penny these days
Wow imagine whistling and shouting "woo hoo" while the greatest lyricist ever born sings one of his most beautiful creations. I can only assume this is an American crowd?
J Babz there are an almost infinite amount of things which makes America terrible. but also a huge list of things that make it awesome (Most are good music)
This was actually hard to watch. I had tears streaming down my face. He looks sad tired and sad. And the crowd wouldn't shut up and enjoy the song. Obnoxiously screaming and yelling.
Morrisey does actually deal with depression, he may have had personal connections to this song. He stated in his most recent interview that he does not take medicine for itneithwr because "it is a state of mind and cannot be changed"
this brought me to tears not just because the song is so desperately beautiful but how his face shows so much emotion and pain and the crowd... are just cheering... they can't tell or they don't care... it's like a metaphor for life in a way and it's so heart-wrenching to watch
Still remember hearing this song for the first time as the B-side on the "Boy With the Thorn In His Side" single, and being stunned at just how beautiful it was. You just knew then that The Smiths were the best band on the planet, and that no one even came close.
@Dan Leak I ve been to America, bloody awful place. Plastic rainforests, I mean, really? Best thing was the airplane trip home. Free all expenses trip, gifted to see my father out there, who had been given the job at Corus to bail them out of the shit because American employees were too inept to do it. And go ahead comment a tirade back... I won't read it anyway since I always turn comment replies off and never revisit threads. "Have a nice daaay"
my father died 5 years ago. He was 92. Years before he died I stopped listening to this song because some of the verses my father would say. When he died my daughter, who knew I liked the Smiths played this for the family gathering and during the whole period. This song captured the moment so much it was scary. I still sometimes listen to it but it is still hard. Miss you dad.....RIP
God damn morrissey is such an incredible songwriter and all you can say about this song is that it is perfect and beautiful so how could those loud disrespectful people ruin a great moment like that
This isn't really about suicide. It's not really about anything, it just sounds sad. Also, if you want a perfect version then listen to a fucking studio version.
@@somekidwithacomputer2939 ....I'm not sure people sit down and write lyrics about nothing. They obviously meant something to Morrissey when he wrote them. The beauty of good lyrics though is they mean different things to different people. To you it's just a sad song but to me it reminded me of my Gran who died a year before the album was released. She'd lived her life and had been house bound for quite a while and been without my Grandad for 18 years. In her latter years she told me she was ready to go. In my early twenties I found it difficult to comprehend that feeling, it felt alien to me and so sad. Perhaps I'll never fully understand it because in my 60's now I still love life so much, but as I've got older I understand her words more. The song's lyrics capture how she felt I guess, or how I perceived her thoughts looking back.
From the beginning of the song,you can see it on his face, his eyes,breathing,he was nervous how he's going to sing it and the way how he stands/move,way how he holds his left arm, it is so obvious, he wasn't feeling good at all back then and plus having to sing this song in that condition, heartbreaking. Still, amazing song
What you all moaning for it's a bloody concert of course people are gonna sing along! It's a beautiful song which May have saved their life once upon a time. They are with everyone who understands what they go through day in day out. For just 2 hours of their life's!
A lot of artists change with age, you can hear it in their voice, their mannerisms...and after all these years he still seems the same and sings it as beautiful as ever. This song captivates me.
Fuck. Bawling. Watching this through video alone hit me so much. This man, his words, lyrics, music, are helping me get through some tough times right now. When I listen to him I feel a little less alone. I can't say that about many artists. I hope to see and meet him one day❤
Watch this video closely, the song, his health, the way he clutches his heart (I know..), the way he looks, the song selection. Make your own conclusions... Personally I love him and dislike him in equal measures which is much the way I would like..
There's a live version that was posted from the Miami show I was at. Mostly quiet and worth watching. I believe The Smiths only played this song once in concert. It was a bonus to watch, hear and experience this one.
y aún así se comportaron como imbéciles. Tenían a un icono de la música contemporánea enfermo de cáncer cantando sobre el suicidio, podrían haber mostrado algo de respeto...
Please...To all the WHEW'S while Moz is singing. This song .....This Gem of a human being deserve appropriate respect. Let us all wish with the impression he has made on us all, Well wishes and to bless our ears, hearts, minds and soul fo rmany years to come. Morrissey You can beat this!
I understand why the audience were excited, but without their noise, this would be absolute perfection.
@Rosie Stevens thanks for your input.

Exactly.
Never heard so many people cheer for suicide. Maybe just let him do that one and stfu. That's song's sacred.
People ruin everything.
American's ruin EVERYTHING
Maybe that's why they only played it once as The Smiths
Patrick Chole they also ruined please please please here. This crowd was the worst
I interpret the song as someone who is dying, giving up, and saying goodbye.
Only the sound of tears in London
I wish people would shut up.
Sometimes I think Morrissey's physiognomy on stage reflects this immense disrespect from the audience. Scream like a maniac during "Asleep" is like laugh towards Mozart's Lacrimosa. But anyway ... People are the same everywhere.
I know. It's a fucking clueless crowd.
He get more 'respect' in Manchester.
Americans...
ikr ffs you dont scream «WOOO HOO» to a song like this for every sentence
I love his attitude in this video. The way he holds himself while he sings. He seems completely focused on his own feelings and what he’s singing... it’s like the crowd has disappeared. I love that.

This song reduces me to tears every time

Lydia Russell
Yep. Me too. I first heard this song in 1988 and still wrecks me to this very day.
@@chuy8356 imagine being this miserable
Saddest part for me is seeing him crumble nearing the lines deep in the cell of my heart. It's like he cant escape it

there is nothing more hilariously ignorant than lambasting a nationality based on one event.
J Babz there are an almost infinite amount of things which makes America terrible. but also a huge list of things that make it awesome (Most are good music)
Jack Lingard read my top comment please 🤐
Greatest lyricist?
This was actually hard to watch. I had tears streaming down my face. He looks sad tired and sad. And the crowd wouldn't shut up and enjoy the song. Obnoxiously screaming and yelling.
+safia bella "Don't feel bad for me...

Morrisey does actually deal with depression, he may have had personal connections to this song. He stated in his most recent interview that he does not take medicine for itneithwr because "it is a state of mind and cannot be changed"
It was difficult. I was there with my wife, who has since passed away. This song describes how I feel in so many ways.
@@stevencalzada1926 I feel for you Steven and wish you all the very best.
Be thankful for such a great artist.
I am hoping Morrissey recovers from his cancer.
One of the best lyricists I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
Sharon Miller Vida longa a MOZ!!!
+Anthony Ennis HE HAS CANCER? FUCK THAT SHIT
OMG..he has cancer???
@@gregh7042yes he said it in an interview and ontop of that he deals with depression :(
He looks so unwell here :( But I am very glad to say I saw him in concert last week and he was on top form and seemed in great spirits!
He looks fine 😜 what r u talking about
He had cancer at the time didn't he?
this brought me to tears not just because the song is so desperately beautiful but how his face shows so much emotion and pain and the crowd... are just cheering... they can't tell or they don't care... it's like a metaphor for life in a way and it's so heart-wrenching to watch
get over yourself. He's into the song in a certain way as the performer and the crowd are into it in a different way as the audience.
@@Smoomty bro why are you replying to a five year old comment also i dont like him now lmao
@@SmoomtyIf you’re wooing this song, you don’t get it. It’s quite simple. It’s like wooing a psalm at a funeral.

JoeStunner that's a very bold statement
Boy with the thorn in his side and this where on the same cassette? wow. my two favourite songs
I Cry every time I hear this ...it is simply beautiful ...
Morrissey is love, Morrissey is life
Fact
Definitely
Wooooa!!! Wooooeeeuuu" Yahooooooo!!! . Does the us people knows the difference between to be in a concert and to be in a rodeo?

I just love him
You can see all the emotions in his face, must have been tough to preform
listening to this makes me cry :(
What a beautiful song. Maybe one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. I just heard it for the 1st time off the Smiths "the World Wont Listen."
Means alot to me xx
He actually got me thru some tough times in my late teens.
Peace morrisey- such a big part of my life since 83
There's a live version that was posted from the Miami show I was at. Mostly quiet and worth watching. I believe The Smiths only played this song once in concert. It was a bonus to watch, hear and experience this one.

Oh the theatrics !! I LOVE him .... *wipes away Tears*
You fill my soul
gaawwwddd, i'm an over forty macho, and this makes me cry like a little bitch...thanks johnny/moz/andy/mike...see u in the next life
If you don't cry listening to this song you're already dead inside
i love you morrissey . this is a song i love from your collective soul
As an artist, it would be such an amazing feeling to have a crowd interaction like this.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I FEEL HAPPY FOR YOU IN 2020 I FOUND THIS A WEEK AGO.
Beautifully soulful ... great artists ...morriesys voice as good as it ever was xxx
Moz looks so sad 😭😭😭 most of these people don’t really understand these lyrics
Gracias morrissey
por aquellas bellas canciones y esas que te salvaron la vida
Beautiful
LONG LIVE MORRISSEY!!
If Moz ever does decide to pack it in, I think this would be a great song to finish it all off in his final gig.
Sublime. Thanks for posting!
First ten seconds: Silly Morrissey.... *roll eyes*
Last ten seconds: *sobbing*
That is ridiculously killer. Holy F Batman! Morrissey killed it. Bravo
Beautiful performance !!!!
There IS a better world 💜
Holds his chest like he's been wounded in battle. Love you Moz

Es increible!!una pipol tan interente como el.
There is another world there is a better world there must be
Meravigliosa.

Quanto vorrei che quest'uomo fosse felice
Woah he sounds exactly the same
