The critical weight of this song is absolutely crushing. It's one of the greatest songs Morrissey has ever penned. Mark my words one day historians will look back on Morrissey as the genius he is and his lyrics will sit on the shelf next to the literary greats. Regardless of his fame he's still so under-acclaimed in his lifetime.
He's one of the better singer-songwriters. Historians won't ever pay him much heed, and to compare him to the literary greats is ridiculous. Setting him beside Shakespeare is like setting a candle beside the sun. Morrissey's lyrics divorced from the music would be nothing comparable to the poems of Wilfred Owen, Thomas Hardy, John Keats, WB Yeats, Wordsworth, Blake, Milton, Eliot, Wallace Stevens, Derek Wallcott, Emily Dickinson, etc - I'm only keeping the list because the song is about to switch!
@@Indieguitarist2007 Congratulations - that's the most unintelligent and ignorant comment I've ever heard anybody make. Morrissey has written nothing which would stand up without musical accompaniment (and I like many of his songs) . We couldn't call him a poet by any stretch of the imagination. To bring Shakespeare into the dialogue is like wheeling an atom bomb into the room
@@Indieguitarist2007 I don't, but I do take other things seriously: language and poetry being among them (the one being the greatest invention of homo sapiens, the other representing the pinnacle of that apex)
I am a poor freezingly cold soul So far from where I intended to go Scavenging through life's very constant lulls So far from where I'm determined to go Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love There is no way ... Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love But you see, I've got no charm Mmm... Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold Oh, this is very clear to you And you can tell I have never really loved You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day And all of my life no-one gave me anything No-one has ever given me anything My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye You must be such a fool To pass me by
That last line always gets me with the whole "you are the fool for not realizing the love I am willing to give, your loss" it's empowering, and relatable
Bona Drag was a great album as was Kill Uncle and later on You are the Quarry and Years of Refusal; but for me, Your Arsenal is Morrissey's consummate masterpiece. It holds a special place in my heart and my soul. It was the first Morrissey album my awkward and insecure adolescent self ever bought.
this song is the refuge of the damned. and unfortunately i am the damned. This song is so accurate to my own life. I wish i lived a life where Morrissey could never play a part, but he does
I trip when I hear the atmosphere. I feel like a ghost, that's real music. The upright bass sound like thunders, guitars like downpour, keyboards cry loneliness, Morrissey is a great song writer.
Burton Rd Forever 1977 Uh, yeah? You totally misunderstood what I said. I meant this song was equivalent to I Know It’s Over, it terms of style, lyrics etc.
Sometimes, while watching this video in full screen, I'll hold my laptop just close enough so it looks as though he is looking at me in conversation, simply singing his thoughts. It's wonderful.
True story: I saw him perform, during the Maladjusted tour, in 1997, in Miami Beach. He looked right at me, and sang to me for about seven or so seconds. I mouthed the words: "I love you," repeatedly, several times. I'll never forget it, as long as I live.
My friend and I saw him sing this live back in April and we fucking cried. So did the whole audience. It shocked us all but his live performance just shakes you.
It makes sense that some of us get drawn into the melancholy drift of Moz's art, is not a choice I realize now, so many years later, is a way of life, one that developed without choice.
There is a way I found in my life I did have the charm.....and became a father 7 days ago I remember the days of sitting back letting time pass wondering when and or where I would go for how far how long! I now feel I've become and one did not pass me by.....my wife! Morrisey is a Musical God as GOD I learned my emotions thru him and my friends sharing his music with me. GOD he is good.
I will feel dearly sad if I ever lose the disconnection I have with this song and move on, but at the same time feel the love and appreciation I have for this song as well as many of the smiths and Morrissey's songs. But for i'm entwined with this song
"And you can tell I have never really loved You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day" Once again the man is telling my life in one of his songs... His songs really make me feel better 'cause I know I'm not alone...
A lot of people think that morrissey is depressing but the words of his songs are amazing, we can't all live a life behind fake happiness all the time, sometimes we have to face the hard times in life.
I love you guys. You guys who quote the lyrics. Often when I listen to a Moz song I'll scroll down and read some comments and more than a few times I read the line just as he sings it. I smile every time :)
so deep, so real........i feel incredibly identified with the lyrics of this song in this part of my life.... i think that we all have felt like this song says i salute you all fans of morrisey and the smiths!
i like the mili-second of "we hate it when our friends become successful" hah. it reminds me of how very many times ive watched the dvd...this song is so beautiful. thank you morrissey, for everything.
So incredibly sad and beautiful! How it speaks my words for me: "My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye/You must be such a fool...to pass me by." Sam, that one is for you.
I love you Morrissey, you freal helped me out in my teen years w you'r songs, now i feel the meanings of you'r lyrics as an adult, now that I need you the most you're music is here w me just wish I can hug you !!! Love you man!
Someone very close to me shared this song with me, and I sang it for his birthday on my channel. This is truly and utterly without-a-doubt real music at it's best.
He is always the victim in everything, it's incredible... I think this is what I like about him, his sadness, his dramatization about everything in life... This is the way he found to live, or just to appear, I don't know... but I like it. I think he's not doing so much good music these days, but he was always very creative, especially with the Smiths. Long live to Morrissey.
When I say I "feel the same", I mean that his words are the closest to my heart, to my mind. That's why I feel like he understands me, although I never knew him. It's just like he was telling me about myself.
The Morrissey's song I listen for the first time, I cry so much when I heard in the movie. This song reminds me when I met Chris Pine, the moment that he's gone to the England and Scotland to make a new movie Outlaw King like Robert the Bruce King of Scots, many days that I am without Chris Pine, it is 98 days, when he back for me, I'll hold and kiss more in this beautiful mouth that he have, we're gonna marry in the church, travel to our honeymoon in Paris, Germany, Australia, Tennessee in Memphis or Miami, Florida. After our honeymoon, I'll have my beautiful baby girl or baby boy, we let's see them growing up, studying, graduating, etc. Me and my husband Chris Pine, we let's getting old until 70, 80, 90, 100... or stay forever until we died. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I'm hearing the first line as "Just another appalled freezing cold soul" However comforting, there is no virtue in that. To me this song is like a kick in the butt: get out of any rut you feel you are in, and do something with your life!
This is the song i've been trying to write all along but has constantly eluded me, Morrissey beat me to the punch and did better than i could have ever dreamed.
"i am a poor freezingly cold soul, so far from where i intended to go. Scavenging through life's very constant lows, so far from where i'm determined to go. Wish i knew the way to reach the one i like, there's no way. Wish i had the charm to attrack the one i like, but you see... i've got no charm. And you can tell, i have never really loved. You can tell, by the way, i sleep all day. And all of my life, no one gave me anything. My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye, you must be such A FOOL to pass me by." Well, it's actually nice that i apply to this song, bcoz i love it when Moz (someone i admire) feels just like i do ❤🌛Now i'm not that sad anymore 😁

“You must be such a fool to pass me by” when Morrissey stares into that camera and sings this is so awesome. So powerful yet so relatable.❤️
I don't know if I have ever heard a song be more brutally honest about what life can be like than this one. Sometimes there is beauty in pain.

I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where I'm determined to go
Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way ...
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But you see, I've got no charm
Mmm...
Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold
Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day
And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool
To pass me by
Not you as well?
Songs like this are why I love Morrissey. These lyrics resonate with me so deeply. Thank you Morrissey.
Greatest sad song ever. This was one song that makes me feel not alone when I'm very depressed...
That last line always gets me with the whole "you are the fool for not realizing the love I am willing to give, your loss" it's empowering, and relatable
+Jackson Bloom I so feel you man...
it's a sarcastic line, he doesn't mean it
DoctorMeatDic Thanks friend
majestic, heartbreaking, and perfect
Adam White just like me
@@allthatgirlcoronado 1 out of 3 isn't bad 😉
"I've got no charm." Says the most charming man alive.
But is said by so many men like me that have no charm.
You wouldn’t be saying that if he weren’t a famous singer.
what about me?
Bona Drag was a great album as was Kill Uncle and later on You are the Quarry and Years of Refusal; but for me, Your Arsenal is Morrissey's consummate masterpiece. It holds a special place in my heart and my soul. It was the first Morrissey album my awkward and insecure adolescent self ever bought.
Yess!
The first time I heard this song, the hair on my arms stood up. Only Morrissey could write such a lovely, but dark song. It’s my favorite song.
My life is a like a Morrissey song. A miserable life! Sad but beautiful.
this song is the refuge of the damned. and unfortunately i am the damned. This song is so accurate to my own life. I wish i lived a life where Morrissey could never play a part, but he does
Hang in there..... It's many peoples
Soundtrack....
+madforit2 Like pieces to a puzzle... the lyrics fit so well..
Nobody is damned or lost, ever. Enjoy the ride, the ups and downs, lows and highs.
Why do you wish you could live a life where Morrissey could never play a part?????
madforit2 we really are all just damned bastards aren’t we?
One of the most beautiful tracks ever written
I trip when I hear the atmosphere. I feel like a ghost, that's real music. The upright bass sound like thunders, guitars like downpour, keyboards cry loneliness, Morrissey is a great song writer.
The "I Know It's Over" of Morrissey's solo career
Wow yes
Bollocks. He'd fill Manchester Arena tomorrow.
Burton Rd Forever 1977 Uh, yeah? You totally misunderstood what I said. I meant this song was equivalent to I Know It’s Over, it terms of style, lyrics etc.
@@BurtonRdForever England sucks
In every single way, this song is absolutely perfect......💔
The lyrics on the song are so damn beautiful and haunting, and mix in the lovely guitars. One of my favorites.
+Lincoln Fleming TV Yes and the ambient sounds in the background makes it haunting too.
When this album came out I was experiencing a very special time in my life and will never forget.
Sometimes, while watching this video in full screen, I'll hold my laptop just close enough so it looks as though he is looking at me in conversation, simply singing his thoughts. It's wonderful.
Your comment+your picture made my night
DigitalOctaveLoL
Ha ha.
THIS IS AMAZING
violet bowie you just made me weep!! 😭😭😭
True story: I saw him perform, during the Maladjusted tour, in 1997, in Miami Beach. He looked right at me, and sang to me for about seven or so seconds. I mouthed the words: "I love you," repeatedly, several times.

Quite simply stunning, the melancholy charisma....breathtaking....
My friend and I saw him sing this live back in April and we fucking cried. So did the whole audience.
It shocked us all but his live performance just shakes you.
This man has informed my life for the past thirty years. May he inform it for another thirty...VIVA MORRISSEY!
He's informed mine for about 20 years. Viva Morrissey! 🍻🥰
It makes sense that some of us get drawn into the melancholy drift of Moz's art, is not a choice I realize now, so many years later, is a way of life, one that developed without choice.
Every part of this is painfully beautiful. His voice, the lyrics and of course Morrissey.
You beautful,😘
Wow. I've listened to this song for decades and never knew there was a video for it. 💜 Thanks for the upload.
Same here!! Especially because this is my favorite song.
I'm 37, decidely straight and love his music and esp. the Smiths. It sets a tone like no other.
There is a way I found in my life I did have the charm.....and became a father 7 days ago I remember the days of sitting back letting time pass wondering when and or where I would go for how far how long! I now feel I've become and one did not pass me by.....my wife! Morrisey is a Musical God as GOD I learned my emotions thru him and my friends sharing his music with me. GOD he is good.
This is the official soundtrack of my life..
im glad to say im about to be 16 and i have such good taste in music, wish every teenager listened to this instead of cardi b
This is (sadly) my life turned into a song...
"Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love, But you see, I've got no charm"
Damn...
this song made me so sad to the point where it motivated me to get up and do something cause life is short
If anyone were to ask me to play them a song that is beautifully sad and filled with longing, I would not hesitate at all to play them this song.
I will feel dearly sad if I ever lose the disconnection I have with this song and move on, but at the same time feel the love and appreciation I have for this song as well as many of the smiths and Morrissey's songs. But for i'm entwined with this song
Currently obsessed with this. Every line of this song describes my situation right now.
+Jo101214 you are on every smiths/moz songs.
+k Where else could I go?
"And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day"
Once again the man is telling my life in one of his songs...
His songs really make me feel better 'cause I know I'm not alone...
I love you Morrissey! Ur music is so meaningful and comes from the heart. One of my favourite artists ever!
Love the song love the video 💙 love morrissey since I 1984 🥰
A lot of people think that morrissey is depressing but the words of his songs are amazing, we can't all live a life behind fake happiness all the time, sometimes we have to face the hard times in life.
Scavenging through life's very constant lows... The title of my autobiography!
The Music Is So Dreamy...So Are The Lyrics...Ah, Morrissey's Voice Is So Dreamy...Been Listening To This Voice For Almost 30 yrs. Now :)
Can’t believe I have never heard this until today. What a gift for the first day of the new year!
Oh come on, tell me HOW I can't be in love with this man all my life? Those eyes... My truest love, Moz
I can't even describe how much I love this song or singer. had the pleasure of meeting him and Ang with him for a bit at his house, many years ago.
Reallyyyy???! Why did you hang out at his house??? And how did that go? Was it fun? Tell us everything :) xx
Damm lucky I only got to see him in concert but I seen him like 20 times every time he was in California I was there no matter what
I love you guys. You guys who quote the lyrics. Often when I listen to a Moz song I'll scroll down and read some comments and more than a few times I read the line just as he sings it. I smile every time :)
Gorgeous. The song and Moz.
The first time I heard this song was last night, yet I feel like I've known it all my life.
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye / you must be such a fool to pass me by. . .
Love those lyrics
Told this to a girl I adore an she didn’t get it. That’s cause she’s a fool 😢
How I See It Lol. Awww...
What a lyrical genius.
sooo damn handsome english man in this time and amazing lyrics
so deep, so real........i feel incredibly identified with the lyrics of this song in this part of my life.... i think that we all have felt like this song says
i salute you all fans of morrisey and the smiths!
Love this man. Then and now.
So far from where I intended to go . . .
Scavenging through life's various constant lulls,
So far from where I'm determined to go
Truly a song of deep emotion and always gives me the tendency to mouth out the lyrics.
This Song is so so Amazing! I have such an amazing bond with my brother because of Morrissey.
i like the mili-second of "we hate it when our friends become successful" hah. it reminds me of how very many times ive watched the dvd...this song is so beautiful. thank you morrissey, for everything.
So incredibly sad and beautiful! How it speaks my words for me: "My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye/You must be such a fool...to pass me by."
Sam, that one is for you.
bro you made this comment when i was 0.5 years old
A great song with a haunting melody that is sweet yet sickly. The lyrics are incomparably Morrissey. Just lovely!
A work of perfection.
This is why i love morrissey. Beacausebits why people hate him. Self pity, which is all of us. . But so beurifully put. X al
whether for the 1st or 100th time, listening to this song cuts deep.
wish I had the charm to attract the one I love...
Siempre me conmueves porque eres un ser de aquellos que parecen tener un halo de luz al cantar.EMI ARBO CESANELLI.▪☆☆☆☆.
Stunning song and visuals ala Irving Penn
Moz has the most beautiful lips ive ever seen :-) love this song loads
Kath Clarke XD Oh My God!! I'm always thinking that! Funny that someone else thinks so too...
You beautful 💘 Very beautful
love Morrissey- no matter what anyone says ❤
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love, but you see I've got no charm. That's it, that's my life.
This is what I listen to when i want to wallow in something miserable. Just listening to it makes me wistful.
I love you Morrissey, you freal helped me out in my teen years w you'r songs, now i feel the meanings of you'r lyrics as an adult, now that I need you the most you're music is here w me just wish I can hug you !!! Love you man!
So much truth in one song,
Someone very close to me shared this song with me, and I sang it for his birthday on my channel. This is truly and utterly without-a-doubt real music at it's best.
deeply touched
Could watch that face all day
❤
One of my best Morrissey songs, the music is beautiful, I'm not sure but it might be Mick ronson produced this track RIP Mick ronson 🌹🌹🌹
Such a beautiful deep soul is most difficult to encounter in this world... love you Morissey.
He is always the victim in everything, it's incredible... I think this is what I like about him, his sadness, his dramatization about everything in life... This is the way he found to live, or just to appear, I don't know... but I like it. I think he's not doing so much good music these days, but he was always very creative, especially with the Smiths. Long live to Morrissey.
beautiful perfection
This song never fails to give me goose bumps.
When I say I "feel the same", I mean that his words are the closest to my heart, to my mind. That's why I feel like he understands me, although I never knew him. It's just like he was telling me about myself.
“My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye. You must be such a fool to pass me bye.” Last words I said to the only person I ever loved.
Describes me perfectly. He says so much by saying so little.
God exactly how I'm feeling!Morrissey strikes again!
My Weight Loss Journey me too

Nostalgia at it's best ... Takes me to another place. 🌊🐚
It's so sad that so many people feel like this everyday....depression is a truly horrible illness. Love this song as I much.
get better my love, im so excited to see you in L.A.,,,this is so poetic, i love you morrissey
I'm hearing the first line as "Just another appalled freezing cold soul"
However comforting, there is no virtue in that.
To me this song is like a kick in the butt: get out of any rut you feel you are in, and do something with your life!
Damn I usually drink a cold beer & listen to this track when I'm down, #Mozforever
And you can tell by the way, I sleep allday.......
This is the song i've been trying to write all along but has constantly eluded me, Morrissey beat me to the punch and did better than i could have ever dreamed.
"i am a poor freezingly cold soul, so far from where i intended to go. Scavenging through life's very constant lows, so far from where i'm determined to go.

YOU MUST BE SUCH A FOOL TO PASS ME BY
Marcos Mastroianni I wouldn't pass u by
Really lovely of you to say that
Such an awesome song, I can listen to it everyday !
true. Being alone for ages!
You have certainly charmed me by quoting this wondrous song!!!!!!!
Morrissey manages to capture the feelings of many people. Its amazing.
beautiful
This describes with chilling and disturbing accuracy a few periods of my life; this is absolutely beautifully though.
these lyrics hit the spot for me,. me and morrissey belong together
oh moz ....this is my song..oh moz...so much to answer for..
Great song.
my love is as sharp as a needle in your eye,....
you must be such a fool to pass me by.....
Only Morrissey can make teen angst hip... Now everyone wants to be miserable.
