How great to see a dad share Morrissey with his daughter. This song of course from the Viva Hate album. As a Smiths fan I held my breath the first time I listened to Morrissey’s solo album. I always wanted the Smiths to stay together but Morrissey obviously had a lot to say on his own and still does. Props to mom for loving this and for dad and daughter for giving it a chance. Music, great music heals our spirits and warms are hearts.
Nothing better to have the opportunity to share Smiths and Mozz with your children..Two of my 3 I still share with today ..In the 90's the Kill Uncle tour in Ca. shared three with my oldest daughter..Including the one @ LA Pauly Pav. when fans rushed the stage and Nov. Spawned a Monster was cut off and we had to leave..Those are life long treasures that will always stay close in your heart..Today, we play YT videos on a HUGE wall size screen and listen, cry, laugh, drink and act goofy pretty much simultaneously..Amazing times!! Love to all.
What's not to like man?!... Morrissey has a very soothing voice and this is quite a catchy song. The strings, the bass line and of course Morrissey's voice.
Love Morrissey and The Smiths I’ve never stopped listening them nobody made music like Morrissey and Marr only The Cure came close how about giving The Cure a go A Forest would be a good start
I always thought these guys were a bit like the Smith's. A little heavier but also very good. m.th-cam.com/video/V-M9PNupZKU/w-d-xo.html m.th-cam.com/video/3QOBOss-nEU/w-d-xo.html m.th-cam.com/video/6N5wLZNEl_Q/w-d-xo.html m.th-cam.com/video/E9GuSAyQ0VI/w-d-xo.html m.th-cam.com/video/_tzoFIgNtQE/w-d-xo.html

I love NOVEMBER SPAWNED ... and just about every other Morrissey song. Then I love even more Smiths songs because the Smiths had Johnny Marr as a guitarist. Smiths are without a doubt my favorite band.
If you grew up in the 80's The Smiths, Depeche Mode and The Cure are the greatest bands of all time. They are the 80's version of The Stones, The Beatles and Pink Floyd.
@@idontwant2beasoldiermama241 That was the point. Those bands are as important to my generation in the 80's as those previous bands are to the baby boomers and are only starting to get appreciated for that now. Both The Cure and Depeche Mode are now in the Rock and Roll hall if fame as The Smiths should be also.
Suedehead was a cultural brit gang of the early 1970's well dressed crombie coats, tonic trouser's, loafers brogues or zig zag shoes and haircut about 1 inch long.
This was Morrissey's debut solo single, released in the spring of 1988. You might like to react to the video for his 3rd release, Last Of The Famous International Playboys.
I love this song. I was a massive Smiths fan in my early 20s and then a massive Morrissey fan too. Very impressed that the Father knew so much info about the band and Morrissey and even James Dean considering he said he wasn't that much of a fan. Your wife and daughter have great taste, and good to see your appreciation too. The song itself is one of Morrissey's best in my opinion, even though it's short on lyrics, it seems to have that Johnny Marr quality of guitar, even though he wasn't playing. Not sure if you and your wife are fans, but I would also recommend another Manchester band in the Stone Roses. I'm from the North West of England (same as Morrissey) and we have some of the best music of that period in my opinion.
There is a documentary on Netflix called "England is Mine" which chronicles Morrissey's early days prior to joining The Smiths.......and his friendship with Billy Duffy (The Cult), well worth the watch if you haven't seen it.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Morrissey's new material is brilliant as well.....the album "Years of Refusal" is particularly brilliant.....check it out 😉👌🏻👍🏻
@@erin.v.m657 absolutely 😉😊 been a fan for many many years.....I have just started reading his Autobiography (I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment 😊)
@@hullaballoo11 ...we certainly do. And you will love his book. The lawsuit issue drags a bit...but it's Morrissey. He is long winded and we love it. Enjoy !
I heard this song countless times on the radio before really digging in and listening to it. I love it now, but man, I ignored it for a long time. The diversity of music on this channel is great!
@@piglord7785 When I first heard this song it was way back before things like Pandora and Spotify. I usually listened to alt/indie stations. I really remember this song from an indie station back in the late 90s, but I can't remember the name. Now everything I listen to is from Pandora.
The Poet Laureate of Passion and Pain. That is the genius of Morrissey! The Smiths and Morrissey are possibly one of the greatest alternative bands to come out of the UK. Endless masterpieces from both!
I'd been watching reactions to metal & am so glad to see one to my other favs of music. Not a fav song or album of his but appreciate her giving him a listen. Last saw him in the fall & he still sounds as perfect as all of his recordings. Give "Jim Jim Falls" from his new album a go. I never thought he'd make me want to dance!
The little boy carrying the book to Morrissey at the beginning of the video is his nephew Sam Esty Rayner. Sam is a photographer and travels and works with Morrissey- I think.
I think it's great that you and your wife remember the awesome music that was 🔥 when you were younger. I know I'll never forget the best era for coming of age.
You played suedehead and mentioned the band Suede. Epic. Thank you for having great taste. Try November spawned a monster. And the videos have a good story behind them.
As an introvert… the Smiths and Morrissey speak to me a LOT. I knew Morrissey for a while now but i gotta thank this one girl i hung out with a lot in 2018, who introduced me to the Smiths and made me discover so many gems. Those songs now always make me think of her all the time…
I love this music being from the UK and being middle aged now and having enjoyed this music in my youth.. I think it's so cool and I always want to play this music to my younger family members and other younger friends, but I'm always conscious that my idea of cool is probably far from what younger people believe to be cool nowadays... One of my fave music genres is Northern Soul a very British cult thing which had it's roots in the more obscure and rare label US soul music of the 60's and 70's albeit a decade behind... and I still listen and dance to this music today... but try and get younger people now to understand the passion for the music and they don't quite understand... like most things you had to be there at the time to truly appreciate it
This was Morrissey's first single after the break up of the Smiths. Tremendous single! When you get a chance listen to Kasabian---Club Foot and L.S.F. to start with---cheers for the channel!
someone is appreciating the genius of Morrisey, i was fortunate to see him perform once and that was at the Opryhouse in Nashville (a small and intimate venue, perfect for the music)
awww Paulie is adorable, looks like one my cats. Morrissey was actually the last concert I saw a few months ago. this song brings back high school memories..holy shit, I am getting old...LOL. Every day is like Sunday is a cool song as well ;)
So refreshing to see young people being introduced to Morrissey and The Smith’s music. Lyrically and Musically it really is an education. When most students study in Manchester they never leave. It must be something in the water.
I love Smiths and Morrissey. And for me was a great experience discover them on 90´s. For sure they have some influence molding my personality. I think if the teens nowadays will have the same relationship with music that we, olders ;-) have. Because 80´s and 90´s was different on listening to music... just a thought
When I was a teenager, me and my younger brother, two years my junior, have a bit of a different music preference. I was more into rock and metal and him more into new wave. As I matured, I'm now into my 40's, I actually like listening to the songs he was listening to then.
Exciting that you're lovin' it. I've been absolutely loving Mozz and Smiths since later 80's..More to be revealed..Dive in for the best musical experience ever!!! Late Night on Maudlin Street , Alsation Cousin, and " London" by Smiths..And yes! get those recommendations from your wife. PS. You and your daughter are too cute together sharing this experience..
Dude you are a legend. Watching you is like being me 13 years ago when my daughter was the age of yours, and I was brainwashing...er...sorry, introducing her to diverse, good music. I have to say her pals often stopped by my study to ask what I was playing. She secretly loved that hahaha- nice videos.
The cat is clearly a Mozza fan and vice versa. Its also blatantly clear to see from his clumsy attempts to get that tractor moving that he never learned to drive. Sending love to you both from Manchester UK, the home of Mozza and the Smiths and so many other great bands and artists.
I was a big fan of The Smiths when they split up, but completely underestimated how important and talented Johnny Marr was. Moz has always been a brilliant lyricist with an amazing voice, and Johnny complemented it perfectly. I would almost say that the worst Smiths song is better than the best Morrissey-solo song... it's not, but almost. I also think Morrissey was a better songwriter when he was with The Smiths because he was younger and had more angst... then he became bitter and not nearly as funny. There was something hilarious to me about Morrissey's superficially depressing lyrics over Johnny's happy guitar playing.... but since then, the depressing lyrics stop being ironic and just became sad. Morrissey + Marr = legends
Also Morrissey was obsessed with James Dean, he's written books about him and his room was devoted to the actor with endless posters etc. You have to listen to There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, arguably the Smiths most profound song.
Does Annie like Reggae? Were UB40 big in America? Some of their best songs are, Red Red Wine, Homely Girl, Many Rivers to Cross, One in Ten, Rat in Mi Kitchen, (I can't help) Falling In Love With You (Elvis cover)
When I first heard the smiths I was into a lot of heavy and dark metal and was “what’s this happy go lucky shit” as the music was very poppy and up beat....then I heard the lyrics and was “this guys if messed up” ....lol now this is my favorite band and I adore Johnny marr’s awesome guitar playing ...this opened me up to a lot more different genres ....also the first song you should expose some one to the Smiths has to be there is a light that never goes out
I haven´t heard that song for decades..totally forgotten how nice it is... I´m not so into the Smiths/Morrissey usually but I love "Bigmouth strikes again"
Smith's Lit up my dreary winter evenings after work. Love Mozza's work and As the lady on here comments, 'song to the siren' by This mortal Coil is a wonderful song to close your eyes and 'lose your self' for a few minutes. Just Beautiful.
Not sure he's figured out that he's listening to a song about a breakup that repeatedly ends with "It was a good lay" while his teenage daughter is right there. Back in the day we used to write that in the dust on cars.
Wow, that was way out in left field. I used to listen to this song and always loved the video. You can see that Morrissey idolized James Dean to have gone all the way to Fairmount to shoot this.
It's an homage to Dean, a man Morrissey obviously adored and identified with. He wrote a biography of Dean as a younger man I believe. They were both closeted homosexuals (at the time Morrissey claimed to be asexual). Great choice for a solo Morrissey song, definitely my favourite of his.
It's funny how much you liked this song after not liking it so much before, because that was also my experience with Morrissey. In fact, I absolutely HATED Morrissey when I first heard it (November Spawned a Monster). But a dude in my barracks bay in AIT (Army training to learn your job specialty) in '92 absolutely loved Morrissey and played it all the time. Eventually i went from hate, to singing along, to buying Morrissey CDs. And I'm more of a 90's Rock kind of guy, but I also listen to a lot of Morrissey, even now. I came home from AIT singing Every Day is Like Sunday all over the house, lol.

The town Morrisssey visits is James Deans home town and The Dean family farm.
Thank you- I wondered about all that...love that video
Fairmount, Indiana. It's the Winslow family farm. Cousins of Dean.
First Comment and finally Morrissey, the Smiths were the best but then I grew up in England 🏴!!!!!!
Lol, well my wife grew up in Colorado and Texas and she and a friend of mine, absolutely LOVE them, this one really got me too, loved it.
This makes me think of the song by Morrissey interlude he does this one version with Susie from Siouxsie and the Banshees which is really awesome.

The song is about James Dean. Its why the video was filmed in Fairmont, Indiana, his home town.

Where would you get that Rick Ashley jumper from...and why would you wear it!?
The song was originally going to called Good Lay but they knew it would never get radio play so they made up a word that sounded like it. Suedehead
I could never sit there with a teenaged daughter when it got to the "It was a good lay" part. Very awkward.
Also Morrissey was obsessed with James Dean, he's written books about him and his room was devoted to the actor with endless posters etc.
You have to listen to There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, arguably the Smiths most profound song.

Not sure he's figured out that he's listening to a song about a breakup that repeatedly ends with "It was a good lay" while his teenage daughter is right there. Back in the day we used to write that in the dust on cars.
You’ve got everything now by the smiths is a must. Has to be the Hatful Of Hollow version though
The kid doesn't give a shit it's hilarious!!!!!😂😂😂😂
Wow, that was way out in left field. I used to listen to this song and always loved the video. You can see that Morrissey idolized James Dean to have gone all the way to Fairmount to shoot this.
My first comment as well.. Great song! It sounds like the mom and myself have a lot of the same tastes!
I remember first listening The Smiths in 4th grade and I’m in 8th grade now and I still love The Smiths to this day.
I would like to see it in another way. she chooses a song to see your reaction.
I'm curious.
One of my favorite songs!!!!
Good parents! Keep that timeless music alive for the future generations!
Tell your wife to listen to the Only Three Lads podcast. It’s like sports talk for classic alternative music. We countdown our list and discuss music

Good video, saw a Smiths tribute band at 14 and saw Moz live at 16. 👍
It's an homage to Dean, a man Morrissey obviously adored and identified with. He wrote a biography of Dean as a younger man I believe. They were both closeted homosexuals (at the time Morrissey claimed to be asexual). Great choice for a solo Morrissey song, definitely my favourite of his.
It's funny how much you liked this song after not liking it so much before, because that was also my experience with Morrissey. In fact, I absolutely HATED Morrissey when I first heard it (November Spawned a Monster). But a dude in my barracks bay in AIT (Army training to learn your job specialty) in '92 absolutely loved Morrissey and played it all the time. Eventually i went from hate, to singing along, to buying Morrissey CDs. And I'm more of a 90's Rock kind of guy, but I also listen to a lot of Morrissey, even now. I came home from AIT singing Every Day is Like Sunday all over the house, lol.
Viva Hate , Your Arsenal, Vauxhall and I, Southpaw Grammar ....great albums
I loved going to there. I was a big smiths Morrissey fan.
I listen to Morrissey everyday. Fan Since 1991.
I’m 17 and I’ve been obsessed with the smiths since about 13 Spotify acc sent me a notification saying I’m in the top 1% of all smiths listeners
Where did you score that sweet “Rick and Roll” shirt?
Always loved this one.
In Ant-Man and The Wasp Luis tells how his mom had a Jukebox that only featured Morrissey's songs... Just saying, Moms love him.
