I recently lost my grandfather a few months ago. It's hard for me now to visit my grandparents' house since he will never be sitting at his spot on the couch again. It definitely isn't the same without him but given all the laughs and memories. I am forever grateful that he was in my life. Every time I listen to this song it opens up a time capsule of all the good and bad with my family.
My grandpa passed away a couple of days ago and I just visited his house. My family were really close and we’d always have lunch there, with my grandparents and everyone else. It’s no longer the same without him, I truly will never go back to the old house.
*"I would rather not go back to the old house."* this song for me is the peak of the smiths discography. morrissey is able to convey so much melancholic sorrow in such short lyrics that feel fleeting yet are still impactful. it's as if it was something someone said in a moment of passion without really thinking about the emotional consequences those words have until they finally set in at the very end of the song. *"I would love to go back to the old house, but i never will."*
In a way I think it's a message on how old houses don't have the cool new features new houses are required to have, says a lot about society when you think about (we live in one probably)
the most replayed part of the song is " and you never knew how much i really liked you cause i never even told you" im hoping everyone reading this cuts themselves some slack, you deserve it❤

this was me last year, i listend to it when times were tough. i look back now and i can listen to it without the harsh reminder of my darkest days. you’ll be fine, just keep on going
This is my favorite song by the smiths it conveys the bittersweet feeling that nostalgia for old places gives knowing you can never go back to the person you where back then
This song reminds me of this man who lives on my road across from me. Since i moved here he had a little caramel and white dog id always see him take outside or sit on his porch with. I only spoke to him a few times but i could always tell he was a sweet man. A few months ago his dog passed and i don't really see him go outside anymore, but i do see him sit in his doorway still, without his little dog watching the rain and the sun. breaks my heart.
"And you never knew , how much i really liked you .. because i never even told you, oh and i meant to." edit: everyone who liked my comment has an amazing taste in music and deserves all happiness in life
This year was the worst, in every way possible. Lost a lot. it was tough as hell. At the end of the year , I feel emotionally numb and do not know if it matters at all. Only with these kind of songs, I can remember how it felt before to have emotions and a sense of living. Every crowd that I be with these days, I can't relate or can't feel present. With family, friends, love interest etc. Literally do not know what to do anymore. How do you get back or remember your "self" ?
I had a relatively close feeling, after failing one necessary exam. You know what, despite all difficulties and concerns about specific situation, you have to keep moving, shit happens. I understood it, it helped me to recover from difficult period, everyone in this world go troughout the challanges and difficulties but they have different methods to recieve this.
I know this song is about love, but for me it is literally about a house. I've moved away so many times that sometimes I thought it was a good thing, but every new house I was like "I wish I stayed" or "I wish to go back", but I never will. So I guess it still is a love song for me in its own way
I can definitely relate you, even I had the same perspective in my mind while listening to this. Life felt so perfect in all the old places where I used to live and whenever I shift to a new place, the memories of my old house just feels nostalgic and makes me feel like I wanna go back there :(:
I also greatly miss them, God. Horrible love was so really strong, however misplaced to stumble down to here- now. Only a hint left when I daydream. It was so good.Ouch🌹🦎🥀 Erin.
Whatever anyone may think of Morrissey now, good or bad, whatever anybody think about how The Smiths split up, or why, we should still celebrate that they existed at all, and created some of the most unique, incredible music ever created. They were heavily influenced, and even more heavily influential, but never, ever replicated. No band ever even came close to this sound.
No band came/comes close to the incredible talent and technical expertise of the individual members, and the quality obtained when individual brilliance is correctly harnessed in mutual synergy.
Morrissey is an asshole to his band mates. You must have missed out on that opportunity. Playing music in a band that's real takes a mental toll on you and different opinions make people.envious. just saying.
@@kane00000 I really don't know what point you are making here, Kane, or if it is addressed to me. I don't think Morrissey was 'an asshole' to his bandmates at the time, actually, but yes, I missed out on the opportunity of being in a band with Morrissey, that is sadly true. I don't know if you're suggesting I'm envious, or other people are. I really don't follow what you're 'just saying'.
@@jam-nc8ut bands create conflict through creative differences. Morrissey comes off like a dick imo because he's smart and stressed from past, being gay at that time. Trauma. So he basically had a low tolerance for bulkshit since he went through so much. He probably was really fyckung cool to his mates but might of come off like a dick when he was just like.. fuck this shit. Just my assumption. I've never read any books by him but I love his music
It's so nice to have a song that those of who don't look back fondly on our childhoods or teenage years or have mixed feelings on it can relate to. Most songs about childhood or youth look at it nostalgically, but it is not a romantic, wonderful time for everyone
This song reminds me of my childhood. My parents recently got divorced. I want to go back to the old house, where they were still together, where I could imagine a happy family. But I also don't want to, it never really was happy, it could never be happy with them together
I listen to this song a lot because it reminds me of my best friend. I can never tell them out loud how important they are to me., but I love them so much. Just the thought of them can make my day. I want to spend the rest of my days with them, they are so wonderful.
This song brings back so many memories , one of those memories is when I would constantly deny my love for someone because I was too scared to fall in love again , a part of me wanted to believe that “love” was just a fantasy.. but part of me knew that “love” was real. I remember I would be so scared to tell people that I’m in love , but now I can finally say it with confidence..
God, you described exactly how I used to feel. I still get that “fear” sometimes. But it's nice to see that someone else once felt the same way and got over it, it keeps me going, thinking that one day I will too
I would’ve never thought i could relate to this song.. i’m from Artsakh and about 2 months ago me and 120k of my compatriots became refugees. I miss Artsakh so much i hope i can go back to my house.
Thank you for making such a master piece of a song. You don't understand how much I love and adore this song, I will forever listen to this til the day I vanish. Please never stop making music ever again, this song will forever hold a special place in my heart. XOXO
I grew up in a family of 9, 5 brothers, 1 sister, my parents and myself. The house got foreclosed when I was 17 and we had to move away. We struggled for a long time and got evicted out of multiple places. That old house we grew up in is still there and it’s FULL of good and bad memories. I do want to go back to the old house someday..
This song is perfect for when you fall in love with someone who you think will never love you back, and then later you've moved on and have someone else, only to realise they were in love with you too :((
@@mariajaine5430 I was best man at my friends wedding and I had finally gotten over the fact that I didn't just have a crush on him, I had loved him since kindergarten. We all got drunk and I confessed to him that I loved him all through school, he starting crying and told me he wanted to meet my boyfriend but also that he was also in love with me, we were both just too scared to say it because of all the homophobia :/
@@maxxie5500 Oh... I didn't know it was that type of history. Anyway, I don't know what I would do in that situation, I don't know... But, I would feel happy cause it has reciprocity
Such a beautiful song; I never really listened much to the Smith and Morrisey; actually only know the radio plays of them, but this song shows how great they were; I mean, listen to the guitar and how Morrisey curved around his poetry, and this great melody supported by a groovy bassline and just the right rhythm. Brilliant!
I dedicated this song to my pets that passed away, always gonna miss them. Anywhere they are now i hope they're okay. To the ones that i love: Xena, Salem, Fifito, Ruella... Thanks for eveerything.
I am going to regret so many things I'm doing, especially not doing, when I get older. I'll feel nostalgic, but not in a way I want all of this to happen again. In a way I'll feel loss, and grief, and I'll mourn for younger me's dreams that were wasted. I know all this but still do nothing different. I know I will stay the same, old me no matter how many small things about me change, it'll always be bitter
"And you never knew how much I really liked you because I never even told you, oh and I meant to" These lyrics are too relatable. I recently finished high school and looking back at the years now I took everything I had then for granted as I was too fixated on the future not realizing that living in the moment should've been the thing I cared about the most. Learn to live in the moment and cherish everything you have as you don't know what the future can uphold.
This song hits so hard man. I loved her so much and it was so painful to do it. When we'd talk for hours late into the night everyday even on school nights it was so amazing. She was perfect. She felt like the female version of me. I told her everything and she told me everything, we had inside jokes, she would make me laugh so hard my pillow would be soaked wet from tears. And all that seemingly lost overnight it felt. Suddenly our conversations got drier, she started getting mad at me for small things or things I didn't even do. She started talking shit about me and telling people my secrets. But this was the last straw. She and her friend have been telling me that my best friend was fake and openly saying how much he disliked me and was only friends with me because he felt bad. This stung because I'm so close with him. I tried ignoring him throughout the day but I just couldn't. I texted him about it and he told me they've been telling him the same thing. She's trying to split me and my friends up. I don't know what i did to be hated this much where she's trying to ruin my life. Is she bored? Did I do something? Last night she texted me and apologized saying that she's been upset lately as has been getting mad at everyone especially me. This shocked me because A: She never apologizes ever B: It came right after a long conversation with my sister about how i should just let her go and she texts me that right after. We talked a bit and called for a couple hours like we did before. It felt like old times but I knew it was wrong in the back of my mind. I've tried so hard to fall out of love with her. Words can't ever emphasize how hard I tried to stop thinking about how funny she is, how beautiful her eyes are, the way we'd talk, the way her accent comes out when she gets mad, how hard she would laugh at my jokes and after almost dying follow up with "shut up, you're not even funny" while still laughing, how she'd compliment me, not on purpose, she just said what was on her mind, how she'd listen to me rant about baseball and at least try to understand it, I could go on and on about all the little things I loved about her. Everyone's telling me I need to let her go but I don't think I ever will. I don't think I'll ever be as close with anybody again as I was with her. I really wonder if she knew how much I really liked her. I doubt it. Edit: A couple months ago I wrote a paragraph 7 times the size of this one talking about what has happened since this comment. I immeaditely deleted. Sometimes its better to leave things in the past. 6/20/2024
Damn, that was crazy and really sad. You should become a musician just to write a song about it. Words cannot explain the feelings I felt while reading your comment
I hope you find/found the love you deserve from not only the right person but from yourself as well. Takes a special person to be so vulnerable like this. To the ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves 🥂
i use to think id never love anyone as much as i loved this one guy, but then i did. i use to think id never get over him but i did. you have the strength to get over her and you will find someone even better, trust me God has your back
Back to the old house Lyrics: I would rather not go Back to the old house I would rather not go Back to the old house There's too many bad memories Too many memories there When you cycled by Here began all my dreams The saddest thing I've ever seen And you never knew How much I really liked you Because I never even told you Oh, and I meant to Are you still there or have you moved away? Or have you moved away? I would love to go Back to the old house But I never will I never will I never will
This gives me a sort of comfort after situations that take my happiness, but for everyone seeing this who doesn't know how to get happy and stay happy, my mother told me that you have to find happiness in the people around you if you aren't a happy person, but if you are and still can't find happiness, look for it in the people around you.
I met this wonderful guy online. After some time we liked each other and it was perfect. I felt great. He sent me this song, saying that it's one of his favorites. Then he ghosted me. I kept telling myself he is busy or doesn't have access to his phone but I painfully realized that he was ignoring me. I never understood why, everything seemed to be going well between us. Yet this happened and I can't comprehend why, I loved him, imagined meeting him, imagined us together. Now I feel helpless, heartbroken and useless 😢. This song is the epitome of my feelings. Masa, if you're reading this somehow, I liked you very much and I wished that you would reply but it seems like it's just a dream now. All the best...
The line is so childish, like a love for your football club or the playground you grew up on, irreplaceable and pure, untainted. And gives some happy, fulfilled feeling spreading from my core.
“When you cycled by, here began all my dreams.” Speaks to me on levels that I will never be able to explain in words. My childhood, my first love, etc.
i just lost my childhood house of 17 years (i was born a week before my granparents moved in) and i just cant believe it. i feel so dead and out of touch, we made the best memories there and i will forever cherish, miss and love the old house.
sorry, my English is terrible (especially in writing), but this song.. such a masterpiece, i can't just pass it by. this song reminds me of the girl i loved. she was one hundred percent suitable for me. we were fun teenagers, with lots of ambitions and plans for life, I loved her with all my heart and I thought it would always be like that. as time went on, we grew up, we became farther apart, but it could be overcome. she just decided that I was too complicated for her: our views kept diverging, we fought more and more, and then she started to ignore me and my words. No matter how hard I tried to keep our relationship: she wouldn't compromise. I know it happens a lot. facing this situation personally was a big pain in my life, and it was even more painful to watch her leave me in silence. it reminds me of water running down the drain. I'm still young, and I know that this is not the end of life or love. it's just that this song reminds me of a time in my life when even in the cold autumn, my chest was warm (P.S. I'm a girl, so if you're disgusted by it, just ignore it)

this song has me in complete shambles, it’s so good on a different level the lyricism the beat the melody the voice of the singer is all just so perfect it makes me cream oml it’s such an amazing beautiful song and makes me tear up each time i connect with it on a such an emotional physical mental and spiritual level words can’t even explain how much of an amazing well thought well produced well sung well made song this it’s just music to my ears makes me cry each time thank you for making this song.
i liked this girl that worked for my mom at her shop. i would see her in the weekends and everytime i’d go we would talk for a while and laugh together, we got along really well. she was one of the most beautiful girls i seen. i could tell she really liked me too. she eventually got another job. never saw her again and didn’t get her number or anything. never told her how much i really liked her. this song kills me
Ashamed to say I'd never really listened to this before, but it came on as I was playing Hatful of Hollow in the car and it literally blew me away with its beauty..such gorgeous semi-classical guitar and perfectly matched yearning nostalgic vocals
If you read this, I think of you when I hear this song, knowing you and knowing your interests, got me into The Smiths. I’m glad to have you in my life. You make me smile, you make me push myself harder for the better, I wish I could tell how much I like you and want to spent days and nights and hours with you. -Josie
This makes me think of my childhood living in Maine in the 90s I'm 31 now. Can't say the house I grew up in had bad memories but just the tone of this song makes me think of good times of care free innocence.
when my childhood best friend passed, i didn’t find out till a week later. when i got the call, i was listening to the smiths radio. after i hung up, this song played.
I refer the old house to my father. I lost him 3 years ago. The emotions in the old house is too much. The memories are good but the grief and sadness has a hold on me. I love this song.
This song slaps so hard man. I liked a girl 2 years ago. In the eyes of a teenager, she was perfect. Perfect in every way, and I started talking to her without any fear whatsoever. We became really good friends, and then I decided to tell her I like her and want to be more than friends with her. She rejected me in the most polite way possible, but it still broke my heart in a million pieces. I never felt like that in my whole life. For these 2 years, I've been through a lot, even found a girl that likes me back, but I think I will never be able to get over this girl, even though we never were really together. I still remember her ocassionally when I'm alone or such, because I thought she was the one. I hope to get over her someday.

There are lyrics that Morrissey wrote that everyone on earth can relate to. He is a gift to mankind.

I don't think Morrissey was 'an asshole' to his bandmates at the time, actually, but yes, I missed out on the opportunity of being in a band with Morrissey, that is sadly true. I don't know if you're suggesting I'm envious, or other people are. I really don't follow what you're 'just saying'.
@@jam-nc8ut bands create conflict through creative differences. Morrissey comes off like a dick imo because he's smart and stressed from past, being gay at that time. Trauma. So he basically had a low tolerance for bulkshit since he went through so much. He probably was really fyckung cool to his mates but might of come off like a dick when he was just like.. fuck this shit. Just my assumption. I've never read any books by him but I love his music

It's so nice to have a song that those of who don't look back fondly on our childhoods or teenage years or have mixed feelings on it can relate to. Most songs about childhood or youth look at it nostalgically, but it is not a romantic, wonderful time for everyone
"Are you still there or have you moved away?"
:(
It's a devastating lyric, and feeling.
😔
This song reminds me of my childhood. My parents recently got divorced. I want to go back to the old house, where they were still together, where I could imagine a happy family. But I also don't want to, it never really was happy, it could never be happy with them together
wow this song is a piece of art... that bass goes crazy
I listen to this song a lot because it reminds me of my best friend. I can never tell them out loud how important they are to me., but I love them so much. Just the thought of them can make my day. I want to spend the rest of my days with them, they are so wonderful.
Same.
This song always makes me cry.
I really miss my childhood but never want to go back..so much bad memories are mixed with nostalgia.
This song brings back so many memories , one of those memories is when I would constantly deny my love for someone because I was too scared to fall in love again , a part of me wanted to believe that “love” was just a fantasy.. but part of me knew that “love” was real. I remember I would be so scared to tell people that I’m in love , but now I can finally say it with confidence..
God, you described exactly how I used to feel. I still get that “fear” sometimes. But it's nice to see that someone else once felt the same way and got over it, it keeps me going, thinking that one day I will too
Funny how easily we can say it after they aren't around to hear it
Except last part everything is same... Still on that low confidence
I would’ve never thought i could relate to this song.. i’m from Artsakh and about 2 months ago me and 120k of my compatriots became refugees. I miss Artsakh so much i hope i can go back to my house.
I can't believe I've been in this world for 15 years and just recently discovered this masterpiece:(
real
Nostalgia about childhood years.Everyone missed the old house.Smiths forever...
I’m listening to this song repeatedly, and crying repeatedly.. back to the old house, i felt every single word!
Why am I crying so much because of a song! Makes me miss my late dad so much.
Thank you for making such a master piece of a song. You don't understand how much I love and adore this song, I will forever listen to this til the day I vanish. Please never stop making music ever again, this song will forever hold a special place in my heart. XOXO
One of those songs I'm both extremely grateful to have discovered, but also wish I'd never heard.
I grew up in a family of 9,
5 brothers, 1 sister, my parents and myself.
The house got foreclosed when I was 17 and we had to move away.
We struggled for a long time and got evicted out of multiple places.
That old house we grew up in is still there and it’s FULL of good and bad memories.
I do want to go back to the old house someday..
real. i miss my old house, i miss my childhood friends, neighbors, i miss those places... i want to go there someday
One of the best songs ever in my opinion
My favourite song by my favourite band
This song is perfect for when you fall in love with someone who you think will never love you back, and then later you've moved on and have someone else, only to realise they were in love with you too :((
U mean, the first one secretly loved u too? Must be... Really sad.
@@mariajaine5430 I was best man at my friends wedding and I had finally gotten over the fact that I didn't just have a crush on him, I had loved him since kindergarten. We all got drunk and I confessed to him that I loved him all through school, he starting crying and told me he wanted to meet my boyfriend but also that he was also in love with me, we were both just too scared to say it because of all the homophobia :/
@@maxxie5500 Oh... I didn't know it was that type of history. Anyway, I don't know what I would do in that situation, I don't know... But, I would feel happy cause it has reciprocity
@@mariajaine5430 Yeah,it's such a great song for all unrequited love😭
He literally never gonna know who much I really love him 💔
This music punches me in the face with the good ol' days.
Such a beautiful song; I never really listened much to the Smith and Morrisey; actually only know the radio plays of them, but this song shows how great they were; I mean, listen to the guitar and how Morrisey curved around his poetry, and this great melody supported by a groovy bassline and just the right rhythm. Brilliant!
I dedicated this song to my pets that passed away, always gonna miss them.
Anywhere they are now i hope they're okay.
To the ones that i love: Xena, Salem, Fifito, Ruella... Thanks for eveerything.
I am going to regret so many things I'm doing, especially not doing, when I get older. I'll feel nostalgic, but not in a way I want all of this to happen again. In a way I'll feel loss, and grief, and I'll mourn for younger me's dreams that were wasted. I know all this but still do nothing different. I know I will stay the same, old me no matter how many small things about me change, it'll always be bitter
This is exactly how i feel
Ur not alone
same bruh
c'mon man, don't give up on yourself
Has anything changed? I worry for younger me
"And you never knew how much I really liked you because I never even told you, oh and I meant to"
These lyrics are too relatable. I recently finished high school and looking back at the years now I took everything I had then for granted as I was too fixated on the future not realizing that living in the moment should've been the thing I cared about the most.
Learn to live in the moment and cherish everything you have as you don't know what the future can uphold.
it’s ok i promise you will like someone again and won’t take it for granted next time ❤️ everything is a lesson
This song hits so hard man. I loved her so much and it was so painful to do it. When we'd talk for hours late into the night everyday even on school nights it was so amazing. She was perfect. She felt like the female version of me. I told her everything and she told me everything, we had inside jokes, she would make me laugh so hard my pillow would be soaked wet from tears. And all that seemingly lost overnight it felt. Suddenly our conversations got drier, she started getting mad at me for small things or things I didn't even do. She started talking shit about me and telling people my secrets. But this was the last straw. She and her friend have been telling me that my best friend was fake and openly saying how much he disliked me and was only friends with me because he felt bad. This stung because I'm so close with him. I tried ignoring him throughout the day but I just couldn't. I texted him about it and he told me they've been telling him the same thing. She's trying to split me and my friends up. I don't know what i did to be hated this much where she's trying to ruin my life. Is she bored? Did I do something? Last night she texted me and apologized saying that she's been upset lately as has been getting mad at everyone especially me. This shocked me because A: She never apologizes ever B: It came right after a long conversation with my sister about how i should just let her go and she texts me that right after. We talked a bit and called for a couple hours like we did before. It felt like old times but I knew it was wrong in the back of my mind. I've tried so hard to fall out of love with her. Words can't ever emphasize how hard I tried to stop thinking about how funny she is, how beautiful her eyes are, the way we'd talk, the way her accent comes out when she gets mad, how hard she would laugh at my jokes and after almost dying follow up with "shut up, you're not even funny" while still laughing, how she'd compliment me, not on purpose, she just said what was on her mind, how she'd listen to me rant about baseball and at least try to understand it, I could go on and on about all the little things I loved about her. Everyone's telling me I need to let her go but I don't think I ever will. I don't think I'll ever be as close with anybody again as I was with her. I really wonder if she knew how much I really liked her. I doubt it.
Edit: A couple months ago I wrote a paragraph 7 times the size of this one talking about what has happened since this comment. I immeaditely deleted. Sometimes its better to leave things in the past. 6/20/2024
Damn, that was crazy and really sad. You should become a musician just to write a song about it. Words cannot explain the feelings I felt while reading your comment
I hope you feel better soon. I don't have anything meaningful to add, but I feel you, man.
I hope you find/found the love you deserve from not only the right person but from yourself as well. Takes a special person to be so vulnerable like this. To the ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves 🥂
i use to think id never love anyone as much as i loved this one guy, but then i did. i use to think id never get over him but i did. you have the strength to get over her and you will find someone even better, trust me God has your back
Back to the old house
Lyrics:
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many bad memories
Too many memories there
When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to
Are you still there or have you moved away?
Or have you moved away?
I would love to go
Back to the old house
But I never will
I never will
I never will
Obg

@@elmo7608 at the time i posted there was no lyrics...
tysm i always appreciate people who put the lyrics
always one of those corny mf's who has the lyrics in the comment section
"And you never knew , how much i really liked you .. because i never even told you, oh and i meant to."
bro.. i feel that...
“When you cycled by, here began all my dreams” felt that
This gives me a sort of comfort after situations that take my happiness, but for everyone seeing this who doesn't know how to get happy and stay happy, my mother told me that you have to find happiness in the people around you if you aren't a happy person, but if you are and still can't find happiness, look for it in the people around you.
I met this wonderful guy online. After some time we liked each other and it was perfect. I felt great. He sent me this song, saying that it's one of his favorites.
Then he ghosted me. I kept telling myself he is busy or doesn't have access to his phone but I painfully realized that he was ignoring me.
I never understood why, everything seemed to be going well between us. Yet this happened and I can't comprehend why, I loved him, imagined meeting him, imagined us together.
Now I feel helpless, heartbroken and useless 😢. This song is the epitome of my feelings.
Masa, if you're reading this somehow, I liked you very much and I wished that you would reply but it seems like it's just a dream now. All the best...
This song is just beautiful! Marrvellous!
When you cycled by here began all my dreams
I always thought it said : "When you cycled by in the beginning of all my dreams"
The line is so childish, like a love for your football club or the playground you grew up on, irreplaceable and pure, untainted. And gives some happy, fulfilled feeling spreading from my core.
@@TrenerJanBR when you cycled by, it began all my dreams
@Juan Perez 🤷 who cares?
“When you cycled by, here began all my dreams.” Speaks to me on levels that I will never be able to explain in words. My childhood, my first love, etc.
i just lost my childhood house of 17 years (i was born a week before my granparents moved in) and i just cant believe it. i feel so dead and out of touch, we made the best memories there and i will forever cherish, miss and love the old house.
How great this song is, the feeling and the crying never ends. I want to go back to the old house
my favourite the smiths song ever it’s so beautifully written
The Smiths, my favorite band from the 80's and even today..🤗💓
Are you alive?
@@m7065 *A think so, for now..😂*
My favorite band from the 80s is now dead.
its like lightning in a bottle
sorry, my English is terrible (especially in writing), but this song.. such a masterpiece, i can't just pass it by.
this song reminds me of the girl i loved. she was one hundred percent suitable for me. we were fun teenagers, with lots of ambitions and plans for life, I loved her with all my heart and I thought it would always be like that. as time went on, we grew up, we became farther apart, but it could be overcome. she just decided that I was too complicated for her: our views kept diverging, we fought more and more, and then she started to ignore me and my words. No matter how hard I tried to keep our relationship: she wouldn't compromise. I know it happens a lot. facing this situation personally was a big pain in my life, and it was even more painful to watch her leave me in silence. it reminds me of water running down the drain. I'm still young, and I know that this is not the end of life or love. it's just that this song reminds me of a time in my life when even in the cold autumn, my chest was warm (P.S. I'm a girl, so if you're disgusted by it, just ignore it)
your english is not as bad as you think it is. as a native speaker i can understand everything you wrote though i do see some mistakes there’s only like 4 :)
@@evilnefariousalien oh, i am very touched! i have never interacted with native speakers and i am very pleased that you replied to my comment! i will try to improve my skills :)
@@yaneiisus Yeah your English is definitely not that bad. very readable albeit not native. And I'm sorry you lost her. I hope you'll find someone else who ends up working out.
Beautiful, Johnny’s guitar playing, a delicacy.
true story, relatable. "I never even told you, oh and I meant to"...
i grew up with the smiths, the cure, new order, interpol, and more. whenever i hear them now i think of my dad and the late night drives we take :))
thats so adorable.
No one cares.
@@clvrswine you do bc you replied.
@@clvrswine you mad ahhh 😮😮😮
ClvrSwine is there a reason why swine is in your name? Be kind
This song makes me think of a relationship I was in years ago. The “old house” is the girl that I loved.
Yes, this song isn’t just referring to “an old house” but a time, place, moment. So deep & beautiful!

Same bro same. 😢
this song has me in complete shambles, it’s so good on a different level the lyricism the beat the melody the voice of the singer is all just so perfect it makes me cream oml it’s such an amazing beautiful song and makes me tear up each time i connect with it on a such an emotional physical mental and spiritual level words can’t even explain how much of an amazing well thought well produced well sung well made song this it’s just music to my ears makes me cry each time thank you for making this song.
it maes you cream ha atheic. it makes ME squiert beat tat.
My heart breaks. I know this feeling. Never going back again.
i liked this girl that worked for my mom at her shop. i would see her in the weekends and everytime i’d go we would talk for a while and laugh together, we got along really well. she was one of the most beautiful girls i seen. i could tell she really liked me too. she eventually got another job. never saw her again and didn’t get her number or anything. never told her how much i really liked her. this song kills me
That is so sweet. Love is such a complicated thing when it doesn't have to be which is so draining...❤
You should def try and find a way to talk to her again
Ashamed to say I'd never really listened to this before, but it came on as I was playing Hatful of Hollow in the car and it literally blew me away with its beauty..such gorgeous semi-classical guitar and perfectly matched yearning nostalgic vocals
Man both this one and the acoustic version are incredible.
If you read this, I think of you when I hear this song, knowing you and knowing your interests, got me into The Smiths. I’m glad to have you in my life. You make me smile, you make me push myself harder for the better, I wish I could tell how much I like you and want to spent days and nights and hours with you.
-Josie
Beautiful words,and music.You can't go home again.
A very striking song for me. Relatable and nostalgic. Thank you.
no one will ever know. to talk but never be heard. to be seen but never sought.
Depression is present, it’s just not visible.
Morrissey was an excellent lyricist. This song just proves how well read he is. I love his works.
This makes me think of my childhood living in Maine in the 90s I'm 31 now. Can't say the house I grew up in had bad memories but just the tone of this song makes me think of good times of care free innocence.
Man i fumbled she really the one that got away this reminds me of her😫
when my childhood best friend passed, i didn’t find out till a week later. when i got the call, i was listening to the smiths radio. after i hung up, this song played.
May his soul rest
I refer the old house to my father. I lost him 3 years ago. The emotions in the old house is too much. The memories are good but the grief and sadness has a hold on me. I love this song.
1:19 will repeat in my heart. over and over
Man I love this song.
I’m ugly crying whenever I hear this song
honestly real
Me
This song slaps so hard man. I liked a girl 2 years ago. In the eyes of a teenager, she was perfect. Perfect in every way, and I started talking to her without any fear whatsoever. We became really good friends, and then I decided to tell her I like her and want to be more than friends with her. She rejected me in the most polite way possible, but it still broke my heart in a million pieces. I never felt like that in my whole life. For these 2 years, I've been through a lot, even found a girl that likes me back, but I think I will never be able to get over this girl, even though we never were really together. I still remember her ocassionally when I'm alone or such, because I thought she was the one. I hope to get over her someday.
The voice of my late 80's. Smiths, depeche mode etc.....what a time!
i miss him so much.
sobbing relentlessly on the ground while listening to this ❤
Normally after listening to a song for a while it doesn’t hit you like THAT anymore but this hits me everytime, everyday and everywhere.
Just listening to this when sad hits me different
