"Bigmouth Strikes Again" was the hit single from that album. "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" was the deep track vibe song that was released as a single to promote a compilation album some years later in 1992. The synth flourishes on this song do evoke the late eighties sound of The Cure somewhat, but the two bands were more or less contemporaries. When you're ready for more from The Smiths, also check out some of these tunes -- "Bigmouth Strikes Again", "How Soon Is Now", "What Difference Does It Make", "This Charming Man", "This Night Has Opened My Eyes", and "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want".
The Smiths are not everyone's cup of tea; however, they're in my top 3 bands of all time. Their witty lyrics and melancholy vocals were the perfect release to get me through some tough times. I'll always love their music. Thank you for your reaction!!!
The Smiths, The Cure and Depeche Mode provided a soundtrack for those mid-teen years when you feel that nobody understands you and life is meaningless. My heart goes out to the victims of the latest school crisis and their families. Sometimes I think that this dark music helped a lot of us through those years. You felt like there was a community that understood you. It had a cathartic healing effect. Smiths to check out: "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore", "How Soon Is Now", "Rubber Ring"
Smith's suggestions: "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before," "This Charming Man," "How Soon Is Now," "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore," "Panic," "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me," "Bigmouth Strikes Again," ... So many, but this is a great starter set.
Well put..but also, Morrissey mastered sardonicism. When you get our self deprecating British humour, you love it, when you don't, well, there's an awful lot of our stuff wasted over the pond.
Morrissey, the lead singer, is channeling the feelings of a teenager who is unhappy with his homelife, wants to be free, and using exaggerated language like teenagers do....he has a flair for cheeky fun lyrics. The smiths, and Morrissey as a solo artist have a lot of great songs that bring me back to the angst of being an isolated introverted teenager who feels trapped and wants to be free.
Angela- You are doing a terrific job with your reactions.I would love for you to do a reaction to he song “Pieces of Dreams” by Johnny Mathis . The Live version from the Tonight show.He was Barbra Streisand’s favorite singer when she was younger.She has said of him:”There are good singers ;Thereafe a small handful of truly great singers;and then there is Johnny Mathis”.He is the third best -selling recording artist of the past century behind Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.This is a phenomenal performance by Johnny.A MustSee !! I am sure you will enjoy it.He received two standing ovations that night .Please react to it. You will be so thrilled you did .This performance is simply spectacular !!
I’ve loved this song and The Smiths since I was a teenager. You reacted they way I thought you would. “This Charming Man” is one of my favorite Smiths songs.
One of my favorite songs in the world. I connected to it in the early 90's. The Smiths did a song in 1987 called "Paint A Vulgar Picture". It's waiting . . . Along with "Everyday is Like Sunday".
I recommend you listen to his song as a soloist: MORRISSEY - EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY. His songs may not be about sweet love but they are worth it because he tells you about life itself and how sometimes it traps us in the dilemmas of survival. Great channel. Greetings and blessings.
Ok Here's The best songs to introduce yourself to The Smiths. What Difference Does It Make? Big Mouth Strikes Again Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others Sweet And Tender Hooligan Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
@@David54W fair one, I’m not a fan of fat boy slim but I wouldn’t post saying he’s a shit DJ Just not my cup of tea Think Moz has does very well for himself though in your eyes he’s a rotten lyricist.
Not everyone has the sensibility for The Smiths. This is one of the most perfect pop songs ever written. I applaud you for at least making the effort.
This song was released in 1986 on the album Queen is Dead and not 1992.
1986 was the first release of this album.

Morrissey is why I started listening to The Smiths, Marr why I occasionally still do.

If one has trouble detecting sarcasm, self-aware melodrama, and/or camp, appreciation of Morrissey’s work may be elusive.

One of my favorite Smiths songs. I feel that when it comes to The Smiths, everyone has their own favorites. Kind of a strange phenomena.
One of the most beautiful songs ever!
Actually, this was released in 1986, sugar. I 've written a funny version for it when I was sixteen. In portuguese.
In Portuguese?!?!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great album! Give it a listen from beginning to end.
This song is like a dark version of Romeo and Juliet.

Maybe "How Soon is Now" would have been a better introduction to The Smiths.
I'm sure there are others but I'm drawing a blank at this moment
Big mouth strikes again or This charming man perhaps
First timing hearing yeah it's an ok song .... hear it five or six times and then you think wow this is absolutely fantastic

Smiths are a very special kind of a band lyrically and musically..Johnny Marr guitar playing is superb in itself.
This charming man and Big mouth strikes again by the Smiths
I’ve loved this song and The Smiths since I was a teenager. You reacted they way I thought you would. “This Charming Man” is one of my favorite Smiths songs.
Morissy seems to sing in that same "ohm" frequency as Lana Del-rey
"Morrissey - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (live in Manchester) 2005 [HD]"...Love listening to this song and watching how they end the concert.
One of my favorite songs in the world. I connected to it in the early 90's. The Smiths did a song in 1987 called "Paint A Vulgar Picture". It's waiting . . . Along with "Everyday is Like Sunday".
Maybe check out ASK or THE BOY WITH A THORN IN HIS SIDE.
i loved this song so much! i used to listen to this album like crazy!!!!!!!!!! Sarcasm at its best!!! it's such a beautiful song!
yes are more of the smith songs and also Morrisey solo songs
I recommend you listen to his song as a soloist: MORRISSEY - EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY. His songs may not be about sweet love but they are worth it because he tells you about life itself and how sometimes it traps us in the dilemmas of survival. Great channel. Greetings and blessings.
Melancholy, hot chocolate and a cool rainy day. Time to put this one on...
“Cemetery gates” by smiths would be a great tune to review
“This night has opened my eyes” by smiths is chill jazzy tune
lol... love this!
This song came out in 1986
Try Heaven knows I'm miserable now, and This Charming Man, or I don't owe you anything, Half a Person, This Night has opened my eyes.
girlfriend in a comma a good the smith song
Morrisy is a total bellend,but Smiths are musical legends!🏴
Somehow they got overlooked, mostly. But their dedicated fans are rabid for them. There is a good reason for that.
That songs dates back to 1986, it's off the "The queen is dead" album. You can also listen to the song called "Is it really so strange"
It reminds you of the Cure because it's Gothy sounding.
More smiths please
If ever there was a Smiths love song, this was it.
Checkout the song Suedhead? You will enjoy it, its very popular.
Try listening to "The first of the Gang to die" no 10 ton trucks in that one btw 😏
Suede Saturday Night??
It seems most Americans struggle to grasp The Smiths, which is pretty much the point of them.
Lovely Angela. I was not much of a Smiths fan although there were a few songs of theirs that I liked. The best thing about the Smiths was Johnny Marr.
Ok Here's The best songs to introduce yourself to The Smiths.
What Difference Does It Make?
Big Mouth Strikes Again
Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
Sweet And Tender Hooligan
Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
The smiths ❤❤❤
Try the Cure again. Pictures of You, Why Can't I Be You or The Lovecats might be good for you to check out.
How soon is now?
Suede??
React to the Smiths Girlfriend in a Coma
Dum Dum Girls
the smiths not really a band for normal people more the quiet introverted sensitive odd people like me🤣🤣
This was an ok song????
Though I like some of their output think Morrisey is a rotten lyricist.
Ah this would be first dumb comment of the day I’ve read on TH-cam. Congratulations 🎉
@@alexsteadman8013 Like the music just not keen on the school boy lyrics. The music is the important thing the words don’t really matter.
@@David54W fair one, I’m not a fan of fat boy slim but I wouldn’t post saying he’s a shit DJ
Just not my cup of tea
Think Moz has does very well for himself though in your eyes he’s a rotten lyricist.
Try the Las full album. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
Yes where did 1992 come from Day One???
Song is from 86 NOT 92!
I'm with you there Angela I've never heard of them before either
