    My favourite band ever. I’m 20 right now and I can’t imagine I’ll ever stop listening to the smiths. Every song, every element of their music, I love it.

    "There is a light that never goes out" is the best song ever written in the history of popular music here on Earth or any other planet in the known solar system and beyond. Probably in the multiverse too unless another The Smiths from one of those parallel universes managed to pull off something slightly better than that, which is unlikely but maybe possible.
    Jokes aside, for a band who never wrote a bad song, this type of list is simply impossible to make: Well I wonder, the boy with the thorn, Last night I dreamt.., I won't share you, wonderful woman, Half a person,.... the list is very very long.

    I’m deeply in love with “stretch out and wait” , this song is so underrated
    Btw, “there is a light that never goes out” is a song that proves that Morrisey is a genius, because lyrics are extremely simple and full of deep sense at the same time.

    I know this isn't one of their most popular songs but Well I Wonder is amazing. Lyrically it's beautiful and combined with a melancholy guitar, it's perfect. Their best song in my opinion.

  • @YosifYordanov
    @YosifYordanov 8 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I am pretty sure that "Panic" is about the aftermath of Chernobyl disaster. I remember reading about it somewhere. In short The Smiths were perplexed how the news on the radio could report about the tragedy. And after the regular programming resumed the DJ played the newest pop songs as if nothing significant had just been reported. The verse "Panic on the streets of London..." refers to the fear that gripped most people when they heard about the disaster, while the DJ is playing music that isn't fitting the mood.

    Literally EVERY SONG The Smiths sing are awesome! I was very privileged to see The Smiths in the 80's in Houston at the University of Houstons Cullen Auditorium. It was a small venue and the best concert I've ever been to and I've been to a lot of amazing concerts like Pink Floyd, Bowie, INXS The Cure and many others. The Smiths topped all of them!

    This story is weird, I'm colombian, I was born this century, my father is chilean and he loves the Smiths. He used to play their songs in the car's pickup. God! my childhood. I feel shitty now.
