I don't really think about meeting my heroes but I've always wanted to ask Morrissey about this song. Before he died my stepdad Darren used to tell me stories about hanging out with M, and I never really believed him but after he died we found all these personal things, notes and things. He told me that one time him and M were eating cherry cake out of a bag outside a shopping centre, and Darren said "Look at us stuffing our faces with cake, nobody loves us!" and then Nobody Loves Us came out; he said he asked M if he got that lyric from that time and he said yes. I've always wanted to ask Morrissey if he remembers any of that, or other stories Darren told me :)
My favourite Morrissey song - full stop. A MASTERPIECE of songwriting. Alain's writing married with Moz's best lyrics of that period. It never lets up, it constantly finds another gear. BRILLIANT.
Every day I watch your videos further confirms my belief that you and Moz are one of the greatest one-two punches in songwriting, truly. These B-sides are tremendous. Your daily performances are the best musical gifts; I don't know what I'll watch when this magic ends (guess I'll just keep re-watching them)!
Another gem. I'll never understand why this song was left out of Southpaw Grammar, it could have been a single. Then again, most songs on Southpaw could have been a single too, it was a fantastic album, very underrated IMO. The performance, by the way, was fantastic, as usual.
I absolutely adore hearing you sing and play this, Alain. I was so happy to see you tonight in Philadelphia with Morrissey. I only wish you were given more praise and that you could have interacted with the crowd more.
I was not aware of how amazing this song is until you played it. After I watched this video I proceeded to listen to the original version. Can't believe that I was living under a rock all these years. Reminds me of all the good songs Moz used to do. Thanks for playing this!
There are a few demo versions of this amazing track kicking about. I always thought Moz felt he didn't quite nail this one. Regardless. amazing performance. You nailed it there Alain. Breathtaking.
I was just thinking "Wow, this guy's really good, this is such a great rendition". Then came the realization: "Damn, he's the one who wrote the damn tune!" :D Such a beautiful track, man. It's unbelievable it got initially released as a b-side. It's one of Morrissey's best, honestly.
Fabulous tune Mr W, the line 'born again atheists practising trouble makers' had me beside myself when I heard Morrissey sing it, I will be humming this song along with Gina G's 'oo ah just a little bit ' until doomsday, gorgeous.
And how is it that you layer so many parts into these songs and still manage to croon it out? Seriously. “I’ll just do rhythm and the lead/melody bits and also this bass line part...”. 🤯 In awe here. That IS crazy. ❤️❤️❤️
Always loved this song. Never fails to make me cry, and laugh, all in one song. Truly beautiful, so good to hear you play it. Takes me back to better times. Thank you Alain
Alain, thank you so much! Another request granted! This is like Christmas day! This song is brilliant - again, a melody perfectly suited to the emotion and irony conveyed by the lyric. Could you grace us with a rendition of Boy Racer? P.S. Would you play a Spencer song - "Lost"?
Like some of the You are the Quarry B sides, this imo should have been on the album. Fantastic Bird was equally superb. Great version of a very haunting song.
Here I was thinking you wouldn't be able to do it! Amazing performance Alain, I've no idea how you pulled that off, it's a song that makes me cry through both celebration and sadness, each day your songs have been a little ray of sunshine in these odd lockdown days, thank you from the heart of my bottom 😉 x
hi alain, i always wondered if you and the rest of the guys disagreed with the album tracklists. morrissey is famous for brilliant bsides. in many cases the songs were stronger songs than the single and many album tracks.
Been following Alains channel since pretty much the start of the lockdown, and had great fun covering them for my own amusement as well, obviously not as good.. more of a writer, but although I love Moz.. I think Al if I dare say does a lot of em are even better. Cheers for this Alain, it's honestly helped me , and I gather many others through this lockdown, so thankyou very much. Will never get tired of these..
Amazing job - in my honest opinion Moz’s best songwriting partner!! Johnny and Boz weren’t too bad either. I miss the days of you, Boz and Gaz!! Much respect - you are awesome - thank you for your videos.
superb! and great to see the original guitar chords. Morrissey must be insane to stop writing songs with you. I hope he will realize if he ever listens to his own last records. I know it's gonna happen someday. Is it possible to let me know what is the 5th chord you are playing? I can't figure it out. Many thanks
"Sing us our favorite song.." This series has made me realize I have about 50 favorite songs & they're all written by Alain Whyte ❤
Same.. Alain and Moz soundtrack and still do my life.
Yes, exactly. For me these songs feel both nostalgic & ever-present. And will always be apart of my life.
I recognize you from Alain's fb page..
Yeah I'm a bit of nuisance over there lol
My God Hannah I am going to miss your comments when this is all over 😭
Just THE Mozz masterpiece, thanks so much Alain for this jewel❤
One of the best songs ever written. By anybody.

Thanks Alain for this song, which inspired one of Morrissey’s greatest songs. Criminally underrated by fans and Morrissey himself
This song makes me so emotional it’s so beautiful and sad, one of the best you and Morrissey have written. Such a great performance Alain. ❤️
I’ll be at Brighton in Sept so am hoping it might be performed!
I first heard this song on "Burglary Years" and thought, "They LEFT THIS OFF the album??" Glad it found a second life.
You just killed me with this song Alain..., GRACIAS Y GRACIAS...!!!☺😢☺😢☺😢
I don’t remember where the heck I bought my Early Burglary Years but that album is loaded with good stuff. Have at it.
“Phew - that’s crazy.” Loved that 😅
Absolutely Magnificent Song!!!
'dab hands at trouble...with...4 days of stubble'......that is a killer line....(nice job mate)
Never a day goes by when I don't wonder how this didn't make it onto "Southpaw Grammar"? Best song of the entire sessions.
A very intense song requires an intense performance, thank you for sharing it.
One of my favourites. A side material if ever I heard it. Appreciated Alain ✌️
I have no words. Amazing.
You are simply amazing. Moz and Whyte - my favorite Moz era. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent.
Perhaps Morrissey's greatest b(a)-side ever 🏆
Like Marr playing Smiths songs, there’s a special magic to watching you playing your original Moz compositions. This is an absolute classic.

Southpaw is moz masterpiece
So bloody good
"And we just can't wait
To make more mistakes
And we just can't wait till
The whole thing blows up in our face"
Yup, here we are, thanks Mr. Whyte
That line defines me
This was my favorite Morrissey song for a long time. Thank you for this.
I miss this time ...tks this music...
This was one of my favorites on My Early Burglarly Years. "Crazier" for me that you play it for us years later! Rekindles my fond memories! Thank you!
Yes! Bloody brilliant track!
I absolutely adore hearing you sing and play this, Alain. I was so happy to see you tonight in Philadelphia with Morrissey. I only wish you were given more praise and that you could have interacted with the crowd more.
Alain! My man!!! what a song, what a great perform!!!!!! I'm one of the heart exploted , thank you SO MUCH!
I was not aware of how amazing this song is until you played it. After I watched this video I proceeded to listen to the original version. Can't believe that I was living under a rock all these years. Reminds me of all the good songs Moz used to do. Thanks for playing this!
Still one of the best songs ever.
Just as impressive as your playing is your capacity to remember all these lyrics! Great work as always
There are a few demo versions of this amazing track kicking about. I always thought Moz felt he didn't quite nail this one. Regardless. amazing performance. You nailed it there Alain. Breathtaking.
I was confused that was only a B-side at the time. Thought it better than the A-side. Love it.
I was just thinking "Wow, this guy's really good, this is such a great rendition". Then came the realization: "Damn, he's the one who wrote the damn tune!" :D
Such a beautiful track, man. It's unbelievable it got initially released as a b-side. It's one of Morrissey's best, honestly.
Alain...excellent song...great guitar playing...a big hug from Lima Peru
Great version. Well done. And thanks for showing the chords.
Oh Alain, it's so good to see you performing this. Thanks so much. Take care man.
Love the fine bass line beginning from 2:50 until 3:07. Sounds great on acoustic.
one of my favourite Moz songs x
That's stamina!
I haven’t listened to that song for a while , love that song
Fabulous tune Mr W, the line 'born again atheists practising trouble makers' had me beside myself when I heard Morrissey sing it, I will be humming this song along with Gina G's 'oo ah just a little bit ' until doomsday, gorgeous.
Nice to see you back on tour with Mozz; hope you got to write for the new record, we missed you!
This is brilliant! I've always been fond of this b side as well as "You Must Please Remember"
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Wish this played live again.
now my heart is full
I keep coming back for more this was amazing.... Seen it like ten times!
Yes! My heart did explode - thank you, Alain! 💔🥰 Gorgeous! What are we going to do when this series ends?? 😭
And how is it that you layer so many parts into these songs and still manage to croon it out? Seriously. “I’ll just do rhythm and the lead/melody bits and also this bass line part...”. 🤯 In awe here. That IS crazy. ❤️❤️❤️
@@marciemania2444 right? That middle eight is sick!
@@z0omerang Absolutely! Really inspiring and motivating me to practice more, ha hahah a!
Let me know if you if you post it, this is my name on FB too 🙂
That was brilliant. You are so humble for being so talented. Can't wait to see you live someday.
Always loved this song. Never fails to make me cry, and laugh, all in one song. Truly beautiful, so good to hear you play it. Takes me back to better times. Thank you Alain
MELTED!!!!!!

Practicing trouble maker. Love this version better than the original studio! You are the best Alain whyte, you make a lot of us stay alive 🙏 ❤
Alain, thank you so much! Another request granted! This is like Christmas day! This song is brilliant - again, a melody perfectly suited to the emotion and irony conveyed by the lyric. Could you grace us with a rendition of Boy Racer? P.S. Would you play a Spencer song - "Lost"?

It took me while too, to be able to listen to Alain's version and not start bawling my eyes out! So much emotion in his voice!
Love the slap-back effect on the guitar! \m/
That’s my Sunday sorted , brilliant and thanks for the chords 😄
I find myself listening to this once a week at the very least, just so I can keep my shit straight and not do anything stupid...
Stay strong my man :)
Alain, you’re playing the soundtrack to my life, keep ‘em coming. Please & thank you!
Alain, dude you wrote so much. Please play an acoustic show with all these lovely tracks.
Love this song!!❤👍😎
Brilliant as always, Alain.👍😎
Astonishing!
