For all you people who comment or put Johnny Marr in a category or comparison to someone else, another song, or especially another band, PLEASE STOP! For the love of God, I cant stand that shit. This man is in a category all his own. Johnny Marr, thank you for your uniqueness.
Jorge is right though. It was recorded in Crazyface, Johnny's abandoned factory turned studio in Manchester. And he's given a few interviews where he talks about the industrial past of the city, the factory etc, colour the mood and the drama of the album. So no, let's not fuck Manchester.
Johnny Marr never received a knighthood, and he technically never will, and then also even if he did (which he won't due to direct criticism of the Royal Family) he said he would turn it down. He's not a knight, just a damn fine musician. Still a brilliant song.
This piece of music moves me in ways I’ve never been moved by music! This is an experience! Thank you Sir Johnny Marr!! Please do not stop making music! It feeds my soul!
No man has suffered Rushing through my brain Rolling in my heart Swelling in the wind The blue has redemption The tide that never changed Breaking in my heart We are born again I'd climb in under skies so blue it yearns Hand over hand, carried all the memories And don't look down in fate or fame I tumble and glide into the white wide tide Whirling and whirling And let the slamming waves decide my fate Because hope is all I need And hope breaks on me And hope breaks on me And hope breaks on me And hope breaks on me The moon and the sun glow Take me down The moon and the sun glow Take me down.
This must be what Heaven sounds like! Wow! Very impressed by the songs I’ve heard from the upcoming ‘Comet’ album. Johnny is my new favorite guitar player. He uses the guitar like an artist uses a paintbrush -creating layers and textures that in this case are absolutely beautiful.
Moises: I'm a big fan of FoTN, but I just don't hear it. Perhaps the interlude piano playing could slightly be considered goth except for the stagnant marching beat that flows from the interlude. Anway, if you like both Marr and Fields you are in good company. We can disagree opinion wise, but it seems we both like the same sort of music. Cheers.
A GENIUS THAT NEVER STOPS!!! Now presenting another album, better than the previous ones. With impeccable live shows. Producing new bands like "La rueda o el barco" Proving that he grows while others decay!!
He is genius. He finds new sounds and combinations as Moz and his musicians do. When *The Smiths* split up, people were upset. So upset, they speak about it today with the same sense of loss. However, I tend to look at it like this - We now see Morrissey and Marr going their separate ways and those of us who have been avid fans only gain by the double creativity. We now have two bands to watch and twice the listening pleasure and music compilations. This track is very different. When the track first started, I was kinda saying "Oh where is this going"? when the track opened up, I enjoyed the song.
I went to Johnny's show last night in New York, and it was fantastic. He did this song and several others from the new record, and we the audience loved every one. Do try to see him and his band on this launch tour if you can. I'm looking forward to their return this fall!
I wasn't prepared for all these feels...Johnny Marr took me into another dimension between the Veil of existence...and broke my heart...to be reborn. 🐺🌹
Amazing song! It is so fantastic that a man who wrote the most principal pages of 80th's express your self so perfectely using the new styles of the modern sound. He is a genius! I don't ever become tired to hear this song.
When an artist finds a way to renew his approach to what he does and does it in this way we can only bow and thank him ... not only his natural talent continues to shine but there is a planning and an attention to what he does which is really remarkable ... I continue to consider Johnny my favorite guitarist of all time but not forgetfulness to also love his lyrics really beautiful, deserve to be considered part of his magnificence ...
classic, but refreshingly contemporary. emotional, while adrenaline fuelled. All of this in the right measure. A great single. I'll await the new album with great excitement. Cheers .
Gorgeous. Johnny isn't afraid to step out of color-by-numbers tunes most of his contemporaries have at this point. Loved The Messenger as well. Viva Marr!
Johnny Marr is a genius. Clear to see who was the true creative force in The Smiths.
For all you people who comment or put Johnny Marr in a category or comparison to someone else, another song, or especially another band, PLEASE STOP! For the love of God, I cant stand that shit. This man is in a category all his own. Johnny Marr, thank you for your uniqueness.
Totally agree. The man is a legend.
There’s only one Johnny Marr…
Johnny Marr the best guitarist ever....
Pure Manchester. The sound of the city.
fuck Manchester
Jorge is right though. It was recorded in Crazyface, Johnny's abandoned factory turned studio in Manchester. And he's given a few interviews where he talks about the industrial past of the city, the factory etc, colour the mood and the drama of the album. So no, let's not fuck Manchester.
Manch "rocks". Gotta love elbow, too
And what does 'Pure Manchester' mean exactly ?
Steve Evans, Pure Love. If I have to explain you, you won't understand it. You need to have lived it before.
With this, Sir Johnny Mar may has just delivered one of his finest, deepest and more gorgeous pieces of music. There’s nothing else to do but enjoy.
Johnny Marr never received a knighthood, and he technically never will, and then also even if he did (which he won't due to direct criticism of the Royal Family) he said he would turn it down. He's not a knight, just a damn fine musician. Still a brilliant song.
i agree….a deep,deeo,deep unbeliebablevsong-made for the next hundred years-special people will listen.. and won‘t forget.EVER ❤
……..missed him this august in manchester…but…i cańt wait to meet him-he could sign my tshirt….from there🤓😎🥳🐛🧚♂️🦂
Fuckin love this song the lead in middle is incredible
This piece of music moves me in ways I’ve never been moved by music! This is an experience! Thank you Sir Johnny Marr!! Please do not stop making music! It feeds my soul!
Masterpiece - the harmonies on this track are incredible
I discovered this track on " Spirit Power the best of". Amazing song.
No man has suffered
Rushing through my brain
Rolling in my heart
Swelling in the wind
The blue has redemption
The tide that never changed
Breaking in my heart
We are born again
I'd climb in under skies so blue it yearns
Hand over hand, carried all the memories
And don't look down in fate or fame
I tumble and glide into the white wide tide
Whirling and whirling
And let the slamming waves decide my fate
Because hope is all I need
And hope breaks on me
And hope breaks on me
And hope breaks on me
And hope breaks on me
The moon and the sun glow
Take me down
The moon and the sun glow
Take me down.
that chorus at the end always make me cry dude
I can't resist
László Nagy thank you for this
Thank you for the lyrics.
It's the moon and the surf both in the first line and before take me down.
There’s an wonderful intensity to this song. Marr going deep…
If there ever is a Season 4 of Twin Peaks, I hope Johnny Marr gets invited to play The Roadhouse.
Perfectly yes
Masterpiece Song.
This must be what Heaven sounds like! Wow! Very impressed by the songs I’ve heard from the upcoming ‘Comet’ album. Johnny is my new favorite guitar player. He uses the guitar like an artist uses a paintbrush -creating layers and textures that in this case are absolutely beautiful.
Joe Robinson yes he does!! What a wonderful piece of music this is!
This is SUBLIME. It's like Inception soundtrack meets Goth meets New Wave meets Indie... how amazing are the vocals in the second part of the song?
¿Goth? Not so much. Soundtrack Music-New Wave-Indie type track---Yes.
Goth: yes. Sounds like early Fields of the Nephilim with a normal voice.
Moises: I'm a big fan of FoTN, but I just don't hear it. Perhaps the interlude piano playing could slightly be considered goth except for the stagnant marching beat that flows from the interlude. Anway, if you like both Marr and Fields you are in good company. We can disagree opinion wise, but it seems we both like the same sort of music. Cheers.
Sprinkle of Breathless too...
Chasing promises...
After listening to this, I have this strong need to see a future collaboration between Johnny and Thom Yorke.
Don't mess with Marr...he has 'it' all together this gentle man.
Bravo Johnny Mfkn Marr 🎸🎶🎵👌👍
This artist is so great. Few notes, but so exciting. Great teaching for the guitarists of the new generation.
God, that piano intro!! for a second I thought I would hear the chords of "Last night I dreamt that somebody love me"
Ive played piano, trumpet and harmonica but MAN when johnny plays guitar.....i want to be johnny!!!
A GENIUS THAT NEVER STOPS!!! Now presenting another album, better than the previous ones. With impeccable live shows. Producing new bands like "La rueda o el barco" Proving that he grows while others decay!!
la rueda o el barco!!
Like a fine red wine 🍷 he ages so well 😍
yeahh
He is genius. He finds new sounds and combinations as Moz and his musicians do.

T R U E
Brilliant. Getting Interpol vibes from the 2nd half of the song
I love the way it grows.
I know, it's like a thunder storm slowly building up, unleashing it's power and dissipating almost instantly
I saw him do this live. I’m still recovering.
I swear this is the most beautiful song on earth
Johnny and his Jazz master the only celebrity couple I am interested in
great driving song
Johnny, your songwriting moves me like not many others do. Please never stop. You are an inspiration-thank you. 🙏
Johnny Marr has got to be one of the best musicians around, this dude has been going strong for years
Very atmospheric. Sort of reminds me of Interpol. Love it
A genius
This man is one of the few who literally put me in a trance while I was watching him play at the show in Seattle Saturday.
I like the guitar riff, this is sublime.
Incredible...too short.. put on repeat😄
I went to Johnny's show last night in New York, and it was fantastic. He did this song and several others from the new record, and we the audience loved every one. Do try to see him and his band on this launch tour if you can. I'm looking forward to their return this fall!
James Early Managed to bag tickets to go see him in Bath, fucking excited after listening to this!
That's great! I hope you enjoy the show as much we did.
It's hard to write a song better than this. Gorgeous.
Absolutely brilliant song
Simply great !
Fantastic! Using that whammy bar like a shoegazer! I’m glad someone is still making good music.
Beautiful guitar sound!!!
Johnny's guitar sounds like my soul holding on to hope.
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Can’t believe I’ve never heard this track until seeing Johnny marr live last Sunday absolutely phenomenal the guy is genius❤️
Great track off a great album 👍👍👍
The talent that is……❤
One of his greatest songs imo, it just sounds so different so unreal. Johnny is my favorite guitarist
I love Johnny Marr...
Viva Marr!
I tumble & glide into the white, sparkly Jag. So good on my ears take me down
Met this musical genius a week ago. He truly is “this charming man”!
I wasn't prepared for all these feels...Johnny Marr took me into another dimension between the Veil of existence...and broke my heart...to be reborn. 🐺🌹
Pezzo clamoroso scoperto così per sbaglio. ALLUCINANTE Johnny the BE(A)ST
Amazing song! It is so fantastic that a man who wrote the most principal pages of 80th's express your self so perfectely using the new styles of the modern sound. He is a genius! I don't ever become tired to hear this song.
Thinking of you Johnny Marr! Stay safe!
When an artist finds a way to renew his approach to what he does and does it in this way we can only bow and thank him ... not only his natural talent continues to shine but there is a planning and an attention to what he does which is really remarkable ... I continue to consider Johnny my favorite guitarist of all time but not forgetfulness to also love his lyrics really beautiful, deserve to be considered part of his magnificence ...
All I can say is "WOW". My fave Marr tune so far!
R.I.P Sophie Smith.Almost one year but never forgotten.
instant love at the first seconds
This is what heaven sounds like.
He is ranked 4th best guitar player in the last 30 years
Johnny Marr it's a genius!!!
Watched him last night in Birmingham. The man is a genius!
I think being on tour with Hans Zimmer had an influence on this track, in my opinion his best song ever, repeat, repeat, repeat..
Same here
classic, but refreshingly contemporary. emotional, while adrenaline fuelled. All of this in the right measure. A great single. I'll await the new album with great excitement. Cheers .
This guy is pure music!!!💙
A genious Mr. Marr, the King of the Melody....The greatest Melody Maker
What a atmosphere. This is a song different of others, i'm loving the new singles and can't wait for the full record.
Fantástica a atmosfera mesmo; da pra viajar para lugares distantes sem sair de casa. Coisa que só gênios conseguem fazer.
call the comet. great album. Johnny is a living God.
brilliant artist...
Beautiful ❤️ 😍 🎇🏞🌠💙 Thank you for all this incredible music .
Beautiful song: the one from Comet that has grown on me the most as a durable and haunting tune.
Love! Love! Love!
Oh mother of all things holy....I'm having a spiritual moment
So scaringly great it even makes Marr's own hair stand on end.
Fantastic Johnny Marr
That guitar 🎸 sound, brilliant. Johnny one of the coolest dudes on the planet. 😎
Great tune with one missing piece. Reunite, my friends!
I F’in Love Johnny Marr
Brilliant. Great Johnny Marr
A Royale with cheese... simple and clean tune.. Well Done!
Haunting and absolutely brilliant 👌
Love this. Thank you.
What a song, so many amazing things going on sonically. Have to say this has to be one of Johnny Mary's finest moments as an artist.
this is a tune for the ages, an immortal piece of music, probably will be in his obituary
Everything about this is great.
Ohh Marr..you truly are a blessing.Thanks for visiting Stockholm❤️
Brilliant. GREAT vocal performance here too. Killing it, Sir Marr... ONE DAY I will be one if those gents backing you up on guitar, you watch.
Gorgeous. Johnny isn't afraid to step out of color-by-numbers tunes most of his contemporaries have at this point. Loved The Messenger as well. Viva Marr!
Saw you in brum two, didn't know you could play a little yellow car. buzzing for the next one
Love Johnny Marr. Love Johnny Marr's music.
Johnny Marr pure class
I can hear some Interpol thing in it. Magical video. Lots of love to Johnny.
Johnny FUCKING Marr!! This is the real music, this is like a dream, this is an eargasm. Genius.
A huevo hijos de pinche madre...
Truly love your music sir
In an word ... Monumental.
Thank you Johnny for continuing to put out thoughtful and beautiful music in this humdrum age of lipsyners.
First 36 seconds sounds way silly and random, but then the man comes in with the sparkle jag and everything is allright, go on godlike genius!
This is bloody gorgeous. 🖤
I think this Song Is beautiful and magic . It has a mysterious melody for me..
Very melodic 🎸 guitar ...fantastic 🎼
Damn! So far i like all singles you've made. Can't wait to hear the album, it's gonna be great!
