I often experience feelings of anxiety before arriving at work. Pretty much every day for the last two years I've listened to this once before getting out of the car, and each time I hear these lyrics and the melody, my whole nervous system relaxes and I show up to my crew full of hope and positivity. Thank you Johnny.

Nobody crafts rolling guitar melodies like Johnny Fucking Marr. This is so good it hurts..

@StopMoColorado 7 жыл бұрын

Michael Adair - Seriously, I actually started crying involuntarily first time I heard this song, totally caught me off guard, I'm not a weepy guy, but Marr's playing is that rare blend of Heart and technical skill that really can't be faked or imitated, nobody I can think of even comes close these days, not even Dave Navarro.

I think the only person I've heard that has a similar rollin technique is bert jansch. You can hear the influence definitely

Connor Hutcheon, as you may know all too well, Johnny Marr credits Jansch as his single most major influence. He is extremely talented as well. Long live Johnny Marr. He’ll save rock n’ roll.

Flipper I think the comparison still stands, in that Marr made about as much of an impact on indie/alternative music in the 80s and Jimmy Page did on heavy rock music in the 70s. It's not so much a direct comparison to Page, more about how influential Marr is.

keyserdurden - My wife went out of town for the weekend, I was actually up all night listening to Marr in my headphones, realized that I would actually had probably chosen this over sex tonight even if she'd still been home (and that's no shot at my wife, I couldn't want a better woman, zero complaints after almost 25 years, she still steals my heart every time I see her face!), seriously on another level. I remember a few times playing, when I was younger and did little else, when the world seemed to dissolve away and my guitar seemed to sing on its own, almost as if it colluded with my Soul to take over my fingers, a feeling beyond merely physical bliss...listening to Marr brings that same feeling back, a beautiful melancholy that can't be put into words. I'm going to light a candle for him and give special thanks to God for giving the world Johnny Marr and his music the next time I pray!
