It's in my top five of the Smiths. Beautiful song! And complementing, it was the first song I heard from the Smiths here in Brazil. I think it was in 1985, on the radio. It was a shock. Completely different from anything played on the radio. It was love at first listen.

Not only my fav Smith's song.I believe this to be the best song ever written of the band electric guitar drums singer era from 1955-2000.

one more amazing song about not knowing if the one you love even know you exist, and what it they know.....not easy on all situations. no one write about these subject as he did.

This song takes me straight back to Autumn1985 when I fell in love for the first time. I had to keep it a secret and could only wonder if there was any chance that he might reciprocate or run screaming (or worse beat me up). This song took on such a special meaning. And at the time it did feel like gasping, dying and a last stand of all I was! Spoilers - it had a happy ending and we are still good friends to this day (he's now married to a woman). So it's a special song for me, and I'm sure, many, many other people. Morrissey's lyrics spoke to the outsiders, the people who felt they didn't belong, the lonely.

1:39 🤣 I feel you, man. I really do. The man has a way with his voice and lyrics. This is perhaps one of my top Smiths tracks. One day I was driving home listening to this, and Florida is weird, and as soon I turned down a road it started raining right as the rain part of the song started. It was magical 😫

Superb song

those strings at the outhrough came from a Mandoline.

The most beautiful song delivered by The Smiths. It's why Meat Is Murder pips The Queen Is Dead. Matt, just so you know. Manchester is known for it's high rainfall. The water at the end is Manchester rain. It's very relevant to the song but you have to be a Manc to get it. Manchester rain is unique in how it affects the psyche of the city and how it's reflected in the arts.

This might be my favourite Smiths song, from maybe my favourite Smiths album. It’s hard to say, it’s all so good.

Aah, just such a lovely song about wondering if they even notice you. I remember my first listen and loving how crystal clear the production was, even down to the Manchester rain towards the end.

I love your reactions!! You really understand the songs and the meaning behind them

I didn’t hear if The Smiths until 1987, so it reminds me when I was in high school ‘87.

Such a good song. So haunting and relevant

It is like He is trying to catch Me before the fall of the Reign6 ~b😂ut i keep pushing further aNd further...

loved it, it's almost like listening again for the first time with you. Do you think you'd be able to listen to some solo Morrissey? His live performances are very very entertaining and I think he has some great songs that you might enjoy.

I think the sound of running water is the pouring Manchester rain. I live just over the hills so recognise the sound 🌧

Definitely definitely gotta do ‘I wont share you’by the Smiths as well My top 3 Smiths songs 🍻

More of Smiths please!
