"How Soon Is Now?" was originally a B-side of the 1984 single "William, It Was Really Nothing". "How Soon Is Now?" was featured on the compilation album Hatful of Hollow and on U.S., Canadian, Australian and Warner UK editions of the group's second album Meat Is Murder released in 1985.
Lyrics
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

He says he was woken up by it early in the morning after his first college party, and it was playing extremely loud. He said that was the definitive moment he realized his freedom, from being a kid to being a man. Since he told me the story it’s become one of the most powerful songs I know.

I remembered being picked last in sports teams in school, but really the glass was half full. Everyone feels sad, its a mood. Sometimes you go to a club, and you find someone who loves Morrissey more than you, you go to bed with him, and you're on your own. But you still have " How Soon Is Now"

@steveh7682 2 жыл бұрын

Mar wasn't such a good guitarist but he was amazingly creative in the way he took a few amps and effects pedals and used them to get a unique sound that was highly entertaining. Being a guitarist myself with very limited playing ability I've gotten better response from audiences playing with my band than hard core musicians did playing at the same venue .I made very likable sounds with the guitar that captured people senses. It not how good the musicians are , it's how well the audience listening , likes it .Kurk Cobain is another example of that . He barely knew how to play guitar . But he was a great entertainer with a very likable sound .

If I liked the song and I wanted to do a cover it may take me a week or so to do it .I listened to it and didn't think much of it . I listened to all the songs I could find on the Smiths and Johnny Marr because I like How Soon Is Now so much . I find it's the only song I like of Marrs and the Smiths. If Marr wrote the music to that song , he most likely wrote what came natural to him with the style and from what patterns he uses to practice with . Marr may be able to play that song with ease because it's in him . He may have trouble learning what music I have written . It's just repetitious practice .I'm learning How Soon Is Now because someone I know wants to do a cover of the song when she gigs out . She writes her own material ,both music and lyrics , but feels she want's to do a few covers in between her own stuff. Since she moved here from another town and doesn't have her band anymore I may get to play out as part of her band .I'm old and rusty but there's nothing more I like than playing in a band and gigging out . Here's the person's own materialwho want's to do a Marr's cover . If ya think it isn't to your liking be easy with criticism.

I met Johnny a few years back and he said the song almost didn’t happen because of how complicated it was to get that now famous sound out of the guitar...apparently it took weeks to get right, but he said now, a kid could create the sound with an iPhone.
