Andy is the driving force behind this killer track

My brother taped the Peel Show and the next day we listened to this - their first session - and were knocked flat. We'd never heard anything like it before. This track in particular flattened me. I still think it's the best thing that they - or practically anyone - ever did. The album version knocked off all the rough edges, smoothed out the guitar sound and - criminally - removed the harmonica.

I question the impact of the smiths if there was no Andy rourke

Morrissey's vocal performance on this track is probably the greatest of all-time. Either this or Jeff Buckley's performance in the song "Grace".

Andy Rourke low key steals almost every song.

This is one of the songs I've heard in 2024. Music 🎶 🎸

Chrissie hind said “ andy is as much underrated as Johnny is over rated”

I haven’t heard the Peel version before and it’s my favourite smiths song, thank you for this!

It sounds like Morrissey inhaled some helium for the last half of the song.

"Please stay with your kind and I'll stay with mine" Amen, brother. Amen.

#4 on my list after This Charming Man, What She Said and You've Got Everything Now. An excellent version of the song! Mo' Smiths!

My favorite version of this song!

Love is just a miserable lie!!!

Brilliant version. Love this... There is one performance where they did "London" then right in to this. Gorgeous.

Andy we all miss You🥲

Its such an interesting song - the first part is the outer voice and the falsetto introduces that inner voice reflecting on the character's life and motivations, the quicken tempo reflecting his confusion and even increased heart rate

Waaay better than the album version

So, goodbye

THE HARMONICA 😍

i love it
