The thing a lot of people who say The Smiths lyrics are bleak don't understand is Morrissey's uses a lot of humour, irony and self deprecation. He doesn't literally want to die in a car crash in the same way as a poet says they will climb every mountain or walk 5000 miles aren't actually going to do these things. Its to convey an intensity of emotion using poetic exaggeration.

I just realized - “take me out”… they’re not going to the club. He’s saying, kill me now. I will die a happy man. The feeling of home that is so comforting and warm and loving is nothing compared to this new feeling of love and happiness.

@Music-tg5is Жыл бұрын

@@BLAKRAINBOW Yep! At the very least, it's a clever play on words with a double-meaning. With both meanings of "take me out" being relevant to the songs themes, on the surface, asking to go out on the town, to see the "lights", or of asking to be "taken out" (killed), whereupon many so-called near-death victims also claim to have seen a "light" ... that never goes out?

You're right with everything except calling Marr underrated. I think the generations of musicians that came after The Smiths know and appreciate him and his work a lot. He got voted on rank 4 of BBC's poll for the best guitarists of the last 30 years in 2010 and worked with The Pretenders, Bryan Ferry, The The, Modest Mouse, Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys and even Hans Zimmer. Doesn't sound underrated if you ask me.

I remember feeling so connected to this song when I was a teen. The part where he says, "And in the darkened underpass I thought 'Oh god my chance has come at last', but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask". That resonated with me so much as a young closeted Gay man, and being in love with your friend and not being able to express that love out of fear and how much that hurt so deeply. So glad I'm not in that place any longer.

Of course he doesn't literally want to die. All he says is that he's so overwhelmed by the intense feeling he gets being together with the person he loves, nothing else matters. This is a classic teenage themed song.

Lex, the detail is what makes the writing even better. It sets the scene, the descriptiveness really adds to it all in the same way a book does. It’s helps you be more vivid and less vague in your processing of the story when you’re playing out the scene in your head while listening. The impact of a 10 tonne truck is much more, adds to the drama yes. And double decker buses are the standard in England.

As an autistic man, I strongly believe that Morrissey is as well. I have an extreme capacity for sarcastic, violent, self-loathing humor that most people find extremely offputting, and I often forget that neurotypicals are horrified when I don't attempt to filter myself. Most my friends are also autistic and are the same way. Part of it also stems from having dealt with depression for much of my adult life. A lot of songs by the Smiths are about extreme, crippling loneliness (such as in "How Soon is Now?", when he says "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"), which is a common issue among neurodivergent people. It's also common for those of us on the spectrum to have difficulty perceiving the emotions of others and conveying our own emotions, as this song demonstrates. Morrissey's message is actually incredibly heartwarming: he's telling his significant other that being with them is absolute bliss, and nothing else that could possibly happen would take away from that. He just conveys that message in a vividly morbid way that most people wouldn't be able to appreciate.

@ronpotts6385 Жыл бұрын

Lex is extremely insightful. I've been a fan of The Smiths and of Morrissey since 1990, when a high school classmate lent me a Smiths compilation, "Louder Than Bombs", and a Morrissey album, " Bona Drag". I've seen Morrissey ( the lead singer for the Smiths) twice in concert, and when he plays "There Is a Light..", in concert, there are audience members dancing, both in couples and in groups, and there is a lot of hugging and crying. The song is about a type of love that transcends all things, including death.

Born in Manchester eons ago I’m lucky to have lived with The Smiths as a soundtrack to my life. To marry the bleak to the hopeful who then give birth to the sublime is Morrisey and Marr’s gift to us. A talent like no other from a city like no other.

A few other Smiths songs I forgot to initially suggest on the previous video: The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, Ask & You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet Baby

Lex so gets The Smiths. She sees the beauty and humour of Morrissey. Her smile says it all.

took me a long time to learn to like this kind of sad crooner vocal.. but I think Radiohead was my gateway to it. It's seems to be popular in the UK.. just like this band was. This song is some iconic amazing stuff. Lyrically, vocally, and musically so damn heartful. The bass in particular really gets me.

They seem a bit dark to me, Emo, lol. Yep, that's the Smiths. My favourite band when I was growing up :) Another good one my the Smiths is Cemetry Gates :)

Truly, truly… truly. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. The lyrics are so touching and heartfelt. Even the melody and the chords are so heartfelt that every time I hear this song, it literally brings me to tears.

These lyrics are to be interpreted more like poetry. That's why they may seem impentitrateable to the uninitiated, and totally soul-destroying to the tuned in. And you also have Johnny Marr creating the soundscape in the background. One of the best bands of all time.

That’s hilarious. He really doesn’t get it, does he. 🤣. Just that enormously critical look he had throughout the whole song. It’s called poetry, my friend.

The Smiths, Morrissey. 👏 Old school alternative music. British new wave, indie rock. They have a lot of good songs. See the video for "This Charming Man" next! Morrissey is sarcastically dark. Dark humor, melancholy. 🌙
