Pay attention to the lyrics. There's quite a philosophical message to the song and it usually takes a few listens to catch what Steve is saying. Largely, it's about how sometimes the seeming futility of life makes it feel like it is leading you in circles and leaves you feeling lost. Great words that Steve hides in a melody that fools you into missing the message.

Totally different genre but you should listen to Gethsemane by Camilo Sesto. Its a song fron the rock opera jesus christ superstar, but the spanish version😃

Good stuff guys ... I love the smiths thanks

Enya is one of the best singers there is. She is spectacular. She's irish

This song was a worldwide hit in 1988, including in the USA. the video the production of this song is far ahead

I'm a little late to the show but the style of guitar you mentioned in the start of the video is called Fingerstyle! Fingerstyle differs from playing with a pick because instead of using a guitar pick to pluck the strings, you pluck them with each of your 5 fingers. It's super tough to learn but can be incredibly rewarding.

Rita Pavone - Cuore

Wormwood scrubs: a london jail

Beautiful song, I wish the end could've went on for a long while !!!

Are you guys father and son?

I don’t think there’s any of us who wouldn’t wanna sing to this in the bathroom.

Gino just had this huge voice. Really amazing vocalist. You just feel it instantly.

Weller loved Mods hence the suits

78

My 2 favorite tracks on this album, for their absolute belter guitar aggressiveness, is Still take you home and From the Ritz to the rubble

Listen to the first album!

Play the whole first album!

Wow, you guys need to find some personality, excitement and charisma or nobody will watch your channel.

Now do ETON RIFLES

‘Our frank’,is another good listen.In fact they are all deeply interesting.

Every song has a different meaning...... Seeing them live recently my face hurt watching them .... Brilliant

Johnny Marr at his very finest, the lyrics are very funny as well

Weller - Wild Wood!

Love me some Smiths. Try some Tool

you gotta do the lyrics ...brilliant songwriter ..

Try Eton Rifles next

One of the greatest songs of all time, in my opinion.

The title track is also really good.

The are a mod band that’s why they have suits

Danny Carey,the drummer for Tool is one of the founders of this music foundation...and everyone knows Little Man on the wood blocks is the real Rock Star...

Hah, I too was thinking how great Joni is, and Neil Young came into mind right away. Such power, such tenderness, such truth! Well done guys!

Words cannot express how much I love these guys 🙂

The suits are part of the mod culture that was ( and still around) in the 60s..They followed bands like the Who,kinks,soul..etc..And wore sharp clothing..Apposed to their enemy The Rockers...Many violent clashes took place between rival factions especially at seaside resorts in the 60s when rival factions would visit on Bank Holiday weekends...Try and check out the film Quadrophenia ..The who done the soundtrack & the film is a great insight Into mod culture..👍

ive always liked tne time signatures drums @ 4/4 , guitar @ 6/8

You Must read the lyrics. They are brilliant.

Try some straight up Max Webster and be prepared for a ride! "In the World of Giants" from this album is monstrous as is virtually anything from "High Class in Borrowed Shoes". Such a classic album!

What Difference Does It Make is the Ultimate Smith's Song 👌

So in the intro, right after the synth voice says "Sweet Talk-in Wo-man" Jeff Lynne sings "Where did you go?", not "Bad days are gone". Sorry 😬

Larry Carlton...nough said.

Growing up in Winnipeg Randy Bachman's Guitar "Teacher/Mentor' was Lenny Breaux

BEING BOILED - HUMAN LEAGUE (suggestions)

Ok Human League is nice in the 80s, but try Human League in the 70s....much more interesting although i like this 80s tracks too but a little lesser than the 70s Human League stuff....BEING BOILED - HUMAN LEAGUE or choose HUMAN LEAGUE - CIRCUS OF DEATH...HumaN LeAGUE where really pioneers of the synth wave alternative music together with The Simple Minds, OMD, Duran Duran,Cure etc etc

Well I Wonder is my fave Smiths tune try that one guys

Meat is Murder The Smiths best album by far in my opinion.

Vintage 80s

Myles Goodwyn, Brian Greenway, Steve Lang, Gary Moffitt and Jerry Mercer were the line up from '77 - 85. Lots to choose from with 16 studio albums. 4 solos by Myles, multiple greatest hits and live recordings. Jimmy Clench, Steve Lang and now Myles Goodwyn, RIP

I am with you sir, the song "Both Sides" really got to me too. Wow! I think it makes me reflective of my own life.

Bruce Foxtons brilliant bass playing 👏

They took the keys and she’ll think it’s me! Pretty deep lyrics

Awesome sauce
