I have to share that right now. I don't know what's wrong with me today... *loooool* But I... Aww, it's so cute.

Sheesh. I can't believe that the Smiths threads on here have been neglected. :o

 

:wink3:

 

:thinking: :smug: :wink3: :smug: :wink3: :smug: :wink3:

How Soon is Now:nice:

Best song ever.

How Soon is Now:nice:

Best song ever.

Oh yeah, the first song I knew.

 

And then it was Headmaster's Ritual. :cool:

 

That was two years ago. And my best friend let me listen to How Soon is now... 3 years ago... Or was it even longer ago?

 

 

Hmmmhhhh... Shoplifters of the World Unite. :wink3: :cool:

..Unite and take ahhh bowww.:D

:D

 

Yay. I'm not the man you think I am.

The Headmaster Ritual was the second song of them that I have gotten to know. My best friend had bought "Meat Is Murder" and let me listen to the opening track. I liked it so much that I let her put it on a mix CD for me. :D

 

And... I'd listen to it... So often.

 

But I only borrowed her CDs now. Well, two months ago. I have even returned them to her already... And... Hmmhhh... I am listening to "Rusholme Ruffians", which I liked it immediately. Especially the perfect line "Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain-pen. This means you really love me." :heart: :laugh3:

How Soon is Now:nice:

Best song ever.

MY FAVOURITE TOO

bump.....

 

 

I have to agree, The Smiths are the greatest band, certainly of the past 30 years. Have we all seen Chris Martin on youtube singing The Smiths "Stop Me If You Think That Youve Heard This One Before" - Mark Ronson just hit #1 in the UK with a cover of this song as well.....

 

Rolling Stone magazine just tabbed Morrissey & Johnny Marr as the #5 best songwriting tandem in rock history.

 

Most of todays music fans do not realize how influential The Smiths & Morrissey are and have been. Virtually every indie band from The Libertines to Arctic Monkeys to Keane to The Killers to Franz Ferdinand, Oasis all credit Morrissey and The Smiths as a top influence. I always knew Modest Mouse were fans, and now theyve picked up Johnny Marr, who is taking a very prominent role in the band. Then youve got the bands that have used Morrissey lyrics to name their band: Ordinary Boys, Pretty Girls Make Graves....

Johnny Marr is a legend,but Paddy Morissey is a loser

No he's not.

No he's not.

well yeah,I wouldnt call him loser,he just cant sing

well yeah,I wouldnt call him loser,he just cant sing

 

 

but you should hear him play piano......

Of course I did,I only dont like his voice.... The band rocks

very subjective, his fans would say his voice is fantastic and completely unique....

Morrissey to debut song "Thats How People Grow Up" on Late Night w/David Lettermen on Friday June 29th.....

very subjective, his fans would say his voice is fantastic and completely unique....

 

I know,everybody on the board loves his voice

I must admit I never thought about if I liked his voice. It's just very unique, also the way he sings. I mean, for me it's more about the lyrics and of course he delivers them.

Hand In Glove, playing right now......such a powerhouse of a song....

Hand in glooveee, the sun shines out of our behinds....:nice:

 

 

YOU complete me..........

 

Hand in glove

The sun shines out of our behinds

No, it's not like any other love

This one is different - because it's us

Hand in glove

We can go wherever we please

And everything depends upon

How near you stand to me

And if the people stare

Then the people stare

Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care

Kiss My Shades

Hand in glove

The Good People laugh

Yes, we may be hidden by rags

But we've something they'll never have

Hand in glove

The sun shines out of our behinds

Yes, we may be hidden by rags

But we've something they'll never have

And if the people stare

Then the people stare

Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care

Kiss My Shades ... oh ...

So, hand in glove I stake my claim

I'll fight to the last breath

If they dare touch a hair on your head

I'll fight to the last breath

For the Good Life is out there somewhere

So stay on my arm, you little charmer

But I know my luck too well

Yes, I know my luck too well

And I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

Oh ...
