I love this much-derided song. People quote it as proof that the Smiths made morose music for morose people, but if you actually listen, it’s an amazingly uplifting song. Johnny Marr’s guitar is heavenly sounding; it all reminds me that no one else really made pop like the Smiths. What I've just said really completely fails to do the song justice. Ah well...

when singing or hearing this song? It shows quite a bit of Morrissey here - he's "miserable" but it all sounds sublime, with a wistful tongue-in-cheekness to it. It's really pretty actually. If this is "misery" then please give me more of it, I'll get along quite nicely!

Britpop classic from the mid 90's. Bits of every great pop record ever
26 Mar 11 ·daniela_por: I love this song. Have you heard keane's cover? It's not as good as the original, but it's nice :) 28 Mar 11 ·delicado: There's a Nick Cave cover that I think is pretty cool.
