The Smiths

[zenkey]

Anybody listen to The Smiths? They're an '80s band from Britain and sound nothing like Matt Good. They've got some really great riffs mixed with some incredible, cynical lyrics.

i love morrissey (and the smiths). i only started getting into them a couple of years ago (i.e. didn't grow up listening to them), but i'm by no means a hardcore fan because i probably only know about 1/8 of their entire 'catalogue' of songs :> i particularly like big mouth strikes again, how soon is now, there is a light... and there's one that i think is just morrissey.. 'sing me to sleep' it's just something i used to listen to often to .. hm.. 'wallow in it', i guess. definitely on my 'musical genius' list, though.

Funny how you just mentioned my favorite three Smiths songs. Bravo!

he still looks "young" (he's already old but he keeps fit) and his voice is exactly the same as always... singing Everyday is like Sunday, or the ones from the last album AND some songs from The Smiths (the stadium almost "fell down" when he started to sing "this charming man")... it was amazing, it was the first time I saw him live and i got very emotional ;)

 

it was a dream come true, honestly
