The Smiths - Asleep

[amonsterinyourcloset]

Morrissey you beautiful beautiful man.

[MsMeowPow]

Charlie sent me :D

[BuffySummersWannabe]

I am attempting to completely recreate the second side of the tape that Charlie gave Patrick in the book Perks of Being a Wallflower. If you want to hear it, check out my channel.

[iateyourspaghetti]

Funnily enough, i adore the smiths, i've seen morrisey live twice, but never heard this song. When i read the perks of being a wallflower (which was bloody amazing) i listened to this. So both the smiths AND the perks of being a wallflower bought me here, not that it matters x

[IsolatedPanda]

'I was totally here before the book' Shut the fuck up. Enjoy the music, enjoy the book.

[ailibean]

where is this cemetery? its beautiful

[arrianne182]

hahaha! this song led me into reading the perks of being a wallflower.... AMAZING book...... AMAZING song.......AMAZING band

[freemisterdarcy]

Hey, the book was good. A lot of us are here for the music alone. Don't bash a great book because it made a fucking awesome song more popular.

[FifiTheWonderPoodle]

Julian</3

[Tykaaaaahs]

Nice things are meant to be shared. Don't need to be mad if people are actually listening to this song 'cause of that book :-)

[ThePabloemery]

dude, how about the people who knew of this song/band BEFORE some gay movie about teenagers?

[alha97]

the perks of being a wallflower sent me here and i'm glad it did.

[lisahill619]

I've never felt infinite to be honest :(

[OldEchoes1]

Controlled by sound - well, well, shouldn't you be reading 1984?

[HolyShizNitzCaptain]

I just started reading the book and i just ha to listen to this song XD

It really puts the book into perspective

[locketdown]

I feel like Charlie when I listen to this song.

[christinek8]

Beautiful song. Singers should make songs like this nowadays, not some of the things they come up with. ugh

[francisc930]

Infinite.

[sks9785]

I read The Perks of a being a Wallflower 3 years ago. I never bothered to look up this song even though I absolutely loved the book. I discovered this song last year and fell in love with the song. Now, as I re-read perks and noticed that he mentioned this beautiful song that I love I can't help but feel so connected to him. I loved this song before I connected the two together. But now that the two are connected, I can say my love for both has grown 'infinity'.

[lupusdirus]

Am I the only one who isn't here because of The Perks of Being a Wallflower?

[LTlegendLT]

@lupusdirus yes you are only one .

[lupusdirus]

@LTlegendLT Meh, okay with it.

[JRSS817]

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

[JustinBeiberLuvHim]

I am in love with Charlie's mixtape for Patrick. And this song is golden. Best book I have ever read.

[estadoagridulce]

∞ just that.

[KillPlexPlan]

I too read a book and used youtube to find the song it referenced.

[KillPlexPlan]

@KillPlexPlan Sorry I forgot to quote the book: "Masturbation is when you rub your genitals until you have an orgasm."

[amishftw2]

I feel infinite.

[NelenaTaylena]

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is one AMAZING book , and Charlie thank you for showing me this great band .

[toinkz888]

Just like Charlie, I am a wallflower too. Don't feel bad for me. I like being exactly that.

[TheSouthernKiller80]

After hearing some songs by The Smiths last summer, I decided to download more songs by them, but I never did because I was too lazy. Then, I read The Perks of Being A Wallflower today, and decided I should do what I should've done months ago. I'm going to start by downloading this song first!

[123ilovevampires]

I brought myself here.

[aliceishappyvibrancy]

I love how many people are willing to search for a song because a book alluded to it. I am so reassured that literature and music still hold real significance, even in these depthless times...

On another note...I feel infinite. Thank you Charlie.

[turtlelvr45]

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

[Caitiesaurus0]

Incidentally, Charlie sent me here too.

[vannypanties]

endless bliss. that's what this is.

[LimePink111]

this is so fucking sad

[Sapito103]

I came here because of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I stayed for the good music :3

[taterthesufferer]

I sang a cover of this, it's on my channel, check it out. ........Damn I feel like a troll for spamming but I'm just getting the word out there. haha.

[kittyjones09]

I'm not here because of a book, I'm here cause I listen to damn good music.

[DjCINEMA]

@kittyjones09 book?

[jjbeejjuice]

.... love you squee

[saddda90]

Goodbye Nonno <3 ti amerò sempre.

[googoodollfan]

When I first heard this song, I didn't understand the lyrics at all... Now I do.

[TheWeepao]

charlie was right it is a beautiful song ;O

[cRaZyGiRlGoNeMaD]

i feel infinite.

[mynameisreallyrandom]

this song is stuck in my head so i listen to it and then i get sadder. endless cycle

[roseclouds]

Where was this shot-it's pretty!

[AlexisCapri]

It really is so irritating having you Perks people on this video. Go to a Perks video, there's one over there look

------------------------>

You're irritating the hell out of Smiths fans.

[xXBlaqkAngelXx]

Does anyone have the Piano tabs for this song? I cannot find tabs for it anywhere. If you could help me out I would be forever in your debt. Its a matter of life and love :/

[OldEchoes1]

@xXBlaqkAngelXx Sure, try - "Morrissey Solo" website then type in in the search box"Asleep Piano tabs." Hope this helps and may the love and life you want be yours. Sincere wishes.

[SammyKeyes11]

I love how I'm not the only one who came here because of The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

[GiizemHayta]

my heart skips a beat as i wait for it to load.

[LoLoTate08]

Thumbs up if the article about the pilot script for "The Magicians" brought you here! YAY!

[ginad17]

Thumbs up if being a fan of the Smiths brought you here....

[AprilDalaman]

RIP Kristen. I think of you whenever I hear this song. </3

[ginad17]

@AprilDalaman I'm sorry for your loss whoever she was.

[hepburnhoe]

@SonicTheUnicorn1

those three words omg doidhaoidfjaofjwfjwe

[darkcat102]

Thumbs up if The Smiths brought you here <3

[DeeJaythirteen13]

I think it would hve been grat to have written one of those songs. i bet if i wrote 1 of them, i would be very proud. i hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. i hope thatthey feel its enough. i really do because theyve made me happy.and im only one person.

[CookieDamage13x]

Them Ledgends

[sherlockrockstar]

I just want to tell chrissyellen62 that this is the MOST important video of my life. Morrissey is the most important music of my life; this video suits the video more than anyone else can imagine. the images and the song may as well be the portrait of my life. I watch this video more than any other. this means more to me than most anything. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[alydatgurrl]

it really makes me happy to see that other people appreciate the same music/literature that i do.

[dilutedpants]

You guys do realize that this isn't the song playing when Charlie says that... That song is Landslide...

[xoxotntxoxo]

"There is this one photograph of Sam that is just beautiful. It would be impossible to describe how beautiful it is, but I’ll try. If you listen to the song “Asleep,” and you think about those pretty weather days that make you remember things, and you think about the prettiest eyes you’ve known, and you cry, and the person holds you back, then I think you will see the photograph."

[amicusnemini]

wow this really does feel like winter

[oliviaaahhhh]

Thank you Charlie, i feel infinite.

[plainjane108]

@oliviaaahhhh The Perks of Being a Wallflower <3 :D

[97Lien]

people, trust me when I say that this song is even more magnificent when you play it on a turntable...

[MrDuranTate]

@MateoVictorVilla You are an amazing person.

[LisaJJMerry]

@MateoVictorVilla I wish you Perks of a Wallflower twats would fuck off, this song has NOTHING to do with your dumb book.

[LumberjackQueen]

@LisaJJMerry Clearly you did not read the book...

[DayDreamAscent]

@LumberjackQueen Clearly you didn't read her comment and understand it. She said, quite rightly, this song has NOTHING to do with that book. It doesn't.

[OldEchoes1]

@DayDreamAscent That's correct. But don't be bitter.

[AlexisCapri]

@LumberjackQueen The song has nothing to do with the book. The book may have something to do with the song but not the other way around.

[OldEchoes1]

@AlexisCapri Yes, it's frustrating. However, I like your taste in humour - Blackadder is splendid. All the best.

[TheMadClarinet]

@LisaJJMerry Hey, I understand where you're coming from, I loved this song, this band, years before I read that book, but there's no need for animosity.. The book just talks about the way the song made one person feel, and that inspired some people. Celebrate that, don't admonish it (even if the comments do get a tad irksome, ha.)

[311237]

@MateoVictorVilla I read the book 5 or 6 years ago, I am so thrilled they are making a movie!! :D

[denyingbelial]

This song is just so... vast. desolate.

[LilmissDancestar]

I looked up this song because of the perks of being a wallflower, which is by far the most amazing book ever <3

thank you Charlie!

[LoganLermanLover1991]

I came here after reading 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower'. Love you Charlie<3

Never has a book left such an impression on me...

[FiftyMorrisAthens]

@LoganLermanLover1991 How old were you when you read it? I have never heard of this book before and was thinking about getting it from the library. When I looked up its availability, I noticed that it was from the Teen section. I'm 26 and was just wondering if the tone of the book will be too "childish" for someone my age. Any info from you or anyone else is greatly appreciated

[KylieLautner]

@FiftyMorrisAthens It's was actually in the teen section? Well it does take place in High School, but I think all ages will enjoy this book. It's wonderful. I really hope you decide to read this book, I think every person can relate to it.

[lavitroladeldiablo]

@FiftyMorrisAthens If youw want, there is a film bassed on that novel, search it...

[christinek8]

@FiftyMorrisAthens Don't worry; it is in no way childish. I think you'd enjoy it.

[saranghaemj2108]

Searched for this song because of the book 'The Perks of being a Wallflower'. I was curious. :) I FEEL INFINITE.

[sydneyiscoolerthanu]

@saranghaemj2108 SAMEE!! i'm reading it right now, and decdied to go listen to the song.

[FunnyChicx12]

Nellis <3

[Rammstein9317]

[SteakDoll]

I keep listening to this on repeat..

[IFILMNNJ]

this song remings me of my grandma...i love you...r.i.p

[xJustLovelyMe]

Im here because of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

[EmperorsNewnewGroove]

@xJustLovelyMe Same here.

[milostortbutt]

This song is like a goodbye letter from a very,very dear good friend I recently lost. So sad! I miss him so much. I have to believe he is indeed in a far better pace. he has to be....he must be..Danny I LOVE you I know somehow you can hear me? suzie q

[XxKierraBearXx]

Im so happy the perks of being a wallflower is becoming a movie it is my favorite book.

I feel infinite.

[TheButtisnail]

@XxKierraBearXx It is? Hell yeah! You just saved my day, thanks! 

[Rammstein9317]

@XxKierraBearXx ITS BECOMMING A MOVIE?!!!? WHEN?!!

[bigforsquids]

@Rammstein9317 They don't have an official release date yet, but I heard something about this September.

[XxKierraBearXx]

@Rammstein9317 some time this year Logan merman is going to play charlie and emma watson is going to play sam

[unloved221]

@XxKierraBearXx realy???

[Rammstein9317]

@XxKierraBearXx really!! oh cool im totally looking forward to seeing the movie altho using a brittish actor from "Harry Potter" as sam doesnt seem so exciting. i dont think Emma Watson fits "Sam" so much but still, either way i still cant wait to see it.

[KendyKoo]

"It's not the same unless you're driving to your first real party, and you're sitting in the middle seat of a pickup with two nice people when it starts to rain."

[MaaaarrJ]

@SonicTheUnicorn1 SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT CHARLIE,SERIOSULY SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CUNTS,CHARLIE IS A FUCKING MADE UP CHARACTER,FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Avreuc]

@MaaaarrJ Bro like what the fuck is your problem... You high or something?

[Phleeeb]

to die, to sleep; no more, but by a sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to; 'tis a consumation devoutly to be wished

[morgasmic101]

I feel infinite

[KatyJoyh]

This song keeps finding its way back into my life, first when i went through a bit of an emilie autumn phase then again when my friend dragged me to see suckerpunch and it became my faourite movie (this being the best song in the movie) and then again when the same friend bought me a book about a wallflower, i just end up listening to it so much <3

[sharsharzzz]

Stop arguing about The Perks of Being a Wallflower and enjoy the music.

[JennyStupidHead]

Uhm , Charlie was NOT gay nor bisexual and Sam didn't think so either.

Charlie dated MaryBeth because he couldn't be with Sam but not in a revenge way but to try to ease it for himself. & Also because he didn't see any harm to it , he thought she was nice and so he went for it.

Another thing , I am pretty sure Patrick and Charlie kiss more than once because Patrick was hurt and was seeking comfort and Charlie let him .

[Madelen914]

One word: repeat!

[mLovelady30]

thegoodteacher(dot)com

[dacramps11]

Thanks for this but no matter what it makes me cry all night long:)

[UNITEWAD]

@dacramps11  Me Too! Peace. > DJ.

[meganconner108]

I felt infinite.

[FuzzBallFrost]

the autumn film. oh i loved that book

[citoyennedumonde0]

If one day I decide to leave the world I would definitely do it listening to them

[Cataskisince07]

I am about a third of the way through that book and i cannot understand why they banned it. Maybe because it can actually help someone figure out how life works, and the awkwardness through adolescence.

[davidson2004fatboy]

Morrissey, what a GENIUS in song writing.

[wendyvince]

@davidson2004fatboy Dont forget Johnny Marr. He wrote the music/melody.They compliment each other! :)

[acciopandas]

Chbosky wrote the book and created the characters- it is fictional. Still a brilliant book though, and this song beautiful.

[havabighed]

@acciopandas No... Charlie is real and he wrote the book and Steven Chbosky is an actor who does all of Charlie's public appearances.

[HereComesTehFunk]

This is England '88 anyone?

[Boylabel]

@HereComesTehFunk Haha yup!

[aaronplumridgeisafag]

@HereComesTehFunk  Nah mate, good music taste

[jessica7993xx]

hauntingly beautiful 

[DropDeadXXi]

I must admit, the book brought me to listen to this and I actually loved it. :)

[havabighed]

Charlie didnt actually pick out those songs, what he did was go around the school asking various people from various social groups what their favorite songs were..... the book is only about 70%-80% true story.

[TheBatmanfreak101]

@havabighed how would you know?

[havabighed]

@TheBatmanfreak101 ;-)

[havabighed]

@TheBatmanfreak101 Most people dont realize that the fictional character isnt Charlie.... the fictional character is Stephen Chbosky, hes an actor who did the public appearances for Charlie while he went to college and pursued his degree.

MTV had a contest in 1999 to pay for your college tuition if you could write a book.... follow the facts man.

[AllAroundTheSun]

@havabighed bollocks

[havabighed]

@AllAroundTheSun not bollocks... fact.... I know this for a *fact*.

[havabighed]

@AllAroundTheSun Stephen Chbosky isnt a real person... the guy who you see on the internet when you type in his name is a hired actor.... After Charlie wrote the perks, he didnt want fame to get in the way of his studies in college... so he requested that MTV hire someone.

[havabighed]

@AllAroundTheSun the truth is stranger than fiction.... trust me.

[havabighed]

@TheBatmanfreak101

Its a true story..... Charlie hints that its a true story right at the beginning of the book.

"I wont use their real names"... all of the characters in the book are real people, but... he took several people he knew and turned them into actual characters.

The only person in the book who uses his real name is Charlie.

[havabighed]

@TheBatmanfreak101 Its just a fact, ok?

Charlie is real and he wrote the book... he isnt a fictional character.... hes a real person, but he exactly like how he is in the book... hes just really really really similar to how he is in the book.

[yasminexlutalica]

I've loved this song for years, but I only ever read the perks a few months ago. When I saw the reference, it just really made me smile.

[jimmyb8]

There is another world

There is a better world

There must be

[posypity]

this song was recommended to me on a bright sunny day by a Smith's fan

after we had been discussing Sylvia Plath. it certainly helped to bring those

lovely clouds back[i'm only happy when i'm miserable]

[malabaster513]

i am now infinite, myself 

[Coolestkylie]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower made me listen to this song. Thank you so much, Charlie! :)

[belsxoxo]

i love Perks of Being a Wallflower, it's one of my favorites. This song.... it's chillingly beautiful. I love how the Mix Tape was everything Charlie didn't say. He expresses it through this, and it's awesome.

[bradbz12]

Charlie's dead aunt raped him just fyi

[stevobath]

@bradbz12 PLOT KILLER!

[AineIsUnderTheStairs]

Uhm... Revolution by Jennifer Donnelyy brought me here...

[MrDeathRays]

December 9, 2011 Dear Charlie,

Thank you for letting me feel infinite.

Love Always,

Friend

[xILambyIx]

Who's Charlie

[RahImaMummieUnicorn]

@xILambyIx The main charater from the perks of being a wallflower

[xILambyIx]

@RahImaMummieUnicorn What's that

[RahImaMummieUnicorn]

@xILambyIx A book.

[xILambyIx]

@RahImaMummieUnicorn Who reads books any more

[sregineee]

Charlie brought me Here.

[AdrenalineBattery]

I don't know why, but ever since I first heard this song, I can't get to sleep without thinking it in my mind.

[Sadukar7thLegion]

Just love the song for what it is...

[lovelyfreakss]

This song. This freaking song. I'm in love with it since I've read The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. It's just so perfect. I can understand how Charlie was feeling about everything.

[xalasar]

F**k Aunt Helen

[xalasar]

Fuck Aunt Helen.

[MusicPDG123]

Dear Charlie,

(:)

Sincerely, Me

[havabighed]

@MusicPDG123 what does (:) mean?

[Hottstuffninjah]

Thank you Charlie.

[EBOUE1234]

The perks of being a wall flower led to me listening to this song again and its reminded me how much I love the smiths

[fozrotten]

there should not be an ad in front of this, it totally takes me out the mood.

[lkjhb1]

@fozrotten i know youtube started this on november 23 we should start a youtube ad riot

[lmfaoxLEAH]

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

[cuethesolareclipsee]

Shouldn't you be happy that more people know about the band, not fighting about how you found it?

Enjoy the music.

[alternativebistrot]

none can see how i fell listening smiths... i think be in heaven, just perfect music, divine, absolute best in the universe..

It's a
