The Smiths - Back To The Old House (BBC Session)

[Silvergoldstarfish]

And it's even more painful to walk on red hot coals whilst sipping a bloody mary

[eqmaverickpoet]

If i could know what it was like for a heart to break due to being disregarded and then left alone in shame, i'd only have to hear his words or reflect on my life. I don't know which is sadder....to hear it him sing his sadness or lived something like it and cry. /sigh

[tncl85]

This version is so beautiful. Gets me every time.

[adamacote]

Happy Birthday Moz!!

[MrLassyboy]

most beautifully haunting song ever written

[ManOWHOREify]

Can't stop listening to this song. The lyrics are so touching and I can relate to them too well and it makes me even more depressed then I am.

[777Cheshire]

Great song from the greatest band ever.

[horse69outside]

this song reminds me of tangerine by led zeppelin.

[horse69outside]

my "old house" was #2, and i come on to this video and i am viewer number 22,222......

man, that is some fucked up shit.

[Fedward300]

I can't even begin to describe how this song makes me feel...

[amtrotec2]

@Fedward300: Thank you liked it!

[barneysixx]

I feel like my heart is being stabbed whenever I hear this song

its just so melancholy

the line: "and you never knew how much I really liked you, because I never even told you, oh and I meant too..." makes me feel like crying in public

[justdavester]

This has to be my all time favourite acoustic song! :-)

[manelsl29]

it's amazing how much you can relate to a music, to someone else's feelings... even if your thoughts are something other than the intended meaning of the song

[Schumitastic]

Words can't describe how beautiful this is.

[Pandaman69X0xo]

such a sad song ;_; memories 

[oneilexpress]

Johnny Marr what a magician. 

[MediAndClaire]

whoa,@hanspeterpitsch and @Telfer81 stop it,eh no need for silly arguements!

you both have the love of the smiths in common right?no need to get angry.

and actually,the sound of music is set in austria,but your ignorance is excused.

[79casual]

Wish i could go back to my old house so many great memories, an i would love to revisit my past as a kid, they were the best days of my life

[kmo20101]

This is the first time I have heard this version and I think it is actually better than the one from Louder Than Bombs.

[yrureadingthisname]

2:10 and on sends chills down my spine.

[Stumper716]

How many time will the Moz say something I wish I had said first?

[hanspeterpitsch]

I love this song, both versions.

But to me it's almost kinda funny cause me and my family moved when I was like 17.

What's funny about that you ask? Well, we moved to my ex grandmas house(R.I.P), which is right next to our old house ;)

I once sat down in my garden, smoked a good... cigarette, listened to both versions and looked over at the old house, thinking about all the memories I have from it.

What a beautiful moment that was :)

[Telfer81]

@hanspeterpitsch when you were 17 or like 17? whats like 17? and i honestly think nobody cares about your memoirs. you sound like the kind of person i'd like to beat up.

[hanspeterpitsch]

@Telfer81 Like 17 means I don't know exactly. Is that not how you say that? If not, sorry. and I honestly think nobody cares about your opinion on my memoirs.

Sooo you beat people up because they have memories and like to share them when they get into the mood by listening to such a great song? Do you even listen to the smiths? You know, I don't force you to read my comment, let alone take the time to respond.

[Telfer81]

@hanspeterpitsch i'm sorry, it just seemed very corny and American. and i don't really beat people up, i just sit in my dark bedroom crying and writing Wilde-esque poetry with my peacock quill. please accept my apology.

[hanspeterpitsch]

@Telfer81 I guess you're being sarcastic. And I'm from europe actually

[Telfer81]

@hanspeterpitsch it's called humour, Mancunian humour i believe. are you German per chance?

[hanspeterpitsch]

@Telfer81 Sounded more like mocking. I'm from Switzerland

[Telfer81]

@hanspeterpitsch wonderful! i love the sound of music, watches and army knives!

[hanspeterpitsch]

@Telfer81 what music? And you frogt chocolate to complete the ultimate cliché!

[Telfer81]

@hanspeterpitsch i may be wrong, but 'the sound of music' vonn trapps, nazi's, singing family, julie andrews. was that not set in switzerland? if i'm wrng excuse my ignorance.

[natschavez]

beautifull

[TheMarto87]

the line ' and you never knew, how much i really liked you, cause i never even told you...oh and i meant to', god it gets me everytime, makes me think of my first g/f. x

[bluemeany]

Man, I still live in the "old House" it's pretty sad sometimes. I wish I could move.

[paul45862]

Sigh..

[londonemski]

I couldn't believe this when I heard it back in the day. Marr's sophisticated artistry and Morrissey's gorgeous, manly vocal. Streets ahead of everyone then - and now (including themselves, alas). Love them both forever anyway.

[1984THB]

Check out my version, I amplified a shitty guitar through my Fender Deluxe with reverb and the use of a chorus pedal. Tell me what you think.

[karziflora]

I wish i could revisit my past and fix things that went wrong in the furture.....but i never will...i never will...IT"S IMPOSSIBLE!!

LOVE U ROURKEY<3

[ladymoonlight38]

how many of us are to scared to revisit the past? what lyrics.

[Blastbarnacle]

This song is perfect and I am lucky to be alive to hear it.

[logix555]

yeh i prefer the john peel versions of alot of smiths songs

[FoxyFreddie]

Not sure why your comment got dissed I'm with you logix555

[logix555]

they are probably noobs who think john peel is an artist and actually covered them lol!

[Coppertunes]

I was just about to reply saying just that !!! Then I noticed you replied yourself.

[tomacitos31]

a sing your life...from huacho-peru...tomas campos de la rosa

[tomacitos31]

a sing your life from huacho-peru

[davestany]

legendary.

[jf3mo]

love this version

[amtrotec2]

Thanks for your opinion. I like both versions.But,as you mentioned,the Moz's voice really is better this version(acoustic).

[locknkcol]

Thanks for uploading- one of their best tracks IMO, I think the acoustic guitar lets Moz's voice shine through better than the Louder Than Bombs version
