Half A Person • The Smiths

[HouseofETL]

16 clumsy and shy has basically taken over twitter

[1888gp]

why do people watch a video on here then dislike it.....if ur a smiths fan u shouldnt dislike anything......i bet theres some sad little guy who sits in his bedroom in his mums house and just dislikes things on youtube.....spreading his misery on others

[tropicalpimp]

@1888gp I love The Smiths...but not EVERY song they've made is great. So if a person clicks 'dislike' on a song they thought was going to be awesome,they are "spreading misery on others"? I just wanted to point out how fuckin stupid that sounds. Go listen to a "We Are The World" record because in REAL life, there is negative and positive. One cannot exist without the other. Why not respect peoples opinions and quit spreading mindless jiberish on others? Or are you too miserable? lol

[1888gp]

@tropicalpimp of course every song they done was not great.....but i still wouldnt hit the dislike button.....u musta been one of the dislikes if uv took the time to write that load of guff

[KxK96]

btw my Favourite is Asleep ( so sad...) Oscillate wildly or Girl afraid... or heaven knows im miserable now or Barbarism begins.... IDK THEYRE ALL GOOD xDD haha

[KxK96]

i tought he said I went to london and DIED x) , my bad.

[djc741]

This is probably my favorite Smiths song, if it's possible to pick a favorite. Thanks for uploading the right version

[eraseragenda]

hey this really sucks

[Schumitastic]

Probably my favourite Smiths song along with The Queen Is Dead, There Is A Light, and Reel Around The Fountain.... fuck it, they're actually all as great as one another.

[Apuyina]

@Schumitastic Yep, same here my friend.

[bmbenblog]

@Schumitastic agreed...what is it with this song? honesty?

[purcelleuropean]

@Schumitastic great,but different,that s what is so awesome about the smiths

[Hot80s]

I love/hate Morrissey so Two thumbs up!

[tropicalpimp]

I wish this song was longer. I dont ever want it to end.

[andymill32]

Also the flip of the Shoplifters of the World Unite 7". Honestly its probably their best song ever, just bought it on vinyl, glorious.

[falconsfan717]

the smiths= genius. period.

[tropicalpimp]

What a beautiful song. LOVE it.

[scunion73]

He is human just like me...God love him

[YugNotsnhoj]

"Do you have a vacancy for a back-scrubber?"

[MauricioAE1]

Morrissey had a very unusual way to compose, he was great, a very unique style.

[MrThomasdrewsen]

This song wasn't even on a ''real'' album... They were THAT good

[xneilp]

pure fuckin genius

[TREV617]

pure genius.

[signeponge]

She was left behind, and sour

And she wrote to me, equally dour

She said : «In the days when you were

Hopelessly poor I just liked you more...»

[TheOhfack]

"And if you have five seconds to spare Then I'll tell you the story of my life" Genius lyrics beaten only by The Smiths song there is a light that never goes out which contains:- "And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine". Just SO uplifting. Lol.

[Hurrisson]

that's the story of my life

[Maryval99]

The soundtrack of my youth:) I just get the lyrics now... Great poetry.

[riderwithani]

I bought this on vinyl when it came out over 20 years ago, and haven't heard this song in years! thanks for posting!! ( I really need a turntable!)

[MrBarronator]

When are we going to get another pop group that can write a song of this quality?

Nobody comes anywhere close at the moment and The Smiths managed it time and time again.

[joydivision808]

@MrBarronator never see a group like the smiths again

[lagunabeachlad]

This song, like other Smiths, songs, have gotten me through allot of dark times in downtown San Francisco, my home, the place of my birth....

[clive66swimworldwide]

simply the greatest band of all time

[TransmissionFilms]

Half a Person, is my favorite the Smiths song. In fact HaP is the song I can relate too the most in my own life. The Smiths/Morrisey have a great way of explaining and relating life in their songs. Whenever I have a crush (Which is rare because I'm usually a Morrisey type asexual lol) I listen to this song and cry because I know it will only ever be that a crush.

[OscarPered]

This is the best song ever written

[plouni17]

I did never really hear about their music...I LOVE IT!!!

[0795oreilly]

My favourite Smiths song. Why doesn't it get played on the radio more often? Only ever heard it once. The picture is good as well. Much prefer pictures of The Smiths, even though he looks a bit awkward, than I do Morrissey on his solo record covers.

[Splinterrrr]

@0795oreilly

Be glad you hear a Smiths song on the radio once in a while! Here in Holland The Smiths never became big and has never been recognized. Never even one song in a Top 1000 of all time. Thank god I know them though!!

[PlaceOfOrigin]

@Splinterrrr And yet the Megadisc pressings are highly sought after.

[PearCiderRules]

Fucking Groupon advert for burgers on a Smiths video, scum

[S3AANNN]

Story of MY life

[Iberotimuka]

every time I hear this everything is ok again

[bethwoodie]

Doesn't get much better than this !!!!!!!

[STEADYREDARMY]

Manchesters Best

[BruceBBaldwin100]

The best.

[Yickbob]

Another B-side (along with Unloveable, Asleep, London, etc) that most bands couldn't touch with their best A-side. All I can say is thank heavens records had 2 sides back then... .

[wiljjHeigl]

at least there are 0 people with a di** up their a**. MY [second] FAVOURITE SMITHS' SONG! (first being "There is a Light That Never Goes Out")

[ntn777]

thats the problem of being a huge Smiths fan, is that every other band can't get even close of them!

[jacobonegro13]

"16 clumsy and shy that's the story of my life" THE SMITHS is the best band ever

[skint0n0minted]

'And if you have five seconds to spare, I'll tell you the story of my life' - it's funny, witty and genius all in one.

[pedwell]

"I said i like it here can i stay?"

[STEADYREDARMY]

sorry full up try again next week.

[lerrin]

this was the first Smiths song i listened to in high school on a trip to Toronto... i fell in love with them .

[krono965]

This one of my all time favourite smiths songs along with Bigmouth Strikes Again, Frankly Mr Shankly, The Queen is Dead, Stop Me if you Think you've Heard this Before and of course THIS NIGHT HAS OPENED MY EYES. A person who hates the smiths is not a human being.

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@krono965 you need to be more than human to be morrissey

[ayicarandang]

one of my fav morrisey!!!

[TruthNugget85]

"do you have a vacancy for a backscrubber?"

[ornamentiful]

Adorabile per sempre!

[aleaguilo]

the best song of the smiths !!!!!!!!!

[aoyarcen]

i never been in machester, but i dream walking the streets listen this brilliant song.

that will be the story of my life...

[mozzperu]

@aoyarcen me too my friend some day I will walk around MADCHESTER and I will be listening to HALF A PERSON and I am sure I will BREAK DOWN like when I heard that song in 2000 in his first visit to souht america

[aoyarcen]

@mozzperu saludos desde chile para perú estimado( a). La visita a Latinoamerica fue genial. ese 2000 fue inoilvidable. y su visita en el 2004 tambien fue de lo mejor.

saludos! :)

[kilosdevero]

love this song ! so much!

[SkydanceShinigami]

Oh Mr. Morrisey, your words are like balm for my tattered soul... <3

[IchbinSchalker]

@SkydanceShinigami (Lol) I just thought amazing your collocation! Moz is indeed the healer of the sores of our souls.

[adamsmithz]

This is the real shit...Best thing ever...

[MG3AEH]

Epicly romantic lyrics, littered with laconic whitt & subtle humour and the irristable tones and wrythms of Marrs genius gutair playing, what more could you possibly want from a band...!

[siddleride]

awesome

[jadam112]

"i like it here, can I stay?"

[paulgfostersr]

one of the all time greatest songs period

[Revolution927]

why literally waste your time remarking on "how awful" a song is? find something better to occupy your time with. sure we all have different tastes in music but why not face your attention into music you actually enjoy. grow up.

and this is a very good song.

[ivanaishere]

"why literally waste your time remarking on "how awful" a song is?"

Because people are allowed to have an opinion that disagrees with the majority?Your quote is a two edged sword because I could easily turn it around and say why waste time praising something that everyone else is too? There's no point in exclaiming "I love this song!!" by 1000x people either.

"sure we all have different tastes in music ...."

Exactly.

[happyjoe4ever]

Great Great Song! To all those who don't get it you don't have a soul!`

[burns46824]

"Call me morbid; call me pale. I've spent six years on your trail."

Glorious.

[hottie4709]

You all got it 1/2 right, and 1/2 wrong- some of the most beuatiful MUSIC ever, but some of the most depressing lyrics EVER! And who cares about gay or not! "Can't we all just get along"!?!?!

[LukeSupertramp]

I agree, it's depressing. But that's how The Smiths are, eh? At least their music. And if you don't like it, don't watch it.

[jlbles123]

Fucking genius my friends. If you dont like it dont view it.

[Roggiedodgie]

@jlbles123 I do like it, but boy thet Morrissey fella is morbid and pale

[slideonronnie]

@jlbles123 Johnny Marr is genius of all time!

[TruthAxe]

How gay and depressing.

[sexxpistolsgroupie]

Thankyou! Fucking hell, finally someone who agrees with my opinion on the Smith's!

Bloody awful

[HieloNocturno]

Ahmm, no se, la cancion esa, me despierta un sentimiento(?), naa, no se que decir, arriba tu canal(?), haha nos vemos(?) o__o
