How Soon is Now? - The Smiths

[blewblewaway]

Oh this song is probably the most intelligent song ever written in its simplicity. How Soon Is Now is probably their best song because it nails down their message and feeling in such an exact way. I am such a great fan born in 1970. I don't listen to The Smith much but I used to when I was young. Love Them. Adore them. Danish woman.

[rushnlusk]

Don't stare at the video, it hypnotises you man!!!!!!

[XxBlueRosexX100x]

born in the late 1990's but lovin the oldies :D

[RandomHero5677]

Being a 16 year old and in love with this in this day and age is good, right?

[CssOrZ]

@RandomHero5677 Nope age has nothing to do with have a fucking awesome taste in music. :) i'm 18 and i'll be 6 feet under before i stop loving the The Smiths

[CssOrZ]

@CssOrZ @RandomHero5677 Having* an* Awful grammar sorry.

[amgineco]

[blackmamba900]

[ele143]

freaking annoying video...

[ACERAMGAD]

cool!

[AlitRama]

Why is this song longer than the other one?

[kisielek666718]

@AlitRama I guess the one you're referring to is the radio edit (that cuts it to the "appropriate" 3:30 range). It lacks the instrumental parts, a verse and a chorus.

[thefungarian]

I know The Smiths.

I don't know nor care what Charmed is.

[minelle00]

Awesome... just awesome..!!!!!!!!! <3

[AndSkyLigth]

Please, this song deserves some decent top comment.

[dnbjunky04]

This was on The Craft before it was on charmed assholes.

[coccolenz]

People will still be listening to the Smiths until the day the U.S blows the world up.

[DiannaRulezD00d]

Fuck, I love his voice.

[jcrurubio]

brings back memories from high school

[Annie1962]

@butterfy26 this is the original...

[dancezakdance]

[bumpyjason]

did not give 2 fucks! they are legends that 1000s of bands could only ever dream of being as good as.

[PixelAmbitions]

[slaneslau]

well for some reason this tune releases the right fluids from head. im forced to agree with it.

[sshaxy]

is this song about masturbation? lol

[TheJKVW]

Always  Loved CHARMED.

[MegaBanjaluka]

Still puts hairs up on the back of my neck this song, and I will be 55 next birthday, simply one of the most awesome piece of rock music ever devised!!!

[elchistosoII]

OMG this is music i was finding something diferent in music and this is YES THIS IS THAT FELLING IS LIKE SOMEONE PUNCH YOUR STOMACH

[dougnick781]

THIS MAKE ME REMEMBER ""CHARMED" I LOVE THIS SERIE♥

[Brieepy]

This song is so amazing. I only just realized that they used this song in the theme show for Charmed. Blows my mind a little.

[Mustachhe]

I am 18 and i like this woooooooooooooooooooo nooooooooooooooo one cares!!!!!!!!

[Sherpaful]

i literally just heard of these guys when they played on an independent radio station. Damn, this is a good song.

[gazzah54]

[muslimmetalman]

I'm 165 and I love this

[BinLatchy]

So ahead of it's time when released mid 80's

[thejoj96]

[Mendln]

@thejoj96 waffles

[ringlord2000]

The Smiths supplied the music - excellent. You supplied an endless (or so it seemed) loop of visual (and not even a mesmerisingly striking image) which made me want to click off to something else well before halfway. What is so "FilmProjectttttttttt" about that? Come on man, be a little more creative!

[lauraPsyducK]

I love how "Love My Way" is the featured video. perfect follow up to this song! 

[LimeGuy101]

@lauraPsyducK winning

[lauraPsyducK]

@LimeGuy101 :)

[Kurtney4594]

@p00pasauras we do all know it, or at least should all know it, hes openly admitted it.

[bumpyjason]

@p00pasauras and who the fuck are you supposed to be?

[elvispresley718]

he's so gay and his evenings not complete without some meat in the seat

[moonsong66]

@elvispresley718 you know life is to short for negativity. Just enoy the music and if you don't like it go to a different page. Sexuality has nothing to do with music.

[gemeos1235]

Ladies and gentleman, The Smiths!

[Wolstenholmie]

Lol, I can't believe this is the Charmed theme song. I was wondering where I'd heard it before...

[holagirl2723]

dude..i feel like i've been lifted into the sky.blew up into tiny little pieces, flying freely through the world.then i will crash into a volcanoe and burn to a gas and i will float to space and dance with tthe stars and for some odd reason this song will play and i will fall back to earth on a shooting star a make a giant crater and feel all fuzzy insde.then i will become a diamond and a wizard will find me and turn me into a human and offer me awsomme weed to smoke and listen to this song.

[djscotty1111]

@holagirl2723 ;) Put those words into a "Dune" type video Let me know when it is done Cheers!

[SlapShotBW23]

Ear pollution 

[PhoenixGoddess1983]

I love this song!

[Brenkins]

Morrisey the poet of Manchester meets Johnny Marr and some of the best songs ever are written but this is my personal favourite, I can't be sure but it sounds like the snare drum was recorded backwards then laid over a standard snare it gives marrs haunting riffs the foundation they need to impact so many people.....

[ChaosDynamics]

My favourite part is when it goes like "Waka-waka-waka-neeeaww."

[madjulie100]

The magnificence of Morrissey and Marr.

[AskZ12]

brings me back to smallville, love this band.

[Kenebutch]

I've been listening to this song since I was a Sperm Cell swimming in my Daddy's scrotum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaxaMatt]

@Kenebutch Seriously?

Top Comment wannabe.

[john587474]

this is the WORST SONG OF ALL TIME!!! SO OVERATED

[chikenboby]

@john587474 you just cant take this much genius

[lkjhb1]

@john587474 FUCK YOU GO LISTEN TO YOUR RAP CRAP BITCH!!!!!!!!!

[zeldaxcallxofxduty]

@john587474 The fuck..do you know what music is?

[kairen1608]

I still wanna know what effects Johnny was using on the opening (and throughout).

1 of my top 10 tunes of all time.

Genius.

[SuperMaledict]

im here because i love Charmed xD

[HeatTheBeat1]

TATU <33 not the smiths :|

[sn9696]

22 people out of 395,957 didnt like this song !

[sitvisjes]

1 of the best songs of the 80's i reckon

[phsycospacezilla]

@sitvisjes agreed, best song smiths ever made

[TheStephanie336]

I love many songs, and its always hard to choose my top favorites..

But this song is one of my favorite songs of all times..

[triplecrosser90]

The best music is being made right now. Sorry it's not conveniently on the radio like all your cheesy classic shit.

[PopCulture20]

@triplecrosser90  No the best music IS NOT MADE RIGHT NOW DUMBASS!!! LOL Who the fuck refers to Kesha, Katy Perry & Rihanna as classic? ONLY A LOSER LIKE YOU

[triplecrosser90]

@PopCulture20 lol. I would love to know what crap you listen to. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones? Probably. You are retarded in assuming that music has to be on the radio to make the cut. Go kill yourself. You know zero about music.

[triplecrosser90]

@PopCulture20 Did you even bother to read my comment before opening your mouth? I was referring to idiots like you that think Pink Floyd is any better than that garbage. The only people that would even take Kesha, Katy Perry, and Rhianna seriously enough to criticize or compare them, are retards. Fucking idiot.

[triplecrosser90]

@PopCulture20 "I'm fourteen and I listen to The Beatles. I'm so fucking cool, but kids my age just don't understand. They are too busy listening to Lil Wayne, and don't even know what real music is. I wish I was alive back then." lol That's you.

[mellah027]

@triplecrosser90 I'm exactly the same. Beatles, The Shins, The Smiths, Noah and the whale, Snow patrol, Coldplay, and so many more.They're making my life all the more easier. -_-

[triplecrosser90]

@mellah027 Weakness. Other than The Beatles and The Smiths, you should find new music. People are doing shit to actually push boundaries of music, but can't even support themselves. Don't give money to groups like Coldplay and The Shins. They are the furthest thing from artists, and their record companies are the ones making all the money. It's all marketing. Not that The Beatles are innocent of that, but they didn't know any better. I am aware of personal preferences, but seriously...

[Halqion]

@triplecrosser90 Okay then, I would really like to know what kind of music you listen to (aside from the Beatles and the Smiths probably). Just out of curiosity! ;-)

[triplecrosser90]

The more badass music becomes, the more it is intentionally hidden from tardboys like yourself.

[MrHilda06]

hayyyy que buena rola en seriooooo me encantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[studas2011]

Mesmerising

[omichron420]

Milk milk lemonade around the corner fudge is made. I like this song, btw.

[YTMize]

@phyllisannm Vive Morrissey

[Mr061099]

i hate my generation, i'm twelve years old.

THIS IS REAL MUSIC, LADY GAGA CAN SUCK A COCK

[Crozd13]

@Mr061099 nobody gives a fuck how old u are...

[Mr061099]

@Crozd13 WHAT I mean is that my generation IS HORRIBLE MUSIC

[Nomez420]

@Mr061099

Twelve year olds shouldn't be saying Lady Gaga….

[Mr061099]

@Nomez420 they should be saying in your opinion?

[ASDMarauder007]

@Mr061099 jesus fucking christ have you not heard of this thing called alt and indie music. Kids like you should be castrated, since you guys are mentally retarded, "ooh i'm 12, i listen to old music, therefore if my calculations are right, then i'm far superior then anyone in this land" like give me a fucking break. Pick up a music magazine, looking around on the internet (instead of making stupid comments).

[Mr061099]

@ASDMarauder007 my friend, I see you do not understand what I mean.

I mean only that the music of today does not compare to the one before.

I added my age as an extra, you can live with that?

[Mr061099]

@ASDMarauder007 clear that I heard about bands like radiohead, nirvana, foo fighters, white stripes, and so on.

I'm not only by the popularity of bands like The Smiths, there are also great bands of the 70s, 90s, 60s, and so on. As pearl jam, dire straits, guns n roses, the stone roses, alice in chains, The Who, etc..

You can live without bothering for my comment a fucking minute?

[ASDMarauder007]

@Mr061099 If you were to judge music of an era by what's popular, then i bet 80's should just be WHAM and Madonna and fucking Motley Crue, let's just forget about smiths, REM, the cure. Have you not heard of bands like, white stripes, the strokes, radiohead, foo fighters, john frusciante, modest mouse (BTW Johnny Marr played on one of their albums), NIRVANA, Cage The Elephant. Fucking cunt

[ASDMarauder007]

@Mr061099 YOUNG THE GIANT, MGMT

[shinigamixheartless]

@Mr061099 i wish all twelve year olds had your mentality.

[merocket]

Fucking incredible. I had no idea what to expect as I've only ever head one Smiths song, but this is amazing.

[SPKcentral]

Can you guess the single thing that the NASA astronauts failed to do during the last shuttle launch? To play this damn song!

[spikeasaur1]

When I was a kid I used to think the lyrics were "I am the sound, in the air" hahaha.

[StorybookDisneyDoll]

@spikeasaur1 lol I was worse, I thought "I am the sun, I am the air," hehe

[spikeasaur1]

@StorybookDisneyDoll Haha at least we didn't sing it live and use our own lyrics huh!

[BurgundyCouture]

I am the son... and the heirrrrrr...

[killeelyboi]

one of the greatest ever pieces of music??....oh that would be a YES

[loveallsounds]

[777kingofkings777]

u shut ur mouth, how can u say, i go about things the wrong way. i am human and i need to be loved just like everybody else does

[egyptianminor]

Arguably The Smiths' best song ever.

[rochey1010]

"When you say it's gonna happen "now"

Well, when exactly do you mean ?

See I've already waited too long

And all my hope is gone"

<33 My fav part...Someone called this 'the Scary Train' song ....LMFAO now all i can think of with the weeeeeeeeooooooooooooo is a train...but the guitar riff makes this whole song epic...I'm seriously in love with it...It's sexy/dark/infectious \o/

[tox0tes]

@rochey1010 my favorite part is "there's a club and you've got to go. you could meet somebody who really loves you. so you go and you stand on your own. and you leave on your own. and you go home. and you cry and you want to die." LOL who even does that!?? What a loser! You go to clubs to meet someone, not to just be a miserable lonely loser... god some people...

[rochey1010]

@tox0tes LMFAO at this whole comment...You win at life \o/

[jared3304]

@tox0tes you clearly don't understand the feelings of the artist and us "losers". It's people like you that make them feel like losers and want to die.

[jasminmcgaughey]

@tox0tes I've actually done that haha

[777kingofkings777]

@tox0tes motherfucker do u know what it takes to be Morrissey or any star ? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU ???!?!@?@#$?#$?^$%?

[baked4211]

fuck glee

[navojoARISTOCRAT]

brings back a lot of memories when i was a kid...

[kokomango23]

@navojoARISTOCRAT Funny, my girls will probably say the same thing.... "brings back memories when I was a kid".... You have to share the greats, with young and old!!!

[navojoARISTOCRAT]

@kokomango23

couldn't phrase it any better...

[sfseals]

Saw the Smiths perform How Soon is Now live in July of 1986 at Kingswood ampitheatre, near Toronto. Many mind-blowing things happened that night at the show but one clear memory was hearing them doing a sound check for this song from outside in the parking lot while waiting for the gates to open- and hearing those eerie oscillating guitar sounds that define the song wafting over the walls..

[raoniandrighetti]

I hope that image isn't representing that part 'i am the son and the heir' like, the sun and the air

[Keneniah75]

Awesome song

perfect video for the song :)

[bube0789]

stop talking abt the glee fags no mather if they do a fcking version of this song it never wont be like this master piece!!!

[MrDataCode]

Wow Glee did this song?! How on earth does Glee relate to Smiths' lyrics or tune? Must've of been a joke or something.

On the other hand, Charmed is a great TV series.

[xtremedude100]

@MrDataCode Seems a bit too... dark, for Glee. I doubt they covered it.

[Canny911]

@MrDataCode lol, what? You bag on Glee, and then say Charmed is a great series? That's like saying 9 guys fucking 10 guys is really gay, but 8 guys fucking 9 guys is okay.

[MrDataCode]

@Canny911 Look man I grew up watching the Charmed series and I honestly can say I enjoyed it. Hell you saying you don't want to see 3 hot girls running round beating up bad guys? It does make me wonder... why your so intrested in this "gay fucking" business.

[Canny911]

@MrDataCode What are you trying to say? That there's something wrong with gay people? Shame on you, man. It's 2011. not 1960. Fag.
