The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (take 1) NEW bootleg 2010

[garetholdman]

Let's be honest. Morrissey is a prick. You don't have to like the guy to like his music. I love his music but I cant stand him. It really peeved me off that I couldn't get a burger at one of his shows because of his militant vegetarianism.

I like the clean sound of this one. Although you can still hear violins they are not as loud as the album version.

[Maclibertine]

Lovely.

I used to sing this song to my ex (hopefully future) girlfriend... and in the ending i always sang "there's a light in your eyes that never goes out", now, when i first heard this version i felt, wordless, astonished...and sad...

[SilentLD]

I can see why this was not the final release - not so polished - when you've listened to the original as many times as I have it is very clear why. Its always good hearing alternate versions especially in the way the song is sung - slight intonation, breathing and timing variations and of course "want to" is pronounced "wanna" - obviously an afterthought by Morrissey who was dead against sounding american!

This song is awesome! But I like the spanish version better haha :D

[Gary190tube]

@lenatwitcher hmmmmmm.....

[castros3222]

I Just don't have the words to describe Morrissey's vocals and the music by Johnny, Mike, and Andy. Ok, I found one...mesmerizing!

[thequeenizdead]

Wow. That's all I can say!!! Almost as good as the first time!!!

[prango]

I like the different ending vocal, the 'There's a light/there's a light/there's a li-ight' bit...

[ar4216]

@prango Yeah, Morrissey sings, "There's a light in your eyes that never goes out" That part about "in your eyes", that's not in the original is it? I don't recall it is.

[barryshostakovitch]

Yes, The Very Best Of from 2001. But that's only some tracks. What about the rest? A band member perhaps? Maybe Morrissey & Marr should pull their fingers out this year and get together a box set.

[barryshostakovitch]

But who leaked this???

[metallicblauauto]

@barryshostakovitch

"Supposedly the orignal source is a promo CD for a box set/ best of that never happened. "
