The Smiths - Asleep (Music Video)

[lizzieswailyukulele]

hhmmm i think a girls voice would be slightly amainzg added....maybee oooh emily browning? ah yeppp thats good <3 sucker punch <3 x

[likecloudsthatfly]

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

[dmizzy918]

I remember laying on the carpet of my bedroom tears streaming down my cheeks and this song had a calming beauty for me. Yet 15 years later I find that same soothing feeling when I hear it once more

[aliceishappyvibrancy]

Re-reading Perks..never going to get bored of this. Special book. Special song. Love you Charlie.

[annab4131]

i love you charlie



[ThisCitySlept]

I love you Charlie. So much. Thank you.

[yaraa101]

I think I like this song just as much as Charlie does.

[Ainara456]

The Perks of Being A Wall Flower, I owe you my happiness! :)

[MyHayaa]

this song made me cry

sometimes life is just to hard that death seems more mercy than living

but we have to stand up and face it

[jirdimaster]

I think this song affects me more than any other, it accompanies a very difficult period of my life and at the time i felt more than anything that i just wanted to go to sleep and never wake up.

[aliceishappyvibrancy]

@jirdimaster I'm so glad that you made it through that.

[SuperChivasLover]

Life brought me here. Chill....

[PitbeastA]

ya know what brought me here??..... BEING A SMITHS FAN. Not a dumb book

[19codeman93]

@PitbeastA You know, fan or not, It's good music that compliments an amazing book. Let's all just enjoy it.

[colourfulkarolina]

@PitbeastA the book isn't dumb ... u should read it :)

[PitbeastA]

@colourfulkarolina I have. In my opinion it wasn't good. I personally think that this song has more meaning in its self than the book did, so i get annoyed when on all the videos for this song all the comments are about the book or Charlie rather than about the music or the band. But I'm not trying to be rude I'm just stating what i think

[colourfulkarolina]

@PitbeastA Fair enough. I just thought you were one of those really ignorant fools that made horrible comments about things they haven't tried yet, but since you did then that's your opinion and people should respect you for it.

[lokitagaby17]

@PitbeastA Thank you! I could not agree with you more. The song deserves to have comments on the song itself (or at least the band) instead of some overrated book.

[Lyrawiccan]

@PitbeastA I guess it makes sense...I'm a fan of the book and of this song so...I kind of agree XD

[berangawise]

@PitbeastA the book isn't dumb. you should be happy The Smiths are getting more fans before of your so-called "dumb" book. I loved the book, you should read it and I bet you'll have your opinion changed.

[ktar007]

Comic Sans.

[KatatInTheHat]

The Perks of being a Wall Flower brought me here, best book ever! Thanks, Charlie! <3

[familiarstranger95]

I've never found a song that fits so perfectly with a book, but this is it and it's amazing :')

[potterfanatic8]

wow! Music really is so powerful.

[HerrKenny]

This is England 88 !!!!!

[RiceChickenPea123]

DIS SONG MAKIN ME CRY COZ SHE LEFT ME, BETTY BBZ Y U LEAVE ME?! :'(

[YoungPrune]

I hadn't heard this song before I read the book, and it clicks perfectly with it now that I've heard it.

[rellethias]

This song breaks my heart.

[rellethias]

I came here because of "The Perks of Being a Wall Flower." Love you Charlie.

[aliceishappyvibrancy]

'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.'

I see the photograph, Charlie.

[rellethias]

@aliceishappyvibrancy that..ah. That book. Changed my life.

[aliceishappyvibrancy]

@rellethias Same. I finished it yesterday, and I feel so..understood? for the first time ever. I love it so, so much.

[Imperfecktionist]

I don't care about whatever controversy this may cause, but I heard Emily Browning's cover of this. I felt like I needed to find the original artist's version. This is really good honestly. I prefer her version, but this is the inspiration so I must give it credit. If you haven't already done it, go watch Sucker Punch!!!

[randomturtle73]

it's about suicide, isn't it?

[Hkgorgeous]

is this song on the the perks of being a wallflower movie :o?

[Ryfr21]

@Hkgorgeous EXACTLY THIS SONG. OMG. OMG. ;)

[greenrootedplanet]

she kissed his penis. lol

[13georgiaa]

I love The Smiths so much. When I read 'The Perks' I couldn't believe that they mentioned this song... <3

[Ryfr21]

@13georgiaa YES YES YESSSSSSS.

[keiththel34f]

fuck all of you are you're shitty teen bullshit books

[keiththel34f]

@megcjohnson umad

[littlefire231]

@keiththel34f

lol speak English. or at least a coherent sentence

[AineIsUnderTheStairs]

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly... <3

[Arianne2n]

Oh my. I get on here because I want to know what this song sounds like because I read about it in Perks of Being a Wallflower and here I see everybody talking about it. The song it beautiful! I should probably be thankful to SHepen Chbosky for that. I'm also going to try to read a few books Charlie talks about in the book!

[chubaldoful]

catcher in the rye, peter pan, to kill a mocking bird.. hahahaha... charlie is so special! wish i have afriend like him....

[br712]

Ulubiona piosenka Charliego z "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower"!

[SPSGEOGRAPHY]

I've sung this to my daughter from the first day she came home from hospital - it her lullaby - she's now 7 and singers it perfectly with me. I alternated with The Chauffeur (Duran Duran) & MLK (U2); but they fell early and left the imperious Morrisey as our favorite....What Book?

[crabpeople1985]

Why are the guy's hands so freakin big? That has to be why he's so sad! You just can't do anything with hands that big!

[MrMisharos]

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER!

[TheScoreygoalgoal]

so what if they found it from a book you must have heard it somewhere first, were you a twat then? you have to hear it to have heard it x

[DayDreamAscent]

@TheScoreygoalgoal So why do people keep quoting it? Comment on the song, not on a book that has NOTHING to do with the music, the lyrics, or anything to do with the song.

[alextharrisoncc]

I found out about the book from this song. Probably the wrong way round, but it's beautiful all the same.

[MissMakeupKate]

@alextharrisoncc Ha, so did I! Went on too read it, great book.

[seth220993]

Fuck that book, good song

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower brought me here.

[717rch]

i'm going to kill myself two hours from now. i will play this song. i love everybody here

[applesauceyeah]

@717rch I really hope this is a joke

[ideasarebulletpro0f]

@717rch Don't.

[DeadlyPoisonedCandy]

@717rch Please don't.



[charityamis]

People complain about no one having good taste in music anymore, and then when someone is introduced to good music, people complain about the way they were introduced to said music. Will people never be pleased. I guess that is just human nature.

[mellah027]

~ I found this song by seeing it on one of my friends walls on Facebook. Yeah, it sounds petty. But since then I've been listening to nothing but the Smiths ever since, and I can honestly say. I'm hooked baby. -_-

[ayeeakokeeno]

Charlie brought me here.

[lozer13]

@ayeeakokeeno <3

The Perks Of Being A Wall Flower!!!! :D

[Green12a]

@solangi224 lol i was about to write that.....xD

[monkeysandhamsters]

my love of the smiths brought me here.

[LedZeppelinfanboy]

who the fuck is charlie?

[monkeysandhamsters]

@LedZeppelinfanboy a character from a book some people found this song from.

[mythicalcreature96]

Charlie brought me here.

[Katie15licious]

this song always comes out from the book " the perks of being a wallflower" :)

charlie's Favorite song 

[MsLunaLullaby]

this song actually saved me from suicide...regardless of the subject matter

[TheCharlesDanger]

I feel infinite

[dwhite130]

i heard this through my ears

[8scatterbrain8]

i still want to die

[cassayy1]

@8scatterbrain8 please don't. someone out there cares about you.

[cherryexplosion27]

@8scatterbrain8 don't, please don't. talk to someone, and if you feel like you don't have anyone i swear to god i will answer back if you want to talk or rant. it's not the answer, i promise. i know what it feels like. stay strong, xo

[lozer13]

@8scatterbrain8 Please, there is so much to live for. Just in time you will see.

[ohmygodgasm]

Good god people quit freaking about people saying they got here because of the book. The more people that know of this song and band the better, why does it matter how it happened?

[ilincacio]

this will be my funeral song.

[8scatterbrain8]

i want to die

[l1lchiller]

And in that moment, i swear we were infinite.

[perhapswtf]

<3 .

[arofluv]

This is going to be my kids lullaby.

[xKissCrissx]

Well, I heard of this through Dalton

[ricochetlaugh]

i feel like free falling......

[iMonstere]

I feel infinite.

[SeekerInTheSchy]

I'm glad so many people are willing to look up songs they hear about in books. That's how I got here.

[Scaredmushrooms]

Charlie brought me here

[Mandiefire]

This song makes you feel infinite 

[LanceUndeclared]

@IThinkMyNamesTooLong Yeah well said, because we all know Looking for Alaska is an all around better book with exactly the same concept except for the fact that the main character isnt two years old with absolutely zero concept on what life should be.

[HryPotrFreak]

c'mon guys let's comment on the actual video.

You did a good job with this. Ha I'm commenting on the 5th anniversary of you putting this up on youtube!

[hesawallflower]

I don't understand why everyone is so upset. Honestly, does the fact that someone found this song because of a book make them any lesser of a person? As if you were all the very first to ever hear a smiths song... You had to have heard it somewhere before too, or had someone tell you about it right? It's not like you were born with a full knowledge of the smiths and their entire works. The important thing is that we found it to begin with. So, please, get over yourselves.

[lozer13]

@hesawallflower I agree! Thanks to Perks I found my favorite band. I discovered real music.

[CaliforniaHP]

@hesawallflower Today is Nov. 18, 2011 and I just heard it for the first time a few days ago. LOVE this. I don't know wha the controversy is about, but I want to share this song with everyone I know now. It is so calming; peaceful.

[ILoveGreen209]

@hesawallflower U literally took the words right out of my mouth... That's exactly what I tell people when they get offended because someone heard about a song on a show, a movie, or a book.. N I'm like "Well you have to have heard it somewhere it's not like you were born knowing the song or the singer." Some people can just be so CLOSED MINDED sometimes.

[hesawallflower]

@ILoveGreen209 thank you! glad someone agrees with me.

[patalberg]

@hesawallflower Thank you. You silly little hipsters heard everything first.

[bobbydylanio]

@hesawallflower Yes but people that found the song throught listening to the band tend not to tell the motherfucking world about where they found the song, why they like the song, and when they heard the song!

[tallperson605]

BEST BOOK EVER

thanks so much charlie <3

[Nerdtrig]

@IThinkMyNamesTooLong

AMEN.

[AngelicaLibertad]

I feel infinite <3

[ninjainapocket2]

@hammiespaws13 im not sure if your being legit about this but way to spoil the book for me

[MatameVideos]

I, I miss you, José. Sing me to sleep, I don't want to wake up again and discover that you're not there. My life's ruined right now, at least make me sleep, there's no other way to relieve me from the pain.

[keiththel34f]

fuck your book about some suburban bitch

morrissey is not pleased

[plantedwishes]

the perks of being a wallflower <3 

[KaylaElizabethhBro]

I read this book three years ago, and it has like this place in my heart that cant be replaced by anything. its has helped me get through so much, just knowing im not the only one. i love this. <3

[Irikon7]

I was searching for some Smiths videos and i found this beautiful song. I read the comments here and then i discovered the Perks. I listen to it over and over again! Thanks youtube and thank you Charlie!

[ParkusMarkus]

@Irikon7 THANK YOU MORRISSEY FOR YOUR LYRICS AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND MIND.

[ginad17]

OMG STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT BOOK!!!

[letsmakemusicbaby]

Here because of Charlie/Stephen Chbosky ;)

[playingDrHorribly]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower brought me here. Very glad, because this is a good song I probably would have never heard of otherwise. xD

[Bujiraso]

Holy shit, not the only one who is here singularly because of Perks. Wow and @pobawf yes it makes me want to read it again too

[pobawf]

Makes me want to read the Perks so bad... best book ever

[KristinRawrz]

Good music brought me here.

Charlie just feels the same way.

[horseluver2509]

... Dalton? :]

[Jwetz1337]

this video is shit

[horseluver2509]

@Jwetz1337

Don't be an ass. Can you do better?

[badtimesallthetime]

I think perhaps it doesn't matter whether you ended up here because you read about the song in a book, or you heard it on the radio, or your brother told you about it, or you caught a few lines from a car driving past with it's windows down. I think what matters is that you ended up here at all.

[faalq]

@badtimesallthetime I love you.

[bandung11]

Sucker Punch anyone? <3

[mizzsoccachik666]

Charlie brought me here<3

[hesawallflower]

The best song from the best book ever! :) I just wish Charlie ended up with Sam like he should've though.

[carlotta23]

This song is one of the perks of being a wallflower.

[misslondonkia]

perks of being a wallflower I love you!

[fibonacci227]

perks of being a wallflower? yes.

[combustiblechicken]

240p.....WE MEET AGAIN O.o

[Ktsnowfairy]

What the fucking hell is Julian and Charlie???

[combustiblechicken]

@Ktsnowfairy This song is mentioned constantly in a book called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", and Charlie is the main character.

[scalperjack1]

charlie is a fucking faggot. enjoy this for the smiths, not because of some whiny adolescent douchebag

[ParthofthePigeons]

@scalperjack1 Dude quit bashing on people. People are entitled to their own opinion. I personally love the book, and have never read anything that has made me feel that way, but if you don't, you don't have to insult the book, or the people who like the book.

This song is amazing though.

[choclatebrownie23]

@scalperjack1 have you read the book? if people appreciate this amazing song because of an amazing book, let them, don't be an asshole

[JakeTheHunn]

Thumbs up if Perks sent you here.

[Haz3l3n]

Oh my god, Jules. I can't believe you used a Smiths song- I love them..

[MsFinnishCupcake]

I cried my eyes out when Julian sang this

[insomniaofinsanity]

Honestly, I believe I got here because of something else, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was (and no, it wasn't Dalton. Dalton brought me here the second time). Hum. It's quite a nice video, though. Bit rough, but heartfelt, all the same.

[iLoVeThErAiNXX]

Logan knows and Everything hurts

[NennaeL]

Oh my fuck.

Julian, my heart fucking breaks for you.

[deniisetoorquaato04]

oh my Jogan heart <3

[mashmellowstrawberry]

I hear people are here because of Charlie.

I'm here because of Dalton.

[stefsensei21]

thx charlie, I do feel Infinite!!!

[MrMusicSweden]

I love this song, it's so beautiful despite the lyrics.

I've just published my own version. Hope you like it :)

Greetings from Sweden

[MissLittleA13]

It's amazing how one song can change your whole life and make you feel...infinite <3

[TheHairofTime]

Have heard pretty much all of their stuff, but just heard this one for the first time. Woooow.

[ihp0ts]

WTF! So this is the voice that RICO BLANCO has been copying all these years!!! what a cheat that guy, he copies melodies, styles and MANNER OF SINGING! GEEEZZZZZ

[andreea5678]

i feel depressed.

[tootsiePOP745]

@andreea5678 haha. this song makes me feel depressed too. like some sort of melancholy

[adfill7]

Ew. Comic sans.

[gergaginflopple]

@adfill7

COMIIIIIC SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNSSSSSS­SSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jbarber82]

@gergaginflopple haha, i think i'm the only person on earth that actually likes this font.

[gergaginflopple]

@jbarber82

Haha, it's a Cyanide and Happiness thing. I could really care less what the font is like. XD

[MrsFruitHippie]

I just started The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's beautiful so far. I've already cried. Especially the line "you accept the love you think you deserve". That hurt deep...

[jungsbodyguard]

@hammiespaws13 Might check it out. What's the connection to this song?

[beano090593]

@jungsbodyguard I haven't finished it yet so I might be wrong. There's not really a connection to the story, but the main character keeps mentioning it's great.

[henryxswim]

FEELING INFINITE!!!!! thanks Charlie !!! 

[gigi78887]

Beautiful =')

[MorganAndNikkii]

that book literally changed my whole perspective of things.

[Audifan8595]

"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" made me realize my depression more than ever. That and "The Catcher in the Rye." Both books I read in school, and both I wrote depressing essays about that made my teacher cry and made her extremely worried about my mental health....yeaahh, I love literature.

[jeffsjuststoked]

So this is what feeling infinite is like . . .

[happyemosareawesome]

Thank you, Charlie.

[hollisbroon]

thumbs up if you came here because this song is beautiful.

[thefirstcolours]

this song is just, ugh beautiful <3

[DIOTIMARADIANTE]

Hermosisima canción!!!
