"But you know where you came from, you know where you're going, and you know where you belong / You said I was ill and you were not wrong." I moved around a lot as a kid and these lines mean a lot to me. Put "Nowhere Fast" beside this song and you have my entire life up until age 20.
Even with my personal associations aside -- every single friggin thing about this song is genius. One minute of Moz's lyrics is good for hours of reflection, and the music is completely beautiful. PERFECT!
@Thegreatbluecat ....been a Smiths fan since they formed and that has to be one of the best simplistic statements about the band I've read! Passion...Awe...and Truth in one raw sentence!
...but i can't beleive that u ever cared...AND SO YOU NEVER CARED! BUT THESE THINGS TAKE TIME, and i know that i'm the mose inept that ever stepped :)
i always come back to the smiths, this band was thirty years ahead of their time, how the multitudes of mislead youth need so desperately today depth of music and social identity that the smiths offered ...
you're so right mate, im 14 and everyone i know is obsessed with Hannah Montana, Black Eyed Peas and the like, it's incomprehensible to me, if they were exposed to Morrissey and The Smiths, i wonder if they'd still like that rubbish
johnny marr is effortlessly brilliant its so unfair,,easily the best band ,,probably ever if one considers them for the music of meaning they made,,one word,,quality.
wow, great vid, nice find
