Asleep by The Smiths

[123ilovevampires]

Am I the only one that WASN'T brought here by The Perks of Being a Wallflower?

[piglatin123]

@123ilovevampires Nope, I've never heard of that book before tonight, honestly ^^;

[fillXnXdXblank]

I feel infinite, too, though I'd loved this song before reading perks.

[koolio6654]

i was listening to this while reading the poem that charlie gives to patrick. i started bawling

[krissybabes4evs]

thank you Charlie <3

[aliceishappyvibrancy]

Infinite.

[DominationChick]

This song is as beautiful as the book. ♥

[hi56pie]

Dear Charlie,

you've made me feel so infinite. Thank you so much.

love always

a friend

[DementedDolls4Life]

I worship The Smiths

[iamhermioneforever23]

Omg huge fan of Perks! this is such a beautiful song and it makes me really think about life. I can see why it was Charlie's favorite. Thank you to Stephen Chbosky....I feel infinite. Thumbs up if you share my feelings

[loobyloo42]

Where can I find a copy of the perks of being a wallflower & who is it by? I have looked on ebay.

[MrSeriousmuch]

@loobyloo42 It's by Stephen Chbosky. You should be able to find it in pretty much any bookstore online, I think.

[lizzyfizzy2]

I cried.

[em4623]

thanks charlie. This is infinite. 

[NerdsForTheWin72]

I came because of Jogan.

[NightcrawlerofR]

@NerdsForTheWin72 Oh my goodness, I came for a combination of that and Perks :D *high fives fellow Gondolier*

[RadRiardos]

This song put me to sleep...

[MsBlackparadeisdead]

He's right.I feel infinite.

[EricDeBordOFFICIAL]

The book and the song make me feel less alone.

[mylittleShinigamy]

The book had such a big impact on me so now, I can't stay away from this song. It's beautiful, sad yet it warms my heart.

[tuliplove642]

I have read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" two times already. I guess I take after Charlie in some ways, I don't like reading a book just once [:

[JillSandwichXD]

Thanks for the letters Charlie.

Hope you're doing fine.

If not, that you soon will, like you said.

[sexypotterhead]

i came here from the turner contemporary art gallery in margate, lol

[FiftyMorrisAthens]

I came here because of the movie 'Sucker Punch'. Have never read the book everyone is refering to, but will be going to the library tomorrow morning to get it. I hope I like it.

[annaleee2311]

@FiftyMorrisAthens did you like it?

[MissNerdyMush]

I don't think many people realize the meaning of this song. It is my favorite song, it makes me cry, and I loved it before I read Perks... which coincidentally is my favorite book :)

[gkjlrgnjtkgr]

i closed my eyes and i saw the picture, and i almost cried.

oh perks <3

[4eva98luvu]

"And in that moment, i swear we were infinate. love always, Charlie"

[xCassieCat]

Great song..thanks to The Perks Of Being a Wallflower for bringing me here :)

[PocketMouseNellie]

They'd better use this in the film of The Perks of Being a Wallflower.....

[ShanaenaeGrassyplace]

@PocketMouseNellie Are the MAKING a movie? That would be awesome.

[PocketMouseNellie]

@ShanaenaeGrassyplace yeah aparently they are :D

[timelessJ316]

infinite

[unicornherder]

Jogan?

[justahufflepuff147]

@unicornherder Are you talking about C.P. Coulter's Dalton? 

[unicornherder]

@justahufflepuff147 I am, yes. :) After the last chapter I've been obsessing.

[CPJThunde]

After reading the comments about the book "The Perks of Being a Wall Flower", I have the urge to go and buy it. I love this song though :)

[gavner1997]

This song is what lead me to Perks of Being A Wallflower. An amazing book that references an amazing song. Love them both

[saraxsaraxlove]

"And all the books you've read have been read by other people. And all the songs you've loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people. and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity."

<3

[HamHogie15]

I feel infinite.

[sgtshelbs33]

I didn't listen to this until after reading Wallflower and it seems so fitting to be Charlie's favorite song...

[free2bedangerous]

Because The Perks of Being a Wallflower The Smiths are way more popular! :) I guess when they win a Grammy they will have Steph Chbosky to thank...

[cheybod]

hahah i love how i come to this song because of reading "Perks of Being a Wallflower" and everyone else is also here because of the book xD it's great. made my day, really.

[IcyAndSami]

this is a really amazing song and the perks of being a wallflower is a really amazing book

[kaswa13]

"Sam sat down and started laughing. Patrick started laughing. I started laughing. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite. Love always, Charlie" <3 

[yoggibum]

I don't know about the book, but I,m pretty sure that this is a great, great song.. I'm a bit sleepy,.my brother used to sing me to sleep, not sing but tell me a story, just to make me feel a sleep, I miss that,.I'm good, but sleepy..The Smith...one word Beautiful.....

[negativelypostive]

Am I the only person here who hasn't read that wall flower book?

[ak179iluv4e]

@negativelypostive nop :)

[cera22sela]

i finished the book last night and it feels like I lost a good friend...i don't know about you but i felt like i wanted to answer to his letters...it seemed so real

[sarahsuo]

"i swear to God We were infinite"

__Charlie

[watevrlosers]

@sarahsuo Isn't it "And in that moment, I swear, we were infinite"?

[sarahsuo]

@watevrlosers yeah i guess im not sure i liked when he wrote this or something like this

[christoferrdrewww]

@watevrlosers yeah i think that is right.

[christoferrdrewww]

im so happy right now. im reading my favorite book perks of a wall flower for the third time. i feel connected and closer to the book when i listen to this song. i really like this song. i really love charlie. i love you charlie, im so glad you made friends. im so glad sam saw the good in you. and in this moment, i just feel infinite.

[WiddleLauren]

This song is so sad, but beautiful.<3

[TiffaniAmbeer]

charlie <3

[Sannabrina]

love the song and the version of Emily Browning :)

[Tay23Faye]

In this moment I'm feeling infinite.

[wiccan2509]

i gotta say i kind of like Emily Brownings cover of this a bit better... to me it seems more haunting and pretty than just sad...

Dont get me wrong, this one is great as well!

[whyismynameinuse]

"i swear in that moment, we were infinite"

[whyismynameinuse]

perks of being a wallflower brought me here. my fave book just because it's the last one i read. <3

[ANiMay94]

I actually found this song because of the book "Revolution" :D Yay for being different from everyone else! Such a beautiful song

[EqualityThroughMusic]

I was watching a video on book recommendations and the girl said she liked "The Perks of Being A Wallflower". Boy, am I glad I saw that video.

It led me to some great music and what is now my second favourite book that I've read - and trust me, it's hard to get into my favourites.

[radioactivecakeX]

@EqualityThroughMusic What's your first favourite?

[EqualityThroughMusic]

@radioactivecakeX The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery. =) It's a lovely book but completely pointless if you don't understand it.

[HallingsaLegend]

To all you youngsters - welcome to the Smiths. Would recommend you check out "There is a light that never goes out" amongst many other fabulous tracks that the group had written & performed.

[bananaphoneXP]

@HallingsaLegend yes!! i absolutely love that track!! :) it's so beautiful!

[StrangeGuy141]

@HallingsaLegend

Fo sho.

[rikki1003]

like if you came because of The Perks of Being a Wallflower :D

[ShanaenaeGrassyplace]

@rikki1003 Best book I've ever read :)

[XscreamoXchick]

@rikki1003 thats the only reason why i looked it up.

[therealshell]

Beautiful. Fucking beautiful.

[WolfBabiez]

...who's charlie.

[lyssiebubbless]

[l3tm3chill]

[nicoleunderATTACK]

@l3tm3chill the perks of being a wallflower

[NAA5]

I read that book when it first came out. Came here cause I'm a Smiths fan.

[rmsbj]

@NAA5 good to know.

[WeRiseWithTheFallen]

Im going to put this song in a mixtape and call it "One Winter"

[JennyLovesRobootss]

Charlie brought me here also.

Good song<3

[xForeverxDayx]

It's such an amazing feeling when you read about a song in a book then come and listen to it. It becomes inifinite when you realise that there are other people who've done exactly the same thing.

[RachelReptar]

Thank you, Charlie.

[SofiaRose88]

Charlie brought me here.

& The Smiths are AHMAZING.

[fillXnXdXblank]

i heard of this song through the book revolution by jennifer donnelly, love it

[RedGhost0]

Emilie Autumn played it as awesomely as they did.

[killingbynumbers]

I also heard of this though The Perks of Being A Wallflower.

The only reason I even read it at first was because my friend told me it had RHPS in it, which is my FAVORITE MOVIE EVER. :DDD

[MizzHelena]

looving the smiths lately... this ones lovely to fall asleep to

[kangurome]

poetry

[higherhighfives]

I feel infinite.

[halfnelson28]

What a beautiful suicide note... It is what am going to use....

[halfnelson28]

What a beautiful suicide note...

[TheTatinha1983]

i don't want to wacke up on my own anymore

[Arcunum]

I wish there were people like Sam and Patrick in my school. I need them. Right now.

[chandlerjuliafarrar]

I get what Charlie meant about feeling infinite, seriously.

[cameran360]

@CARO032496

his aunty use to molest him as a child

[calliesaiyan]

and now I feel infinite.

[calliesaiyan]

@CARO032496 read it again, more carefully. I didn't get it the first time, but I think it's meant to be confusing. you just have to read it twice and think carefully on it.

[AssHatAdam]

This song makes me feel.... infinite..

[marcia26164]

hermosa cancion y video si puduera expresar con palabras cuanto amo a Steven y su musica y cuanto influyo en mi vida y mi forma de ser......la juventud de hoy no sabe , no conoce toda esta musica e historia , solo escuchan mierda sin sentido, es una lastima........

[emmmmmaay]

the perks of being a wallflower brought me here. I'm glad it did. Such a great song and book.

[pest55233]

so strange, i just finished "the perks of being a wallflower" as well :D

[faboul467]

Thank you charlie ♥

[boofreakinhoo08]

I just listened to this cause of the book. I love the book. I love Charlie. The perks of being a wallflower is awesome. And this song is great. :)

[cjames2113]

I'm reading the perks of being a wallflower now, so far its awesome. Makes me not feel so strange.

[ErukaFrogWitch]

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower-amazing book it was so good this song makes me feel ":infinite" :) ♥

[crackmyknuckle01]

wow depressing song he sounds a little suicidal but i still think morrissey is cool

[tgm5150]

not like the same style but the feeling behind the songs. like its coming from somewhere besides the person playing the instrument.

[tgm5150]

this reminds me of the song Once by van halen.

[zawxx]

@tgm5150 comparing the smiths to van halen is unforgivable. period.

[flowers526luber1]

i also heard this song by reading the book perks of being a wallflower i havent finished the book but its veryy interestinng(:

[twilightisdrug]

Charlie Sent Me.(:

[itsjustamyx3]

i heard about this song through the book The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, which is a great book. and this song is very good as well <3

[sebastianflyte07]

i don't understand how the kid is a 'wallflower'- he has a solid group of friends who take him to lots of parties, the recognition of his teacher, and he likes trendy music and books?!! most of the stuff he encounters is very mildly dysfunctional. i don't get how it's a life changing book

[twilightisdrug]

Wallflower means you stand off to the side and let people live and work around you. You don't involve yourself much, and you just want everyone else to be happy.

[minion6500]

imma use this song as part of my suicide note........

[Metorfreak98]

Found out about this song from the book "the perks of being a wallflower".

Great book... Even better song.

[nyflyer08]

@ctodap707, way to quote the book. :D great book

[LisseAM]

@arlet44 Asleep was written by Johnny Marr and Morrissey, and recorded in London in 1985. It features on the compilation albums The World Wont Listen and Louder Than Bombs, and originally appeared as the B-side to The Boy With the Thorn in His Side. originally composed (in simpler form) as a coda to Suffer Little Children.

it was only performed live once by the group (Inverness, on 1-10-1985)The song ends with a music box playing Auld Lang Syne.

[arlet44]

Somebody can help me, because I´m from mexico, and I like to much this song, but i don´t know nothig about the book that all them talk, i want to know the name and writer. thanks!!!

[ctodap707]

The Book is "The Perks of Being a Wall Flower" and the author is Stephen Chbosky

I just finished it about an Hour ago it was really good its my favorite book but my favorite book is always the last one i read so until i read another it is my favorite

[arlet44]

Thank´s soo much!!!!

I will try to read but first found the book because in mexico is dificult found this type of books.

you don´t have name of web side were I can check?

[animefansara]

@ctodap707 lol im at the beginning of the book and the guy keeps mentioning this song XD

[calliesaiyan]

@ctodap707 One of my favorite books of all time. I was brought here by it as well.

[elisavet94]

@ctodap707 charlie, the character stephen chbosky created says the very same thing in his book. that his favorite book is the last one he reads until he reads another one

[103alee]

@ctodap707 lol quoted the book right there too :P

[fullofsunshinex3]

Ah, im reading the book to. i love  itt <33

[hanman1]

From what I remeber mozz got a fair amount of stick in the press around this time and was accused of encouraging suicide.Still great song and if you want a really depressing song then look up Lydia Lunch`s Gloomy Sunday - now that takes some beating.

[fewbew6]

startin to think i should stop reading the book because I'm thinking to much

[bronteisonfire]

it does fit the book really well

wow that book is great

[LAdy143Wicc]

ii love this book..and this song.

[MistressMuffins]

Perks of being a Wallflower is my favorite book. Ever. And this song is beautiful. The two went perfectly together.

[IANisthekiddo]

im still reading the book. :"> i dont listen to my teacher anymore because im hooked with charlie.:))

[vamplamb274]

I freaking love Charlie!!! That is such a great book. I read it in like an hour and a half because i couldn't pu tit down. Then I cried when I finished it because it was over and I just loved it and then I thought i was being like Charlie and then I laughed and cried to myself. It is that good. READ IT!!!!

[killingbynumbers]

@vamplamb274 YOU ARE AWESOME.

[ATADragonofNight]

Man, you gotta love Charlie.

[shadowmusicman]

Perks like was the thing that made me second guess myself about everything.

[mexicanlover98]

This song goes with the book

"Perks of Being a Wallflower"

It's a good book:)

[music7maniac]

i love how everyone here is talking about the perks of being a wallflower, its the most amazing book ive ever read and has changed me completely, very beautiful song, thank you

[bobostrov]

i loved the book perks of being a wallflower!!

but this look likes a kind of suicide song isnt it?

[wimza12345]

what ill do.. is make a playlist (the mix tape that charlie makes for Pattrick) and ill paste the link in ever "asleep bye the smiths" video on youtube.. x

[Kazotinator]

Poor charlie!!! I love that kid!

[unfadingblue]

currently reading the book, and ...... it really does go well with it ( the song that is)

yay charlie =]

[TheCityISAtWar111]

[walle03]

this song goes so well with the entire book <3

i love the book, best book ever. it really is life changing!

good song two <3

[walkingintothewild]

i know, it actually is. its such an amazing book. and this song does go soo well with it!

[WeirdFreakyAlien]

I feel infinite.

=) this song is just.... chilling.

[13KoolKat13]

ya, i read the book for english class, it changed my life.(tis why im here) i really like the song, nice work on the vid dude

[xKarolina]

Ohhhhhhh Charlie... :]

[nonsensesomeone]

this song sounds so sad..it make me wanna cry... :\

[babydontresistme]

this song just makes me want to cry like immensely :/

[Paigenugget]

haven't finished the book yet, but had to look up the song!

love the book sooo much.

it makes me want to cry at the most random moments

[20000seconds]

I love how the majority of the comments had to do with the book 'perks of being a wallflower'... Because that's why I'm here too!

beautiful song

[OasisUnlimited]

Finished 'Wallflower'...had to find this song.

[wannabewinchester]

I think he's suicidal.

I also got the song from Perks of Being a Wallflower. Great book.

[dontuworryboutathing]

i just read perks of being a wallflower too

i had to look this up after and im so happy i did this is such a nice song

[Vickiivanity]

I also found this song because of reading perks of being a wallflower. its a very lovely song. :) x

[PANICitsMICHELLE]

I know everyone has different interpretations of this, but for some reason I get death outta the lyrics....idk. Maybe 'cuz I found this song off the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". I actually kinda like this song...even if the lyrics are depressing.

[Ju4NizK0oL]

omg! im reading "the perks of being a wallflower" and thats whyy im listening to this song too!(:

[AngelWithDirrtyFace]

Yeah... about the lyrics, I listened closely and maybeee the last bye is actually mother. It could be... I don't know for sure. But don't let that take away from the listening experience :).

[AnnaInsanityVideo]

an Amazing some by an amazing band ^^

I really wish someone would sing ME to sleep though...

It's so amazing how music can just touch your heart so mush.

[jesss5413]

perks of being a wallflower = wonderful book

this song = okay song expected better

[Laugharamallama]

haha yeah i found it from Perks of Being a Wallflower too

I don't think Chbosky was trying to say this is the best song ever, I think he was trying to show how Charlie was relating his feelings through music. Because this is exactly how he felt throughout the book.

[jesss5413]

yeeah i reread a few of the parts he talks about the song and I can see what you are saying ,

[AlexisCapri]

sakuragaarafan91 if you believe everything you read on the internet i've got 40 Nigerian Lottery wins I must send you.

[JanineRobin]

I think if you think this song is "depressing" then you've never been there. To me, it was lifesaving because I suddenly realised I wasn't the only one that felt this way.

[229095]

Exactly, Janine.

[bekieboo313]

It's awesome how books can lead you to good music, too. In Perks of Being a Wallflower I knew some of the songs, but I looked this up after I read it and it was a great song. If there is anyone who hasn't read this book you should, it's amazing, and quite moving.

[youngthanng]

perks of being a wallflower.

[makorner]

exactly lol

[sets9]

stvarno vrlo predivno ..
