to tell you the truth morrissey never liked britain thats why he moved away and lives in los angeles. he's only loved touring in north america or mexico. cheers. pass the tea brits.
good video but they murdered an otherwise perfect song. And yes, before you get the satisfaction of telling me this yourselves, I am a stuck-up Brit who want certain shit American bands to stop covering, and making a mess of, great songs.
Personally, I think DCFC did this song way better than The Smiths. Now I know all you Brits and Smiths-lovers and whatnot will rise up out of the woodworks and attempt to tell me how wrong I am and how it's people like me who ruin good music like The Smiths'. Well too bad, I say. I like it better, I'm not forcing you to listen to it. Cool video, too. I love the beat at the beginning and end, too. Very catchy.
Maybe it's because I heard this version first, I'm not British, I'm not from the 80's, and I'm a Death Cab fan, not a Smiths fan. But I think they really took a good song and added a twist to modernize it and make it better.
Lol this version sucks. Replace Marr's complex chiming appeggios with genric power chords = shit. The guitarist cannot even bother to do the complete intro or replace it with his own interpretation (which I would have prefered to see).
Fan's of this version probably do not know what a scale is, and thus cannot appreciate the ornate sonic interplay of the orginal Smiths version. Also the singer sucks, theres no feeeling there apart from a depressed emo-like tinge.
dude i have absolutely no a clue what a scale is apart from ot is somethin my sister plays on her saxamophone apparently :D but i can still tell you that this cover is posibly the worst peice of shit i have ever heard of ever !! haha it is shocking :D xx

They should turn down the volume of the guitars a bit.
I think they did the song justice, but you can't beat The Smiths' rendition... its a classic.

Great video by the way.
