Probably the most heart breaking / touching love song lyric ever written - people see no worth in you, you took a child and made him old, "REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN" but i do... "I DO".... you made me old "childhood friend who he loves" and sees worth wonderful rendition thank you
Yeah, me too. I got into the Smith's at a weird time, around 1998 before the revived interest. I picked up "Singles" at my local mall, not knowing what to expect but hoping for something different than teen pop garbage. After a few songs worth of feeling perplexed I burst into laughter at the chorus of children singing "Hang the DJ". I had not only found a quality alternative but a critical one. Been hooked ever since :)
I was completely prepared to hate you, this and everything else about this. And I walked away not just converted, but awed. Damn. Soooo sweet: you, this and everything about this. :)
Please, please do a full version of this. To better that, record an MP3 of it. Set up a paypal account and I'd happily pay for it, this is the most beautiful cover of this song I have ever heard.
Holy sheeit. That is right up there with Eluedy's Back To The Old House as the best Smiths cover on Youtube. I've heard hundreds of Smiths covers, and this is right up there. You've got a fantastic voice. Would you do Back To The Old House for us?
Interesting start. You play a few keys, stop look away, perhaps thinking "I should straighten up" and then launch into the song. I'd also like to know what you were thinking before you started singing, "15 minutes with you", just before that line your eyebrow curled and you lit up like a butterfly.
I agree. I wish there were more videos of you singing, or more songs on your myspace. I really enjoy your music a lot. It really sticks with me. If you ever make an album I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Is it creepy that I message this on here? haha I hope not! My name is Sarah, I know your sister casually; she may know who I am if you mention it. But anyways, I really love your music.
I have to admit, being a long, long time Smiths fan, this is better than the original, in it's own way. You have a natural talent. I'm Jealous. You should be thankful to God.
well thank you. I'm very flattered although the original will always be tops on my list. Moz articulates complex emotional stuff in a totally relatable way. Very special.
Never heard this song before but it's beautiful and haunting, thanks mainly to your voice floating over this melody so effortlessly. Can I make a request ... how about some Jeff Buckley?
I really love your interpretation. From a real lover of that song. It's great to see the Smiths being re-lived in this way. I hope the M himself sees this.
very sweet. if only you could have finished it...or at least to my favorite part when morrissey sings: "i dreamt about you last night...and i fell out of bed twice. you can pin and mount me like a butterfly."

It should be illegal for middle-class kids to continue the fashionable trend of singing smiths songs in their folk-ditsy flowery fashion.
