The Smiths - Accept Yourself

[th3oceanBlu]

<- still learning to accept myself, for heaven's sake , :P

[Vokab27]

This song speaks to me on so many levels.

[Daim0th]

I agree, this is the essence of anti-suicide.

[Libstergirl74]

Morrissey is so cool! This song is so true!

[pankkke]

♥ Marr´s guitar arpeggios ♥

[EdandevilTim]

is the question I have been asking my self and I presume many others have as well. But Moz sings it in the best way possible

[PassageOfChrist]

This song, is absolutely incredible.

[ULTRAMAGGOT666]

Whoever disliked this clearly has no taste in music.

[th3oceanBlu]

time is against me now..

[rasec1400]

But I once had a dream and it never came true and time is against me now =(

[betogomez]

mimimimimimiimi Mary Help!

[RiverW70]

This song has given me confidence, I am coming out, I am lesbian and proud

[Zfagster]

@RiverW70 Hell yeah !xD

[VoelligHarmlos]

@RiverW70 Igitt

[gottaacatchemall]

This song really did save my life.

[GeorgiaW97]

@gottaacatchemall your not the only one

[Ule289]

great video!

[PassageOfChrist]

Morrissey, this is your best song. Yes, just you Morrissey.. You wrote it.

[brightlights456X]

Why did I not know any but "This Charming Man in my teenage years".

In my 20's now...not too late

[andrewkenworthy]

perfect blend of guitar and lyrics..absolutely gem of a song..and so so so so so so so so so so true..my life summed up in a song..how i hate my inner voice..tormenter of me..

[plathmann]

everyday you must say.............oooohhh how do I feel about my shoes?

[chikenboby]

sweet

[TheMmk567]

Morrissey & Marr: IMMORTAL

[TheLeo2021]

i opened my eyes and i accepted i am a huge fan of the smiths

[Ashley19721]

Amazing lyrics

[melitosse]

I've heard that Marr and Moz loved girls groups from the 60's. The riff sounds a bit like "Love is like an Itching in my Heart" of the Supremes.

[scunion73]

I am aware of myself and I have hope...thank you Stephen!

[nathar40]

This song inspired me to get off drugs. Morrissey`s music is very spiritually uplifting. I meditate to this music very often.

[danvazquez07]

this is my new favorite smiths song. the guitar line he plays in the chorus is so empowering, makes me feel great when i'm down and feel useless. this is a brilliant song

[davidmar43]

How do I feel about my shoes?

[MarcusCharlieDuffy]

"Others conquered love, but i ran"

[GizmoLico]

one of their best songs

[Jgotmilk555]

@aprofitgmail Right on! Definitely been feeling better and better in my skin!!!

[drh3010]

Always thought this one was underated

[kevhar12]

This is gonna be the song that I will use for inspiration to make the changes in my life that I`ve feared to all my life. This song has opened my eyes and I want to do something about my life before it`s over. Morrissey, "You have given me the courage to finally find out who I really am. Thanks for the boost of encouragement. "I hear you loud and clear." That`s what I get out of this song. A new life.

[th3oceanBlu]

what can i say. still amazing. time is against us eh. but time wont ever wipe out the meaning of these songs

[AkaiVash]

This is my life right now word for word in song format, "when will you accept your life, the one that you hate"... just like in their song rubber ring this a song that saved my life

[Xcorgi]

I can't help but think that Morrissey helped prevent alot of suicides with this song.

[bhops001]

@Xcorgi I can categorically state he helped prevent one. 

[maggsayy]

@Xcorgi if i ever at some point in the future feel suicidal i can imagine this being the song that saves me

[JayeJayeBinks]

For heaven's sake...

[inga6777]

inspiring:)

[inga6777]

it´s only human.....but brilliant. I also love my misery...(it belongs to me, too..)-even this may disturb sometimes some people here (I thought it before...nothing new...)-why do I even have always to be happy -only -and even always to laugh? For whom?--Strange....this is what I thought (even before I listened to this wonderful song)This has omething to do with my life, too.So I love it. Wonderful voice and music, lyrics...forever.----I LOVE IT!!!! Forever.

[hernan385]

How do I feel about my shoes?

[gnarcomply]

everyone should listen to the smiths like seriously why dont they

[tncl85]

I honestly don't know what I would do without the music of The Smiths. Morrissey so eloqently puts to song, exactly what I feel and am going through. It gives my emotions a strange validation to know that he had experienced the same thing, and so have all the kindred spirits (Smiths fans) who also identify with these songs.

[zweiosterei]

What?!! Morrissey is talking about my life again. When is he going to stop?!!

[benigerb]

@zweiosterei Ahaha, I know the feeling, too...pretty impressive. That's what real art is all about I guess

[kealo68]

this reminds me of hours and hours listening in my bedroom .. marvelous stuff .. Morrissey is a pure living legend .. don't ya think?

[fatpizzaman]

The intro sounds like it's been ripped off from "Love Will Keep Us Together" by The Captain & Tenille. :)

[lmsypj]

@fatpizzaman good observation. not old enought to know but checked it out.

[YourPrivateStalker]

Once, I went to my room, turned off all the lights, played this on my radio, sat in the corner and cried.

Damn, that felt good.

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

"dreams have a knack of just not coming true"

[JESUSr00lz]

Were your intentions in making this video to give me a seizure?

[danielmferrero]

Cannot believe I haven't heard this song before

[stevemindickson]

Oh who and what to blame

[Cool93Cat]

The Smiths just changed people how they think in there daily lifes,even though it takes long or longer than that there songs still made a impact and changed us adolescents,wow i wish i could make my ex relize stuff and change her state of mind but it's late and she wasnt a smith fan but she loved "THERE IS A LIGHT THAT WILL NEVER GOES OUT" but thank you Morrissey haha you make me write like you but darker!!!

[teamleader1234]

Great tune and great vid......cheers for sharing 18andover.

[Vokab27]

Love the lyrics to this song!

[damienmetalwind]

How many papers did i write in college with this on the headphones? It kept me sane. Thanks fellas.

[andrewkenworthy]

sums up my life and thoughts exactly right now.

[Helena0171]

Morrissey, your truely a life saver

[MrWesker1982]

i love the guitar in this song :)

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

this song they should play to people who are going to commit suicide , proof that morrisey saves more lives than your average doctor

[fatpizzaman]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE agreed!

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@fatpizzaman thanks dude

[mrsskagtrendy]

[Orchestrarocks101]

[PlaceOfOrigin]

[LVJohnnybloodx]

[mysticalHeir]

anything is hard to find when you will not open your eyes... good thing that i opened my eyes to the reality that i am gay ; )

[1013637]

@mysticalHeir o:

[QueenOfSpades2012]

A lyric genius, had the pleasure of seeing him live.

[zeppelinrock]

Wow...this song just answered all my questions

[andycasdmx]

only just heard the smiths music over the last year, and im worried that ive reached the nirvana of music- wtf is there to aim for now!!!

[Elcore]

@andycasdmx Chaining Johnny Marr and Morrissey in your basement, forcing them to play for you, keeping them alive on a drip of vitimins and water, keeping their ankles broken, scrawling 'Dreams have a nack of just not coming true' on the wall to remind them that escape is impossible?

[NBadovinac]

@Elcore Oh you devil you...how truly, terribly romantic.

[Vincentocrippling]

@andycasdmx Heya mate,,try Neil young,hes such a awsome singer/song writer,,,you know the smiths is my fav band,,,but neil young i think got the most tuching lyrics,,well to be honest mossa and neil young as simmilar on my rate:) tho the smiths got cool fangy music,,neil young can be so sad,like the queen is dead album..i just say that,,for those who seachs those will find :p

[andycasdmx]

@Vincentocrippling yeah thanks mate, ill have a listen

[lemypie]

I only just found out about this song today while reading a smiths biography, but it's already a favourite XD

[karakiriflight]

awesome ! , the sounds , his voice , the lyrics , all that enters in your heart instantaneitywhe you push the ''play'' botton

[ElCiervoVulnerado]

Jesus christ, why does Morrissey know me better than anyone else in my life?

[kmeliss]

Me too.

[antiirony]

@ElCiervoVulnerado Morrissey knows Jesus Christ better than you do.

[nunzioforpresident]

@ElCiervoVulnerado best comment ,i can relate ,so true..

[smaxit]

The software program responsible for this video montage makes me dizzy- hang the VJ ! ; )

[18andover]

srry but that the only video software program i have haha

[smaxit]

haha... well, it's more than I've done to show my appreciation, so cheers !

[sneakydogz1]

@18andover just wondering, but did you slow the song down? the version i own is much faster

[Jgotmilk555]

When I was depressed, a year ago, I would listen to this song over and over again. It made me feel better. Yes, life sucks and it's hard. But, I like The Smiths encouragement of accepting yourself and living your life no matter how hard it gets sometimes. This song is comforting to me.

[drumjoey]

@Jgotmilk555 That is the same story for me too! I am comforted by this song.

[fpsoft1]

@Jgotmilk555 - I agree with you.

[18andover]

so true! this would be the theme song to my life if i had to choose one haha

[exoskeletonsz]

@Jgotmilk555

Sorry to hear that you have a bad life.

[aprofitgmail]

@Jgotmilk555 i believe it so much, i have a tattoo of it "accept yourself" on my forearm. you're going to always be with you, so cut yourself some slack and accept who you are and how you think until you think differently... :)

[danvazquez07]

@Jgotmilk555 fuck yeah man

[kiki9chan]

i love that the smiths actually sing about things that relate to peoples lives!

[bargainmom]

When will you accept your life...the one that you hate?

[weedipikia]

The effects in this video are a bit much on the eyes. Nice pictures though.

[moonmaidens]

[Aviva2121]

Probably my favourite Smiths song.

[ultramegaunknown]

5*

Long live the Smiths!!

[khirosSS]

one of those tracks when the lyrics hit you like a sledgehammer in the face... beautiful

[kimoxxx]

Totally :)

[andrewkenworthy]

what a shame that it ended the way it did,, sure things go their course,,but for idols like these they left a bad taste in the mouths of the fans,,court cases, and bickering about royalties and money,,what a shame,,best songs of the eighties though.
