The Smiths - I Don't Owe You Anything (Audio Only)

[Ubatubaize]

The Smiths was the best for my age.

[llorensl]

Their first album was their best.

[chikenboby]

whats the name of the song that goes like "im driving your girlfriend home"

[pkingkingbag]

@chikenboby driving your girlfriend home...

[atthebottom94]

This is beautifully classy "emo" music.

HA..

[kumanthon80]

i love it

[kosmischesynth]

oooh that hits the spot

[Mrgettygirl]

I remember kissing my first crush to this song in her room. After walking to her house with my parents wine pour into a water bottle. I knew the consequences but i didn't care either way... cause it was her favorite wine. I was so head over heels in love with her that i got the worst beating in my life from my parents when they found out i stole their wine. This song will always put a smile on my face

[wokshot71]

fucking awesome, fucking awesome, fucking awesome sorry for the language but it is ........ , sos

[TheVascoPaiva]

i must be crazy, but i do hear spandeau ballet's true in this song's music part, this sounds like a slower version. im not being offensive to the smiths at all, just a random remark made in a drunken hour by a very obcessive fan of them

[Natrium911]

best album.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

It's so hard to choose a favorite by The Smiths, but this is definitely in the top five.

[stevenuuu1212]

Listening to this makes me cry but I only do that because The Smiths & Morrissey Is so special to me so sad, beautiful and captures you both at your most vulnrable, no matter how old you are you can go back to The Smiths and Morrissey and it'll always help you through whatever tough times you're going through. I can't wait to see him again in June. I love you Morrissey! You are my hero. xxx

[bw3ttt]

I'm 37 and my interpretation is that he screwed it up again.. he came close but blew it again..

[moderndog1975]

@bw3ttt 36 here...you are absolutely right:)

[vetiver343]

I don't even have words.....this song is absolute brilliance and....beautiful.

[wokshot71]

Possibly the best smiths album of all time and one of the best songs on said album

[Handthatfeedzyou]

I know what will make you smile tonight

[baufuckinghaus]

I love this album.

you should never go to them

let them come to you

...just like i do

[snelltek]

BEst Smiths Album.

[shanatp]

@snelltek Yep.

[gambo3]

cant get my head around the meaning of this song could somebody help me ?

[RainJetSprinklers]

@gambo3

The protagonist walks to their lovers house but their lover is depressed and wants to stay home. The protagonist is surprised by this because most people would want to go out and have fun, it is a societal norm "For you must". Their lover was hurt by something in their relationship in the past and thus they are depressed. "I don't owe you anything, but you owe me something, repay me now" means; you hurt me, why should I go out with you? I wish you would do something sincere to make it up

[danggirl128]

i want to die.

[kosmischesynth]

audio only! That's what I like to hear, none of this slide-show crap

[ewok2]

I am looking for a song of there's. The lyrics are " I traveled north again, I traveled south again. I met a man I killed a horse, I can't help the way I feel. Is it really so strange." I have looked and can't remember the name of the song. Help please.

[mrshankly213]

@ewok2 hahha you answered your own question, Is it really so strange is what you are looking for ;)

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@ewok2 its called is it really so strange

[ActionFigureWorld]

2nd best from louder than bombs

[shadowsnonconforming]

Im still a kid at 18 years of age and fell in love with the depression of morriseys voice, being goth and all i dont know many others that listen to this, they neglected the depressed music and moved on to the death metal

[ewok2]

@shadowsnonconforming There's a lot of fans out there. I think you made the better choice. Lyrically musically and just sonically better. No need to dress grungy and daft.

[ILZ31989]

this is my #1 favorite track from their self title.

overall this album is good!!!! 

[arsan24]

This song has so much pain...awww I love it!

[arsan24]

This song is one of my ALL TIME favorite songs.

[DumbWhiteGuy27]

this band is so deep.

[osu612]

In an interview a few years back, Morrissey said that he didn't like this song.

[PlaceOfOrigin]

@osu612 And do you know why he said that? Because Mike Joyce said that its one of his favorite Smiths songs. "I will not change and i will not be nice..."

[KISStheQueenforJIMI]

I LOVE THE SMITH

One of the best bands in the world

[GianculaT]

life is never kind.

[BeyondWrittenWords]

life is indifferent

[miamormia]

I am almost 40 years old. I still listen to the smiths.

My interpretation of this song...a girl/guy being narcist. Watch out for those. Leave them while you can. Only they can change. You take care of yourself.

[jesserai]

some times they have a hard earned reason for being narcissistic, and often our biology and ethics make it too painful to leave them... neurotics and narcissists seem to find each other and get entangled, its the stuff that makes good smiths songs

[Neurotrash1982]

why would a person leave the comfort of their childish narcissism in a world like ours? more lost than gained it would appear... not just in terms of comfort but also in terms of morals and spirit. anyone read Eros and Civilization by Herbert Marcuse?

[amtrotec2]

Yes, long time. It is a great discussion. The advanced industrial society requires a technological rationality. Being successful means to adapt to the apparatus, ie, institutions, equipment and industry organizations. There is no room for human autonomy, to independence of thought, nor to the right of opposition.

[amtrotec2]

The rights and freedoms, vital factors in the rise of industrial society, lose their meaning and content of traditional, institutionalized for a time share the same fate as inclusive society. Individual freedom, in technological society, it is above all a freedom of death, absence of values, alienation of the individual and social degradation.

[amtrotec2]

Herbert Marcuse speaks of "mechanics of conformity", saying that before the meeting their own needs, the man fails to challenge the current capitalist system of consumption.

[amtrotec2]

For Marcuse, the process of emancipation will only be viable with so-called "Great Refusal", or an absolute refusal of the established way of life, which must occur through demonstrations led by the revolutionary youth, not the people. In Eros and Civilization, Mercuse addresses such protest of youth against technological society, which regulates the body and mind of humans.

[jesserai]

I've never read it, but what you've written is in tune with my heart. thank you.

[Chiru390]

@miamormia i think who speak in this song is for sure narcisist, but mainly vulnerable, he/she cant accept a refuse, the phrase u should never go to them, let them come to you just i do is a liying phrase, because he/she goes to who she/he is talking to. the song explains contradictory feelings. in pschychological language, a speach enough neurotic. ahha. however lyrics, voice and music supplemented so but so well. cool very cool song.

[xejlod]

i like this song, and nice work with your stealth techniques.

Me

[tertommy]

Stealthy

[BOBBYEVANSCAKES]

Sandie did a brilliant version !

[amtrotec2]

Actually, I liked it.

[ammoniosacca]

You knew very well was coming next....

[HandsomeDevil2001]

In my humble opinion this is definitely one of the most underrated songs of all time next to well i wonder.

[amtrotec2]

I think this album as good as "The Queen is Dead", which is considered the best of band.

[aviadmei]

And of course: "A RUSH AND A PUSH AND THE LAND IS OURS"!!!!!!!

[rufian562]

@HandsomeDevil2001 Completely agree with you and so do the other 14 people that hit the thumbs button on that.

[SmokeCheck4]

@HandsomeDevil2001 oh yeah for sure there are son many epic songs of theres this songs capture such emotion . Well i wonder is a classic for me

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@HandsomeDevil2001 I'm sorry if I already said this to you...I've been on this clip probably a dozen times,and I think I may have already said this to you at some point...I agree w/ you about this song, but "Well, I wonder" I don't think is underrated. All the Smiths fans I know rate that one pretty highly, deservedly so. But you're right: this is a gem that rarely gets mentioned. It's in my top five Smiths songs, absolutely.

[marigolds44]

@MckyMseNTarotCrds Well I wonder, and this one are definite favorites, and tarot cards are bad. KJV good.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@marigolds44 I can't think what KJV is supposed to stand for. I'm sure I'll have one of those "duh" moments when it occurs to me. I have no interest in the Tarot. My sn is a line from a song. Marigolds are nice, though. 44 is a pretty number as well; a bit redundant, and it kind of pales next to say, 83 or 14 and a half, but it's doing its own thing, so one has to respect it. Peace.

[magnetic77]

what a song!!!!!!! brilliance in songwriting

[doorstepstorm]

I'd like to hear them sing with the cranberries.

[sandeecha]

definitely in my top 3 smiths songs

[FriedGold8942]

DUDE. Morrissey and Dolores O'Riordan singing together? I'm pretty sure my head would explode.

[higgolini]

well hidden

[strawberryvendetta6]

Im glad someone uploaded this, Im sick of WMG taking our music away!

[amtrotec2]

Thanks! Do not use the videos for profit. But, unfortunately there is this policy in youtube because of the partnerships that they do.

[helengiggley]

This song is one of my daughter's earliest memories

[AttractionInAction]

Too freely on your lips, Words prematurely sad Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight.

Life is never kind

Life is never kind

Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight. : )

[arsan24]

This is the greatest Smiths song ever!!! I don't know how many times I would put on this song in my car and just drive. To me I felt like the song is about how much you would give to someone and get nothing in return but it really didn't matter. You would do it again

[billyshitcheese]

stunning

[22018]

my fav with The hand that rocks the cradle

[handsomedevil98]

yeah u can't mess with The hand that rocks the cradle, Still lookin for the TORY TATE version as I keep asking this great uploader /amtrotec2/ for itno one seems to have it the J MARR should release that album they have it, instead of all these compilations,

[Peanut4348]

This is definetly my favorite Smiths song - I agree with another youtuber that their first album has stood the test of time. I think the songs on the first album are just soaked in real emotion - more so than their later albums. It also has Charming Man on it!

[qtipsch]

Wellm the original version didn't have This Charming Man on it, it was just the europian version, and later, the CD that had This Charming Man.

I also completely agree with you that the best Smiths album, is by far The Smiths. Some say it's poorly produced, but i think it's fantastic!

[Ulmeyda08]

I love their debut, it's got a dark sinsiter undertone to it as well.

[jadedcreature]

ty for sharing this overlooked gem...

[billyshitcheese]

i know, so overlooked not even the smiths know it exists. well done you.

[amtrotec2]

Yes!

Thanks!

The Smiths is Great!
