But did you know this is the same music Bryan Ferry used to his "The Right Stuff"? Johnny Marr wrote the music and Bryan Ferry put lyrics to it. Johnny is amazing!!!
This song sounds remarkably like "The Right Stuff", from Bryan Ferry's 1988 album "Bete Noire", in which Johnny Marr plays guitar... I have it on the CD version of "Bigmouth Strikes Again"
Morrissey & Marr, two very different people and like chocolate & peanut butter, you wouldn't think that they'd go together, but they do, and the effect was and still is, in a word, lush.
check out "Right Stuff" by Bryan Ferry for a song with words... but this is cool too! I seem to recall this was a b-side to something... or on "hat full of hollow"? BTW I love that flange on the guitar I wish I knew how to do that!

Back in the day (mid-'80's) I got this off one of those 12- inch singles which had tons of great stuff on them and made tapes that people at school liked as much as the albums. Friends kept buying them from me, so I'd have to re-record myself another copy, Then sooner or later....It would happen all over again.
I always have a soft spot for The Smiths' instrumentals. This and Oscillate Wildly in particular. It was always good to really hear how well Marr and the rhythm section of Rourke and Joyce worked well together. Such great musicians - such a shame they probably won't ever play together again.
I used to have the German import CD of 'The World Won't Listen' that included this track. For the last 8 years I have been collecting vinyl and just recently purchased the lp version of 'The World Won't Listen' (Rough Trade Records) and was dismayed to see that the instrumental track was not included. Could anyone tell me if it was released as a single or as a B-Side on a 12" or 45?"
@qubixrube yeah maybe, but this music is probably a way higher standard than your level of comprehension, so please don't listen to it anymore. Stay with that indefinable noise what you consider "music", but please, stop feeling the necessity to share it on yt
been a smiths fan since hitting 'intellectual puberty' and this is a new one for me. i only found it from buying the Sound of the Smiths comp for my GF (as an education exercise u understand). Decided to keep it for myself. ;)
such a soothing tune, just makes me feel like taking a drive and playing this tune while i take the world in. its just as good as oscillate wildly but i like oscillate wildly more out of the 2. :)
what album is this song on? cus ive got the world won't listen on cd & its not on it? 1st time ive heard this song & ive been listening to the smiths for 20 years.
My CD version of "The World Won't Listen" is "made in germany" and HAS THIS TRACK. It was there that I draw. Not all versions that is, it's true. Never seen in LP as well.
ok thanks for letting me know also thanks for uploading this track just when i thought i had heard all the smiths back catalogue this great track pops up!
@amtrotec2 I agree with you. I've never heard about "So This is America" in my entire life. I think you should follow morrissey's worlds in "Shoplifters of the world unite" and 'hand it over'... Lol
@noelks1980 i know this song was on the original cassette version of 'the world wont listen'.It is the same music used in Bryan Ferry's 'the right stuff' who johnny was collaborating with at the time,much to morrissey's annoyance.
@noelks1980 dood it's on the album "Thank Your lucky Stars" but it's originally a bonus track from "The World Won't Listen" if you like this jam and you like Bryan Ferry, well then check out the song "Right Stuff" cuz it"s is this same tune only that it is on the album "Bete Noire" and bryan Ferry Sings. It is really great!
It came out in 7" single with "Bigmouth Strikes Again" in 1986. Amazing song. Instrumentals by Smiths are absolutely GREAT. All of them, No exception.
@noelks1980 It's quite strange. I have the vinil of "The World Won't listen' and this song in particular is there between "the boy with the torn in his side" and "asleep". And it's the same thing on CD.
@noelks1980 I can clear up the confusion: It was only featured on cassette copies of The World Won't Listen (see The Smiths discography in Morrissey & Marr:The Severed Alliance by Johnny Rogan)
Everything the Smiths did is infinitly better than the stuff around today. There was something so special about Morrissey and Marr as two deeply enlightended intelligent men in the one band.
@alexanduhDanziggg show some respect man. Just because you do not like the beatles doesnt mean they are shit. They had talent pouring out of them by the bucket loads. Plus Lennon/mccartney wrote dozens upon dozens of songs for other artists which became huge hits. I accept you dont like the beatles but theres no need to be ignorant.
@GriefTourist You don't say why. Was it because he felt the track was so good that his voice would only spoil it or did he consider it substandard or what?
