  • Perfect instrumental for the soundtrack of a movie...

  • 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!!!

  • thanks for upload this one : D

    the name is not awesome like the music are

  • Comment removed

  • OMG I've NEVER heard this track!! It's SO incredible!!! I love you Johnny Marr!!

  • LOVE those swells at the beginning!

  • Fantastic gem from the boys. This baby should be in the soundtrack of a film. Maybe a driving scene. David Lynch, are you listening?

  • I have this on the "Bigmouth" single, but I wonder why this wasn't on Louder Than Bombs...?

  • I remember buying this album as an import at Tower Records back in 2006 when Tower Records was still around. Those were the days :-)

  • Strong musical parallels to the Draize Train

  • 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.

  • Well... this is a new one for me...

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • "The Right Stuff"...great song....this an awesome instrumental. Johnny Marr a great guitarist.

  • ive been listening to morrissey and the smiths for over 20 years now and im

    hearing new songs all the time * tks youtube !!

    i love the smiths and all their fans :)

  • This track almost sounds like an alternate version of How Soon is Now if you just follow the guitar at parts

  • 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.

  • Morrissey changes everything!

  • Great to hear this song.. Johnny Marr eventually re-worked the song w Bryan Ferry and became "The Right Stuff" off the CD 'Bete Noire'

  • WOW!! GREAT MUSIC

  • It´s unbelievable what has produced great great music for this tiny island (UK) and hopefully will bring more !

    I wish, I would be born there!

  • i would listen to this song a million times and never fade. johnny marr he just captures your imagination with his playing pure genius LEGEND

  • Not sure if this on any album, although it is, I'm sure, a B side of a 12" single, possibly Bigmouth....

  • @6DoKtoR3 It's on the The Sound of the Smiths, the 2CD issue - great CD, has some of the rarer B-sides on it.

  • a smiths instrumental ? wow. I first, for me...and I've been listening to them for over 25 years

  • @mrpentium - You've never heard 'Oscillate Wildly'? Top track, that one!

  • @mrpentium So you've missed 'The Draize Train' and 'Oscillate Wildly', then? Dig 'em out, they're superb, as you'd expect....

  • 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?"

  • @Lunatic4Bizcas im sure this was a b side,maybe on bigmouth or around that time.

  • This is really fuckign boring.

  • @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

  • @PvMikhail lol yeah I totally can't comprehend why anyone would listen to the same 5 notes in sequence because theyre played by a band they like.

  • @qubixrube piss off !!

  • 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. ;)

  • class

  • bryan ferry's Right Stuff is this song,,,,,,,,,,,

  • This was on the B-side to the EP of "Bigmouth Strikes Again." RTT 192.This was not exclusive to "The World Won't Listen."

  • @framodcole

    Correct.

  • this song is crap

  • why?

  • @hooligun240 then.why´d.ya.click.on.a.smith­s.song....ya.shithead

  • @hooligun240 Thank you for the plebeian manifestation of your superb barbarism, but it was a really unnecessary move

    Marr and Rourke are gods

  • 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 HAVE A VINIL CALLED, "SO THIS IS AMERICA"

    AND IT HAS A SHITLOAD OF BONUS TRACKS INCLUDING THIS SONG, MANY SOUND CHECKS AND THE DRAIZE TRAIN. IT'S A DOUBLE VINIL.

    HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

  • @usriel1782: Humm...this should be rare vinil.

  • @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

  • It was only available on the cassette format of The World Won`t Listen but you can now get it on The Sound Of The Smiths compilation.

  • From what I understand it is exclusive to The World Won't Listen

  • @noelks1980 I have it on "the smiths" compilation.

  • @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 It's also on "Sound of the Smiths"

  • @noelks1980 I HAVE A VINIL CALLED, "SO THIS IS AMERICA"

    AND IT HAS A SHITLOAD OF BONUS TRACKS INCLUDING THIS SONG, MANY SOUND CHECKS AND THE DRAIZE TRAIN. IT'S A DOUBLE VINIL.

    HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

  • @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!

  • @noelks1980 I had the vinyl 12" version of big mouth strikes again.this was the b-track.

    very happy with the one who posted this,cos i abandoned vinyl;-)

  • @noelks1980

    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)

  • @noelks1980 It was the B-side of Bigmouth Strikes Again

  • Johnny Marr at his melodic best. I'm #5,887 on 11/27/09. Five stars for this (did they make anything less than five stars...ever?)

  • Well the band had 4 stars ;)

  • great.

  • will the people of britain ever see or hear a better band again in their lives? i doubt it very much. the greatest band ever by a country mile.

  • @mikeyFTP you are so right mate there will never be a band again as good as the smiths!

  • Great tune. The Smith still and shall forever rule.

  • Andy Rourke 1 of the best bass players was robed by Mozz & marr.

    Money Changes Everything..........

  • Andy Rourke ftw. One of the best bass lines of all time!

  • OMG haven't heard this gem for a long while!

  • oh my gosh this is almost better than oscillate wildly

  • the right stuff!

  • Buenisima me encanta esta canción la guitarra habla y dice que es de the smiths ese acorde característico de JM

  • 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.

  • @Fratoue the beatles are shite compared to the smiths, problem is everybody see the beatles as GOD when they really fuckin' weren't.

  • @alexanduhDanziggg Now now, The Beatles were/are amazing. The Smiths are as well. Honestly, it's hard to get enough of either.

  • @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.

  • @Crazycupmuffin i love the beatles, but compared to smiths ? Nuh uh mate

  • Another great Marr instrumental was the theme tune of the late 80s British TV programme 'APB'

  • Morrissey refused to write lyrics for this didn't he?

  • Yes. However, Bryan Ferry did & this later was re-released (I believe with a new musical arrangement) as "The Right Stuff".

  • @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?

  • @MisAnnThorpe

    who knows

    perhaps it's too funky, morrissey went through a period of hating dance music

  • Although I do seem to have paid for finding the song by losing mi abilti to spel.

  • When you here this you realise that the Smith's unique sound was as much about Marr as Morrissey.

    It is all good, I have been looking for this tune for ages. I had it on a tape version of The World Won't Listen but it disapeared of the CD version.

  • nice the smiths are really cool right:)
