I, and quite a lot of other people I'd assume, liked this song BEFORE the book. The book and the song are favored among many people so please don't bash them. Nobody is commandeering the song. Do you fully grasp the word 'commandeering'? It still belongs to The Smiths and you can still listen to it and NOT read the book or think of the book. Nobody is demanding you do and there are more songs mentioned in the book BECAUSE they are good. (continued)
@sytrue - as a fan you should be thankful that people who haven't had the privilage to hear the song get to because they heard about it in a book rather than from someone demanding they listen to some cover band who would ruin it. You like the song, I like the song, they like the song, the song is liked and if some of that comes from a writer who also adores the song then so be it. I'm thankful that others get to listen to it, and thankful a book I love mentioned a song I love.(cont-)
If you dislike the book, then why click on a video that is about it. In the title it states clearly what the video was about. I'm sorry about this rant, but you clicked 'post' without taking everything into consideration first.
BTW:How can we ruin a song that has been 'much loved song for a long time' before we 'got news of it'?A good song is not simply ruined because people who may or may not have gotten wind of it in a book,also enjoy it.It's good,or its bad.
I'm always amazed that people still comment this video after about four years. :)
I agree, the pictures do cheapen it. Around that time I had discovered the wonders of Movie Maker and had thought youtube videos would be more effective with pictures. If I redid it today, I'd just use the poems and excerpts from the book.
@sytrue I understand what you were trying to accomplish and so it's still beautiful :) loved the book and very excited for the movie - the author is screenwriting and directing so it should be AMAZING!
i'll be honest. This book was different from other books.
i loved Charlie's story and how he learned and explored.
Everything was great. It felt like the author made the reader a part of the book itself. But, what i didn't like was the way it was written. I didn't really like the fact that the author summarized things that happened between days or months. that was the only flaw, for me at least. :|
Sometimes it was aggrivating, and I definately would want more from the book, but perhaps that made it a little more effective in a way. Maybe. After reading the book its hard to imagine it any other way, and if you try it may very well be spoiled. :)
It is a great song, and I do recommend the book. :) It's sad and has its layers. Some people don't fully grasp the book without re-reading it sometimes, but worth it no matter what.
this book has pretty much been my everything since the seventh grade. to the uploader, I cannot thank you enough for this video. its like the strange familiarity and sense of being at home. this song, this poem, this book.
I cry enery time I read this poem and hear this. I met Stephen Chbosky and he said that it's his favorite poem. I think that it's mine as well. [I Feel Infinite]
@HigherPoker I don't understand where your logic is when it comes to declaring that said certain group of people are "ruining" the song just by relating it to a book. Care to explain?
@MissLondon84 the song isn't about you either. it's about whatever people want it to be. The Smiths chose to allow others to interpret their music however any of us wanted to. Chbosky used this song as a tool to help define a very emotional fictional character many people like myself hold close to their hearts. if it annoys you so much that people keep talking about the book you could easily avoid these threads all together and simply listen to the song by yourself in peace.
@jbarnett2246 then go read the book instead of boring us with it. It's been said before and it shouldn't need saying again. This song is not about that book. It never was.
If you love the book and hate the song, then you don't have to listen. If you hate the book, but love the song, then listen and don't read.
Why did you feel the need to rant on something 4 years old? To bore us with an already stated and deflected opinion? That wasn't nice of me, was it? And that will cause you to get defensive, won't it? Be mature if you don't agree, and simply continue your life without this affecting you. Love to the song and to the book.
Second of all: See a rant I recently posted for HigherPoker who didn't seem to grasp that people LIKE BOTH THE BOOK AND THE SONG! The song isn't about Charlie, it is mentioned in a book. Instead of idiotically ranting about it please just inform them of their mistake. There is no need to swear, you don't need to click on a video titled for a book just to rant about the song. You aren't doing the band any favors by being a jerk.
I first read Perks when I was in 7th grade (I'm now about to go into 11th this fall) and I can say before the book, I hated reading, now I adore it. The book not only helped me love reading, but has gotten me through some pretty shitty times over the past 4 years. Charlie, we are more similar than I thought we'd be.
Thanks for helping me figure out a few things about life.
My friend gave me this book to read and i thought it looked boring but when i started reading it i was so different and moving, its like no other book! goodjob Chbosky
Sorry, 15 year olds will do that sometimes. :) I do not think the poem will ever die though, nor will the song or the book. You still enjoy it? Do you still read the book and go 'wow' when the poem comes up? Then it is not dead. An oversensitive person who hardly cared for or grasped the poem will think so, but I do not think you are one of those people.
I was 15 and just learning to use movie maker. Sorry, and I think you did mean to make an offense in a way, because how else would I pay attention? At this point, I agree that the pictures sucked, and if I redid this video I wouldn't use them. I'm older now and surprisingly wiser than I was.
I just finished reading the book and loved it, glad my friend encouraged me to read it and am excited to see how the movie is going to turn out =) oh and the song I had to check it out ^_^
I have to say this at the risk of being shouted at but I was quite underwhelmed by The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It seemed to me like any other coming-of-age american teenage book. Having said that it did show me some good music (althougth I already knew about the Smiths) and this poem is really good. Did the author write it himself or did he borrow it form somewhere?????
When I was younger I had never seen a 'coming of age american teenage book' that involved homosexuality, molestation, drugs, alcohol, and music like that book had. Some people are overwhelmed, some people whelmed, and others underwhelmed. To each their own. :) Love the Smiths with or without the book! I think the author borrowed it from somewhere.
My boyfriend gave me this book to read after he read it all on one night... Then I proceeded to read it all in one night. Couldn't put it down. I recommended it to like everyone i know. Its so amazing.
This is absolutely beautiful - oh my god I had no idea this song was sung by the Smiths first. I have this song on my iPod covered by Emilie Autumn (beautiful too but this is powerful in a different way). I didn't find out about this song until I read this book (just finished it a few minutes ago - I couldn't stop crying. So powerful). I am so glad my YA Lit Professor made us read it. I think I have just found my favorite book.
I am 18 and would classify myself as a "Wallflower". I remember the night I lost my virginity...I went to Borders and read this miraculous book then decided to attend a party where I hooked up with a classmate. It is amazing how much a book can change you.
It might be weird that I am a girl and this is my favorite book ever,, but I can read this same book day after day after day. It's really amazing and it does NOT deserve to be on the banned book list!!
Yes. It was banned for sex, homosexuality and drugs and for being "anti-family". It's really, really sad when people ban books for homosexuality. It is actually one of the most banned books ever.
@whateverdud666 That is ridiculous. It is really sad when that happens. That is stupid... I don't even know how to explain how stupid that is. That book is the most amazing book I've ever read.
I'm reading this book for the first time now, and I have to say it is one of the most simplistic, most beautiful pieces of literature I have ever read. I felt every one of Charlie's experience's as though I had experienced it myself. Chbosky really did well on this one. And the song is so beautiful too.
This book is the greatest piece of literature ever written. Charlie reminds me of me in a lot of ways. It was a nice feeling to read a book with the narrator being an emotional guy which isn't found that often. A lot of young adult novels are geared towards girls, but this book has a special spot in every teen boy's heart and even after our teens we'll still love it. I love Charlie. Every time I read this book, I feel like I'm talking to a friend.
It is my favorite book. My favorite teacher gave it to me because she said that I remind her of Charlie. My mind is much like his. Ever since she gave it to me, I read it at least once or twice a month.
wow. im reading this book for the first time as a sophomore, whereas most freshmen read it. and they keep on saying how stupid and gross it is. immature idiots, they can't even see the beauty and emotions of this fantastic book. definitely one of my favorite books now, and im only half-way through :)
....nice......posted this vid......on my facebook.........help me out anyone.....did the author write this poem, then kill himself??????? hit me up, anyone.....Brian Thomas.......
At this part when Sam told Charlie that she wanted his first kiss to be from someone who actually loves him since hers wasn't.... and then with the typewriter... and then the Poem... I was crying harder than Ive ever cried in a book.
I finished the book a few days ago, and it was a book I've never read and I read a lot of books before. The music, the books describe in this book are all amazing. The book is quotes of inspiration. This songs is what I didnt excepted but fits the book truely. I'm glad my sister showed me this book so I can pass it on to more:)
Forever my favorite book...it even has an amazing soundtrack!
I hope they don't make it into a movie. I think it's beautiful just the way it is. The movies only going to express the director's point of veiw on it. That's the good thing about books: they have a specail and unique meaning to everyone.
I for one, have my own picture in my head of what everybody looks like, and I think that if they didn't get the right people to play the characters, then I think it will ruin it.
I put off and almost dreaded reading this book. My big brother gave it to me when i became a freshmen in high school. he said it was one of his favorite books and wanted me to read it too, and the only reason i did was because i love my big brother very much and wanted to make him happy. Its a beautiful book, and i say that even though it is not in my usual taste of books at all. my number one turn off in a book, is if its written as letters, I hate that, but i loved it all the same.
I got that book when i was around 14, I'm 26 now, I've read it at least two hundred time's since. It's one of those book's that no matter what age you it's still relevant, thought provoking, and now matter how many times you read it it shakes you to your very core. I must admit i do love fantasy book's, sorry not twilight though, it's to poorly written. Even though I'm 26 I still look forward to moments when i feel infinite.
I LOVE this book..so much. I could finish it in one sitting. It's so easy to relate to. And this song is incredible, I know why Charlie likes it so much.
I have loved The Smiths and this song has been a fave for many years.....so nihilistic and dark. I dont feel this way but this song reminds me what it must be like in the depths. It reminds me to cherish all that is good and to respect all that is not good......YNWA!!!!
I cried very very hard when i read this in my book and its just so sad because i can relate and i just so sad , i love the book it changed my life i am not joking. <3
yeah right, it doesn't even come close, the emotions that this book has, its just a rollercoaster, i'm still reading it, i can't put it down unless its to use the bathroom, eat, or listen to this song (:
i know right! i can honestly say i have this song on repeat when i read the book. i keep reading from beginning to where i am now which is part 4.. i can't finish it yet, its too good!
I read this book twice, both way after I had graduated high school...and each time I get a little more out of it. The writing is easy to read, but it holds so many levels of thought underneath the simplistic text...
I didn't even read this book yet but I was curious about the vid and I heard about the book.... I have loved the Smiths/Morrissey since the 90's....it is great music any one can connect with....If you guys like this song you should really try more of there stuff. All of it is Awesome.
Oh and yeah the end of this vid made me very curious about this book. I definately have to buy it this week..:)
this is my favorite poem like ever its amazing and this is my favorite book and it made me look at things from a different point of view great video :]
It really is an amazing book. Thank you all for rating, viewing, and commenting! ^_^ If you have just stopped by and have no idea what The Perks of Being A Wallflower is, THEN GO TO YOUR BOOKSTORE/LIBRARY AND READ IT A.S.A.P!
i like the book, i like the music. but omg the side notes throughout the video MADE this for me, haha.

I finished the book a few days ago, and it was a book I've never read and I read a lot of books before. The music, the books describe in this book are all amazing. The book is quotes of inspiration. This songs is what I didnt excepted but fits the book truely. I'm glad my sister showed me this book so I can pass it on to more:)

Forever my favorite book...it even has an amazing soundtrack!
I hope they don't make it into a movie. I think it's beautiful just the way it is. The movies only going to express the director's point of veiw on it. That's the good thing about books: they have a specail and unique meaning to everyone.

@janisluvsthewho I agree with you.
I for one, have my own picture in my head of what everybody looks like, and I think that if they didn't get the right people to play the characters, then I think it will ruin it.

I put off and almost dreaded reading this book. My big brother gave it to me when i became a freshmen in high school. he said it was one of his favorite books and wanted me to read it too, and the only reason i did was because i love my big brother very much and wanted to make him happy. Its a beautiful book, and i say that even though it is not in my usual taste of books at all. my number one turn off in a book, is if its written as letters, I hate that, but i loved it all the same.

I got that book when i was around 14, I'm 26 now, I've read it at least two hundred time's since. It's one of those book's that no matter what age you it's still relevant, thought provoking, and now matter how many times you read it it shakes you to your very core. I must admit i do love fantasy book's, sorry not twilight though, it's to poorly written. Even though I'm 26 I still look forward to moments when i feel infinite.

I have loved The Smiths and this song has been a fave for many years.....so nihilistic and dark. I dont feel this way but this song reminds me what it must be like in the depths. It reminds me to cherish all that is good and to respect all that is not good......YNWA!!!!

yeah right, it doesn't even come close, the emotions that this book has, its just a rollercoaster, i'm still reading it, i can't put it down unless its to use the bathroom, eat, or listen to this song (:
round of applause to Chbosky.

I read this book twice, both way after I had graduated high school...and each time I get a little more out of it. The writing is easy to read, but it holds so many levels of thought underneath the simplistic text...
