I'm15 years old and I honestly appreciate this music 28767204x more than I do the music iIm growing up with. Rap, songs that only consists of sex, drugs, and money, SUCK. I hate my generation, I really do. I would do anything to grow up with this.
Brilliant closing to their last album. I like the Mozz/Marr pics. Yeah, he wrote this about Marr, for sure. IMO they were one of the last, great songwriting teams.
i remember in 07' on my way to a morrissey concert i heard a faster version of this song, and it was great, but i cant find it no more i thought it would be in the rank album but no, musta been bootleg version but it was good
Cmon, stop with the insults, you should be honor that a voice is there that speaks from the heart and isn't afraid to be in front of possible backlashes or critics. It takes a special person with the gulls to stand and say Im here hear me roar! Im a protecter of Morrissey since the late 80's. Be yourself always!
the year was 1989 and my room mate lent me some blank tapes, one being 'strangeways, here we come'. After listening to it I was transfixed on how I connected to their music. No other music had 'got me' like the smiths did. That week I went down to the music shop and ordered every single album they'd recorded. I haven't heard this song for ages till i just clicked on it and i felt like that awkward teenager with the world before me again. Thank you for the post the trip down memory lane :)
The publisher of this video grasped the meaning of the song, at least for us fans if not for Morrissey himself. When ever I hear the opening chords I am filled with joy coupled with anguished sorrow. These Last words in the last song of a last joined album...
By the way, photo at 0:34 , is a crystal mirror of this song. Love to all.
@AmicableJudgeRhino You need to re-read the conversation I was having. I was talking of Pattinson's potential to mimic Morrissey for a movie, and in a joking way.
@texaho@kissmyshades no offense but he's married to his lovely WIFE lol happily in the hills of Hollywood but check out my playlist I think you'll like
Very nice. Agenda or not, that final picture with Morrissey and Marr with the tear down the middle is almost tear jerking. One of the greatest bands of all time.
@sebremit Ha ha! he has his own band and is conversely actually blessed with a gruff voice so couldn't undertake a literal characterisation of Morrissey. He could have a shot at darkening his hair and dancing prancily but with attitude. Who knows?
I am not being a drama queen when I say that if it weren't for this band my life would have been empty. How it is that music and words fill a human soul I don't know, but it is my reality.
Angie M always looked lovely. Johnny was in Osaka last year. With The Cribs. Bar in Osaka, everyone who plays live goes there. Cribs did, JM didn`t. So I missed him. And I took the single "Last Night" along which I bought in 1987. Not to worry.
Morrissey himself said in an early 1990s Rolling Stone article, "I'm gay? Well, that's news to me." When asked to 'set the record straight' in the 2003 British Channel 4 Documentary "The Importance of Being Morrissey" he simply stated, "I don't see any 'crooked record'. People think they know, think they understand. I don't really care what people think -- it makes no difference to me. And I'm not hiding anything."
@wenbrowneyes It's irrelevant whether i'm a fan or not. She won't be remembered, neither will many other acts. I just happened to use her as an example.
@robbieonguitar Im not a beyonce fan...she will be remembered in popular culture and between her fans..Ask my friends who the smiths are...the dont know
The smiths are famouse in their circle of fans and in indie music.
@Pinipinn I'm not saying that, i mean it's been over 20 years since The Smiths split and they're loved even more now. I was just stating that Beyonce is a singer that will more than likely fade away and be replaced by somebody else. Nobodies really been able to replace The Smiths, with good reason.
@robbieonguitar loved between their circle of fans and indie music....I like the smiths very much but Ive never met anyone here that knows who they are...and beyonce has already been replaced by some lady gaga and artists like that. Even the Jonas Brothers are not so mentioned. But still 20 years from now some teenage girls will be comenting here in youtube about how much they love them....just like we are right now talking about the smiths when nobody talks about them
The vocals on I won't share you are just dreamy. I imagine why Stephen Street cried the first time he listened to the song, during the Strangeways recording.
icons of the 80s, their music is still alive and well because it is so daring. Even today people would think twice about naming a song --I won't share you-- I admire their courage to explore and push the boundaries. How many bands are doing that now?? The last real band was the libertines.... fuck all the other boring copycats. --- the same shit is happening with movies.
It still makes me laugh a little when I think that Noel Gallagher wanted to be everything that Marr was, while I must admit that with Oasis he probably did achieve the same success or more. I think that Noel could have just been his own person; however, maybe acting like Marr is who he is lol...(Not hating on Noel Gallagher!)
@zreidsnider If you don't have confidence in who you are, then emulating The Beatles and The Smiths is not exactly undercutting your chances of making half-decent music is it? The two great North West bands and perhaps the best two of last century.
I think of a good friend every time I listen to this song. I love how The Smiths often used guitar played backwards and the end of a couple of their songs.
@kissmyshades Johnny Marr said it in an interview with the Daily mail. Google: "Dailymail" "Johnny Marr" "guitars" "Smiths" You'll find it. I think it demontrates how: 1) Johnny Marr has a fantastic sense of humour; and, 2) He's talented is many ways.
I can remember listening to this for the very first time (many many moons ago)....and thinking is this really The Smiths.....well ur better ur ass it is :))
The Smiths make me feel alive again and again........ the most influential band of all times, in my dull opinion! and yes - I'LL ALWAYS BE A SMITHS ADDICT!!!!!!!!
@Elfenlied i heard somewhere that it was about Johnny Marr...do not quote me on that though. if you find out, or find out what you think it's about, i'd love to know!
I always thought this was a message from Morrissey to Johnny Marr. Whatever it means, I think this song contains Morrissey's most tender vocal in his whole career, from 2:10 to the fade. Such a wistful, sad smile with which to end the career of this extraordinary group.
ok so i can't find this song anywhere!! can someone please tell me what album is this from if any....or can anyone tell me where i can download this song...its not on Itunes.....thanks
@Hidizzle06 STRANGEWAYS, HERE WE COME. 1987. 1. A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours 2. I Started Something I Couldn't Finish 3. Death Of A Disco Dancer 4. Girlfriend In A Coma 5. Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before 6. Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me 7. Unhappy Birthday 8. Paint A Vulgar Picture 9. Death At One's Elbow 0. I Won't Share You
I barely even hear the bass in this song. Maybe my speakers suck, but I find it funny that you in this particular song say that the bass is excellent. Rourke is an excellelt bass player - but in this song he's extremely subtle
The pictures and expressions fit perfectly with the song. Good Job, it makes it seem like he's talking about Johnny Marr. Especially on the bus, :32 with Mozzer, sitting behind.
@robbieonguitar Seriously, their lyrics are unparalleled. Growing up with the Smiths is difficult to communicate to others unless they experienced it themselves. The songs' impacts was acute on us impressionable kids.
@robbieonguitar stop comparing a british indie rock band (the best band) from the 80's to an american commercial pop singer...THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!
@giub81 I was merely comparing The Smiths (Yes, the best band to come from the 80's) to a popular singer who's making music today. Don't cry about it.
at your mercy ,couldsome kind person please put up "he knows id love to see him" and "yes I am blind" and in morrissey fashion i will be in your debt until the lord draws us nearer to his beautiful heart
Never has a band meant so much to so (relative) little a listeners. An indictment of our times, but a sweeter secret for those sensible children who will know what this means.
@onemorejoe Great comment, I think you really hit the nail on the head with what you say. The Smiths seem to have a connection with their fans in a way that I don't think any other band could!
I feel like getting all my records out and checking the b-sides lol.....I used to listen to all of them....I don't even have a record player now or should that be turn table, nevermind.....Long live The Smiths!
I want every Smiths song ever recorded. The fact that iTunes can't get them for whatever legal reason totally sucks. All I've got is The Sound of The Smiths. Even if I buy every album there seem to be obscure b sides that don't appear on the albums. This frustrates me greatly, but I should be fine.
Who cares about Moz's sexuality? He's a brilliant, beautiful man, a singer with a voice of velvet. He speaks the truth about so many empty lives. Those of us who are smart and who don't fit into conventional society (Artists, poets, writers, gays, wierdos, pot heads, whatever) we are on the fringes of society and are treated as less. He says that WE are the best, most creative!
All comments here about Morrissey's sexualit are mere presumptions. What he does in his private life doesn't belong to us. It doesn't make any difference if he is bisexual, homossexual, asexual or whatever. The most important thing is his precious legacy as a poet and wonderful singer.
I'm 14, i think i was born in the wrong generation.
I way prefer this music than the shit now.. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, all that crap.. They've got nothing on this :)

@robbieonguitar stop comparing a british indie rock band (the best band) from the 80's to an american commercial pop singer...THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!

@giub81 I was merely comparing The Smiths (Yes, the best band to come from the 80's) to a popular singer who's making music today. Don't cry about it.

I thought I finally found the most beautiful song with "there is a light.." but once again the smiths have me at loss for words.

Never has a band meant so much to so (relative) little a listeners. An indictment of our times, but a sweeter secret for those sensible children who will know what this means.

@onemorejoe Great comment, I think you really hit the nail on the head with what you say. The Smiths seem to have a connection with their fans in a way that I don't think any other band could!

I feel like getting all my records out and checking the b-sides lol.....I used to listen to all of them....I don't even have a record player now or should that be turn table, nevermind.....Long live The Smiths!

I want every Smiths song ever recorded. The fact that iTunes can't get them for whatever legal reason totally sucks. All I've got is The Sound of The Smiths. Even if I buy every album there seem to be obscure b sides that don't appear on the albums. This frustrates me greatly, but I should be fine.

Who cares about Moz's sexuality? He's a brilliant, beautiful man, a singer with a voice of velvet. He speaks the truth about so many empty lives. Those of us who are smart and who don't fit into conventional society (Artists, poets, writers, gays, wierdos, pot heads, whatever) we are on the fringes of society and are treated as less. He says that WE are the best, most creative!

All comments here about Morrissey's sexualit are mere presumptions. What he does in his private life doesn't belong to us. It doesn't make any difference if he is bisexual, homossexual, asexual or whatever. The most important thing is his precious legacy as a poet and wonderful singer.

That's sad to see such vile comments to a beautiful song people! Grow up. Get some Internet Social, Skills lmao!
I think he's Asexual. I'll just go with that. :)
