The Smiths - Asleep

Illustrating The Smiths at their darkest emotional ebb, Asleep is as beautiful as it is ghastly; a song of assiduous despair, it is the harsh and authentic clamour of the human soul at its most nihilistic....

Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go
To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream

I totally agree with you. I have no problem with how they found the song but seriously, I wish they'd go "feel infinite" somewhere else.

[TheKhermanis]

Jesus. This is the most depressing comment section I've ever seen

[legendaryninja6]

So a song about wanting to die and you all decide to make each other feel like crap, the human race everybody!

can everyone just shut up and listen? -__-

If I didn't saw the movie, or I didn't read the book I wouldn't know this beautiful song. So, I'm glad for it. This song describes exactly how I feel.

I just don't care anymore. i'm bored with it all.

Nothing you can come up with to say? Cute.

This song depresses, like all their songs, but I always come back for more.
