The Smiths "How Soon Is Now?" (RTL Edit)

This is a mix of the studio version of "How Soon Is Now?" (found on Meat is Murder/Hatful of Hollow) and the ultra-rare and grossly underappreciated "William, It Was Really Nothing" Italian rough edit. I mixed them together using Audacityand created a custom outro to conclude the song.

I did this as I feel that the two "moans" in this song, which were edited out of the studio version, added a lot to the longing of the poetry. Additionally, the riff/bass is weak on the ultra rare mix, and the percussion isn't as strong in the studio version, so it made sense to mix them together.

Audacity (freeware) has its limitations, which is why this isn't the smoothest mix I could've made had I had access to something like Adobe Audition. Nonetheless, it's a good template if anyone wants to attempt a similar mix.

Brilliant.

I usually get bored of bands/songs fairly quick but I've loved The Smiths and this song for years now.
