I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
I am the son and the heir

I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry, and you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen now
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See, I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
You shut your mouth

My instinct is to give this an 8.5—but that rounds out to 9. So 9 is it.

Funny how that works when your the teen vs. when you become the Dad. My Dad has been gone nearly 20 years and there is not a day that goes by that I don't wish for the chance of him embarrassing me again, like he loved to do. Rest easy Dad.
My dad died aged 41, and I find myself thinking of him more often as I approach that age (I'm closing in fast!). When I was a kid, he drove an ancient Morris Minor and almost always played The Smiths on the tape deck. I found both mortally embarrassing and frequently turned down lifts to school. If I could go back in time, I would proudly ride shotgun along those east Manchester streets. You were pretty cool, dad. It just took me a while to realise

Love this song. Takes me straight back 40 years.
Always a fave, and STILL BLOWS MY MIND every time! Rainbow Lakes Shroom Camping Weekend, late summer of '86 or was it 7; it was me and wild Johnny L and some of his friends from the NIST labs across the street and we had THIS song playing on John's stereo it seemed like repeatedly and we were tripping pretty good and we gathered round the fire and opened up the foil-wrapped curried shark steaks that had baked in the coals and this song was playing and then we all hiked to the glacier and played in the snow and came back and this song was playing again and we talked and tripped and freaked about how EPIC it all felt...

What a time-marker tune this shall always be! CU undergrad days, summer nights roaming The Hill, looking for the next party to crash... -- Found it! Party vibe coming from inside, this Smiths song, this album blaring from front porch speakers nestled right next to the keg set-up...and everywhere the fragrant wafts of advanced terpene aromatherapy...U2, B-52s, Talking Heads, REM, Dire Straits, The Who, Lou Reed, and David Gilmour were also played, but this was what pulled me up onto the porch and into the party that married and carried us all away till dawn... I am happily still only a few blocks down the street from so many of these precious, indelible memories -- and happily still at Standard Orbit and then some, thanks to RP!
Some of the best stuff kicked out in the 80s
Oh my! Watch the movie "The Killer" with Michael Fassbender.
Total knockout Smiths soundtrack on it.
And, I loved the movie.
This is as tight as a gnat's jockstrap and oh the memories I have of dancing to it at The Hacienda in Manch.

But this song still slaps, almost four decades on.

The way they achieved the pulsating guitar effect was with syncing multiple guitar amps that would constanty need adjusting during the recording, it's worth a read if you have the interest.
They recall the session as being accompanied by heavy marijuana use. "We used to smoke dope from when we got out of bed to when we got back to bed",

The Smiths have long been one of my absolute favourite bands, despite how much less I like Morrissey with every passing year. Yeah, they were emo before emo, but despite his incredible obtuseness, there was a self-awareness about Morrissey. Always teetering on self-parody. You can almost laugh to it (indeed, the subtle humour is lost on many), but that inner 14 year old in you still really gets it on some completely serious level.
It's true that this really sounds like nothing else in their catalogue, and yet it still is quintessential Smiths. And the musicianship as always, second to none. I love this band, and I love this overplayed song.
Top shelf stuff.

Marr is quoted on the subject in Wikipedia, from an interview:
"The vibrato sound is fucking incredible, and it took a long time. I put down the rhythm track on an Epiphone Casino through a Fender Twin Reverb without vibrato. Then we played the track back through four old Twins, one on each side. We had to keep all the amps vibrating in time to the track and each other, so we had to keep stopping and starting the track, recording it in 10-second bursts... I wish I could remember exactly how we did the slide part — not writing it down is one of the banes of my life! We did it in three passes through a harmonizer, set to some weird interval, like a sixth. There was a different harmonization for each pass. For the line in harmonics, I retuned the guitar so that I could play it all at the 12th fret with natural harmonics. It's doubled several times."

The Smiths - reinvented music at the time - they created something that nobody else could do. Unique and wonderful.

The repeating guitar wail in the background envisions a distant and fading train whistle, which, after reading the lyrics, makes sense.
The perfect match of music with his voice. No matter what you think of Morrissey, this track worked.

I like how Marr is the guy lurking behind Morrissey in the Wikipedia band photo.

I'm a musician and guitar player, and I've read this part over and over and I STILL don't get how it was done. I need like an animation or something that shows how it was built up from organic instrumentation.

I cannot stand this band, especially the twat at the front. The only decent song they've ever done IMHO. 8.
Not a particular fan of the Smiths but this tune is awesome!
Not a fan of Morrisey, but I really liked The Smiths. Johnny Marr does some brilliant things with his guitar.

This tune and everything they did is genius. No-one but you gives a monkey's about your diet though; take it off RP. Let's discuss the majesty of the music instead.

Best Smiths song, Johnny Marr killin' it!
first heard this on Miami Vice. It still holds up well. Did anyone ever see the Smiths perform this one live? Wondering how they handled the vibrato thing that according to Marr took all sorts of audio gymnastics.
Also wondering why it took someone so long to sample that (1 hit wonders Soho, Hippychick, 1990) amazing riff.
