I like The Smiths and Morrisey on his own but i do try to avoid listening to him when iam feeling low as like you said it only makes me feel worse.

Girlfriend in a coma - is my favorite such a happy tune about such a sad story lol

 

[Remus]

I adore the Smiths and morrisey, nowt like listening to him have a good wallow in his songs

and even better, the band is from my home city ....Manchester (so much to answer for)

*is proud*

lyrics that I love:


The Headmaster ritual

Belligerent ghouls
Run manchester schools

Spineless swines
Cemented minds

Sir leads the troops
Jealous of youth
Same old suit since 1962

He does the military two-step
Down the nape of my neck

I wanna go home
I don’t wanna stay
Give up education
As a bad mistake

Mid-week on the playing fields
Sir thwacks you on the knees

Knees you in the groin
Elbow in the face
Bruises bigger than dinner plates

I wanna go home
I don’t wanna stay

Da-da-da ...

Belligerent ghouls
Run manchester schools

Spineless bastards all ...

Sir leads the troops
Jealous of youth
Same old jokes since 1902

He does the military two-step
Down the nape of my neck

I wanna go home
I don’t want to stay
Give up life
As a bad mistake

Please excuse me from gym
I’ve got this terrible cold coming on
He grabs and devours
He kicks me in the showers
Kicks me in the showers
And he grabs and devours

I want to go home
I don’t want to stay...

 

[ManInBlack]

I love them, some of the best, and saddest songs ever written, but beautiful.

 

[Remus]

I love this one too (get our hankies out) :


LAST NIGHT I DREAMT THAT SOMEBODY LOVED ME

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, but no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm


So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?


The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on
The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on


Oh, GOES ON
And on
Oh, goes on
And on

I love The Smiths. I like your taste in music.

Still Ill and A Light that Never Goes Out are my favourite tunes from this band.

 

[KeepTheFaith01]

I love The Smiths, and alot of Morrissey's solo stuff. But as you say, when i listen to songs like 'How Soon Is Now?' and 'Heaven Knows i'm miserable now' lol it reminds me of where i am and doesnt take my mind off things like i need.
And i don't know about you, but i can't stand listening to love songs when i'm feeling down, because again they remind me of what i haven't got :?

 

[carebear]

ohhh..last night i dreamt that somebody loved me!! that brings back some depressing times...crying my eyeballs out of the sockets..balled up in the middle of my bed, heaving with tears and immmense pain from lonliness.
the song sends a chill through me. the first shrieking chord is like a knife through my heart. the emptiness in that song...it is probably THE most depressing song ever yet it's soo beautiful.

the smiths, i think were one of the top 10 most important groups in the world.

glad you guys have had the same experience.

i do agree with you scottish player..The smiths/morrissey should not be listened to if you are extremely depressed/lonely. now matter how tempted you are (i am sure morrissey or marr would not like this post :? -but trust me, i am speakjng from years of experience)
Try your best to cheer yourself up. You should listen to the smiths/morrissey when you are happy or at least semi happy!! :lol:

 

[Richey]

Oh Carebear i disagree with that. I find alot of The Smiths music to be very upbeat but lyrically it can be depressing.
But the music is the complete opposite of Morrisseys crooning.

 

[KeepTheFaith01]

the most depressing songs tend to be the most beautiful too. That's what makes them so depressing. They're so well crafted, they have so much power and impact when you listen to them.

 

[magda74]

I really like the Smiths. My favourite song is There is a light that never goes out. Yeah it's heavy stuff, but I tend to listen to sad songs when I'm down. I get it all out that way. That joke isn't funny anymore, Half a person, please " " let me get what I want and Last night I dreamt that somebody love me always brings me to tears.

Are there any particular ones that you feel are more depressing?

 

[harvest]

i know it's over

beside "there is a light" that is also my personal favourite ther is also my second favourite which is "I know it's over"
It such an emotional song that sometimes i feel like it's been writen about me.
and don't forget "had no one ever"-
I had a really bad dream
it lasted 20 years 7 months and 27 days..

 

[Remus]

I love this song from the solo "Viva hate" album, reminds me of chavs:

Ordinary boys

Ordinary boys, happy knowing nothing
Happy being no-one but themselves
Ordinary girls, supermarket clothes
Who think it’s very clever to be cruel to you

For you were so different
You stood all alone
And you knew
That it had to be so
Avoiding ordinary boys
Happy going nowhere, just around here
In their rattling cars

Ordinary girls
Never seeing further
Than the cold, small streets
That trap them
But you were so different
You had to say no
When those empty fools
Tried to change you, and claim you
For the lair of their ordinary world

Where they feel so lucky
So lucky, so lucky
With their lives laid out before them
They are lucky
So lucky, so lucky
So lucky, so ...

 

[paladin]

Heaven knows I am a misserable now (due to SA).

 

[carebear]

i agree with all of you . Plus, the songs encapsulate by life soooo much that it' shard not to listen. 8)
oohhh i don't know ..hey i wonder if morrissey has sa or just depression or both?

ps. the song that describes my life..."There is a light that never goes out"
Looove listening to it on a sat or fri night.

I love "How soon is now"

the lyrics must have been written for me

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

and when I go to a club (rarely) this is exactly how I feel:

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

 

[Richey]

I find clubs hard as well when there are so many good looking people everywhere and loud people. Unless i drink a lot i struggle.

Same here, although i love clubs my SA doesn't let me enjoy the time spent there unless I drink.

And about the Smiths, i never listened to them, but I try to keep myself away from sad depressing music cause that makes me feel very low. I mostly listen to club/party music and stuff like that, entertaining music. :wink:

 

[Cork_Tree]

Hello, i know what renegade means, as much as i admire the bravery of people who are so emotionally open in their songs sometimes when im sad listening to sad songs just makes me worse and maes me cry

 

[blubs]

The first time I moved out of home into a shared house..I just stayed in my room most of the time..in fact not just in my room but in my bed...listening to The Smiths and drinking cuppa soups.
I was so lonely..but The Smiths were good company and helped me at the time...I still think their songs are beautiful.
