Smiths: Songs That Saved Your Life (Revised, Expanded)
Smiths: Songs That Saved Your Life (Revised, Expanded) | Simon Goddard
5 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
They were the most outstanding British guitar group of the 1980s, and one of the most successful indie acts of all time. Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce--better known as The Smiths--created just four studio albums during their brief career together, but left an influential legacy that can still be heard in many of the groups that followed in their wake. In the new edition of this indispensable guide, the exhaustive track-by-track commentary has the input and full cooperation of Mike Joyce, as well as contributions from Andy Rourke and Johnny Marr. Drawing upon the group's private collection of studio tapes, Goddard describes numerous previously unheard takes, and reveals for the first time the names and details of songs that were never released. The book is illustrated with outstanding examples of the group's distinctive record covers, and scores of rare stills.

What a terrible shame that Morrissey is such an awful racist arsehole. We can still enjoy the music though. Can't recommend this book highly enough to Smiths fans.

AmyG Ha...my first thought was basically- Morrissey is an asshole. (edited) 5y
batsy Ugh. I love their music so much and him revealing himself to be a racist arsehole is a betrayal #whycantwehavegoodthings 5y
TrishB Such a disappointment.....I will be making a very similar post!! 😁 5y

By turns a miserable lie, not for you my love, and very nice but maybe in the next world. Remember Morrissey as he was, and not the racist fuckwit he's become.

arlenefinnigan @TrishB yeah. why the fuck did he think it was appropriate to start chatting shit about the UKIP leadership vote on 6 Music? 7y

#litsyyearbook Fun Fact: while I loved college for the academia, I struggled with depression the entire time. Real Talk: I wanted to kill myself on graduation night, until the time actually came and I decided I was being "childish."
Honestly, I don't recignise myself from 5 years ago. I'm happier - or at least, still miserable but I've learned to be delighted in my misery. ? Weirdly, Morrissey helped with that
