The Smiths: Songs You Should Know


Most of The Smiths entire canon can be summed up in a one word theme:  Longing.  Longing for the love(and kind of love)Morrissey never got, longing for a world that could, but doesn't exist, longing for the  anonymous people that populate their songs; the foolish, the dying, the comatose, those longing for their own version of love. 

And no one did it better. Those sexy, sad, melodic, and obsessive refrains work as well today as they did when new.  Enjoy.  Note:  If you don't have the volume turned all the way up, there's always Louder.  Go Louder.
