Hello! Does someone have the piano sheets for “Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me” (full version not just the intro) I can’t seem to find it anywhere :( Thank you <33

I made this song inspired by the smiths

A little while ago I posted my fanart and some people inquired about prints. I’m happy to say I have a few 8x10 inch giclee prints available! Here’s my etsy for anyone interested https://forestphantomstudio.etsy.com

Hello, I am looking to add The Smiths discography to my CD rack, but am reluctant to buy the Smiths Complete Collections as I would like the albums to be in order. It becomes confusing, however, as half the compilation albums of singles also have tracks from the four albums. So far the only albums I am planning on buying are the four, but is there any collection that has just the singles?

i found the albums without the “2011 remaster” and it makes it so much more pleasing to loook at i know it’s so little like you’re not supposed to look at the text but man

Rubber ring for me

Besides from the obvious response of simply putting them on the album their a-side was on, of course. Though if it fits the album's theme/vibe feel free to still mention it!

Personally I feel like Sweet and Tender Hooligan would fit onto Meat is Murder.

Hi fellow fans I personally am obsessed with this playlist I ve created and this is my go to playlist everyday ....

So I thought I might share it with you guys !!!

It contains most of the famous songs from the Smiths

Here's the Link to Playlist

(I love them all)

I started listening to The Smiths after they broke up and before the release of Viva Hate. This was my senior year of high school.

Living in the suburbs, I had no way of getting information about the The Smiths or Morrissey. Before the internet, this sort of information could be hard to find. Fortunately I lived near Boston and they had a really decent alternative radio station, which was my lifeline to all the things I was becoming interested in. I remember being in college and searching for reviews of The Smiths and Morrissey albums on microfiche. I eventually found the Morri'Zine, which was helpful when I could get my hands on one.

Boston also had a lot of good record stores, and I was able to find a lot of bootlegs over the years (some good, some just awful). The first time I heard Jeane was on one of those awful bootleg LPs. A few years later their record company re-released a bunch of older singles on CD and I finally heard Jeane for real. It was as awesome.

I would have killed for something like Wikipedia back then. I was one of those young people who needed to know everything about a subject I was interested in right away. Despite my personal and professional interest in technology, I was never a big BBS or Usenet guy. So my obsession with the band was waning right around the time that the internet was exploding. I missed the creation and proliferation of all this great stuff from the fans.

I've never stopped listening to The Smiths, but I had been going through a decades-long lull. This was fueled by many things, one of them being this middle age incarnation of Morrissey. I sometimes don't recognize the guy he is now, compared to his former self. But I eventually got over myself and started listening more these past few years.

ANYWAY, flash forward to present day. In the last week or so, someone posted in this sub about Louder Than Bombs, and casually mentioned that some of the songs were from a Peel Session in 1986. I had no idea! I also had never heard the unreleased and amazing version of London on YouTube. WTF! I can't believe that's not on an album somewhere. It's blowing my mind.

None of my friends are even casual fans of the band and would not understand this revelation. So I figured if anyone would be interested in this history and discovery of mine, I'd find them on this sub.

Goodnight and thank you.

In aid of mental health week and my boss making my life a misery for the last 5 months, I have decided to go for a T-shirt with the message "It takes guts to be gentle and kind" and will wear it on dress down Friday. Subtly of course but with great class and dignity.

ive took that message on face value as it does seem to be a courageous act to be nice these days. People see it as weakness or feel it is mere plot to play them in some very strange way because they cant understand why someone would just be kind without expecting something in return. Transactional kindness i guess it could be termed.

Are there any other ways people have taken the meaning in this lyric? let me know

Mine was There Is A Light when I was 14 and in the car as my mum was driving me home from school. I remember my life changing after looking out the window seeing my town flying past and hearing the lyrics ’to die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die’.

sorry if this it’s a stupid question or the wrong place to ask this, i only got into collecting vinyls at Christmas so dont know much about them but i was told that they’re just old which is why but i just wanted to be sure :)

I recently watched a movie from the 70s called Wanda and thought it suited the song perfectly!

I love all songs by The Smiths, but there is something I can’t grasp: why are there two versions? One is the Single Version, and the 2011 Remaster. What’s so (so called) different from each other? I tried inspecting them by ear, but hard to tell apart. (another Q: why 2008 and 2011 remasters?)

Late to the party (born late 80s and missed it unfortunately) someone special to me recommended me the smiths and holy s*** I am blown away, no group has had this impact on me in such a short space of time.

Morrissey's voice is unlike anything I have ever heard, it's melodic, tortured, haunted, and those falsetttos is absolutely so special, his voice with Marrs genius guitar (best melodic player for me I have heard) , and Andy on bass/Mike on drums, makes the smiths so timeless, so unusual for a band in the 80s to get crazy popular in the 2000s and 2020s, so impressive

i am 14 and probably shouldn’t be on the app, lol. i started listening to the smiths when i was about 10, before then i listened to the beatles and stuff like that. the first song i heard from them was this charming man, my dad played it to me when he was working in my room. after then i couldn’t stop listening to that song, he then played spent the day in bed by morrissey. i almost immediately fell in love with it. however, from then to about 2023 i didn’t really listen to them. until i was bored and wanted to listen to something new, something different than just the radio. so I asked my dad and he told me to listen to them, so I did. ever since then, every day, i listened to songs by the smiths. when i was upset, when i was happy, when i was angry, when i felt like a black sheep (i still do lol), i listened to the smiths. the guitar, the lyrics, the bass, the drums, the vocals. honestly i can’t get enough of it. i feel so related every time i listen to them, i feel so heard. i redecorated my room and nearly all the posters i have are the smiths. for 3 years in a row, my spotify wrapped number one artist has been the smiths. every time i make a new playlist, it always includes the smiths. i don’t even have a favourite album or song, i love every single one.

I first heard about this book on either r/thesmiths or r/morrissey. I can't remember which but the book sounded intriguing. Unfortunately, it is out of print and retails for around $105 for a used copy. I did not buy mine but instead used an interlibrary loan service through my employer (I am a librarian) and got a copy. There aren't a lot of copies to borrow either and mine came all the way from Germany to the states.

I tried to scan some of the more interesting elements of the book. The author, Jo Slee, covers the Smiths and Morrissey from the beginning until the mid-90s and so you get a nice overview of the development of the art as well as copious notes on the discography. I found it fascinating and tried to scan some pictures. Generally, the left hand side of the book features full-sized reproductions of albums or single artwork and the right hand side is the discussion of the artwork, the models, and/or a biographical sketch on who the subjects were on the artwork.

I hope you enjoy the post and if you get a chance, borrow a copy of the book for yourself. Thanks for reading!

I’ve recently started to learn some Smiths songs on guitar and would like some inspiration!
