The Smiths - This Charming Man

WIKI
"This Charming Man" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths, written by guitarist Johnny Marr and singer Morrissey. Released as the group's second single in October 1983.

Feeling detached from the early 1980s mainstream gay culture, Morrissey wrote "This Charming Man" to evoke an older, more coded and self-aware underground scene.

Happy 35th anniversary to The Smiths live album, ‘Rank’. Released this week in 1988. #thesmiths #rank #morrissey #johnnymarr

Surprise gig of the year was Johnny Marr in #Helsinki last week. I was a big Smiths fan back in the day, but lost touch with Marr when they split. Marr gelled with the audience and band in equal measures and seemed genuinely happy to be on stage. He has some catchy songs and let rip with some Smith’s numbers, just when you weren’t expecting it. How could you not dance? #LiveMusic #Gig #Helsinki #JohnnyMarr #TheSmiths #Huvila

last music spam, maybe; this is my favorite #TheSmiths live performance, at least that has been preserved in video format.

not only is this the best Smiths guitar melody Marr ever conceived (IMO) there are extra bits added to it during this performance and the stratocaster ringing is haunting in a way that fits the song perfectly.

this is the type of song where #Morrissey needs to #ShutUp and stop singing, because he doesn't actually add anything of value here.

#NowPlaying: #Electronic
2020 European reissue.

This was my favourite album for a while back in late 2021/early 2022 and for a good reason: it's a brilliant crossover event between #NewOrder, #TheSmiths, and #PetShopBoys. With so much musical experience, the jangly guitar sound of Marr and the danceable synths of Sumner it's no wonder that they wrote one of the most brilliant #90s albums. I was looking for it on #vinyl for a long time and finally found a copy!

#synthpop #alternativedance

its #shoegaze but also has a hint of #TheSmiths and a hint of #powerpop thrown in for good measure. interesting watching him play this riff live, good zoom in this last .fm session:

Wasn't expecting the former general secretary of my union to show up on this documentary about the Smiths 1984 tour of Ireland. #TheSmiths

if there's one #Morrissey solo song that sounds most like #TheSmiths - it's Sister I'm a Poet

1985 Dutch pressing.

This one's not mine but I bought it for my brother. Until I hand it over, I might give it a little spin. I never really listened to The Cure, but I know some songs. The first song sounds a lot like #TheSmiths, I know that these bands' fans feud with each other. I like the sound of this record and definitely will look into more of them.

Off to see Johnny Marr on Tuesday night. Seen him twice before, but I’m still a tiny bit excited about it #Music #JohnnyMarr #TheSmiths

Rick Astley singing #TheSmiths at the #Glastonbury 2023 is the most wonderful thing I’ve seen this year.

I think he just should replace that dove butt haired bigot and get on stage with Johnny Marr.
