How Soon Is Now?

Een maand of twee geleden pas voor het eerst kennis gemaakt met The Smiths en met Morrissey. The Smiths is onderhand één van m'n favoriete bands geworden, en het volgende nummer één van m'n favoriete nummers allertijden. De tekst en de muziek van dit nummer passen perfect bij elkaar. De tekst is ook zo herkenbaar. En dan nog de stem van Morrissey erbij, hemels.
Je moet het eigenlijk horen, dus wees verstandig en download het.

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

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

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
