Oh My God! I Totally Love This Song!

WELL I WONDER BY THE SMITHS

This track has that rain sound effect which I normally would hate, but this song makes it work. As always with the Smiths, the marriage of Marr and Morrissey takes something fairly average and raises it to the amazing. The rhythm section brings to mind Roy Orbison and one wonders what his cover may have sounded like if he had ever done one.
I don’t know how the Smiths transcend through the years because I’m an unabashed life-long fan, but I urge anyone who knows a teenager to turn them on to the band. I’m pretty sure, thematically anyway, that all of the songs would still feel like they belonged to the listener and the listener only. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (I’m annoyingly repetitive) that these guys got me through my teens.
Gasping but somehow still alive this is the fierce last stand of all I am:
