Υπάρχει ένας ήχος που σε κάνει να βλέπεις τα πάντα λίγο πιο νοσταλγικά — ο ήχος της κιθάρας του Johnny Marr να τρέχει σαν φωτεινό νήμα και η φωνή του Morrissey να λέει ιστορίες με σαρκασμό και τρυφερότητα. Το επίσημο μουσικό βίντεο για το “This Charming Man” είναι μια μικρή χρονοκάψουλα της Βρετανίας του 1983: κοφτές στροφές, λεπτή ειρωνεία και εκείνη την ανεπιτήδευτη κομψότητα που έκανε τους The Smiths σημείο αναφοράς για ολόκληρη τη σκηνή της indie μουσικής.
Οι The Smiths γεννήθηκαν στο Μάντσεστερ το 1982 και γρήγορα έγιναν η φωνή μιας γενιάς: Morrissey (φωνητικά), Johnny Marr (κιθάρα), Andy Rourke (μπάσο) και Mike Joyce (τύμπανα). Σε λίγα χρόνια κυκλοφόρησαν μερικά από τα πιο καθοριστικά άλμπουμ της βρετανικής εναλλακτικής — The Smiths (1984), Meat Is Murder (1985), The Queen Is Dead (1986) και Strangeways, Here We Come (1987) — πριν το συγκρότημα διαλυθεί το 1987. Μετά τη διάλυση, ο Morrissey ακολούθησε λαμπρή σόλο καριέρα και ο Johnny Marr συνεργάστηκε με πολλές μπάντες και καλλιτέχνες, ενώ η μουσική του συγκροτήματος συνέχισε να επηρεάζει δεκάδες νέους μουσικούς.
“This Charming Man” κυκλοφόρησε αρχικά το 1983 και έδειξε από νωρίς τον χαρακτηριστικό συνδυασμό ανάλαφρης, αλλά περίτεχνης κιθάρας και στίχων που παίζουν με θέματα τάξης, γοητείας και αυτοειρωνείας. Οι στίχοι αποτυπώνουν μια μικρή σκηνή — ποδήλατο με σκασμένο λάστιχο, μια πολυτελής θέση συνοδηγού, ένας “charming man” που σχολιάζει τη ζωή — και ισορροπούν ανάμεσα στην επιπόλαια γοητεία και τον υπόγειο στοχασμό. Το τραγούδι επανεκδόθηκε το 1992 και απέκτησε νέα ζωή, φτάνοντας στο Νο 8 του βρετανικού single chart, ενώ το περιοδικό Mojo το τοποθέτησε στην κορυφή της λίστας του 2008 με τα “50 Greatest UK Indie Records of All Time”.
Το βίντεο και το ίδιο το κομμάτι παραμένουν σημεία αναφοράς — όχι μόνο για τους φαν του συγκροτήματος, αλλά και για όποιον αναζητά την καθαρή, μελαγχολικά γοητευτική πλευρά της βρετανικής pop. Κάθε ακρόαση θυμίζει γιατί οι The Smiths έγιναν τόσο αγαπητοί: ρευστές μελωδίες, κοφτεροί στίχοι και μια αίσθηση ότι, μέσα σε λίγα λεπτά, σου αφηγούνται μια μικρή ιστορία ζωής.

The style of this video reminds me so much of The Jam, except for one remarkable exception.
É um tédio ver o Morrissey rodar esse ramo de flores o clip todo! Queria entender o significado desse gesto!
They are so freekin Awesome!!!
Great upbeat tune, a sing a longer, love the lyrics 👍👏
Who up stephening their patrick??
I still love this song today, and the first time I listened to it was around year 2006 when I was age 22. I believe that I randomly found it. July 27, 2026
Thats one unique voice you can easily recognize..
RIP Andy Rourke
Wow the strokes take so much style from the smiths that’s amazing
Vegani sempre per gli animali
I was talking to a lady last weekend

This reminds me of the beter me🤚✌❤
MUSIC TO SLIT YOUR WRISTS BY
(an epic pome, and it could've been sooo much longer)
It's time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
Oh, people said that you were virtually dead
And they were so wrong
I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life
No, I've never had a job
Because I've never wanted one
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you
Oh, I'm too tired
I'm so sick and tired
And I'm feeling very sick and ill today
Over the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And I'll lay me down
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
In my life, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life, why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?
I am sick and I am dull
And I am plain
Who and what to blame?
But I once had a dream and it never came true
"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something!"
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my face after all
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
In the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me?
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Oh yes, you can punch me and you can butt me
And you can break my spine
But you won't change the way I feel
'Cause I love you
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Because if it's not love
Then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb that will bring us together
I know I'm unloveable
You don't have to tell me
For message received loud and clear, loud and clear
Message received
I don't have much in my life but take it – it's yours
I wear black on the outside cause black is how I feel on the inside
I wear black on the outside cause black is how I feel on the inside
And if I seem a little strange, well, that's because I am
I was detained, I was restrained
And broke my spleen
And broke my knee
We tried, we failed
We tried and we failed
We tried and we failed
We tried and we failed
We tried
So how can you call this a home
When you know it's a grave
In the seaside town
That they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come, nuclear bomb
Oh, but I'm so very sickened
Oh, I am so sickened now
You hiss and groan
And you constantly moan
But you don't ever go away
And that's because all you need is me
Hailstones, driven home
In a car – no brakes? I don't mind
It's so funny you'll kill yourself laughing
Here you'll find, despair and I
I'm Slipping below the water line
I see the world
It makes me puke
I was driving my car
I crashed and broke my spine
Monday – humiliation
Tuesday – suffocation
Wednesday – condescension
Thursday – is pathetic
By Friday life has killed me
And why did you stick me in self deprecating bones and skin?
Jesus, do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
As I kneel down at my bed
Let's face it soon I will be dead
And you can shoot me
And you can throw me off a train
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train
No emasculation, no castration
No highway, freeway, motorway
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train
No final word, but I feel your pain
(and don't much care)
good times!

Soy gay pero este comentario se perderá entre los demás
Y como se llama este hombre tan encantador?
Love Morrisey
❤❤
Alguien 9 de agosto 2026?
Ooh isn't this about that foght that left mcgregor traumatized and subsequently r@ped a woman because of it? This whole channel is just about glazing mcgregor and trashing khabib and islam. Stop it jaz, mcgregor is r@pist and you want to be on that side? Alright
Nobody has ever encapsulated vocals in the soothing artistic form the way Morrissey did in the smiths.
I just realized that I went from listening to “Charmless Man” by Blur to this
❤
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
I love this comment section in particular. There’s long-time fans, people who use these as diaries, people who hate Morrissey, memes, and… well, Charming Man from JoJoLands
It’s like people forget that Morrissey was always a dick. I think once people pivoted from a band being their life to consuming product, he just had to go with something that had the same gravitas.
something something witty joke about being gay
