The Smiths - This Charming Man

1984. Winter. Lots of snow. Working at Record World. 12” and 7” imports piled up in my room. This song on repeat.

Morrissey, oh Morrissey. You were my soulmate when I was young and morose and wanted to go on lockdown in my bedroom for days or months at a time, just me and you under the covers, hibernating until spring, sharing each other’s misery. But always, always, this song made me smile through my daily existential crisis.
