I feel it's kind of odd for people without children to understand the full horror of loosing a child. They've really hit the nail on the head. I have adult children now. But before I had my own I didn't fully feel or understand the value and depth of love felt by a parent. I didn't have siblings either. When you become a parent you are suddenly thrown into a world of fear, that you must make sure they don't die before you, they become your reason for existence, how could you go on without them. Even still, maybe even more so now that they are adults, out there in the world, on their own, driving, going to work...never knowing if the ringing phone is going to tell you what you dread the most.
I don't live in irrational fear, just what is considered normal, what all parents have on the "back burner" of their minds.

Load of shite! Brady was from shithole Scotland! Nout to do with Manchester! If you like this, your as sick as the FUCKER who inspired this garbage!

jotitwithjo 2023-04-11

Wasnt familiar with this tune until now. Morose, and add to that Morrissey's voice.

yasergaber41 2023-04-11

For some reason I used to skip this song when I listened to the album but it’s jus so good?? I listened to the full thing last night and I’m addicted

lilianallen70 2023-04-09

One of my favorite songs from the album. You just can’t deny that beautiful guitar riff.

still beautiful and haunting. bravo

Morbid podcasts brought me here.

minttumarihaverinen 2023-04-06

The combination of a beautiful melody and the saddest subject is a intriguing combination whatever you make of it. It shows a different level to the smiths. Chip papers and all.

markshipmanblog 2023-04-05

Love him or loathe him , Morrissey was a lyrical genius. I feel blessed to be of an age when The Smiths were at the top of their game , current , influential and producing powerful music that sticks with you for a lifetime.
Nothing like them before or since, although Johnny Marr has gone on to carve out his solo career very successfully. The Smiths were more than just Morrissey, but without him there would have been no Smiths.

mmucholif97 2023-04-05

Not a great song for the families of the victims to listen to tho is it

azmiwritings 2023-04-04

Oh Manchester so much to answer for... But the bands are great

CRUEL WIND

The cruelest wind does bite its worst,
on cold bleak Winter's nights.
Where a poor lost soul endures alone,
such an undeserving plight.

Two score and thirteen years have past ,
since Keith set out to play.
No one knew he'd meet the Devil,
as he went about his way.

He just never stood a chance at all,
pure evil proved too strong.
He would never see his Mam again,
she's sense something was wrong.

And for fifty years Winnie would cry,
herself to sleep each night.
She was beside herself with torment
that could never be put right.

She prayed that her wee boy's remains,
returned home form that place.
So that he be laid where he belonged,
with some dignity and grace.

Over time stress took its tragic toll,
and her heart just broke in two.
She would never hold her boy again,
that sweet sweet child she knew.

Keith's out there at that sacred spot,
the longest time's advanced.
His smiling face shan't be forgot,
Nor will it, not a chance!

Where cruelest wind does bite its worst,
on cold bleak Winter's nights.
One lonely soul endures alone,
such an undeserving plight.

My hope that they'll find young keith,
so that he can once again.
Be reunited with his loving Mam,
and right by her side be lain.

R I P Keith and Winnie.
James Bridgewood.
