One of the highlights of our 1,000th live show celebration in London was Ashley Campbell's beautiful and haunting performance of our newest cover: The Smiths' 1986 hit, "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out," with a Willie Nelson / Marty Robbins "Outlaw Country" twist. Here's the official video!

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Really like the rhythm and chord (voicings?) played by the pianist on the verses.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Yeah, they put a good spin on it.
That piano was really addin' somethin'.

 

[Seymour Glass]

Doesn't work, sounds awkward and forced. And more Lisa Loeb than 60s country.

 

[Valid Name]

Missing the Soul

 

[ACTON]

A miasma of maladjusted mediocre muck. I wish a double decker bus would impress its grill on her ghastly gizzard. Oh God why do these shitheel bands play cover versions when they could silently (and in the comfort of their homes) place the original record in the bath and evacuate all over it? Why subject us to this poop-art?

 

[Mozzypaws]

That's... different, I'll give them that

 

[nicky wire's legs]

is she trying to look like fraulein maria?

 

[marred]

Sorry, but I like it.

 

[Was I ever any good]

Oh Dear…. Reminds of that shitty olde
Muzak that was played in the 1970s
In most department stores.
If only a bus would crash into them, and it
Doesn’t have to be a double decker

 

[Captain Caveman]

Not bad - at least they make the song their own, rather than pointlessly sticking to giving us an inferior copy of the original.

 

[JoeSellMozza]

Ear cancer! Worst cover, destroying the most beautiful song ever written! Shame to be on the front page.

 

[klaus]

one day, hopefully soon, i will land on this site and read some news about how morrissey surprised us all and released both albums AND made world peace is none of your business (deluxe) available on streaming. soon….

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

Awesome! Love this version.

[gordyboy9]

looks like it was filmed in 50s style super panavision,very clean and shiny,think people are going studs up on a cover by a band who are obviously big smiths fan,i will say not terrible.hail hail.

 

[Orange Crush]

I listened for 24 seconds.

 

[Les Tameside]

I like it. A great deal: There is a Light meets Kill Uncle.

 

[ACTON]

Not bad - at least they make the song their own, rather than pointlessly sticking to giving us an inferior copy of the original.

That's like saying I made a perfect apple my own by eating it and squirting out a stream of scour. Sorry that was gross, even by my low standards.

 

[Lamplighter]

Awful. Not many singers can make Morrissey's unique cadence sound good. This isn't one of them.

 

[Surface]

Like what they have done with it but if the song had never existed and I heard this for the first time it wouldn't do anything at all for me.
