Johnny Marr - Down On The Corner

Original version on the "Boomslang" album (2003) Directed by New York/Paris based video installation artist Eric Tu "It was it the very first date of Johnny's US tour with the Healers, the Coachella gig was the next day . When we first met, i immediately felt the calmness and simplicity of Johnny and I loved the fact that the 'legendary guitarist' was actually a real down to earth person... which to me gave the song an even more raw honesty. I felt that the video should convey that, hence, the portrait concept. Johnny was willing to do whatever was necessary to get the job done for the video... but he actually didn't need to do more than one take because he nailed it. Johnny just being Johnny. We framed the shot like a portrait of his daily life. The rest of the action in the video , the doors opening and closing, the shots of Sunset Blvd through the door, the people in the reflections sound checking for the evening gig at the Viper Room, was totally unplanned and natural. Those were really his roadies setting up... no hired extras. The video was shot in all one-take and intentionally camera choreographed to be honest and subtle. Eric Tu"

Typical Marr brilliance. I love his chord progressions. Haunting.

it was good to see johnny play a different style of guitar and a different style of song rather than playing jangly guitar which is what he was kinda stuck in because of the smiths. I think this album really set him free.

Yeah, I have heard it. It's not particularly great, but the mantle of the Roses was always hanging over Squire. He can't sing - though that never stopped Brown!!

You state these things as if they are fact. Many fans and critics regard Morrissey as having a fantastic voice, with phrasing and emphasis that is unique, and your critique of the lyrics is poor - Panic has many other excellent lines apart from those, and there are another 80 songs or so apart from This Charming Man, of different styles, themes, topics, moods....that's why the Smiths are still so revered today, lyrically and musically, by myriad critics and fans alike, and other bands too.

I'm very aware of that, however, the Smiths have Morrissey's uninspiring drone of a voice and his erratic and idiotic character. The lyrics to the songs have nothing about them either, I mean, how many times do we have to hear him repeat the line 'Hang the DJ'? And why must we have 'This Charming Man' played like it changed music?
