"Well I Wonder" by The Smiths
1."Well I Wonder" is included in the Smiths' sole chart-topping album, 'Meat is Murder', from 1985.
2. It's also included on the 'How Soon Is Now' single.
3. According to Johhny Rogan's book 'The Smiths', it has never been performed live.
4. This is a very sad fact, since 'Well I Wonder' is a beautiful, beautiful song.
5. I dont know why it was so overlooked. I mean, you can hear all four Smiths doing some of their best work on this song : Andy Rourke's melodic bass leads, Johnny MArr switching his Rickenbacker for an acoustic, Mike Joyce's masterful drum breaks, and Morrissey's yodelling.
6. I love this song, it's my favorite Smiths song.
7. Everyone who ever experienced the anxiety of falling in love can instantly relate to the lyrics of this song.
8. Anyone who does not relate has never truly been infatuated with someone.
9.The noise at the end of the song i used to think was the sound of pouring rain, until someone pointed out that it sounds like a frying pan.
10. This does not reduce its romantic value in any way.
11. Check out the above fan-made video from Youtube.com for a quick and handy visual history of the Smiths. (You'd notice Morrissey's neck get larger as time goes by)
