Marr’s haunting, tremolo and sliding guitar part prepares the perfect sonic atmosphere for Morrissey’s angst-ridden lyrics. “I am the song and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar,” the singer croons to his listeners. Upon the band’s break-up, writer Simon Reynolds named this dark tone as the key element that made the band so appealing: “Why were The Smiths ‘important’ Because of their misery….The Smiths finest moments - ‘Hand in Glove,’ ‘How Soon is Now’, ‘Still Ill’, ‘I Know Its Over’ - were moments of reproachful, avenging misery, naked desperation, unbearable reverence - free from the ‘saving grace’ of quips and camp self-consciousness. If there was laughter it was black, scornful scathing….they were like those gauche youths who turn up to house parties only to cling to the dark corners in chaste disdain, driven by the naive, vaguely inhuman conviction that all merriment is a lie.” Morrissey’s melody lingers and falls. With the lyrics, it mourns the paralysis of social anxiety and fear, with a deep conviction of worth. “I am human and I need to be loved. Just like everybody else does,” he reminds us. It is the tragedy of knowing what is needed, but unable to achieve it all the same - of losing hope and knowing “soon”, is never soon enough. Marr’s guitar part relishes in that ambiguity. Its complexity comes from effect, while the riff is really quite simple. Inspired by Bo Diddley's guitar strum around an F# chord, Marr and producer John Porter began experimenting with a tre.
