What part of a Smiths song gives you goosebumps?

The opening chords of That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. Lyrics to Well I Wonder and the whole of I Know It's Over when laid alone in a darkened room. Yes, even at my age I'm one of those Morrissey fans that lay alone in a darkened room!
 
"And I cried..." "I'd love to" - all that section. Actually much of that song. I like the whispery vocals. (Edit: From 'I'd Love To' as if you didn't already know)

The repeated "I never said" and hear the length of that "said" on Speedway. Not on this particular part of the song but overall you get quite whispery vocals on not just Speedway but actually the whole album and I like that. "I never said, I never said" - really tired of misinterpretation. Again, because it can sometimes adequately pinpoint the exact breathless feeling the listener may be experiencing.

Also the repeated "Oh mother I can feel the soil falling over my head" at the end of I Know It's Over - it can be a bit painful to listen to sometimes in the same way the end of Rock N Roll Suicide can be with Bowie but that's also what makes it so special (sounds like they really mean what they're saying).


Whole heartedly agree! Speedway is chilling!
 
The guitars on Paint a Vulgar Picture. And Well I Wonder, the part where he sings "gasping - dying- but somehow still alive". Lovely.
 
Not The Smiths but the last third of Trouble Loves Me that starts with "Trouble loves me, seeks and finds me, to charlatanise me" etc. etc. right the way to the piano at the end including "oh please fulfil me, otherwise kill me" and especially the drums at "can't get you out of my head".
 
"Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" intro and right the part when connects with the main melody and lyrics... Aaaawwwwff!!! Overwhelming!!

Just listened to that song and that's the part I always can't wait for!

Bravo!
 
"Give in to lust, give up to lust, Heaven knows we'll soon be dust"

"Did I really walk all this way, just to hear you say 'Oh, I don't want to go out tonight'? 'I don't want to go out tonight.' Oh but you will.... for you must. I don't owe you anything-no-o. But you owe me something, repay me now"

"I'll never rest my hand on his sacred head"

"Hindley wakes and says: 'Whatever he has done, I have done'"

"Gasping, dying, but somehow still alive. This is the fierce last stand...." etc.
 
"Only With You"
"Wide To Receive"
"Angel Down We Go Again"
 
The musical moment in "Sheila Take A Bow" just before Morrissey starts singing, 'Take my hand and off we stride" - The Smiths at their musically uplifting best.

From "I Know It's Over" the words 'It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate. It takes strength to gentle and kind'.

The Bassline/Chorus of "There Is A Light..."

THE QUEEN IS DEAD!

The harmonies on "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" When Moz strives in to 'I've seen this happen in other people's lives and now it's happening in mine'.

(To be continued....:p)
