@DrunkPolish

They cant go back to the old house mozzer the Smith's ☺

@uramisugi

"I would rather not go back to the old house."

this song for me is the peak of the smiths discography. morrissey is able to convey so much melancholic sorrow in such short lyrics that feel fleeting yet are still impactful. it's as if it was something someone said in a moment of passion without really thinking about the emotional consequences those words have until they finally set in at the very end of the song.

"I would love to go back to the old house, but i never will."

@DrivingSkeleton

In a way I think it's a message on how old houses don't have the cool new features new houses are required to have, says a lot about society when you think about (we live in one probably)

I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many bad memories
Too many memories there

When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to

Are you still there or have you moved away?
Or have you moved away?
I would love to go
Back to the old house
But I never will
I never will
I never will

@jam-nc8ut

Whatever anyone may think of Morrissey now, good or bad, whatever anybody think about how The Smiths split up, or why, we should still celebrate that they existed at all, and created some of the most unique, incredible music ever created. They were heavily influenced, and even more heavily influential, but never, ever replicated. No band ever even came close to this sound.

@rexcooper3365

No band came/comes close to the incredible talent and technical expertise of the individual members, and the quality obtained when individual brilliance is correctly harnessed in mutual synergy.

@kane00000

@@jam-nc8ut bands create conflict through creative differences. Morrissey comes off like a dick imo because he's smart and stressed from past, being gay at that time. Trauma.

This song hits so hard man. I loved her so much and it was so painful to do it. When we'd talk for hours late into the night everyday even on school nights it was so amazing. She was perfect. She felt like the female version of me. I told her everything and she told me everything, we had inside jokes, she would make me laugh so hard my pillow would be soaked wet from tears. And all that seemingly lost overnight it felt. Suddenly our conversations got drier, she started getting mad at me for small things or things I didn't even do. She started talking shit about me and telling people my secrets. But this was the last straw. She and her friend have been telling me that my best friend was fake and openly saying how much he disliked me and was only friends with me because he felt bad. This stung because I'm so close with him. I tried ignoring him throughout the day but I just couldn't. I texted him about it and he told me they've been telling him the same thing. She's trying to split me and my friends up. I don't know what i did to be hated this much where she's trying to ruin my life. Is she bored? Did I do something? Last night she texted me and apologized saying that she's been upset lately as has been getting mad at everyone especially me. This shocked me because A: She never apologizes ever B: It came right after a long conversation with my sister about how i should just let her go and she texts me that right after. We talked a bit and called for a couple hours like we did before. It felt like old times but I knew it was wrong in the back of my mind. I've tried so hard to fall out of love with her. Words can't ever emphasize how hard I tried to stop thinking about how funny she is, how beautiful her eyes are, the way we'd talk, the way her accent comes out when she gets mad, how hard she would laugh at my jokes and after almost dying follow up with "shut up, you're not even funny" while still laughing, how she'd compliment me, not on purpose, she just said what was on her mind, how she'd listen to me rant about baseball and at least try to understand it, I could go on and on about all the little things I loved about her. Everyone's telling me I need to let her go but I don't think I ever will. I don't think I'll ever be as close with anybody again as I was with her. I really wonder if she knew how much I really liked her. I doubt it.

I relate to this so much more than I would like to. Craving to go back, for memory's sake, but once you're there, you realize what this place meant to you. Your brain remembers your childhood, a time where worry was a foreign concept. But your body, it remembers the rest.
It remembers the room where you felt safe, but also where you were trapped. It remembers the living room, where you could only live at breakfast, lunch and dinner, and, if you were in luck, whenever your drunk father wasn't there. It remembers your first ever room, remembers how it was. Remembers how the childish patterns were painted over in blue when your brother inevitably got the room. It remembers how you were only ever in the back. Of pictures, because you were the tallest and you didn't need attention as much as the younger ones. Of the corridor, because you wanted to be far from them. Of the dining tables, always ready to leave as soon as your plate was finished. Because god forbid you didn't like something. God forbid you were full. Your body remembers how it gagged, when your father inevitably made you stay up until midnight to eat your plate, then would serve it back to you for breakfast. Remembers how disgusted you were. Remembers the tears. It remembers how you were never listened to, and eventually stopped listening to yourself. And your brain sees how much it changed.
It sees how the new occupants have painted over your brother's blue, over your green, over your sister's gray. Painted over every mark of a nice memory. Painted over your old house, and made it their new one. And you feel so unwelcome. Because you were never welcome, and because you are even less now. You'd want to cry, but you can't. It would be ridiculous. It is already ridiculous. How could you have forgotten ? How could you have ever thought it would be different? And now, you're crying? But you're not just crying because you're not welcome. You're crying because you miss it. You're crying because it's ridiculous that you could miss something that hurt you so much, but you do. And you feel bad. So you go home. The real home. Your real home. And you promise yourself never to go again.

One summer, you're bored, and you miss your old house. You've forgotten the promise. You've forgotten last time. And you go back. And it's all the same as before. And you cry, because you were hopeful. Like you always are.

Did Morrissey writes these lines JUST for me?? And the "oh" is the masterstroke. "And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to"

@serenitatis8074

A very striking song for me. Relatable and nostalgic. Thank you.

sorry, my English is terrible (especially in writing), but this song.. such a masterpiece, i can't just pass it by.
this song reminds me of the girl i loved. she was one hundred percent suitable for me. we were fun teenagers, with lots of ambitions and plans for life, I loved her with all my heart and I thought it would always be like that. as time went on, we grew up, we became farther apart, but it could be overcome. she just decided that I was too complicated for her: our views kept diverging, we fought more and more, and then she started to ignore me and my words. No matter how hard I tried to keep our relationship: she wouldn't compromise. I know it happens a lot. facing this situation personally was a big pain in my life, and it was even more painful to watch her leave me in silence. it reminds me of water running down the drain. I'm still young, and I know that this is not the end of life or love. it's just that this song reminds me of a time in my life when even in the cold autumn, my chest was warm (P.S. I'm a girl, so if you're disgusted by it, just ignore it)

no one will ever know. to talk but never be heard. to be seen but never sought.

La primera vez que escuche este tema, me enamore completamente. Que manera de representar toda la angustia y malos recuerdos que te producen las viejas casas en las que hemos vivido parte de nuestras vidas. Grandes The Smiths, unos genios <3

@kimochiii883

yo tomo "casa' como metáfora

@e.8023

Personalmente, creo que la canción habla de dos viejas casas distintas. La primera seria el lugar presente, que trae malas memorias por todo lo que paso ahi. Morrissey ya no quiere ir ahí porque ya no es lo mismo, y la persona que estaba en ese lugar se ha ido. En la última estrofa, Morrissey habla de querer volver a la vieja casa aunque nunca lo hará, que para mí representa ese anhelo de volver al pasado, cuando las cosas eran distintas, aunque ya no es posible porque todo ha cambiado. Espero que se me entienda bien.
