Firstly opposing other arguments which state that liking The Smiths is 'not trendy', i disagree! I first got into them around the age of 12, which i was bullied through high school for my taste in music, I’m now 18 and i find loads of people pretending to like the smiths and other similar bands, the hipster types, because it's considered 'cool'. Usually these people only know Panic and Charming Man and upon questioning them about other songs and the band members they can't answer. Pretty pathetic excuses for human beings if you think about it, i mean imagine trying so hard to be 'cool' that you can't be yourself? To me this song has a more blatant meaning. I’m sure I’m not the only one but i have these dreams, i can’t see or recognize the man in my dreams but i get an overwhelming feeling of love, passion and desire towards him. I can feel him touching me, i can feel real arms around me, i feel like somebody somewhere loves me, it’s extraordinarily life like . I always wake up happy and slightly content but yet disappointed because I know it’s not real. No hope, no harm, just another false alarm. Maybe Morrissey had similar dreams? Or maybe I’ve missed his point completely, either way that’s the reason I feel so deeply connected to this song.

I can relate to this an awful lot! I've been listening to The Smiths since a really young age and have had the piss taken out of me for doing so. Yet, I am coming across so many artificial fans of late, who claim to love them purely to appear 'different' as such.

You sir are right... Now The Smiths are considered hipster, i don't know why, because of Morrissey's glasses? I'm 16 and it pisses me off that people think I'm a hipster just because i wear a Morrissey t-shirt...they need to get there music facts together...and i completely agree with you
