I've put off doing it for ages because I find the lyrical content so extremely emotional and sad, but I felt like it was time I could tackle it, so here it is!
About the song (from Google):
Released: 1984
Album: Hatful of Hollow
Artist: The Smiths
Genres: Alternative/Indie, R&B/Soul, Rock, Folk
Lyrics:
In a river the colour of lead
Immerse the baby's head
Wrap her up in the "News Of The World"
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of 25
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will
Oh, save your life
'Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again she left pain
Oh, please save your life
Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
Oh
Oh
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
Oh
Oh
Oh
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad

halfway through and i wanna say that im convinced you do the best covers on any smiths song. its so good
-
Oh my god! You covered my favourite Smiths song and the way you did it is... Your voice without a doubt gorgeous but the guitar playing deserves special attention
-
The tone of your voice combined with this reverb is exquisite. Your vibrato is perfection with this song. Maybe your finest cover that I’ve heard.
-
Jesus Radiohead and The Smiths are the types of artists that shouldn't be covered but here you are, literally bringing something to these already perfect masterpieces. That's huge. Talent is so cool, wow, thank you again for sharing.
-
Adam you're the undisputed king of covers of The Smiths on YouTube that was bloody excellent mate
-
Brah, please stop making me cry tears of joy. I hope non-musicians realize how awesome you are pulling this off. I love your voice, I love your touch on the guitar. I don’t know what your plans with this are but I hope I see you in a massive production as soon as possible. Much love!

You capture The Smiths unquestionable sincerity.

I would pay money to see this live. I havnt seen any covers that even come close. Incredible.

From someone who was there back in the 1980s - top class.

Yep. I commented on "There Is A Light" asking if you could do this song, and yes you can. Perfect cover. I'm going to start watching your fingers in these videos to try to learn some of these songs I've always wanted to play.

Hello Adam! I am out of words to describe how beautiful this cover is. Just wanted to say thanks for such a delightful gift to my ears (and my heart too)

I always love your Smiths covers, and I wept with how much sweetness you mix in with the bitterness. Gorgeous.
