The Smiths - Girlfriend In A Coma

ORIGINATION Best of the Smiths
RECORDED IN
1987
LAST LISTENED TO
last week
RATING
★★★★★

I was quite a latecomer to The Smiths, after manfully resisting their unique charms throughout all of my youthfully foolish music clique years. It was more than a few years after that silly behaviour was done with that I finally purchased one of their albums, even then only opting for a collection. It has been over thirteen years since I bought that CD and somehow I am yet to buy another of theirs, which is rather foolish considering that I've enjoyed every song on that first-bought collection. I'm in no hurry.

Girlfriend In A Coma to me is the quintessential Smiths song: a clean, well-played pop tune with a dark heart.
