Such an embarrassing story!!
I first got into the Smiths when I was about 22 (I'm now 27). I was a big fan of the TV series Charmed at the time, and loved the theme tune. I googled the show to find out what the theme tune was - it turned out to be a cover of How Soon is Now by a group called Love Spit Love. Then a little while late, I was watching something on VH1 called 100 Top Male Pop Stars or some such title, and suddenly, I heard How Soon is Now and recognised it. Went upstairs, googled the Smiths, bought Hatful of Hollow and the rest is history!
Morrissey has, quite literally, saved my life. I suffer from depression, and about three years ago, I had it very badly indeed. I was determined to end it all, I knew when, where and how and everything. Then one day, I was listening to the Viva Hate album, and I suddenly heard Moz say "angel, don't take your life tonight..." and it was almost as though he was speaking directly to me. I swear - and I know how melodramatic it sounds, but it's true - if it wasn't for that song, I wouldn't be here today.
Thanks Moz. See you on Saturday.
