New Town Velocity - The Video:
Shot around various buildings and areas of Greater Manchester, the video is based on the Psychogeography philosophy of the Situationist Movement.

The song is taken from the critically acclaimed album The Messenger and was inspired by Marr's own story of the day he left school aged fifteen to pursue a life as a musician and features him in the council estate of Wythenshawe where he grew up.

It was directed by David Barnes who directed the Upstarts video and art directed by Subset.

My 8 years old son asked specifically for this song today... I'm such a proud dad 😀

"Left home a mystery, leave school for poetry.
I say goodbye to them and me, mission velocity.
It made me just run faster now, I’m gonna take it off driving round.
Make up my mind, leave the windows down.

I’m in something alright, I know
I got to live it up, oh-oh, oh. I can’t resist, make for zero, oh, no. It turned out like I said it would, can I get the world right here? (...)

Hello, you mystery. Mission velocity.
Here comes our poetry, new town velocity." ❤

So many bands loose their magic when they part ways. Not the case here. Music/lyrics just wonderful

As soon as the first chords start, you know something magic is going to happen.
Johnny Marr, the God.

This and “Hi Hello” are His best solo songs to date IMO. Has that Beautiful Smiths jangle, melody, & feel. This is right in Johnnys wheelhouse. Well done good sir.

This song has an "Under the Milky Way" vibe, and these are the best type of songs to me. Keep It going Marr!

Left home a mystery
Leave school for poetry
I say goodbye to them & me
Mission velocity
It made me just run faster now
I'm gonna take it all
Drive around
Make up my mind
With the windows down
I'm in something alright I know
I got to live it out uh-oh
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here?
Step out to symphonies
They play on for you and me
When we faced that July down
In uniforms
One and one, no wrong
We chased that summer down
I'm in something alright I know
I got to live it out uh-oh
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here?
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here?
Hello you mystery
Mission velocity
Here comes our poetry
New town velocity

I’m starting to believe Marr made better music than Morrissey

I heard this one in Argentina, when the album wasn't released yet and thought...this guy is unique

Not a lot of people know this, but, it has always been Mr. Marr's job to sort things out. Seriously. Check it out. If it wasn't for him, The Smiths would not have lasted five months, let alone the five years they did.
Anyhow. Here is Mr. Marr soothing the souls of old fans of The Smiths - who really ought to know better because - Morrissey's always been like that. Always. Anybody claiming otherwise just did not have their eyes open fully.
Nevermind. Doesn't mean you cannot enjoy The Smiths any longer because, that is just ridiculous. I have all the LP's. What difference does it make (smirk) whether I play them or not? Exactly.

Johnny is carving out quite the solo career! Stunning melodies and beautiful, chiming guitars that combine with atmospheric synthesizers and Johnny's surprising, sturdy can do no wrong-has a gift for creating majestic tunes that soar above the madness and monotony!
