Absolute stunner, Mr White. Always loved this song in particular. Either sung by the big man himself and now by you.
Being a Morrissey and Smiths fan, and specifically regarding his solo career, the period in which you actively participated is my personal favourite. Fans should know that Alan Whyte has a total of 80 known songwriting credits with Morrissey. Co-written and/or performed on all of Morrissey's albums issued between 1992 and 2009:
Your Arsenal (1992), Vauxhall and I (1994), Southpaw Grammar (1995), Maladjusted (1997), You Are the Quarry (2004), Ringleader of the Tormentors (2006), and Years of Refusal (2009).
By no means a small feat.
And realistically, it can be said it has been nothing but downhill since you parted ways. Thus, egoistically, I wish you would both work together (once more) in a near future, simply because one can only imagine the wonders that would spring out.
Lovely tune.

One of the best songs from the maladjusted sessions

I love this beautiful song; did you write both music & lyrics? And, I got to a couple of the UK concerts - great to see and hear you with M.

It feels like it's an attention deficity anthem reminding me all my time-blindness. I wish there was more to cover from that era. I mean Hanratty, I Know Who I Love, etc.

Somehow the song fits this current weather! Love your music sir

Hi Alain: unrelated question; where did the inspiration/ idea come from for the outro piano solo on Tomorrow, please?

[TheNolasco]

Alain, again thank you so much to play such pieces of art!

[richardlew]

Lovely, my fave Morrissey song. I prefer to see you on youtube than Morrissey. You should go on tour and play 2 album concerts like Peter Hook he does 3 hour concerts which NO never will. Cheers!
