  I love how the dark the lyrics are in this song but how calm and relaxing the beat is, I can fall asleep to this easily or play this in the morning first thing when I wake up

  I remember how much in love with this song I was before I read the lyrics. It changed it so considerably that I now can’t listen to it too often. I miss that ignorance. But that was my privilege.

  Every note of Marr's guitar line for this song is exquisite -- perfectly imagined and realized...

  This is their sickest song and also their most lovely...the contradiction is ironic.

  Im so in love with Marr's and Rourke's intertwined musical genius on this song. Its like a lullaby. I understand Morrissey wanting to pay homage to the children hes singing about, but its in such contrast to the music. Then again, most of their music is i suppose..
