02. ‘How Soon Is Now?’ (1985)
‘I’ve already waited too long and all my hope is gone’. It’s one of the band’s classics. A stand out piece of epic intensity which shows all band members at their best. Marr’s guitar is a blast, Joyce’s drums are heavy and their singer is facing another night of loneliness. Adolescent desperation at it’s best, a man trapped in his body. A lot of people have been there. And that’s why this song works.
