This book does not need to be disected it bluntly speaks for itself. I have not heard of The Smiths but because of the reference that they were used in this book it made me curious to research what reasons Stephen Chbosky had to mention them and this song. Just by reading the lyrics alone I now see why Stephen had choosen them. I am heading out today to find any and all of The Smiths albums. This song, just by reading it, honestly made me feel infinite. :) | Reviewer: Stephanie | 11/7/09 to the person below me: i'm sorry but i don't see how knowing a song through a book is pathetic. It's touching that an author would love a song so much that they include it into their book so readers can relate better to the book. And yes, that is how i learned about the song...and i'm only halfway through the book. . | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/23/09 It's quite pathetic that most of you only know the song through a childish book. And yes, I would rather these people didn't find the song at all. Also, you people who apparently put this song on repeat for a few hours before bed and sob, try seeing a psychologist. Meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/23/09 People tend to read too far into Morrissey's lyrics sometimes. The song is clearly about a lonely person who want's to die ("I really want to go"). It really cannot be any clearer. Those who found this song through that book, go buy the album Louder Than Bombs. It is filled with great tracks like this one. <3 | Reviewer: Love | 9/14/09 i must admit, i had never even heard of The Smiths until i read THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER. i listened to this particular song first, and fell in love with them. i listened to so many more of their songs and now they are on my playlist for a literature project. (on a less important note, my crush loves them ^.^) THANK YOU, CHARLIE! (: Asleep cover | Reviewer: Adah | 9/7/09 Yeah I have to admit I listen to the Smiths because of my love for "Charlie", my fictional character soul mate. I play around with some friends in a kind of band, we usually just mess around covering Bob Dylan or the like, some original folk bluesy stuff and we have our own little private cover of this song. I have heard very few songs as perfect as this, and if you like the vibe of this song listen to the original Bob Dylan version of Knocking on Heaven's Door. (I promise, that's a Dylan song where you can understand him.) Much the same vibe. I love that so many other people love The Perks of Being a Wallflower by the way. Also good, Rule of the Bone by Russel Banks. love it | Reviewer: allie | 9/4/09 this song is so amazing. it maybe very short but yu have to really listen to the lyrics to understand it. the book the perks of being a wallflower is amazing it relates exactly with this song. if yu havent read tht book i really recommend it. its amazing it really makes yu think about life and everything but yu really have to focus on it to really understand. im reading it for the second time now. it will always be one of my favorite books and i will never get tired of reading it. READ IT ITS AMAZING!!!!! Beautiful..... | Reviewer: cruizr | 8/31/09 How can you NOT think this song is about suicide? What a classic Smiths song....I listen to these old tunes and almost laugh at how pathetic the music industry has become now. Nobody can touch this stuff in terms of pure song writing, emotion, melody, etc. hmm. | Reviewer: brittle | 8/30/09 The Smiths probably don't care what you say about their song... although they may be entertained by how many people know it now through a medium that isn't their own. i think it's funny that a book has touched so many people and caused them to go and find a song. I love that, I think it's incredible. I adore the smiths, and i've never read the perks of being a wallflower, but i might now... I think this song IS about suicide... but that's just how i see it, how i relate to it. If you like this song because you found it in the book, you should listen to more of their songs. They're brilliant <3 I grew up with these guys playing the background of my life(when nirvana and the cure werent). they're really sweet. lovelove brittle xo Song Meaning and Perks of Being a Wallflower | Reviewer: Emma | 7/17/09 This some is about someone who is extremely lonely and is talking about suicide (that would be the falling asleep part). Don't try to wake me in the morning 'Cause I will be gone -(meaning he'll be dead) I just wanted to say this because tons of people are putting theories out and, of course I can't be certain because I'm not the writer of the song, but I am almost positive of the meaning because I feel the exact same way. Also, about the Perks of Being a Wallflower, I thought that the other of that book was extremely creative in putting that song into the book because I think they relate so well and it's interesting to find something outside of the book that seems like it's just another chapter or something... great book if you haven't read it, I recommend it.
