A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the song There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths in (just under) fifteen minutes.

Critics consider "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" to be one of the Smiths' finest songs. Simon Goddard wrote, "In a straw poll among Smiths fans today, 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out' would more than likely still come out victorious", which he credits to the "perfect balance" of Marr's compositional skills and Morrissey's lyricism.. AllMusic's Tim DiGravina calls it "a standout among standouts from the Smiths' masterpiece third album, The Queen Is Dead."

In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.

I hope you enjoy the podcast and please do leave feedback if you like what you you have heard.
