I have loved The Smiths since their first singles, but I don’t keep up with any of my former idols anymore. I read the reviews of his 2018 album Low in high school where journalists who used to be big fans gave it a low score and hated it, then I knew I had to give it a chance. It’s absolutely fantastic, probably his best.

Stop (stop) watching the news
Because the news contrives to frighten you
To make you feel small and alone
To make you feel that your mind isn't your own
