Songs That Saved Your Life (Revised Edition) by Simon Goddard

Reveals the stories behind every track (including unreleased out-takes), catalogues all the group's UK television, radio and concert appearances and features interviews with original band members, producers and associates. Formed in 1982, The Smiths' brief but brilliant career lasted just five years - but the music they left behind distinguished them as one of the greatest British guitar groups of all time. 'Songs That Saved Your Life - The Art of The Smiths 1982-87' reveals the stories behind every track (including unreleased out-takes), catalogues all the group's UK television, radio and concert appearances and features interviews with original band members, producers and associates.
"Songs That Saved Your Life is an essential volume for Smiths fans, a labor of love where the love clearly shows and fanaticism is forgiven" - Spectrum Culture "An exhaustive look at all things Morrissey...even the most diehard fan is bound to learn something new." - USA Today's Pop Candy "If The Smiths did indeed craft the songs that saved your life, The Smiths: Songs That Saved Your Life will be the ideal literary companion to your music library." - Blogcritics "Goddard's book is an invaluable resource for Smiths fans who've ever wondered where Morrissey's wordplay came from." - AV Club "If you are a Smiths fan and you want to know every single thing about every song they ever wrote, this will become your new Smiths bible!" - Pop Cults
