But he isn\u2019t despairing. Atop a jangly, post-punk riff, Marr takes on the Sisyphean task of searching for light amid the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There Is a Light That Never Goes Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Johnny Marr - Spin (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VqGsu-5jluw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marr\u2019s narrator begins with a pep talk: Look alive. Everything around you, all at once. It\u2019s coming fast, and you better pay attention. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/the-smiths\/there-is-a-light-that-never-goes-out\">There is light<\/a> in all this darkness, but keeping your eyes wide open is the only way to finally see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Look alive now everything\u2019s coming,<br>Come around now, anything goes.<br>Take a ride round the long way to myself,<br>I get lost down every road<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humans seek patterns. Today, anxiety mounts over rapid change, like ubiquitous A.I. But nervousness about technology, governments, etc. is nothing new in rock and roll. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O4SzvsMFaek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">It\u2019s not like Thom Yorke didn\u2019t warn us on <em>OK Computer<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I&nbsp;spend all day looking for a sign,<br>I wait all week for something to find.<br>And it takes so long just to take my time,<br>There\u2019s too much coming into my mind<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The narrator is spinning out of control, but the chorus offers a reprieve from disorder. You can\u2019t control what you cannot control. \u201cOh, it\u2019s the way it goes,\u201d he sings. Oh well, whatever, never mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Days keep running through my head,<br>All the things we do when I lose, I spin.<br>Oh, it\u2019s the way it goes.<br>There is nothing I can say,<br>About the things we do, and I use I spin.<br>Oh, it\u2019s the way it goes<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See What\u2019s Doing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key to endurance is sticking around. Just keep going, and little by little, the successes accumulate. But Marr speaks to a feeling of always chasing life from behind. He says, \u201cThere\u2019s too much coming and too much time,\u201d but most anxiety happens when we feel we\u2019re running out of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Come around now see what\u2019s doing,<br>Stick around now see what we done.<br>Getting lost in the thoughts racing from behind,<br>There\u2019s too much coming and too much time<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the world moves on. And it\u2019s not the end of the world until, well, the end of the world. So until then, there\u2019s always a chance to change fortunes. And that glimmer of light is hope, which is the opposite of despair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>World turns, the days go by,<br>Comes round to make me try.<br>Gets too close,<br>The day too much on me, oh<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by Elena Di Vincenzo\/Archivio Elena Di Vincenzo\/Mondadori Portfolio via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In \u201cSpin\u201d, legendary guitarist Johnny Marr articulates the dizzying feeling of the modern world\u2019s \u201ceverything\u201d vibe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":5488,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Elena Di Vincenzo\/Archivio Elena Di Vincenzo\/Mondadori Portfolio via Getty Images","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[521,18],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-5486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-johnny-marr","tag-rock-music"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"Johnny Marr","term_id":521,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/johnny-marr\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
