Released in May 1984, The Smiths’ “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” became the band’s first Top 10 hit in the UK, reaching number 10 on the charts. Known for its melancholic yet witty lyrics penned by Morrissey, the song addresses themes of dissatisfaction and disillusionment with life and employment. Johnny Marr’s iconic jangly guitar sound underscores the lyrics’ somber tone, blending indie rock with lyrical humor. Although the song did not have an official music video, various live performances and fan-made videos are available.
