The Boy with the Thorn in His Side, released in 1985, reflects Morrissey’s frustrations with the music industry and fame. With its poetic lyrics and Johnny Marr’s intricate guitar work, it became one of the band’s defining singles. The official video, directed by Ken O’Neill, was filmed in RAK Studios and features the band performing, offering a minimalist but iconic visual representation.
