Track of the Week - 28 October 2018
The end of British Summer Time has brought with it the first hard frosts and Arctic air of the season. The car cover and next warmest coat are on standby, the gloves are already on.
Hand in Glove was The Smiths' debut single from May 1983 which, while an Independent hit, only reached number 124 in the main charts. For the 18-year-old me, listening to it on the John Peel radio show, it sparked the interest in (still) one of my favourite bands. Even though Morrissey's a chump now.
It's a love song of sorts, rather than being about literal gloves.
