Almost 14 years ago, a YouTube user posted a homemade music video of sorts for “You Should All Be Murdered,” an even older song by Another Sunny Day, the solo project of UK singer-songwriter Harvey Williams. It was originally released on the band’s 1992 album London Weekend, and I’ve included it on many mixtapes and playlists since rediscovering it years later. “You Should All Be Murdered” shares the jangly guitar and moody lyrics typical of mid-80s Smiths (and Williams sounds uncannily like golden-era Steven Patrick Morrissey—you know, before we knew he’s a racist).
