 Following The Smiths' somewhat somber or angry singles "Hand In Glove," "This Charming Man," "What Difference Does It Make?," and "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now", the band's fifth single "William, It Was Really Nothing" brightened things up in August of 1984, at least musically. Johnny Marr's guitar rings and rattles beautifully over the bouncy, lush backdrop created by Andy Rourke's bass, Mike Joyce's drums, and John Porter's production. Morrissey sounds completely relaxed and confident. He shows a great deal of restraint, adding showy trills and ornamentation only where appropriate. Imagery of rain falling "hard on a humdrum town" and ambiguity about the song's protagonist make for a poetic, fascinating two minutes. Rumor has it that William was Billy Mackenzie from The Associates. Morrissey and Mackenzie were friends, and possibly lovers, in the early 1980s The brittle atmosphere and energy of the song is a perfect fit with its stunning, emotionally devastating b-side "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want." The 12-inch single famously hid "How Soon Is Now?" as a third track. The song is compiled on Louder Than Bombs and Hatful of Hollow.
