| I think ' sing me too sleep ' is probably referring to ' a taste of honey ' by shelagh delaney. Morrisey used this book loads in his lyrics.. | |

| hmmm--never heard of that book but I'll check it out. Love this song. I recall being in my mid-twenties, sitting at Auditorium Shores park in Austin at dusk listening to "Louder than Bombs" on my little boombox. Everything seemed so centered and serene listening to this song. There'll never be another Smiths--they made such a huge impact on my life. Happy and sad at the same time and that's the genius of their songs. Morrissey got too formulaic in the 90's but nothing will ever touch these Smiths songs. | |

| I found this in the Perks of Being a Wallflower too! Afterwards I got really into the Smiths. This song is beautiful. So sad without being weepy...just calm sad. | |

| yeh, i completely couldnt agree anymore. Perks of Being a Wallflower is an absolutely incredible book, and also got me listening to this song. In the book, the song Landslide by Fleetwood Mac is also mentioned. Thats definitely one of my favorite songs, i prefer the Smashing Pumpkins cover of it tho. Definitely check it out. | |

| i also love the book Perks of being a wall flower. but actually i heard of this song, from a friend. but i didnt know what it actually was until i read perks. then i downloaded it. ive been listening to it sonstanly since then. i cant stop. i love this song! its my faviorite. i truly believe that if anyone needs to just sit arround all day and listen to a song, or listen to a song when you need to to cry, or if you are depressed, then is this the song for that. i love it with all my heart. everything feels right when listening to it. i think thats why ive been listening to it non stop. | |

| I guess it's the thing to do...that is...mention Perks. The book is absolutely amazing, i love it. Asleep is also one of the saddest songs i have ever heard. If you liked this listen to sigur ros or bright eyes. great bright eyes song: it's ok we can still be friends | |

| (One of the handful of people). I first heard this song in 1988 and it blew me away. Of course it's about suicide, that's a given. It's also a common theme of the next world being a better place, like Death of a Disco dancer and There's a Light That Never Goes Out. | |

| I read the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and really dug it. I listened to this song and dug it even more. I was wondering if anyone out there had a list of all the songs mentioned in the book? There was a clear list of a few of the songs in the book, but a few were unclear such as the song played when Charlie felt infinate. | |
