how soon is now?

"How Soon Is Now?" is a famous song by the English rock band The Smiths, written by singer Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr. Originally released as a B-side in 1984, it later became one of their most enduring and well-known tracks, featuring a distinctive tremolo guitar sound and themes of isolation and yearning for love. The phrase "How Soon Is Now?" in this context is the title of the song, which explores feelings of impatience and emotional need rather than referring directly to a concept of time or immediacy outside of the song's lyrical meaning.
