@musicinreellife: 500 Days of Summer + The Smiths is peak indie heartbreak 💔 Today marks the anniversary of There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, released by The Smiths on June 16, 1986 as part of The Queen Is Dead. The song later became an official single in 1992, but its legacy only grew with every generation of hopeless romantics, indie kids, and anyone who has ever turned heartbreak into an aesthetic. About the movie: 500 Days of Summer became a modern cult classic for the way it flipped the romantic comedy formula. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom and Zooey Deschanel as Summer, the 2009 indie film follows a nonlinear breakup story about love, memory, obsession, and realizing that the person you romanticized may not be the person you actually knew. Tom and Summer. The Smiths. That “to die by your side…” lyric. A cult classic movie meets a cult classic song 🎧
