What song feels like a secret between you and the artist?

I’m not sure any songs do at this point in my life, but in my teens almost everything by The Smiths seemed like it was written for me.

I remember this one particularly, thinking only Morrissey knows how I feel. Sounds daft now, but at the time The Smiths were a hugely important band for me, and helped me through some stuff.
