“This Night Has Opened My Eyes” is inspired by and re-tells the events of the play "A Taste of Honey" by Shelagh Delaney, as Morrissey told interviewers at NME in the 7 June 1986 issue:
"At least 50 per cent of my reason for writing can be blamed on Shelagh Delaney who wrote ‘A Taste Of Honey’. And ‘This Night Has Opened My Eyes’ is a Taste Of Honey song – putting the entire play to words."
The song is featured on two of the Smith’s compilation albums: "Hatful of Hollow" and "Louder Than Bombs".
The song was only ever recorded for the September Peel Sessions – a feature on John Peel’s Radio 1 show which was primarily utilized to give promising artists and groups the limelight they needed to progress – so it’s likely it didn’t leave a lasting impression on the group.
