THE MONKEES’ “SMILE”: A LOST GEM THAT CAPTURED THEIR SEARCH FOR SOMETHING REAL Hidden between the bright pop hits and TV fame, “Smile” stands as one of The Monkees’ most revealing songs — a quiet plea for sincerity in a world built on make-believe.

Micky Dolenz’s tender vocal and Michael Nesmith’s subtle production give the song a haunting depth, hinting at the band’s longing to be taken seriously as musicians, not just television idols. Decades later, “Smile” feels like a window into their hearts — fragile, reflective, and beautifully human.
