Matt Johnson was born in London's East End in 1961. He's been in bands since he was 11 years old. At age 17, fueled by a musical collection that included John Lennon, Syd Barrett, Tim Buckley, T-Rex and the great post-punk industrialists Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, The Residents and Thomas Leer, he formed The The by placing a "musicians wanted" ad in England's New Musical Express. From the release of their first singles -- on 4AD and Some Bizzare -- Johnson's passionate intelligence coupled with an accessible experimentalism marked out The The as something special. Although noted for his absence as much as his presence -- entire careers come and go during his lengthy rest periods -- Matt Johnson and The The are still thriving after twenty years, perio More... (Submit New The The Lyrics) (Submit New The The Lyrics) Review about The The interesting conclusion | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The I've been a fan of all forms of music since the 70's when I pushed in my 1st KISS 8-track. Don't be fooled . . . it was by no accident "The The" was an option listed in the $0.01 Columbia Record and Tape Club. It's exactly the proper value for the garbage that they put out :-) To say Matt Johnson is inarguably one of the best lyrists of his time, is a complete joke. Not to mention how gay his voice sounds. What a bunch of garbage. I have to puke . . . just reading the lyrics is inducing uncontrollable projectile vomiting. Agree with Anonymous | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The I've been a fan of The The since the late '80's, discovering them purely by accident and the fabulous $0.01 Columbia Record and Tape Club. :-) As was stated above, Matt Johnson is inarguably one of the best lyrists of his time. Not to mention his voice make my body and soul melt. This is the Day | Reviewer: love the the ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The Agree w/ jacks... well said. I too am 40 and relied on the entire Soul Mining album to get thru high school and college. Now, at 40, the song evokes totally different memories but yes, i think johnson is speaking about those who, to the outside world, have achieved a level of success but on the inside, still feel they should strive for more. like the saying goes, youth is wasted on the young :) This is the day | Reviewer: JACKS ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The This is such a simple and honest song, I'm 40 years old and it makes me nostolgic for my days of youth when anything seemed possible....now I am still optimistic but also realistic...the lyrics are bitter sweet...on one hand the person knows he or she has to change their current life style (which can be anything and allows all listeners to relate to the song), and plegdes each morning "this is the day" but I get the feeling the person does not follow through and thus "this is the day" starts off their day...everyday.....sad but sweet. Brilliant song about life's biggest issues | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Love Is Stronger Than Death performed by The The The The has given the world one beautiful song about, yes, love and death. It may be a simple pop song to hear and sing along with, but it almost becomes a chant, or a mantra, if you let it. Most people avoid the subject of death, out of fear, but, in my opinion, love IS stronger than death and we would do well to focus on that and love like there is no tomorrow. Also, the imagery of seasonal change and rebirth is stunning, especially sung with passion as it is. Is my review over the top? That is because, in the year 2008, I've grown tired of so many pop songs focusing on being angry in the material world. I yearn for more like "Love is Stronger than Death." No one writes lyrics like | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The Matt Johnson. In one sentence he can describe a whole landscape - feelings included. This song comes from one of his best albums. In my opinion, he is one of the most underestimated singer / songwriters of the nineties. different views | Reviewer: anon ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The It is fascinating you are so quick to judge. As in life and art what the artist is saying is clear. Yet we should be free to see what we want. I agree that he is singing about his abuses. But what I see is someone trying to escape from the confines of the cocoon he has created. You may see gloom in and doom and yet, I see there is still a glimmer of hope. That you can press forward to a new and better tomorrow. your other reviews sucks ! | Reviewer: frederick smith sedi ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The this song is about telling its audience us, that all those nights of drinking and cocaine binging cannot be taken back , and that even though you may be making plenty money, no amount of money will pay or compensate in any way for those wasted days. It is his own life experecince of being rock musicison & loaded on drugs that has then led him into a life of solitude and all he has left are his photos of old friends and glory days photos,which so like there gone to him. but what he does have is this song hehas created from this sorrow for us and all the world to share and compare, with our own experiences ! How it fits into the m&m song is beyond me... come on people learn rock n roll try the transplants for some rawness I love the song and the M&Ms commercials | Reviewer: rainlily ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The Great song! I love how the song and the M&Ms commecials go together. I was going to ask around about the song but I did a google search and found out the title and the band.

The The - a band underrated. | Reviewer: Bwanna ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The This, like SO many The The tunes, helps weave the image into the tapestry of our daily lives.

Thank you for teaching me to love this song, and love you, since it is now like you are talking to me through it. telling me that my love is indeed stronger then your death. This is the Day - en eternal tune | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The I heard the lyrics of this "THE THE" song on the radio this morning, and even though it made me late for my train, I had to sit in my parked car until the end. A simple and memorable melody, with a joyous brass accompaniment, and somewhat moving nostalgic lyrics that brought a small tear to my 45-year old eyes.
