[L3dtube]

[dontferg]

I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life.

[bonniebardowski]

fantastic

[johnbaz]

The older I get the more this resonates with me . This version can also be found on the Threesome Soundtrack circa 1994. Pick it up if you can - it's solid.

[ImOfNope]

From what I read on his website, I believe he's in the process of remastering all of his music and bringing it up to date via newer media. Might be finished already.

[happyhead64]

@ImOfNope is there any new about any new music? a new cd? song?

[ImOfNope]

@happyhead64 I don't know. I want to see a concert.

[SSweetAngel]

I'm very excited by the lyrics, they're totally amazing.

[MsMoviestar1]

GREAT VIDEO CHANGE IS A GOOD THING ESPECIALLY FOR ME THNKS

[Wahnsinner]

Super video, super video, super video!!!

[MrEarthdance]

I love you +I don"t even know your name!!

[wilmanan]

the title is "This Is The Day" from Mind Bomb album version. anyway thanks for posting, one of the greatest band!

[9thaspect9]

@wilmanan

Its of Soul Mining not Mind Bomb

[9thaspect9]

@wilmanan

 The original 'This is the day' is of Soul Mining not Mind Bomb and this is just a remix of the original.

[wilmanan]

@9thaspect9 i'm sorry, you're right... :)

[eselgeist]

i prefer this version so much more.  the simpler sounds are more intimate.

[ogdjjohnnyflashback]

been looking for this remix thank you for sharing..

[djbethell]

It's called "This Is The Day".

[JoePassIsMyIdol]

@djbethell Not this version; this remixed version is called "That Was The Day."

[cyberluca1]

really good thank you sophia

[virginiaeb]

what a voice Matt Johnson

[carlosmvicente]

this is not the original it's far better, but still this wlll be the day ...

[lulusisidf]

Prefiro a original.

[nucleardude11]

this version sucks

[dianisjoplinhippie]

es realmente buenisima *.*

me encantó aaaaaaaaah!

[cekmusic]

Dig it!

[altobiotero]

Casiotone Version...:D

[stetson6]

I wish someone would post "beyond love"

[lazban]

same as aou722, never heard this. where is it published? The singles?

[jrok68]

I found it on the Disinfected EP

[aou722]

never heard this version, thanks for posting!

[Maxdwolf]

Love the lyrics to this one.

[jrok68]

This so takes me back to the early 90's, Gary Crowley and 'The Beat'..

Matt Johnson is just fantastic...

[UKadministrator]

love his music, too bad he's homophobic.

[mkbarnes]

Homophobic? Not sure what you are basing this claim on. Certainly nothing I've heard or read even hints at it. Care to explain what you are basing this on?

[stantothedizzle]

Elaborate....

[Tubo430]

I NEVER heard he was honophobic !!! And I'm a big fan !!!

[nomores1]

listen to song over and over and your life will probably get better. lol- kinda like a Tony Robbins thing.

[makuus12]

I'd say it wouldn't. If you listen to it properly its one of the most depressing songs I've heard IMO.

[whaleit]

first time I have heard this version...very good but prefer the original. These guys are incredible or at least their music and lyrics are! First timers have to listen to the relatively wide variety of songs the produced.

[nitzkaulitz]

i love themm so muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[crazyjay1977]

I've been a huge '80s fan my whole life, and I've just discovered these guys.  How in the hell did these guys fly under my musical radar for so long? This song, and this band is fantastic.

[lolucifer]

Yea, I only heard of these people awhile ago as well! I think the original of this is better. Do you like OMD?

[silvaooliveira]

continuo achando a "the best"

[davensheri]

Love this song. reminds me of the days when I was a DJ for the Va. Tech radio station WUVT fm 90.7 . A friend of mine was from Jamaica and pronounced them as Da Da.

[silvaooliveira]

essa versao ficou melhor

[MoreToleranceNow]

I love this song. It broke my heart to hear it being used in a goddamn M&Ms commercial or whatever that was.

[linuslinjen]

Great swedish band

[IJTop200]

It's great, I certainly agree. He's not Swedish though.

[paddywilson077]

awesome this brings back so many great memories from the 80s in aus as a teen.

[RayelenU2]

adoro esta cancion y el video. The the son geniales

[totallyclubbin]

WOW i fell sew awesome thanx!

[luarmand]

noooooooooooo how could you put this video!!! u r the best!

[loreztaken]

I do love this song. THE THE has been part of my life since first album came out. Thank you Mr. Matt

[kowaala]

the the is is super super ! !

[shivamparo]

essa é d ++++++

[CMVPNI]

This song is of the Re-Inenfected CD Single. A remix of Infected. Saw these guys twice in Belfast. I've been to a lotta gigs in my life, but boy did the bass thump and the Lyrics flow smoothly. If you haven't heard it, listen to Heartland, a poignant song of eighties UK which is still relevant in todays society. I'd love tro have a pint with Matt Johnson, his lyrics anmd songs, he is the MANN!!

[gramtcd03]

MAtt your a fucking godsend man.. love your music.. your your lyrics.. thanks for everything.. love nothing more than chilling out to your music after a long days fucking work.. >3 matt

[SEANBANOG4]

for me...thethe made me feel a little less weird about expressing emotion and for a 14 yr old that was a gargantuan help,,,,saved me tonnes on head doctors

[silvaooliveira]

essa versao tambem é the best

[nitzkaulitz]

nevr be someone soo pure like him

a genius

[nitzkaulitz]

gadd i want to cryy who knew him ?

i love him so muchhhhhh

math jonson no one like him (:

[ComedyJesus]

Thank you SO much for posting the greatest band ever.

[zardozspeaks2u]

The The defined my youth - still love the music and the lyrics are works of art. Soul Mining and Infected two of the best albums of all time - theres just nothing around like The The of then. Why was Infected never released on DVD?

[Sparrow10567]

You ruin the orginal SOng!

[Benayrunyon]

"You didn't wake up this morning because you didn't go to bed, you were watching the whites of your eyes turn red...." Pure genius!

[happyhead64]

He is constantly redefining himself. I love everything Matt has ever done. A true artist.

[SSGaidenBrokugeto]

This song is great!

[tarkak9]

Great, great song.

I only hope it isn't completely ruined by being used for a shallow political 'theme' song. Give credit to Matt to say 'no thanks'.

[BlondeFrank]

I'm not sure if the tears in my eyes are form my old memories with this song or the brilliance of the lyrical content...wow. I don't know of any other musician of that era that stirs me at my

ripe old 48 years, I also love Hanky Panky.

[lanesstar]

la canción de mi vida

[IndioFreak]

You just 11 honey? There are some 35 year olds I know who WISH they had your refined musical taste! Congrats!

[Dylansmyboy]

wicked tune.. i've also got this mix on a cd single. havn't seen the video before tho. nice one sophia. you have a top taste in music for an elevan year old...........

[i89mondo]

BEST BAND EVER

[Quisyfrottesypique]

This is the type of comment that saddens me.

[elliflint]

That comment makes me happy

[Quisyfrottesypique]

Yes, I think that they are the "Best Band Ever"... Is there a better more dignified way to say that without sounding like gushing teens? That is why it saddens me...

[elliflint]

Not a band.

A man.

[IndioFreak]

Matt Johnson sounds like a bloody band. Why? Strong concept behind beautiful words maybe?

[happyhead64]

@elliflint absolutely!! Matt Johnson was/is SUCH an incredible and brilliant musician. No one even compares to what he does.

[lambrettali125]

Seen them live 3 times better each time.

fanatsic stuff keep posting vids

[Madsennullo]

What an incredible voice!!!

[stew1211]

Does anyone remember the album "Mind Bomb"

Am I really that old?? Sorry to bother you, back to my nap!

[arnsider]

Do i remember Mind Bomb??!! I still quite often listern to it! How sad is that. Love THE THE nobody quite like them

[habeebee]

Mind Bomb? I remember Soul Mining fondly.. so i guess that means I'm *really* old...

[timtak1]

Never heard of Mind Bomb, but Soul mining, yes.

[pulchralutetia]

Mind Bomb was a great album, but Infected was purer in my opinion.

[GoldGoldStone]

No, this is Matt remaking his own song. You can tell it's more modern than the original.

It was released on the Dis-Infected EP from 1993-94. Great updates of Infected and reworkings of the then recent Helpline Operator and Dogs Of Lust.

Normally I hate artists re-doing their own songs but The The do it with inventive style.

[mskears]

The original had accordion instead of hamonica. And a live band behind. This is programed.

I want some M&M's now. Time to go raid the kids Halloween bags.

[mskears]

I think they are using a harmonica and midi for the backing music on this one. It does sound kid of crappy compaired to the original version. The harmonica doesn't sound too bad. But, That programed midi sounds cheap.

[robken0174]

noooo, you mean the gorrilaz sound like This.

the the did the original around '84.

[fallxchild014]

The original version of this song always makes me nostalgic. This remix is so appropriate for me. Love it.

[horacio0206]

this is cool, but the acordion (of the original) sounds deffinitively much better for me

[smirnoffgalaxy]

hey it does sound like the gorrilaz lol good spot

[rhodesiano]

i definetly like this version more. its stronger and deeper

[silvaooliveira]

i like both

[sergejg2]

I like more the original but this one is cool cause it sounds kind of like Gorillaz Style

[NativeHollywood]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G version. I first heard this song 20 years ago, never liked it like this.

[Fallingdown232]

This song makes me sleepy

[spasserbente]

this rocks!!!!

[expeditopaz]

This version is also known as "Desinfected Version". It can be found on "45 rpm - The Singles" collection, which is a must-have.

[jschultz734]

I love this version

[RubyTwilite]

Very cute alternate version!

[andres6868]

is there a version of The The's Heartland in YouTube? I haven't been able to find one, and it's one of my favorite songs.

[meepala]

There was one but it got scrapped recently.

[glazik]

I like the original better.

[natesot]

what a great version of this song

[bettinae]

thanks for posting !!! Very nice version !!!
