The The - "This Is The Day"

[CrosbyiteBob]

Wish there was a 'Love' button!

[CrosbyiteBob]

This song gives me the boost i need to get out there, and try and achieve what i wanna do in life. Inspirational tune!

[richi6006]

hey you all should mention other underrated artists to our new generations. it's hard to get to this music without knowing where to begin the search

[FreddyPalato]

"All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days"

[FreddyPalato]

pezzo stupendo!

[liviaathaydes]

Nossa!!!!! É como uma máquina do tempo, te leva a algum lugar do passado numa fração de segundos, muito bom. Essa música é duka!!!

[morethanever100]

Memories hold your life together like glue - The The

[barbiedrwho]

[Generation1Terrorist]

HEY! the manics made it better, even though this is brilliant

[Posthuman2003]

fantastic xxxxx

[hejafish]

The Manics version is not that bad thethe fans. And at least Matt Johnson has got 1000s more fans because of it! Don't just leave it hear Manics fans!! thethe have plenty more fantastic songs just like this one!!! (Uncertain Smile, Heartland, Out of the Blue into the Fire are all as good as this)

[StuBlaze]

Damn the man ! Save the Empire !

[CathodeAddict]

@StuBlaze Screw the Rex Manning!

[TubeheadSkinnymike]

The beginning of the song is just mesmerizing and hypnotic.

[FourJamLions]

MANICs have destroyed this song for me :(

[TheVortexManipulator]

thumbs up if manic street preachers brought you here

[norriecybertims]

brilliant tune

[kilikilersful]

black rikk binangonan......the best tlga.......nice files.....

[smack2179]

First heard this song at the end of Empire Records...bought the soundtrack and it WAS NOT on there...needless to say, I was upset...great song!!

[Gruiforme]

THE 80s song---sorry u2

[PapaSmurf0101]

<333

[apellico]

Diggin the beat

[ScottQB4]

I remember the first time I heard this on an M&Ms commercial, and shortly after that my life did change. Not because of this, but a lot of other things, albeit not that good. It was like a sign from God or something.

[kikocheng]

this is the day i remember my fave music...forever new wave!!!!!!

[TheTornadoboy]

One of the greatest melodies of accordeons

[emersontotalyconfuse]

This is the original version?,looks even more cool (if it was possible...)

[fegorestomachal]

I wake up everyday with this music in my cell phone.

Great!

[youbestbequiet]

November 2nd Theme song for America.

[nicademus666]

this IS the day. What other day do you have control? Hmmmm? Carpe Diem!

[ntabile]

Don't you notice most New wavve song is danceable?? Salute to WXB 102.7 kahit mahinaang signal. Need to tap the aerial antenna to get the clear reception.

[TheTornadoboy]

Unforgetable melody which is still in my head. Unfortunately not in the head of radio makers

[cripplemind661]

everyday waking uo to this gives hope i love it :]

[rodley25]

aahhh takes me back to the DAY :)

[ZyxthePest]

A girl leaves me while I'm having surgery to become an internet star...sometimes I wonder if she has moments akin to this song...I'd like to hope she does.

[floatlikeair]

well like evrythngs to this world, i never forget this song, these are was started in my life evrything love u 85

[Rest1313]

hitler sucks

[aupian94]

@montes208 korek ka dyan the problem is cheap nga alng yung cassette tape BETAMAG hindi man lang TDK or SONY LOL!!!!!pero the best tshirts ng shambu sa Recto I think iisa lang na Newwave band ang pumunta sa PI idk kung newwave nga sila yung FRALIPPOLIPPI (sorry if the spelling is wrong LOL!)

[joby613]

Autumn '92. This girl sold me her '80 rabbit for 75 bucks. I had a crush on her then; and now she is lost to time. Now I thank her for the tunes.

[theghostofbuddyholly]

THIS IS THE THE THE THE DAY FMTCH WORDS CAN ONLY NEVER EXPLAIN

[aupian94]

@jake43325 I know what your talking about its on the second floor behind the hobby store with miniature soldiers and stuff you build.And all the Shambu Tshirts and the SCORE magazine.Those were the good ole days.

[montes208]

@aupian94 hahaha wala kcng mabilhang iba... trully an "underground" scene to its purest sense... colored pa ung cover ng cassette tapes ng highlighter :) ... haaay sarap balikan ang nakaraan...

[lordjarvis]

I agree, FMTCH. He is very overrated. He is one of the all time bests in his genre (can you define it?).

[syprnc]

man i love this song. used to listen to it nonstop when i first heard it! was it originally on an m&m's commercial or something?

[eyewoodsay]

just seemed 2 disappear...

[Mavarla]

*Great* sound upload! Thanks for posting!

[carolinacarvalho2]

Nossa até que enfim consegui achar essa musica, depois de tanto procurar! Amo essa música!

[z16joche]

I listen to this song before i do anything big, like before taking finals, going to science fair, or telling a girl that i like her. this song has been a big part of my life so far, absolutely brilliant.

[barneyrebel0123]

@z16joche Although I think the song's meaning was to be ironic, I truley do like your optimistic response. I never saw it that way. But you're absolutely right on. It's great that you discovered this in your youth.

[jake43325]

WXB 102.7 was thee best. i bought cassette tapes of this, the Waterboys, Gene Loves Jezebel, etc., at their store in harrison plaza lol

[cullyvan]

when i see the amount of views The The The (!) videos have had at least 20 years after it's quite incredible really.

It just proves that quality lasts in the end. Fuck Coldplay. Fuck Susan Boyle.

[009BRIBRI]

well i woke this morning because i didn,t go to bed..many a night i did this..now i reflect and wonder how my life changed..

[rochito11]

aum day

[gordonw01]

I've loved this song for years,but have totally rediscovered this song and band recently..this song really suits my mood these last few months.Have to listen to it twice a day..quite therapuetic.

[ninjafahkinsonik]

the best thing goin

[BABYTEETHvt]

for real.

[1groovygreg]

This is a masterpiece...

[globalpilot76]

Summer of '86...New Toyata Supra..cfny 102.1 fm on...Matt Johnson, The The ...and I'm wondering about a certain little red headed girl.......

[circuitRS]

@globalpilot76 that is awesome man. What color was the Supra? and where was 102.1Fm? I was 7.

[globalpilot76]

Arctic white, light tan interior (non standard) .

cfny 102.1 'The Spirit of Radio' was Canada's preeminant alternative music station located just outside Toronto. It 'broke' many many bands and became extremely influential to the alt. music scene....until they gave up their format free program style and started listening to 'consultants'....Shame.

[circuitRS]

Inline 6, white on tan, RWD - you could do no wrong back then. I was making my Mom take me to Top Gun in the theatre for the fourth time. I hate it when a unique product or service decides to "listen" to their market more through consulting and marketing firms-its a disaster 9 out of 10 times...

[FMTCH]

Matt Johnson the most underrated musician ever

[erniebeggs]

an S and M

[stone412]

I feel as happy as an m&m! LOL

[FactIsNowOppinion]

I am an M&M.. ya know?

[stone412]

As you have that very right to be, yes.

[nuwavghost]

Totally awersome!

[peterzang]

And I love the kids dancing on the roof to this, at the end of "Empire Records."

[dirtbag3321]

kuleeeet pa rin ng song na to!!!

[markc1234golf]

I was 24 rocking in Berlin and loved this more than anything beautiful.....

[175taylor]

Awesome is the only word that needs saying on this master piece.

[michgibbs1]

Awesome Awesome

[IBeGodly]

OSHIT. THIS IS AMAZING STUFF.

[guardianspirit82]

damn the man save the empire,

[soundwavescape]

love the The...amazing production, lyrics!!...timeless...Matt Johnson is brilliant!

[Cizcan]

Why does it always sound to me like her's saying, "These aren't the droids you're looking for."?

[robmetaxa]

Fantastic, heard this on Radio 2 today!!!!!!!

took me right back to my Student days!!!! can't believe this was out in the 80's, still would hold its own in todays world......... pity you NEVER here 'The The' when there is and 80's night, not all the music back then was dreadful!!!!

[KeaneQueen11981]

@robmetaxa i hear this on the radio today and I was so happy I haven't heard this in like 13 years.

[Biigfish559]

@robmetaxa

Only the mainstream bilgebelch commercial radio stations of then (and now) made the 80's so shit, missing all this class stuff cos it wasn't pleb friendly. (Pleb, N , 80's Chav)

[lkleggy67]

this song takes me bk to my younger days when music was great

[Mishaio]

i loved this...

Hearing this song reminds me. when music .. um well it's just great for those us . who were so out of our minds on dope.

Times have changed.. the song is still great

[MrManu1999]

Reminds me of being stuck in me bed-sit with no cash... good days!

[my2u100]

[liverpoolshoes]

[HongKongSusie]

[soundwavescape]

I had a feeling it was Jools!!

Uncertain Smile are the best. I have seen them 3 times up here in Seattle and they]

brought down the house.

[Lachlant1984]

I only became interested in The The back in 2005, this is the song that got me interested in them, and it's my sister's fault, thank you Megan.

[lacucas]

it opens up my apetite for M&M's, but seriously whoever din't live in the 80's doesn't know what the real and good music is like

[BEBETH1066]
