Awesome song. One of my all time favourites. I remember waking up to the world with this song. Ahhh...the flush of youth. My oversized bold graphic "The The" concert shirt was my prized possession.
"today's talentless crap" christie? not fair. there were a couple of great songs from the the, but other than that they are not so great. this is the day and uncertain smile are good songs. their best album was soul mining, which was made shortly after columbus crossed the ocean to find america (long time ago). don't get me wrong i like the the, but you can't say nobody else has any talent. what about pearl jam? pearl jam came and went after the the faded. there are other good bands.
What happened to him? It is surely the best music around.... all day and all night it got me through art school.... on repeat.... one of the greatest tunes ever... still sounds so good!
i was introduced to this song 18 years ago by and old girlfriend. To this day it still has the ability to make me smile or cry depending on my state of mind. It has to be one of the best songs ever written. It reminds me of someone very special. Olivia if you are out there i will always love you xx
Soul Meaning, uno de los mejores discos de todos los tiempos, ésta pieza y, sobretodo Uncertain Smile son de lo mejor de la historia, Mat Johnson es un genio. Gracias por poner el video.
Matt Johnson was a genius! this is definetly one of the great songs that he wrote, there is so much more, i wish he'd get back in the game, so much talent so young, i am sure he has evolved even more now
At 2:47 is that the pier in the background that they have that flying machine contest every year, where people get a running start, jump off the end of the pier, and crash violently into the ocean?
I'm glad Matt has decided to keep his cult musical works away from the candlelights as they are; I guess that makes his craft so exclusive for demanding audiences. Hats off to a real artist.
I totally agree. I love telling people that I love THe The and have them ask me "WHO?". Besides the M&M's commercial, I have never heard anything by The The on the radio. I think during the 80's, I MIGHT have heard "Infected" somewhere, but thats about it. His music is still timeless....Soul Mining is on my list of the 10 best albums EVER recorded. Every song on it is a classic....
great song......crap video

If you were a girl, I'd take you to bed just for this line. I'm shocked by it, and I heartily agree.

Great. Reminds me of schooltime back in 1985.
Wondering if Marc Buser is listening too?

I agree 100% ! Probably has done alot of behind the scenes work - plus overshadowed by today's talentless crap!
