The The - That Was The Day Lyrics

Been crazy about music for 49 years now. Have a massive collection and play the guitar for 30 years. If I was only allowed one album on a desert island it would be The The.
Matts lyrics fit the rhythms like a glove. There's some serious magick going on that few songwriters can do at this level. Dudes like Dylan. They get in your head like a brain virus and you're doomed to sing them in the car whilst, you're doing the washing up. I would saw my leg off before I let my The The albums go. I don't gush willy-nilly but this dude blows my wig.

my youth reborn,poet

I'm not sure what he was getting with the Bontempi backing track

love this as much as the original version the man is a genius i love him been a soulmate with him since 1983 i was only 16 then.

Billy Idol sounds similar o a few songs

I relate with this song. This song talks about how you waste away your life and wish for things to change without doing anything. The only thing that keeps you sane are you previous achievements .

hahasimp Yeah i totally agree with that quote.

He is my soulmate. 😍

Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall was ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days

You pull back the curtain
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day, your life will surely change
This is the day, when things fall into place

You could have done anything, if you wanted
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with your memories
That hold your life together, like glue

harmonica is unreal on this song

I was curious if there was any band already called "The The", so I googled it and here I am.

It would be cool if people knew about great music definitely this way. ;-)

And that's one hell of a band

lucky you : )

They are the definite article. Maybe you could try an indefinite article, like calling your band "An A".

you should check out the original version of this “this is the day”. my favorite song as a kid

Song for all moments . Great !

Best lyrics

Top song ever 😀

Superb song.

forever repeat ^^

Fuck Vevo

This was a new version of the song "This Is The Day" from the 1983 album Soul Mining, a decade later.

DJ Grim Exact! This one is part of the soundtrack of the movie THREESOME! :) 🌟 👍

I love both (version) of them! 🌟

How can you not be moved by the line "all your frinends and family think that that you lucky, but the side of you that they never see is when your left alone with the memoies that hold your life together like gule"

Jim Fitting is the harmonica player on this version

I wish I knew the name of the harp player. Awesome.
