Dec 10, 2010 - Fantastic lyrics. Won't hear lyrics this deep today (won't hear much accordion either)

Dec 12, 2010 - @hops5000 Cool -> and happy for you. But your post is actually an example of the antithesis of Matt JOhnson's message in writing this song. The chorus is entirely tounge in cheek. Its a GENX anthem.

Dec 12, 2010 - @JulOyt Got almost zero air play on main stream NA radio. Some in Europe, which in those days was far more progressive and ahead of the curve (as to now where its a race to the bottom). But even there, The The never really hit it big. The only charts you would have seen them prominently featured were the University \ College radio ones in the 80's. Then as now -> the best place to discover the best new music. No advertisers or wanker, morally bankrupt, yuppie bosses to tell you what to play.

redfishradical Says:

Mar 9, 2011 - When they first came out I thought they were as good as it gets. Songs like this & Uncertain smile've held up & are just as good today. Simple but beautiful melody lines, fantastic lyrics (never cliche "oh baby" tunes) & especially the phrasing on the vocals. I always had to sing straight ahead mostly with the melody. But this guy breaks up & pauses in unexpected places like an old music partner of mine used to do. Just love it! From metal to jazz, I just love music. But man, this a cut above!

May 4, 2011 - @redfishradical Ciao Bello! I'm right with you "Amico Mio"! As a kid in the mid 80s, when this song was released, during what came to be known as "The Second British Invasion", its sound and creative melody, employing "Continental" musical conventions like the accordian or concertina, were so unique, that when placed next to what my peers were listening to in the US, like REO Speedwagon or the J Geils Band, it was truly out of this world! Sinceramente! Blaine

TheObknox Says:

Sep 19, 2011 - i just looked at a list of the best songs of the 90's and didn't find a single song as good as this. as stated previously, music today is crap. Big steaming insignificants mounds of crap.

1unsung Says:

Sep 21, 2011 - @TheObknox wow, powerful feelings, Dude. I have loved Matt Johnson's work since 1984, and I still do. Mega and authentic, raw and unapologetic. Be safe, mate.

hundhun17 Says:

Sep 29, 2011 - music is not crap today. you need to look harder, times have changed. its harder for good music to get heard. the system has changed. its probably the best time for music for about 15 years.

mrcorkybuchek Says:

Nov 9, 2011 - @l0labasyang No offense but generally the older generations say that because the only contemporary music they hear is on the radio, which is just the tip of an amazing and diverse musical iceberg. Just as when The The were around, most people listened to shit like Culture Club and Wham, today Katy Perry and other disposable, soulless pop dominates the airwaves. There is some truly exciting music floating around today that many hundreds of thousands, even millions of us are enjoying.
