THE THE - This Is the Day (Official 4K Video) Stream THE THE here: Subscribe to THE THE's YouTube Channel: 'This is the Day' is a song written by Matt Johnson and originally released as a single by his band, THE THE, on 2nd September 1983. A version of the song was included on THE THE's debut album, Soul Mining, released in October 1983. Below are a few words from Matt on the music video for this song, which was withdrawn from circulation until May 2023: “For many years I insisted this video be withdrawn and banned from circulation as I was so unhappy with it – the end result didn’t turn out at all like the director, Tony Dow, said it would. (Ironically, Tony, a lovely man, went on to make his name as the director of the British comedy sitcom Only Fools And Horses!). At the age of 21, I didn’t know the difference between film and video (on which this was shot). Because I was so disappointed with the video for ‘This Is The Day’, in future I insisted I would only shoot music videos on film. One of the next videos I made was with Tim Pope in NYC, shot on 35mm and probably my all-time favourite: ‘Out Of The Blue (into the fire)’. Videos like that are the ones that truly reflected how I felt and what my music was trying to express. But, as the years have advanced, my feelings towards the video for ‘This Is The Day’ have softened somewhat and I can see the funny side of it – particularly my haircut and the way I’m self-consciously skulking around! More poignantly, all my immediate family are in it; only two of us are now left, so for that purpose alone it’s worth re-viewing.“ WATCH OUT OF THE BLUE (INTO THE FIRE) MUSIC VIDEO ► WATCH LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH MUSIC VIDEO ► WATCH INFECTED MUSIC VIDEO ► WATCH THE BEAT(EN) GENERATION MUSIC VIDEO ► Follow THE THE: Website: Twitter: Facebook: Instagram: #THETHE #ThisIsTheDay #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy #THETHEOfficial #THETHEGreatestHits #THETHEThisIsTheDay #THETHEOfficialAudio #BestOfTHETHE #THETHEEssentials #THETHEPlaylist #THETHESongs #LoveIsStrongerThanDeath #Infected #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVolume3 Lyrics 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 curtains 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 seeIs when you're left alone with your memories That hold your life together, like glue You pull back the curtains 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 This is the day (This is the day) Your life will surely change This is the day (This is the day) Your life will surely change This is the day (This is the day) Your life will surely change This is the day (This is the day) Your life will surely change This is the day (This is the day) Your life will surely change This is the day (This is the day) Your life will surely change This is the day (This is the day) Your life will surely change This is the day (This is the day) Your life will surely change
