THE THE
United Kingdom
Приєднався 22 січ 2006
The official UA-cam® Channel for British Multimedia group THE THE
THE THE was formed in 1979 by Matt Johnson. His genre is all his own: it is music of long shadows, high hopes, channelled anger, feverish passions and sweetly disturbing poignancy. It is pop and rock, blues and folk, soul and polemic. It spans alienated electronics to twisted cinematic soundtracks, guitar tumbling swing to crimson ballads, rants and prayers to diaries and hymns.

THE THE – COGNITIVE DISSIDENT
The new video for 'Cognitive Dissident' was made in conjunction with long-time collaborators: directed by Tim Pope with editing, VFX and projections by Vicki Bennett (People Like Us) and Peter Knight. ‘Cognitive Dissident’ (written by Matt Johnson and Barrie Cadogan) is the first single from Ensoulment, the first studio album from THE THE in a quarter century.
THE THE and Tim Pope have a long, shared history working on a variety of videos and projects, including The Comeback Special film of the concert at Royal Albert Hall in 2018, the legendary Infected The Movie in 1987 - the first ever long-form video album release - the Versus The World film of the concert at Royal Albert Hall in 1999, and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn in 1993, as well as many music videos over the years including ‘Pillar Box Red’, ‘The Beat(en) Generation’, ‘Kingdom of Rain’, ‘Gravitate To Me’ etc.
Vicki Bennett (People Like Us), acclaimed video collage artist, and Peter Knight (photographer) have also long been associated with THE THE having worked on the videos for ‘We Can’t Stop What’s Coming’ and the ‘Stolen Moments’ GlobalEyes remix by DJ Food as well as creating the kaleidoscopic, cinematic backdrop for The Comeback Special world tour.
“It’s always a pleasure to work with my dear friends, director Tim Pope, video collage artist Vicki Bennett, and photographer Peter Knight. Our times working together are not only very creative, but also full of laughter.”

🚫By all means of control ‼️🇧🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸 0:04
Matt Johnson still my go to guy when pissed off ,sweet bird of truth 1986 joined Royal Navy and nearly 40 year later still love his vibe
When you awaken….you get it.
Greatest thing in the universe!!!
I wonder "Who" is behind it all
I've loved The the for 30 years. But this? Oh dear.
Masterpiece 👌🏻
I did sound for the TV crew on this interview and later worked with Danny providing live bass and guitar effects on some of his records. Fun cat to hang out with ❤ I still have a whole load of his 12" singles 😃
WHAT NICE LYRICS MATT ‼️❤️ 2:26
I KWOW A LOT ABOUTH YOU MATT ‼️Been listening for a long time ‼️ 6:10
THE THE MATT GREAT MUSIC 🎶 AND YES UNDERSTAND FOR SURE ❤️‼️ 2:16
the authentic sound of grumpy old man, nice to have you back Matt
So ahead of her time!
The more I listen to this song the more I think it's from the perspective of someone who's come to the realization that both of the political tribes that think all of the worlds evils are the other side are dancing to the same song played by the same masters. It's all a big club, and none of us are in, as Carlin said.
It's far deeper and sinister than that. The political parties are just a tool for the men behind the curtain.
The best news of the year ❤❤❤
Tune tune TUNE . LOVING IT 👍
I just shared this with all my FB friends...they need to know
Genius
Since Infected album Matt Johnson has been on point
So GOOD!!!!!
What a come back. Brilliant stuff and someone singing about something serious for a change. Spot on lyrics the unthinkable is indeed becoming mainstream....God only knows the next ten years...
uncle Jim on the harp is bad ass ! saw them w/ Depeche in the ‘Couve & it was Wick !! Check Session Americana out to see what some of that band is up to .. word
Brilliant performance....this band are class from top to bottom
My favourite song and the most beautiful expression of humanity I have ever found. Thank you Mr Johnson. ❤
His voice is very similar in style and delivery to that of James Grant lead vocal/singer of the Scottish band Love and Money Love it 🎉🎉
Lyrically Apt masterpiece yet again
Xxxx. That’s powerful.
Byta Cassete.
The the ahead of its time for cereal
This song really touches your heart.
Can't wait to The the in September
I lije very much the balance between the very personal themes with the society ones, always profound and beautiful
The visuals on this video is wickedly cool. I’ve been a fan since the late 90s so I already knew the lyrics would be poetic and socially conscious.
