The The – «Soul Mining»
«Soul Mining» fue el primer álbum de The The , el nombre de grupo bajo el que se esconde Matt Johnson, y aunque no fue el disco por el que conocí a The The sí es mi favorito. «Infected», su segundo disco , que como no podía ser de otra manera es de 1986, fue lo primero que escuché de The The, sonaban distintos y sugerentes, mezclaban además política y música, «Heartland» y «Sweet Bird OF Truth» eran ejemplo ello. En seguida averigüe que aquel no era su primer disco y fue entonces cuando me topé con «Soul Mining» y aunque el inicio del disco me dejó un poco indiferente con el ritmo machacón de «I’ve Been Waitin’ for Tomorrow (All of My Life)» en cuanto empezó a sonar «This Is the Day» supe que aquel disco se iba a quedar conmigo para siempre, cuando llegué a «Uncertain Smile» no sólo el disco se había convertido en uno de mis favoritos sino que esta canción se metió en mi cabeza y ya no ha salido nunca. Con su tercer disco «Mind Bomb» The The tuvieron un cierto éxito comercial, especialmente con el single «The Beat(en) Generation», pero fue efímero y Matt Jonshon volvió a su posición de artista de culto. The The un grupo para elegidos.
Peeling the skin back from my eyes I felt surprised
That the time on the clock was the time I usually retired
To the place where I cleared my head of you
But just for today I think I lie here and dream of youI’ve got you under my skin where the rain can’t get in
But if the sweat pours out, just shout
I’ll try to swim and pull you outA howling wind that blows the litter as the rain flows
As street lamps pour orange colored shapes, through your windows
A broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes
Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smileI’ve got you under my skin where the rain can’t get in
But if the sweat pours out, just shout
I’ll try to swim and pull you out
