I love what he says in 5:34 - that anybody that appreciates music is already musical. Been in love with "Mind bomb" from the first listen, instant hook. Not sure there's anything close to the amazing "Good Morning Beautiful". I hope I get to experience it sang live...
What a perceptive, articulate and engaging man. I’ve been mesmerised by The The for over 35 years now. The lyrics, musical arrangement, videos, even the logo have always fascinated me. A true original, always pioneering new ground.
You have been the music of my life, I can listen to The The and enjoy it as much now as when I first heard it. It's as relevant lyrically now as the day it was released. Thank you Matt.
I remember about 22 years ago in Dublin waiting outside the olympia theatre after a gig to see if I could meet him leaving from the side door ..which I eventually did and got his autograph and told him what songs i loved and how much I love the band etc and what did I do walk away from Matt all excited , not even realising he was just standing there willing to chat more...still kick myself and the few drinkies I had 😂
So on point as always ,Matt you make it easy love your music .
"Music was my best friend."

Looking forward to this new album!
I appreciate that he’s a very private individual, but I’d still like to meet him in person and say “Thank you Matt” and just leave it at that

your music and , especially , lyrics, have helped and inspired me more than i can express, thanks for many genius tracks
Brilliant interview,not only is Matt a musical genius but he's also a very intelligent man. Great news....New Album....Tour....I NEED to be there !!
If recent times aren't inspiring for new The The music, I'm not sure what would be. Looking forward to it!
Blessings Matt... amen.
That was fab!
Really looking forward to hearing new material ❤️
Excellent , Look forward to new album an UK tour dates,
4 dates September 2024, Manchester Apollo for us.
It stuns me he's not a mega star. Wrote some of the best songs humans have ever created.
His lyrics are too deep for the mainstream. It'll never happen.
Muy interesante
2024? Ok, great.
