Biography:
The The is an alternative/new wave band formed in 1979 in London, England. Matt Johnson (vocals, multiple instruments) is the only constant band member. Releases are fairly few and far between but over the years The The has managed to sell several million albums internationally.
Johnson formed the first version of the band in 1979, with synth player Keith Laws. The group, after opening for Scritti Politti, issued its first single "Controversial Subject" on the 4AD label in 1980.

The The~ Phantom Wall
1,2,3,4 (ONCE)
(1)Sensed but Unheard
(2)As the curtain softly s(3)tirs
Its n(4)ot just a memory
(1)But it lives and breathes(2)
Watching over you whilst you (3)sleep
Kneeling be(4)side you when you weep
(C)Hey, don't be afraid(F)
(E)Don't try and run awa(F)y
Because p(C)ain can be your fr(F)iend
(E)As it exp(F)lains
The (Dm) answers to (Em) your questions
C(F)onsoles you in blue (G) reflections
Listens (Dm) to your so(Em) ul's confessions
Then (F) leads you in (G) new directions
So open your heart again
And feel the walls dissolve
Something's whispering to you
It's time to let go
Because the only thing that stays the same
Is that everything must change
Everything must change
Hey embrace your pain
You cannot run away
And pain can be your friend
As it explains
The answer to your questions
Consoles you in blue reflections
Listens to your soul's confessions
Then leads you in new directions
And all the while that you were waiting
For love to keep the light from waning
It's pain that stops the heart from hating
That cures the mind of hesitating
That helps the soul in separating
From everything that it's been blaming
Everything's changing
