the The & Sinead O'Connor - Kingdom of Rain ( Mind Bomb - 1989)

[@deanparrota4619]

RIP Sinead O’Connor, this for me is her crowning moment just listen to the anguish in her voice, I can fully relate to this song…Masterpiece

[@marijkepeeters3007]

One of my favourite for many years ❤️❤️❤️

[@profilercms]

What a beautiful song. This album was the definition of the culmination of the 80's. Amazing recording, every song is a gem!

[@johndonald9692]

Greatest 'end of relationship' song of all time for me. RIP Sinead. x

[@saviorcinco]

The production job on this album is my favourite, marvelously deep, yet crisp. What a gift to have Sinead appear.

[@christophesonet2203]

Quite agree with you. Shall never forget the firsttime i listened, in a bar at Rennes, with students. Waahoo!!!!!!!! Drums before. A master piece in History of Rock.

[@petersewcyk]

Johnny Marr on guitar!!!!

[@blondiedare5400]

Dearest precious Sinead...may you find the peace and love that eluded you in life now that you're reunited safely in the arms of your beloved Shane...we loved and admired your fierceness and talent...may God heal your broken heart and soul...be at peace now precious one...namaste. ❤‍🔥👼🙏

[@emmaduncan2991]

everything about this song is pretty much perfect, the lyrics, vocals, Marr's guitar. painfully perfect.

[@glxtched22]

I'd say it's all perfect!

[@debcohen7256]

So beautiful...and one of the best collaborations ever!!

[@margaretmartell5704]

Deb Cohen Yes!!

[@davidgardner1589]

What a beautiful song. Sinead O'Connor had such a beautiful voice.

[@noahgoyette467]

1000 people, thats it? 27 years after someone put this on a mix tape for me, still blowing my mind.

[@glxtched22]

Every single time. Most beautiful heartbreaking song ever. Johny Marr is Da Best ever!!

[@davidbarr7581]

Two of my favorites: Sinead O'Connor and Matt Johnson; neither of whom have gotten the attention they deserve.

[@shaunescott2050]

To be fair I doubt they both wanted it

[@synapticflow]

One of the best duets ever and maybe the best in the alternative genre.

[@nathanparham5825]

I completely agree I don't remember any other duet during the eighties or nineties that were this good

[@neboderkica]

Sinead had few great duets - shane, asian dub foundation..

[@bartseller8601]

There is just something extremely seductive about this. And the way it flows simply marvelous!!!!¡

[@SuzeeBeeCA]

When this song came out I was a senior in college and had a radio show. I had just come back from a year in Munich so had been steeped in underground and alternative music. I went bananas when I heard this song. I think I have it on cassette somewhere as part of my radio show because I couldn’t stop playing it.. Today it’s 2020 and someone on KCRW played this while I was stuck in line at In-N-Out Burger. I went bananas AGAIN. 😆 It’s still so, so good and heart wrenching.

[@basehead617]

full circle!

[@des9655]

As a music appreciater.. I could listen to 100,000 songs, bands.. if was in a competition.. I could go on forever.. 60s through 2020s...

[@NewLeafSoap]

I was living in Germany (Hamburg) when I first heard this album -- 1989/90. This album *IS* my time in Hamburg.

[@steelpeart]

Back then Alternative was way left on the radio dial - I had a good friend from Chicago that was plugged into all of these groups, so he saw to it that I heard this group as well. Got to see this tour near Baltimore.

[@JX1900XJ]

Her best duet by a country mile & Marr's guitar...WOW!

[@maryowen5427]

I love this album, played it non stop for a year borrowing it from the library. I was in love and every song spoke to me. Now it is a poignant beautiful reminder.

[@kevincassidy2008]

Still love this track. As others have said already, never had the recognition they deserve. I remember being absolutely blown away the first time I heard the extended version of Sweet Bird of Truth....heard it at my uncle's place and was hooked on The The since.

[@glxtched22]

Yeah Johny Marr gets no recognition I America if you didn't grow up in that time period or even if they did they have no clue who you are talking about. Peace

[@normrosen9404]

Some Not as much as he deserves

[@danielaforastieri1369]

Sinead ha mille collaborazioni e ogni nuovo brano e' un regalo della sua voce fantastica, cantava qualsiasi brano di qualsiasi genere in modo sbalorditivo, un genio assoluto. Sinead amore a te, sei nel cuore, la tua musica rimarra' per sempre ❤

[@stephanestermann7451]

Je suis bien d'accord elle sublimait tout, elle manque terriblement, je l'aime ❤

[@CarloWolf-ij3zv]

❤

[@leemarvinhitchmanciaratell3450]

This song I was tripping off LSD listening to in 1989, never knowing for one moment it was Sinead 😃 God Bless

[@patrickmccormack4353]

Stunning

[@nathanparham5825]

Sinead's voice is a iconic beautiful and she sings it with so much feeling. Her high notes are beautiful and perfect both of them compliment each other vocally this is a song that can you can never hear too much of

[@a.w.5042]

I love this song so much. Isn`t it wonderful what music move`s in heart and soul?

[@theresewalters1696]

Every time I think I have heard it all, along comes another great song with Sinead!

[@davidellis5141]

RIP Sinead O'Connor 2023

[@ericbrork]

My girlfriend plays this everytime it rains. I'd never heard it before but she's a big The The fan. Damn, I love it now!

[@rickwhear4016]

You should love her even more now...shes a keeper

[@chrisrandall2710]

Eric Rork I love your gf haha

[@FisherPriceMyFirstCh]

Thanks for this video. This has been one of my favorite songs since it first came out. It is impressive and in some ways sad how relevant Matt Johnson's work is today. I say sad because the dark songs he wrote still reflect the darker side of society today as they did more than 20 years ago. I am still hopeful, though.

[@stucky101]

Both Sinead and Matt were ahead of their time. Thx for this. I have the record somewhere but hadn't listened to it in ages. These two should have done a record together, or at least Sinead should have joined The The for one record. But hey - we get this one treasure and that is worth it.

[@johnnystrachan9454]

1 of my best albums ever fucking awsome

[@berlinsaintclair9100]

EVERY time it rains here in Austin, Texas.... The past few days. Playing to myself... Just like it did in L.A. on KROQ FM My hometown...

[@timothysullivan6783]

Richard Blade, Jed the Fish, and Rodney on the Rock. Loved them.

[@thomasking2021]

In 1989 I was Command Duty Officer on my ship in San Diego late one night listening to 91X. Heard this song, loved it and never heard it again until 2013. Shazamed it, bought it, and listen to it alot.

[@margaretmartell5704]

Wow, I’m wiped out! Absolutely incredible tune🥰

[@theadmiraleq1]

What a great collaboration. Sinead gives me goose bumps!

[@birminghamreefer2733]

THE THE is my #1 fav band

[@sharkeymalone3929]

Seeing The The in LA in Sept!!! Can't wait!! The only thing that would make me more excited is if Johnny was touring with him

[@gregm4474]

Lovely mix of photos…best The The song on the album

[@wriggler23]

This hurts tonight. RIP beautiful soul

[@johnnyray6596]

"Our bed is empty, the fire is out and all the love we got to give has all spurted out" Matt Johnson is the poet laureate of lust and loneliness. "Dogs of Lust" etc

[@margaretmartell5704]

I have to listen to this again and again and again ."....."

[@emmaduncan2991]

An incredible autopsy of a failed relationship , just brutal.

[@Noahsmamadukes]

It truly is

[@margaretmartell5704]

Yes

[@nathanparham5825]

So very true about the song it depicts of how our relationship dies

[@wavelengthrecords-1]

A confessional.

[@nopainlorraine1128]

Thank you. Thank you for this.

[@Jellyroll66]

Rest easy, amazing woman

[@kennethrobinson6828]

...some of Sinead's best work...

[@mostlypeacefulgaydy6396]

One of thee most obscure new wave song's ever. If you know it... you're special.

[@cherylbesegai765]

So fucking beautiful.. this will always be my favorite 💔

[@anthonydelossantos9270]

Such a beautiful song about love gone tragically wrong..

[@yasmintech]

what a classic combination !!! best song please do it again...

[@room2roam1]

An official video for "Kingdom of Rain" was released in 1989. Does anyone know why KZbin refuses to allow it to remain posted? It is a magnificent piece of work and such a shame that his/her record company has a problem with it!!!

[@dtzjones7632]

So annoying when they do that😡

[@tonicyan]

Try searching The The "Kingdom of Rain"

[@elleoelle3892]

I can't believe it's over, before it ever really began. I said goodbye to the beautiful eyed boi today, my heart is shattered.

[@gregcurran447]

Poignant Song. Sinead's great in all of her accompaniments; Wobble, MacGowan, Gabriel...

[@darrenwalshe8513]

[@vmax42dave]

Today is 18 Sept 2018, celebrating 12 years with my Philippino wife and 8 year old daughter - Looking at this pic reminds me how low i was in 2006. My marrage had just gone "Tits-up" i would listen to this track on a loop in my Pajero and seriously considered doing the hose-pipe trick...funny world, as one one door closes another opens. (Just looking at the credits on the You Tube Vid - Johnny Marr is listed, my brothers

[@thomaskurnas6582]

Powerful song. Totally owned me for a long time.

[@MandyP101]

Beautifully put together. Thank you.

[@mechinlolassoundtrack9948]

....You were the boy who turned into the man, broke my heart and let go of my hand.....

[@monchichi7174]

First i got to know about sinead.... everysince i loved her way of being herself♥

[@bacchuslax7967]

Matt Johnson and Siena’s on vocals. But let’s not forget Johnny Marr on lead guitar.

[@jeanhopkins2845]

RIP Sinead O'Connor.

[@cristinaalvarez6822]

A beautiful passionate song..so real and raw.

[@nathanparham5825]

A very beautiful song

[@margaretmartell5704]

Best song ever.

[@catherinehart5949]

Turn off the light...take a deep breath...turn on THE THE

[@mozbilly1]

Gonna see them twice in Los Angeles 2018!

[@jazzyjsf]

So jealous!!

[@wholeshebang1]

I saw them in Toronto in September. Superb show! I danced, sang along, smiled and wept.

[@elicastelli9728]

Great video = some excellent live photos

[@yojijukugo548]

One of my favourite videos on KZbin 😻

[@wennepenneke1692]

MASTERPIECE

[@jerbarrett8284]

great vid, this tune reminds me of a long lost holiday in Queensland, Oz, back in 93!

[@leslieburrows32]

Rip sinead 😢

From The Smiths to The The, Johnny is brilliant.

[@wthornton7346]

RIP Sinead.

[@marianoalvarez9534]

LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!!

[@brasjazzchannel]

Talvez, essa fica como uma das melhoras músicas dos The The, mas com certeza fica a minha predileta desde a sua saída. Obrigado para me lembrar duma época tão musicalmente legal, e valeu, quanto as suas palavras na info. Mereceria ser compartilhado até o infinito, lindo post. Abraço.

[@EduardoFrancoOcnarfeara]

Super obrigado por seu comentário. Grande abraço

[@yt423]

Ta.

[@bartseller8601]

There is just something simply seductive about this and the way it just flows marvelous!!!!!!!!!

[@steelpeart]

I got to see the tour that followed this album release in the DC area - Marr was on tour and unreal as usual. One of the guitarists from my group at the time went nuts because Marr actually featured a solo, which is something "he just doesn't do" according to my guitar playing buddy. Sinead wasn't there for these vocals but the live show was still a Mind Bomb.

[@MsMinerva17]

Extraño dúo ..preciosa canción ❤

[@scotteckert3110]

absolutely fucking love this one...

[@lynnmarieadams1678]

Haunting

[@ttshinykit]

Great job, had forgotten about the the, I was so into them in the 80's and have just come across this researching johnny marr's jaguar guitar, just brilliant ,thanks

[@JX1900XJ]

great video & beautiful pics of Sinead. This song is a Masterpiece, not because I say it is but because IT IS!

[@flynntaylor5459]

Where the live version. Wow so so long ago my gf introduced me to this collaboration... just amazing😊😉💟

[@Deana1J]

A real treasure!

[@richiemoggz7985]

Perfect

[@ErickSafeShopper]

What a song eh? Heavenly!

[@scottjacobs6398]

Sinead belts it out of the park here!

[@ianboulton1978]

great artist, great song & great album. Hope they release a The The box set. Songs haven't dated. What is Matt up to nowadays?

[@reboog420]

nice.

[@ConnecterCa]

Une très belle pièce, ça faisait un bon bout et je suis content de la ré-entendre! :)

[@charlottekff8529]

This is a fantastic song...very smooth and mello...like liquid gold! LOVE IT!!

[@m00nsplitter72]

The greatest loss of my life (beyond the loss of my parents) is the loss of my naïveté. I have spent so many hours listening to albums such as 'Mind Bomb' (or others ) imagining that I was listening to some revelation, only much, much later to discover that so many of my gurus were self-involved and immature morons. I have 'Mind Bomb' on heavy vinyl, but still must cringe over the fact that the sonic brilliance is unsupported by any real intellectual substance. I will never again be able to enjoy such excesses. Shame on me, and shame on the guitar genius of Johnny Marr.

[@violetbrown2372]

This song leaves bruises.

[@martinvegas1327]

We want Infected on Prime video!

[@wavelengthrecords-1]

The song is beautiful until it happens to you, then it's just a tidal wave of despair.

[@margaretmartell5704]

The best
