Uncertain Smile' by The The is a song that captivates by its sheer coolness. Released first in 1982 as a single, and then re-recorded in 1983 for the album Soul Mining, this track gets you from the very first note.
Its distinctive keyboard riff creates a sense of intrigue and anticipation, like a Raymond Chandler novel that's gone even more ironic. Matt Johnson's vocals, distinct and almost served up on a plate, add a layer of sincerity that draws you into the narrative of uncertainty and yearning.
The lyrics — 'I'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 — are matter-of-fact surreal, capturing the essence of fleeting moments and human interaction with humans.
The intricate blend of keyboards, sax and a memorable guitar solo is almost classical. The saxophone solo, in particular, adds a jazzy elegance that elevates the song from standard 80s pop song to songbook wonder.
