The 1975 - I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It (Feb 26, 2016) Album • Page 14

For me, the mix of form and function on "If I Believe You" is what makes it their best composition. The way the lyrics interplay with the choir sampling, the rise and fall of the instrumentation, that extended brass solo.... chills every time.

I also like how it feels like a statement when it opens up that 6-12 stretch after the relative throwback of "She's American". It's their longest track to date, and it begins their most experimental stretch, with the title track stretching just a liiiiiittle longer to close up that movement.

 

Just know picked up the cassette at urban outfitters...just b/c

 

That choir drop after "I had a revelation"...

 

Live as well it's accompanied by this flash of huge strobe lighting, increases the impact further.

 

"Somebody Else" is my absolute favorite song on this album. I know what everyone is thinking "of course Julie likes the emo-ish song" but can you blame me? As I said before on AP, This song gives me the same feelings that I got the very first time I heard "Hysteria". Sounds crazy, but both are just romantically soul crushing in a wonderful way. I could talk about this all day long.

 

Yes!

I love this album so much and haven't gotten sick of it yet. I still play it all the time.

PS: Welcome to the forums!

 

few bands ever write something as good as "somebody else" in their career

Happy to be here! I am loving this site!

 

Yeah, I wish I waited to hear Somebody Else until the album came out. I just got too excited, haha. Such a great song.

Nana is also top-notch to me. Not to be too personal or whatever, but it's the first song I've heard that I find relatable to my father's passing. Just the general ideas of the song are what I would write about if I was in a band. It's perfect.

Sorry for the rambling..

 

Somebody Else is a truly amazing song.

Songs I'm really into right now are If I Believe You ("If I'm lost then how can I find myself" is knocking me on my ass right now), Paris, and Nana.

This album feels like one big confessional and it's really heartbreaking at times to listen to. You can feel the passion and the pain in this album, it's striking.

 

Someone needs to email me right away when US tour dates go up. If I miss them here in Boston, I am going to be so sad. This is just as important as a FOB show, so I'm not effing around kids.

 

Are you going to the Lowell show? I'm so torn about it. It's so far from work. And no one else I know wants to go haha

 

Is this for their spring tour? If so, tickets have been on sale already, unless I missed something.

 

When I checked this weekend there were only Europe tour dates. Maybe that changed.

 

And looks like Boston got May 18th. I'll be buying tickets this week.

 

Definitely trying to make the trip out to Jersey for Jack Antonoff's Shadow of the City festival. The 1975 and Carly Rae Jepsen are the headliners.

 

So my friend and I are going to see them in Lowell, MA! I'm so fucking excited!! Watch out Matty Healy, Julie is comin' to get ya!

 

Lol I do jazz hands every time.

 

Nah, man. One hand up like :preach: and eyes closed with a stank face/yes, lord face.

 

Haha quick story: I almost drove off the road a couple weeks ago because I was snapchatting a video to my girl of me lip-syncing this part of the song. One hand on was on the phone and pressing the ceiling light to catch the "AHHHH". The other was jazz hands-ing. Needless to say, neither was on the wheel.

Would've been kind of ironic to pass away to that song.

 

Hums: "To die by your song is such a heavenly way to die"

 

Haha that would be such an emo QOTD.

 

I just watched the "Robbers" video. wow. blown away.

 

and then there was this. God love this man.
