The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 47

Does anyone know what is said before Greta starts talking? “I think of a house”?

Also, I Always Wanna Die into the new intro is perfect

 

cool intro

 

"it is now time for civil disobedience, it is time to rebel"

The most punk rock statement I've ever heard ... Gives me goosebumps

 

The album opening with the monologue is going to get real old on vinyl. Not that I disagree with the message. Guess I'll be moving the needle past it.

 

Yeah I’m gonna have to skip it on side 5A

 

Before I realized who was speaking the message, I thought the speaker was Norwegian, as their sounds/dialects are pretty similar, but then once I saw it was Greta it then made sense

What a fantastic opener

 

I really hope People has a sweet guitar intro cos this new track into Love Me/GYAT is fucking rad.

 

We are right now in the beginning of a climate and ecological crisis.

And we need to call it what it is. An emergency.

We must acknowledge that we do not have the situation under control and that we don’t have all the solutions yet. Unless those solutions mean that we simply stop doing certain things.

We admit that we are losing this battle.

We have to acknowledge that the older generations have failed. All political movements in their present form have failed.

But homo sapiens have not yet failed.

Yes, we are failing, but there is still time to turn everything around. We can still fix this. We still have everything in our own hands.

But unless we recognise the overall failures of our current systems, we most probably don’t stand a chance.

We are facing a disaster of unspoken sufferings for enormous amounts of people. And now is not the time for speaking politely or focusing on what we can or cannot say. Now is the time to speak clearly.

Solving the climate crisis is the greatest and most complex challenge that homo sapiens have ever faced. The main solution, however, is so simple that even a small child can understand it. We have to stop our emissions of greenhouse gases.

And either we do that, or we don’t.

You say that nothing in life is black or white.

But that is a lie. A very dangerous lie.

Either we prevent a 1.5 degree of warming, or we don’t.

Either we avoid setting off that irreversible chain reaction beyond human control, or we don’t.

Either we choose to go on as a civilisation or we don’t.

That is as black or white as it gets.

Because there are no grey areas when it comes to survival.

Now we all have a choice.

We can create transformational action that will safeguard the living conditions for future generations.

Or we can continue with our business as usual and fail.

That is up to you and me.

And yes, we need a system change rather than individual change. But you cannot have one without the other.

If you look through history, all the big changes in society have been started by people at the grassroots level. People like you and me.

So, I ask you to please wake up and make the changes required possible. To do your best is no longer good enough. We must all do the seemingly impossible.

Today, we use about 100 million barrels of oil every single day. There are no politics to change that. There are no rules to keep that oil in the ground.

So, we can no longer save the world by playing by the rules. Because the rules have to be changed.

Everything needs to change. And it has to start today.

So, everyone out there, it is now time for civil disobedience. It is time to rebel.

 

No effing joke, I just got chills throughout my whole body listening to this song again, truly taking in her words and what it all means

 

I don’t know man...it still seems pretty...well no fucking duh to me. It doesn’t take away the sentiment but...yeah.

 

We're all going to die unless The 1975 become the biggest band in the world aren't we..

 

Lol...they just aren’t though, sadly.

 

God, this new track is sick. I like their decision to release the intro as the first track from Notes because it places emphasis on the continuity across this whole era. Like, the last thing we heard from them was I Always Wanna Die, and this new intro comes immediately after it.

Gonna miss the "go down, soft sound" thing but I do think it'd eventually get redundant.

 

I need it

 

I think Refused and The 1975 would be a better fit if you’re going that route

 

Im so excited for the future of this band.

 

*something something counterparts something touring in circles*

 

The “Nothing Left To Love It If We Made It“ Tour

 

They’re the band replacing Lil Wayne

 

I really hope someone in the Tour thread made a joke about Lil Wayne being the pop-punk band that's breaking up

 

Wow, just listened to the intro track. That was powerful. I was not ready for that, definitely got teary-eyed by the end.

Very direct, to the point....a straight-up, emotional, PSA/rally-call for change.

This has me even *more* insanely intrigued by what this album is going to sound like, and where it's going to go. And with it being announced there's 22 tracks on it?! Oh my. Early next year is going to be so good.

February's such a long wait though, didn't expect that.

I dont bother posting on social media (facebook,twitter,etc) very much, but this is making me want to post this video/song in all my feeds lol. Just because of how well it gets the message across and how beautiful it is.

 

That was fine? I guess.

 

It's good for what it is, but it's like the siri story track on ABIIOR; one I will not be listening to each and every time I press play on this album. Better than the other 3 intros though, which I listen to once then never again lol.

 

I'll take that. That track was really impactful too, imo. That was a standout track to me on that album (though all of that album is great). I like the experimental, poignant, stuff they do.

 

I just played the new track and pressed shuffle. In the end it led into heart out and was so fucking good.
