The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 466

Omg I want the hat

 

I’ve spent toooo much money on this album already though

Somebody gift it to me thanks

 

I’m gonna have to read your posts in a British accent from now on haha

 

Haaaa I reign it in online for the most part!

 

I read a load of instagram comments saying the necklaces changed colour after a while too ha. Like they’d gone green? Oh yeah, the band deserves it. Just I get wound up missing out on things because I preorder instantly and wish I’d held back when other options pop up! Always worried things are gonna sell out haha. I suck!

 

Changing from gold to copper will do that.

 

If Rome is as big of a muse as I think he is, there is probably going to be a Filipino-titled track on Notes. my SO and I are placing bets.

she thinks it's going to be "Kilig" which means (via wikipedia), feeling of excitement due to various romantic situations such as making first eye contact with one's crush or watching another person propose to someone.

it's when you feel all fuzzy and red inside after seeing something romantic or attractive. still thinking on what word I'll bet on.

also I'm super into that sincerity hat. heavily considering getting one.

 

Reckon they’ll make a screaming on those. I’d get on it fast if you want it haha. And yeah that’s such a Matty term. I think you’re spot on with that

 

you opiate this hazy head of mine

 

Something I found amusing just listening to "The Man Who Married a Robot/Love Theme" just now is the line "Man does not live by bread alone". The line seems likely a biblical reference, but also my internet-ruined mind always just thinks of it being a reference to "Let's get this bread!" that's been meme'd like crazy. And on some level, that dumb realization enhances the whole "Internet mediates all of our realtionships, etc" themes of the album for me.

 

I really respect his transparency. I tried writing songs about my troubles with addiction and it just made me feel worse and couldn’t complete the songs

 

I just did a little gush on Twitter about how Matty's really becoming my fucking idol right now. I needed that transparency in my life.

So I'm feeling this right now really bad. I've got some really bleak introspective shit I've wrote both on and off certain substances and just trying to finish it up to get it released is just breaking me.

 

addiction is so tough. ive struggled with it for so long and I always will. It’s taken me so far down to places I never knew existed. It has changed me for the worse. It has caused me so much pain and trauma. Having music to turn to that makes me feel like I’m not alone makes all the difference

 

I'm in the same boat. I'm just so glad I have this band now.

 

Keep fighting man. Life can get tough but we can all make something of it if we persevere :)

 

(hit post too soon)

I'm not fully clean off certain things. I still have a small addiction to one of the things but I can control it now much better than before. Hearing songs about those feelings just helps. I can't explain how, but it just does.

 

I'm glad y'all have this outlet to know that you're not alone. Stay strong friends

 

I know how it goes. Right now clean off everything but weed but only a few weeks off one thing that gives me trouble. A few months off the worst substance

 

Yeah, I've taken back to weed to stop me from wanting to be back on certain powders. I'll admit that when I'm on a weekend out (rare now) I'll partake but it's been a solid three months since I've been... let's say medicating daily.

Basically that thing Matty said about his deep, carnal desire to be sedated? That.

 

Good shit dude three months is solid. I just hit a year. Life is so much fucking better.

I agree with what was said above. Hearing songs about someone else having experienced the particular struggle just helps somehow.

 

These last few days, my wife and I will just randomly sing “what about!” and then the other will finish with “theeeeese feelings I’ve got!”. About 10-20 times a day without a doubt

 

4 months and one week off heroin for me

 

Congrats! Truly a bitch to kick.

Do we have a dedicated thread for this topic? It always helps to have an outlet if you’re struggling.
