The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 90

I’m liking this overall, but it feels pretty front heavy to me because tbh I’m finding All I Need to Hear through Human Too kind of a slog

 

SHOW ME YOUR LOVE, why don’t you?

 

Happiness maybe isn’t getting so much talk because it was a single but it is a classic, all time 1975 song. An utter, utter bop.

 

Yeah Happiness is a top 3 song of the year for me. Maybe #1

 

Don’t know if they’ve talked about it, but is ‘Looking For Somebody’ about that incel mass shooter? It’s really creeping me out/is currently my most listened to song from this album so far.

 

Someone said the Spotify storyline confirmed yes

 

only 5 tracks in need to catch up on the thread but holy fucking shit ahahahahaah

 

In the context of the album I like happiness that much more.

 

“oh caroline is fucking insane”

always wanted them to do this kind of peter gabriel type huge 80s tune

god they’re so good

 

Is the lyric in the closer "You ask about the cows wearing my sweater," or am I mishearing? Is the song about these cows?

 

So glad I am just finding out about Happiness.

 

Derogatory term for women here in the UK, sadly.

 

“wintering” oh my GOD

i never expected them to do a song like this holyshit i’m in love

 

lmao i believe there would just be a comma there. “you ask about the cows, wearing my sweater,” like, she’s wearing his sweater when she asks about them.

 

Are you sure it’s not “you ask about the cows. Wearing my sweater”. As in she is wearing his sweater and also asking about cows? Dangling participle

 

Unlikely. Reads to me that the person he’s talking about is jealous of other women wearing the band’s merch.

 

I like my interpretation better.

Lol, this would be a very weird bit of writing. But so would a song about cows in sweaters.

 

nah, i think that the next line proves what i said to be true. because cows tend to lie down when they know it’s going to start raining.

so it’s like, they were driving around, and she asks why all those cows were lying down and he explains it’s because of the weather.

 

oh my god “about you”

i had lofty expectations for this song after hearing that it was them doing a “with or without you” type track but goddamn it delivered

 

closer bringing back the “all my friends” piano from the opener >>>>

 

I hope that’s it cause that’s quite wholesome. My first impression was that it sounded like another lyric about cheating haha

 

It’s a battle between Boner, Burst, and Sea World For Trees for most unhinged lyrics

 

I would be utterly uninterested in a 1975 album without at least 2 such lyrics. It’d be like Christmas dinner without desserts.
