You Should Be Loving Someone @tje1975 - Tumblr Blog

hey guys what’s this all about

there's something about the version of loving someone they did with the philharmonic orchestra that makes me so emotional. like they took this song that celebrates queer pride and self acceptance, which was already an anthem of its own, and gave it to an orchestra of hundreds of people to transform it into this thing that is so powerful and joyful and completely all-encompassing that you are just kinda consumed by it for a few minutes. and it makes you believe in it too like yeah you should be loving someone and you should be loving yourself how can you not after hearing that??

the live at the o2 version too. like i don't know how to explain what it meant for me as a closeted teenager who hated themself and was completely alone in pretty much every aspect of their life to have their favourite band release this song. and for them to then play it live in front of thousands of people just like you who are all screaming along to every lyric while there's a massive pride flag in bright lights behind them. idk it just made me feel less alone and like it was gonna be okay

"Bonfire Night, 2007, I was 18, and I'd just written Robbers,” Matty Healy recalls. “We’d been playing it for hours, and when I left the bedroom, my father was calling, 'MATTY!’ in a stern voice. And I'm thinking, when he talks like that, that is not a good sound. I'm in trouble. And he goes, "That song - that song is going to be a hit.' I was like, ‘Cheers’ all awkward, and he's like, 'No, no. Listen to me. That song is going to be the most important song you've ever written’ And he was right. He was right.". — Matty Healy for The Times Magazine

ABOUT BFIAFL (to spare you the time to look for people saying the same thing over and over again)

Matty Healy taps Jack Antonoff to help produce a concise, meaningful, pop-focused album about love. It’s cliché, it’s obvious, it’s slyly profound—it’s the 1975. (Pitchfork)

The band have given up irony and bombast in favour of heartfelt snapshots of millennial life – though, as ever, frontman Matty Healy can’t quite resist going too far. (the Guardian, 4/5 stars)

Finally, an album that leaves us wanting more. This new record is half the size of its messy 2020 predecessor, and all the better for it. (Evening Standard)

There’s also a feeling that the band have less to prove this time around, and this combination of nonchalance and unapologetic earnestness shapes a considerable chunk of the album. As such, Being Funny… offers the closest thing you’ll find to a definitive snapshot of The 1975: multifaceted, self-analytical, occasionally hyperactive, but through it all, disarmingly sincere. (Hot Press, 7/10)

The 1975 ‘Being Funny in a Foreign Language’ review: a true return to form. Generational rallying cries are replaced by dick jokes and tender romance on the band’s most straight-forward album yet.[...] They make the funkiest, catchiest pop songs they could write, set over Healy’s increasingly natural and comfortable lyricism. (Rolling Stone UK, 4/5 stars)

Combining the band’s slightly sidelined knack for writing huge, immediately memorable pop bangers with the more complex, neurotic lyrical voice of The 1975’s more recent releases, ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’ feels like the right next step after pushing experimental excess to its logical conclusion, and is comparatively lean with just eleven tracks to its name. The 1975: At Their Very Best – the lofty, and slightly tongue-in-cheek title they’ve given to their upcoming tour – might be infuriatingly, brilliantly cocky, but let’s face facts: it’s also pretty accurate. (NME, 4/5 stars)

#very natural progression from the last album #i enjoyed it overall
