Matty - He just loves his fans.



***

// Music is for people who can't handle their own thoughts //

Most of the artists out there doesn't really care about the intimate moment shared between them and their fans during concerts. This is one of the most raw moments I have ever witnessed from an artist's where he just want to see his fans eyes not their cell phones. Of course they were allowed to record a few videos here and there but he just want them to have a few moments where they came there to see him and the whole band. Face to face. Not from the screen itself.
They bought the tickets, so they have to enjoy every tiny bit of it. Just like the old days where cell phones were not lit up in the air but candles of posters instead. It really touched me how this person knows how to make the fans feel so special. It brings us back to reality. Memories that we captured with our eyes and minds are much more valuable than the ones we captured by our phones and so on.

A story from the song, 'Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You' :


     There was a phone call interview done by a blog owner of the AMBY blog when The 1975 were in Tokyo. They have been keeping up with the band's update since their first album release until now.
     One of the question was, "Some of the songs have some unbelievable lyrics! So I just wanted to ask you, which The 1975 lyric is your favourite?" And Matty answered, "Oh that’s hard. I’d really hate to say. I mean, it spans so much because it really is an extension of my identity. I suppose there’s certain songs that connect with me more than others. On the album, for example, the last song Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You, that’s probably one of the more saddening songs for me that I’ve ever written because it’s about me leaving my family essentially—me leaving home—and making sure that there was somebody there to watch my little brother. It’s songs like that, and songs like Me that put things into perspective. I suppose every other day I’d probably have a different lyric depending on what mood I’m in. And you can probably see that by our music because it goes from really upbeat guitar-pop to somber and almost R&B. Do you know what I mean?"

Meanings behind the 'Chocolate' song :


*since the original video is forbidden from being downloaded, so here is one of their concert's video*

     Peaking at #19 on the UK Singles Chart and becoming certified Gold in the United States, “Chocolate” is arguably The 1975's most well-known song. The song’s popularity gave the band their first radio play. “Chocolate” was released as a single from their self-titled debut album, but it was originally recorded and released on their Music For Cars EP.
The song takes listeners into the boys' rebellious lives, with chocolate being utilized as a euphemism for marijuana. Front man Matty Healy spoke with Songs For Whoever on the story behind the song:

"Chocolate tells the story of our relationships with the governing authorities of our small town. Smoking weed, smoking anything I suppose, boredom and what ensues when both parties challenge one another. It’s a love letter to boredom, limited opportunities of expressing yourself and embracing and understanding the makeup of where you’re from. Musically and structurally it is the blueprint of our output, but I’d need an entire book to discuss that in detail."

The stories that lies beneath the Robbers song :



They developed an artful sophistication and electronic adventurism to their punk rumbles, it was an itriguing track called 'Robbers' that earned them a manager in 2009. Based around a violent, cinematic tale of lust on the Iam. "I got really obsessed with the idea behind Patricia Arquette's character in True Romance when I was about eighteen." Matty recalls "That craving for the bad boy in that film is so sexualized, and the gore with the sexual lust really merges together. It was something I was obsessed with."

***

Much more detailed explanation :

     This is a love song about a toxic relationship. They are too focused on each other to notice the destruction they cause each other.
The title “Robbers” refers to how the lovers are robbing each other of happiness and chances in this world apart from one another. They can’t move on and grow in love because they are so caught up in their toxic relationship.
The 1975 frontman, Matty Healy said the following about the song:
“ ‘Robbers’ was originally inspired by my love of the Quentin Tarantino film True Romance, the story of an Elvis-obsessed loner who falls in love and marries a prostitute. In the movie the couple run away to California after killing her pimp and stealing his drugs to start a new life financed by a once in a lifetime drug deal. It’s the sentiment behind the film that appeals to me, the hopelessly romantic notion that two people can meet and instantly fall in love, an escape story where love is the highest law and conquers all against the odds. Characters like Bonnie and Clyde always appealed to me as a teenager – couples so intoxicated with one another that they fear nothing in the pursuit of the realization of each other, actions fueled by blind unconditional love. ‘Robbers’ is an ode to those relationships. The type of relationship all humans long for. All or nothing. This video is about when love makes two people feel they are the center of the universe.”

What The 1975 is all about

     The band itself is mostly inspired by the 80's music as it has been said by the band members itself than during that era, most of the good songs were being produced. The 1975 doesn't really care about being popular and such. All they care about is so that their music can be connected to the listeners out there. As it was said by one of the band members, Matt Healy "We're not making a record to support a couple of singles," Matty says of the finished record. "On your debut album, whether you're hyped or not, you've got shitloads to prove to yourself." And his hopes for The 1975 is that, "People need to get on board with what we're doing and see that we're for this generation. I want our music to be a part of people's lives, properly."



How did the band get their name, "The 1975" ?


It all started when Matty, the lead singer of the band found out at the back of a beat-era book given to him by a "gregarious artist" the date 1st June The 1975. He met him at a yard sale in northern Majorca at the age of 19. Matty said, "He showed me a round his house, it was like a sixties bizarre haberdashery. He had photos of him with Hendrix, I thought thus guy was fucking crazy! He gave me loads of beat generation literature, Kerouac and stuff. When I went home I read them and in the back of one of them there was all these mental scribbling, it was almost suicidal, and it was dated at the bottom '1st June, The 1975'. I was quite freaked out when I read it, the use of the word 'The' really stuck with me. It was the perfect band name."
