The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 146

That’s awesome

 

Yikes. They’re having to open for MGK.

 

still one of us! still one of us!

 

dashboard confessional rocks my socks

 

so im going to see the 1975 in kansas city later this week, the first time i saw them was in 2015 also in KC a couple months after i had started using heroin. i havent seen them since 2019 when i was living in philly, which was during my last long stretch of clean time. it feels symbolic that im seeing them again now that im on another stretch of very solid clean time after all that's happened since that first time and how much their music has pushed me to where i am today. a good number of songs would absolutely make me break down and i dont really know the setlist this tour aside from a couple things ive seen so im ready to be broken down so badly (in the worst way)

 

Menthols >

 

i only smoke in rehab and everyone in rehab always has menthols lol

 

Menthols suck so bad. Could never smoke them.

 

Matty playing with Dashboard is absolutely mind blowing

 

The best are actually camel crush so we get both a regular and then half way through crush it for that smooth menthol.

 

this is too true lol

 

when i briefly tried to smoke cigs to be cool when i was 18 i smoked crushes lol

 

The fork put PotB high on their best song list but I easily would take Wintering or About You over it. All great chunes tho

 

I like "Part Of The Band" so much better in the context of the album than I did when I first heard it on its own. I like it a ton either way, but it might be the song I want to hear least separate from everything else (I guess I'd still choose to listen to it over "Looking For Somebody (To Love)" or "Human Too," if I had to choose, but those make a little more sense to me on their own in isolation).

"About You" is still my favorite of the bunch.

 

Part of the band is their best song

 

First four songs on this album is a legit contender for the best four-song run in their discography.

 

smh ending it at 4 when Oh Caroline is right there!!!

 

Hot take: This band has several songs that are quite good!

 

As frontman Matty Healy sings of exactly how long it’s been since he last used heroin, down to the minute, toward the end of the track, the production swells to a crescendo, pushing him further ahead. –Matthew Strauss






see even they realize the absolute beauty of this song. a line hasnt impacted me to my fucking core like that one since the final verse of paris. and its fitting because the juxtaposition of where he was at when he wrote paris vs where he was when he wrote part of the band is an astounding accomplishment. its inspiring as fuck for me.

 

hey now let’s not get crazy

 

only several? try all of them

 

im starting to get that funny feeling in my tummy knowing im seeing them in just a few short days and how unprepared i am for the emotional response im going to have but knowing full well i absolutely need this right now

 

Spliffs with menthols >>>>
