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
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.
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.
“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?
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
I hope that’s it cause that’s quite wholesome. My first impression was that it sounded like another lyric about cheating haha
I would be utterly uninterested in a 1975 album without at least 2 such lyrics. It’d be like Christmas dinner without desserts.
