- I regret overlooking this band now. The 1975 have released a new song called “Part of the Band” and to my surprise it has blown me away. I was no expecting that nor was expecting to almost cry! What do you think? Are you a fan of them already? Do you like this song?

the beauty of the 1975 is that with how big their discography is there’s something for everyone
The 1975 are brilliant and so damn great live
Honestly I think The 1975 is one of the best bands of the last decade. They've got some great pop songs, but also loads of more experimental stuff too, and they're fantastic live. A lot of people I know have them written off as a band just for teenage girls but I think they're genuinely fantastic artists.
I agree!! Few artists are able to reinvent themselves with every album and explore multiple genres while keeping their identity and sound and I think that’s something to be admired. They’re a very exciting group of musicians. Looking forward to this next album.
Agree wholeheartedly
But what even is a band "just for teenage girls"? Any type of music is for anyone that enjoys it.
I respectfully fully disagree...but that's alright :)
@@brunett93 in the community the majority of fans are teenage girls
The main theme of The 1975 is the songwriting, they dwell in many genres but whats mesmerizing and cohesive all in all is the lyrics. Matty is gnarly!
He makes me chuckle more than any other lyricist
1000% agree they have a couple of songs that take me back to a certain time in my life I remember quite fondly.
@@1Q89MUSIC same. true british humour and sarcasm
Yea they really nailed originality. Mixture of everything.
No he's funking lame af
nothing makes me happier than watching someone who knows music seemingly well change their mind about my fav band which holds a very special place in my heart and realises how amazing they are
couldn't have said it any better, i'm in tears haha :') loved this vid
Yes! I second this.
I really hope he tries them on for size. The INXS comparisons are apt....in many ways. But so is Talking Heads. Or 10 other bands I could list. The point is....Matty IS a genius songwriter and a really interesting human. And his band is one of the best there's ever been. They have LOTS of songs and albums and eras and vibes and moods etc etc. Start somewhere....and explore. Have fun. It might take you 6 months to get to that ONE song I'm convinced will change your life....but don't worry, it's waiting. They're that kind of band.
Watching this....honestly was so fun. Just watching a very intelligent cool human who _gets_ music....realizing there's a band out there that he's totally missed the boat on. GET ON THE BOAT! We got room! :)
I'm feeling the exact same way! I hate the sterotype around the 1975 "Fan girl band" people make their assumption before they've even sat down & listened. Good musicians recognise how good they are & it's always so satisfying to hear. Especially Justin Hawkins who front's a band that i love so much too!
Dude watching Matty’s life cycle through being a young rockstar with a heroin addiction to one of the most mature and gifted lyricists of our generation if not all time is worth listening to every album of theirs 10 times through. At the end of the Birthday Party he talks about his friends (the band) being the only thing that can keep him clean, and now in Part of the Band (^), the last line and the only one the whole chorus comes in for is a proclamation of how long he has been clean for. Truly tearjerking stuff from my now and always favorite band.
Beautifully put. I concur. How and Justin articulates this and underlines how amazing they are is equally fantastic.

It's like Peter Gabriel, Simon and Garfunkel huddled into a room and storyboarded Matty Healy and The 1975. Fantastic, complex, soulful music.
The moment it clicked was phenomenal, this happens every time the 1975 release music, at first it doesn’t bother me and then I actually listen to the songs and I’m just taken back.
Honestly, Matty has something rare. The vocabulary and play on words, double entendres he always surprises me. Some songs have the best lyrics I think I’ve ever heard.
Incredible band. the drummer is one of the great rock drummers of the past twenty years. he's a beast - and writes most of the music. they have such a unique sound. And i'm a Slayer fan
Nothing wrong with a metalhead appreciating other genres of music.
The 1975 wouldn’t sound like The 1975 without George! Such an amazing producer
@@W4TSKY YESSS! This should have been in conversation.
@@diether7 Dude deserves so many flowers it’s crazy! But part of me thinks he doesn’t really care all that much. He seems like a lowkey guy that’s just happy to be able to make music and use The 1975 and Dirty Hit as his creative outlets. If they were American I don’t doubt he’d already have at least 1 grammy nomination for producer of the year though.
I compare Healy and Daniel’s (they both write the songs and produce them) with Lennon McCartney
Don't sleep on these guys. They are collective geniuses. Listen to Love it if we made it and tell me they don't Rock. Transcends Genre
Adore this band. My ex-girlfriend got me into them and was just amazed by how great their hooks were and how much starpower their frontman had. I think the Love Me video hooked me. Very tongue-in-cheek but undeniably the guy is a star. Think it’s sexist bullshit people write them off cause teenage girls like them. Who cares? Loads of the greatest bands of all time were beloved by teenage girls, why do people assume the artistic tastes of teenage girls is inherently bad? Fact of the matter is the 1975 takes more creative risks than most other artists existing in the mainstream. I wouldn’t say it always pays off, but that fearlessness is what really makes all the difference.
I think my favourite thing is that they manage to successfully delve into a wide range of genres whilst maintaining their 'own' sound (to an extent)
I think a lot of people who write them off would be pleasantly surprised by the quality of their "lesser known" (I know they're a huge band, but relatively) songs
I've thought about the point you made so many times. It really is such a shame that people do that. Also, my ex-girlfriend got me into The 1975 as well, and I regrettably wrote them off as shitty back then too. It wasn't until I truly sat and LISTENED that they instantly became one of my favorite bands.
An ex girlfriend of mine also got me into this band. I became quickly OBSESSED with them and they've been my favorite band ever since. They truly are a unique group of musicians and i can always expect a different experience with each album that comes out.
Very well said! They’re probably my favorite band
HAHA AMEN, thank you for this! And i was one of those teenage girls. 😆 I discovered them on soundcloud I think when I was around 18, when chocolate came out. Then before my mid 20s I tried to outgrow these bands that I loved as a teen (except 1D 😆). I feel bad because there was this feeling that I wrote them off coz I don't wanna be associated with those "young teen girls". But now at 28, I just love what I love! I don't care much anymore. No shame in that. ✨🙌
You and me both, Justin! I‘ve only recently discovered these guys and fallen hard. I must’ve been living under a rock for the past 10 years. 😅
‘If I Believe You’ from the second album is honestly an amazing song. Would highly recommend looking in to their other stuff!
Songs a masterpiece man
@@Dunbie_ Agree with you right there mate. And I would even say the entire album is a masterpiece. You could cherry pick songs for a good time or listen to it from start to finish for a musical experience.
@@lukebennet6989 so true:)
“I’ve got a god-shaped hole; it’s infected” gets me every time
@@maceysabedra4953 and I’m petrified of being alone, it’s pathetic I know
Matty is genius artist, great lyricist
What you've said is 100 percent on the mark. They are INCREDIBLE songwriters and musicians who've released a few pop tunes and got branded a pop act. Lift the lid a little bit and you realise how clever they are. This is also a point of contention they get written off as just a boy band pop act or an arrogant, annoying and pretentious act. Personally I think they're one of the most important acts to come out in the last 10 years. Absolute perfection on every album and if I were you I'd definitely dive into them a bit more.
👏👏
Well put
I don't think anyone could describe them any better than this... 👏👏👏
Without a doubt they are the best band to come out since 2012.
Billy Strings, Greta Van Fleet, and maybe Goose are up there in the talent level, but nobody touches the 1975. They are the best band to come out since the Black Crowes and Nirvana. So that dates back to 1990.
Absolute genius. The song, writers, performance, live shows. The 1975 are outstanding.
I've been a deeply devoted '75 fan for years - Matty's lyrics, George's arrangements, everything - and it's so lovely and magical to watch someone discover them :)
Agreed, just beautiful
I strongly believe that the 1975 are the best thing in the pop world right now, and have continued to be underrated.
It’s probably because they’re British. If they were American they’d be the biggest band in the world (commercially/popularity wise) since ILIWYS. Think Twenty One Pilots level
Your smoking crack, tame impala are better musicians in ever fucking way possible and aren't lame af.
Why does he sound so American, I wonder? Most British singers usually try to emphasise their real accents, but Matt Healey does the fake American twang of singers from the last century.
I’d say Ghost since they changed to a more pop oriented sound.
@@miaschu8175disagree
What's so incredibly fascinating about The 1975 is their super fun and pop songs, are actually some of the deepest and saddest lyrics. It's easy to miss, but you dig deep into the songs and Matt Healy is nothing but a genius.
"Okay, I think I understand what all the fuss is about. This guy is a serious songwriter."
Welcome to the club, Justin! Have been a fan of The Darkness since 2004 and a fan of The 1975 since 2013. Worlds are colliding for me with this video, haha! Definitely look more into The 1975. I think you'll find it extremely rewarding.
I listen to this album on repeat a lot! Great for walking the streets with no care in the world. 💞👏🏼
His reaction is my last 48 hours. Had no idea who they were as a band. Randomly got recommended it in my feed. Literally stopped in my tracks while listening to this while on a walk with my daughter to school. Truly an incredible song. Excited to learn more about their discography
How did i not watch this video before??? I had the same reaction with this song. Suddenly I heard the lyrics (specially the "I like my men like I like my coffee" part) and I understood that The 1975 is an amazing band with great lyrics. And, yeah, they're underrated. Healy is a genius songwriter and frontman.
I love that you love it! Matt Healy’s complex character lends itself to such beautiful and intelligently written lyrics. The 1975, in my opinion, are one of the most intelligent current bands. Educated, interesting and not afraid to make music that they actually like, these boys don’t do singles, they create stories through albums. The fact they produce everything themselves just makes it even more credible. Would be interested to get your take on their 4th album ... the hardest one to like/get into.
Justin, what are your thoughts on Conor Oberst/ Bright eyes? If you love a lyric that chews you up and spits you back out, surely you love Conor?
I think the brilliance of Notes is that any human with decent taste can make their own 12 to 17 track perfect record.
I've just become a huge fan of The 1975 - came back to see this clip to help it all make sense. Thanks JH
Justin you need to see them live!
I’m a 55 year old rock Mum and I have been to see them alongside my daughter every time they tour. From their early small gigs to the arenas.
You won’t be disappointed!
You could wear your beret too 😊
they’re absolute geniuses. matty is a brilliant lyricist/producer and george is an amazing producer/drummer. Adam, Ross, and John(sax) never let us down either. they’re so underrated and adored by many 🖤💙
i love to see people appreciate how incredibly and beautifully talented these boys are
Oh, Caroline - About You - I'm in Love with You, are my top three on the album. Beautiful record.
Consistently blown away by their music and especially so when it comes to Matty’s lyricism ❤
I LOVE that you’ve discovered The 1975. Your going to have so much fun now.
Matty Healy is an absolute stick out in the industry and always has been! This is a brilliant song.
It's one of my favorite songs of all time (especially the live performance) it just sounds so crisp
Came to the 1975 late myself (earlier this year) and I've been blown away ever since. This is a perfect breakdown of an absolutely fantastic song
So thankful you love it, Matty has been sending us on a journey for years and I’m so happy I’m not the only one who hears the genius at work. He’s a phenomenal musician and lyricist. It’s all one big picture and story. Really enjoyed this!
I love how utterly amazed you are with Matt's song writing capabilities.
Watching you so deeply appreciate one of my favorite songs makes me so happy, I may or may not be crying 😅
Smugness and sincerity is such a beautiful and simple way to describe it.
What wonderfully written art.
one of the best lyricists of our generation
Stumbled across this on my homepage. Watched the whole thing and was engaged the whole way through. Fantastic!
The thing I like about them is there’s a lot of meaning and storytelling/scene setting in their lyrics hidden beneath very simple sounding songs, I think ‘Love it if we made it’, ‘The City’, ‘Somebody Else’, ‘Tootimetootimetootime’, ‘It’s Not Living’ are perfect examples
Their songs when you just listen to them passively can sort of be taken the wrong way, like I can imagine some of their upbeat songs have probably been played at weddings and stuff with people not giving a second thought to how dark the lyrical message actually is
Agreed. ‘Change of Heart’ is captivating too; one of the few songs that gives me goosebumps every time. Cohesive storytelling with relatable nuances and semantics - they never fail to add subtle humour that are really just snapshots from our real lives.
I’ve been a 1975 fan since 2012/2013 and I have a different favorite song by them every month. They have such a diverse catalog of song types
I love that this all off the cuff and we get to see him be like “ok whoa these are great fucking lyrics I get it now”
I thought they were a teenage scream band until I saw them in TV last night. Completely blown away. From another 1975 born baby 😊
I love that you're finding out how fantastic this band is!
Justin’s articulate opinion, is so humble and true
Spoken by a true master of trade
Never gotten into the 1975 before but will definitely check them out now. What a song writers dream to write lines as lovely as that 'enough about me now, you got to talk about the people babe' that's awesome!
Just went and listened to the song in full, it's so good! 'Or am I just some post-coke, average, skinny bloke?
Calling his ego imagination'. One day I will write lines as good as that!
listen to the 1075- robbers
@@liamneilocampo7996 Robbers is great but it's plastered in nostalgia for all of us.
Definitely check out
If I believe you,
I like America and America likes me
People
And of course menswear
Traveled a bit to see their shows, had the pleasure of meeting Matty he was incredibly kind and genuine, made me love them even more
Part of the Band is my top song in this album and I’m glad that someone else appreciates the musicality and I would like to say “poetry” of this song. 🖤
Certainly my favourite band of the last ten years
Never fail
This has become an everyday channel for me..at first I really thought it’d be a lot of jaded rocker dribble but Justin legitimately takes the time to listen and give non bias thoughts and opinions on what’s in front of him. I find he is very much the opposite of a hater in most instances.
“Non bias” opinions? No such thing, mate. I hate when people misuse that word.
Have you heard "its love jim" off their new album they still rock. He does do good to be unbiased except when he shit on rhcp john frusciante he should listen to their stuff not just say its average guitar because hes not into their vibe and funk. John unrealistically more talented than Justin and his brother combined at guitar and song writing.. So hes not very unbiased
@@wellesradio Why Non bias ? Why not ?
@@mikehunt1528 if I were to speak for the most astute Mr.W, I would point out that all opinions are biased by definition. An opinion is based on how you see things. You make that decision after being influenced or biased by an uncountable number of experiences over a lifetime. A non biased opinion is a fallacy and would constitute a blank page were it rendered.
@@richardclark. Wooooosh
Frail state of mind is one of my favourite songs from this band. It's very chilled, has a British feel to it and I like the lyrical content. Somebody else will also always be a huge hit.
Frail State of Mind and I Think There’s Something You Should Know are two of my favorite The 1975 songs ever. Very underrated imo
The arrangement of FSOM getting more and more chaotic as the lyrical anxiety ramps up to a crescendo feeling like a full blown panic attack was absolutely NUTS to listen to for the first time and really have a song that sounds like how i feel in those moments
The 1975 is where pop music should head to. Great hooks, real instruments and just damn enjoyable.
The lyrics are so complex and sophisticated, yet brought to a simplistic light with the instrumentation. Matt Healy is very observational with lyrics, and uses extremely clever metaphors and phrases. I'm the only one in my friend group of 3 who likes this song. I think it's a gorgeous tune with string instrumentation, lovely melodies, sounds of folk and acoustic (different to most the 1975 songs) plus clever lyricism.
7:25 Me whenever The 1975 releases a new song. You just can't help but admire how golden Matt Healy's poetry is. What's more captivating is that the whole band makes music blend with it perfectly.
My favorite band in the world! The drummer, one of my biggest inspirations just followed me. Praying we get to make some music one day
I just realized this is the guy from the Darkenss talking about one of my favorite bands of all time. This is so freaking cool!
"The thing that put me off about this band in the first place is the smugness... but what I'm hearing here is real sincerity and beautiful and withdrawn".
Got it in one. There is an element of smugness to their music, as well as everything about the band, but it exists to wrap around the sincerity. Lyrics about French poets in the first part of the song followed by a riff on beat poetry after the first chorus, numerous references to self gratification, funny voices, and an arrangement that makes the song sound more complicated than it is. All this surrounding a simple song showing sincerity and vulnerability about isolation in the rest of the lyrics.
They're a band that get criticised for making broad pop music by some people and making fake deep inaccessible arty crap by others, and tend to play on everyone's opinions and expectations of them to the point of self parody, while still showing that beauty and sincerity that makes their songs special. If you get a chance listen to their new single 'Happiness' for your channel, as well as the album A Brief Enquiry Into Online Relationships for yourself. I think once the smugness is put into context as more than just self gratification it's a lot easier to appreciate the incredible song writing and artistic merits of the band.
Thank you for this video Justin, you're awesome.
Thanks, I'm a middle aged man who is now considering checking out a full 1975 album.
I absolutely love it when I find someone who loves this bands music like I do!
One of them was reading an old book and on the back page someone had written in ink 'The 1975' That's where the name comes from, they just liked the name.
This song is so visceral. It reminds me a lot of something Paul Simon might have done. Thanks for bringing it forward.
Matty Healy’s mind is a fucking jewel in the music industry. Welcome to the fun!! You will never get bored of this band. ♥️
Yay I've been hoping you'd talk about The 1975! This makes me so happy to hear you react like this to them, as The Darkness and The 1975 are two of my favorite bands of all time. I'm beaming and my heart is full.
The 1975 is such an underrated band. They can play just about any genre and have some of the wittiest lyrics out there.
I wasn't a listener of their music at the time, but when I attended the 2019 Leeds festival and saw them live on the mainstage they put on one hell of a performance! There was no denying their talent and work after that.
The 1975 has remained my favorite band since I found them after the release of their first album… they really are the best band in the world
Not a lot of people appreciated the incredible production of this song but it's so transcendent and it really scratches an itch in my brain, exactly what I love about this band
Always hop back to this, pure joy!
if you want to know where the name of the band came from, the frontman came across an old Jack Kerouac book once owned by someone suffering psychotic delusions, and he was struck but what the man had written around the poetry. at the back of the book was written the date “June 1, The 1975”.
That rhyming style reminds me of how Phil Lynott wrote. Lovely stuff. The verse vocal is also reminiscent of Paul Simon's 'You Can Call Me Al.'
Perfect comparisons 👌
I hear Paul Simon too! Absolutely love it.
Fire in my heart forever for The 1975 🔥❤️🔥Matty has all that crazy Charisma.
Been a fan of The 1975 since the Sex EP dropped. Became obsessed with them. Saw them on the smallest gig they played on their first US tour. There was no going back after that. Glad to see you’re enjoying the new stuff.
Went from kind of hearing bits of the debut coming out of my sons room. To secretly becoming a fan and predicting what they would play on SNL and order they would play the songs. Now at 49 they are safely in my top 5 bands of all time and that’s a very exclusive club.
Saw the 1975 with my fiancé in Nashville before the pandemic with another band (pale waves who were also great!!) and they blew me away. I didn’t expect it but that was one of the best nights and concerts of my life.
Was so cool to see you fall in love with this song the same way I did! Matty is a genius
"Stay on the path lads." Thank you for referencing a great horror film.
Man you should definitely listen to their recent Tape Notes episode! You hit the nail bang on the head, this song originally started life as exactly that...a Springsteen/Petty pastiche
I hear strong Paul Simon similarities in the vocal delivery and phrasing as well as in the music to some extent in this song of theirs at least.
Paul had a knack for this type of cadence and delivery..
Shear coincidence here?
Possibly,or who knows?
Interesting installment,thanks!
That was my first thought.
Well spotted and commented. 50 Ways to........ revive a song style from 50 years ago...................
Exactly. My first thought as well
Great catch
True. Sounds like Paul Simon singing on “Viva La Vida”
their new album is just incredible people seem to write them off without even listening to them they’re amazing
Glad someone with actual musical knowledge and understanding reacted to this song.
My favourite Matty lyric is from give yourself a try ‘I found a grey hair in one of my zoots, like context in a modern debate I just took it out’ fucking brilliant.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your breakdown of these songs. This one was a real treat.
Watching you digest, dissect and explain music is exactly what I need and this world needs now. Thank you.
One of my favourite bands
Very recent subscriber and I’m so glad I found your videos, interesting, erudite and never jaded.
Oh wow.. I never knew Justin did this.. underrated is what this channel is.. it’s like a musical class of ingenuity.
They're great, very clever and talented...
Brilliant analysis of a brilliant song… I loved their first album but was taken aback by this track… so interesting, authentic, heartfelt and clever without being smug… love it x
When I first heard Chocolate, I absolutely hated these guys. Couldn't stand them. But over the years they've converted me. Huge fan now. Their talent is undeniable.
How could you even begin to hate Chocolate
@@lonty3584 Come on. Matty's vocals are obnoxious as hell on that track.
@@DuelingPeaks well it's pretty subjective, but I did went karaoke with my sister and sang that song. I actually love that song for me anyways
I dont ever pay attention to pop tbh, but 1975 caught my attention a while ago now and really enjoy a lot of their music and love how they have managed to not get pinned down into any genre really. I literally love how you are gushing, you are usually really balanced and appreciative of artists and quite humble, but here you reveal a slice of happiness :D thanks for sharing!
always great to hear Mr Hawkins critique acts, explain musical phrases. gives music another life for us punters.
Thank you for reviewing this song. I love this band. Matty Healy is an amazing wordsmith. Lyrics like “There’s so much skin to see; it’s a simple Epicurean philosophy.” (Song:The Sound) They cross genres and experiment, so no one will like every song. But they take risks. Another great line, “If she likes it that we just don’t eat, She’s American. If she says I gotta fix my teeth, she’s so American.” (Song:She’s American)
This song came out of the blue, and really emotionally struck me. I love it.
I’d love to see your take on their live version of Oh Caroline, really shows how well they can play
Well done Mr Hawkins... I've actually shed a tear... Perfect song and breakdown. He's quite the lyricist
Just found your channel. Such a delight and a real attention to presentation let alone sound quality. Thank you.
Great look into this tune/band - thanks so much as always 🤙
