In the end, he seems resigned to give up on love completely ('fuck that, get money!'). It's not very logical, but it's very real. Why? Because he's fucking human and sometimes humans get irrationally jealous about things. Despite the fact he is no longer interested in her, it still gets to him to picture her with somebody else. In 'Somebody Else', Matty imagines an ex-girlfriend with a new lover. This is the 1975 doing what they do best exploring the murky side of human emotions, the things you're not supposed to talk about. Most likely to: question whether you will ever watch a film with Ryan Gosling in ever again 2. Play this on a starry night to get the real emotional thwack. It harks back to the early 1975 EPs, prior to their debut album, and it really digs deep into the atmospheric sounds of Joy Division and The Velvet Underground. HAVING SAID ALL THAT this is a rather brilliant song. The idea of a new soundtrack was quite controversial with fans of the film and, to be fair, considering the original soundtrack is so critically lauded (and completely brilliant), it was perhaps a misstep to offer an 'alternative' to the original. It was written specifically for the 2014 Drive re-release, in which a new soundtrack for the film was curated by Zane Lowe. This song might have passed the more casual fan by but it's certainly worth checking out. Most likely to: put you off insulting people, for about a day 3. Imagine writing down a list of insults, putting them in a song and then singing them night after night to thousands of people? Damn son. Ouch! This one's a charmer! The whole song is like a Rocky Balboa, blow-by-blow, retelling of the death of a relationship. Posting pictures of salad and putting it on the internet is one, or being accused of being 'full of diseases' is another, and perhaps most brutally, that he 'looks shit and smells a bit'. 'A Change Of Heart'Įveryone's got a breaking point. Most likely to: make you call your mum 4. It's heartwarming.but it'll get the tears flowing fo sho. One line recalls how, after Matty's birth on a trip to visit his father, that she wanted the plane to 'fall from the sky', and how "she's appalled.she doesn't love me at all".ĭespite the dark subject matter, we think it's an incredibly sweet gesture, particularly as it's from the perspective of a son about his own mother's postnatal depression, because, as Denise said herself, so many women suffer with it in silence. The lyrics confront how helpless and inescapable the situation can be. It's even more remarkable given that Matty's mum, Denise Welch, is a very famous actress in the UK and he doesn't hold back. Postnatal depression isn't your typical lyrical fodder for pop songs, but that's exactly what we get on 'She Lays Down'. Because what's more fun that a group sobbing session to your favourite band, amirite? So we singled just five out that really turn on the water works. It got us thinking though: how many of the 1975's songs make us want to blubber like a baby? Turns out, there are quite a few.
