I was listening to Skyhill on the ride home; something which i accidentally posted in the complain thread whoops
BUT MY COPY OF I LIKE IT WHEN YOU SLEEP HAS ARRIVED SO LET THE LISTENING COMMENCE:
1. THE 1975
a. is this the same thing as the first album? I hope not
b. It's a remix of the old intro of the same name
c. OH MY GOD
d. THESE VOCALS
e. AHHHHHHH
f. HELP
g. this sounds a little like a live recording
h. I can actually understand it, though perhaps that's because the lyrics are the same
i. This is trippy as hell
2 LOVE ME
a. I've already heard this song
b. I love this song
c. It's still amazing
d. My favourite song off the album tbh
e. Harmonies????????? they sound good whatever they are
f. looking on A-Z the lyrics changed from this songs release? We still cant understand Matty. Shame
g.
We've just come to represent
A decline in the standards are what we accept
3. UGH
a. I don't remember what this song sounds like
b. Awesome apparently
c. I like how this album keeps with the theme of having bgm that sounds similar but not
d. Why the hell haven't I listened to this more??????
e. Matty is a scary genius
f. "caaaaaaaallllllll"
4 A CHANGE OF HEART
a. FIRST NEW SONG WHOOO
b. ooooo this sounds pretty
c. Welp this is an outright mention of his drug addiction, although Chocolate was pretty much there
d. I can't tell if he's singing or talking
e. this song is actually very sad; still good though
f. This song is sung lower than any other 1975 song, even Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You wasn't this low
g.
And then you took a picture of your salad
And put it on the Internet
h. ^^^random lyric
i. I don't think they sung this live; it doesn't sound familiar
j. I cant tell if those are supporting vocals or some weird synth???? That's not a good sign
5. SHE'S AMERICAN
a. Yep they played this one live
b. THOSE DRUMS AHHH
c. SO GOOD
d. harmonies
e. Oh what a let down is a lyric that's been used in two albums now
f.
If she likes it cause we just don't eat
And we're so intelligent, she's American
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Then she's so American (she's American)
If she likes it cause we just don't eat
And we're socially relevant, she's American
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Then she's so American (she's American)
Matty's essentially stating that making a big deal of people's mannerisms; since they stem from coming from different nations to yourself is silly
6.IF I BELIEVE YOU
a. ???? Trippy sound ensues????????
b. ??????what??????
c. OH DANM DRUMS
d. DRUMS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY FAKE ARE OBVIOUS
e. THIS BEAT IS STRANGELY CATCHY
f. Meet a song they played live
g. Female vocals????
h. The composition on this is very strange, it makes it kind of infatuating
i. I cant understand Matty so much I thought he was talking backwards for like 2 seconds.
j. Ooooo religious song; I'm down
k. Oooh a saxaphone break
l. I love how there are actual question marks here Matty no one can understand you
m. Did this BGM just go like Pullblox/ Underwater Mario?????
n. Accurate representation of religion is accurate
7. Please Be Naked
a. Oh dear Jesus Matty
b. Is this why the tracklist isn't on the back of the physical copy
c. how does a song with this tittle come after what it comes after?
d. every track seems to start with some weird audio recording
e. PIANO?????
f. This album is more depressing than the neon aesthetic makes it out to be; though perhaps that's the point
g. This just puts those postcards into perspective
h. Underwater drums???
i. I swear I hear Matty sniffling
j. I think they played this song live for us
l. Yep they did and we were the chillest reaction they'd had
m. More underwater Mario sounds?
n. This just sounds nice; very calming
o. FIRST INSTRUMENTAL PIECE

c. This sounds like the opening to a Katamari game
d. Im pretty sure they played this one live
e. Yep.
f. This entire album is about drugs isn't it
g. Drums sound nice though
10. Somebody Else
a. This sounds very cool
b. This album was 80s and then very soundcloud techno
c. This sounded really different live
d. Now i understand why the show I went to was so chill, the album is like 90% chill
e. These vocals just got awesome
f. GLaDoS?????
g. Just reading the back of the CD jacket apparently Matty's Grandma and Aunt died during the creative process for this song (though what part not mentioned) Probably has an impact on the final sound
h. This song is really good
11. Loving someone
a. OooooOOoo interesting sound
b. This just gives me Japanese House vibes like 100%
c. What is this instrumental??
e.
My heart is telling me the telly isn't telling me anything
I need but it needs to keep you selling me
Besides celebrities lacking in integrity
Holding up the status quo instead of showing your kids
That they matter, who're you gonna buy up next
Keep hold of their necks and keep selling them sex
It’s better if we keep them perplexed
It's better if we make them want the opposite sex
And this drives drunk through criminal minds
And you camp out beside where your man resides
You're not slow, it's just never been shown
That you should...
We're all human, we're just like you man
We're sentient, we're something
You know I can't really remember, whatever
We shouldn't have people afloat
If it was safer underground, we wouldn't be on a boat
Shot of telepathy, exploiting insecurities, and preying on the purity
Of grief and it's simplicity but I know that maybe I'm too scared to call
Even Guy Debord needed spectacles, you see
I'm the Greek economy of cashing intellectual cheques
And now I'm trying to progress, but instead of selling sex...
And I think I should be...
h. The following paragraph was found on AZ lyrics and after reading it and not making a lick of sense from it, I turned to my CD jacket and found it was completely wrong.
I am forever alongside the boys in jumpers on bikes
With scarves and cars with autumn leaves
Falling in spirals across the mid afternoon
Which plays the battle culturally
Which is not going to exist on a simple interface
When they feel and miss when [?] tested
Individuals who understand the human condition
Then they understand the duality of our own reality
Living life and treating it as such
There's a certain disconnect
With the culture that controls the artist with comfort and abandon
Between the spires and the morning boozer that likes
Sitting in that orange English light
At certain points, English shadow
Peering off the side of [?]
The actual words are these
I am forever alongside the boys in jumpers on bikes
With scarves and cars with autumn leaves
Falling in spirals across the mid afternoon
She blazed about how Cultural Language is an operating system
A simple interface rendered feeble and listless when tested with divinity or true understanding of the human condition
I never did understand - The duality of art and reality- Living life and treating it as such, but with a certain disconnect to touch that cajoles at the artist with comfort and abandon.
And between the spires and rolling roofs of the white city that orange English light cast one singular shadow; for you are not beside but within me
