Sympathy is far from being my favorite Declan track (don't dislike it, but meh), but I was sure it would work wonders live, especially the jam towards the end. Turns out it is in fact better live and I liked it waaay more. Looking forward to the new album.

Maybe it takes time to value the new desire for positivity of this song

"You don't need to be clever" Declan says to the committed himself

what happened to her usual drummer ? :(

[@eliasfret1319]

She plays now with The 1975...

[@kyleroczniak]

nathan cox, willy bish, and gabi king left the band and have been replaced by linus fenton, ben limmer, and henry pearce

[@appleget]

@@kyleroczniak out of curiosity, do you know the reason for their leaving? I know Gabi is touring with the 1975 so maybe that was her reason. But I'm curious about the others. I really loved the vibe of the band. I saw Declan back in July and while it was an amazing performance I just really missed the original lineup. Although Henry does go hard on that tambourine.

[@kyleroczniak]

@@appleget not really sure, willy bish is in cmat’s band now which is amazing!! nathans a really successful producer/sound guy in his own right too and works with loads of credible people so it might just be them personally wanting to take different routes, or dec could have felt it was time for a bit of a shake up. nathan did a post about it on instagram a while back. i reckon we’ll see them all back one day

[@biankisann]

@@eliasfret1319wait what happened to the 1975 drummer then? 🤣

[@calebohagan]

He is definitely the new Elton John

[@Butterz420z]

The band is better with Gabi on drums. IMO

[@CG-le9st]

Disagree. Ben is going places, mark my words....

[@sbinallazar7377]

Yeah now he's gone. And the new geez isn't half as good he's using sheet music​@@CG-le9st

[@Jim36061]

Fuckin hell thats awful

[@ionasmith1998]

Your opinion is wrong

[@jader444]

start making music, go to a festival, play guitar and piano, and do the same as Declan so

[@karupe9982]

Not awful in general, awful for your ears specifically. Which is such a shame

[@ionasmith1998]
