“So let’s talk about what the lyrics mean and why you wrote them” Matty - “honestly I forgot”

[@ellej6985]

mthigh33 😂 and ya have 1.3k

[@batfarts69]

I'll never be able to forget this😂

[@leoniewilson628]

Bro how tf you forget what you meant when you wrote down something. Likes it’s it your music and your emotions that you wrote down, and you are telling me “oh I you just forgot”.This man didn’t write this song

[@oykuguler5621]

@@leoniewilson628 well he was on drugs so Idk

[@madiemcg]

Matty looks so happy and healthy I am so here for this

[@ceridwenmae5206]

[@Jeremysalsa]

Matty healthy

[@saratrayford5099]

radio guy: "an interesting adventure into the mid of Matty Healy" - Matty: "that's not somewhere you want to stay for very long" *matty is an everyday mood*

[@shrek4972]

Someone PLEASE make a "Matty Healy being confused with himself for a minute straight" video 😂

[@danielcaplan2641]

Phuk Yoo it would be more than a minute.

[@jrdnsmmy8]

It's trying to dumb down your thoughts for the gp as well as only being able to explain Saturn when asked about the universe. Give a topic/not too specific, set of questions, a buzz, a huge dry erase board and hang on for dear life ordering in food and exit the time warp mind like Jello.

[@emmielou5573]

Obviously I clicked on this because I was curious as to what he was going to say, but I genuinely think we need to stop asking artists what their lyrics mean. Sometimes it hits too deep. Sometimes, as Matty said, it changes. Most of the times it means something different to different people. Interpret it how you want. Make the song mean something to you. Don't rely on other's ideas.

[@LisaBabe85]

I know exactly what he means when he says the meanings change and means different things at different times. Depends what mood I'm in, what kind of day I've had etc. That will determine my perception.

[@jakeunderland5258]

I get what you’re saying but I believe artists or any other producer entity should always have a meaning or message, even if transient and fluid, that they want to convey through their work. Too often pseudo-artists just conveniently use the label of “art” in order to justify their creation. They try the o establish absolute value in their creation by rendering its interpretation (and therefore the meaning and value it holds) purely relative. This way they can escape all criticism and relegate the most important part of creating an artwork, the formation of a statement, to the audience, thus creating a piece of art that can be universally acknowledged as valuable (because by saying that the audience creates the meaning of the work, the act of dismissing or critiquing the work would be tantamount to admitting to a lack of imagination or insight and the rebuke of the artwork would turn into a rebuke of oneself). Sometimes entrusting the audience to participate in the creation of value in this way is productive and appropriate, but not when the motive behind it is a desire to glorify or bulletproof one’s creation. And the sad truth is that most people who declare ambiguity and relativity in their work are just using this degraded form of nominalism to validate their work which they’ve created for no particular purpose except for the accumulation of fame and wealth. For whenever an artist reserves a space on their artwork to sign their name, they are thinking not of the art or the value in the art but of fame and self-preservation. Anyways, that’s just my opinion. I realize my view can be criticized as a disenchanted and operationalist account of art and that I cannot repudiate. Feel free to chime in and correct me where im wrong or just down right destroy my argument.

[@Vote2024again]

It's a common question when they don't have anything good to ask 🤔

[@ameliaroyani6451]

yessss, just vibing and represent it by your own perspective

[@angelinaarmstrong4545]

he's such a poet. I love and missed him

[@yeah9025]

hes so self aware i love him

[@emxfletch]

At the stranger things reference matty looks so sad at realisation

[@maxshabazz1543]

Em Fletch that is exactly why I respect when artist stand firm in not explaining the meaning of their songs cause it gives the audience a chance to interpret it their own way and come up with all these crazy theories which makes it interesting and ever lasting imo. Bohemian rhapsody is a perfect example

[@taintedfairy131]

His accent is nothing like what I thought. He has a really clear, friendly accent.

[@tahlialea8282]

Chantelle that’s because his parents are well established actors and he grew up with a good education :)

[@holly9846]

Powerful Panda you think mattys POSH sjdhsjjd omg

[@Fisky-ww6ee]

Chantelle his dad is broad Geordie and Matty is from Durham I think or he’s a really posh Geordie.

[@holly9846]

Paul Fisk matty is from wilmslow just out of manchester, went to schools outside of cheshire and now that he’s older he lives in london lol

[@Fisky-ww6ee]

holly bartley my mistake he is from Manchester and grew up in Newcastle and Cheshire that is how you can hear a bit of Northern in his accent also his dads a Geordie.

[@natoriamorris1566]

He is glowing ❤️💖

[@ceridwenmae5206]

he is tho :)))

[@robfaget3187]

It's called not doing drugs

[@Ranodeep014]

everyone talking about how "healthy" or "glowing" he looks: this is just the magic of a good back brushed hair

[@howtotutorial529]

I admired, respected, listened to each music and interview video, dreamt, wrote letters to, and thought about Matty for a long time and when I seen him on stage... in flesh.. I felt pure happiness. Back then when I went to the concert I was young, depressed, had a lot going on. I have a video of him looking directly at me for a solid second or two. I can't explain it... anyways, Im happy now, I put all my pieces back together and all thanks to Matty and his music who knows where I would be. Thank you. I will always respect that boy no matter if his hair or music changes.. sooo yep

[@rossellabittichesu4284]

[@oofoof380]

I honestly do think that Matty is one of the most curious creatures to live. Sometimes he seems so closed off and other times so enjoyable and honest with us. He talks about being addicted to drugs but he looks so happy I don't care as long as he's okay. I don't picture Matty to be the type of person to hurt somebody while in the correct state of mind. God, we all need somebody like Matty in our lives.

[@roraio]

He's soooooo well spoken and posh I just bloody adore him!!! Plus, brilliant musician!!

[@kierless]

blonde matty is everything

[@yeah9025]

he looks so happy

[@shyguitargirl]

I love that he called Gabby 'babe' though. I know they've been dating for a while, but still. It's so sweet.

[@Emelllll64]

They should've asked him about the 'found a grey hair in one of my zoots, like context in a modern debate I just took it out' line

[@redskins1159]

take a shot every time matty says you know cant do it can you

[@shyguitargirl]

Omg I thought the same thing. Lol

[@plastic_cleopatra]

mancunians and their expressions. johnny marr and matty with their "you know" and the gallaghers with their "d'ya know what i mean?"

[@Vote2024again]

OMG he looks like his mom LOL

[@saraa.b.2369]

He mentioned gabbie why do i support this relationship so much 😩❤️

[@vulcandolly]

i’ve been in love with this man for sooo long and i had no idea he had a girlfriend oh my.

[@introsete]

they've been together for like 3 years

[@undomyhead4557]

They've been dating for years, but keep their relationship pretty private because of all of the hate Gabby was getting from fans :/

[@alykimble4193]

Undomyhead clearly not real fans 😭

[@vulcandolly]

i love the 1975 and i’ve been following them since the start but life got busy and when they weren’t coming out with anything new for a bit i sort of went off and listened to some other bands and waited for them to release something new. you can be a fan of a band and not know every detail of a members life :)

[@Sky-di9iy]

Are we not going to ask about "the box" tattooed on her arm?

[@littlemilkcat9421]

Sky i believe the box represents the band’s logo, someone had the band’s logo tattooed on their arm and they killed themselves

[@elladunford5282]

the box is symbolic of the 1975 :) she was a fan of them

[@ceridwenmae5206]

hahaa yeah...

[@perrie7052]

That’s so sad :(

[@kirsty9084]

Anna good guy o shit. poor girl.

[@katiebush5646]

it's nice to hear that he and gabby are still together. i thought they broke up and i was sad bc she seems really great.

[@undomyhead4557]

I'm so glad they're still together too. They're very private about their relationship so we don't see many posts about it, and she's been in LA for a couple months now. He sent her flowers on her birthday though which was super cute

[@_ann1313]

When Matty replied "that's not somewhere you want to stay very long" i FELT THAT

[@isabela3677]

i love it how he has so much on his mind he can’t even put it into words and explain what he means

[@rozemarijnbakker8853]

FUN DRINKING GAME; take a shot everytime Matty says 'you know'

[@susieokalley6458]

No do that instead with 'that'

[@charcoalalien4362]

dude he is the real definition of talent

[@creatorsprotector103]

I'm a new fan and I'd just like to put it out there that I love they way this guy explains things this band has such a good vibe

[@Citizenshane81]

Matt Healey & the 1975 are dope. That’s coming from a 37 year old heterosexual man. When I hear their songs it takes me to so many places and situations I’ve been in before. Something soothing and comforting about their music. Keep on keepin’ on, Man!

[@cloud90000]

your opinion is not more valid because you’re a 37 yr old cis man , shane

[@Citizenshane81]

depayser claudia I agree. It was a dumb comment. My point was more about how old I feel. Sorry if it offended you.

[@star-jc2pn]

this is my favourite song of all time

[@angapaloar]

Hearing him talk about his girlfriend so openly makes my heart hurt a little bit

[@angapaloar]

oh nothing bad! apparently they are very happy.. thats what makes my heart hurt ..(im joking btw)

[@jurgitux21]

I didn't know about The 1975 and Matty Healy up until 2, 3 weeks ago.. I regret not giving attention sometimes to songs on the radio or elsewhere. I would have known about this band way earlier if I would have had better attention 💜 I love their music 💜

[@ele9780]

I think we all lost hope when he mentioned gabby

[@Adriana-nb4mi]

Ele lmaoo ik

[@fru_si]

Ele who is Gabby?

[@ele9780]

freak's never going home I'm saying! I think matty mentions that's his gf though

[@undomyhead4557]

Ele - Why would you lose hope? They've been dating 3 years now

[@undomyhead4557]

freak's never going home - Matty's girlfriend for the past 3 years. He said at a concert last year that this is the "first proper time he's ever been in love"

[@kerysb3639]

i love u matthew timothy healy

[@Queen-gz7ep]

Matty is looking great. Like he had a lots of sleep and havent been drinking a lot lately.

[@louise_8906]

he seems happy, i'm glad. that makes me happy.

[@kskinda9931]

I’m in love with this man

[@kaitlinmathis9192]

Oh my I love him so much

[@brinta_xo]

Matty is an everyday mood

[@lexieshack]

i missed him

[@alexandraloayza7546]

I remembered i first saw this interview when it came out and swore i would see him live perform live and I’m still processing the fact that my dream came true 2 weeks ago and now im here again. Weirdest dejavú

[@TMBlover33]

Songs are poems, everybody interprets them differently, you read into it with your own mind and what you think of the lyrics in that time, the ideas change as you change

[@jadenebossenger4806]

Matty looks so happyyyyy 🌈

[@belieber529]

I could listen to matty talk for days

[@ChicaStones]

Also, why is no one addressing the "jane took her life at 16" line. Like cmon, everybody knows that's the elephant in the room.

[@OhhSoSophie]

Federica I believe Jane was a fan of the band who had their 'box' (you know, what's featured on their album covers) tattooed on her arm who sadly took her own life at just 16.

[@ChicaStones]

actually I got informed and I think it was a guy named matty that was 20 yrs old and took his life before a show. Healy had to read on stage a message that this guy's friends just sent him. There's footage of that moment. I think he changed the age to 16 and the name to be respectful. But also I think it's more like an example, because when you're in a popular band among teens, this shit unfortunately happens. and It's hard to bear. *But..... I still don't get why no interviewer asks him about that line, it looks like they're all scared to mention it*

[@ErinxXxBaby]

This was really the first blonde look I've seen of his that I've loved!

[@sheilasimmons9394]

Matty is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brandonlee6708]

What a guy 👍

[@rr-to9zz]

love listening to Matty, I could do it all day long :)

[@FunkMaster_J]

It seems pretty self explanatory to me. Give yourself a try. life is short so live your life even when things get painful. how will you ever know what you are made of if you don't live it? So go through it and learn what you are made of. Seems pretty simple and good advice to me.

[@toasternessstudios5238]

To be clear- I understand my complete insignificance in comparison to famous people. But I write lyrics and completely agree. I’ll forget what something meant and think up a new idea for it, or in some cases just trust my past self with the memory of a genuine feeling being poured out in a song

[@tiffanip5047]

I can’t wait to see them in concert again whenever they go on tour !!!

[@rachzainhass]

As a song writer I totally get what he is saying sometimes my songs are like little humans they teach me about themselves everyday. Like kids they will not me forced into being somebody they are not. Song defo mean different things to me at different points in my life

[@ikejaeilan]

Idk why but I feel like he’s finding his clarity. This is something new

[@idiot2000]

He’s so cute..my whole heart..ahh

[@dierzel8537]

Matty being matty in a nutshell that revolves in my mind. Go on interpret the lyrics I wouldn't say a word about what it is all about. Listen to it.

[@chloechristinecaparas8122]

am i the only one who thinks it's cute when he called gabby "babe" for the clearance of STD?

[@undomyhead4557]

not the only one! I freaked!!! This is the first time he's mentioned her by name in an interview and I'm living for it
