The 1975 - "Facedown" - Facedown EP - Part 1

[@curlyb9710]

I remember the first time I heard this, I was in the passenger seat of my friends car as we were driving on a highway. It was evening, and for some reason in that moment everything seemed so beautiful, almost perfect.

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

Yeah

[@0vermyshoulder]

honestly sounds like perfection

[@bildakid]

It was perfect!

[@melinadampier1641]

I love when music can make everything in life seem so good!!

[@melinadampier1641]

But then there are also times when music makes me think of all the things I'm missing out on, and just everything that could have been.

2 years later and I’m drunk and crying. This bad will always be a part of me even if he doesn’t love me

[@joegreenwood1048]

The song 'lostmyhead' from the new album is a continuation of this song. The first line of the new song is 'Then you say I've lost my head. Can you see it?' Which is the last line of this song!

[@limekisses8071]

How did you find this out?? (Well apart from the title being 'lostmyhead'😂) but I honestly can't wait to here it.

[@joegreenwood1048]

The location of video is so symbolic. I think he's in tunnel because it's referencing the phrase "there's light at the end of the tunnel" and if you notice the end of the tunnel has no light. Showing that he's lost hope. Even the light bulbs overhead are starting to flicker out. The artificial lights symbolizing that even the little good in his life is starting to die out, since it was never to truly real. Or maybe I'm just looking too deep into this

[@a-line7604]

That comment was beautiful. Also they've said that they wrote these songs (antichrist, and facedown) when they were in a dark time which is why Matty can't preform antichrist without breaking down. Which is why it irritates me when people say their lyrics are bad because each song they pour their heart and soul into writing

[@azucenaramirez6274]

+aaline they actually love Antichrist and said they would play it if they knew the lyrics. even their manager wants them to play it since its one of his favorite songs. it might be on a future setlist soon ((:

[@a-line7604]

Suzy Ramirez omg did you see mattys tweet!!

[@azucenaramirez6274]

[@Lofikingsnow]

+a-line I love this comment cause you got me thinking and shit

[@thehealy2676]

// I honestly think The 1975 are truly the most amazing band in the world. They possess the power to transport you to another world in no time. They have lyrics that you could relate to, they have stories some could relate to, they are 100% real and they don't care whether you like the real them or not. Sure they aren't like so many bands they don't have the looks you would find in other modern day bands (you know the ones that are photo shopped) but still they are more attractive than any other. It's like they can reach down your soul and touch it. The chills that they give you are not like any other. The chills are the ones where your arm and back hair stand up but it's warm that you want to feel it again and again, I honestly can say with every ounce of my body agreeing that there will never be a band like The 1975. I feel bad for the generation.People won't hear what absolute genius The 1975 music is. I love The 1975 // May they always be heard forever.

[@laradias6348]

[@govindadhikari1]

You nailed it bro... perfectly summed up. I think the 1975 is a very unique band and different from others. Their music, it's so soulful ,take you into another world. So uplifting, make you forget everything and let you fly with the melodies. It touches your heart and make you feel good without any reason. Everytime when I listen them,they sound better.

[@hauntmybed6037]

!

[@joshturner3084]

My favorite band ever by far, they are literally just bounds above any others

[@andygolledge111]

What are and will become one of the most anticipated bands of this generation i'm sure of it. Can't wait for Facedown and more

@@jakethehuman7 you'll understand if u stan this band for a long time

[@astridway4240]

@Tack Draas i mean,, true rock in the mainstream is kinda dead

[@thekiyannaaa]

I've been listening to The 1975 for awhile now but I've just now been interested in this song. I use to listen to music for their voices, but when listening to The 1975, I enjoy Matty's voice as well as the music the rest of the band produces. Not only is the sound beautiful, but they fit it all so perfectly with the visuals. I've never been so infatuated with a band and every song they've written!

[@nikiwasnthere]

the best thing is when you're singing along and matches matty's mouth-movements

[@imsotiredokay]

i have had more connection with this band than any other people from my life. and they're 'just a band', but to me they're more than just a band. a mentor/old friend of that sort.

[@fluffybunnies00]

what i love about them is they make it visually just as beautiful as he sound of their music..this is awesome

[@skyesam767]

but does anyone else notice the 'i lost my head' part? that he obviously looked back on this song and decided to incorporate it in his new album? anyone? because that just hit me straight in the feels.

[@yoshikikishinuma5409]

Actually, the Lostmyhead on the new album is remake of the Lostmyhead they made when they were called Drive Like I Do/ BIGSLEEP. The lyrics used in Facedown are actually from the original Lostmyhead: www.dailymotion.com/video/x2mrv1j

[@skyesam767]

oh wow, i feel so behind

[@darastockstill6662]

Broken heads in hospital beds Saving ends and pulling your friends While you're chasing the first line We made it through He's black and blue and facedown She's rushing in your bed You take draws to sort your head facedown Then he said I lost my head Can you see it?

[@denisehope5923]

thAnk YOU

[@cheesecakelasagna]

what ya'll's interpretation of this song?

[@XxTokioJunkiexX]

I wish this song and video lasted forever

[@stevenrobbins7402]

Not sure I've fallen in love with a band as fast as I have these guys. So creative, both visually and in audibly that each album has its own vibe. Love these guys.

[@amybean1607]

They need to make more music like this and antichrist wow

[@finnnc]

***** confirmedddd?

[@finnnc]

***** I didn't even notice! thank you

[@TinPerez]

June 1st, The 1975 is where they got their name. From an old journal or something that Matty found. But who knows, if they do release it on June 1st. Seems fitting!

[@wikiiwan]

***** it will be probably '2'

[@imawesome6726]

Not Troll its not called '2' matty made an instagram comment saying that it would not be the name of the album

[@ringstaystingray]

I swear every time I listen to this song, it either propels me into an existential crisis or helps me reconcile my already profound despair towards life and death and all the silliness that exists (or doesn't) in between. Especially that beginning bit before he starts singing, it sounds so damn light and sweet and serene, as if everything's turned so gentle and warm and humid beneath the spring morning's sun in your grandparents' old farm. It feels somewhat eerie sometimes, yet also comforting and altruistic. It's honestly really strange, but it's brilliant nonetheless. Plus it's also just an incredibly sentimental piece, and that obviously merely adds to the whole atmospherical, yet invisible sphere that seems to surround this song's pretty tunes.

[@FlatTinley]

SO TRUE

[@leuc316]

I asure you that anobrain would give u the same feeling

[@ringstaystingray]

@@leuc316 Facedown feels more lonesome and forlorn and generally just more exasperated to me than Anobrain, but both are still equally as intimate and crude. The "I think I love you" line in Anobrain is honestly just enlightening.

[@leuc316]

They all have made our life less miserble my friend

[@Ethan-yz6tj]

i got a breakup text to this song now i get really happy whenever i hear it. it makes me feel like i made it through it was a huge sigh of relief. we both liked each other but we weren't meant for one another.

[@eleanorharrington469]

makes me so emotional. i have been here since day 1 and i will never forget it. im crying omg

[@sweetcreature1013]

its incredible how much their style has changed. early music so instrumental and now theyre super synth pop i still love them though matty is amazing

[@takeshot3]

birdy no they're still like this. I'll paraphrase his line: the EPs are wide body of work/music with each EP centering on singles namely: The City, Sex, and Chocolate . while the album is single on single on single.
