This is the mature peak of The 1975.. it's not for everyone and this is the most beautiful thing..

[@LeRomSan]

"it's not for everyone " Now it will turn out that this music has right of admission?

[@endammir]

lmfao they're making the most accessible music with songs like this, tf r u talking about

[@JustZendii]

it was just my personal thought.. accessibile ok, but they're the same that played Robbers for teenagers in the Tumblr era. It's a huge difference for me..

[@lukemiller1793]

well said man

[@guitaria66636]

idk about that.. of course it’s super beautiful but what about it makes it mature? listen to “A brief inquiry into online relationships,” i feel that album is super “mature.” the lyrics are intellectual but still come from the heart. i would call their new style more adventurous and controlled (in the best way) if anything. not exactly “mature” or “not for everyone.”

[@konnorbellmore80]

I can't describe why I love this new era so much. Matty sounds so natural and comfortable up there, even if he may not be nailing every single note, it feels organic and raw. I feel like this song has existed for years and it brings me happiness every time I hear it

[@ktwashere5637]

I would rather a singer hit a few bum notes than mime.

[@jackhamm7745]

He's never been the best singer. Often uses live autotune at shows. But that's perfectly OK. They aren't trying to fake being Adele. They just have a good time and want everyone else to as well, and they make some serious BOPS in the process.

[@rayklein3150]

@@jackhamm7745 i mean the autotune use in live performance isn't for covering his imperfection tho, it's an intentional effect to make the vocal sound robotic

[@ErinxXxBaby]

@@jackhamm7745 What? He's an amazing singer...Like you need to watch or listen to acoustic performances. Dude can sing like no other!

[@jackhamm7745]

As a 62yr music fan, I have been aware of this band for a while, but never really listened closely to them. Whoa, that changed after watching this on Jools tonight, the band absolutely blew me away, what a performance, everyone in the band on top, and what a frontman Matty is! Brilliant!

Absolutely incredible how tight they are together in the rhythm section and my god the melodies in the saxophone solo are just so perfectly thought out. Cant wait to see these guys live in December

The band is so tight it's hard to believe it's live. Matty is perfect here as a frontman/singer: Attitude first, good singing next. Good singing does not mean he hits every note perfectly because that is sterility, not fun. He has fun with it, playful and very good because this incredible band is so good that Matty has the room to play around some. And the song ain't half bad either ;)
