The 1975 - It's About Time (BFIAFL DEMO)

Demo recording by The 1975 as featured on Tape Notes podcast

[@stopwhispering2697]

i'm gonna chase jack antonoff with a shovel over this

[@joeytribianni9280]

He made this song...?

[@SiddharthMishraLastOne]

@@joeytribianni9280 He's the producer, so he probably swung the song in a different direction, leading to the official release. Commenter is mad it means this version was shelved

[@superlynx98]

@@SiddharthMishraLastOne this demo was made by George Daniel long before Jack was involved

[@SiddharthMishraLastOne]

@@superlynx98 Exactly, hence the lack of Jack Antonoff influence. The commenter would've preferred this version

[@kateelizabeth7938]

jack didnt produce this

[@janicaclaremartirez3793]

"Fuck, maybe this one's better." 😂

[@user-lg3yj2fz2j]

The actual one sounds like the classic 1975 the most, i love how dreamy it is. but this one is a banger too

[@NathalyV99]

they need to put this on a deluxe version

[@rfdhjsf]

I CANT STOP LISTENING I WISH THEYD RELEASE THIS VERSION

[@TheeOrdinaryJoe]

I CAN TOTALLY RELATE AND AGREE WITH YOU

[@Xdantheman21]

This SOUNDS INSANE NEED THIS ON STREAM

[@gabrieladdison]

This is epic the track that ended up coming out is totally different but both are good lol 😂 they gotta put this out

[@christopherduggan6272]

This is awesome. I think they made a brave choice to make the album sound different. As much as I like this version Matty's right that it sounds like a retracting of their previous steps. But damn we love those steps 🙂

[@elliesmith1740]

This sounds so much like the 1975! I absolutely love this!

[@getmeouttahere3440]

i just need every 1975 stan to go listen to All My Friends by LCD soundsystem and please wait until he starts singing.

[@wuzupa11]

Oh dang it’s so similar

[@dinosaurusrex1387]

Tysmmmm for the recommendation

[@cameronhughes9707]

Omg I was thinking about this recently!!

[@brianmonahan5330]

LCD Soundsystem vibes - love both tracks 🤍🤍

[@lepythagore3288]

sounds like Someone Great a bit

[@brianmonahan5330]

@@lepythagore3288 Agreed! Also, 'All My Friends' especially on the studio version

[@dinosaurusrex1387]

Tysm for this lol

[@LRM5195]

Dang I love this sound. That beginning “riff” reminds me of Baba O Riley by The Who

[@JC-be4fu]

"It sounds quite old" but amazing. Love it.

[@adamsojka3345]

sound like a song straight outta brief inquiry

[@jaataa947]

this is insanely good I need this released

[@hannahluv24]

I LOVE THE ONE ON THE ALBUM BUT I THINK I WOULDA PREFERRED THIS ONE I LOVEEEE THIS

[@sailorboon]

Living for the björk sample

[@lepythagore3288]

Would fit right on ILIWYS! So funny that this sounds a bit like a LCD Soundsystem too a bit (Someone Great). Ok I genuinely think this might be better than the already great album version

[@Hunnydew]

I love both equally and I feel like I experience both of them dependent on my mood for the day. Like am I trying to dance the world away or change the world ..

[@Moonlight-mz7mu]

Nah cuz im genuinely mad at the fact they didnt put this on the album. The version on it now doesnt come near to this one…. Wow…. 😭😭😭

[@ahmedeladawy4864]

This should’ve been releasedddd!!!!!!!!!

[@Veteranemo]

Always coming back to this to remember where I was and where I was to be. God bless The 1975.

[@jnglboy_48]

my favorite band of all time

[@bemmadedemmabemma3312]

god this is so awesome

[@1975coucou]

i will never get over this.

[@shamishito1]

“F*ck maybe this is better” hahs

[@ellie1597]

I don’t want know why they went from “fuck maybe this is better” to releasing the album version. I just know I need this one

[@laurasilva9007]

Hot take, this is the better version of the song on its own but the album version fits the album better

[@coldhands6648]

it'd be so cool if someone edits out the talking from the podcast

[@orbinsolem]

need this version x

[@charlottetownsend8274]

If they don’t release this I’ll riot

[@evarh7943]

i’m so drunk, and this goes so hard

[@sikguy9939]

sounds like something that would be on abiior or noacf

[@tobygrantham7215]

To me it sounds more like an ILIWYS song, love it

[@1975coucou]

@@tobygrantham7215yes!!!

[@lukepreston8362]

Oh this ruined my day why did they not release this

[@TaliaRozencwaig]

still waiting for the to release this

[@zarellehcim]

Omg please please please please release this

[@CODplayer2012]

George Daniel you're a genius

[@_timesawastin]

they could’ve out this put but decided to push the atmosphere into a new direction. Im sure most music by other artists will sound like their new album even NOACF. But of course by then, The 1975 will sound like something else.

[@iusedtomakefandubswheniwas3052]

Prefer this than the album version

[@loupiscoya]

I love Jack and Bleachers but I feel like I would’ve loved this album more if he didn’t touch it 🥲

[@kuna5624]

I think Jack helped it to be more concise… if the band was left to their own devices they would’ve fucked it up fs

[@pcraig2225]

What a strange comment he literally produced it so how do you know you’d love it hahaha

[@josephbarlow6603]

Truth

[@sorryimsosad]

@@kuna5624 they did fine w Brief Inquiry by themselves, and for all the controversy Notes had its still pretty unique in this landscape. How it jumps from hard rock to shoegaze, to house music, to pop, to emo, to britpop, folk, country, etc, So pretty funny you’re so confident theyd “fuck it up”

[@wanther_]

this sounds so NOACF or ABIIOR edit: this is a really COOL transition from NOACF to BFIAFL

[@MrDwightSchrute]

Love this!

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

Lmao fucking Bjork sample

Goosebumps

[@soulcantspeech]

This'll get bigger, if you know what I mean I'm sorry if you're living and you're seventeen I heard it's en vogue to be super thin but Your friends aren't thick, so they can't come in I'm feeling apathetic after scrolling through hell I think I've got a boner but I can't really tell And nothing makes kids pay attention in class With the world in a state of ubiquit-ass And I can't sleep 'cause the American dream Has been buyin' up all of my self-esteem While QAnon created a legitimate scene But it was just some bloke from the Phillipines And it's about time And this is what it looks like Sorry 'bout my 20's, I was learnin' the ropes I had a tendency of thinkin' 'bout it after I spoke

[@walkman23]

me and matty watch the same niche youtube videos bc why did he use the bjork tv video as a sample

[@realgeoff99]

we were robbed

[@changeofheart75]

Real.

[@quanicle101]

this is cool, but it wouldn’t have fit with the aesthetic of the rest of the album and that “ubiquitass” line is so bad lmao

[@MonticArckeys]

Should have added this as a remix version/alternative version

[@InternetRat]

LCD sounds like

[@boogermaiden]

Why didn't they include this??????

[@thomashayeslang]

Lyrics: This will get bigger if you know what I mean. I’m sorry if you’re living and you’re seventeen. I heard it’s en vogue to be super thin. But you’re friends aren’t thick so they can’t come in. I’m feeling apathetic after scrolling through hell. I think I’ve got a b***r but I can’t really tell. You’ll never make kids pay attention in class With the world in a state of ubiquitass. And I can’t sleep because of the American dream Has been buying up all of my self-esteem, While Qanon created a legitimate scene. But it was just some bloke in the Philippines And it’s about time, This is what it looks like. I’m sorry about my twenties, I was learning the ropes. I had a tendency of thinking about it after I spoke. that’s it…

JackMeAntonoff took so much away from this album 😭😭 Joking, but I’d love to hear how the 1975 themselves would’ve made the album. An alternate album would be awesome, like a purchasable LP if it or something at least, take my money 😅
