The 1975 - Rather Be in the Live Lounge

[@alexusthomas521]

They turned this "fun ,upbeat, dance with your friends" song into this slow, sensual, sex me up in the back of a club at 2am song, and I am so ready for it. My god I think I honestly prefer this to the original although I can still appreciate both versions.

[@jewelholiday6274]

ikr! I wasn't prepared.

[@carriehealy_]

that "sex me up in the back of a club at 2am song" lmao i feel youuu 🤣🤣🤣

[@funnybank1832]

[@TheSteven9430]

THE NBHD :)

[@mookieatsix]

the perfect trio, if any two of those three were to make a song i'd probably die of excitement

[@AmandaLovesYouSoMuch]

they should all go on a tour together

[@jcv8716]

[@bchar5]

[@JenniferAnimals]

can we talk about how beautifully john played that sax well, they all played beautifully but i feel like john doesnt get enough recognition

[@timpage9424]

Saw him hit the solo from Me at Red Rocks a few years ago and it was incredible.

[@elena2426]

John is fine too.

[@Sampleador]

T he live version of Birthday party when John enters is gonna be great

[@luciabotfield682]

can we all just talk about how tiny and cute matt healy looks at the beginning

[@reginaaguirre5499]

matty healy*

[@luciabotfield682]

Regina aguirre yeah ik i realised i wrote it wrong but idk how to edit it :(

[@reginaaguirre5499]

oh okay(:

[@trishrai1446]

Lucia Botfield he looked so tiny

[@adarool3333]

i almost CRIED i am not fine :((((

[@jeanneramos3672]

they can make any song sound sexy 😍

[@joanacosta5275]

Any word*

[@valentinakonych5768]

+Joana Santos I want Matty to speak this words : Fridge , Elevator, Toast , Grandma .

[@joanacosta5275]

DingDong YourOpinionIsWrong he already sayed grandma in a interview when he explain his tattoos

[@ariisayshii]

+DingDong YourOpinionIsWrong he says toast in an interview about Australia

[@valentinakonych5768]

Okay guys this was a joke

[@tealeweaves]

god i love the way he says the 1975,, the nine-een sevennyfive

[@MiaMia.2]

m8 that's called sounding a little chavvy

[@prozetta]

Shut up idiot. What are you from germany or something ;D

[@abhii775]

Wtf 😂😂

[@tanzeemahmed7196]

Sneaky Kiki If anything he's posh as heck.

[@DaCrolla]

The weeknd collaborating w the 1975 would be mad

[@zoozoo1729]

+DaCrolla or with The neighborhood :)

[@zoozoo1729]

+Kwon Hee Ji (Christina) lol I know darling ;) jk

[@AaliyaManzoor]

that would be dope af

[@DoctorMeep]

+Zuleima Avila RIGHT I WAS SERIOUSLY THINKING THAT!

[@marilynmenjivar4531]

+DaCrolla yeah but the weeknd is cliche

[@jordynmarie7523]

I would to hear a full cover of a Weeknd song from The 1975

[@annastucki4925]

specifically The Morning. Matty's voice + The Morning = sex

[@hannimatugas]

Oh my God, this was exactly what I was thinking of. Seriously, that would be a good idea.

[@loreen2503]

Jordyn Marie same

[@SuperMisterKory]

One of the best bands around right now by far. Theirs is the one of the few albums I can ever remember purchasing that after months and months of listening to, I'm still playing it on repeat. Absolutely incredible.

[@SuperMisterKory]

Brian Daniel The played a free gig here in Hull just as I was getting into them (so, I wasn't too fussed about going at the time), but now, looking back, I can't believe the chance I missed out on:(

[@Charleypassy]

Drenge, Catfish and The Bottlemen and The Family Rain all shit on this bollocks

[@SuperMisterKory]

Charley Passy Each to their own:) I'm not forcing my opinions down on anyone, the bands you mentioned are probably pretty good but it's gonna take a lot for me to get past my 1975 phase, haha. Even now, two months after posting my original comment, what I wrote still stands!

[@bayley2349]

Charley Passy Catfish and teh Bottlemen are a great band but Thr 1975 have a beautiful unique sound as @SuperMisterKory said "Each to their own opinion"

[@harrydevereux8666]

And now, still the same?

[@eeelle__]

I'm still here after 8 years. Still sounds so good.

[@Mssalexis]

Here with yah

[@alexandrawalsh3201]

HOW IS SOMEONE SO SEXY BUT THEN ADORABLE LIKE WHAT

[@scaryary]

That's what I'm wondering

[@soniachapple3141]

I know right 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@vhenan2341]

I was definitely not expecting that voice from the way he sounded when he was talking.

[@charlottesmyley4137]

In a good or bad way? 😂

[@dreamgirliful147]

Oh my gosh, I was not expecting to hear the Weeknd. I love The 1975. They have such a distinct sound and it's just beautiful how they can transform songs to make them sound like their own.

[@NicoleHernandezxx]

only the first few seconds into the performance and it already sounds like perfection

[@TheSim1derful]

I love love love The 1975's consistent and glorious sax use.

[@rory12349]

everyone loves some sax

[@DTH95x]

rory12349 What you did I SEE IT

[@TheSim1derful]

rory12349 Saxy.

[@thepowerofcheesecake]

Started hearing Wicked Games and I was not expecting it in a good way.

[@shadajaradat4397]

me too

[@alayshamarshall738]

Jesus. This is such a genreless group. They incorporate so many elements, from rock n roll to r&b to even bit of jazz as we see here. They're bringing back true sound. They're bringing back music.

[@ericsondaton8911]

The 1975 didn't just covered the song! They OWNED it!! Eargasmic!

[@RE14147]

radio 1 you should consider changing the into / outro noise it could kill OUR EARS i swear......

[@kellbell408]

they probably do that so people won't illegally download it.

[@RE14147]

whenever the noise starts i feel my ear drum being ripped am sure many others feel the same way, they can just change the noise.

[@sharronwilliams2729]

omg same!

[@alzuriawhatever]

Yes!!! I'm surprised I don't read comments like this more often.

[@MrPenguinluvr]

***** people stll do it lol

[@pinar4217]

i'm desperate for hearing more the weeknd songs from matty

[@Cheshir3]

I actually listen to this for a few months now. And for some reason I just listened to wicked games for the first time and it sounded so familiar so I searched half an hour for the Cover from which I was remembering it. Until it clicked in my head and I realized it was this video (hard to find when it is actually the cover of another song...) :D

[@frejagoldmanchristensen2765]

I would actually pass

[@kamiletruseviciute2665]

matty is driving me insane

[@alexolotl764]

daaaamn girl, mane irgi!!!!

[@AmeliaPond1994]

You have no idea how bad I feel for people who don't know about this band or dislike them. So much joy is missing from their lives. Oh well, keep doing your thing boys. I adore you all

[@anniew.3658]

I'M MINDBLOWN AT HOW ADORABLE MATTY IS RN OML

[@amberrain1292]

Favorite band singing one on my all time favorite songs. Holy shit

[@0615jlee]

I just audibly moaned in the middle of Starbucks when he transitioned to Wicked Games

[@ilykefrychickenguess]

Lol

[@user-cg6st6ws6j]

same tbh but i’m not in starbucks

[@JeremiahFernandez]

this is the most first world comment I've read all week

[@Mrsmustachio25]

saxophone dude has got it going on

[@lanahoward2209]

I find it hard to believe that matty is a self taught vocalist. His range and technique is seriously mind boggling. The vocals during their slowdown/Drive Like I Do/Big Sleep days are just a remarkable experience.

[@jiaonny122701]

Matty can make ANY song better.

[@coterohe]

The 1975*

[@jiaonny122701]

cotelactica mj . The whole band is gr8 but i was talking vocally.

[@spacecat785]

How did i fucking lived without this for 2 years ? It's two songs that i love covered by my favorite band

[@banjoyourhighness]

2024 and still listening to this version. Prefer this than the original

[@JesselAlejo]

The 1975 covering The Weeknd....everything I love.

[@tallulahrose4169]

the 1975 needs to do a full cover of wicked games ! 😩😩😩

[@MoXKellyMUFC]

exactly 2 years ago today this was posted. and im glad it was posted

[@blueeemom8338]

pure perfection . love this band. Seen them live nov. 4 and it was the greatest concert I've been too.

[@chloesmith9751]

I was at that concert too :)) the vibes where awesome i can't stop seeing it in my head

[@izzydavids5614]

Hey I was there as well!! It was an amazing concert.

[@blueeemom8338]

Niether can I @samantha ! The wait was insane but worth it . Yeah @izzy! The guys really put on a show to remember :)

[@izzydavids5614]

Jnene Gavin tell me about it. I waited outside for 14 hours. It was worth it though because I got front row and Matty's guitar pick. Ahhhh.

[@blueeemom8338]

I stood for 10hours! Deffintely seeing the guys again!

[@angellopes1416]

the way they all dance with their instruments is so hot

[@victoriamurrow98]

It's so intimate man. I love the ambience he puts in to the song like ugh so perfect !

[@KatiAThegirlonfire]

What's not to love about the 1975?

[@ImmaKittysaur93]

This song went from 0-100 real quick

[@MMM12376]

This is probably my favourite cover. Its just musically so different from the originally you wouldn't even know it was clean bandits song. They can turn any song into a masterpiece. Absolutely love it!

[@LittleMissRass]

The second he switched to Wicked Games, my heart just melted

[@laravx5508]

by far my face song right now, simply amazing

[@SkyTheDanosaur]

Oh my god. I need a full cover of Wicked Games like right now.

[@JCBtractor25]

love the saxophone, always have.

[@UnfamousSeries]

They finessed this. It sounds so gorgeous.

[@brandonobrien8595]

+Daija Graves MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM *TRIGGERED MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNMMM

[@lewismanners3118]

These guys should really release an album of covers.

[@vprox147]

I have literally listened to this version 2-3 times a day for the past 2 weeks .

[@squeekytoy123]

Can't believe I saw these guys at a local club for $20 bucks while I was in Uni. Their front man is so tiny it's definitely memorable when you see them preform. They were good! Had a very simple set design, like a lit up rectangular door on stage, it was really effective. This mix is smooth, but I can't believe over 4 million people have seen it-- so cool that they shot up. Good for them :).

[@abbyolivia]

Tiny 😂😂 I died

[@wws2813]

this will never get old

[@tealeweaves]

he looks so much better w this style and hair cut tbh

[@LB-tm1oj]

Yeah I like both I can't decide

[@garydodd1852]

disagree, the perm is life.

[@LB-tm1oj]

I thinks it's his natural hair if I'm not mistaken

[@asiasims7210]

I like his natural hair more. his curls are just so gorgeous

[@StellaNimas]

This is so sensual and sexier than fifty shades of grey 😌💕

[@beanowill]

Stella Nimas what

[@KyleWilliamsMusic1]

Matty's little move at 1:06. Hahaha these guys are legends

[@aryanne5012]

Matty dancing and vibing are giving me sooo much life!

[@highselinaaa]

This so amazing I'm so in love with it I listen to it daily and make my friends listen to it

[@Westbrooks]

NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT THIS HAPPY AND CLAM AT THE SAME DAMN TIME

[@saltyshimakei4155]

*This song is the epitome of sex...*

[@BebeBoi674]

Castiel Winchester Lol, I had the same thing in mind! Make out song added to collection!

[@Kitty-ml5pv]

i still fucking love this song it's been 2 years and i'm still bloody in love with it

[@laneylikewhoa]

So as someone who doesn't know the original, I really enjoyed this cover. I know people are always going to be comparing covers to originals, but if people enjoyed this version, isn't that the point?

[@ItsMariahDude]

Listening again because of 2:27-3:24 Bless The 1975 BLESS THE WEEKND

[@kirancheema257]

The 1975 cannot do wrong. this is so perfect. i love how they take a cover and completely change it and make it their own. They are so original and fresh i just love them. Matty's voice is just incredible ♥

[@adenad01]

Sooooooo. They just sexified this song like crazy... Geez that saxaphone makes me melt

[@LesReadsMore]

love that they approach every cover they do from their own direction! It's definitely interesting to hear someone mix it up a bit

[@havanamohr-ramirez9172]

I NEED HOLY WATER FOR THE THOUGHTS THAT ARE RUNNING THRU MY HEAD RN HALP ABJSKSSGFKDFULDFKV

[@rach0nt0ast]

The 1975's covers are always my favourite

[@khelsbaby]

And the there's John being frikin adorable with that didly darn saxophone

[@rafabep1]

I tought this song couldn't be more perfect, then these guys made this cover! Oh my, Jess Glynne (original singer) has to make a cameo in this! So amazing! Obsessed!

[@cheynarahamatali9817]

CRYING REAL TEARS BC MATTY IN A HOODIE

[@m4rieeeee]

Matty isn't wearing a hoodie?

[@umfortunate]

Marie Battenhouse he is in the beginning (during the introduction)

[@m4rieeeee]

graceannebutera omg you're so right he's an angel

[@izzypaynee]

at the start i was like holy shit hes so short

[@joanacosta5275]

+izzy ye that´s the problem he is not short

[@mikadiane5642]

well he's talented, i think it's not a huge prob 😉

[@izzypaynee]

im not insulting i just didn't think he was that short

[@joanacosta5275]

***** I don't think that 5'8 it's short

[@izzypaynee]

5'8 isnt extemely short but it is short

[@jxsling]

[@samariasylvester]

They turned this into an epic Slow Jam

[@gabriela-gm8jv]

This cover and Dan singing Rather Be are my favorite ones.

[@sonicroll3000]

I saw their name pop up and I was like oh hell yeah !

[@sashawilliams5726]

The fact i met the boys last night and all day i have had them on repeat trying to get over it but i seriously cant

[@GiulsFoolWhiteRabbit]

true love. i just don't know how to explain my love for this band. I love matty's voice. it's so deep and it has so many "shades". I love their style that is pretty unique. Also when they do a cover they literally transform the song and make it in theirs own style. I've never fell in love into a band before and now they're kind of an obsession for me. They're so talented and i hope for them the best! Just go ahead like this the 1975 :) Can't way to see you live and to listen new songs!

[@TheSim1derful]

They're seriously the best thing that's happened to indie rock/pop music in SO LONG

[@DanTerryLummox]

Watched this a year ago for the first time. Loved it then and still love it now. Love the mix with wicked games. Just awesome

[@shadajaradat4397]

omg this is crazy I was just listening to the same song they covered by the weeknd at 2:38 😱😱😱 and he's definitely my favorite artist while they are my favorite band.my face is stuck on that shocked expression.

[@paufckng]

the 1975 should do a cover of The nbhd really, i think it would sound mind blowing
