The 1975 - She Lays Down [Live In The Lounge]

[@nourhanebnzw7215]

"the chemicals that make her laugh don't seem to be working anymore" this broke my heart every time..

[@davidanthony1965]

Nourhane Bnzw what does it actually mean I was interested?

[@josieholloway1057]

Nourhane Bnzw his mum was addicted to cocaine throughout his childhood

[@cloboella_]

According to a video I saw where his mum was interviewed about the song, her pregnancy with Matty caused an influx of hormones that caused post-natal and subsequently life-long bouts of depression. This song is about how she struggled and tried to deal with her depression throughout his early childhood, by doing things such as using cocaine.

[@isabiiix]

To me, chemicals = antidepressant, cocaine is just "in the end", when antidepressant no longer works.

[@cobraking7146]

The bar is “the chemicals that make her love don’t seem to be working anymore”

[@marzsapinoso9396]

the fact that he wrote this song for his mother who suffered from depression that made her a less of a mother to matty and incapable of giving matty the love he deserves even if she wanted to just breaks my heart 😭

[@harveyplett2209]

like the fact that not only does she suffer from not being able to love him that well hurts not just her, but also him as a person... is painful.. and makes watching this performance kind of in amazement that Matty can handle all of it 😭

[@kierra1672]

Let me tell you how hard this song hits when you have postpartum depression. Having a baby who was born 11 weeks early and had to spend 2 months in the NICU makes it so hard to bond with your baby.

[@joanneburgess4775]

It is a lovely song and tells how the mother and son should feel love

[@claupchco]

this is full of emotions. He is such a strong man

[@aubree_langston]

i think when he says "she prayed that we'd fall from the sky simply to alleviate the pain" hits me the hardest it's such a real lyric not that this whole song isn't so real and full of emotions this song really hits close to home

[@rhonamitchell975]

This is the most accurate description of depression and it absolutely breaks my heart

[@LilaMVajgl]

there will never be a time where I wont bail my eyes out because of this song

[@piggyninjagamer]

why are your eyes in jail?

[@ittshannah]

dad joke: 10/10

[@bep1ontherainbow]

This is so sad... I usually never listen to she lays down because it makes me so emotional but I just watched this and I feel so empty now

[@excellentbecca2939]

Im not crying I just have something in my eye. I swear

[@romalovesmac]

its just onions right

[@vinylprincess7243]

But in a cool way

[@user-ke4hi2el5k]

"Harryyyyyyyy"

[@pumpkinpie1435]

Don't cry, craft

[@taylor-jh9iy]

Lyrics And she lays down on her bedroom floor The chemicals that make her laugh Don't seem to be working anymore She tries her best, but it hurts her chest And even though her sun is gone She lights like a child nevertheless My hair is brown, she's scared to touch And she just wants to feel something And I don't think that's asking for too much And when I go to sleep it's when she begins to weep She's appalled by not loving me at all She wears a frown and dressing gown When she lays down Well we got a plane, going to see my dad again She prayed that we fell from the sky Simply to immediate the pain Over the water, hmm Over terrain The engines all go bust, we turned to dust And I've no reason to complain, yeah And in the end, she chose cocaine But it couldn't fix her brain She's appalled oh she doesn't love me at all She wears a frown and dressing gown When she lays down That was it.

[@rolandburns4439]

taylor l alleviate*

[@ohthelovelypoems]

Instead of "immediate the pain" the lyric is: alleviate the pain.

[@jairvazquez8502]

Fuck

[@elliesmeeee]

thats true its alleviate

[@mya6780]

This song makes me cry like a baby when i hear the first note i swear

[@hannerz777]

every kid who experienced some form of emotional neglect due to parental mental health issues gets this song immediately. such a favorite. ❤❤❤

[@soggybun21]

2:33 I'm not crying, you are.

[@megan21268]

Grace D. no I'm not I just have something in my eye

[@CarryMe001]

This is beautiful. Reminds me of when he would perform Woman on his own with, I think, that same guitar.

[@CarryMe001]

I guess it is a different guitar. But still the performance makes me think of the one of Woman he did at that tiny desk concert thing.

[@yasmeenali7899]

I’ve watched almost every live version of this song,, when he’s done he looks sad even though the crowd is clapping and stuff, I think it’s still hard for him to share those overwhelming memories even though he probably performed that song thousand times

[@sandiemontgomerie676]

I don’t know how your mother can take this immensely meaningful song. You are a genius and incredible song writer. But I do know Denise loves you above all. And she is strong

[@DaughtersofLilith]

This is like a letter from every child of a bipolar mother. So beautiful that he is able to articulate his love for her even through her struggles. Denise Welch is a very lucky woman.

[@BeingBetter]

I'm a bipolar mother, and I worry so much what I'm doing to my children.

[@aoifeisasocialdisappointme7210]

This reminds me of my mam. I have these really vivid memories of me sitting next to her laying down on the floor after she left my dad, black out drunk and leaving me alone. I love and hate her for those memories. Shit.

[@evakrauze694]

I'm so sorry dear. I hope you're fine now! ❤

[@wigster25]

This song is amazing, the emotion in it is something else and the performance just moulds the whole thing together. It's enough to make a 38 year old man brim with tears.

[@sammygee87]

Matty, you absolutely hero. This is so stunning and also stunningly educational for those that have no concept of what depression can do to people. Thank you x

[@Lexi-hx1mf]

i don’t know why I thought listening to this intimate live performance would be alright when i can barely even listen to the studio version without getting crazy emotional, so here i am nearly in tears when i should be asleep

[@kokogoh]

Wow. It's been a year since I first heard this song, and I've never successfully listened to it without crying. Amazing.

[@GillianOsborne]

Matty Healy vacilates between performance art and authenticity - I'm here for all of it! This song is so authentic and heartfelt. I love everything about this band!

[@heatherkennedy6078]

Just found this song and although I'm older now Matthew put into words my childhood living with a mother suffering from depression. I wrote a poem called The Dark Room. It makes such an impact on children. Beautifully expressed by this amazingly talented young man. Thank you Matthew

[@tanishal6606]

I always skip this song not because it's not beautiful, but it just makes me too emotional I can't listen to it.

[@yazzjustheretocomment]

God, same here. 'Is there sombody', 'nana', and this one. I just can't.

[@lluminascent]

Matty Healy, The 1975 and their music are the reason I have such unattainable standards for a life companion. #foreversingle :/

[@catherinefitzpatrick3870]

This describes Matty's mum Denise Welch when she had depression . my mum shown the article in the mirror newspaper so I had to check it out . Your son will go far Denise and Tim this song comes from the 2016 album ' I like it when you sleep' . Good Luck at The Brits Matt.

[@xxoxoxx4718]

ang hirap maging brokenhearted tapos ganto pa mapapakinggan ko huhu ayoko na i want to cry my heart out

[@bantenboys9059]

How can human make perfect lyrics like this. I feel so cool everytime I quote his lyrics and claim them wkwkwkw

[@devonalyse4068]

This song is one of a small group that make me tear up

[@thaakiraharendse9689]

this song gives me goosebumps every single time

[@JoaoPedroPorto1]

she tries her best, but it hurts her chest :(

[@SaintsUnited]

My mam was a drug addict, she done a lot of stuff especially cocaine. she also had bipolar which caused her to have psychological problems, my dad hated her, she couldn't control her drug addiction because her mind was messed up and she tried to show that she loved me all of the time, but it made things worse then I was took to my dad's (which is about 200 mile away). this song hits me really hard....

[@notyourmorrite]

i'm sorry for your mother's addiction, hope everything's going better than before

[@8899lpslover]

this song never fails to make me cry and only their songs can do that I fuckin love them sm

[@edward-byanyothername]

this song describes my childhood really well and it fucking hurts 😂

[@blazehaze233]

[@randomvideos2876]

[@nowt5531]

i hate the fact that i cry everytime i listen to this or nana. and usually, that happens when i'm in a public vehicle.

[@miggyfernandez4046]

Matty looks like a lazy college student who didnt have time to fix himself for class cuz he was late, went to class still sleepy. XD

[@katelizzie8381]

I listened to this song for so long going up and down the M4 dreading my mums death it is torturously spot on, I am bereft you see - goodbye mum.

[@martinataylor7702]

[@gianfrancogentili8437]

It's very hard to listen to this song when you had the same experience. It's simply breaks you down.

[@TheHollandSubs_]

OMG I NEVER BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPOEN

[@Amanda-lw6tw]

I wish I was English so I wouldn't have to try so hard to understand sometimes

[@odiecd1348]

Believe me even the English struggle a bit with Matty sometimes, he does love to mumble a bit :D

[@helenryderoneill7741]

I'm Irish and i understand because i mumble just as much

[@Amanda-lw6tw]

good to know im not alone :)

[@pennylane9233]

same, having to go through the comment section of a song to understand what it is about sucks

[@pamelaknight6903]

Post natal depression is real.if all mums who suffer from it could get rid of ot we would. Hope our children understand and forgive

[@vladimirmikes5785]

Gives me a Jake Bugg vibe

[@GTAfocus-gl7nm]

Ayaal Novgorodov I mean this is folk, James bugg could quite possibly be a folk musician because no one knows who he is. His name is jake bugg you tit and it's country that jake bugg plays so stop trying to be cleaver

[@GTAfocus-gl7nm]

Ayaal Novgorodov nah what I meant was jake bugg is more country than folk I have listened to him for years. Your sentence should have been ' you don't know anything about music genres' instead of you don't know nothing you silly boy

[@magnetic0314]

GTAfocus 2002 jake bugg is folk as fuck.

[@leslie6757]

EXCUSE ME?!

[@liloa3222]

[@Joel-io5pk]

Look at the tabs instead

[@trumantae]

so sad...

[@rebeca-bn9ku]

i think thats the saddest song i ever heard

[@1975coucou]

this is the saddest song made.

[@pennylane9233]

this song is not about drug addicts people, it's about his mum who had cancer

[@mattbrennan2625]

lydia iliop his mum had heavy postnatal depression

[@CreepyPepper]

It's about his mom who had depression and did cocaine to alleviate her pain.
