The 1975 - When We Are Together

[@jackrowlands4590]

Feels like one of those songs you listen to in the car when you're returning to the place where you were born after moving away. It brings comfort, cosiness, almost like a warm hug on a cold day. My favourite song from the album, a masterpiece.

The “cows wearing my sweater” line has no right to be hitting me as hard as it is

It's 'cows, wearing my sweater', meaning she asked about the cows WHILE wearing his sweater - not cows wearing sweaters. Smh.

This is a brilliant song and the album proves again how the 1975 is the best band of the last decade. Matt is truly a genius.

[@Snowsurgeon]

I feel so lucky to live in the same era as the birth of this album, and glad that I discovered this blessed band. ❤️

[@aaronwinch1381]

I really like how they are incorporating the strings more. It seems to give it a more classic/sincere vibe.

[@AndrewKierszenbaum]

jack antonoff influence imo!

[@BatmanHQYT]

​@@AndrewKierszenbaumDefinitely, Part of the Band sounds a lot like 91 by Bleachers. George said it was Jack's idea to add the cellos, the original song was more jangly 80s pop.

[@_-luke-_]

i love how earnest yet complete the mix of production and lyrics is. just such a brilliant album, instant classic.

Us '1975 fans are being fed well with all this new music

[@keiraroberts2113]

I initially thought that this song and About You should be swapped around just because of the way About You sounds. Then I realised that if About You is the sad nostalgia and reminiscing of a past love, When We Are Together is the person that pulls you out of the depression hole you fall into and does mundane, random shit with you to help you feel present again, helping you to look to your future and not your past.

Beautiful interpretation. Though I heard this too is a breakup song. It's about all the things he misses about his partner. I don't know when it was written, but it was recorded after his breakup.

[@cruel11140]

Our first kiss was Christmas in the Walmart toy department She said, "I should take you with me when I leave" When we were searchin' New York for a fancy, new apartment She said, "Central Park is Sea World for trees" You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater It's somethin' 'bout the weather that makes them lie down The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together I like socks with sandals, she's more into scented candles Oh, I'll never get that smell out of my bag And it was poorly handled, the day we both got canceled Because I'm a racist and you're some kind of slag You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater It's somethin' 'bout the weather that makes them lie down The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together, oh, together "I'm better at writing" was just a way to get you biting, oh The truth is that our egos are absurd I thought we were fighting but it seems I was gaslighting you I didn't know that it had its own word You still ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater Said it's something 'bout the weather that makes them lie down The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together

[@omarpascual5819]

I listened this song in patagonia, with a broken hearts. was a wonderful. I love this album.

Feels like sitting alone on a bench contemplating life both ups and downs

[@dedvukaj11]

This and making the band are my favorite song such a great album

[@Dunbie_]

This song is so amazing. It reminds me of my past relationship. She was super fun, full of energy, smart, witty, funny, knew how to love me, got me out of my comfort zone, and so so pretty… at the same time if she was having a bad day she would take it out on me, fights would get toxic, sometimes bring me down about things and make me walk on eggshells if I wanted to get something off my chest so I would compromise to stop the conflict, sometimes manipulative and would test me too. It sucks because there was the highest of highs and lowest of lows. But I can’t help but think of the little things like my own version of “asking about the cows, wearing my sweater” and the warm feeling I’d get by being with her. I know that I’m only holding onto the thought of the good times and keeping those in my mind, but I know that’s only the perception of what I have of her - when in reality that’s not the case, she wasn’t sincerely good to me when it came down to it. On my birthday she posted on her story with another guy at a dinner who she’s now dating instead, which was only weeks after we ended things. And still despite all this, sometimes I can’t help finding myself thinking about how I’d feel better if she just came over, didn’t say a word, and we just cuddled on the couch.

[@danab5473]

i think that’s my first time sobbing right after i hear the first line.. the whole song is quite literally a masterpiece. and ever since i discovered the 1975 in oh my god 2015 tumblr era, i’ve been evolving sorta with them, but this…. i don’t even want to think about other upcoming albums, this one is the most sincere thing i’ve heard in ages. thank you, bravo!

[@captainmappy3959]

I saw them in concert a few months back in November. At that point in time, I hadn’t gotten around to listening through BFIAFL. When they played When We Are Together, it hit me like a freight train and I was choking back tears in the crowd.

[@cindychavarria2450]

Not even the most beautiful words created in this world could do justice to what this band means to me. THE 1975 ladies and gentlemen

[@jackietone2735]

They should get back together. They were made for each other❤️❤️❤️

[@mrKai33]

[@BatmanHQYT]

This song is so simple yet so charming. The acoustic folk sound suits them surprisingly well. Sounds like Plus-era Ed Sheeran in the best way.

[@leymonmusic]

This will be on repeat for sure...

[@johnmenard6150]

Has anyone noticed that if you listen to the instrumental end part of this song, you'll hear the intro of their first song? (if you play the whole album in a loop)

[@katarinayon]

Finding The 1975 in 2020 was possibly the best thing that happened to me that year. It enlightened my music taste, causing me to find artists like West Life.

I can imagine this sound to be in an indie film where the character moves out of their hometown to go to a big city to start anew, driving away from their home. At the end there's a few seconds of instrumental where flashbacks of memories start kicking in. This song feels very nostalgic.

[@taylerparsons7145]

This song changed so much for me. I don't say that a lot. Truth is I'm tired of being a victim to a toxic relationship from my young adult years. The real truth is our egos were absurd. Time to move on from the trauma for good.

[@nisharoka]

Oh tell me about it… bruises all over my body everyday… i was so fuckn stupid Glad I broke up like 4years ago. Yet the trauma is always there. Hope you heal too ❤

このアルバム、辛い時はこの曲が一番しみる、大好き

[@JustlikeYou133]

I feel like at that time Matty was looking for love, support and fulfillment outside of himself. He made that girl his rock but the truth is that he is his own rock and all that he was trying to find and catch is in himself. I love the honesty in the lyrics and the melody suits it really well. Also the whole vibe of the Song feels like its snowing outside and like its christmas time - „the moment was really catched” and transformed really nice with a purity of itself. Sending Lots of love to the guys and wishing you a lot of selflove from heart 💕

I heard the lyric "central park is seaworld for trees" as an Australian who's never been to NY, but like anyone anywhere on earth, has seen plenty of movies and shows based in NY. After hearing this lyric for the first time yesterday, a show I was watching featured an aerial shot of Central Park and I had to gape in amazement at how much that lyric resonates and rings true for me. Matty is a lyrical & songwriting genius.

Artesian apartment with osmosis process in the water system. osmosis, the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane (one that blocks the passage of dissolved substances-i.e., solutes). The process, important in biology, was first thoroughly studied in 1877 by a German plant physiologist, Wilhelm Pfeffer. Earlier workers had made less accurate studies of leaky membranes (e.g., animal bladders) and the passage through them in opposite directions of water and escaping substances. The general term osmose (now osmosis) was introduced in 1854 by a British chemist, Thomas Graham.
