"So Far (It's Alright)" from The 1975's self-titled debut album. Available to buy now: po.st/The1975DeluxeiTunes Follow The 1975 on Spotify: po.st/The1975Spotify
I TRICKED MY PARENTS INTO THINKING THIS IS A GOOd CHRISTMAS SONG, every Christmas I can put this song very loud in the house, they only speak Spanish so they don't understand the lyrics
When I listen to the 1975 I hear love, drugs, sex, heartbreak, and truth. And yes alot of mainstream artists can sing about the same things, but the 1975 does it in such a beautiful way. Most artists can sing about these things without any emotion. The 1975 does it with such great emotions, even when they perform it live i can see and hear powerful emotions. The 1975 is one of the best bands i've ever listened to. Because life isn't about all these things we nowadays hear in music. Life is much more complicated and painful than that. Lets just say life fucks us all and thats the real truth.
to me this song sounds like everyone talking to matty and always demanding something of him. friends, family, girlfriends or whoever, lyrics like "how can you complain about life and talk about being bored?" or "you think youre well cool, you just write about sex and killing yourself and how you hardly ever went to school" sound like his friends being exhausted and sick of him being like this. to me, the lyric "howre you getting on with your life?" sounds like it could be asked by a therapist. everyone is demanding something from matty and his only response is "yeah its alright" because hes sick of everyone being on his back
I love the 1975, not because I'm a teenager trying too hard to be alternative, but because I'm so entranced by their lyrics. The way that they sing them almost romanticises the vice of life like drugs violence and sex, but does not glamourise it like eg. 80% of the mainstream music industry. The contrasts are so beautiful, presenting that life can be imperfect and broken, yet elegant and aesthetic, a chaotic beauty, a thorny rose.
+jacob wolf lyca naj This made me tear up. I never found a better description. I read your comment and had a sudden realization of why I love this band so much.
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright. Yeah it's the way we are We were smoking by 11 and knocking round town Beat em' ups on my arm We were never good at selling Couldn't cut down And I stay with my father, while his friends die of heart attacks He's got a heart made of stone but he never gets cold because the sun's always on his back I used to think you're cool and I believed you had a wonderful vision, But I soon found out you're a terrible friend and your mother's on the television Gives a go on your bike, how you getting along with your life It's alright, yeah it's alright Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Oh well I'm coming to the end of 23 she said, is that alright? And it's coming to the end of you and me she said, is that alright? And how can you complain about life and talk about being bored If you just sit at Pete's house playing video games, doing sniff that you can't afford? I can't be picking up in the town So get me one off Adam if he's sorting you out I don't really get what all your friends are about, I was always looking for a way to get out, A true reflection of the size of your house, a silver spoon and zoot in your mouth But you're alright, yeah it's alright Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright. So here we are, it's quarter to 11 We're knocking round town Pushing in, in the bar, you can cry until 11, it's a quarter of an hour And why stay if you hate it so much? You think you're well cool, You just write about sex and killing yourself and how you hardly ever Went to school Don't you wanna take me up in the clouds, Pretend that I'm the one and you can show me about, She was talking marriage so we had to get out, Now he's making up for it by sleeping about The ultimatum's a ridiculous joke I'm gonna pick the option that allows me to smoke But I'm alright, yeah it's alright Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
every time i hear this song i have this image of matty healy standing in front of the mirror and talking to his reflection and this vision is one of the reasons i love this song so much
savakid kinda late but... adam’s girlfriend was thinking about marriage, and he would have to settle down but he doesn’t want it, so he’s gonna to pick the option that allows him to smoke (a symbol for freedom) or maybe she just made him choose between her and drugs, and he chose drugs
@Amber Davison aw thank you, i’m going through absolute heartbreak and have been for about a year. the pain never gets better but some songs help it numb aha
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby Yeah so far, it's alright, alright.

" How can you complain about life and talk about being bored? / If you just sit at Pete's house playing video games, doing sniff that you can't afford " #relate
this song i think is my favorite by them today. the sound is so melodic and relaxing, yet the lyrics contain a deeper meaning, like most The 1975 songs. i feel like some of their music has such a simple idea - whether it be small town fun or heart break - but it takes them in the form of human perspective, which is a lot more complicated than the idea itself. that's what i like so much about The 1975. the way they introduce themselves in each song lyrically and instrumentally kind of makes you want to fall in love with their music. it's very aesthetically pleasing.
I thought the line, "But I soon found out you're a terrible friend and your mother's on the television" said "But I soon found out you were telling everything that you noticed on the television" LOL FUCK.
I fucking love this one. It's so different, so happy yet still has that slightly depressing sound about it. And don't even get me started on the lyrical genius. This song is literally my life all the time.
something i really love about the composition of this song is the high piano(? i think) specifically towards the end. it makes kind of a dark song feel more cheerful and i really appreciate that
So sad all these songs about "being that boy/couple) relates to my life, the only difference is that we had a baby and I had to leave. Our baby didn't deserve her parents to have a terrible relationship... She is okay and I am happier now, just her and I. He can have his smoke and his milk. I have my life.
do we really have to start the whole "I liked them first" argument? why does it matter if people found out about them through tumblr? just let people enjoy the music
IV in North America has a totally different tracklist. IV for NA contains The City, Sex, Chocolate, Me, You, and Milk as a hidden track. It's good, but I want all of these EP's seperate, as I already bought the album. You goddamn brits have it easy sometimes, y'know.
So Far (It’s alright) : “Giz a go on your bike” “It’s the reflection of the size of your house” “A silver spoon and a zoot in your mouth” fallingforyou : “All we need’s my bike and your enormous house” Same girl??? 🤔
can't wait to when I listen to this and everything is alright cause right now tears are streaming down my face and I have a stupid smile on only because I love this song so much and it makes me feel a little glimpse of happiness
I TRICKED MY PARENTS INTO THINKING THIS IS A GOOd CHRISTMAS SONG, every Christmas I can put this song very loud in the house, they only speak Spanish so they don't understand the lyrics
you are a genius
You're a hero.
bless you
+Cai Kohler off topic, but...ADORE 😍
marry me
*the first notes play* BOOM INSTANT SMILE
AGREED
this is my 1st time hearing this song and YEAH
same
nice pfp :)
my feel good song
When I listen to the 1975 I hear love, drugs, sex, heartbreak, and truth. And yes alot of mainstream artists can sing about the same things, but the 1975 does it in such a beautiful way. Most artists can sing about these things without any emotion. The 1975 does it with such great emotions, even when they perform it live i can see and hear powerful emotions. The 1975 is one of the best bands i've ever listened to. Because life isn't about all these things we nowadays hear in music. Life is much more complicated and painful than that. Lets just say life fucks us all and thats the real truth.
So true
The timeless themes of literature and music.
Cynthia Hill You would like the Smiths, Johnny Marr worlds greatest sidekick.
Cynthia Hill I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THE 1975 AS WELL..MATTY'S VOICE TURNS ME ON 24/7
I love this comment so much
to me this song sounds like everyone talking to matty and always demanding something of him. friends, family, girlfriends or whoever, lyrics like "how can you complain about life and talk about being bored?" or "you think youre well cool, you just write about sex and killing yourself and how you hardly ever went to school" sound like his friends being exhausted and sick of him being like this. to me, the lyric "howre you getting on with your life?" sounds like it could be asked by a therapist. everyone is demanding something from matty and his only response is "yeah its alright" because hes sick of everyone being on his back
Shit, you're probably right. I honestly never really thought about what the lyrics meant.
Well then, I relate to Matty. People can be so demanding.
I love the 1975, not because I'm a teenager trying too hard to be alternative, but because I'm so entranced by their lyrics. The way that they sing them almost romanticises the vice of life like drugs violence and sex, but does not glamourise it like eg. 80% of the mainstream music industry.

Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright.
Yeah it's the way we are
We were smoking by 11 and knocking round town
Beat em' ups on my arm
We were never good at selling
Couldn't cut down
And I stay with my father, while his friends die of heart attacks
He's got a heart made of stone but he never gets cold because the sun's always on his back
I used to think you're cool and I believed you had a wonderful vision,
But I soon found out you're a terrible friend and your mother's on the television
Gives a go on your bike, how you getting along with your life
It's alright, yeah it's alright
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Oh well I'm coming to the end of 23 she said, is that alright?
And it's coming to the end of you and me she said, is that alright?
And how can you complain about life and talk about being bored
If you just sit at Pete's house playing video games, doing sniff that you can't afford?
I can't be picking up in the town
So get me one off Adam if he's sorting you out
I don't really get what all your friends are about,
I was always looking for a way to get out,
A true reflection of the size of your house, a silver spoon and zoot in your mouth
But you're alright, yeah it's alright
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright.
So here we are, it's quarter to 11
We're knocking round town
Pushing in, in the bar, you can cry until 11, it's a quarter of an hour
And why stay if you hate it so much?
You think you're well cool,
You just write about sex and killing yourself and how you hardly ever
Went to school
Don't you wanna take me up in the clouds,
Pretend that I'm the one and you can show me about,
She was talking marriage so we had to get out,
Now he's making up for it by sleeping about
The ultimatum's a ridiculous joke
I'm gonna pick the option that allows me to smoke
But I'm alright, yeah it's alright
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
thank you

i don’t understand that part,can you explain me?
savakid kinda late but... adam’s girlfriend was thinking about marriage, and he would have to settle down
but he doesn’t want it, so he’s gonna to pick the option that allows him to smoke (a symbol for freedom)
or maybe she just made him choose between her and drugs, and he chose drugs
This reminds me of when everything wasn't alright, and a few years later
everything's alright
you are my inspiration,, literally.

You hang out with Pete too??
I'm so addicted to this song you don't understand
Me to! 🙊
This song is so underrated I don’t understand
i love how Matty says ridiculous and the lyrics are so great
this song i think is my favorite by them today. the sound is so melodic and relaxing, yet the lyrics contain a deeper meaning, like most The 1975 songs. i feel like some of their music has such a simple idea - whether it be small town fun or heart break - but it takes them in the form of human perspective, which is a lot more complicated than the idea itself. that's what i like so much about The 1975. the way they introduce themselves in each song lyrically and instrumentally kind of makes you want to fall in love with their music. it's very aesthetically pleasing.
This relaxes me so much I remember hearing this live I was like woaaaaah! I felt like I'm in heaven lol
Same! This is so damn good live. The visuals were fantastic as well.
same!!!!!!! :)
my love for this song is infinite
with only 2.8 million views, this is EASILY the most under-rated 1975 song. fucking love this song
how can you just fucking not adore the 1975?
tru
(1968) Laura Nyro - Once It Was Alright

Rip j dilla ❤💜
i feel like i'm high and i'm in love with the feeling.

Been a fan of the 1975 since 2013 but I'm somehow, just now discovering all the ep's and whatnot. This is...amazing.
This song should be acknowledged more than just "Girls" or "Chocolate".
i agree.
“you said your mother only smiles on her tv show.”

its a lyrics from a Halsey's song called colors that she wrote about maty @@andrewbertonesi
THE BASS LINE
It's nothing special really.. Just the same 3 notes pattern on loop. It's alright.

All I can think of is me in a raincoat stomping on puddles on a gloomy day while listening to this song.
made sure the 1975 would be the first band i listened to in 2016
Having sex at night in the backseat of a car while this is playing in the background is a memory I will always cherish lmao
Saw these guys at First Avenue in Minneapolis (12/10/15) and they did this song and it was fucking amazing.
damn i wish i was there!! live right by minneapolis:///
I love this and it should be more acknowledged
YES
Glad some people agree
+Joe Cater I still dont get how this hasnt become a huge hit .. this is perfection tbh
+sirada praderm ikr
Three years and two albums later and I’m still in love with these songs. I’ll probably always come back to this album.
anyone think this kind of has a christmas-y vibe?
+blegghhh YES I agree lol
it's probably the piano hah
+blegghhh I thought the same thing when I first listened to it haha.
I know right!? I played this on repeat on new years !!! And watched the fireworks while playing this in my car
The Christmas chiming in the bg
I love how calming the 1975 are but the lyrics are something else altogether, the band is perfectly imperfect
I thought the line, "But I soon found out you're a terrible friend and your mother's on the television" said "But I soon found out you were telling everything that you noticed on the television" LOL FUCK.
These lads is world class.
the intro is a cute godly piece of work
This song is great to trick your family that's it's a Christmas song to blast it loud in the house
One of my fave songs at the moment! They're so talented (:
0:24 Surprised by how deep Matty's voice is here xD Had to check if I was still at the The 1975 playlist. HAHAHA
I'm not always in a good place, but this song helps.
"And it's coming to the end of you and me she said, is that alright? That part always gets me
They are doing some free shows in the Philippines next month. I am so excited!!! ♥
Brings me right back to fall of 2014.
I fucking love this one. It's so different, so happy yet still has that slightly depressing sound about it. And don't even get me started on the lyrical genius. This song is literally my life all the time.
I remember listening to this song the first day it came out and here I am still listening to it 3 years later.
something i really love about the composition of this song is the high piano(? i think) specifically towards the end. it makes kind of a dark song feel more cheerful and i really appreciate that
amanda newell They took the piano line and the the"alright" refrain from Laura Nyro's "Once it was alright now (Farmer Joe)".
I wish they played this song more often. it's so good and gives me a serotonin boost
so cool that they sampled J Dilla's "All Right" in this, old school hip hop song.... look it up!!!
ahh i want to see them live so bad!
Why does this remind me of childhood.
One of the best fucking bands living! So far, Its alright? You're more than alright my friends... Damn near perfect.
I JUST WANT TO CRY WHEN I LISTEN THE 1975
I FEEL SO STRANGE FEELING AND OMG I'D LIKE TO HEAR HIS VOICE ALL DAY&NIGHT
So sad all these songs about "being that boy/couple) relates to my life, the only difference is that we had a baby and I had to leave. Our baby didn't deserve her parents to have a terrible relationship... She is okay and I am happier now, just her and I. He can have his smoke and his milk. I have my life.
This song is so refresh, I love listen to it!
Ai que saudades de você, seu Matthew.
Q sdds de vc sua Cherry
Apareça mais vezes para matarmos as saudades, viu? Um beijo.

not exactly "underrated"...just underappreciated
Seeing them in May, it'll probably be the best day of my year

Playing This every December its like Christmas Song!
'Well its coming to the end of you and me she said is that alright ?' This line will haunt me and pull on my heart strings forever...
first the 1975 song i ever heard, never gets old
WHEN ITS COMING TO THE END OF YOU AND ME she said is that alright
+shivani .T actually the line is ""and, it's coming to the end of you and me," she said, "Is that alright?""
+TheWeeklyMe oh okay well that's embarrassing
+shivani .T LMAO GET IT RIGHT CHIVANI
WHAT THE HECK? I CAN'T FIND ANY SONGS OF THE 1975 THAT DOESN'T FIT MY TASTE. I LOVE ALL OF IT! I'm becoming a fan omg! 😍😍😍
Love these types of music , I appreciate you 1975..we all do ♥️
"it's alright, that's alright" 😭😭😭 so much comfort i can hear matty's voice singing to my soul

+søphia |-/ or 'Undo'
Danielle Malik 'You' is great thx :)
This song reminds me of Christmas because of the beat, love it so much thought
This band is my religion
One of my favorites
"I believed you had a wonderful vision," towards the end of the line he sounds like Bowie. Amazing song.
This song is so nostalgic
I LOVE this song I'm always in a better mood after listening to this.
I remember when I was the only one in my school who knew about this band... fuck tumblr
I feel you I hate tag alongs so much.....so much!
do we really have to start the whole "I liked them first" argument? why does it matter if people found out about them through tumblr? just let people enjoy the music
chelsea mavin
It's not an argument, it's barely even a rant. And it matters because it irritates me
aattitude ITS A FUCKING COMMENT OF MY OPINION
edit: oops didn't mean all caps
On the UA-cam comments section grounds for thoughts and opinions and COMMENTS
one of my favs by them. under appreciated lyrics.
beautiful
I saw them in Austin last night!! sooo amazing!!!!!!
I finally found this song... after a whole fucking year 😆😄😄😄🎉🎉🎉
IV in North America has a totally different tracklist. IV for NA contains The City, Sex, Chocolate, Me, You, and Milk as a hidden track. It's good, but I want all of these EP's seperate, as I already bought the album. You goddamn brits have it easy sometimes, y'know.
I agree! It's not fair we cannot get the EP's in the States.....
errmm Americans get s'mores pop tarts... I'm all up for moving to the states just for that
Misty Emde The 1975 just released a deluxe album where it has all of their songs from the album and past ep's.
Thank you, I picked it up the day it was released! I have now purchased the album 4 times! LOL
Misty Emde No problem! Oh wow, haha
I love this track. You guys are amazing!
So Far (It’s alright) :
“Giz a go on your bike”
“It’s the reflection of the size of your house”
“A silver spoon and a zoot in your mouth”
fallingforyou :
“All we need’s my bike and your enormous house”
Same girl??? 🤔
This speaks to my soul. I love this band.
The dream is to hear this live 😍
I love this song !!!
Saw this song live last night. So much emotion I loved it.
This calms me down 😌
