Can We please get a give yourself a try one or it’s not living ( if it’s not with you ) , ty xx 💕 🔲
I really want one that explains I couldn’t be more in love
Just Nicø yeah that would be good
Bring The Japanese House here
Genius it’s matty if we’re gonna do this properly
He's not lying when he says that the whole wanting to die has become a meme tbh.
yeah. it is a meme now. you see it everywhere. Everyone wants to die, people say it so casually which i think is wrong. If you like your life and are generally happy, don't say "i want to die" just to be relatable and because so many others are doing it. I feel like this whole depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts etc. thing has become so mainstream, people dont take it very seriously anymore because everyone says it and just casually mentions it like it's nothing. It's so sad. Everytime i hear someone say it or read it somwhere i think 'well do they really want to die or is this just a joke?' who fucking knows because everyone always says it
@@Alyssa18633 And that's why people who actually have mental health problems need to see a professional.. Writing that you're suicidal on the Internet does nothing.
True. That's very unhealthy in my opinion tho. it will sound cheesy but really mindset matters. If someone doesn't have serious mental health problems then there isn't a valid excuse to say this they are just trying to be edgy and relatable. What they don't realise that if you say it so casually you will get used to it. I overheard conversations which went like "I wanna die. Don't we all?" I understand that this is a copying mechanism for a some but nowadays they are just overusing it. So pls stop encouraging negativity. (Btw sorry fo ranting but this topic really gets me confused everytime)
What's scary, though, is that because it's used so often you might just cross paths with someone who genuinely feels that way but because everyone treats it like a joke, it could have a negative effect on the individual.
However, as others have pointed out, if they genuinely feel that way it's best they seek professional help.
@@Amanda-dg9zj i have been arguing this on fb since the depression things started xD
I love the boring tone he uses when he's reading the lyrics, then how excited he gets when he's explaining the meaning behind it.
Gabby DeLorean I noticed that too and I love it
hahaha I love that too!
it’s like he’s trying to recall the lyrics and what they mean and then he’s like oh yeahhh GET A LOAD OF THIS BULLSHIT i love him
yes i feel like it really emphasizes the meaning
Matty is really out here right now!
KING
Made a 8D of this song :)
My sister and I did a cover of this song please check it out if you have the time.. :)
My Busted Radio I can’t find it :(
"I dont fear death , Because there's nothing to fear... It's merely NOT EXISTING"
I mean, you wouldn't know. No one has ever died and came back to tell us what it's like? Fuck no.
My mind can't comprehend what it's like to stop working.
That's exactly why I fear it
@@bison301 oh my god, that's exactly how i feel
@@bison301 This is how I feel when I think about how the universe is eternal. We always think of things as having a start and end, but putting religion aside, the universe just is and always has been. And it's so hard to comprehend the idea that there is no beginning or creating of something. And if you do believe in God, then God would be eternal. There would be no creation of it. Have fun with the most fucked up paradox ever.
@@bison301 The same premise as existence before your birth. You coped just fine then.
Never forget this:
"And your death, it won't happen to you
It happens to your family and your friends"
okay this.
He's not wrong. Never
When you’re in that place, you rationalise how it will be beneficial to them.
this line saved me.
matty made some major points not gonna lie. what an intellectual
Made a 8D of this song :)
he's normalizing wanting to die and it's not okay.. he talks very intelligent but he said some pretty dumb things to normalize wanting to die and saying it's normal when it isn't.
xoddenaexo I don’t think that he’s normalising it. He’s right, everyone thinks about killing themself at some point. It’s normal to be curious about stuff like that and he also said that there’s a difference between thinking about it and planning it.
xoddenaexo unless you’ve been living under a rock or are from a completely different generation you can’t deny that people say they want to die casually all the time these days...it’s just how it is so if anything it’s this generation that’s normalizing it lmao and like matty said there’s a difference between just thinking of it for a split second bc life is hard, anxiety etc or whatever it is or actually wanting to do it
Matty: doesn’t fear death
I like America and America likes me: “I’m scared of dying”
Rebecca Roberts fear of dying and fear of being dead are very different
you can fear the process of actually dying, knowing in that moment your life is truly ending, but when you are *actually* dead you won't feel anything at all and thats the point.
It's on the perspective of current american thought, not so much about himself
The song is about gun control and the fear of dying from said things. It's why he doesn't do many fan meetings in America
Dale Scoville calm down Hitchins ❤️😝
thank u genius for inviting him in so often, this is my favourite
He has a vocabulary of GODS
Wail Ouaissa but it’s so contrived
you can clearly see that in the songs
Agreed
You must've never met Pete Wentz or Brendon Urie

3:20 "You're gonna have good times, you're gonna have bad times, but mainly you're just gonna be singing sad songs."
CheesecakeLasagna I don’t know why they played that clip at the end, he is elaborating on the second verse “You win you lose you sing the blues, there’s no point in buying concrete shoes” so it had nothing to do with the final lines.
"In Norway, 500 years ago they believed in Thor" we still do brother, we still do.
donatella versace haha you are absolutely right, they were. Norway became Christian in the 11th century I believe , but I don’t expect Matty to now this haha. I mean He was only off by 500 years! Haha
@@PouryaBigonah i mean all of scandinavia is like christian now, but we all secretly believe in our lord Thor and whatever the others are called. in sweden we do anyway
@@hannanicander3814 thor Odin. Bor. I can keep going on viking gods
DO THE WHOLE ALBUM
PLEASE
YES
Yaaaaaasss
i love Mattys mind so much i want to be inside it just for a minute it’s so beautiful
*starts singing "inside your mind"*
I'd get out screaming

Please please please do ‘be my mistake’.
It's the most personal vulnerable song on the record in my opinion. And also it is a big "changing point" for the whole album in my opinion.
Wiwi Wonka yesss it’s so raw and amazing
Be My Mistake is a gorgeous good song but its pretty straight forward, I think. Not worth a whole Genius video
Y E S
Made a 8D of this song :)
Says in GQ video that he’s self conscious about wearing sunglasses (wears sunglasses throughout this whole video) 😂
He also said he looked better with em on soooo maybe thats why lol
this looks like it could have been the same day and he decided to wear them after saying he feels dumb lol
maybe he was high
I love him, this song, the 1975, and this channel
Made a 8D of this song :)
“when you’re approaching life from wanting to be really really sincere it’s difficult to reconcile the amount of times that you’ve lied to yourself or to other people” I RE ALLY F E L T THAT DEEP IN MY BONES
the 1975 is probably the best band in this generation
jimena x vampire weekend and tame impala are up there
jack nick Tame Impala is Kevin Parker, not a band.
jimena x mmmm I disagree. They’re good but not the best
J D who do you think is the best . Any recommendations?
J D fair, but they talk about important topics that not many artist are bringing to the light. its inspiring. not to mention, they make great music. their new album is amazing
OMG I LOVE HOW INTELLIGENT HE IS
the only person who can make the meaning even more confusing by explaining it. someone give this man an award
hahaha i thought the same
This is my favorite song on the album
When he speaks the lyrics you actually realise how poetic the lyrics are this is why I love this band so much
modernity has failed us
Omg you're so original and philosophical
Angel Trejo and I’d love it if we made it
Jesus save us
what does that even mean? you know you love your modern day devices, etc. Who are you kidding. You worship this guy because he's cute. Done deal
Cole the star fish it’s a reference to the song Love it if we made it 😂 lmao wow
"You're gonna have good times. You're gonna have bad times. But mainly you're gonna be singing sad songs." Never heard something more true in my life.
“You’re death, it won’t happen to you; it happens to your family and your friends” hits hard
*“You’re gonna have good times, you’re gonna have bad times, but mainly you’re just gonna be singing sad songs.”* Damn this whole video was the pep talk I needed, after everything went to shit recently. Thanks for being a real one, Matty 🖤
I don't know what he's saying but I totally agree
😂😂
True sis 😂
Not old enough to understand I presume.
Here Matty is wearing two things he can’t live without
Definitely get early 2000s vibes from this song
I remember being on a train after leaving my ex. I listened to this song and it was insane how much it felt close to my situation. I literally was thinking my life would change with this person and I was just sat on a train again.
This song gives me so much hope because to me the message is that no matter how low you feel or how much you may want to die at times, life is a balancing act and you won't feel that way forever. And no matter how alone you feel everyone feels that way at some point in their life, it's normal. This is why I love The 1975.
when he talked about religion, i felt that
Isaac Covarrubias it’s not really a deep discussion on dogma though. How about the fact that the three biggest religions are Abrahamic? They have the same base.
Also it’s so casual and nihilistic to think you are smarter than Aquinas and that you could prove the inexistence of God. Not even Nietzsche could do that. Honestly it’s kind of metaphysically uninspired to think everything is meaningless, because if everything is meaningless, everything might as well be nothing. The world around us is real. The footprint you leave behind is real. You wake up in a real world every morning ready to face your fears and the evils of the world with courage and love, manifesting the momentum of your creation. What could be more true than that?
@@watermelontreeofknowledge8682 The two biggest religions are Abrahamic, the third is not. It's Hinduism. Fallacy number 1. Moving on, you speak as if because they have the same base that they are all true. Because of this why would you follow one and not the other? What makes one more right than the other? Looking past the idea that you assume I couldn't possibly be smarter than Aquinas without conducting an IQ test on both of us, however you and I can both agree that we are both more knowledgeable considering we both know that germs therefore disease are an occurrence of the natural world instead of the belief that disease is incurred by God's wrath. Because i am not making the assertion of the "inexistence" of any God or whatever God you're asserting the existence for (whether it be the Hindu Gods, the Islam God, the Jew God or most likely I'll take the guess that you are asserting the existence of a Christan God (because you are using the rhetoric of Aquinas)). To pinpoint whatever Christan God it may be would be extremely difficult because there are more sects of Christianity than paragraphs in the Bible and let's be honest, every denomination of Christianity can't be true. That goes for every religion as well. Therefore, because i am making no assertions the burden of proof falls on you. Lastly get out of my face with your subjective view of life and stop applying a subjective definition to the word truth.
@@watermelontreeofknowledge8682 how can you possibly know the World is even real though? In my opinion, it's kind of silly to assume anything about the nature of reality, just accept that what you're experiencing right now is your perception of A reality?
the intro is so true like everyone is always saying that but doesn’t actually wanna die and trying to fit in but people actually have those thoughts
i try not to let it bother me but every time I hear someone joke about dying or killing themselves it reminds me that I’m still struggling mentally, I just stay quiet and try and forget about it
some people got pressed at the ending but it’s true. if you allow depression to take you down it’s no lie that it will affect the people around you. matty is really smacking us all with reality with this song.
matty wearing those glasses throughout the whole video is a mood😂💕
@Popular Loner agreed my dude 😂💞
Yisss
Studio lights are bright af
locals b calling anything mood
literally how is that a mood? what the fuck
I bE FLosSiN
i Be fLOSsIn
I be fLOssIn
*SOMETIMES*
I love how Matty thinks.
1:47 "There's nothing to fear, it's merely not existing."
lmao not existing is what most people are afraid of.
I think this guy is a philosopher, not only a vocalist:)
I’ve been saying this shit forever!! It’s refreshing to see someone with a large platform bringing attention to this subject because most people don’t think about the reasoning behind things when it’s so obvious! They choose to ignore it out of fear and feel resentment for said person questioning their beliefs that they think are true. When people hear something all their lives as “fact”(lol) they can’t steer away and look at things from the perspectives of others. I’ve never related to an artist more in my life.
i went to their concert last night and this song was such a big moment, i think everyone there felt that
He needs to do a podcast
He is so eloquent and aware of our issues. I admire him so much as an artist but as a person too. Love you Matty
idk why but i think ezra miller and matty would be a very good friends.
And Timothy chalamet
sun flower and Robert Sheehan
gonna jump in & add Conan gray lol
YESS their points of view are really interesting
Matty is genuinely the most influential singer out there he speaks on topics that people are afraid to even mention. He’s also the sweetest being ever best famous person i’ve met
Ma boy ❤️ can you do this with every song in the album? I need it
I’ve been going through a rough patch mentally and this song has definitely helped. Very thankful for the 1975. ❤️
I like the way he just words the lyrics, unlike a lot of artists featured on here he doesn’t have to sing them to make the song sound great, the lyrics are beautiful and poetic enough spoken
I love these videos with Matt, the way he explains the lyrics is just amazing and makes me appreciate the band even more
this channel was named after matty
*the bag*
He looks like the guy who would do the “psst psst do you wanna know a secret” on the subway and scares tf outta you but then he actually has something to say and you start enjoying the conversation. And then you are like “damn did I just... 😳”
The 1975 is just common on this channel and it just surprise me if i didn't see a video with Matthew😂😂❤
Matty is everywhere right now and I LOVE it
Wow!! How he explained the depth of the geography part is really amazing!
i want to read the books he reads
i feel like he's yelling at me the whole time lmaoo
Yay! Matty is back on here! This time with a purse.
A murse
This song makes me sad but at the same time gives me peace in my head. thank you. for the whole album
im literally a lesbian but im in love with him
you don't need to be physically attracted to someone to love them.
i love this song and i'm so SO glad i decided to listen to more of the 1975
Look at this purse, and the constant uploads from this album? HELL YA! thank you, next song
"You can't just give up and then expect everyone to drag you along with them, you've gotta put a bit of effort in."
Matty hits our bones
As someone in school to become a therapist, I just need to say if u are experiencing any sort of suicidal ideation, you should be getting help !! I understand Matty’s sentiment but it’s actually really problematic to put out the message that you should only be seeking help if you have a plan for suicide. Thinking about it is still unhealthy and can eventually lead to planning! You don’t have to be at rock bottom to go to therapy, try to go before that point!
Penny Lily thank you
That's a great sentiment and I have respect for the fact that you have schooling to back it up,but it's easier said than done. We can do the old "Seek help. Go to this place. Call this hotline." thing,but it's just not the reality for most. Mental health services are not as easy to attain,compared to care for physical injuries. This is compounded by the fact that a lot of people still brush off someone's mental health problems,as just being whiny or weak minded. Males have it worse,because society says that we're all tough guys who fear nothing. Living in a low income area,being a male,having no support system and having mental problems, is a recipe for disaster. I'm speaking from personal experience in regards to not only myself,but other people I know going through similar situations.
D F Im not saying it’s easy to get help or anything like that, because it is definitely hard ! but I don’t want people to think it is normal and healthy to have suicidal ideations from what matty said when it’s not. hope you are doing ok ❤️
I think what Matty is referring to is the figure of speech people use when something isn't going the way they want it. For example, when young people wake up with hangovers and they say "I wanna die". He isn't talking about the literal meaning.
Good point, though it is probably true that almost everyone has had the thought before
Seeing this live immediately broke me
“Wanting and planning very DIFFERENT things.”
Good man for making that clear!
Okay but this is a whole new level of brilliantness
Everytime I watched Matty's videos I swear to God I'm always in need of subtitles ♥️😂
"i was an ATHIEST , now im like an anthiest" 🔥
Wail Ouaissa I keep waking up in a simulation every morning. I don’t know why I wake up every morning, but it’s not an accident. My suffering is very real. The only thing that can offset the pain of living is the love I share with others who also have the same strange consciousness in the simulation as me. Neurons and chemicals are insufficient; the sum is greater than the parts. This love is transcendent, beautiful, a part of the simulation in a way that is deeper than patterns alone. It is part of the identity and structure of the simulation itself. These patterns and the spacial reality of the simulation speak to a conspiracy. The conspiracy of the meaning of the simulation that I keep waking up every morning. The meaning has been spoken throughout history. Brilliant minds and some gifted people have come closer the truth than we could have hoped for alone. They were standing on the shoulders of other giants and influenced directly by this transcendent power as they wrote and spoke the truth.
It’s up to you to use your free will to find the truth. Not your truth. THE truth. Best of luck, my friend.
And I love it if we made it
What's an anthiest?
I use that saying I want to die many times. 2003 when I lost everything I worked so hard for my children and husband. I'm 50 now and barely hanging on. I tried suicide back in October and they had brought me back three times.myheart kept giving up.
He is so incredible
the matty content we're getting now is a lot and amazing and I absolutely love it!
Matt has well-thought lyrics *WITH* deep meanings than other artists. This video just reminds me of why I appreciate and support The 1975. Wow.
Holy crap, this spoke to me on another level. Matty, an intellectual ❤️
"you cant just put an anchor down and drag everyone with you"
Thank you Matty for improving my vocabulary with every album released
I love Matty and know he means well but I think the last few sentences he said could come across as demotivating to some individuals with severe depression, with the idea of bringing others down or that you just need to put a bit of effort in. It just doesn't work like that, if you perceive yourself as worthless or life as meaningless or the biological changes in clinical depression make the state of your body be in constant pain it can feel more shameful to hear those kinds of sentiments. So I just wanna let you know if you're at any level of severity of struggling with your mental health I love you and you don't deserve to feel ashamed and please reach out ❤️
I love the song and the band, all good vibes here 🌞
B I agree ,when you have no motivation to do things it’s difficult to put effort into the even simple things
B it was a really shitty thing for him to say
I agree but I think he’s just being tough love about it and not enabling people. With mental health it’s so easy to become an enabler and allow people to destroy themselves and others around them and say “it’s okay because they have depression/anxiety/ etc” sometimes you have to really bring it home and be like if you want to get better you have to “just try” and help yourself first. It’s hard, don’t get me wrong, but it’s necessary.
yeah i love him but that hurt my heart a little. idk if i agree with it
i think he meant it more frim an relationships standpoints. you can’t expect other people to go down with you and help you all the way along bc at the end of the day it’s not their problem. i think what he was meaning is nothing is gonna change if you don’t try to help yourself. other people can try as hard as they can to help you but if you don’t put that effort in too to help yourself, you can’t expect others to keep doing the same. i think he just said it very harshly
Matty, this song perfectly explains how I feel. Something of which I’ve never been real able to explain. You really are a genius.
I'm in love with him, he's a genius. I would love to just sit with him and have philosophical conversations.
Randomly felt like listening to Mattys ideas and this particular discussion of the song was a reminder that I needed. Thanks
i really could spend hours and hours just listening to him talk
Wow, probably one of the most insightful things I've ever heard. I love Matty, he's such a wonderful person and musician.
people are really overreacting over a song title without actually listening to it first lmao.
when he said "you're mainly gonna be singing sad songs" I felt that
Im religious, but not because I'm scared to die. It's because I believe there is a greater purpose for life.
I...needed this significantly more than I thought I did wow.
Thank you Matty, just thank you
HES SO AMAZING AND SMART I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND THIS SONG IS SO GOOD! 💕💕🔲
Honestly & genuinely, THANK YOU (Matty and Genius) for creating this content. It's so awesome
there's no point in buying concrete shoes
Eskayda HD I reeeefffuuuusssseee
i like matty’s lyrics because they aren’t formulaic. he doesn’t stick to rigid rhyming patterns, i’ve noticed, which is nice to me because i often feel like i’m doing something wrong if i write anything without such a pattern. it’s affirming in a way.
Wouldnt it be so interesting to hang out with ma-ey. Or like go on a date with him and just listen to him talk all day bc same
honeslty love how matty has been showing up in my recommended featured in a new video everyday
Anyone from The1975 International🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was talking to some of my friends from work the other day and somehow the topic of depression got brought up. One of the guys in the conversation said “everyone is a little depressed,” and we all just said “yeah,” and then we sat there in silence for a minute, reflecting. It was a raw moment between the 4 of us as we casually talked about depression, and it was really comforting. I got that same feeling listening to Matty talk. It’s like shit gets overwhelming and fucked up sometimes and i think everyone has those moments where you wish you could just turn it all off or fall asleep until your problems went away. It’s nice to know that a lot of people, if not most people, can relate, even if they won’t admit it.
I literally looked up these lyrics on genius hours ago
I just fall more and more with each verified video. What a man
YES I CAN'T WAIT
