this is a major fan favorite and for good reason. i’ve never seen them live but i’ve been dying to for like 7 years and all i want is to sing this song with them. if you ever dive into their second album, their song “change of heart” is a callback to this song, and it’s him realizing that he no longer has a fascination with this girl or the relationship. in their discography they often reference other songs which is pretty cool bc it feels like one big story.
This song is just sooo good! As someone who's seen them live a couple times, this song gives me goosebumps when they perform it cuz everyone SCREAMS the lyrics, especially the "Now everybody's dead" part! It's kind of a surreal feeling to hear this live bc everyone, even the band, knows that it's a fan favorite so u can just feel this sense of family almost when they play this. EVERYONE goes crazy
I’ve always thought that “everybody’s death and there driving past my old school” lyric was people and newscasters driving past his old school trying to understand who and where this shooter/criminal came from. This to me symbolizes that even people around him don’t know how he got in this depressed/tragic place (but it was from the toxic relationship with the girl)
The you look so cool lone is a reference to a line from the film true romance - they say you're so cool instead of saying I love you. Like other comments say the MV for this really ties in with a lot of the lyricism in the song. The 1975 are really good with having themes and Easter eggs carried over from other songs and their music videos. Such as she had a face straight out of a magazine. Xx
I haven't listened to this album for so long, thank you for reminding me how amazing it is! Definitely recommend you watch the music video for this one.
This is the only song I've heard by them because someone recommended me the MV (which I found creepy tho) but the song has been in my playlist for a while now.
Matty’s voice in this 🔥, it’ll always be one of my fave songs from them

The music video helps makes sense of the lyrics. There’s definitely a Bonnie and Clyde vibe.
Been going through all your the 1975 reactions. Love it!

This is the song that hooked me on their music. This is very indie rock pop with some 80s vibes. Great song and album!!
The music video for this song is amazing. So well done!

This is THE BEST 1975 SONG

The music video is kinda like a tribute to the movie "true romance" which i believe is based off of bonnie and clyde.
Funny you said that about Bonnie and Clyde. He’s made that reference about this song.
This is my favorite song of them. Ever. Period lol
Loooove your assessment and reaction to this. And have watched the song reactions on other channels but this is my favorite
Great reaction! Incredible song!
robbers is everyones fave from self titled
Best song forever
If you haven’t even listens to somebody else by the 1975 it’s a must
This is the only song I've heard by them because someone recommended me the MV (which I found creepy tho) but the song has been in my playlist for a while now.
Taylor Swift, The 1975, John Mayer, Lany (i know the vocalist is shit but u cant deny their song is good) is my all time favorite.
Same
what did Paul Klein do? I really like his music but I don't know about nothing :(
I also want to become a professional music listener, so I won't just cry when listening to this kind of music
One of my faves 🥹
Top 10 song ever for my liking
This music video is the best
Do 'Happiness " The 1975
