The 1975 is an indie and alternative band that started in the United Kingdom. They have since grown to be a decently sized band, reaching the United States more recently with some of their biggest hits.
Their most recent album, “Being Funny in a Foreign Language,” has boosted their popularity. This album contains less rock content compared to their other albums and is more funky and unique. However, the band still captures the feeling of real emotions in their songs from this album.
Their most popular song off of this album is called “About You,” which captures the feeling of missing someone who will not be forgotten. This could be interpreted in any way – as romantic or as in a friendship. The band uses a lot of violins and wind instruments to capture these feelings. This song is relatable for teenagers who are searching for a comforting feeling.
“I’m In Love With You” is a song that captures the feeling of loving someone. The song has a happy upbeat rhythm, showing exactly how the song is supposed to make someone feel. The effects in it make it very fun and exciting to listen to.
“Happiness” is a song about loving someone and not always being able to have them. The spin on it is that it has a cheerful, upbeat melody to it, but still holds the gut-wrenching lyrics and feeling of a sad song. “I’m never gonna love again” is a lyric that portrays the sadness in this song with the feeling of no hope for that person to come back. The pop and funky feeling to the song makes it easier to listen to instead of it being a straight-up ballad.
This album is worth listening to if one is searching for something funky and exciting. Each song is different in its own way. The listener does not know what they will get next, but the album leaves them wanting to listen to more.
