As music writers, we are equally publishing our work and putting stuff out there for people to see. Secondly, there seems to be a presumption that the people criticising them aren’t doing what they want to do. What he didn’t do was produce a piece of film that amounted to nothing more than a collective whine that not everybody likes you. He took heed of his mother’s words of wisdom “ No matter what you do in life, not everybody is going to like you.” He kept going, knowing he had an audience who loved him regardless and paid no attention to his critics. He was labelled a blasphemer and spawn of Satan etc. Ray Charles received a tremendous backlash when he started turning gospel music into popular records, which in turn led to the invention of soul music. The oh-so subtle moral of the story? Presumably, that internet meme-worthy old chestnut of “ Instead of criticising someone else’s work, you should do something yourself.” Which is flawed.įirstly, they put themselves on display in the box, so let’s not act like this is something that has been forced upon them.
Before the end of the song, the situation reverses and the people who were pointing at the band are in the box and struggling to survive as the band watch. The 1975 perform on display in a glass box, which may or may not have been stolen from the set of ITV’s The Cube (and if that’s the case, I am going to go out on a limb and say that Denise Welch was his accomplice).Īs they perform the song, people in underwear approach the box and point at them, and actual real-life criticisms aimed at the band flash on the screen. Not Earth shattering, more the kind of thing the BBC would use on a lot of adverts for their music coverage.
The Sound is a pretty decent pop song as far as I’m concerned, and extremely catchy. The only reason for me to despise them is the pretentious, self-fellating, obnoxious posing of Healy, who seems to be in constant awe of himself and how Christ-like and wonderful he is. Just take a look at the band’s videos, which are apparently storyboarded by Healy himself. Matt Healy certainly knows a good hook when he hears it, and there’s something unique about his voice. If that’s not a recipe for success, what is? They’re radio friendly and their frontman’s dad was in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. I can understand the success of The 1975. Occasionally, though, I wonder if it could merely be that life moves in cycles.Īs an example, let’s look at populist players of musical instruments and wearers of ripped skinny jeans, The 1975. If it is prolonged, you may be experiencing mental health issues and hallucinations according to my doctor, Ernst Von Hindenburg, a pink elephant from Mars.
Like all scientific studies, there are exceptions to the rule.
It is perfectly normal to experience déjà vu for that reason. This is why you can’t remember the apparently recalled experience. For the most part, the scientific stance is that of an anomaly in one’s memory which creates the impression that the experience is being recalled. Johnny Borrell and Matt Healy get their tits outĪs the rise of The 1975 continues, Getintothis’ Shaun Ponsonby feels a sense of déjà vu with front man Matt Healy.ĭespite some well-known spiritual beliefs, scientific theory rejects the notion that déjà vu is any kind of precognition or prophecy, or that it’s a sign of reincarnation.
