Why I Love: The 1975

Why I Love is a feature on my blog. This is where I share the things I am currently obsessing on and still obsessed with. Note that future posts are highly over the top and crazy because I am a crazy fangirl.

This band is composed of Adam Hann, Ross Macdonald, Matt Healy and George Daniel. They're from Manchester, England and has been together for 10 years. Their debut album, The 1975, has 39 tracks. Yes, 39 tracks and it shot up in the UK and US charts.

Here are my favorite songs from this band.

Girls

They're just girls, breaking hearts

Eyes bright, uptight, just girls

But she can't be what you need if she's 17

They're just girls

They're just girls

The City

If you wanna find love, then you know where the city is

Chocolate

Hey now, call it a split 'cause you know that you will

Oh, you bite your friends like chocolate

You say, we'll go where nobody knows, with guns hidden under our petticoats

No, we're never gonna quit

No, we're never gonna quit it.

Pressure

You've seen so many faces that I've never seen before

I left an unrewarding message telling you to come on

Over dramatic, automatically assume I'll stay the same.

Robbers

I'll give you one more time

We'll give you one more fight

Said no more line

Will I know you

Settle Down

And you're sure that I'd learn

I'm pushing through bodies

Avoiding me and walking 'round you

And you're cold and I burn

'Cause I stay another hour or two

Just listening to their songs gives you this very calming vibe. Some of the songs on their debut album are very electronic, and sometimes those kinds of songs can get very annoying. It's too auto tuned, but theirs isn't. It's perfect for road trips or for background music at like coffee shops and stuff. And their lyrics are very wonderful.

Check out their cover of Rather Be by Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. This is, like, the coolest cover I've ever heard of.

If you're looking for the next band to cheer you up, or just looking for new music to listen, listen to The 1975. You will not regret it. I swear.

See you on the next episode/segment/whatever I'm supposed to call this lol!
