Talking with justinmcurto, the1975's Matty Healy dissects lyrics from the band's new album 'Being Funny in a Foreign Language'
, for the first time to polish things off, Healy was insistent on retaining control over his lyrics. Sprawled out and smoking a joint on a video call, Healy is eager to discuss lines from the album, often singing them to himself to jog his memory. He even asks to talk about one more song, “Looking for Somebody ,” at the end of the interview.I’m sorry about my 20s — I was learning the ropes / I had a tendency of thinking about it after I spoke.
That’s the first time I’ve ever thought about that separation. I’ve definitely realized that there was a time and a place on each song. I was even challenged on that when I was making “I’m in Love With You.” The guys could hear me in the vocal booth trying to find a word that would negate the sentimentality a little bit. Maybe “I’m not in love with you” or “I’m not quite in love with you” or something to give it that 1975, not-so-sweet [feeling].
Everyone always asks what my advice is, and my advice is don’t overintellectualize your art. If you have an idea, and that seems like the idea, you can sit there for five days and think why and ask people if it’s a good idea, but then you’ll never make the art. So what I tend to do is write the line. And then if I want to pull it out because I’m scared of it or it’s touching on something that is maybe culturally sensitive or politically sensitive, then those are the lines that I always leave in.
When you’re writing a song like that, and the sentiment at the heart of it is pretty simple and the lyrics aren’t that flashy, how do you know when that works?George Michelle from Japanese Breakfast had sung on “Part of the Band,” and I remembered that moment of — I’ve done it a few times, but sometimes one of the revelations is,Okay, yeah, the part’s great — just I shouldn’t have been singing that.
I had different lyrics, and then I got Carly to sing the lyrics, and then I changed the lyrics. Once I did hear her say “There was something about you that now I can’t remember,” I was like,But that was just finessing conjunctions and nouns and first-person, third-person stuff. The sentiment was there; I knew what I needed her to say.
It is a line that definitely could be read differently if it were thrown into a song like “Part of the Band.”
