This past February, The 1975 dropped their Sophomore album titled "I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It" (also known as "album two" amoungst some). The band had reinvented their sound while still keeping their distinct, almost ambient, magic about their music that pulls you in so much.
Today, they released their music video for track four off the album, "A Change of Heart".
The video corresponds and resonates with the song in such a wonderful way as singer Matty Healy, dressed in clown attire, portrays the innocence and adventure of the relationship with a lovely lady. While the pair has their downfall throughout the video and ends on a bit of a tragic note, there is something strangely endearing about the entire video. Whether it's the sweet beginning, the seemingly effortlessly beautiful choreography, or the story behind it - which seems to differ from person to person if we're going to get all deep - I'm not too sure. But I'm not sure I mind either.
My first encounter with this song was during their December show at the Rivera in Chicago. I had no previous knowledge of this song however when the beat started up sounding uncannily like "Robbers" I could tell this song would be special. Of course, as it progressed, I was proven right and am ever so grateful I was.
Though the beat and familiar lyrics about a face straight out of a magazine isn't the only way this song pays homage and could very well be the sequel to "Robbers". A solid chunk of The 1975 fans have been super sleuthing through the video to find scenes replicated from "Robbers" or other references to it. You can find a slideshow of some easter egg moments below.
The song pulls at your heart strings and really ticks in those important, deep places in you and the video is absolute art. I believe with my whole heart that music videos like this and "The Sound" are integral to the bands existence. They bring you back to videos like "Robbers" and "Heart Out" and remind you why The 1975 are such an important, talented band with an intriguing way about their tunes. They remind you why you were drawn to the UK band and why you stuck with them.
"A Change of Heart" and it's video counterpart sit in your chest, heart and mind in almost indescribable ways and truly give you good words to hold onto and words that stick with you very honestly.
