The 1975's Apple Music Festival Show Was So Beautiful Yet They Were So Unaware Of It
Night 2 was lit!

Look outside sometimes?
No!
I'm just with my friends online
And there's things we'd like to change! (yeah)
Next thing you'll find you're
Reading about yourself on a plane (fame!)
What a shame!
Ohh! Well, just keep looking!
Looking! Looking! Looking!
And love me (yeah!)
If that's what you wanna do (oh, yeah!)
And love me (yeah!)
If that's what you wanna do (oh, yeah!)
You've been reading about yourself on a plane,
Fame for a change
Caught up in fashion,
Karcrashian panache
And a bag of bash for passion
You've got a beautiful face but got nothing to say (Oh!)
"You look famous, let's be friends and portray we possess something important
And do the things we'd like"
We've just come to represent
A decline in the standards
Of what we accept!"
Yeah?!
Yeah?!
Yeah?!
No!
And love me (Yeah! Oh)
If that's what you wanna do (Oh, yeah)
And love me (Love me, yeah!)
If that's what you wanna do (Oh, yeah!)
Oh so sack off your calendar,
Give it to the people!
Be the man that gets them up on their feet
Say "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh"
And love me (Yeah!)
(Oh)
And love me (Yeah!)
If that's what you wanna do (Oh, yeah!)
Back in 2013 The 1975 played London's Roundhouse in support of Bastille but last night (19th September), three years later, they returned to headline their very own night of the annual Apple Music Festival and it was nothing short of phenomenal.
Taking up support duties this year were Christine and the Queens who just the night before, had stolen the show as she joined Elton John on the festival's opening night, giving us a proper taste of what everyone went mental over at Glastonbury this year.
Joined by her troupe of dancers they raved, contorted and bounded across the stage as Héloïse "introduced" herself to the thousand audience members and countless people watching over the live stream treating us to electro-pop cuts from her debut album Chaleur Humaine including 'Saint Claude', 'Science Fiction', 'iT', the massive 'Tilted' and a tribute to Inner City's dance anthem 'Good Life'.
She's back in the UK in November. Go see her.
But to the main act, and for the occasion, Matt Healy emerged donning a full on tux before launching into a trio of smashes from their Mercury Prize nominated No.1 album I like it when you sleep,for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it, 'Love Me', 'UGH!' and 'Heart Out'.
Set in front of a massive LED screen with LED-strewn monoliths breaking up the stage, and even LED frames (from their album sleeves) suspended from the ceiling, the lighting set up was nothing short of incredible, one moment beaming bright, bold colours and the next transporting us to a cityscape.
As a frontman, it's hard to keep your eyes of Healy who, one moment can look so involved in the moment it's as if no one else is in the room but you and him, and the next is doing his best dad dancing impression or interferring with bandmate Adam's guitar, mid-solo.
Mid-way through the set, as things were about to take a down-tempo turn, Healy admitted the Internet is "where we all live now" but asked for phones to be put away for 'Me' and 'fallingforyou'.
Banning phones and shout outs to Mercury winner Skepta aside, the music really did the talking with the cluster of superfans dead centre going nuts for 'Loving Someone' and 'She's American', while the indie-pop, 80s synth hits raised the roof. There's not enough saxophone solos these days - fact.
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
I can't believe I forgot your name
Oh baby won't you come again?
She said "I've got a problem with your shoes and your tunes
But I might move in" and
"I thought that you were straight, now I'm wondering"
You're so conceited
I said "I love you"
What does it matter if I lie to you?
I don't regret it but I'm glad that we're through
So don't you tell me that you 'just don't get it'
Cause I know you do.
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
It's not about reciprocation it's just all about me
A sycophantic, prophetic, Socratic junkie wannabe
There's so much skin to see
A simple Epicurean Philosophy
And you say I'm such a cliche,
I can't see the difference in it either way.
And we left things to protect my mental health
But you call me when you're bored and you're playing with yourself
You're so conceited
I said "I love you"
What does it matter if I lie to you?
I don't regret it but I'm glad that we're through
So don't you tell me that you 'just don't get it'
Cause I know you do.
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
The whole crowd went ballistic as 'Chocolate', 'The Sound' and 'Sex' saw the night to a close with Healy even exclaiming "this sh*t's lit!"
No encore needed.
