Odd thing: in the piece I said Healy's lyrics reminded in a peculiar way of Craig Finn. Who also references back to earlier songs all the time. I wrote that before seeing the Change of Heart lyrics.

great writeup!
Healy should have posters made emblazoned with "LOL @ MID-20's"

lol i love matty. i think he's fiercely if imprecisely intelligent, guy has way too many ideas spilling from his head. but he is also very much 25 (iirc?). great interview

i couldn't be more thrilled to discover one of the new songs is called "ugh"

ithappens i was looking at your other interview with him (linked in the new one) and i'm really curious whether the slip here is his, can you confirm:
Until late last year he was still living at home. Then, as he puts it, "my band took off, my family fell apart. My parents got divorced. It's kinda good – no good marriage ever ended in divorce. If two people had a really good thing going on and they had to get divorced, that would be really sad. But that's never happened once. That's fine. That was a long time coming. December of last year I went on tour and they sold that house. I went home for two days to move out of my house, and I wrote and recorded Is There Somebody Who Can Watch Me?, the last song on the album, about that moment.

xpost … Sorry, just noticed that. It would have been taken from the transcription. But I'd have to listen to the tape to check whether I transcribed correctly. So I can't answer your question …

Got a full stream of the record this week (I'd previously heard 90% of it, but in two different chunks, weeks apart). The highpoints are pretty fucking great.

Wow, the song is titled like they anticipated my reaction to it, so I suppose it has that going for it.

― MikoMcha, Friday, 18 December 2015 15:20 (eight years ago) link
Between these last two videos, I can't help but wonder if Matty is not totally heterosexual or if the vaguely 80s new wave pink and neon aesthetics are throwing me off.

Are these lyrics? Because I don't actually digest what Matty says half the time anyway.
