SW024 - black midi - bmbmbm

you looked at me across the room as tears formed in my eyes
the words you had written forced their way into my mind
seretone - depleting! misery - releasing!
memories are triggered from the belly of the beast

and you looked in pity at the mess i had become
rolled into a heap so quick i came undone

but don't get it confused, my friend oh dearest friend of mine
GUILT is not an emotion that i feel any of the time
you triggered something else
but know that it was never you
you could never hurt me
no matter what you tried to do

and know this is no resolve, no atonement for my sins
but you opened up the blackest sky and disease came pouring in
i don't cry for us i cry for something else i've lost
you know the one so well, now you truly see the cost

franny's tears

her lips are dry teeth are bone white she takes a bite the rest thrown aside
sits in a cell hidden from view not much to say and not much to do
but oh, how her mind works oh, how it fills fills her with thoughts of terrible things
it brings her to space and lets her sing loud, louder than he who runs this town

sometimes they leave her cell door unlocked runs through the island bottom to top
and feasts on the bad things that she can find, the wilder the better the stronger her mind

it's somewhere somewhere somewhere somewhere better x16

the island runs wild with creatures like her that come out at night and dance till it hurts
that find their meaning under the moons glow, no way to escape and no way to go
this island is secluded hidden from view, exists in a bubble that i hide from you
oh if you saw it! oh if you knew! the things you would say, the things you would do

BRIDGE AND CHORUS X1000000000000

somewhere better

Paris et redbullschuh sont fini mais GLUCOSE & GULLIES vive toujours

Recorded live in Paris with a new alias, we present you GLUCOSE & GULLIES VOLUME 6 packed with more breaks and touch bit more experimental towards the end as isolation makes the brain think a little more left of field.

GLUCOSE & GULLIES VOLUME 6

As part of The 1975’s takeover of The Face, we’ve released a series of podcasts featuring frontman Matty Healy in conversation with his musical heroes.

Mike Kinsella is a prolific, cult, cornerstone figure in emo. The Chicago native’s bands include Cap’n Jazz, Joan of Arc, Owls and American Football – bands have inspired the more tender side of Healy’s songwriting. The admiration goes both ways: Kinsella recently covered his favourite ’75 song, Me.

In this podcast, Kinsella and Healy discuss the pre-internet landscape of indie rock, the mutating definition of the term “emo”, and whether or not the American will make more music with his brother and bandmate Tim. Along the way, Kinsella shares a story about his mum baking a cake for Fugazi, while Healy hints at reprising Drive Like I Do, the heavier band that were the teenage precursor The 1975.

Want to hear more of these? We also have podcasts featuring Healy talking to Stevie Nicks, Brian Eno, Steve Reich, Kim Gordon, Conor Oberst and Bobby Gillespie. You can find the full transcripts on TheFace.com

Conor Oberst is the cult, much-loved singer-songwriter behind Bright Eyes, and also a prolific collaborator: see also Desaparecidos and Better Oblivion Community Centre (with Phoebe Bridgers). To legions of ardent fans, the Nebraskan sage is, simply, one of the best songwriters ever. In this podcast, Oberst and Healy discuss the roots of emo, the return of emo, ageing, influences and mortality. Read the full transcripts on TheFace.com.
