yo so as I listen to each song on NOACF I’m going to do a drawing based on how they make me feel/what they remind me of I’ll post each one as I go!!! #the1975 #NOACF #mattyhealy

1. The 1975-this song is a narration by Greta Thunberg about our current climate crisis and the changes we need to make. So the drawing is pretty straight forward #the1975 #NOACF

2. People-this song is very different to a lot of their stuff and reminds me of just going hard and being angry. I chose to draw this based on the lyrics and the intensity of the song. #the1975 #NOACF

3. the end (music for cars)-this instrumental reminded me of late night drives with my friends to the middle of nowhere, we’d just look up and watch the stars and enjoy each other’s company. #the1975 #NOACF

4. Frail State of Mind-this song reminded me of a party I went to where I just felt so small and anxious and there was a lot of alcohol and drugs and I just felt so weird. it was still a good night though! #the1975 #NOACF

5. Streaming-this gorgeous instrumental made me imagine wind chimes softly blowing in the autumn wind as leaves floated down around it. #the1975 #NOACF

6. The Birthday Party-this song reminded me of my old flat, in particular when we had parties and at the end of the night the remaining people would go to sleep surrounded by empty bottles and streamers. Others would stumble home. I really miss that blow up sign. #the1975 #NOACF

7. Yeah I Know-this song reminded me of that moment when you realise something is over with someone and you know you’re about to get fucked up. Even though you knew it was coming, it still hits really hard and everything starts to feel unreal and spacey. #the1975 #NOACF

8. Then Because She Goes-this song reminds me of the first time I held hands with the first girl I ever loved. It felt like electricity. I was so in love, I always wanted to be around her. She’s so beautiful. We don’t talk anymore so I guess this song makes sense. #the1975 #NOACF

9. Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America-this song reminds me of internalised homophobia and feeling lost in it all. After I first fell in love with a girl at 20, I convinced myself I was confused even though I’d known I liked girls since I was little. It’s an internal battle!

10. Roadkill- This song reminds me of what it feels like to lose yourself, whether it be to drugs, an eating disorder etc and you just don’t care much anymore. It’s kinda accepting all the fucked up things you’re doing and recognising that you’re being self destructive. #the1975

11. Me and You Together Song-this song reminds me of a friend I fell in love with. We used to get high in my room and pretend we were under water. Eventually my feelings got in the way. We never did get it right. But we’re still friends & sometimes it feels like it used to #NOACF

12-I Think There’s Something You Should Know- this song reminded me of those conflicting feelings of trying to admit to both yourself and others that you’re not okay. You don’t really feel like yourself but it’s hard to explain why. #the1975 #NOACF

13. Nothing Revealed / Everything Denied-this song reminds me of my overcompensation to feel included or that I’m good enough for those around me. I work at a cafe where the “cool” people are often smoking and drinking black coffee and I get this weird desire to be like them.

Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy)-I’ve been in love with the same girl for a very long time. This song reminds me of how I both wanted her so bad and how much I fucked it up. I almost feel like this song is me accepting that it’s unfixable but admitting I still wish she was mine.
