And that's where my jaw dropped and tears ran down my cheeks the first time I heard this song 😭 because it makes perfect sense and it's so damn sweet and heart wrenching at the same time.. like *gasp* then aaaaaawwwwwwhhhhh dammit! 😱❤️😭🤯
@@calebsmith322 It's nothing like that mate, the lyrics are "you do make me hard, but she makes me weak" meaning she made him feel complete, happy. Whilst the girl in the song that he refers to as "his mistake" makes him feel the opposite. She makes him feel isolated, alone and not like himself.
no one will ever know what the og comment is bc i think my og comment is triggering ppl into sadness. u are loved u are seen, u are perfect as u are. love urself
“the smell of your hair reminds me of her feet” basically the other girls best feature cant even compare to the worst feature of the girl who he truly loves
My husband left me for a younger woman and I always felt like he ran to her as a way of holding onto the younger version of me. He immediately regretted it after we divorced and sent me long messages about how she would wear perfume and it reminded him of me. How she would rub his earlobes and he hated it because it was something "We" did together. It's been years and he still sends me letters telling me about how he misses things about me. I feel so bad for the people who are "mistakes". But I also feel sad for the person that was left behind. So many hearts are ripped apart. 😫
@@camilaramirezangel No she ended it with him as soon as he told her he filed for divorce with me. Turns out she only wanted him because she saw he had his life together. Had a good wife, beautiful kids, and a good job. As soon as he lost all that she dropped him just like that. That's the way it goes.

i was the mistake. he was the first guy i truly had fall in love with. he had just broken up with his gf. which now i realize i was the rebound. sometimes i smell his cologne out of nowhere. i miss the feeling of butterflies in my stomach. the one motivation i had for waking up. he helped me through so much and he’s gone. the one thing that made me happy disappeared one day. i was in love with him and life. i slowly watched him fall in love with another girl. i get that she’s pretty and not boring. just watching him create amazing memories with her hurts so bad. i wish he would’ve gave me closure or something. im still friends with him but it’s not the same. it’s been a year now and im still in love with him. im still stuck on the idea of what we could’ve been. i pray and hope he’s happy. i miss him Edit: it’s been 5 months since I posted the original comment. i rarely talk to him. i am in peace with myself. things get better Edit: it’s been about 2-3 years. Still see him around school and is dating one of my friends. I manage to make small talk to him but it’s crazy how we both voluntarily forget those things. Glad that I’m not blind to see the immatureness, selfishness, and manipulativeness he is now
I was in the same situation as you. I still miss him sometimes but trust me, it will get better with time. Just don't give up and keep your head up. He's not worth it. You deserve much better.
I hope that you will feel better in the future. After all, you still have the whole journey in front of you, don't let this hinders your chance to meet your Mr. Right. When he's not yours, he's not yours. All the best wishes for you.
He isn't saying that the feet or hair smells good or bad, he's just so in love with the other girl that he's constantly reminded of her, no matter how random the instance is. This song is so depressing and sweet at the same time

One thing that I really appreciate about this song is the pure transparency of it. He doesn’t try to defend his mistakes; he sings very honestly about them. The sense of regret is palpable in his voice, as he sounds like he’s on the verge of tears the whole time he sings. It’s just very vulnerable and I respect the honesty of it. It shows that we as humans do have flaws and do make mistakes and he turned something unfortunate into something beautiful. Respect, Matty 👍🏼
Always.... We all deserve that. Unfortunately....sometimes people settle...or make a wrong choice.....or make the perfect choice followed by a terrible choice. Life IS messy.
This song is about a man who is only vulnerable around one particular woman. Even though she has left him, she still remains as the love of his life, till this very day. He is an independent man who loves his solitude, but yet he is the best version around her. And without her, he is crushed. He believes that he is broken, and commit acts out of foolishness because he knows he has nothing left. Nothing to lose. And deep down, as much as he hates to admit it, he wishes he could go back in time and relive the happiest days of his life. Because no matter what happens, or who he meets in the future, he already knows, he had the best. And he lost the best.
I let go of the love of my life, together over 5 years 4 months ago. Went from teenagers to adults together. She was an absolute diamond in the rough and always believed in me. She held me through depression despite it being so difficult for her. She gave me some of the happiest memories and experiences that I'll forever cherish until the day I die. We both loved this band and saw them multiple times together, robbers was our love song. I'm hoping one day in the future we will reconcile despite how she feels now, if that day never comes I wish her eternal happiness and joy in her life as I am not selfish to stand in the way of that. Goodbye baby. You weren't a mistake. The only mistake was letting you go. There will always be a part of me that loves you. Always. God bless The 1975
4 years ago, I used to listen to this song, and I felt so trashy. I hated myself since I've always been the second option. Now, it's been a while, and RUclips recommended it to me again. But now, since I met the one, my hair started to smell good and I no longer wait for a sign outside the door . He laughs at my jokes and loves them, and I do make him both hard and weak . This man healed my inner soul ❤

It’s so crazy reading the comments about all these stories and realizing that all these people are real and reading it feels like I’m listening to them telling me these stories face to face and we are all here connected because of this one song
Lyrics: And be my mistake Then turn out the light She bought me those jeans The ones you like I don't want to hug I just want to sleep The smell of your hair Reminds me of her feet So don't wait outside my hotel room Just wait till I give you a sign 'Cause I get lonesome sometimes Save all the jokes you're going to make Whilst I see how much drink I can take Then be my mistake I shouldn't have called 'Cause we shouldn't speak You do make me hard But she makes me weak And don't wait outside my hotel room Just wait till I give you a sign 'Cause I get lonesome sometimes And save all the jokes you're going to make Whilst I see how much drink I can take Then be my mistake
Guys. Be good to each other. Think before you choose your partner. Discuss before getting into a relationship. Discuss even before having casual sex. Be honest. It hurts to be left, it hurts for life. A permanent hole never to be filled. Love with caution. It is a dangerous beautiful thing. ☮️
Verse 1] And be my mistake Then turn out the light She bought me those jeans The ones you like I don't want to hug I just want to sleep The smell of your hair Reminds me of her feet [Pre Chorus] So, don't wait outside my hotel room Just wait till I give you a sign 'Cause I get lonesome sometimes [Chorus] Save all the jokes you're going to make Whilst I see how much drink I can take Then be my mistake [Verse 2] I shouldn't have called 'Cause we shouldn't speak You do make me hard But she makes me weak [Pre Chorus] And don't wait outside my hotel room Just wait till I give you a sign 'Cause I get lonesome sometimes [Chorus] And save all the jokes you're going to make Whilst I see how much drink I can take Then be my mistake
this hits different when we were both each other’s mistakes. entering a relationship, but never really moving on from the people we last had relationships with. glad we ended it early.
This is the most vulnerable and important song on the album in my opinion. Also it is a huge turning point for the whole record. I feel like without the pain from "be my mistake" there wouldn't be the lesson from "sincerity is scary" to just be honest and have the bravery to be "human" in this life. And without the lesson from "sincerity is scary" there wouldn't be the insight from "I couldn't be more in love" and most of all the bravery to actually admit that insight. And without that, there wouldn't be the hopeful approach about the topic in "I always wanna die (sometimes)", because love is the only thing that makes "the human experience" woth it. Basically: This whole album needed "be my mistake" to evolve the way it did.
He introduced me to this song and to this band. I remember I cried the moment I heard those lyrics, needless to say I was the mistake. He isn't in my life anymore but every once in a while I come back to this video because it feels weirdly nice to reminisce those days that are too far gone now.
I was the mistake. They were struggling with long distance and weren't doing well. We started dating after they broke up. Then a few months later, she came back. He told me he loved me but boy, was he in love with her. I could tell she was the love of his life, and me... I was just the mistake.
this sounds like your very first heart-broken from love, the very first experience where you never know it would hurt that much, the very first love where you thought it would last long than you expected, the very first romance that made your life happy, very first kisses, very first hugs and very first romances. and after all that happened, u became lonely and weak yet you survive each day and try to be happy and hoping you would find love again just like the other one that has gone.
I was the mistake. But I didn't know until it was over, he broke it off because she wanted to get back together with him. Before he left he explained everything about how she loves this girl and that he would dropped everything for her even after she had broken his heart a million times. The worst thing about this is that since we worked really well together I genuinely thought that we were soulmates (I still do) the only problem is that.. I wasn't her. "You're just like her but you're not her" is a sentence I will never forget.
Yeah. If he doesn't want to perform this live I totally understand. When I saw them two years ago at Red Rocks he barely made it through She Lays Down. So just do what makes you happy Matty. I'm sure it'll be a great show regardless.
Gosh, yeah it plays on my mind too! These deeply personal and emotionally draining songs . I know sincerity is scary, but sincerity is also draining, and to try and be sincere all the time and at that intensity. Oh god. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Besides an emotional and overwhelming song, this comments section also gives us such poignant and relatable stories and empathetic individuals. Makes me keep coming back to read through all of them.
Being the mistake of someone who made you feel so comfortable in his company and then being left behind because he is "thinking in someone else" someone he will never forget, it's just heartbreaking.
imagine a childhood friend play guitar and sing this song at the campfire where you and other friends sat circling the campfire. both of you trapped into friendzone since long ago but you can't really tell yourself whether its love or not. you and your friend sat across. he sometimes stole glance with you and smile when you both make an eye contact while the part he sang is 'then be my mistake'
I came here because @JeffSatur recommended this song, but after carefully listening to it, I know that I will stay and stan The 1975 because this song is a piece of art. Love it! ❤️
The first time i heard this song, i even said reminds me of “102” ... that was before i listened to the lyrics. Funny they were released in the same space, same week. The boys truly are trying to kill us
The 1975's 'Be my mistake' is just the scenario if Joji's 'glimpse in us' was made for the current lover, who's being used by him to get over instead of for the past lover he's holding on to. And nobody can convince me otherwise.
They may not be, if this is the case, just simply youtube to mp3 convert it, and you can add an album cover and specific song name/title for aesthetics
we always see the heartbreak of the one who was cheated on / left, but we rarely consider the heartbreak of the 'mistake'. this song makes me consider how hard it is to be a mistake
"the smell of your hair reminds me of her feet"..."you do make me hard but she makes me weak" are my absolute favorite lines ever. i feel like without the context of the song youd find them funny but they just juxtapose the two people so greatly and somehow come across as beautiful. i adore this song. so much.
Being the mistake hits different after hearing this, no one plans to be the mistake, just happens when you feel much for someone not available,,,, we are not always a mistake
Listening to this at 2:30 am..with a cancelled flight to the Philippines and anxious about Covid-19.. and with an absolut vodka in hand. Way to end a very bad day. I love you 1975
I let go of this wonderful woman who loved me more than anything in this world. I'm dumb, I got too cocky and been too much of someone who I never thought I'd be. I loved her, more than I thought I would. When I realized how much she meant to me it's too late. Someone already took my place. It's sad and happy at the same time, because I can see the sweetness in her smiles, but it's sad because those smiles aren't because of me anymore. Every time I try to be with someone else, I feel like I'm cheating on her even if it's long over. I feel guilty because the relationships I had after her didn't work out. I tried to love again, I tried to make things work with someone else. But now, it's hard for someone to make me feel something. So guys and girls, if you love someone and they love you back don't let go. You'll only know how much they mean to you when they're gone. Don't be like me. Don't do the same mistake.
To forget is to kill part of your own life. Remember the warmth and the good and rejoice. Be thankful for the time you had together. Know that there are other loves to yet experience if you do not become afraid.
@@fallsdp that's not how it works if the time you spent together was wrong, even if it felt right, you just need to forget, maybe not him but the feelings (sorry my english is quite bad)
@@starreaper_ Human interactions are rarely so binary. I did not advocate REPEATING a mistake..... I said remember - or you make the mistake again. I also said treasure the feelings and the experience on it's own merits. Another human is another human....
And be my mistake And turn out the light She bought me those jeans The ones you like I don't wanna hug I just wanna sleep The smell of your hair Reminds me of her feet So don't wait outside my hotel room Just wait 'til I give you a sign 'Cause I get lonesome sometimes Save all the jokes you're gonna make While I see how much drink I can take Then be my mistake I shouldn't have called 'Cause we shouldn't speak You do make me hard But she makes me weak And don't wait outside my hotel room Just wait 'til I give you a sign 'Cause I get lonesome sometimes Save all the jokes you're gonna make While I see how much drink I can take Then be my mistake
When you did everything to make him feel all the love in the world, but at the end of the day all those efforts go to waste just because you're the mistake.
This is literally the most broken-hearted song I've ever heard. And I know I tend to say this about a lot of songs, but this time it's forever. So heartfelt. So much grief. I'm crying.
This perspective is really interesting. It's complex and sorrowful. I love when I don't need to root for anyone and the art just lets me experience emotions and feelings.
I have never cried in a song in a while until I listened to this. and I still do this day. 😢 I hope to see you all one day. Im sobbing because I missed your show in Manila. Hope you all comeback! 😭😭
This is the most special and personal song on ABIIOR in my opinion and a huge turning point for the whole album.The feat Matty pulled off in this song is that you empathize with all 3 parties involved. You feel for "the girlfriend" because she gets cheated on despite truly loving the man (Matty). But you also do feel bad for the other woman (or maybe women) he uses just to ease his pain from time to time. He doesn't really treat her (or any of them) as a self-contained, living human with her (or their) own feelings, needs and wants and that never feels good to anyone. And you can feel that deep down the man himself feels like that it's not fair to use someone solely for your own pleasure or conveniences without being able to give something back emotionally to that person. And in the end you also do feel empathy for "the cheater" because most of us know the feeling of hurting so much inside, you do things against your own morals to ease the pain inside you, cause you find some relieve from that pain in these short-lived moments of satisfaction.. No one likes to suffer, that's pretty human I think. But you do understand that he truly loves "the girlfriend" he just isn't strong enough sometimes to not give into his own demons. I think we all can relate to that to a certain extent, because we all fuck up sometimes and have hurt somebody without wanting to. The song shows you all "3 angles" of the topic of "cheating": the cheater, the cheated on, and the cheated with. In the end you just understand and feel the pain from all of them and that's something really special in my opinion. But without the pain in "be my mistake" there would have never been the lesson from "sincerity is scary" to just be honest and have the bravery to be "human" in this life. Without that lesson from "sincerity is scary" there wouldn't be the insight from "I couldn't be more in love" and most of all the bravery to actually admit that insight and without that, there wouldn't be the hopeful approach about the topic in "I always wanna die (sometimes)", because love is the only thing that makes "the human experience" woth it! Basically: This whole album needed "be my mistake" to evolve the way it did.
It's 2am. I feel so blank while listening to this song. It now makes me realise how cold hearted I've become over the years. There was a time when I would have tears in my eyes whenever this song played and today, I just feel emotionless. I hope I overcome whatever this is. Bahut ho gaya ab. I wanna be emotional again.
I had to cut the love of my life. The distance was to great and I was the only one trying to make it work. This song hits me hard. Maybe she was my mistake, or maybe I was hers.
this song always messes me up, it reminds me of all the good times. i listened to it whenever he’d upset me or when he’d break my heart over and over again, and now i listen to it with a final broken heart. i miss him, but now i don’t want him back. it’s a toxic kind of missing someone like sometimes late at night my body screams for him to be near but most of the time it is praising me for not being with him anymore
you can see how emotional he gets when he sings. its truly ads to the song. although i may not understand his perspective, but i interpreted it to suit me without realising. a true masterpiece.

Lmao so true
I have. His kisses on me would feel like an electrical charge running through my body.
This guy has never been in love, lol, maybe infatuation.

Please don't EVER make someone feel like a mistake.
Too late..im sorry…
Already did hahaha
and dont EVER give space to make that mistake!

its 2 am rn, in my country
5am
when you're listening to this but you're the other girl and not the one he's in love with is another level of heartbreak
“the smell of your hair reminds me of her feet”
basically the other girls best feature cant even compare to the worst feature of the girl who he truly loves
I wasn't able to enjoy this song precisely because of that line. Made no sense to me. Now it does! Thanks a lot.

So this song is about cheating then
so sad

And be my mistake
And turn out the light
She bought me those jeans
The ones you like
I don't wanna hug
I just wanna sleep
The smell of your hair
Reminds me of her feet
So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
I shouldn't have called
'Cause we shouldn't speak
You do make me hard
But she makes me weak…

I let go of the love of my life, together over 5 years 4 months ago. Went from teenagers to adults together. She was an absolute diamond in the rough and always believed in me. She held me through depression despite it being so difficult for her. She gave me some of the happiest memories and experiences that I'll forever cherish until the day I die. We both loved this band and saw them multiple times together, robbers was our love song. I'm hoping one day in the future we will reconcile despite how she feels now, if that day never comes I wish her eternal happiness and joy in her life as I am not selfish to stand in the way of that.
Goodbye baby. You weren't a mistake. The only mistake was letting you go. There will always be a part of me that loves you. Always.
God bless The 1975
4 years ago, I used to listen to this song, and I felt so trashy. I hated myself since I've always been the second option. Now, it's been a while, and RUclips recommended it to me again. But now, since I met the one, my hair started to smell good and I no longer wait for a sign outside the door . He laughs at my jokes and loves them, and I do make him both hard and weak . This man healed my inner soul ❤
I’m not crying you are

Yes, yes I am 😂
Sure am
yeah u right
so you really gonna release 102 acoustic and be my mistake acoustic in the space of a week and think we’ll be fine

They know most won't be fine but that's part of the fun, emotionally crippling a generation with the truth
omg they know what they're doing to us
we rly aren’t 😩
" Some men are like that with that first great love. Their heart breaks and the pieces never fit back together quite the same way "

It’s so crazy reading the comments about all these stories and realizing that all these people are real and reading it feels like I’m listening to them telling me these stories face to face and we are all here connected because of this one song
3 people on the bus, 2 earphones in i'm crossing my arms cuddled in my sweater & it's pouring rain. a sad heaven

Imagine being able to ride the bus

Ugh that's perfection 💯💯😭👌🏻
Lyrics:
And be my mistake
Then turn out the light
She bought me those jeans
The ones you like
I don't want to hug
I just want to sleep
The smell of your hair
Reminds me of her feet
So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait till I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're going to make
Whilst I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
I shouldn't have called
'Cause we shouldn't speak
You do make me hard
But she makes me weak
And don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait till I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
And save all the jokes you're going to make
Whilst I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
You've got a few small mistakes mate.
Thanks for the lyrics
Thanks🤗
.
Nice song but awful lyrics.
Guys. Be good to each other. Think before you choose your partner. Discuss before getting into a relationship. Discuss even before having casual sex. Be honest. It hurts to be left, it hurts for life. A permanent hole never to be filled. Love with caution. It is a dangerous beautiful thing. ☮️
Dear strangers - you have a good taste in music
You too
"save all the jokes you're gonna make. while i see how much drink i can take then be my mistake."
lol, i'm hurt.
Kiara Ituriaga right in the feels
Idk why, but that part legit stabbed right thru my heart
Whats the meaning??
Laldin Puii he can’t take her jokes or her personality in general unless he’s drinking. he’s just attracted to her body and looks.
damn it💔💔💔
hard to be someone's mistake when they are all you ever wanted.
Bad girl is a mistake I think 👀 Lol.
I FEEL THISSS
I feel you :(((
Anahita Hassanzade ouch
vivcvfx
Years of loving this person but he always love someone else. I've always have been there for him even if he's dying now but he's still into her.
u deserve better🥺🥺🥺
U deserve to be happy. Love is a two way relationship. :)
girl you're doing greaaat!!!!
hope ur doing better after almost a year
damn same feels
People watching this like :-

This is so accuratr
Verse 1]
And be my mistake

So, don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait till I give you a sign

But she makes me weak
Thank you ❤️
I thought it was I don't want to hurt not hug but I could be hearing it wrong
😢
Even matty’s sniffs are beautiful
this hits different when we were both each other’s mistakes. entering a relationship, but never really moving on from the people we last had relationships with. glad we ended it early.
When the comment section is as heartbreaking as the song
This is honestly so beautiful I wish I could tattoo it on my forehead
What’s stopping you
Lewis I don’t have any money
Lewis hahaha you're mean
Do a stick an poke one
Same
This is the most vulnerable and important song on the album in my opinion. Also it is a huge turning point for the whole record. I feel like without the pain from "be my mistake" there wouldn't be the lesson from "sincerity is scary" to just be honest and have the bravery to be "human" in this life. And without the lesson from "sincerity is scary" there wouldn't be the insight from "I couldn't be more in love" and most of all the bravery to actually admit that insight. And without that, there wouldn't be the hopeful approach about the topic in "I always wanna die (sometimes)", because love is the only thing that makes "the human experience" woth it. Basically: This whole album needed "be my mistake" to evolve the way it did.
Wiwi Wonka Excellent analysis!
Wiwi Wonka o really
He stole it from another artist...
A real artist

@@seabassseabass8835 it is similar, but definitely different. Thanks for the good song recantation tho!!
@@seabassseabass8835 how is this song "stolen from another artist" ? As far as i can see, they're completely different
He introduced me to this song and to this band. I remember I cried the moment I heard those lyrics, needless to say I was the mistake. He isn't in my life anymore but every once in a while I come back to this video because it feels weirdly nice to reminisce those days that are too far gone now.
This song is proof that you can use the same chord progressions over and over and still make incredibly beautiful and unique masterpieces.
I was the mistake. They were struggling with long distance and weren't doing well. We started dating after they broke up. Then a few months later, she came back. He told me he loved me but boy, was he in love with her. I could tell she was the love of his life, and me... I was just the mistake.
I can relate...
Omg this is me😭
I was a mistakes too sis. I feel you
ooof been there
Mee too. 😢 I just only knew after we broke up😭 wtf right?! 😢
his voice has so much emotion I'm gone I'm gonna jump
this sounds like your very first heart-broken from love, the very first experience where you never know it would hurt that much, the very first love where you thought it would last long than you expected, the very first romance that made your life happy, very first kisses, very first hugs and very first romances. and after all that happened, u became lonely and weak yet you survive each day and try to be happy and hoping you would find love again just like the other one that has gone.
that's sad🙁
@@hilichurl3809 i think so... i really haven't experienced any of those irl
I was the mistake. But I didn't know until it was over, he broke it off because she wanted to get back together with him. Before he left he explained everything about how she loves this girl and that he would dropped everything for her even after she had broken his heart a million times.
The worst thing about this is that since we worked really well together I genuinely thought that we were soulmates (I still do) the only problem is that.. I wasn't her.
"You're just like her but you're not her" is a sentence I will never forget.
you deserve better, love
:(
You definitely deserve better, girl
:((
i feel you girl ;'(
we really out here curing my anxiety w all these acoustic versions
Thank you Matty, very cool
Broken hearts round the globe come here everytime they miss their unsucessful love.
I WAS LITERALLY LISTENING TO THIS ON REPEAT. THANK YOU THE 1975, VERY COOL.
Do we even deserve this? Oh my.
we don't
I'm 51 and been so lonely from mistakes and now he has passed away 2 yrs ago. OMG do I miss him
Everyone feels like a mistake after you.
this is going to be one of the top comments so lemme be the first to reply
Yeah. If he doesn't want to perform this live I totally understand.
When I saw them two years ago at Red Rocks he barely made it through She Lays Down.
So just do what makes you happy Matty. I'm sure it'll be a great show regardless.
He did perform it live.
Gosh, yeah it plays on my mind too! These deeply personal and emotionally draining songs . I know sincerity is scary, but sincerity is also draining, and to try and be sincere all the time and at that intensity. Oh god. Do you understand what I'm saying?
i’m going to the red rocks show in april. i’m so excited.
he played it live for the first time this tour at my concert in glasgow, 12 jan 2019 🖤🖤
He played this in Lima, Peru. It wasn't on the setlist; so that, for us, was deeply meaningful.
Besides an emotional and overwhelming song, this comments section also gives us such poignant and relatable stories and empathetic individuals. Makes me keep coming back to read through all of them.
Being the mistake of someone who made you feel so comfortable in his company and then being left behind because he is "thinking in someone else" someone he will never forget, it's just heartbreaking.
legit
His friend says he still love his ex girlfriend, kinda hurts
i wonder what matty does with all of our wigs? this is absolutely beautiful.
a. kropka he dyed one orange and used it in the GYAT music video
@@aperson5188 he makes them into rugs for him to sleep on in his bunker home
It sure is... it's even more beautiful by Damien Rice... before he stole it from him.
ruclips.net/video/dRPwFAoQwxc/видео.html
imagine a childhood friend play guitar and sing this song at the campfire where you and other friends sat circling the campfire. both of you trapped into friendzone since long ago but you can't really tell yourself whether its love or not. you and your friend sat across. he sometimes stole glance with you and smile when you both make an eye contact while the part he sang is 'then be my mistake'
I came here because @JeffSatur recommended this song, but after carefully listening to it, I know that I will stay and stan The 1975 because this song is a piece of art. Love it! ❤️
The first time i heard this song, i even said reminds me of “102” ... that was before i listened to the lyrics. Funny they were released in the same space, same week. The boys truly are trying to kill us
102 is like 4 years old haha
I'm aware. I meant this new acoustic recording of both was released same week, in the same room
one of my favourite songs of ABIIOR, such clever lyrics and overall it's just beautiful.🖤
Damn, The " I just wanna sleep" line hits hard when you're tired and lonesome but still can't sleep because of self restlessness
The 1975's 'Be my mistake' is just the scenario if Joji's 'glimpse in us' was made for the current lover, who's being used by him to get over instead of for the past lover he's holding on to. And nobody can convince me otherwise.
*"You do make me hard but she makes me weak"*
*MASSIVE OOF*
are u from UP HAHA
mga potanginaaaaaa
hahahahahahaha gago
say it louder for the ones in the back!
@@strawberrybaby you can be, if its the with the right person.
this album is the only thing that matters and is literally the only thing getting me through this week
After being with him for a while, I realised I'm the other girl. He has never done anything to hurt me, but I'll never be enough.
This song hurts so good ❤
Okay, the ‘Everybody wants to be a billionare’ question is: WHEN IS THIS AND 102 GOING TO BE AVAIBLE ON ITUNES/SPOTIFY/APPLE MUSIC????
They may not be, if this is the case, just simply youtube to mp3 convert it, and you can add an album cover and specific song name/title for aesthetics
Amen to that
Initials EA I already did that to 102 lmao but it’s weird
Initials EA sorry but how do you do that?
Please I need both on iTunes!
we always see the heartbreak of the one who was cheated on / left, but we rarely consider the heartbreak of the 'mistake'. this song makes me consider how hard it is to be a mistake
it hurts like hell
who is the mistake?
wut. the mistake can go fuck themselves
ohhh fuck you mean the one that he's hooking up with who he doesn't care too much about??
"the smell of your hair reminds me of her feet"..."you do make me hard but she makes me weak" are my absolute favorite lines ever. i feel like without the context of the song youd find them funny but they just juxtapose the two people so greatly and somehow come across as beautiful. i adore this song. so much.
Being the mistake hits different after hearing this, no one plans to be the mistake, just happens when you feel much for someone not available,,,, we are not always a mistake
Can you release acoustic versions of all the songs in this album? That'll be a good Christmas present.
Yeaahhhh ify
YEESSS PLEASE!!!!
Huma H I’d love an acoustic version of everyone of their songs!
Listening to this at 2:30 am..with a cancelled flight to the Philippines and anxious about Covid-19.. and with an absolut vodka in hand. Way to end a very bad day. I love you 1975
Same got stuck in vietnam for 2 months now. I can't go home..
Keep holding. THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE BUDDY
Hope you made it back safely
Hope everything is ok! God bless!
Take care
Chicago, 12/9/12. Encore. New core memory formed, thanx Matt
I let go of this wonderful woman who loved me more than anything in this world. I'm dumb, I got too cocky and been too much of someone who I never thought I'd be. I loved her, more than I thought I would. When I realized how much she meant to me it's too late. Someone already took my place. It's sad and happy at the same time, because I can see the sweetness in her smiles, but it's sad because those smiles aren't because of me anymore. Every time I try to be with someone else, I feel like I'm cheating on her even if it's long over. I feel guilty because the relationships I had after her didn't work out. I tried to love again, I tried to make things work with someone else. But now, it's hard for someone to make me feel something.
So guys and girls, if you love someone and they love you back don't let go. You'll only know how much they mean to you when they're gone. Don't be like me. Don't do the same mistake.
this wet my eyes but i don’t mind it
i'm gonna ruin that line for you lool, its sounds like he's saying "you wet my ears"
coda dunno :(
@@LemonSte Actually, it sounds more like he says "You ate my ass"
Ur pfp matches ur comment lmfao
Hahaha and you are crying in your pic
I promise. I will forget you. Even if it take a long time. And I really hope you'll be happy.
To forget is to kill part of your own life. Remember the warmth and the good and rejoice. Be thankful for the time you had together. Know that there are other loves to yet experience if you do not become afraid.
@@fallsdp that's not how it works if the time you spent together was wrong, even if it felt right, you just need to forget, maybe not him but the feelings (sorry my english is quite bad)
:(
@@starreaper_ Human interactions are rarely so binary. I did not advocate REPEATING a mistake..... I said remember - or you make the mistake again. I also said treasure the feelings and the experience on it's own merits. Another human is another human....
It's really hard to forget someone when she has taken a part of you
And be my mistake
And turn out the light
She bought me those jeans
The ones you like
I don't wanna hug
I just wanna sleep
The smell of your hair
Reminds me of her feet
So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
I shouldn't have called
'Cause we shouldn't speak
You do make me hard
But she makes me weak
And don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
When you did everything to make him feel all the love in the world, but at the end of the day all those efforts go to waste just because you're the mistake.
“i feel like i’m having a heart-attack”
to this day this is still the cruelest song I've ever listened to.
This song amplifies every one of my feelings in the pit of my heart and it is both comforting and torturous
the vocals are so raw and real and so full of emotion and that's what makes it so much more beautiful
This is literally the most broken-hearted song I've ever heard.
And I know I tend to say this about a lot of songs, but this time it's forever.
So heartfelt. So much grief. I'm crying.
I think "I Can't Make You Love Me" is worst
Eric Clapton, tears in heaven, written for his son who died from a fall off a high rise bulding.
This perspective is really interesting. It's complex and sorrowful. I love when I don't need to root for anyone and the art just lets me experience emotions and feelings.
I have never cried in a song in a while until I listened to this. and I still do this day. 😢 I hope to see you all one day. Im sobbing because I missed your show in Manila. Hope you all comeback! 😭😭
This is the most special and personal song on ABIIOR in my opinion and a huge turning point for the whole album.The feat Matty pulled off in this song is that you empathize with all 3 parties involved. You feel for "the girlfriend" because she gets cheated on despite truly loving the man (Matty). But you also do feel bad for the other woman (or maybe women) he uses just to ease his pain from time to time. He doesn't really treat her (or any of them) as a self-contained, living human with her (or their) own feelings, needs and wants and that never feels good to anyone. And you can feel that deep down the man himself feels like that it's not fair to use someone solely for your own pleasure or conveniences without being able to give something back emotionally to that person. And in the end you also do feel empathy for "the cheater" because most of us know the feeling of hurting so much inside, you do things against your own morals to ease the pain inside you, cause you find some relieve from that pain in these short-lived moments of satisfaction.. No one likes to suffer, that's pretty human I think. But you do understand that he truly loves "the girlfriend" he just isn't strong enough sometimes to not give into his own demons. I think we all can relate to that to a certain extent, because we all fuck up sometimes and have hurt somebody without wanting to. The song shows you all "3 angles" of the topic of "cheating": the cheater, the cheated on, and the cheated with. In the end you just understand and feel the pain from all of them and that's something really special in my opinion.
But without the pain in "be my mistake" there would have never been the lesson from "sincerity is scary" to just be honest and have the bravery to be "human" in this life. Without that lesson from "sincerity is scary" there wouldn't be the insight from "I couldn't be more in love" and most of all the bravery to actually admit that insight and without that, there wouldn't be the hopeful approach about the topic in "I always wanna die (sometimes)", because love is the only thing that makes "the human experience" woth it! Basically: This whole album needed "be my mistake" to evolve the way it did.
Wiwi Wonka You’re something.
As beautiful as this is, I got that he's in love with a woman and trying to fill the void of not having her with a different woman.
*stands up and starts clapping slowly*
It's powerful stuff if it makes you feel bad for a guy who's cheating.
thank you
Like for antichrist acoustic
Omg... So true
I swear every time I come onto RUclips there’s a new 1975 video
Ellen D right?! We are witnessing a band in their prime it’s great
blakewatt3236 YYEEEEESSS
To be sincerely honest, I am loving it !! Aaaah
It's 2am. I feel so blank while listening to this song. It now makes me realise how cold hearted I've become over the years. There was a time when I would have tears in my eyes whenever this song played and today, I just feel emotionless. I hope I overcome whatever this is. Bahut ho gaya ab. I wanna be emotional again.
His voice gives me shivers... so pure
where was this album when I actually had someone to sing this to
same
ok this hurt
honestly
oof
Omfg........same....
He puts a lot of emotion in this song.
I had to cut the love of my life. The distance was to great and I was the only one trying to make it work. This song hits me hard. Maybe she was my mistake, or maybe I was hers.
I just can't imagine how hard it must be for Matty to sing this song
this song always messes me up, it reminds me of all the good times. i listened to it whenever he’d upset me or when he’d break my heart over and over again, and now i listen to it with a final broken heart. i miss him, but now i don’t want him back. it’s a toxic kind of missing someone like sometimes late at night my body screams for him to be near but most of the time it is praising me for not being with him anymore
Skye Mc i hope you find peace in your heart and someday love will find you because it knows you deserve it 🖤
Snowlie Isabella this is probably one of the nicest things anybody has ever said to me, thank you oml x
oh my god me too wtf girl
hey, i hope ur doing better now
cleo chan were talking again ahahah
you can see how emotional he gets when he sings. its truly ads to the song. although i may not understand his perspective, but i interpreted it to suit me without realising. a true masterpiece.
i come back to this video every now and then to get myself hurt all over again
Matty's voice is giving me butterflies in my stomach. 🦋🦋🦋 Acoustic version really hits different
