- Matty Healy is known for his onstage antics and ironic performance of fame, but he’s always been somewhat guarded. On the 1975’s new album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, he leans into sincerity in a way he’s never done before. In this wide-ranging interview, he discussed everything from the transcendent power of music to his problem with the band Oasis.

certainly not
no thanks...over rated
No. Liam seems to have grown up a bit in the last decade. The last thing he needs is further exposure to that extremely nasty piece of work.
They are better apart.
One show. No album. No tour. Just one gig. Knock it on the head, and then never do it again.
When matty said “there’s a huge market of music for people who don’t like music” I started screaming in the car. It’s like that same exact sentence had been lodged in my mind for so long and he gave it the right words. Brilliantly said
every ed sheeran 'fan'
@@fortynicks5576 idk man the A team was pretty good
Can smb explain please what was meant im stupid
Like I didn’t watch the while interview
Or give me a timecode pls
i read your comment before i heard it in context and this makes so much sense i’ve never thought of it that way
@@user-zs8fc4sz5h he meant that there are artists that make music for people who aren’t really all that into music and need some background noise while they drive or work
I love how despite all his grandiose statements and ideas, the real foundation of all of Matty's creativity seem to stem from his deep connection to his bandmates and he constantly admits to this. They seem like such an awesome model for a modern band and that's probably why they just keep producing amazing albums!
I hope it never ends they're perfect
It is fantastic. They write such fantastic songs.
And that he's just a really nice boy too. Despite all the propaganda and stuff
@@kathrynmartin2983 Matty seems to really love what he is doing. It’s pretty obvious his obnoxious stuff is an act but the press falls for it. At the same time, we all have an obnoxious side we don’t really show to people. I know that I like to yell obscene sexual things at movies, usually horror movies but I got that from past girlfriends. It’s not something I really want to control. We all have that part of us. Overall they give so much to fans. As a gen Xer it’s also been a long time since a band had such a sense of style. Everything they do is so well thought out and smart.
@@kathrynmartin2983 Malcom Xs main msg to the world was that the media will have you supporting all the wrong ppl if you don't critically think and look closer, the acid tabs and alcohol isn't helping anyone
Hello to all the new fans and swifties who are finally giving this guy and his band a chance. Glad so many of you have discovered why we love him so much
With all the crap media outlets are trying to spew about him right now, I hope this video is the one people find. He seems like a kind-hearted person with a good soul.
Any time I start to see any of that hate I remove myself from that media. It's completely undeserved
He gets judged for things taken completely out of context. If they actually knew his history and his views of the world, and what he tries to do with music, they’d feel differently.
The comment about not wanting to price kids out of tickets sums The 1975 up. Despite all their success, they've managed to maintain the heart of why they make music and it's why fans have stuck around for 10 years. They get it.
When I bought my tickets for australia I was shocked at the cheap price. I’d just looked at tickets for the same venue for smaller artists and the tickets were like double the price as the 1975 tickets. It made me so happy to see that they cared about accessibility for all to come see their show.
it was still £70 for the O2 tickets in the UK 😭
@@alicedowntherabbithole06 It was £60 odd if I remember rightly but a fair bit of that was a Tickermaster booking fee. I may be wrong however. Even so, cheap as chips when you consider the money that goes into their shows
true the show was incredible and worth every penny, but I paid £55 on presale and £2 was booking fee, but a week before the show people were flogging resale tickets for over £200 it's ridiculous
i guess its just as they move to bigger venues, the price climbs up to be able to reap some cost back for the amount they probably spend on production costs. but at least they arent charging prices like the Elton John's, Billy Joel's of the world who are charging £100+ for a ticket.
but i remember going to see The 1975 when they charged 15 quid, and then a while later it climbed to £30+, and then this last show where they are now playing arena's it was like £46.50, so its steadily climbing up but also a lot of the charges are put on top from Ticketmaster which starts to make it seem extortionate for some gigs.
Thanks to all TS/Matty drama I became 1975 fan! Great music, great human being
me too
Same!
thank GOD that something good has come out of it... I am so sick of the hate Matty gets, cause he really is my favourite person ever and he's so bright and not at all anything the haters are saying. I am a Swiftie too but some Swifties are just too mean, I wish they watched the interviews with Matty because there everyone can see who he really is
Me too
Yes! ❤
people try to hate the man but watch interviews like this and you can’t.
yes you can
@@mikemccaine4229 did you actually watch it
@@mikemccaine4229 This video has under 50k views which means u must be interested in matty healy to watch it so what is the need for ur negativity
@@connorsweeney3858 Woah hang on a minute? I like Matty Healy! I think he is a very intelligent, genuine and talented guy. What are you on about? I never said I didn't like him?
@@olliebhag Of course I did. I love Matty.
I don't care whatever people say, but Matty is very intelligent. Period.
And quite handsome
genuinely, matty healy is one of the greatest living artists of our time. i've been a fan of the band for a decade now, and watching their growth as artists has been such a privelege. i saw the current show a few times, and the questions he encourages his audience to ask both of themselves and of the world/media/culture are revolutionary. the tour itself is revolutionary. it's frustrating to watch people mischaracterize him so much, but i think it's also because people are so used to artists who are too scared to make any real statements with their work. but what is the point of art if you're not pushing culture forward?
Lmao
@@joshua7734 Lmao U got SDE
This has to be a joke 🤣
Expressing yourself.. is a perfectly fine reason to make art !!
are you high? they’re just awful, on the nickleback awful scale
Not all swifties are hating on him. She got me here. I am staying for him. Love the 1975’s music and what they stand for. Thank you Taylor for introducing so many of us to their music.
me too
Me too, ttpd introduced me to Matty and the 1975 and I love them ❤
me too x
Dear god, I have been crushing on this man watching interviews from 2013 to now. I can also see how he's messy.
has to be my new favorite matty interview, i’ll never get tired of hearing this man just speak. i know he makes fun of himself for sounding pretentious but seriously he’s just so down to earth and real, and constantly showing us as fans how much he cares about us and how the band comes off to us. i love this man and this band more than life, thanks for giving us this
I absolutely agree w everything u just said ❤❤
"Great artists make you feel personally addressed"
This is my favorite interview/conversation I've ever gotten to witness. Especially the part beginning around the 31 minute mark. This is why I have and will always go to bat for this man and this band. He gets what it means to be a fan, and not in a precious or condescending way. To love something and have it actually mean something to you.
"I'm not gonna look away"
Thank you, Matty. We won't either.
Addendum: in light of the TAFS pod....I won't go to bat over that. 😅
This is one of my favorite interviews of Matty. Tom guided it brilliantly.
I love this guy and I've never met him. He just seems so authentic and vulnerable and thoughtful and poetic. Can't get enough of his music and his unabashed way of speaking what's in his heart.
Didn't he admit recently that it's all an act? I mean, he's an actor.
“We used to be defined by what we love not what we oppose” I love that! We should get back to that!! These guys are a great band!!
That line was actually in TS's 2019 album "I want to be defined by the thing that I love not the thing that I hate"
Daylight
18:19 - 20:00 is when Matty explained how he's always in character during the shows but in real life, he's not actually like that. My heart hurts seeing comments trying to hurt him. :(
I thought the same thing. I didn't knew about this but I kind of suspected it. It's so sad how fast people judge. Or more how fast people just write what they think.
I am a very new The 1975 fan and I will admit it’s because of Taylor and TTPD. I have so much respect for Matty after watching this interview. He’s very intelligent, articulate, funny and relatable. I can 100% see why she was in love with him for so long (and maybe still is? 🫣) Also the interviewer did a great job at letting him be himself and just chat. It felt like a genuine conversation rather than a “I have to do this to promote the album”.
“We made money to make music. We didn’t make music to make money.” That was so insightful to me and is likely the factor of why some bands/musicians have longevity and multiple successful works and why some bands don’t. The 1975 will always be, at their core, a group of boys who loved music so much they just never stopped.
Superb interview, he genuinely is hitting his and the bands absolute peak at the moment and it's superb to see, he's always so insightful and aware of the now while projecting to the future it's a joy to see and hear
i love how sincere he STILL is after all this time. His morals have always been the same and that is why time and time again this band has the support they do. We see it. We love it. Always have. I have grown up watching this band. And the love they have for each other has always been a constant.
I met Matty after they played at the Soma venue in San Diego when they were still pretty small back in 2014. He was so kind and friendly and chatted with us in the parking lot after the show. He signed my ticket and told me he liked my coat. I paid $25 for that ticket and I just feel so proud of them seeing how much they've grown over the years. He's just a really genuine guy and I'm so happy for the band.
I’m so jealous that you were able to meet him. He’s such an interesting person.
Matt is a serious intellectual who's emphathetic and passionate about his art and the state of the world. Such a humble, sensitive talent. Love It If We Make It is a monster. An extraordinary moment in songwriting. So timely, powerful and needed. It's exciting to see where his creativity continues to take him with 1975. Cheers! 😊❤
He is racist
Do you truly know what's in his heart? I don't think he's a racist and I'm black. He's made mistakes. He has taken accountability.
@@bangtanbangtan8338 and you're a surface level person
Whatever....¿
@@bangtanbangtan8338 Broooo, your commitment to this ignorance and lack of research is Fing boring at this point
Never heard of this Healy until Taylor. He seems interesting . I like the music
This interview sets the standard for what an interview to an artist should be. This is why art is so powerful
I'm a 62 year old Australian bloke who heard The 1975 a few years back and didn't follow up too closely. Last Sunday , my 20 year old son told me he was heading to Sydney to see them and it kind of jolted my memory and now I'm bingeing on their albums , live videos etc and this interview confirms what I already knew. This guy (and the band) is a genius. How four kids found each other and formed this incredible thing is awesome. The melodies, arrangements, the design of the live shows are just mind-blowing. The next time they are over here I'll be there for sure.
he is so eloquent its insane, i love the way his mind works
Can you point out a way he is? I do no see it whatsoever
He’s British that’s why
@@anonymouskrys you can dislike him but can't deny he has the ability to carry a conversation and keep it going forever just trying to make sense of things. Not a lot of people are like that
the 1975 are THE quintessential modern band and I feel so lucky to experience their art in real time. I am also jealous of future generations that will get to hear their whole catalog for the first time. Matty is the absolute best-- loved this interview
I have NOT heard the term "mardy", in that quaint 90's British slang/ colloquial way for such a long time almost 2 decades. That made me smile. I can definitely see his appeal now.
Northern word
Holy @#$! Cheers to the person doing the interview, so naturally invasive on a sensitive, kind, genuinely curious, level. Cheers to Matty for his authentic answers and deep thoughtful discussions. He talks of his band with such respect and comfort, loyalty, support and trust. This interview was full of mutual respect, trust , honesty and courage. I'm truly shook. I had last all hope in men until this beautiful display of kind and thoughtful discourse. Love, E
O my word. After watching this interview I can so see why Taylor would fall for him. He is amazing.
He’s intelligent and unflinchingly honest. She just might finally be looking for someone who challenges her. That could be a good thing.
Exactly! I wish more people could see that too 😢
he seems like the intelligent artsy dad that would parent kids with taylor
@@JasmineBellaI hope they take after her looks. He isn’t a good looking dude
@@BreakerOfChains219 well they'll definitely be tall lol.
I love when he talks about the duality of him on and off stage. On stage and sometimes in interviews he gets into character but I think in real life it's just like he said: soft and quiet. I wish many more people would look at things beyond the surface before jumping to conclusions.
I love him for being soft and quiet. Wish I could have a conversation like this one with him.
Matty Healy is truly a genious, has SO many things to say but still remains so humble in a way and authentic. He is so inspiring to me, as an artist but mostly as a human being. The interviewer did an incredible job, loved his questions and the pace of this convo!
As a swiftie watching this, this interview had Taylor written all over it. This early I bet they were having some sort of mutual understanding with each other already. “I want to be known for the things that I love, not the things that I hate”, honest earnestness in pop, a mention of jack Antonov, and Taylor swift and tickets. When he spoke, it felt like it was filtered with the glow of recently getting to know her again
Hearing them both speak about their art really makes me think they're together
That, or, this interview helps to see ‘the appeal’ even compatability of one to the other.
No, this is him and that is her, and it was what brought them together and why so many of us who appreciate them both were devastated - purely empathetically - when the potential beauty of that union fell apart.
Thanks Taylor! I now have a new favorite band. Love you too tho girl
I don’t either dislikes the other. that was much more of a fling than a relationship imo. I couldn’t ever take a Healy-Swift relationship seriously lol
I totally get it….as someone who knew nothing about him or the band, I realize just how dumb people are. He isn’t any of the things the media (swiftie generated) portray. Glad I did my own investigation! Love him.
Wish more people did that coz they probably still be together, maybe. He is beyond awesome, please watch more stuff about him, you will go down the rabbit hole so hard
What about what he did in Malaysia ? Guess he didn’t give a f about his Malaysian fans and their money. He’s self absorbed and disrespectful.
My husband and I went to see them in Belfast and he was so overwhelmed by how Matty talked about masculinity and the pressure of that and love and softness in male friend relationships. It really moved him and it moved me too. He is a fresh voice even if you don’t agree with everything he says I’m glad he’s talking about this. It’s getting men talking about their mental health for sure.
Matty has an excellent brain...this is not an interview, it's a revelation. Thanks Tom!
i love the way the interviewer always says when he doesnt understand and has matty elaborate more because sometimes he just doesn’t make sense on the first try
I kinda get it now Taylor
I get it even less I’m afraid…. He’s exactly what I thought
You need a doctor checkup
They only judge matty like a book cover but they never read him. Hes very deep musician hes brilliañt whenever he sharing his thoughts
It’s crazy how Matty said, “We’ve become defined by what we don’t like…we used to be defined by what we loved,” and on the last track of Taylor Swift’s album Lover, she says, “I want to be defined by the things I love…” 🤯
Whoa. Time stamp please!!
We were telling you this😭😭
This aged...in a way :)))
Matty saying at the end "I just chatted on this whole time" dude that's all I want, I've been a fan for years and I just want to hear what you think about, I want to hear you being a human and I feel more connected when you ramble on. Love you matty
I love how insightful all of Mattys interviews are. I wish he did more , I get why he doesn’t do them anymore but when he does it’s like that expression of looking into a window of his soul. He worries about his ranting but that’s the genuine parts of him that we as fans love. He goes on tangents about subjects because he truly cares about the topic . He’s wonderful. I’m glad it sounds like he has so much happiness in his day to day. That’s all us as fans want for him and the band. Amazing interview on both ends.
My husband and I are both illustrators, and I always love listening to Matty talk about creativity because it often transcends disciplines. Hearing a musician talking about creativity oddly helps me in my own world of art and design. He talks about a lot of things we've been talking about lately as well... and it's cool to feel like these ideas are in the zeitgeist.
Can we just appreciate the interviewer, he is on point. This is an honest journal of where matty is at with honest and invested questions. Hats off to you!
i could listen to him talk for ages. his sincerity and loveliness translates across the screen
Brilliant interview, somehow hearing Matty’s earnest thoughts about life and the band will never get old. Such a well spoken guy.
Totally understand why he ran once the swifties came after him. He cares about his band mates so much and it would have affected all of them.
dear god 12:26 he said what Taylor wrote in “Daylight” I want to be defined by the things that I love
there's so many parallels between him and Taylor I'm losing my mind
Finally “TS” hit the jackpot… brilliant man
Yes, not to be rude, BUT I always though she had horrible taste in men. All of these little douches 😂. He seems multifaceted and more complex that her others 🤔. He most likely can match her intelligence not saying someone like Tom hiddleston or Joe alwyn couldn't they were both very cultured as well.
Then clickbait media and unresearched media ruined it for them.. He has also been so great to the girls he dated, he would have treated her like a queen.
about that
i could just spend my whole life listening to him talking
dying that Matty always refers to the "kids" and the "17 year olds" when i'm a fully grown 35 year old woman and i'm sure i'm not alone in this lol. This was such a great interview!
56 here 😉
46 here along with my 16 almost 17 yr old who also loves them. I started out listening to them and my son grew up hearing them bc of that and now they’re his favorite band.
I’m 47… I first took my 14year old daughter 10 yrs ago to see them, and I’ve seen them 6 more times since , she’s 23 now and still we see them together! I love everything about them !
Love that Samm!! We went to see them for the first time in November and can’t wait to see them again! I can’t stop listening to them.
❤
He has the most stunning head of hair.
This is the Matty that Taylor fell for.
Yes I think so too
Taylor, I get it now
Can we make this viral and show em how brilliant is this man!
New 1975 fan here. I see why Taylor Swift is so obviously hung up on this guy.
" I want to be defined by the things I love. Not the things I hate. Not the things I'm afraid of." - Taylor Swift
I could hear him talk for literally years
Looked up an interview with Matty and Tom JUST yesterday and now it’s here. Manifested it. Big fan of the albums been a fan since 2013 or something haha🫶🏽🖤
Matty is lucky to have cohesive relationships with his bandmates. His intelligence & realness shines through in the interview.
I truly love listening to how their music has evolved & how they create. I love listening to Matty - too bad people outside of most 75 fans never see this side of the band/Matty outside of little viral soundbites.
he's very intellectual
He’s a pretentious rock star.
Love Matty’s eloquence, vocabulary and gift to keep you interested. Never been a humongous fan of The 1975’s work, I’ve always loved a few gems on every album but man he knows how to talk.
I think he is very intelligent their songs are catchy and he is a nice guy off the stage and passionate about what he believes in. His videos are amazing and not a million breakup songs on their albums I’m 55 and love this band
What a lovely chat you guys had. So laid back and chill, just bouncing thoughts off each other while going a little deeper into what makes Matty tick. I adore this man and the boys, I already know I’ll be an old man with joint pain one day and still vibe to their songs religiously, feeling thankful that they existed at the same moment in time as me.
I’m almost 50. Had a lot of “favorite” bands. This (and DMB) are my favorite bands. This interview is one of my favorites. Tom is incredible and Matty is just Matty, as always. Using one of his favorite words: juxtaposing today’s Matty with 2014 Matty in an interview are so different but beautifully the same. I couldn’t love this more.
seriously GREAT interview! i love how both Matty and the interviewer were both so vulnerable with each other! To be able to say "now slow down I don't understand when you said that" is so beneficial for not just clarity, but for a deeper seeking of understanding and sharing of knowledge and experience! Love love love!!!!!
thank you so much for this, this is such a great interview! matty’s so well spoken I could literally listen to him talk all day… I wish others who make judgements on his character from a 15 second tiktok video or a tweet would take a second to actually listen to what he has to say and the connection he feels towards the guys and his fans is so tangible and beautiful❤️
The way he describes songs being “unearthed” … I feel that exact way about Oh Caroline. It’s the perfect song! I remember thinking “How did this song not exist before this?”
This entire comment section is beyond wholesome and beautiful. Me just liking and nodding along to what everyone else has said. Literally taken the words from my brain.
So glad to see that after all the craziness on TikTok and Instagram. Just fans leaving wholesome and honest feedback :)
Thank you for this. This is probably the top 2 interviews I’ve ever seen with Matty. I loved that when you didn’t understand what he meant, you would actually pause and ask him. ❤
Actually I want to elaborate. I also really respect that you let him speak. You didn’t cut him off to get out what you wanted to ask. You let his thoughts and statements be the star. And you guys discussed some really interesting stuff. This was actually my favorite interview of Matty ever.
@@jeniferferris33 I completely agree with you here, I really liked this point as well
At the very end when he started talking about Oasis, I was like “I love him” Mad respect.
Love The 1975, glad he is not single anymore. Matty is a sweetheart. Only human...
as a fan I truly feel like the 1975’s music is unearthed. i get what hes saying, and he will never get that element of what we view their music as (because he’s the creator and not simply a fan)- how powerful and sentimental their music and art became and what it emotionally holds over millions of fans across the world and the mark it has in our lives. He knows we soundtracked (and soundtrack) our lives to it…as he said before. it is just incredibly unbelievable that its all real. he should be so proud! incredible interview.
I think this is my new favourite Matty interview, perfection.
Matty on a bad day is as honest and sincere as interview I have seen by any artist to date, and it's with no small help from you. Great. Stay safe J
It's so amazing and satisfying to feel an affection for a person when they were younger and finding out later they have developed into the truly fabulous person their early potential hunted at. Thank you for conducting the interview that allowed Matty to show that.
This is genuinely a fantastic interview. Matty Healy is a really insightful guy and this interviewer is excellent.
I so enjoyed listening to Matty's sincerity here.
So refreshing to listen to a young pop star be so open about his real feelings and thoughts, not trying to win popularity, or shy to speak his passion for music, especially when he brings up when something bigger than the artist takes over and a song transcends the listener to feel something they needed brought out. So free and articulate.
He gives his points of view openly, one can disagree, which makes opportunity for good discussion.
Phenomenal interview. One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen, very heartfelt
Great interview
this is the type of guy I fell hard for in the 80s, skinny poetic romantic stylish ,, talented musicians with working class English accents - Matty you make me wish I was 35 years younger again.
Me too! 😀
😂 girl , I feel the same way too!
i like the interveiwer , i can tell hes quite fond of matty like he respects him and theyre having a nice in depth chat
31:27 i totally agree with you here, if i was asked to choose like what my favourite album was by the 1975 it’s so difficult because they’ve been consistently incredible. different and new each time but consistently incredible
Thank you both for doing this. ❤️❤️ I just wish the conversation was longer. 🙂
Brilliant interview. What an amazing human being he is. Their shows are like nothing else I’ve seen before. It’s so refreshing to see someone care about music as much as he does.
This is absolutely brilliant. Loved the way this conversation flowed. Thank you!
This man never disappoints, amazing band and incredible frontman❤
i'm 19, i've loved music since i was a kid and i've JUST started listening to the 1975's music and interviews and i get so frustrated thinking i spent so much time and money idolising people who aren't even half as true as them. they're are worth every second that i spent listening, watching, learning about them. i unfortunately don't get so involved in having an idol and be a 'fangirl' or whatever, but i'm truly grateful to have found someone that speaks my mind and in which i can relate. plus Matty is a great person and i love listening to him talking !
I've been listening to Q for over a decade and getting to hear the musician who has changed my life more than any other speak to an East Coaster from my home and native land is such a collision of affections. Tom Power is amoung the most authentic interviewers currently in journalism, a beautiful representative of Canada, I could spend hours listening to him and Matty chat about the truths of being a human. For all my issues with the CBC, I am so grateful for this conversation.
it’s so refreshing to see tom genuinely interested in what matty is saying.
Matty going off on Liam and Noel was so refreshing. Anyone who's ever been an oasis fan has thought the exact same thing
I've listened to this interview three times. It's so good. Thank you to everyone involved
God, what a fucking incredible interview. Literally sobbing at the discussion of music being the closest thing to have to religion. Music is the only thing that makes me feel remotely "spiritual" and literally transcend. What a respectful conversation between two genuinely intelligent people, thank you so much for this
This is one of the best interviewers I’ve seen just for Matty. He digs deep with what Matt is trying to say and clarifies in a way that makes sense for a casual fan but also dings a lot of bells for any 1975 “true fan.” He puts him on the spot but not in a “click bait” kind of way just a journalist trying to get the best story kind of way. Good on you mate.
I just feel like Matty is the heart of the whole universe. It’s a pleasure to experience watching and observing the 1975 transforming the whole music industry. Love him and him with the band as a whole family 💕
This was just a straight up wonderful conversation to watch.
One of the best interviews of this era. Thanks so much ♥️
