Listen To The 1975’s New Single ‘It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)’
Earlier this week, the band also shared a video for another new track, ‘Love It If We Made It’.
The 1975 have released ‘It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)’, the third single taken from their forthcoming album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships. The song made its debut as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record In The World on BBC Radio 1 and you can hear the song below.
Earlier this week, the band shared a video for another new track, ‘Love It If We Made It’ which was accompanied by a striking video shot by director TK. The band simultaneously announced the release of a major North American tour for 2019, with their shows kicking off in Guadalajara, Mexico, 20 March and concluding on 3 June in Toronto, Canada.
‘It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)’ sees The 1975 tackling typically dystopian themes – including the idea that we might just be living in a simulated reality.
“Danny says we’re living in a simulation But he works in a petrol station (selling petrol)/He says it all began with his operation/And I know you think you’re sly but you need some imagination”, the lyric begins.
The new track is also anchored by a chorus featuring that eponymous phrase: “All I do is sit and think about you If I knew what you’d do/ Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes. It’s not living if it’s not with you.”
The 1975’s new album, A Brief Enquiry Into Online Relationships, is due for release on 30 November and includes 15 tracks. Describing the new record, The 1975 singer Matty Healy previously told the NME: “Our first three albums are the story of a person; it’s always kind of been my story.
“It spanned adolescence to maturity, success and trying to mediate the two, and the third one is where we are now. I haven’t really decided the statement of where we are now yet. It’s sort of difficult to understand the present.”
