And I actually realized that I think we'll always do that though, because it's like, Microsoft or Sega or PlayStation. Matty Healy: Yeah, that's a thing that I got asked like quite specifically the other day, about that and where that came from. George Daniel: Well not the title track, but the soft title: 'The 1975.'

George Daniel: I mean, people are always going to miss having that vocal in that track, but in our minds we were always kind of ready to move away from that, but to keep the concept of keeping the title track. But we have people like Greta on there, kind of laying it out as matter-of-fact as it is. Do you know what I mean? From an individual's perspective. Like this record is an actual record of what's being, I suppose, worried about right now. Matty Healy: Yeah, but I think now it is a slightly different world and the only thing that I do care about or that I do put thought into is the fact that in 1000 years if we're not here anymore, or if it's now, if we all die out now. Having that be so powerful right at the beginning. George Daniel: It would feel weird to take any sort of credit, well not credit, but to be like, 'Yeah it feels more powerful now.' Or maybe it will to some people, but we can't really think about that right now.ĭo you have any updated thoughts about having it stand alone, separate from the band's other title tracks? It feels kind of different listening to the record now that it's completed as a whole. You know what I mean? Like overnight, the world got worse because of this, but if overnight the world had gotten better somehow, then maybe the record would feel, or a track like Greta's, would feel weird. But I think, to be honest, in order for the record to not make sense, and to feel unjustified or to feel a bit scared, it would've, something on a global level like coronavirus that was positive would have had to happen. Matty Healy: The thing is, right, with this record, obviously there's an element of it feeling a bit like, you know it kind of prophesizes what is to come a little bit.

PAPER: I want to talk about the lead track, 'The 1975.' With Greta Thunberg's monologue and message, I wondered if you had any updated thoughts or a different perspective in light of the coronavirus outbreak.
