The 1975, Being Funny in A Foreign Land [๐Ÿ“ท: Dirty Hit]

โ€œDonโ€™t fuck it, you Muppet!โ€ Thatโ€™s one of many memorable lyrics from ๐ŸŽต โ€œIโ€™m In Love With Youโ€. โ€œIโ€™m In Love With Youโ€ arrives as the third single from ๐Ÿ’ฟ Being Funny In a Foreign Land, the 2022 studio album by ๐ŸŽ™ The 1975.ย  As the title suggests, ๐ŸŽ™ Matthew Healy is (or was) in love โ€“ heโ€™s found that special someone.ย  โ€œIโ€™m In Love With Youโ€ ends up being an interesting record.ย 

โ€œIโ€™m in love with you, I- I- I- I- I-โ€ฆโ€ Yeah, that repetitive line from the chorus gives it away, haha.ย  The chorus is the centerpiece, but the verses establish this relationship. ย Thereโ€™s never any doubt that Healy is in love himself (the audience is informed, obviously), but he has a difficult time expressing his feelings: โ€œOh, thereโ€™s something Iโ€™ve been meaning to / Say to you, baby / But I just canโ€™t do it.โ€ With instances of struggling to say it during the two verses, the second pre-chorus features another memorable set of lyrics: โ€œYou show me your / Black girl thing / Pretending that I know what it is (I wasnโ€™t listening) / I apologize, you meet my eyesโ€ฆโ€ Interesting! It seems that Healy is referencing his ex-girlfriend, ๐ŸŽ™ FKA twigs, who was black. Beyond that, those lyrics speak to cultural differences in interracial relationships, as well as some ineptness and naivety on Healyโ€™s part.ย  Those lyrics you can read in a number of different ways which is intriguing.


Final Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญย 

x o x oAfter analyzing ๐ŸŽต โ€œIโ€™m In Love With You,โ€ I was slightly more impressed with it. Upon initial listen, I found it to be respectable and enjoyable enough, but not earth-shattering.ย  All told, this is a relatable, worthwhile song about having trouble expressing feelings regarding love.ย  It wonโ€™t change your life, but itโ€™s worth checking out.ย  Again, โ€œDonโ€™t fuck it, you Muppet!โ€
