10 Songs By The 1975 You've Been Sleeping On

4. Fallingforyou

An instance of the band forgetting all notion of appropriate grammar, fallingforyou was initially only available to those who invested in the deluxe version of 'The 1975' album - or those who had bought the band's IV EP.

The song passes by in an instant, despite being four minutes in duration, as it swells in depth towards the cathartic screech: 'I don't wanna be your friend, I wanna kiss your neck' and it encapsulates a haunting mixture of angst, desire and the fear of rejection that the band continue to explore with every emotive release.

It boggles the mind when you realise that this B-Side has become an integral part of the band's live set despite not actually featuring on their core studio albums. Maybe it's testimony to the fan base that there's scarcely a live performance without this track but it's more likely The 1975 realised just how good this song really is.

You will not regret giving this one a listen, especially if you've just broken up with someone...
