      +Armando Jerez I feel it means this....when u have deep family issues and came up a/around problem childs..sometimes ur on the outside looking in and it kills u even deeper to see your brother, sister, father, mother..go thru depression, addiction, And just overall hardship..so when I don't have an answer for your problems or others u turn to smoking ya problems away, drinking them away, getting high to balance out the lows..unfortunately we all have to deal w atleast one person in our family slowly self-inflicting killing their self..just my interpretation... god bless everyone though

    I remember when Matty played this song at the concert and he said something like this "I want this moment to be between me and you, put away your cellphones, and forget all the social media, because this is between us." -Matty H.
    I cry that night so hard.

  • @CheezyC

    When I first heard this song , I just kind of knew -knew that I had found a genuine band that was unlike any other . Then I heard the part when Matty goes “oh I was thinking about killing myself” and goosebumps raised on my skin ; a lot of people truly don't know what it's like to go home to a place you hate because everyone fights and it's so unbearable to be there . But I know what it's like . And honestly , there's some kind of relief knowing someone else shares the same problem . The 1975 is so fucking rad .

      That's actually so accurate. I use to be a heavy metal fan (Still am but just because of slipknot and a couple of others) but when I listened to this song, the very first I've listened to of The 1975, I fell in love with their music. This band is relatable and so unique. Love them.

      Corina Frenchy This song really just ties the knot...it seals the deal on how much you realize you love their music. Their range goes from 80s pop-like music to this beautiful instrumental ambience and soft vocals. It reaches every facet of your mind and your emotions. Fuck, you said it..they're amazing.

      +Colin Kurtzweil how is suicide bull? I'm sorry I just don't understand what you mean by that statement. I'm sorry to her about your addiction, hope you're doing well despite it. I also hope you never feel this low to see suicide as the only way out. I agree on the BMTH statement though ahah their older stuff is far better than their new album, saying that I'm going to their concert next month ahah!
      Thanks, I'm trying. Easier said than done I'm afraid.

    In the first half of the the song it feels like he’s saying “don’t you mind?” Like ‘do you even care?’ And the last half he’s saying “don’t you mind.” Like,, ‘don’t worry about it.’ And I don’t know what it is about that specifically, but it breaks me.

    Hadn't talked to my family in over 2 years, than I had an acid trip that really woke me up to eveything in my life, so I reached out to everybody and found out my mom is in a homeless shelter for women, my dad is badly addicted to drugs, and my sister is raising her 3 year old daughter by herself, and my brother moved to Oklahoma by himself to also get away from everything. I'm slowly but surely trying to make everything right again, and make sure everybody is taken care of even though I'm not totally where I wanna be in life myself. Its bands like the 1975 that really know how to bring out emotions in their music I swear.

      Justianna Harrison The relationship with my sister has taken a 180, we talk everyday, see each other more often, I help her with her kid whether its baby sitting or helping her with money or whatever and things are just really good between us. My dad I tried to help but I was too late, he ended up getting himself in trouble and now hes in prison. My mother is doing better, we helped find her a part time job at the local grocery store which she seems to enjoy, shes also out of the shelter and renting a room from an older couple I know from my job, so shes doing that and trying to save money so we can get her an apartment. Slowly but surely were putting the pieces back together.

    I listened to this song all the time during winter probably 2 years ago. I was in my grandparents house and every night i would listen to eps and album over and over. My mind was in a very dark place at that time. My dad was somewhere on a therapy, i was just happy that he wasnt there, and i could spent time with my grandparents without him abusing everyone while drunk. But somehow i couldnt be really happy. I was quiet, i was taking really long walks near the river with my dog, like 7h or less. I would cry, think, lay on the snow, talk with the dog. I had social anxiety at that time so being alone was my relief, i could be free. Whenever i listen to the eps or album i have this feeling that i had at that time. I just start to cry. The 1975 will always hold a special place in my heart.

      I was in a place like that about 3 years ago. I spent every single night walking around my town for maybe 5 or 6 hours. Every night, rain/snow/clear, didn't matter. My entire life was falling apart in front of me and all I could do was walk with my headphones in. The second I heard this song for the first time, It brought me right back down to that time of my life. Crazy how a simple song can do that to someone. Hope you're in a better place now.

    • @connormcdonald8233
      @connormcdonald8233 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I think I know what feeling you're talking about. The hollowness in your stomach like no matter what anyone said to you, you'd always be alone. The feeling that makes you stare at a spot on the wall and focus your attention on that empty void until it swallows you. Its that feeling that no matter how hard you try to fight it, it pushes the air from your lungs and all you can do is fold yourself up and cry. I can relate, but before my dad could get therapy, the alcohol killed him. Sometimes the only thing you can do to fix the hole is to force yourself into it. Gotta fight it. Just remember, your not alone.

    The lyrics in this song are so powerful it amazes me. Especially the "don't you mind"s throughout the song. I feel like it could be interpreted in so many ways. You could see it as a way of him reassuring someone that he's fine to make them feel better and to trivialize and dismiss his own feelings. Or you could see it as a question like he's asking someone if they care about him at all. Like don't you mind that I have all of these fears and sadness inside me? Do you even care? Idk it's just so meaningful to me. I like to think of it both ways

    • @chelseamcneil7810
      @chelseamcneil7810 8 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      Totally agree. At first I thought he was asking the people in his life these questions. But then I started thinking about the song in terms of him asking himself these questions. Like he's struggling with an immense amount of guilt over past actions. And feels saddened by his own self. Even the "I love you... don't you mind?" part makes sense if you think about it in terms of him struggling to feel satisfied with himself or struggling with self abuse. It just really hit home to think of it in that way.

    • @chelseamcneil7810
      @chelseamcneil7810 8 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Almost like he's shocked, apalled, depressed, and frustrated by his own carelessness and numbness to his situations. His life. It's like two halves of himself are struggling against eachother. Part of him justifies his actions or lack thereof "I'm sorry that I'd rather be getting high than watching my family die". Another part of him screams for him to wake up. To do what's right "Don't you mind?"

    I am a mother. My daughter introduced me to The 1975. This song & Is there Somebody Who Can Watch You, kill me. I can't listen to either. After listening to Me I told her that I understood why it was her favorite song & that I was sorry that I put her through the torture of seeing me get beaten by her father, repeatedly. And that I should've left him sooner...for her sake. Even as an adult, when I hear this song, it guts me.

      Curtis How can you hate those 'cliches'? As it doesn't matter what band or artist that person is talking about. Believe it or not but One Direction and Justin Bieber could have saved someone's life. Just because you don't like that certain band or artist, doesn't mean you can hate on those people. A band that has saved my life is Bring Me The Horizon, and I have been told that it's bullshit by people who don't like the band, but that doesn't mean they didnt. On another note, congratulations on meeting the band and I hope the best year of your life continues into the rest of your life.

    I thought the other day “how did I get through all those depressing years of 2013-2017?”
    Oh yea, The 1975. They were the soundtrack of my melancholy teenage years, every moment from dancing in my room at 3am to bawling my eyes out, to laying in bed numb, to smoking with friends in the car on the weekends...we played them nonstop. Soundtrack of my fucking life. This particular song cradled my hopeless self, I wouldn’t be able to recognize me back then. The ambience and haunting lyrics I held onto instead of actually acting on them. Music really did save me, this band did.

And i'm not afraid to say that i have anxiety . And go ahead call me stupid for thinking that i can't be depressed at my age . How do you know?

    The most beautiful part of this song is that on some type of level it's relatable to anyone.

    This song has a deep meaning to me.
    It reminds me of being happy as a child, before the naivety of my simpleminded bliss wore off, and I realized just how twisted my life was.
    The midnight car rides home, where I'd pretend to be asleep, but I was actually watching as we drove by the heavenly wooded meadows, glistening with fireflies. Those peaceful summer nights. How I wish I could get them back.
    Before my grandmother passed, oh how I wish I never took her for granted.
    Now when I hear this song, it's like the sad realization of my slow demise, as I lose sense of what my journey was in the first place.
    Like sitting in the rain, waiting for a bus to come, hoping of running away to start a new life, with barely the clothes on your back.
    Those nights of staying up late and wondering where the hell you went wrong, to end up here.
    Those nights where all you do is drink, and watch the shooting stars pass by, knowing the only thing you'd wish for is to be back home again.
    This song is like a solemn realization of everything bitter and everything sweet, in its finest form.

The song is just letting us know it understands the pain. We are all human and that makes me happy im not alone in this.

I don't know, its just, this song has an extremely deep meaning, as you can tell from the lyrics and I can't help but imagine these things through the perspective of the "characters" eyes. To me it sounds like an abusive father who has hurt his family countless times and is facing life in prison, but is apologizing for what he's done. As if he didn't realize how bad he was hurting them until now.
    Its just..deep

    I'm an old fart whose musical tastes have never stopped evolving with what is current. So sorry to say I'm not up with The 1975 and I must have loaded "Me" as a freebie from iTunes(?). While cleaning out my tunes, "Me" came up and I stopped... replayed it... and again... did a search for the lyrics... felt a bit like a high school kid all over again... back to 1975 when I was a high school senior... and then all the angst of the remaining years rushed through... I have to hear more. I have 5 files for my music: Dance&House, Departed (for funerals), Good4Me (good stuff), mPad (average pop to fit my iPad), and Resist (hate/empower/kickass)... "Me" is the first song to go on all 5 lists. But I'm just an old fart who probably doesn't get it... or maybe I do. ;)

      you are so awesome. I'm in my thirties, and I can't stand people even my age, or older, saying they hate the music nowadays or that the music is just not the same. They have probably only heard what they play on the radio or see on tv, which I agree most of it does suck. But there are still plenty great bands, you just have to search. The good stuff doesn't get recognized. Thank god or they'd overplay/overuse it!. Try third eye blind! They're one of my all time favorite bands. Or fountains of Wayne (not Stacey mom, their other stuff). I could go on forever.. Once again you rock!

      Karen Scinto Thanks Karen... Been a while since I've been able to sit at my "machines" and create and listen... old graphic designer here... I'm forever creating & updating my music and also blending my oldies... Hope I won't disappoint when I tell you I just listened to one of Zedd's recent mixes of "Find You" to last year's remix of Donna Summer's "Our Love" and throw in something soulful from P¡nk and then Ed Sheeran's "Sing"... Yeah, gotta dance even at my age... my dog is a little sick and I have to take my cancer-stricken dad for a few road trips for treatment... Not to mention outsider jerks making my life suck a bit... facebook.com/EdentonCottonMill?ref=hl So music does help this old fart. LOL! CHEERS!

      hurting the one person you have ever loved is like the worst feeling ever.. like a month ago I thought I had to post that "I didn't love him" so he could let go.. That maybe I would make myself believe it.. idk..

  • @milzumono
    @milzumono 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    "I put your mother through hell, don't you mind,
    I hurt your brother as well, don't you mind, don't you mind."
    When Matty says he put 'your' mother through hell, he's talking to himself. Matty has a brother Louis, which he hurt as well... He put his own family through hell.
    "Oh, I think I did something terrible to your body" which is talking about how he ruined himself through drugs. The song is called Me because he's admitting to all the things he has done. about how he hurt himself and others.
    An amazing song that can be interpreted in so many ways...this is why I love this band so much.

    • @HOMEBYENOON
      @HOMEBYENOON 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a good theory, but I'm pretty sure this is about Matty's parents splitting up and he's talking to his dad in this song.

      @r.osemary 8 ปีที่แล้ว +50

      +Angi G. I THOUGHT THAT TOO!! Like "I put your mother through hell" and "I hurt your brother as well" like he's saying he hurt his own family. "I did something terrible to your body" reminds me of his own substance abuse problems. "I love you, don't you mind" as if he's asking himself if he cares enough to fix his own life :( goodness gracious

      Before he plays this song at concerts before he sings he says, "this song is about me." and I'm guessing that's why the title is that. Because it's him.
