“i have like this really big ego, but this really lose sense of self-worth”
i feel that
I just can't add more, it's literally me
I can't-
400th like :)
That is too real geez
Low sense
That are some of the truest and most self reflective words that I can remember ever hearing.
This felt like watching a strange sort of therapy session with an audience watching
-Alex Sungtong - right? It wasn’t normal whay he was talkin about
I mean.... He's talking about his art.
What's he supposed to be talking about?
Absolutely....and that's part of why it was so great. So honest. The whole extended conversation about drugs was really interesting.
It seems he was incredibly honest about it here...the struggle with addiction...and all the boring cliches that come with that.
But also about how he _genuinely_ loves drugs. I mean...you'd have to be pretty sheltered, naive, or intellectually incurious to NOT find drugs, at a bare minimum, interesting. And so often these days, the de facto response to drugs is sanctimonious and tedious. Matty is WAY more honest about all of it. The bad...and good, of all of it. And nothing about "DRUGS" is black and white. It's damn near entirely gray. And Matty knows that....but also knows how tenuous it is to talk about it. But he does so anyway...at least in this interview. And I really respect that. And appreciate it personally. Everything he said makes perfect sense to me.
i thought the same when the interviewer asked “where do you think that anger is coming from” ahah but i the interview
this turned into a therapy session pretty quickly
poor dude is exhausted. hopefully they get some rest and cease touring for a bit after Notes
Quarantine has entered the chat 😂
@@myemodiaries901 yeah kind of a blessing in disguise huh
this comment did not age well
and so it was lmao
"I have a really big ego and a low sense of self-worth" that's one of the best introspective descriptions I've heard
she was hard hitting with the questions but I applaud her for being so quick with replies and the facts which overall made it a great interview👏🏽
Thank you Lexi, Truly
Pink-hair lady should resign from an interview job and become a therapist. Seriously
"Well you're doing great"
“living is frustrating “ wow
It makes me so sad he has taken the weight of the world upon his shoulders and I feel like he just needs a hug
Katy Kennedy right??
finding out matty actually hid it from his band mates is so whack. i always thought they dabbled in it but never as much as he did. this must be a really really personal thing for matty
Matt needs a lonnnggg break. From another Matt.. So you're good to go. Rest up bro.
wow honestly i hope the biodegradable USB idea actually comes true and every artists starts using it.
ivana I will keep my vinyl.
@@CMCguitars1 no one cares, get with the program dude
Really? Sounds idiotic. Much better to be long lasting.
@@maltelauridsbrigge3776 literally that is the exact opposite of the point
@@Not_Mii_Uus obviously I know, that's why I said it's incredibly stupid. I didn't need to pretend you don't understand English, simply resource management.
Do you think the only problem with fast food containers is they don't biodegrade? If they did, you'd say that's better than plates and cups and silverware that last generations?
What do you think is better for the environment, if your car decomposes after every single time driven? Or after 200 years???
I gave you a good hint there. Ask a scientist to tally up your resources used if feeling the need to think other don't get the question if disagreeing with you.
As someone around Matty's age....who's also dealt with drug issues in my life....I hugely appreciate how open and HONEST he is about his own life.
I especially love that he's not one of those ridiculous people who confidently assert that drugs are objectively bad.
Actually, drugs are....amazing. They're basically the best thing that exists in reality. THAT is why people get hooked. People get addicted....because of how GREAT drugs are, not because of how awful they are. The awful part is running out...or withdrawing...or getting caught...and all the shit that comes with that.
Man im glad you said that, too true.
Um, idk heroins a pretty cruel jailer.
@@yourstruly1232 The addiction is. Or rather...the withdrawal is. The actual experience? Assuming you have an unlimited supply that's 100% pure? I can't think of many things in life better than that scenario. But.... withdrawal is so SO excruciating, that the constant fear of knowing that reckoning will eventually come...makes it very hard to enjoy the good parts for too long. I still shudder when I remember the aching gnawing excruciating discomfort in my limbs and stomach. Being more tired than you've ever been in your life...but getting utterly incapable of falling asleep. Yeah...it's a blast lol... 😔
matty has such a asmr voice. good night
He looks and sounds so tired. He needs to rest. We don't wanna lose him.
4:47-5:50 yes. Matty is smart, informed, engaged, and motivated to use his art/music/platform to make a difference. Big respect. PEOPLE is f*ing amazing.
Wow, this comment has aged poorly lmao. I still like Matty's music, but it started to make me realize he was a braindead moron like most "artists".
Matty sitting with his guitar having a therapy session. ❤️
It's funny.....Matty damn near always looks _super_ hungover/sleep-deprived/depressed.
And yet....he's incredibly attractive. And....intellectually, a very positive hopeful forward-thinking human being.
He's quite the riddle. And that, among other reasons, is why I think he's such an interesting artist/musician to follow. His words have weight. He cares.
when he said radioactive woah woah woah hahahaha
i literally laugh out so loud even if I like radioactive

@@stickird915 dude that is such a great description
@@stickird915 dude please do i'm geniunely intrigued
matty is something else
wish i could peak into his mind
Sometimes when I listen to an interview with Matty I have to go back and re-listen like how did we go from this to this? What was the original question again? Haha I love it
Rachel Wainwright shit i thought my English is bad lol
@@NoDramaAllowed idk if you're talking about me or Matty, but neither of us are bad at English. He just gets on a tangent a lot. I don't think it's a bad thing; it's very stream of consciousness, less rehearsed.
@@NoDramaAllowed your English is bad
Rachel Wainwright ya that’s what i meant like he suddenly opens another unrelated subject
tobias xd how ? Is that thanks
This is probably one of the purest interviews with Matty tbh
I appreciate the honesty and realness in which he expresses his humanity. Thats more needed now than ever in our day and age and my generation.
I really like this guy- glad he is open and honest about issues that many families/people deal with. He is using his celebrity for an open conversation. Lost so many who were fabulous and talented - hoping he can stay clean. Really good interview.
The usb idea is so incredible ✨🦋 🧡
see here’s the problem- you’re all getting offended about what matty said about imagine dragons when it has nothing to do with you? let the band feel offended. i understand what matty is saying, but i also understand that it was unwarranted.
matty is literally about to play the whole time lol he's just like on the edge of beginning every second
As a recovering heroin addict of 3 years everything he’s said about dreaming about using and even bringing up the word heroin is so true and spot on ... to this day only about 5 people in my life know what iv gone through just because I’m so afraid of the stigma that comes with it
This interview just hit me. Matty is so sincere, so real, so down to earth and so open about everything. The part about his drug addiction I just was sitting and listening and feeling him, his pain, God knows only what hell he’s been through and I am so happy for him that he could fight his demons, at least the most dangerous and hard ones. I wish him nothing but all the best in this life. He is special. He is fragile like an expensive porcelain cup, he needs more good people around him who will always support him and protect him. 💜
Wow this interview really hit me, huge respect for Matty x
I don’t usually agree with Matty politicaly but he made a lot of HUGE points there is no need for things like cds and the such in todays musical landscape not only that but the mainstream media cares to much about pushing there biased agenda that they don’t care about the things in front of us like the amazon forest fire happening right now that I only know about because of people in Instagram
Likewise. I don't concur with most of his political ideals, but i respect him speaking his voice compared to most other celebrities because he actually seems to care about his beliefs & not just spout off his ideas to stay relevant in culture. You can tell the lad just wants to find truth, but life's been a bit of a rollercoaster for him.
are you a bloody tory?
@@MiguelLopez-fs3ll always one isn’t there
I love how honest and real he is
What a great interview, seriously well done Lauren.
Matty Healy is such an awesome guy, I love the way he thinks
He is a breathtakingly honest, open, thoughtful interviewee. Really remarkable.
I'm so impressed by this kiddo's honesty and grace. Oh, and he's a fantastic artist.
More individual than we used to be, because we each have individual screens. Amazingly true point. That statement rings immensely true about so many of the odds were against today. Whether anyone agrees or not, this guy's passion, on and off the stage, is inspiring.
His touch, on his addictions, and honesty, was humbling for me.
Even his talking voice is amazing
This is one of my favorite Matty interviews.....and I come back to it often.
He's very smart....very aware...and very existential in how he thinks. He's ALSO very charming and charismatic and outgoing and down for a laugh.
But not here. In this....he's hungover, or high, or tired, or all three. And he's just kinda....talking. And I love it. Because I've so been there. Hell, I'm kinda there tonight, right now. Tomorrow I'll be all bright eyed and bushy tailed....ready for the day. But right now? I'm a bit.....mired in my own mind.
And I really appreciate Matty for being so honest about wherever he's at....at any given moment. He doesn't BS....he just is who he is at that time.
There's plenty of interviews where he's got the charisma and charm turned up to 11. He knows how to do that.
But this interview....is not that. And I love it for that reason. It's honest.
Such a great interview, thanks for uploading!
I love his honesty towards everything
So vulnerable 🙌❤ and love how talented he is!
I could listen to him talk about anything ever. He could talk about anything and it would sound like the most important thing in the world. Not even that he just has a nice voice but he is so intellectual and everything has such a deeper meaning than just being what’s on the surface. I would love a podcast for real.
Michael do you know anything about this person? watch other interviews. he’s extremely well spoken and using filler words doesn’t change that. play 7 shows in a row and do an entire interview without any hesitation in answers.
Thank you very much!! Love to u Matty!
Damn this was powerful to watch, very honest and empathetic person. I’ll have to really take some time to listen to this band.
how have i never seen this interview? i feel like i just watched a therapy session this interviewer is amazing
someone please give him a nap and a hug
i love matthew healy so much. let’s keep him matthew healthy
This was a very good interview

i envy the way his mind works. he has this hyper-awareness to the world around him that makes him so interesting.
I just love this group and their songs actually have depth and meaning i love it if we made it too matt this earth cant take much more humanity has failed us unfortunately thankgod for groups like you speaking the truth and getting the message out there
I'm in love with that outfit, especially the jumper...so cute
This is such a pure and honest interview. It does make me sad he still seems so tortured by his own state of mind.
Hopefully, he’ll keep fighting and doesn’t burn himself out with this two year tour.
I am so in love with Matty Healy 😍
comfort interview
I really like his candor.
The way I’ve always seen artists who go through drug use while making albums, and then they become fully sober for other albums, it’s a journey. Music is all about the journey, and to be able to see the evolution of an artist that comes out of an addiction, and how it affects the music, it’s baffling.
His reaction and smile when they discuss whether he's cool :) Beautiful
I WATXH THIS SO MUCH I LOVE THIS LADYS VOICE
"I got this guitar from Chicago" ♥️
Woooaaah he's from Newcastle no way I didn't know that, hell yeah!
the hatred on both sides of this argument is heartbreaking. whether or not either band makes good music is your opinion, guys. they are both very different bands with different sounds. there's nothing wrong with liking imagine dragons, just as there's nothing wrong with liking the 1975. lets just accept our differences and show some compassion for each other
maggie is mr. struggle 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
OMG, I love him SO MUCH!!!
I think Matt was right at a point. Imagine Dragons can't be void of criticism. They have grown out to be a huge band and there will be some people like Matt who won't like their music or won't find any deeper messages in it. They just need to stick to their music and their work. They're doing great. And ID need giving no explanation to any one else. They should remember that With Success Comes The Hate.
The audacity to think that Dan from imagine dragons started his work with lgbtq issues because of matty healy is unbelievable
it absolutely is, dans been endlessly supporting the lgbtq community for so long and has done so much for them, why can't we talk about that??
@@trumanslack
Re-read Bob's comment.
Exactly 😂😂😂
@@zeffiexx reading comprehension is a dying art.
NewGoldStandard - I mean... he is saying that "it is audacious to think that Dan from Imagine Dragons only started his work with LGBTQ issues..." etc. How else do you read it?
But you’re even cooler now that you’re clean, Matty 🙏🏼❤️💌
he seems so tired :(
he’s probably stoned
he seems so tired in this video, he needs a break. he has no free time at all but he deserves it :/
and I sure hope they release a record in august haha
Matty Blessings Be With YOU 👼
❤️yr SMILES!!!!!!!!
Love Lauren, Q101, Matty and The 1975!!!!!!!!!
I love this human being
Pls someone go hug him and give him a rest
He starts talking about Imagine Dragons at 7:30
thank you
You're doing the Lord's work
He's the person. He just is.
watching this after notes has been released is vvvv interesting :)
8:12 well if you only listen to their "popular"songs like radioactive and thunder. Try listening to Friction , Thief, Warriors, Next to me, The River and Curse :)
Andronikos Zantis the river is awsome
I had forgotten about “Demons” which was popular at one point and the music video that went along with it made it even better
Love his vulnerability
Bro that’s how my therapy sessions would go but without the fancy words
i love him
lowkey feels like a therapy session
A lyric from Edwyn Collins is apt “too many protest singers, not enough protest songs”.
Love this :)
Love the 1975 but wtf. Hope Matt is ok.
Matty*
Caitlyn Jones fuck off
@@caitlynjones9929 You really thought you did sum 😂
anyone know what model Gibson this is? It looks like it could either be a j50 natural or a country and western but I can't tell
Wait we can tune the guitar with the capo attached on fretboard?
Dan does a lot for his community. Go watch his documentary and you will see. A simple lyric can mean a lot based off of the emotion it creates. Not every song has to be a protest. You gonna hate on the Beatles for making simple music too? “Come together” - very simple yet effective. But also - they asked this guy a question in the middle of a set. He is giving it all - in a vulnerable state. Won’t be surprised if these guys collaborate down the road.
I really need some new music because I've attached memories and feelings to all of the older ones and I cant use them as an escape anymore, but that sounds self centered
Nah, just the power of music.
Just do whatever makes you happy
tea spillage tøp same
create new memories with them, overwrite the old ones
His vulnerability is so attractive
I think hes pushing idea of Pop star to his own space .. I hope people understand that and he's all good with being a career artist.
notes in august 2019, sure matty, may 23rd 2020 is more like it
“Pffft, I’m just tryin’ yknow?”
What books does he read. I need to know
Guy Debord and Jack Kerouac are a good start
Palmzey Tree Heaven & Hell - Aldous Huxley
I've heard him talk about Dostoevsky before with some reverence - but, I'd recommend anyone read Dostoyevsky tbh
I actually think dan reynolds has the biggest heart ever and has always fought and will always fight for the lgbtq community, he does charity concerts if I'm not mistaken. who else in the music industry that does that? I think those real actions are waaay more impactful than protest song (is that what you call it?) he's a good dad if not great, he has struggled with his marriage and his physical health, and he openly stated that he also struggled with depression and seeing him to this day with so much positivity is making me feel awful for complaining about my life. correct me if I'm wrong though
Definitely agree with you.
I’ve been saying for a long time that if you’re someone Who is privileged enough to have people listen when you speak, then you should use your message to invoke a positive change in others or spread one about love. don’t spread hate and don’t try to divide one another because that’s not solving any problems.
Though I love the 1975 songs, I think it's quite absurd for Matty to make such comments based on a lyric of one song. He doesn't seem to know much about what Imagine Dragons stand for. Dan Reynolds and the rest of the boys are doing so much to use their platform for good causes like TRL, Love Loud and more. They work tirelessly to produce amazing music that inspires people while promoting their advocacies to support mental health awareness and lgbtqia community. Just because ID's music are mainstream doesn't mean their music doesn't have meaning. Most of their songs are about battling depression and spreading love and empowerment. Their music connected to the masses for a reason. I appreciate Matty for being honest with his opinion but I don't know man... I just expected more of him y'know. But hey... that's just me.
"I want it to come out in August" sir..... it's august 27
literally
Its been a year
Can I get a rip for it coming out in August..
I know someone who became a heroin addict but he never stole for it never hurt anyone but himself and cared for his grandma until she died...I think he used it to deal with the fact that she was ill but he did lie to people nothing serious just about why he had to go or why he couldnt go to something and he told me it was because he had to use to feel normal and he would lie to b able to go use and then go home and care for his grandma...last I heard she had died he went back to work and stopped but he still uses in his off time but works away for weeks without it so I guess some people can use heroin and still function I guess it's like people that can drink without getting pissed sort of if u get my drift.
Poor Matty looks exhausted! Someone get this poor guy a bed and let him rest!
Why not just make a record with a paper case?
