They turned this "fun ,upbeat, dance with your friends" song into this slow, sensual, sex me up in the back of a club at 2am song, and I am so ready for it. My god I think I honestly prefer this to the original although I can still appreciate both versions.
One of the best bands around right now by far. Theirs is the one of the few albums I can ever remember purchasing that after months and months of listening to, I'm still playing it on repeat. Absolutely incredible.
Brian Daniel The played a free gig here in Hull just as I was getting into them (so, I wasn't too fussed about going at the time), but now, looking back, I can't believe the chance I missed out on:(
Charley Passy Each to their own:) I'm not forcing my opinions down on anyone, the bands you mentioned are probably pretty good but it's gonna take a lot for me to get past my 1975 phase, haha. Even now, two months after posting my original comment, what I wrote still stands!
Charley Passy Catfish and teh Bottlemen are a great band but Thr 1975 have a beautiful unique sound as @SuperMisterKory said "Each to their own opinion"
Oh my gosh, I was not expecting to hear the Weeknd. I love The 1975. They have such a distinct sound and it's just beautiful how they can transform songs to make them sound like their own.
Jesus. This is such a genreless group. They incorporate so many elements, from rock n roll to r&b to even bit of jazz as we see here. They're bringing back true sound. They're bringing back music.
I find it hard to believe that matty is a self taught vocalist. His range and technique is seriously mind boggling. The vocals during their slowdown/Drive Like I Do/Big Sleep days are just a remarkable experience.
You have no idea how bad I feel for people who don't know about this band or dislike them. So much joy is missing from their lives. Oh well, keep doing your thing boys. I adore you all
Can't believe I saw these guys at a local club for $20 bucks while I was in Uni. Their front man is so tiny it's definitely memorable when you see them preform. They were good! Had a very simple set design, like a lit up rectangular door on stage, it was really effective. This mix is smooth, but I can't believe over 4 million people have seen it-- so cool that they shot up. Good for them :).
I actually listen to this for a few months now. And for some reason I just listened to wicked games for the first time and it sounded so familiar so I searched half an hour for the Cover from which I was remembering it. Until it clicked in my head and I realized it was this video (hard to find when it is actually the cover of another song...) :D
So as someone who doesn't know the original, I really enjoyed this cover. I know people are always going to be comparing covers to originals, but if people enjoyed this version, isn't that the point?
omg this is crazy I was just listening to the same song they covered by the weeknd at 2:38 😱😱😱 and he's definitely my favorite artist while they are my favorite band.my face is stuck on that shocked expression.
I tought this song couldn't be more perfect, then these guys made this cover! Oh my, Jess Glynne (original singer) has to make a cameo in this! So amazing! Obsessed!
This is probably my favourite cover. Its just musically so different from the originally you wouldn't even know it was clean bandits song. They can turn any song into a masterpiece. Absolutely love it!
The 1975 cannot do wrong. this is so perfect. i love how they take a cover and completely change it and make it their own. They are so original and fresh i just love them. Matty's voice is just incredible ♥
true love. i just don't know how to explain my love for this band. I love matty's voice. it's so deep and it has so many "shades". I love their style that is pretty unique. Also when they do a cover they literally transform the song and make it in theirs own style. I've never fell in love into a band before and now they're kind of an obsession for me. They're so talented and i hope for them the best! Just go ahead like this the 1975 :) Can't way to see you live and to listen new songs!
They turned this "fun ,upbeat, dance with your friends" song into this slow, sensual, sex me up in the back of a club at 2am song, and I am so ready for it. My god I think I honestly prefer this to the original although I can still appreciate both versions.
ikr! I wasn't prepared.
that "sex me up in the back of a club at 2am song" lmao i feel youuu 🤣🤣🤣
this is so on point i love it aHAHAHAHAHA
1975 ft. the weeknd or the nbhd would be my wet dream
THE NBHD :)
the perfect trio, if any two of those three were to make a song i'd probably die of excitement
they should all go on a tour together
OH MY GOSH, I LOVE YOU nikiwasnthere Seriously I love the weeknd so much and you just made my life because i agree with you 100% gosh!!
jcv87 THANK YOU FOR AGREEING

Regina aguirre yeah ik i realised i wrote it wrong but idk how to edit it :(

+Zuleima Avila RIGHT I WAS SERIOUSLY THINKING THAT!
+DaCrolla yeah but the weeknd is cliche

well, they all played beautifully but i feel like john doesnt get enough recognition
Saw him hit the solo from Me at Red Rocks a few years ago and it was incredible.
John is fine too.
T he live version of Birthday party when John enters is gonna be great
god i love the way he says the 1975,, the nine-een sevennyfive
m8 that's called sounding a little chavvy
Shut up idiot. What are you from germany or something ;D
Wtf 😂😂
Sneaky Kiki If anything he's posh as heck.
they can make any song sound sexy 😍
Any word*
+Joana Santos I want Matty to speak this words : Fridge , Elevator, Toast , Grandma .
DingDong YourOpinionIsWrong he already sayed grandma in a interview when he explain his tattoos
+DingDong YourOpinionIsWrong he says toast in an interview about Australia
Okay guys this was a joke
One of the best bands around right now by far. Theirs is the one of the few albums I can ever remember purchasing that after months and months of listening to, I'm still playing it on repeat. Absolutely incredible.
Brian Daniel The played a free gig here in Hull just as I was getting into them (so, I wasn't too fussed about going at the time), but now, looking back, I can't believe the chance I missed out on:(
Drenge, Catfish and The Bottlemen and The Family Rain all shit on this bollocks
Charley Passy Each to their own:) I'm not forcing my opinions down on anyone, the bands you mentioned are probably pretty good but it's gonna take a lot for me to get past my 1975 phase, haha. Even now, two months after posting my original comment, what I wrote still stands!
Charley Passy Catfish and teh Bottlemen are a great band but Thr 1975 have a beautiful unique sound as @SuperMisterKory said "Each to their own opinion"
And now, still the same?
I would to hear a full cover of a Weeknd song from The 1975
specifically The Morning. Matty's voice + The Morning = sex
Oh my God, this was exactly what I was thinking of. Seriously, that would be a good idea.
Jordyn Marie same
I was definitely not expecting that voice from the way he sounded when he was talking.
In a good or bad way? 😂
The 1975 covering The Weeknd....everything I love.
I'm still here after 8 years. Still sounds so good.
Here with yah
I just audibly moaned in the middle of Starbucks when he transitioned to Wicked Games
Lol
same tbh but i’m not in starbucks
this is the most first world comment I've read all week
I'M MINDBLOWN AT HOW ADORABLE MATTY IS RN OML
matty is driving me insane
daaaamn girl, mane irgi!!!!
radio 1 you should consider changing the into / outro noise it could kill OUR EARS i swear......
they probably do that so people won't illegally download it.
whenever the noise starts i feel my ear drum being ripped am sure many others feel the same way, they can just change the noise.
omg same!
Yes!!! I'm surprised I don't read comments like this more often.
***** people stll do it lol
Oh my gosh, I was not expecting to hear the Weeknd. I love The 1975. They have such a distinct sound and it's just beautiful how they can transform songs to make them sound like their own.
Started hearing Wicked Games and I was not expecting it in a good way.
me too
They always make these covers have a 3am in the bar, heartbroken from a one sided love vibe, or a “Let’s get outta here and go back to my place” vibe
Matty can make ANY song better.
The 1975*
cotelactica mj . The whole band is gr8 but i was talking vocally.
The 1975 didn't just covered the song! They OWNED it!! Eargasmic!
saxophone dude has got it going on
So much fucking love
WOULD YOU LOOK WHO IT IS
Elliot John Russell cest moi
HEY MATE
LiviTheNerd HEY FRIEND
I love love love The 1975's consistent and glorious sax use.
everyone loves some sax
rory12349 What you did
I SEE IT
rory12349 Saxy.
only the first few seconds into the performance and it already sounds like perfection
Favorite band singing one on my all time favorite songs. Holy shit
Jesus. This is such a genreless group. They incorporate so many elements, from rock n roll to r&b to even bit of jazz as we see here. They're bringing back true sound. They're bringing back music.
love the saxophone, always have.
I find it hard to believe that matty is a self taught vocalist. His range and technique is seriously mind boggling. The vocals during their slowdown/Drive Like I Do/Big Sleep days are just a remarkable experience.
Matty's little move at 1:06. Hahaha these guys are legends
You have no idea how bad I feel for people who don't know about this band or dislike them. So much joy is missing from their lives. Oh well, keep doing your thing boys. I adore you all
HOW IS SOMEONE SO SEXY BUT THEN ADORABLE LIKE WHAT
That's what I'm wondering
I know right 🤷🏼♀️
This song went from 0-100 real quick
How did i fucking lived without this for 2 years ?
It's two songs that i love covered by my favorite band
exactly 2 years ago today this was posted. and im glad it was posted
at the start i was like holy shit hes so short
+izzy ye that´s the problem he is not short
well he's talented, i think it's not a huge prob 😉
im not insulting i just didn't think he was that short
***** I don't think that 5'8 it's short
5'8 isnt extemely short but it is short
the 1975 needs to do a full cover of wicked games ! 😩😩😩
Listening again because of 2:27-3:24
Bless The 1975
BLESS THE WEEKND

Facts
Can't believe I saw these guys at a local club for $20 bucks while I was in Uni. Their front man is so tiny it's definitely memorable when you see them preform. They were good! Had a very simple set design, like a lit up rectangular door on stage, it was really effective.
This mix is smooth, but I can't believe over 4 million people have seen it-- so cool that they shot up. Good for them :).
Tiny 😂😂 I died
What's not to love about the 1975?
i'm desperate for hearing more the weeknd songs from matty
I actually listen to this for a few months now. And for some reason I just listened to wicked games for the first time and it sounded so familiar so I searched half an hour for the Cover from which I was remembering it. Until it clicked in my head and I realized it was this video (hard to find when it is actually the cover of another song...) :D
I would actually pass
Oh my god. I need a full cover of Wicked Games like right now.
They finessed this. It sounds so gorgeous.
+Daija Graves MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
*TRIGGERED
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNMMM
So as someone who doesn't know the original, I really enjoyed this cover. I know people are always going to be comparing covers to originals, but if people enjoyed this version, isn't that the point?
I saw their name pop up and I was like oh hell yeah !
The second he switched to Wicked Games, my heart just melted
omg this is crazy I was just listening to the same song they covered by the weeknd at 2:38 😱😱😱 and he's definitely my favorite artist while they are my favorite band.my face is stuck on that shocked expression.
*This song is the epitome of sex...*
Castiel Winchester Lol, I had the same thing in mind! Make out song added to collection!
CRYING REAL TEARS BC MATTY IN A HOODIE
Matty isn't wearing a hoodie?
Marie Battenhouse he is in the beginning (during the introduction)
graceannebutera omg you're so right he's an angel
by far my face song right now, simply amazing
he looks so much better w this style and hair cut tbh
Yeah I like both I can't decide
disagree, the perm is life.
I thinks it's his natural hair if I'm not mistaken
I like his natural hair more. his curls are just so gorgeous
this will never get old
pure perfection . love this band. Seen them live nov. 4 and it was the greatest concert I've been too.
I was at that concert too :)) the vibes where awesome i can't stop seeing it in my head
Hey I was there as well!! It was an amazing concert.
Niether can I @samantha ! The wait was insane but worth it .
Yeah @izzy! The guys really put on a show to remember :)
Jnene Gavin tell me about it. I waited outside for 14 hours. It was worth it though because I got front row and Matty's guitar pick. Ahhhh.
I stood for 10hours! Deffintely seeing the guys again!
And the there's John being frikin adorable with that didly darn saxophone
It's so intimate man. I love the ambience he puts in to the song like ugh so perfect !
I tought this song couldn't be more perfect, then these guys made this cover! Oh my, Jess Glynne (original singer) has to make a cameo in this! So amazing! Obsessed!
still so obsessed with this aah
Sooooooo. They just sexified this song like crazy... Geez that saxaphone makes me melt
I have literally listened to this version 2-3 times a day for the past 2 weeks .
This is probably my favourite cover. Its just musically so different from the originally you wouldn't even know it was clean bandits song. They can turn any song into a masterpiece. Absolutely love it!
bad.ass. love how Matty goes into covering the weeknd.
the vibes I'm getting right now are unreal honestly.
NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT THIS HAPPY AND CLAM AT THE SAME DAMN TIME
I am too in love with them
THAT THE WEEKND COVER THO OH MY GODDDDD
Killing me. God, I love the 1975 so much. Lord give me the strength.
This cover and Dan singing Rather Be are my favorite ones.
These guys should really release an album of covers.
matty can make anything/any song sound amazing
i still fucking love this song it's been 2 years and i'm still bloody in love with it
They turned this into an epic Slow Jam
The 1975's covers are always my favourite
The 1975 cannot do wrong. this is so perfect. i love how they take a cover and completely change it and make it their own. They are so original and fresh i just love them. Matty's voice is just incredible ♥
that switch CAME OUTTA NOWHERE I FEEL SO ATTACKED YESS THE WEEKND AND THE 1975
iVE BEEN BLESSED WE'VE ALL BEEN BLESSED
This so amazing I'm so in love with it I listen to it daily and make my friends listen to it
true love.
i just don't know how to explain my love for this band. I love matty's voice. it's so deep and it has so many "shades". I love their style that is pretty unique. Also when they do a cover they literally transform the song and make it in theirs own style.
I've never fell in love into a band before and now they're kind of an obsession for me.
They're so talented and i hope for them the best! Just go ahead like this the 1975 :)
Can't way to see you live and to listen new songs!
They're seriously the best thing that's happened to indie rock/pop music in SO LONG

+Loud PackJames I'm 17 actually but, whatever you say
Loud PackJames this bitch is 18 shut up already
I think I might die on how beautiful this song is OMG 🚬
Completely lost the feeling of the original song, however this is freaking amazing. You can call me a 1975 fan now.
*the 1975
mattyhealy lol
Im sick I can't even breath or open my eyes! And this is helping me to get through this horrible day...
Matty dancing and vibing are giving me sooo much life!
The way they remade these songs perfectly to their chill vibe... matty be killin me :') yumawdjsnskmmmm
This Cover was so chilled...
they are just really really beautiful, unreal, and god-like when they perform live. The beginning sounded like Alison Wonderland's 'I Want U'.
more than a year later still the best live lounge performance on bbc radio xx
Damn. This is chill af. Love it!
HE IS SO SMOL MY MUFFIN
OMF IKR
OH MY GOD YOU CANT SPELL SMALL
or form a sentence
+Brandon O'brien its supposed to be spelt smol and shes saying it quickly so she doesnt need a comma (:
+fairy floss you really dont know what you're talking about do you?
the 1975 should do a cover of The nbhd really, i think it would sound mind blowing
YALL COMMENTING ABOUT MATTY WHAT ABOUT ADAM, GEORGE AND ROSS?
for real its hella annoying
George is >>>>
lol don't forget about john
What about John?
Right especially Adam. He's so adorable
the 1975 covering the Weeknd is actually all I've ever wanted in life
This is so sensual and sexier than fifty shades of grey 😌💕
Stella Nimas what
The fact i met the boys last night and all day i have had them on repeat trying to get over it but i seriously cant
If you like the vibe of this you should check out their remix of James Vincent McMorrow's Cavalier!! These guys are always on point!!
I did and I totally loved it! thank you 😀
I heard that on their soundcloud ages ago, it's so good.
claireyfairey07 I'm looking it up RIGHT MEOW
