Feels like one of those songs you listen to in the car when you're returning to the place where you were born after moving away. It brings comfort, cosiness, almost like a warm hug on a cold day. My favourite song from the album, a masterpiece.
i have plans of returning to my old city sometime this year, i can say i definitely want to be listening to this song while im otw there haha! hopefully that plan goes through
Every new album. The song writing is just…… unbelievably better and better. How do they do it ? I’m 66 and this is my favorite band. Thank you so much !
@@AndrewKierszenbaumDefinitely, Part of the Band sounds a lot like 91 by Bleachers. George said it was Jack's idea to add the cellos, the original song was more jangly 80s pop.
Our first kiss was Christmas in the Walmart toy department She said, "I should take you with me when I leave" We were searchin' New York for a fancy, new apartment She said, "Central Park is Sea World for trees" You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater It's somethin' about the weather that makes them lie down The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together I like socks with sandals, she's morе into scented candles Oh, I'll nеver get that smell out of my bag It was poorly handled The day we both got canceled Because I'm a racist and you're some kind of slag You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater It's somethin' about the weather that makes them lie down The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together (Oh, together) "I'm better at writin'" was just a way to get you bitin' Oh, the truth is that our egos are absurd I thought we were fightin' But it seems I was gaslightin' you I didn't know that it had its own word You still ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater It's something about the weather that makes them lie down The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together 💗💛💙
This song is so amazing. It reminds me of my past relationship. She was super fun, full of energy, smart, witty, funny, knew how to love me, got me out of my comfort zone, and so so pretty… at the same time if she was having a bad day she would take it out on me, fights would get toxic, sometimes bring me down about things and make me walk on eggshells if I wanted to get something off my chest so I would compromise to stop the conflict, sometimes manipulative and would test me too. It sucks because there was the highest of highs and lowest of lows. But I can’t help but think of the little things like my own version of “asking about the cows, wearing my sweater” and the warm feeling I’d get by being with her. I know that I’m only holding onto the thought of the good times and keeping those in my mind, but I know that’s only the perception of what I have of her - when in reality that’s not the case, she wasn’t sincerely good to me when it came down to it. On my birthday she posted on her story with another guy at a dinner who she’s now dating instead, which was only weeks after we ended things. And still despite all this, sometimes I can’t help finding myself thinking about how I’d feel better if she just came over, didn’t say a word, and we just cuddled on the couch.
I initially thought that this song and About You should be swapped around just because of the way About You sounds. Then I realised that if About You is the sad nostalgia and reminiscing of a past love, When We Are Together is the person that pulls you out of the depression hole you fall into and does mundane, random shit with you to help you feel present again, helping you to look to your future and not your past.
Beautiful interpretation. Though I heard this too is a breakup song. It's about all the things he misses about his partner. I don't know when it was written, but it was recorded after his breakup.
I feel like at that time Matty was looking for love, support and fulfillment outside of himself. He made that girl his rock but the truth is that he is his own rock and all that he was trying to find and catch is in himself. I love the honesty in the lyrics and the melody suits it really well. Also the whole vibe of the Song feels like its snowing outside and like its christmas time - „the moment was really catched” and transformed really nice with a purity of itself. Sending Lots of love to the guys and wishing you a lot of selflove from heart 💕
I can imagine this sound to be in an indie film where the character moves out of their hometown to go to a big city to start anew, driving away from their home. At the end there's a few seconds of instrumental where flashbacks of memories start kicking in. This song feels very nostalgic.
Has anyone noticed that if you listen to the instrumental end part of this song, you'll hear the intro of their first song? (if you play the whole album in a loop)

This song changed so much for me. I don't say that a lot. Truth is I'm tired of being a victim to a toxic relationship from my young adult years. The real truth is our egos were absurd. Time to move on from the trauma for good.
Oh tell me about it… bruises all over my body everyday… i was so fuckn stupid Glad I broke up like 4years ago. Yet the trauma is always there. Hope you heal too ❤
i think that’s my first time sobbing right after i hear the first line.. the whole song is quite literally a masterpiece. and ever since i discovered the 1975 in oh my god 2015 tumblr era, i’ve been evolving sorta with them, but this…. i don’t even want to think about other upcoming albums, this one is the most sincere thing i’ve heard in ages. thank you, bravo!
I saw them in concert a few months back in November. At that point in time, I hadn’t gotten around to listening through BFIAFL. When they played When We Are Together, it hit me like a freight train and I was choking back tears in the crowd.
I love the way this song reprises Warren Ellis' quivering strings from About You in the bridge, as well as the pianos from the album opener at the very end.
I heard the lyric "central park is seaworld for trees" as an Australian who's never been to NY, but like anyone anywhere on earth, has seen plenty of movies and shows based in NY. After hearing this lyric for the first time yesterday, a show I was watching featured an aerial shot of Central Park and I had to gape in amazement at how much that lyric resonates and rings true for me. Matty is a lyrical & songwriting genius.
I think it’s good that he’s being so sincere with it. Admitting his wrongs, not knowing that gaslighting was a thing. Takes a lot to be so open especially to his audience

I think that Phoebe Bridgers wrote this track for her 3rd album maybe and present it as a gift for The 1975. Expect that The 1975 will write track for Phoebe now
this band has had such a huge impact on my life and I'm in disbelief that I'm hearing this at less than 400 views. tomorrow will be a million. thank you #the1975 #bfiafl
According to Matty and George on the tape notes podcast, they had to rush to make this song in 2 days before the deadline as an addition to BFIAFL since they wanted to take out one track called This Feeling.
Feels like one of those songs you listen to in the car when you're returning to the place where you were born after moving away. It brings comfort, cosiness, almost like a warm hug on a cold day. My favourite song from the album, a masterpiece.
Aww bro I love this reply, you get me 😉
Thank you. Yes !!!
Yes it is
i have plans of returning to my old city sometime this year, i can say i definitely want to be listening to this song while im otw there haha! hopefully that plan goes through
@@vasylmusic I hope you're able to visit your old city this year and this songs brings back some good memories from your time there! :)
what a beautiful album. one of their best. its a short album for the 1975, but god is it perfect. this will be on repeat
Same!!
it's good, but it's no iliwys
The “cows wearing my sweater” line has no right to be hitting me as hard as it is
So true
It's 'cows, wearing my sweater', meaning she asked about the cows WHILE wearing his sweater - not cows wearing sweaters. Smh.
@@alabama.worley or, is he wearing a leather sweater? 🤔🤣🤣
@@alabama.worley it's okay, Robert don't know. it's in his name. jk lmao
cringe
"The only time i feel i might get better is when we are together" so much true
Every new album. The song writing is just…… unbelievably better and better. How do they do it ?
I’m 66 and this is my favorite band. Thank you so much !
Great taste David!

Masters of Pop! same 4 chords but stylized in new, exciting and innovative ways. Jack Antonoff helped tremendously on this occasion!
I feel so lucky to live in the same era as the birth of this album, and glad that I discovered this blessed band. ❤️
Why is the 1975 so underrated!!!
This is a brilliant song and the album proves again how the 1975 is the best band of the last decade. Matt is truly a genius.
This is about freakin taylor swift im gonna cry 😭
I really like how they are incorporating the strings more. It seems to give it a more classic/sincere vibe.
jack antonoff influence imo!

You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
It's somethin' about the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together
I like socks with sandals, she's morе into scented candles
Oh, I'll nеver get that smell out of my bag
It was poorly handled
The day we both got canceled
Because I'm a racist and you're some kind of slag
You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
It's somethin' about the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together
(Oh, together)
"I'm better at writin'" was just a way to get you bitin'
Oh, the truth is that our egos are absurd
I thought we were fightin'
But it seems I was gaslightin' you
I didn't know that it had its own word
You still ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
It's something about the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together
💗💛💙
thank you!!
Gracias 🛐
Thank you very much
I love you for this ❤
Thank you 🤍
i love how earnest yet complete the mix of production and lyrics is. just such a brilliant album, instant classic.
bro said earnest
I listened this song in patagonia, with a broken hearts. was a wonderful. I love this album.

Had the best times when we're together! 6 months since we broke up.
Hope you're happy Li.

Us '1975 fans are being fed well with all this new music
Feels like sitting alone on a bench contemplating life both ups and downs
This song is so simple yet so charming. The acoustic folk sound suits them surprisingly well. Sounds like Plus-era Ed Sheeran in the best way.

This and making the band are my favorite song such a great album
This is phenomenal song. Playing on the heartstrings.

My healing song. Makes me calm.
I absolutely love this album❤
This song brings so much comfort I want to cry
what a great closing track 💙💙💙
This song has grown on me since last friday. One of my favorites from the record!
This will be on repeat for sure...

Our first kiss was Christmas in the Walmart toy department

… You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
It's somethin' 'bout the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together
… I like socks with sandals, she's more into scented candles
Oh, I'll never get that smell out of my bag
And it was poorly handled, the day we both got canceled
Because I'm a racist and you're some kind of slag
… You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
It's somethin' 'bout the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together, oh, together
… "I'm better at writing" was just a way to get you biting, oh
The truth is that our egos are absurd
I thought we were fighting but it seems I was gaslighting you
I didn't know that it had its own word
… You still ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
Said it's something 'bout the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together
Oh my holy lord the vocals is so mesmerising. ❤
I absolutely love this song ❤️
One of their best albums to date.
This song changed so much for me. I don't say that a lot. Truth is I'm tired of being a victim to a toxic relationship from my young adult years. The real truth is our egos were absurd. Time to move on from the trauma for good.
Oh tell me about it… bruises all over my body everyday… i was so fuckn stupid
Glad I broke up like 4years ago. Yet the trauma is always there. Hope you heal too ❤
supremely gorgeous closing track, they really did that
This is the song to slow dance in the kitchen with your love to 💖
This album is so beautiful, I can’t wait to see them this year after being a fan for around 4 years ❤
just beautiful.

I really love the song and also the lyrics, seems like a real love!
The violin in this just made it perfect
fiddle
@@rebeccaferguson7734 they're the same instrument played differently
@@MadailinBurnhope ya, ya, ya, my point actually
But talk to bluegrass players for more details/differences....facinating subject!
What a brilliant piece of music. This will be a classic in the future.
I love the way this song reprises Warren Ellis' quivering strings from About You in the bridge, as well as the pianos from the album opener at the very end.
Not even the most beautiful words created in this world could do justice to what this band means to me. THE 1975 ladies and gentlemen
Loving every part of the song🎧🎶✨
Thank you guys, the album sounds amazing and the lyrics are on point. We'll be waiting with open arms in Peru!
Hands down, the best song out of the album
She's been calling you...But you won't pick up. Another fortnight lost in America...
Fuck it 😢
What a way to bring the sadness on Friday morning 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Oh this is just gorgeous
This hits me right in the feels, best song on the album 🖤
Addicted to this song ❤️
I've found this band in pandemic 2020 ,, im really grateful to know this band,,
los quiero mucho the 1975, que álbum más maravilloso, gracias ❤️🩹

A masterpiece as always, thank you
I'm in love with Matty's soft voice❤
this is so good
gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous
this one needs a video. its my favourite.
This album feels like if U2 and Bowie had a baby and that baby grew up on Foreigner. That's this. Absolute genius and a shot of dopamine && bliss
Even the album art is very The Joshua Tree
This album is so good I can't stop listening
such an underrated song
I freaking love this song 🥺🖤
i love thissss
How much of an impact music can do to a person which the 1975 really does reduces my anxieties
omagaa how beautifullll this songg
Saw this live last night in Manchester
Crushing.
Beautiful song
Gracias , que hermosa canción.
such an beautiful songs🥹🖤
Incredible
really nice song 💕
beautiful
best song on the album
I needed this song back in January 2020. I was with the love of my life. Makes me think of her. Thank you guys.
What happened bro
@@muhfuckajonez We broke up after I proposed. /:
@@EricVera539 I feel you homie, good news is it happened now and not later hang in there
only they can sing, “the day we both got cancelled, because i'm a racist and you're some kind of slag” so romantically

2nd fav from this album
this song makes me cry so much
I think that Phoebe Bridgers wrote this track for her 3rd album maybe and present it as a gift for The 1975. Expect that The 1975 will write track for Phoebe now
She didn't
Feels like song played in movie scenes when the hero is returning home, to his love.

Can’t wait to hear this song in the concert !
This has been on repeat 🔁😭 I LOVE YOU GUYS! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM! ❤️
masterpiece
so cool
