Playing On My Mind by The 1975 Song Info
“Playing On My Mind” is a track from English alternative band The 1975 that appears on their fourth studio album "Notes On A Conditional Form". Lead singer Matty Healy mentioned the song title in his interview with NME: "'There’s ‘Playing On My Mind’ [on NOACF]. It’s just me asking loads of me trying to figure stuff out.'" The song stands as one more part of ‘stand-up comedy’ genre in the variety of NOACF musical styles but still stays honest and raises important questions of Healy’s existence, no matter the environment. "'This takes us back into that American, James Taylor-y, Jackson Browne-y kind of sound. Again, Phoebe is just great to have there. As soon as I write something, if I get her to put a harmony on it or to just do something over the top of it, it completely changes. And that was really easy and really natural. I think this is my funniest record; there’s some lines in there that still make me smile when I listen to it. [With] “Playing on My Mind,” there’s one line I really like: “I won’t get clothes online ’cause I get worried about the fit / That rule don’t apply concerning my relationships.” I thought that summed up me really, really well.'" - Matty Heally, via Apple Music
