The 1975

Just in case you do not follow myself on social media or you are not a fan of the band, The 1975 just had a unique and beautiful performance over the weekend.

They were invited to play with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in London on Friday, September 30th. This performance has been one that the band along with the orchestra, has been rehearsing for months on end to prepare for. They brought along their new unique sound from the new album they have been promoting this past year and will continue touring into 2017, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful, Yet So Unaware of It. The set was broadcasted worldwide from BBC's website.

This show contained stage visuals and new additions to the set list that fans might not have been able to see live yet. The pairing of the orchestra and the band was spectacular. Lead singer of the band, Matty Healy was emotional before and during the show telling BBC radio, "I was crying today, at times. It’s the first time I've wanted to do another run through of a soundcheck. It was incredible."

The 1975 also covered One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" and Justin Bieber's "Sorry." These are both songs that Healy and Co. have covered live before, but this performance was 100 times more intense and emotional.

The band has received many phenomenal reviews and praise from the show, even from previous critics of theirs. It is much deserved especially after being nominated for the Mercury Prize Award for the best album of 2016 in their home of Great Britain.

2016 has been a great year for the group in means of numbers, success and transition. 2017, as Healy has just announced via twitter, will have new material and much more to follow.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
