The 1975 - All I Need to Hear
[Verse 1]
I get out my records
When you go away
When people are talking
I miss what they say
[Chorus]
'Cause it all means nothing, my dear
If I can't be holdin' you near
So tell me you love me
'Cause that's all that I need to hear
[Verse 2]
I sit in my kitchen (George, do the hihats now)
With nothing to eat
With so many friends I
I don't wanna meet
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't need music in my ears
I don't need the crowds and the cheers
Oh, just tell me you love me
'Cause that's all that I need to hear
[Bridge]
I've been told so many times before
But hearin' it from you means much more
So much more
[Verse 3]
Reply to my message
And pick up my calls
You see, I wrote you a letter
It was no use at all
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't care if you're insincere
Just tell me what I wanna hear
You know where to find me
The place where we lived all these years, oh
And tell me you love me
That's all that I need to hear
Oh, tell me you love me
That's all that I need to hearYou might also like
“All I Need to Hear” is the fourth single from The 1975’s studio album ”Being Funny in a Foreign Language”. Matty Healy confirmed in a cover story for Pitchfork that the goal when creating the track was to make something that “sounds like a cover”. “As a joke, George was like, ‘I don’t think you fuckin’ wrote that.’ It’s my favorite thing he’s ever said to me.” “All I Need to Hear” was recorded in one-take, and is a piano ballad. A stripped down, acoustic version of the song was originally performed on 22nd October 2021 by Matty Healy, during a surprise set at Phoebe Bridgers' “Reunion Tour”. At the time, “All I Need to Hear” was untitled, with the name of the track being revealed during the announcement of the band’s next studio album “Being Funny in a Foreign Language”.
