This song is about a girl [friend] that I had. She was beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I loved her but she didn’t feel the same way. I don’t even think she knew I loved her. This song is about the times I had with her. As she and I became close friends, we had traditions. It was kinda like our thing, y'know? We’d somehow always coincidentally be out at exactly 1:02AM, so that was our thing. Now whenever I’m awake at 1:02AM, I think of her and I let her go. - Matthew Healy on ‘102’ (The 1975)
It’s Insane how we all listened to this song on a low quality camera with no microphone or any actual professional audio. Matty had no idea how far the 1975 would go. He was still TRYING to become a payed musician. I remember how young I was when I listened to this and I’ve listened to it over the years. Now I’m older and have grown so much. This video is such a metaphor for where I’ve come, where matty has come and where you have
Ascendcy as a musician my self I’ll say that there is no “trying too hard” when it comes to performing your own songs. Originals are always better. But this is still beautiful. He is in a different place in his life so naturally the recording and ambience of this is going to change
It won't be, they won't put it on two albums. They were going to put it on the next album but then decided to release it as an extra track on the Japan version of ABIIOR instead.
So for an album called "A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships" this wouldn't be appropriate? This is a song about tragic love, the sort of which is unrequited and demands nothing in return. It is perfect and would have been the undisputed culmination of the album's fundamental message.
@@calumwesthead7960 it has not been confirmed on the new album, the genius tracklist is not official - I remember there was a bunch of songs listed on genius for ABIIOR that never made it on the album. Besides, 102 was also released on a limited edition cassette tape that was released in London in Dec last year. So that is two times it has officially been released now, on the cassette and in Japan. Releasing it three times would be too far lol. Yeah, the version of 102 that has officially been released is just an old version you can find on youtube, they never rerecorded a new version which is kinda sad.
@@jiyu9277and you have nothing else to comment? do not be so imbecile, if it is a replica or not and that is my problem not yours so better get into your affairs than here nobody asked your opinion fuck you

It’s called 102 because it means “1:02 AM” Here’s what Matty said years ago about the song- "This song is about a girl (friend) that I had. She was beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I loved her but she didn’t feel the same way. I don’t even think she knew I loved her. This song is about the times I had with her. As she and I became close friends, we had traditions. It was kinda like our thing, yah know? We’d somehow always coincidentally be out at exactly 1:02AM, so that was our thing. Now whenever I’m awake at 1:02AM, I think of her and I let her go.” - Matty Healy
@@Anonymous-pu3wy as nice a story as it is, he's said in a bazillion interviews that he's literally never said that and has absolutely no idea who made it up in the first place
Lyrics: Well we're here We're at the common again Smoked six of the ten fags that I only bought an hour ago Said well I I like the look of your shoes I like the way that your face looks when I'm arguing with you And so when, when we all grow old I hope this song will remind you that I'm not half as bad as what You've been told When I knock At a hundred and two And I see your pyjamas I can't stop smiling at you And that's why we're here We're at the common again I've been pouring my heart out Towards your optimistic grin Said well I, I I like the cut of your jib I like the way that your face looks When you're yapping on about him I button this shirt I found your smell And I just sat there for ages Contemplating what to do with myself I called you up At a hundred and two We just sat there for ages Talking about that boy What was getting onto you You
Yes! That's exactly what the dkfference between the two are. The original is raw and almost innocent. This one has an aged tone to it. Heartbreak that's matured from a clawing pain to a constant ache. They're both beautiful, but the first one will always be special to me.
i liked this boy. he was one of my very close friends and it turned out that he liked me back. we started dating and i think i fell in love with him. we spent a lot of time together, a lot of late nights spent listening to music and talking and laughing. he brought out the best in me. after a while, i began to feel like i needed some space and decided to end things with him. almost instantly, i regretted what i'd done. i really missed him and felt like i needed him back. he, on the other hand, moved on. now, four months later, he's dating another girl and i'm still heartbroken. we're still very close friends and i often talk to him about why i'm sad. that's why the line "i've been pouring my heart out towards your optimistic grin" hits so hard. i'm really hoping that maybe, some day in the future, the time will be right for us to get back together again. but for now, alex, you'll never read this, but i'm just letting you know that i still love you and i think i will for quite some time. (edit, april 2020: it really does get better. me and him are friends now, i'm over him and i'm in love with someone new. trust the process, everything heals over time ❤️)
My story is quite similar to yours.I've been suffering from loneliness and other psychological complications for a while.I fell in love with her back in 2018.She really did make me feel better for a while.We broke up twice, actually.After we started dating again after the first breakup, she told me she needed some space and that she wanted to take a break.And that was it.I was scared of losing her.I'd be in agonizing pain pretty much everyday after that but I still hid it from her.I said goodbye to her at a point even though we talked a day or two ago.I told her that I was still in love with her ( which is true ).But she said she moved on.It did hurt me.Anyways, I did rant a little bit in my texts and simply forbade her to respond ever again. :")
Going through something similar....and it hurts....never thought someone could move on so quick but I guess she made me realize her love was fake this whole time and could be lost easily. So I guess her love really wasn’t the real sincere thing, and I was just another boy to her.
@@tonyz5822 hi! just wanted to say that i'm sorry, and that in hindsight, everything heals over time. it took me months to get over him, but it's a slow process. i hope everything is okay, i understand how much this hurts
Here after Matty used this song to close the concert in Vienna, the same day as the news of his breakup with Taylor. It's really so sad, he was broken 💔

This song was like my little secret I would always listen to this at night exactly at 11. I did this for about 3 months straight I never went a single night without listening to this song. It has always been really special to me and it will continue being special

My best friend , who I was incontestably in love with but never told her, took her own life 4 years ago and this, this was our song. And I promised myself that I’ve moved on but maybe I really haven’t. Hearing this song again just brings back everything thanks Healy
This is good. But I love how the older version is more raw.. You feel the heartbreak through the screen, literally. And the emotion in his voice, as he remembers her presence makes me tear up. Then you have the distant background noise from the park late at night, it gives me peaceful vibes. The old version cannot be better than it already is.
I used to listen to this song for hours on end when I was in middle school and had just discovered the 1975. I was so in love with it and matty's voice and the emotion in it, it made me feel like I had experienced true love when at that point I never had. I tried to get my friends to listen to it but they didn't like his voice cracks or how slow it was and I was so sad no one could see the beauty of it. I'm in college now and I still put this on repeat sometimes and get hit with a huge wave of nostalgia. this band changed my life and my music taste forever.
This song absolutely breaks my heart, I was completely in love with my ex boyfriend and I’m pretty certain he loved me too but our relationship was way too serious for our age, but he used to play this on guitar and sing it to me along with another song he wrote about me and I would cry every time I heard it, I just really hope that one day, when it’s right we will come together again, we always have come back to each other before, I just hope that one day we will both be in the right place for each other
this. this is gorgeous. when i read this i think about my past relationship with this girl i loved and feel the same way....i hope you get the ending you want and i hope i do to.
For those of you who are first discovering this song, be sure to check out the first recording of Matty just sitting on a park bench in London somewhere drinking a beer. Beautifully authentic
I'd be honored if some 1975 fans who appreciate 80s/90s classics would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends of both yesterday and today.
the following is oversharing but i liked reading everyone elses moments with this song throughout their lives and i felt a part of that little community so heres some of my shit i remember downloading the park version on my shitty second hand samsung and walking home listening to this deep in thought. i remember showing it to someone who loved me. i didnt love them back in the same way and a lot happened that shaped who we have become years later. i used to sit in a tree late at night listening to this, feeling way too much in the company of shy stars and a bicycle. i'd write. i'd soak everything in gin and i'd call that person for hours to keep from slipping through the cracks. at the time there was a lot of pain shrouded in dark life choices with short roads. this song sat with me in the waiting room of change, repeating over and over again during some very long nights. i hear this now and feel the stretch of change. its not all bad, but it...aches. i'm on the other side of the world now, like i dreamt of in that tree without the expectation of living long enough to do it. time has taken back all of what it gave. in years to come it will undo and redo once more, a process of which i am content with allowing. the boys have expressed this shared experience of change parallel to mine throughout each album to a freakish extent. i dont know matty, i never will, but i now understand how much shared feelings and realisations can affect oneself. its brought great comfort. this band has allowed for something supportive friends and family just can't give - simple unadulterated moments of feeling. pain, bliss, change, reflection. the 1975 have summed up these huge things into chords and lyrics in ways that have kept things together when i couldnt do it alone. i am very grateful for this. as the band grows, so do many of us. most of us don't have our fan accounts anymore. we stopped glorifying tumblr grunge and maybe actually begun to keep journals for self-improvement rather than why were sad af. we got out of toxic relationships and decided to pursue things in the future than dwell on the past. we kicked bad habits; we picked up worse ones. things rose and fell and became okay before getting worse before being better than ever. a lot of us finished school or changed jobs. changed people. changed bedrooms, car seats, train lines. this whole thing is what i see and feel in 102. im not that girl with her legs swinging in the trees, balancing the bad and the worst in each hand. im not in a classroom with fucked up piling around me anymore. im in italy. i'm sipping cheap wine and making homemade pasta with someone i love very much. i grew up and got better. 102 is the soundtrack to this journey and this release gives me a lot of feelings in all the right ways. thnx for reading this piece of shit, pls share your experiences to give me a sense of wholeness
Nah it wasn't a piece of shit at all, seeing the effect this song has had on people is quite amazing, I have no crazy story linked to it, maybe a typical link to a girl I can't move on from but we've all been there. I've only discovered The 1975 about a week ago, but just wanted to say everyone's story has meaning, and it was nice to hear yours
this comment was written so beautifully and whether it’s how my own story relates back to yours or the nostalgia of this song, i feel weirdly & wonderfully connected to you. thank you for writing this “piece of shit” comment. my favorite thing is how music can make us feel so deeply and connect everyone through his or her own experiences and you helped do just that.
i think this is genuinely the most beautiful song ever written. it never fails to bring back those heart wrenching memories of me and my ex who i’m still so in love with. it’s crazy how good of a writer matty was even at the beginning of his career. thank you so so much for this song :,) i’m literally gonna get a tattoo for it one day

The line “I like the look of your shoes” will always remind me of my ex, she always wore shoes that were pointy, that was one of the bits I loved about her. She and I both loved this band and was a big part of why we got together, I would flirt with her using their lyrics, it was such a silly thing but it worked, it’s been 2 years now since we broke up and it feels weird at times listening to the band, because to me she was the 1975.
I first discovered this song during my uni days and at my peak degree life. I thought I couldn't do it and cried myself thinking I might fail and disappointed my parents.Today I listened to this song while on my way back home from work. Wondering how far life has got me and things will eventually pass. What matters today wont matter tomorrow. Life goes on ... Since I first saw the band in 2019, nothing was the same. I will always return to this band for comfort. You will never understand this until you are really into them (which I said to many people). I'm seeing this band for the 4th time in July and this time will be different because I'm going with my other half. Words cannot describe how excited I am because we're witnessing greatness together. We failed to see them at Finsbury in 2020 and almost thought we'd never have the chance. God bless The 1975
Without a thought, I clicked this while doing piles of homework. I’ve heard this song countless times, cried to my mother while driving to this song, sat alone in my bedroom contemplating suicide, in a dugout after the love of my life broke up with me. I found myself with tears streaming down my face once again. Thank you for helping me cope; this song has saved me time and time again.
watch the first video about this song 11 years ago (i think). His voice cracks and his way of singing it feels like it was so painful for him to sing it.
LYRICS: (I know that alot of people will already know them but to the new fans, welcome to heaven and to the start of the magic that is Matty Healy :) Well, we're here We're at the common again Smoked six of the ten fags that I only bought an hour ago Said well I I like the look of your shoes I like the way that your face looks When I'm arguin' with you And so when When we all grow old I hope this song will remind you that I'm not Half as bad as what you've been told And when I knock At a hundred and two And I see your pajamas I can't stop smiling at you And that's why we're here We're at the common again I've been pouring my heart out Towards your optimistic grin I said well I, I I like the cut of your jib I like the way that your face looks When you're yappin' on about him But on this shirt Well I found your smell I just sat there for ages Contemplating what to do with myself I called you up At a hundred and two We just sat there for ages Talkin' about that boy what Was gettin' on to you You, you, you
I met this girl freshman year of college. We instantly hit it off and became friends. All four years we ran in different circles but remained daily gym partners and each other’s emotional support as we dated other people. I realized Over Christmas that I’d developed feelings for her and flat out fallen and planned to talk it out but by the time life slowed down enough to talk to her Covid shut down classes and I haven’t seen her since spring break. We graduated and she’s gone back home and I’m just here with this song and there’s always been something oddly comforting about the honesty here. Because we’ve all been in that situation that Matty has and it’s just so raw and genuine. You can’t top it.
i remember the first night i found this song, i listened to it on repeat and cried for hours because i missed my ex who had moved on, bringing back so many memories
Ex are meant to be x for a reason. I know it's difficult but Should enjoy the present. If can't just realise that you're breathing which is enough to make you feel alive
Romy Suter same and still do, she was my bestfriend “I see your pajamas and can’t stop smiling at you”. “On this shirt I found your smell, I just sat there for ages contemplating what to do with myself”. Hits me really hard to this day
i found it's totally two different feeling from the park version. Park version is more like longing to see the girl just disappear from his life. You can feel his lost. This version would be more like he's finally meet the girl that he loved and she's happier right now. Here you will feel that he is happy that she's happy, without him.

I was 18 when I first heard this song and found this band that then became a part of me. I still remember downloading the version with car noises in the background just to listen to it on my iPod. Now I’m 23 in the middle of nowhere in my life and I’ll just sit here for ages contemplating what to do with myself after hearing this song again.....
Just be glad your not almost 60 contiplating what to do with yourself hon especially when the one you love with all your heart and soul dies in your arms .
One time when I was 17 years old on a first date with a girl and we were sitting on a park bench showing each other different songs. We had an incredible day and it was just before sunset and tension, love, and all the fuzziness was high. I decide to show her this specific song and video here on RU-vid. It starts playing and about mid-way through we share a kiss. This was also my first ever kiss. This was also one of the best moments of my life and I will remember it forever. I have not spoken to this girl in over 5 years, but I will cherish her forever because of this specific moment.. and this song of course.
to alexandra h... i know you'll probably never listen to this. you never really listened to my type of music. but if some miracle occurs and you're here, somehow, i reading this, i want you to know i still love you. i think i always will. and that scares me in a way, because i know you don't love me anymore. but we did have a good run, i think. you brought out the best person in me, you made me hopeful of the world, you made me believe that love didn't mean that you would hurt me. i'm listening to this song on my bed and i'm thinking about all the good times we had together.. when we went to the cinemas at macquarie for our second date and you wore my yellow jumper and we cuddled, and i rested my hand on your thigh and took it away for a split second and you pulled it back, because you said me touching you made you feel calm. for my birthday, when we went to the city and just danced around near the harbour bridge and sat on top of that hill eating mcdonalds and sharing my gravy fries. you said you had never had gravy fries before dating me. all the times we went to macquarie and castle towers after school and we would go to the arcade bathrooms to make out. you were my first love alex. you took all my firsts- and that will always be a part of me and i hate it. but i knew i had to let you go, i could tell you lost interest in me. and as much as that breaks my heart... loving someone means you want whats best for them. and me being apart from you was what would make you happy, even though it kills me. sometimes i still wonder if you think of me? i wonder if you kept the love letters i wrote you, the poems, the flowers i dried for you. the shirt i gave you, do you still smell it and think of me? when you bath do you think of the time we bathed together? because every little fucking thing reminds me of you. my bangs i cut because you told me, the teddies you bought me. whenever someone mentions russia my mind goes straight to you. sometimes i'll wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare and i'll go to call you... but you're not there anymore. it's not the same without you alex, you were my muse. i've lost a fire inside of me. i lost my love, my hope, my sunshine. but you're happier, i hope. i really do. i spend every 11:11 wishing that one day we'll find each other again and be able to live out all our shared fantasies. i love you, my princess, my baby, my bunny, my kitten, my sunshine, my cupcake, my strawberry... i will always love you
I came back to this song because I felt nostalgic. Listened to this on repeat after my breakup. Reading this comment brought everything back. I still love you, Mina. It's weird to type out your name after all this time. But it's time to let go. Thank you for everything we were and maybe we'll meet again in the future
I go back and listen to this at least once a month to remind me why I fell in love with this man in the first place. This means so much to me. To us. Thank you.
ATTENTION BROTHER!!! I have two very very hot girlfriends who I present in my highly disturbing videos (I smell like 100 de*d orang utans oh nooo)! Thank you for you attention, dear dude kid ophone
hard to swallow pill: quite a lot of people did actually already know this song but didn't pay much attention to the original recording's audio quality didnt make it sound as good. a lot of people like it now cuz the good audio really adds to the atmosphere of the song and gives it the justice it deserves. it was never really a secret. it was a diamond in the rough. pls stop complaining about its surge in popularity. had it been released like this years ago, it'd be just as popular.
I'm here again... Cause for some reason... she's here again... and I always come back here to remind myself of the moment I first heard this... the past version of myself that I don't ever wanna go back to... the feelings and memories that I have buried deep within my conscience... and her...
I know you’re out there and we have different paths now. This song was used to be our favorite one and we were happy that time. But i guess, just like what happened to matty healy, maybe we came to make each other happier and in the end we’ll ended up to be the 102 of the both of us - never to stay.
An absolutely beautiful song so many of us can relate to. It's so sad when you like someone close to you and they talk about the people they like, and how I just can't seem to get over him and hope for the outcome that one day he might like me. The 1975 is able to perfectly capture this feeling with 102 and fallingforyou
This song reminds me of my friend when we were hanging out, i was in love with her for awile, but now we haven't seen each other for almost 5 years. Hope you are happy Jovana
my boy. i see you holding her in the hallways every day now. it makes me wonder if you ever felt that way about me. i miss you. i’ve moved on, i have new people, but i still think of you. always remember i’ll always meet you at the common.
