About This Track
A stripped-back acoustic track about unrequited love, '102' finds Matty Healy lamenting a connection that never quite reciprocated. The song unfolds as a series of small intimacies, compliments about shoes and mannerisms, the lingering smell of a shirt, each detail a small failure to bridge the distance between two people. By the chorus, the numbered title becomes clear: a late-night phone call, the pair talking into the small hours about someone else entirely. It's tender and rueful in equal measure. The track had evolved over several years before appearing on 'A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships', arriving as a Japan bonus track. Against the album's genre-hopping ambition and production flourishes, '102' stands apart: just voice and guitar, no artifice. A Dork five-star record deserves moments of unguarded simplicity, and this is one of them. In its restraint lies its power.
"102" is a track by The 1975, from the album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, released 30th November 2018. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about The 1975.
