How does one dispense another's affection without breaking their spirit? The 1975 may have the answer in their recently released music video for 'A Change Of Heart'. True to The 1975's style, they surprise and press forward without apologizing (in which case they should never have to when it comes to creative control). The video depicts a male and female mime (reminisce from the 1920's) complete with carnival games, choreographed dance sequences and a sudden moment of realization that one is not as in love with the other as they use to be.
While it's a part of life to have a change of heart as we grow older and find other specific wants within a significant other. The 1975 have never shied away from emotions that seem a bit on the taboo side of adulthood. Are we allowed to fall for someone else, when we are in a current relationship? Whatever your answer happens to be is up to you.
'A Change Of Heart' has the childlike wonderment which comes with the beginning of new events in life. Between the black and white setting and the idea of mime's is priceless. Wholeheartedly, what kind of actor can show that source and range of conviction without ever needing a single piece of dialogue. Eventually the woman shows her disinterest in the male lead (played by Matt Healy) and it may be because of his actions, yet he too even begins to slightly loose interest. However, still at the end hands over the last bit of shelter from the small rain cloud above them to her. Actions speak louder than words and The 1975 have given us an excellent example and piece of art worthy of expressing exactly what needs to be heard.
