The 1975 - Robbers (Explicit)

'Robbers' is a love song, it was originally inspired by my love of the Quentin Tarantino film 'True Romance', the story of an Elvis obsessed loner who falls in love and marries a prostitute. In the movie the couple run away to California after killing her pimp and stealing his drugs to start a new life financed by a once in a lifetime drug deal. It's the sentiment behind the film that appeals to me, the hopelessly romantic notion that two people can meet and instantly fall in love, an escape story where love is the highest law and conquers all against the odds. Characters like Bonnie and Clyde always appealed to me as a teenager - couples so intoxicated with one another that they fear nothing in the pursuit of the realization of each other, actions fueled by blind unconditional love.

'Robbers' is an ode to those relationships. The type of relationship all humans long for. All or nothing.

This video is about when love makes two people feel they are the centre of the universe.

Up high. San Francisco. California. 2013-2014.

Every time I go to LA and I am roaming around with Eddie, he asks me what I want to do, and it's always the same, "I want to go up high." I enjoy the view. He never wants to go up high though, so we always end up at Wacko's. Andrew asked me once the same question he asks people he interviews of why anyone would ____________________. I answered with the same sentiment, "I would do it for the view." Sometimes you need to just unplug and enjoy the view. It's as simple as that. This is my secret place that I like to go to for the view. Especially around dusk and if the clouds are especially beautiful. Even if you cannot go up high for a view, all you have to do is look up.

The 1975. The Fillmore. San Francisco. California. 4.17.2014.

What time you coming down?
We started losing light.
I'll never make it right
If you don't want me around,
I'm so excited for the night,
All we need's my bike and your enormous house
You said some day we might
When I'm closer to your height
'Til then we'll knock around, endlessly
You're all I need

Don't you see me now?
I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you,
Don't you need me?
I, I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you,
And on this night and in this light,
I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you
Maybe you'll change your mind
I think I'm falling, I think I'm falling

I'm caught on your coat again
You said, "Oh, no, it's fine,"
I read between the lines
And touched your leg again, again
I'll take you one day at a time,
Soon you will be mine,
Oh but I want you now (I want you now)
When the smoke is in your eyes,
You look so alive,
Do you fancy sitting down with me? Maybe?

You're all I need
According to your heart,
My place is not deliberate,
Feeling of your arms
I don't wanna be your friend,
I wanna kiss your neck

Don't you see me?
I, I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you
Don't you need me?
I, I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you
And on this night and in this light
I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you
Maybe you'll change your mind


-Falling for You

Sheraton. Los Angeles. California. 4.7.2014-4.16.2014.

Every time I'm telling secrets
I remember how it used to be
And I realized how much I miss you
And I realize how it feels to be free

Now I see I'm up to no good
And I wanna start again
Can't remember when I felt good
No I can't remember when

No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams

Couldn't see how much I missed you
Couldn't see how much it meant
Now I see my world come tumbling down
Now I see the road is bent

If I only once could hold you
And remember how it used to be
If only I could scold you
And forget how it feels to be free

No, no, no, no, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams

I ate there 3 times since I was staying near by. Tasty all 3 times. I loved the shrimp scampi. But really, I was entranced by their patisserie assortment.
