“Playing On My Mind” is a track from English alternative band The 1975 that appears on their fourth studio album, Notes On A Conditional Form. Lead singer Matty Healy mentioned the song title in his interview with NME:
There’s ‘Playing On My Mind’ [on NOACF]. It’s just me asking loads of me trying...
[Verse 1]
Will I live and die in a band?
My consciousness controls my hand
She can't swim very well
(No, but you wouldn’t be able to tell)
Let's find something to watch, then watch our phones for half the time
When we go for food, you have yours and I'll have mine
It says, "Don’t take these pills if you've been drinking any wine"
Oh, these things, they have been playing on my mind
These things, they have been playing on my mind
[Verse 2]
I think I've seen the side of every road
They all lead somewhere, I've been told
Will I get divorced when I'm old?
(Oh, why am I always cold?)
And I met one of your friends, and it was dead nice
He was fine, but he said
"Things that interest me exist outside of space and time"
Now, I know I should've left it, but who says that? What a sigh
It all kicked off and it's been playing on my mind
The whole thing has been playing on my mind
[Verse 3]
I think it's strange that I still call you
When I’ve got nothing to say
The truth is that I still adore you
And nothing really matters anyway
But I won’t get clothes online 'cause I get worried about the fit
But that rule don’t apply concerning my relationships
See, I keep getting this stuff wrong, take me out, put me on
Oh, these things, they have been playing on my mind
The whole thing has been playing on my mind
Oh, it's all been just playing on my mind

This takes us back into that American, James Taylor-y, Jackson Browne-y kind of sound. Again, Phoebe is just great to have there. As soon as I write something, if I get her to put a harmony on it or to just do something over the top of it, it completely changes. And that was really easy and really n...

“Playing On My Mind” was the track that took the longest, because I used it as a crèche for other songs. I wrote so many lyrics that I would pluck out and put on other songs. I just kept cannibalising it and using it as a drawing board for lyrical ideas. It started as little folk guitar riffs and i...
