i like it when you sleep, for it is where the worries meet with all desires complex and small that materialise upon your wall. i like it when you sleep, for the reasons i can't so i jealously squirm and count moles on your arms The album’s second single is one that we likened to Stardust’s ‘The Music Sounds Better With You’ when it was first premiered at a gig in Liverpool. It’s all down to that piercing synth stab that just doesn’t let up.

Drums, Percussion, Keyboards, Programmed By [Programming], Synthesizer [Synthesizers] – George Daniel i like it when you sleep, for my return after weeks is an incomplete feeling when you are not dreaming Music Direct reserves the right to change the terms of this promotion or discontinue this offer at any time. Conversely, ‘This Must Be My Dream’ starts off positive, with Matty finding a girl who’ll “rearrange my world” before it all goes sour. “I thought it wasn’t love,” he sighs at one point, realising he was wrong, but it’s too late – “You got excited and now you find your girl/Won’t get you undressed or care about your beating chest.” A sparkling melody elevates everything to despondent new heights, while another caramel sax solo slaps a whole load of sophistication onto Matty’s misfortune. 15. Paris Never one to shy away from talking about serious or deeply personal problems (just go read any interview with Matty), ‘UGH!’ details the frontman’s struggles with cocaine. It could be self-indulgent or self-pitying, but it’s not. Instead, it’s very clever, darkly funny and tells it as it is – albeit with some flowery language thrown in for good effect.

The Sound’ is one of the record’s most upbeat songs, both musically and lyrically – the chorus at least. The verses around it are filled with jibes and deceit ( “You’re so conceited that I say that I love you/What does it matter if I lie to you?” combines both), until it all erupts with a final, glorious diss ( “We left things to protect my mental health/But you’ll call me when you’re bored and you’re playing with yourself”). It’s all capped off by a triumphantly scorching solo from Adam. 14. This Must Be My Dream This would ordinarily be the album’s tearjerker anyway, best listened to with a bumper box of tissues within arm’s reach, no matter what song it followed. But given ‘Paris” effect, it’s made even more intense. Matty sings about the death of his grandma over acoustic guitar and soft keys, reminiscing on their times together and imagining what he’d tell her if she walked into the room. There’s a return to his questioning of religion, trying to give himself some comfort ( “I know that God doesn’t exist, and all the palaver surrounding it/But I like to think that you can hear me sometimes”), but the most heartbreaking bit comes right at the end when the music starts to dim and he croaks “I’m bereft, you see/I think you can tell/I haven’t been doing too well.” 17. She Lays Down
