Listening to Harry at the start;  PERFECT. It's like a lead into the chorus, giving such a chill vibe like being around a late night bonfire with a guitar.
Bless these boys. They KNEW exactly how to draw me back in perma. The sound they're going for sonically is more mature and laidback. Something FOUR tries but sounded more upbeat pop than it was trying for. |
Bless this post.
The issue with FOUR (although I love it) is it tries dressing up stuff like WDBHG as 'mature' when it's simply a pop song with synths traded for guitars because they knew they were going on tour. On this album, they've had to actually think about doing things different to show their maturity rather than just shove an increasing amount of guitars on everything, because that won't wash well since it's not being toured.
Even songs that sound a little recycled, like End of the Day, have mature lyrics rather than production. I mean, if you'd told me even a week ago that One Direction would have the lyrics 'you can love who you love, there ain't no other way' in one of their catchiest choruses, I'd have told you to **** off pretty much.
I really do feel an immense sense of pride.
