“In ‘Best Song Ever’, a song that ordinary listeners would not exactly consider overly sentimental or profound, there is one lyric that will always stand out for the fans to represent One Direction’s legacy perfectly: “I hope you’ll remember how we danced.” Ten years later, we haven’t forgotten.”

Past Lives (2023)

ppl can grieve who he was while he was in the band while simultaneously understanding and supporting a victim of his.

it’s mourning the memories and emotions not the person he was behind closed doors.
