Respect The Artist
I just… I’ll be really… sad? Pissed? Angry? Devastated? Embarrassed? Disappointed… if anything from any of the lads solo albums gets leaked… I mean…
Leaks destroy artists. It’s a serious thing. Sometimes leaks come from inside, which means stabs to the artist’s back and that’s just… despicable… rude… unacceptable… i don’t have any other words it’s just a big fat no. And those that are external are a total invasion of privacy and very very very nasty.
Harry (specifically harry in this case) has worked his arse off to keep things on the lowest of lows. Another man dropped on us like a bomb, he made sure to surround himself with a team that kept his artistic views a secret, just how he wanted it. And it was better that way, i can assure you. The fact that it dropped on us made it that much special. You can tell he’s fighting to keep things how he planned them, and it would break me in half if something got leaked, if he felt like someone broke his trust.
Fine, i am not harry styles, therefore i have no control over who he tells things to, or what he feels, but as a person that loves him and wants to support him and his art, i would hate it if things didnt go his way and just the thought, the imagination of him possibly feeling sad about a leak, is enough to make me so very disappointed. Sad. Angry. Etc. Just imagining that he could be feeling like his work went to crap, makes me feel like crap.
It may not look it but i mean this for ALL of the 1D boys (and any artist out there) Let them surprise us, let them do the things how they planned, it’s not that hard to be respectful of their material, their feelings, their hard work. We’ve waited very long for something, let’s not ruin it by trying to make the process quicker. If it’s good today, it’ll be good tomorrow when it was supposed to be released. Tomorrow always comes. Treat this as it deserves. Something special. If the lads are that special to you and you go around screaming about how much they mean to you, so should their work. So treat this as the special thing you’re claiming it is.
This is NOT a jab at anyone. These are just words that have been spinning around in my head… For a long time. This has always been my stance when it came to leaks. These words might mean nothing to you but to me they do. It’s my silent prayer that we can have something special, something wonderful, and some patience. I want to get this wonderful material ASAP myself. But ASAP is and will always be ASATWT. - As soon as they want to. -
Anyways. You may not agree. You may think I’m talking nonsense. You may ignore this. I just… this is my blog, it sounds rude but, if I can’t speak my mind here, then were? We can make this extra special.
Respect the artist’s vision. Respect the exhausting hours of work. Respect their plans. Respect their material. Respect their decisions. Respect their privacy.
Respect the artist.
