Watch "Louis Tomlinson | Copy Of A Copy Of A Copy REACTION!!" on YouTube

So this guy showed up in my recommended videos on YouTube and I've never seen his videos shared here, so without further ado...

Every broken heart as far as your eye can see It's a copy of a copy of a copy

[berlinini]

It's an old curse, dreamers divin' head first / Broken beaks and dead birds / Can't get through the glass / There's no use cryin' over spilled blood / Carin' only kills love / A kiss won't bring it back

[Copy of a Copy of a Copy by Louis Tomlinson]

Day 1 of @louisprojects' #LouiesForHallouween

Copy is really that bitch. The main girlie. BUT it never got stuck in my head like Change. It just goes on allllll day long.

I know it’s not your fav but omgggg it’s got some hooks

I agree - Change really stays with you, and I think that shows Louis' talent at making music, because it's a nostalgic song, and it lingers on. I love the slight Beatles vibe too. As I've said before, I think the lyrics could be improved a little. But that doesn't mean I don't like the song haha - I do!!!

As for Copy, I always thought it was such a heavy, somber song, but the live version is so good - it's like the song takes on a new rhythm. It makes sense with Louis saying he wrote it having in mind it would be played live. I LOVE this little change in the live version, and it makes me love Louis' music even more when there are little tweaks in the live songs - musically or lyrically - because it shows he's thinking about live performances and putting on a good show (hello, guitar solo in fearless).

Someone on Twitter said:

copy = walls + otb

change = fearless + walls

And I agree! I love that there is always this common thread in Louis' songs - from his first songs with 1D to Just Hold On, even Just Like You, to Walls and now onto the new album. It's storytelling. It's also him showing how vulnerable he is.

Anyways, if these 2 songs are any indications of what's coming on LT2, we're gonna be very lucky! I can't wait!!!

hi clem!! i hope you’re doing well!

now that louis has officially announce there will be another album, when do you think it’ll be released? when do you think the first single will come out? do you think copy or change will be a single or do you think they’ll all be other songs? (sorry this is a lot of questions i just wanna chat lol)

Hello Sophia!

Thank you for these questions, which have sent me to Clown City and made me do the timeline post help.mp3 in order to properly think about it.

I have one (1) issue with AFHF and it is that Louis casually mentioned Change "going on the new album" and that's it!!! SIR!!! Give us details about LT2!!! (ok that's wrong, I have another issue, it's that he had the crowd sing my favorite verse in Defenseless and I will never forgive him for robbing us of hearing his perfect voice in this perfect song I hate him)

Now about your questions... I have no way to know so these are just 🔮thoughts 🔮

About Copyx3 being a single: I don't think so, and I don't even think it will be on the album - based on Louis' tweet saying he wasn't sure a studio version would ever exist. He performed the song in December 2020, which meant he has written it before. I think he's unsure how it would fit on LT2 and we know this man likes the album to tell a story. My guess is that he's "outgrown" the story of Copy and it would not fit with the theme of the new album.

About Change being a single: while this song breaks me every time I hear it, as I said here, it's not a favourite of mine. I personally don't think it would make a good single; it's too long (5 min) and a bit of a lackluster. But these criteria are based on a single having promo, including mostly radio, and we know how that goes for Louis... Also we know about the song now, so having it as a single wouldn't be a surprise. I'd much rather have new songs to discover!

About the timeline of LT2: look, I'm clowning very hard and strongly believe that we will get a music announcement during/at the end of the documentary on Saturday. Is it going to be about a single? An EP? An album? Who knows...

I don't know how much time Louis spent in the studio for Walls so it's hard to say if his studio days (that we know of) in 2021 are enough to make enough songs for an LP.

The theory of a EP makes sense - it gives music, you can have promo around singles, it gives him more songs to play on tour...

If Louis is working towards a proper album, I see potential 2 strategies:

- release the album before tour; making the tour's setlist a mix of Walls and LT2 (which would make me happy because he could finally drop the 1D covers but if I can't see him cover Beautiful War live I will cry). This would mean anytime between now and March 2022, which gives proper time for releasing 1 or 2 singles during the fall and maybe the album in early winter? Maybe the man got emotionally attached to January 31? haha

OR

- release the album after tour; but introduce some new songs on the tour's setlist. Album would drop in the summer 2022. That gives time to Louis to finalize the songs in the next couple of months before tour starts. In this case, I'm begging for a longer album - around 14-16 songs, to make it worth the wait. There could be a few singles released between now and the start of the tour.

I'm also still considering the idea of visual album (or most likely EP), because Louis mentioned "considering it" in a tweet and he never does anything for nothing ("odd change" my hated), because of his working relationship with Charlie, because he made 3 of his MVs for Walls into a mini-film, because Louis has a great sense for visual storytelling, because there's so much we don't know about 369 and the whole 369 merch drop's imagery was so intriguing (in the line of Walls MV). But making a visual album involves a lot of people, so it would be hard to keep it secret. So maybe it's a future project? I hope he does consider it, because I know it would be extraordinary.

There's a lot of possibilities... my worst fear is that nothing happen, in which case I will crumble. It would be mad not to use the momentum of the festival/stream event to announce some big news... we'd have to wait until tour starts and that would be really hard. At the same time, with the COVID situation, I believe everyone knows that worldwide tours are still a big question mark. I think the US leg of the tour will happen as scheduled. Anyways, what I meant is that if Louis knows that the tour is still up in the air, he's gotta work on other stuff and consider the timelines properly. Which could point to option 1 above.

Insert the meme of that crazy guy with papers on the board and the red strings and all.

What do you think will happen? Curious to hear your thoughts, and everyone's on the question!

Well since its festival i belive his setlist will be shorter then the livestream and i guess still no new music although i am hoping for a new single on a friday before

i hope so :)
