One Direction Appreciation Month!
Day 22: Member of choice + Favorite 1D Solos:
(This has been giving me hives because of how hard it is to narrow down… I’ve decided to just add in bits that immediately spring to mind!)
Towards the end of “Kiss Me” - “so tell me girl if every time we tooooooouuuuuccccccchhhhh”
“Little Things” - “you can’t go to bed without a cup of tea, but maybe that’s the reason that you talk in your sleep”
“Teenage Dirtbag” - his whole verse… gorgeous.
“18” - “I have loved you since I was 18…”
“C’mon, C’mon” - the way louis MOANS “c’mon c’mon, move a little closer NOW”
“No Control” - literally every time he opens his mouth in this song
Not a solo, but literally carrying every chorus, ever. Hearing them sing “What Makes You Beautiful” and hearing Louis ringing through… amazing.
“Drag Me Down” - THAT “dooowwwnnn” (twice)
“What Makes You Beautiful” - his solo towards the end
“Midnight Memories” - his voice throughout this… a thing of beauty to be sure!
“Teenage Dirtbag” - “her name is Noelle”
“Strong” - “I’m sorry if I say I need ya, but I don’t care, I’m not scared of love”
“Happily” - (maybe not technically a solo, but) “I don’t care what people say when we’re together, you know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep, I just want it to be you and I forever, I know you wanna leave so come on, baby be with me so happily”
“Little Things” - “I know you’ve never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile, you’ve never loved your stomach or thighs, the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine, but I’ll love them endlessly”
“Last First Kiss” - “Girl what would you do, would you wanna stay, if I were to say…”
“Teenage Dirtbag” - Liam DEFINITELY doesn’t get enough credit for his falsetto verse in this!
“Alive” - “My mother told me I should go and get some therapy, I asked the doctor can you think of what is wrong with me, I don’t know why I wanna be with every girl I meet, I can’t control it and I know it’s taking over me”
“Right Now” - “Love these faces, just like how it used to beeee”
“Strong” - (some of my favorite lyrics ever) “My heart, your heart, sir right like bookends, pages between us, written with no end, so many words we’re not saying, but there’s nothing I’m running from, you make me strong”
“Little White Lies” - “That’s all I’m thinking about, all I keep thinking about, everything else just fades awaaayyy”
“Little Things” - his whole little verse, but especially: “If I let you know I’m here for you, then maybe you’ll love yourself like I (you sing!) love you”
“Kiss You” - “making them drool down their chinny chin chins, baby be mine tonight, mine tonight, baby be mine tonight, yeah!”
“Midnight Memories” - “You and me and all our friends, I don’t care how much we spend, baby this what the night is foooooorrrr”
“Better Than Words” - “You make me wanna *tss* one more night, irreplaceable, yeah but crazy, crazy”
“You and I” - “‘cause you and iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii”
“Story of my Life” - “And I’ve been waiting for this time to come around, but baby running after you is like chasing the clouds”
“Moments” - “…there’s a pile of my clothes at the end of your bed, as I feel myself fall, make a joke of it aaaaaaaallll”
“They Don’t Know About Us” - his chorus, but also, “But I wanna tell ‘em, I wanna tell the world that you’re mine, girrrrl”
“Steal My Girl” - “She be my Queen since we were sixteen, we want the same things, we dream the same dreams, alright, I got it all ‘cause she is the one, her mom calls me love, her dad calls me son”
