liam's falsetto gives
me life on this ho
me: so
he's of some use in this band, is what you're saying?
K-friend: girl
liam sang like all the first verses of every song on the other album
he arguably has the
2nd best voice/best voice depending on who you're talking to in the band
king zayn tho
king. zayn.
me: hahaha
thanks for giving me
some knowledge
K-friend: i'm
embarrassed by this knowledge
me: I
think I can only recognize Zayn and Harry's voice, tbh
but maybe Liam now?
K-friend: yeah
louis' is pretty distinctive
too
it's pretty high and
bright
me: is
he the nasally one?
K-friend: he's
the one that sang the bridge of this song
hmmm i'll point him
out on another song

rage?

lovely
K-friend: dimples

i'm waiting for you to
get to c'mon c'mon
me: dimples
in backs? isn't that just everyone's back?
just
ugh
just because you made
it acoustic doesn't mean it's significant
K-friend: could
we please write that
in a card
and then send it to ed
sheeran?
his entire oeuvre is
bullshit like this
and yet 17 year olds
think this shit is moving as all get out
me: he's
like the new Birdie
K-friend: he
wrote this fucking song
me: whose
all
if it's slow, it's
golden
K-friend: I
CANNOT WITH BIRDIE
me: C'MON

workhorse on thsi album

K-friend: zayn
being a goddamn king
me: of

it was good
K-friend: are
we last first kissing?
cuz that first verse
is liam
me: yes

K-friend: bridge
is prince harry
you can hear louis
really loudly in the chorus
over most of the other
guys
me: okay
I could deffo tell
that was prince harry
he's so ~scratchy
also
this song is so 14
year old journal
K-friend: the
2nd verse is niall adn then louis
me: did
taylor swift ghost write it?
K-friend: then
zayn bridging it and giving me the vapors
of course
but there's not enough
playing the victim
so probably not taylor
god i can't wait for
you to hear change your mind
that is some taylor
swift bullshit
me: hahahaha
K-friend: although
liam's falsetto is bless
me: this
is kind of BSB-ish
like, BSB filler with
modern "ooo"s
K-friend: lol
yesss
OMFG thsi next song is
HILARIOUS
me: heart
attack

it together
me: ooo,

usually talentless
but look at him
growing up
zayn does like nothing
on this song except for the runs at the end

K-friend: idk
if on this song
liam's the chorus
with zayn for flawfree
harmonies
me: "are

me: this
is such a sadsack song
"she's just not
that into you, okay???"
K-friend: taylor
swift type of fuckery in my opinion
me: "I
would"
K-friend: this
sassy ass acoustic guitar
i kinda love this song
but the lyrics
are so DUMB
like twilight levels
of dumb
me: why
does harry sound so old right now?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
these lyrics
K-friend: his
VFs got thick and fat
me: and
the drums
K-friend: (like
his dick) idk
me: GURL
K-friend: LOL

me: okay
K-friend: 27

a bone, I guess
K-friend: lolllll

"would he please
u"
me: oh
K-friend: louis
sings the bridge
i mean
OH DAMN HEY HARRY

K-friend: "said
i'd never leave her cuz her hands fit like my tshirt"

hands fit like my tshirt?
K-friend: i
am dying
me: oh
acoustic again
K-friend: polo
it's ed sheeran
who wrote this shit
AGAIN
me: I
can tell
this is not
significant
K-friend: omfg
this is
dreadfuckingfull
"i can make your
tears fall down like the showers that are british"
NEED THIS ON A PILLOW
me: "that
are british"
"that are
british"
?????????
K-friend: i
can't breathe
omfg
this is my new
favorite song
because this is
hysterical
also
K-friend: lmfao
right?!?!
me: why
are they occasionally bone thugs and harmony with these lyrics
?
K-friend: OMFG
I HEAR THAT TOO
me: TOO
MANY LYRICS
that are british
K-friend: herearesomanywordsrapidfire
that are british
me: same
joke
K-friend: omg
the last line of that song
me: twin
brains
K-friend: i
cannot
love you 
me: "back
for you"
is this some pop punk
circa 2002?
K-friend: definitely
an avril lavigne b-side
with strings
sure
me: the
chorus loses it
but the verses,
totally
K-friend: yeah
the chorus tries to be this epic
weirdness
with string action
me: i'm
not feeling this
it's reminding me too
much of music in middle/high school
which i didn't like
K-friend: yeah
it's totes filler
but i can tolerate it
me: tolerable,
yes
K-friend: GOD
YES THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT US
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR
MY HUSBAND ZAYN KILL THIS
me: this
cheesy ass piano riff is so winning
K-friend: THEY
DON'T ABOUT THINGS WE DO
god this song is a
spiritual experience
me: I
LOVE YOU
they would just be
jealous 'bout us
this is some boy band
perfection
K-friend: it
truly freaking is
UP ALL NIGHT
i see what you did
there guys
i see it
me: 
?
K-friend: and
also plugging their first album
so ~meta~~~~~
me: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
I get it now.
K-friend: lol
zayn
from
2:41
is LIFE
me: although
this song is >>>>>>>> than that whole album
K-friend: YES
me: I
love that Zayn is the go to riffer
he truly is the JC of
the band
maybe even the Brian
AJ?
K-friend: OH
SHIT GIRL
BRIAN WAS MY MAN
no wonder i'm
obsessed.mp3 with zayn
me: lol!
does one direction
have a Kevin?
they're all too baby
to be Kevin
K-friend: well
liam is supposed to be "daddy direction" because he sorta takes care
of them all even though he's not the oldest
why.
do.
i.
know.
this?
me: is
this from fan fiction?
K-friend: no
he says it in
interviews
i WISH it was fanfic
me: also
this chord progression in "summer love" is kind of surprising
K-friend: what
is this bootleg country twang
in this song
me: is
there twang?
K-friend: the
chorus
is definitely giving
me
taylor swift's earlier
albums
me: is
it the finger picking?
K-friend: this
song is terrible
me: also
this is terrible
K-friend: it's
not even good terrible
like SHOWERS
(that are british)
this is just like
um no thx
me: "she's
not afraid"
thanks, harry
K-friend: tight
dress~~~~
Sent at 6:17 PM
on Tuesday
me: can
I confess I'm getting upbeat poppy music overload?
this song is not
registering at all
Sent at 6:19 PM
on Tuesday
K-friend: yeah
i went to pee during
it and now it's over
so that's how i feel
about it
these bonus tracks
aren't doign it for me
me: "kiss
you on the mouth"
oh
K-friend: there's
a reason why they're bonuses i guess
this is the target
version of the CD
the regular CD ends at
summer love
me: "I've
been waiting all this time to finally say it"
whatever harry
i don't really care
K-friend: lmfao
me: just
shut up and move on
K-friend: this
is kinda 80s synthy
and boring as fuck
me: hahaha
K-friend: i'm
a second from skipping
me: I'm
powring through
zayn is not even
saving this drivel
K-friend: i
know right like
zayn you're trying hon
but
yawn
me: this
is O-town levels of mediocre
K-friend: lmfao
shit girl
that is some
mediocrity right there
me: they
were clearly the bottom of the boy band totem pole
slightly above LFO
let's be honest
K-friend: idk
even LFO had a hit
did o town ever?
oh wait
IS IT ALL
OR NOTHING AT ALLLLL
me: yeppppp
K-friend: god
i hate myself for remembering that
me: hahahahahahaha
and that song was
catchier than whatever this is
"nobody
compares"
K-friend: can
harry stop talking about girls in sexy dresses?
i'm good
me: hahahaha
so true
K-friend: this
is slightly less low-budget than
the last 3 songs
but it's still pretty
low budget
me: I
feel like everyone on this song is a skipping record
because they keep
repeating phrases
over
and over
K-friend: TOTALLY
me: like
they're lyrics
they just filled in
the rest of the verse lines with the same exact lines
K-friend: maybe
ed sheeran should write more songs
his lyrics are, um,
~new
me: at
leas they would 'MEET US AT THE CROSSROADS'
"andimgonnamisserrrybahdy"
clearly this pop
overload is going to my brain
I also want to point
out not one of these songs is over 4:00
so snappy
K-friend: i
love their attack
just get in, slap a
catchy hook and then get the fuck out before people can actually think about
what you're singing
it's a great tactic
me: it
truly is
K-friend: re-listening
to over again
so i can lol
me: I'm
still on "Still the One"
K-friend: holding
the middle of my heart like a polo
HOW.
is this kid
me: it's
kind of holding my interest
also
K-friend: FAMOUS?
me: polo
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Sent at 6:29 PM
on Tuesday
me: wooo
it's over
okay
overall, pretty good
album
the bonus songs are
bonus for a reason
K-friend: hahahah
exactly
me: stay
away from ed sherenenenen
K-friend: stand
out tracks?
for me it's kiss you,
they don't know about us, rock me, and i would
but i have to give it
up for over again because "showers that are british" is just
magic
me: so
true
I would toss in
"heart attack" for adorableness
K-friend: oh
my god how did i forget about
OW~
me: OW!
K-friend: how
do i find someone young enough
to go to their concert
in ----- with me
so i don't look like a
damn grandma
me: hahahaha
fin.
