Tumblr's been blocked for the nth time here in our office, so basically, my life sucks right now. -_-
Anyway, it's been a while since I last posted, so might as well rave about the best thing in the world today: the release of One Direction's follow-up single to "Live While We're Young", "Little Things" last October 29, 2012.
One word to describe the whole song: PERFECTION. ♥
I virtually fell in love the first time I heard it. The ingenuity of the lyrics, the acoustic vibe, the husky voices of Harry and Zayn, and of course, the harmonization of One Direction. The song fits them perfectly.
The lyrics were penned by the forever awesome Ed Sheeran (yeah, the guy behind "Lego House"), a close friend of the band and the same guy who wrote "Moments" (one of my favorites) for One Direction's debut album "Up All Night".
God bless this guy because he even went against his management to make One Direction sing this song. *____*
The song "Little Things" can be coined as the older sister of "What Makes You Beautiful". While WMYB is an upbeat track, "Little Things" is a more mature, subtle and relaxed one. Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook virtually exploded with spazz posts about the song, and I am one of them.
Here goes the lyrics of this awesome song~ Go ahead and weep. ♥
Zayn:
Your hand fits in mine, like it’s made just for me.
But bear this in mind it was meant to be
And I’m joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me.
Liam:
I know you’ve never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You’ve never loved your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I’ll love them endlessly
Zayn:
I won’t let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it’s you
Oh it’s you they add up to
I’m in love with you, and all these little things
Louis:
You can’t go to bed without a cup of tea
Maybe that’s the reason you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me
Harry:
I know you’ve never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you’re perfect to me
I won’t let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it’s true, it’s you
It’s you they add up to
I’m in love with you, and all these little things
Niall:
You’ll never love yourself half as much as I love you
You’ll never treat yourself right darling
But I want you to
If I let you know I’m here for you
Maybe you’ll love yourself like I love you oh.
Harry:
And I’ve just let these little things slip out of my mouth
Cause it’s you, oh it’s you, it’s you they add up to
All:
And I’m in love with you and all these little things
I won’t let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it’s true, it’s you
It’s you they add up to
I’m in love with you, and all your little things

I teared up, okay?? T_____T The sweetness of the song is just so overwhelming. I virtually fell in love the first time I heard it. When Zayn and the rest of the lads started to sing, I just melted into a pool of water. Their voices are so soothing, calm, and relaxing--which made me fall in love with each one of them even more. It's a song of a guy who is so in love with a girl despite her imperfections. *sigh* Where the hell can I find a guy like that? Ed Sheeran practically dug out all of my insecurities and wrote about it.
Definitely one of the sweetest songs I've heard in years.
Hearing the lads sing it makes it more sweeter. I definitely cannot fathom myself screaming if I am going to watch it live---I'll just freeze in my place, feel the song, stare at the awesomeness that is One Direction, and let my tears freely flow. *sigh*
So yeah, "Little Things" now joins the ranks of my wedding song list, which includes a1's "Heaven By Your Side", NSYNC's "This I Promise You", and TVXQ's "On&On". <3
Here's the pretty catch~ "What Makes You Beautiful" tells you you're beautiful, "Little Things" make you believe that you are beautiful.
