Review of One Direction's Midnight Memories
I received One Direction's new album, Midnight Memories, over Thanksgiving break. I feel that, as a blogger and a Directioner, I should review this album for you all.
1 Best Song Ever- Let's face it, we have been hearing this song since August. The music video makes this song ten times better. It is still extremely exciting and is a great way to begin the album.
2 Story of My Life- Again, we have been hearing this one for weeks. The video is adorable; however, it does not reflect the content of the song. The one part that bothers me is "I steal her love until she's broke inside." What does this mean? We will probably never know.
3 Diana- According to an unknown source, this song is similar to a 90s ballad. In my opinion, it could symbolize human trafficking. "We speak a different language, but I still hear your call."
4 Midnight Memories- This is the first of a few songs that are promiscuous. It talks about not going home alone and dancing in the street.
5 You and I- According to the same unknown source, this is similar stylistically to a recurring ballad in an 80s romantic drama. It discusses said couple never breaking up. The one part that is spiritually disappointing is "not even the gods above can separate the two of us." It was enough for my brother-in-law to change the song. Zayn, one of the boys, is Muslim, but for Christians this is not okay.
6 Don't Forget Where You Belong- This is a sweet song describing the boys' homesickness and love for their family.
7 Strong- The boys admit that their girlfriends make them stronger.
8 Happily- The boy is encouraging a friend to end her relationship and be with him.
9 Right Now- A boy describes a night in a new city with friends and wishes that his girl was there with him as he has fresh experiences.
10 Little Black Dress- promiscuous. Skip this one.
11 Through the Dark- This is Mumford and Sons, 1D style, complete with acoustic guitars and a solid beat. It discusses a boy carrying his girl through anything.
12-14 Also promiscuous. Skip these (Something Great, Little White Lies, and Better Than Words)
15 Why Don't We Go There- This is the second most promiscuous song on this album. Skip it.
16 Does He Know?- A boy sees a girl that he barely knows at a club. She has hot dancing skills about which her boyfriend does not know. He wants her to love him. This could encourage unfaithfulness even before marriage.
17 Alive- This has the prize for most promiscuous. A boy does whatever he wants with many girls. Skip it.
18 Half a Heart- This redeems the last half of the album. A boy regrets a breakup and realizes that his girl is everything to him. "I'm half a heart without you."
Thanks for reading! Have a Merry CHRISTmas!
