So this post is my review on a certain song by a boy band that some of you might of heard of. I won't be surprised if you don't know who they are. They're called One Direction... Yeah, my bad. If you haven't heard if them, you've probably been living under a rock for the last few years.
Anywaaays... The song which I'm reviewing is called 'Don't Forget Where You Belong' and it's basically putting out a message that no matter how big and sucessful 1D get and no matter how long they're away from home, they'll always remember where they came from. *sigh* I know, I had my own little 'awe that's so cute' moment too.
The song was actually written by one of my favourite bands 'McFly' whom I've been a fan of for longer than I can imagine. I actually discovered 1D through another song that McFly wrote for them off their first album called 'I Want'. You should check that out too! My point is that all the material that McFly have ever produced for 1D has been top class so when I found out that they'd wrote 'Don't Forget Where You Belong' too, I knew it was going to be great before I even heard it.
One thing I like about this song is the bridge (the bit in the middle) because it is shared between Louis and Zayn and I think that their voices go really well together. I also like that they sing that bit together without any harmonies because, don't get me wrong, I do love all the fancy harmonising but I think the fact that there were no harmonies in that bit gives it a kind of raw, simple side which helps get the message across.
This song also had a good strong drum beat which means it's easy to tap along to - good news for all the musically challenged people like me. Infact, I find that the whole song has more notable parts for the instruments than most of the other songs. I don't know if this is because it was written by 4 musicians but I do know that I like it.
Now this song can't win the title of my favourite song off Midnight Memories because that spot is taken by 'Better Than Words', purely because of Niall's "Tssssssss" sound however, it does take away two awards for:
Song with the best message and
Musically best song
On a side note, I think it'd be pretty hard to forget where you belong. Don't you??
Great song 1D and congrats on the success of your new album!! Happy 2014 :) LucyLou
