One Direction New Music Video!

You guys this an exciting day!  A new One Direction video has FINALLY come out!  I feel like it has been awhile.  When I heard You and I was going to be the next single I was surprised.  It it a slower song so I thought they would choose a more up tempo song.  Now that I've seen the video it all makes sense.  I'm OBSESSED with the video.  I've already watched it at least 10 times in an hour.  It's totally different from anything they have ever done.  The effects are so CRAZY!  They all morph into each other.  What more could you want?  This is in my top 5 favorite videos from them.  What do you think?  Let me know.

Midnight Memories!

It's finally here!  If you are a big One Direction fan like me then you've probably been waiting for their new video to primere.  Today the new video for Midnight Memories came out!  Every video they do just gets better and better.  Ben Winston directed it and I love when he films their videos.  He always captures who they actually are.  This time was no different.  I loved every second!  I had seen pictures all over Tumblr so I kinda knew what the theme was.  It fit them perfectly!  All I can say is if One Direction were at my house party I'd be in heaven!  It was funny and crazy just like them.  I've probably watched it 50 times already!  What are your thought?

♥November Favorites♥

Happy November you guys!  Can you guys believe Christmas is less than a month away?  I am super excited about the holidays this year.  If you have any blog requests let me know.  I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving!  Enjoy my favorites and share yours below.

Music:

My first song is I wish by Cher Llyod.  I'm kinda obsessed with her.  I just always love her music.  It's always just so different and original.  This song is about a guy you like but you aren't their type.  I really just love it.

My second song is Move by Little Mix.  I can't stop playing this song!  It is so catchy and is always in my head.  I love the video too.  It reminds me a lot of the 90's.  I can't wait until the album comes out!

My last song is Half A Heart by One Direction.  I couldn't not mention a song from their new album.  I'm obsessed with this song!  It is my favorite from the album.  I did a review on this blog if you want to check it out!

TV Show:

I've started watching the new PLL spin off called Ravenswood and now I can't stop.  It is totally different from anything I usually watch.  It is very creepy and freaks me out.  It's about a town with a curse and 5 teens are trying to solve it.  ABC Family always has the best shows.

Movie:

This is probably no surprise.  I loved The Hunger Games: Catching Fire!!!!!!  I read all the books so I knew what would happen.  Seeing it on screen was just AMAZING!  The costumes were just beautiful too.  I recommend reading the books first though.  The movie did leave out some pretty big plot lines.  It was still VERY good!

Food:

I can't stop eating pretzels this month.  I just think it is the best snack.  They are very filling and also healthier option than chips.  I'm not a health nut but since it's holiday time I'm cutting back.  Instead of eating candy all day just choose these.

Random:

My friend gave me a pad of paper that has the game Hangman on it.  I forgot how fun it was!  I'm horrible at it though.  I can never guess the word.  I've been practicing though.  It really makes your mind think which I like.

Scent:

I've recently discovered another scent I wore all the time.  It is Fancy by Jessica Simpson.  I'm pretty sure this is one of her first perfumes.  I just love how good it smells.  It also works really well for a day or night.  It has a sweet musky smell.

YouTuber:

I'm in with Michael Buckley on YouTube!  He is SUPER funny and loves pop culture as much as I do.  I'm subscribed to both of his channels.  On his main channel he does recaps of big pop culture news and he also does reviews.  Go check him out!

Quote:

I really love this quote.  It's important to have big dreams.  Never let anybody tell you that your dreams aren't reachable.  If you put your mind to it you do anything.  Even if you don't achieve them it's still nice to dream.  So just keep dreaming!

Moment:

I had a lot of great moments this month.  My favorite was taking my sister to her first concert.  We went to see Hunter Hayes.  It was so much fun!  She's starting college soon so it's nice to just hang out.

Midnight Memories Review

It's finally here!  It's the moment all One Direction fans have been waiting for!  Their third album is OFFICIALLY out right now!  It is everything I dreamed it would be.  This is by far the best yet!  It is a much more mature sound which I love.  I'm 24 so I'm glad they are targeting my age group.  Young fans might not enjoy it because it's more rock than pop.  It really fits them though.  Also they sound AMAZING!  All the boys are singing pretty equally now too.  Since they wrote most of the songs, they seem personal and more meaningful.  I really hope they tour near me so I can see these songs live.  I can't stop listening!  I got the deluxe version which includes 4 extra songs.  To know my thoughts on each song keep reading.  Tell me your favorite songs in the comments.

Tracks:
1. Best Song Ever:
This was the perfect first single.  It really sets the tone for the album.  It shows a little bit of the new mature sound but still pop.  It's very catchy too.  It's a song that will never get tired of.  Favorite lyric: You know, I know, you know I'll remember you, And I know, you know, I know you'll remember me

2. Story of My Life:
I'm so glad this is the current single.  It shows the more personal side of them especially in the video.  To me it's about reflecting on your life.  Life goes by so fast and it's nice to look back.  There are moments we all wish we could freeze and go back to.  Favorite lyric: And I'll be waiting for this time to come around But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

3. Diana:
This song is totally for the fans.  It's all about how they have saved our lives.  They also know that we have changed their lives as well.  You can always tell that they love us all and this song just proves it.  Favorite lyric: I wanna reach out for ya, I wanna break these walls, I speak a different language but I still hear you call

4. Midnight Memories:
This is the anthem of the album.  I just turn it up and scream out the lyrics.  This was written with the stadium tour in mind for sure.  It's just all about being young and making memories.  Favorite lyric: I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way Same old shh but a different day

5. You and I:
This song is a love song.  It's all about staying together and not worrying what other's do or say.  No couple is the same.  Favorite lyric: Did they ever hold each other tight Like us did they ever fight, like us

6. Don’t Forget Where You Belong:
This is one of my favorites.  It's about them being on the road all the time but still being themselves.  Fame isn't changing them.  I think it's also an important for the fans to not change who they are.  Favorite lyric: On the horizon Oh I know I know I know I know the moon will be rising back home

7. Strong:
This song is about their relationships.  It's about not being afraid to be in love.  Love can be scary but it's okay to need each other.  Also Zayn sounds amazing on this song.  Favorite lyric: My heart Your heart
Sit tight like book ends Pages between us Written with no end

8. Happily:
This song just makes me feel happy.  It reminds me a lot of Mumford and Sons.  It's also very catchy and is always in my head.  Favorite lyric: It's four A.M. and I know that you're with him I wonder if he knows that I touched your skin

9. Right Now:
I really love this song.  It's about wishing that somebody special was always with you.  Since they travel a lot they miss their girlfriends.  They wish they could experience everything together.  Favorite lyric: I love this feeling that right now I wish you were here with me Cause right now Everything is new to me.

10. Little Black Dress:
I'm not a huge fan of this song.  It's just very repetitive.  It is more mature which I like.  I'm sure it will grow on me eventually.  I think I'd like it live better.  Favorite lyric: I wanna see the way you move for me baby I wanna see the way you move for me

11. Through the Dark:
This song really shows how good they all sound.  I love the message of finding love again when you think it will never happen.  With time you can get through anything.  Favorite lyric: You tell me that you heard it's all in vain But I can see your heart can love again And I remember you laughing So let's just laugh again

12. Something Great:
I really like this song.  It's the perfect ballad because it's slow still upbeat.  It's just a great song.  Also Louis' solo is perfection.  Favorite lyric: You're all I want So much it's hurting

13. Little White Lies:
This is another song I turn up super loud and yell the lyrics.  It is definitely a mature subject and I like it.  I'm sure no girls would ever turn them down.  Favorite lyric: You say you're a good girl But I know you would girl Cause you've been telling me all night With your little white lies, little white lies

14. Better Than Words:
This is one of my most played songs on the album.  It's just such a cute song.  It's about not being able to describe love in words.  Niall's solo is the best though.  Favorite lyric: Best I ever had Hips don't lie You make me wanna.. One more night

15. Why Don’t We Go There:
This song is very fun and catchy.  It reminds me of young love and just letting everything go and enjoying it.  Don't just be serious all the time.  Favorite lyric: I know you want, know you wanna take it slow Think about all the places we could go If you give in tonight

16. Does He Know?:
The beat of  this song reminds me of the 80's song Jessie's Girl.  I really like it though.  It's just really fun and makes you wanna dance.  Favorite lyric: Your secret tattoo, the way you change moods The songs that you sing when you're all alone Your favorite band, and the way that you dance

17. Alive:
This song is very rock and roll.  I love how mature this album is.  This song is about just living life.  Don't worry what others might think.  Favorite lyric: We got to live before we get older Do what we like We got nothing to lose Shake off the weight of the world from your shoulders

18. Half A Heart:
This is by far my favorite song from the album.  It's the perfect song to describe what a break up feels like.  I'm obsessed!  I've had it on repeat all night.  Favorite lyric: And being here without you is like I'm waking up to Only half a blue sky Kinda there but not quite I'm walking around with just one shoe I'm half a heart without you
