Music Notes

Daylight, by Harry Styles

This is a quick post about the Harry Styles song Daylight, for "Note: 48-HOUR CHALLENGE : Media Prompt Deadl...". I’m spread thin this month with creative writing projects, and since I finally opened a blog and it’s all about music anyway, I might as well write a paragraph about the song rather than trying to come up with something creative.

I always look at the lyrics of a song before I listen to it, always. Unless it’s either a Christian song or a Coldplay song, and even then I prefer to know what I’m getting into; lyrics precede anything else. As for these… they didn’t pass my fussbudget tastes. The artist, a former member of the early oughts boy band One Direction, is someone who I consider to be a very untalented songwriter. He makes reference to an addictive and illegal drug in this song, and the described relationship is altogether bleh.

If we’re going to talk about members of 1D, I do sort of like Niall Horan. He seems to be the most decent one of the bunch, with a heartfelt innocence to his lyrics that appeals to me in a comfortable sort of way. I wouldn’t bother looking into him, but if I had to name a good guy from 1D I’d know who.
