    55:19 "I'm hurting but I have hope"
    Well your feeling is spot on because Louis said this in a recent interview:
    “The overall feel on the album, even though it touches on stuff that’s more emotional - maybe even sad at times - by the end of the song there will be a lyric or there will be a melody, something that happens in production, that leaves you with a hopeful feeling. That was my intention. To create a hopeful record, that has depth emotionally, but as a collective feels hopeful.”

    • @alexray_
      @alexray_  ปีที่แล้ว +47

      Okay the fact that he said “maybe even sad at times” LEWIS CHICAGO IS HEARTWRENCHING”
      But jokes aside he did a fantastic job of conveying that. I said that not knowing about that interview, so (even more) props to him

    @ACHS300 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    I feel like that Walls was the transitional piece between 1D and himself as a solo artist but Faith In The Future is truly him as a musician. Faith in the future seems like a letter to the fans from Louis himself. Back in 1D people kept saying he wasn’t a great singer so he started writing more. You can see how much work he has put into his voice since then.

    I love this album. You can hear the difference that he wrote this with other artists as opposed professional song writers. He made the video for out of my system in a semi deserted house in Peckham south london about ten minutes up the road from me.

On one hand you'll think it's a romantic angle, on the other I thought, it also shows his relation with his fans and how his shows got cancelled bcoz of covid, nd in the third, I think it also explores his career graphs and the changes he had to make on the way..

    Louis could write a soundtrack for a movie. I feel like I get so many images in my head with the feel and the lyrics of each song. Oh, and I kept saying Silver Tongues sounds very Andrew McMahon as well! SIBWAWC sounds like Lady Gaga in a way. I hear so many influences in this whole album and I'm here for it! (Killers, Oasis, The Cure, FOB, OK GO, Panic, Blink, etc) It's a blend of my entire collection of music and I can get it all in one album by Louis.

    Hi! I’m rewatching this reaction!! I love it more than the first time I watched, because I know what you’re going to say, but I’m still excited!
    I saw Louis, at the beginning of his tour, in Detroit, a smaller venue and I knew it’s not going to be a great performance! I followed all his other shows and with every show he got better and better! So, I’m not going to lie, I’m a little disappointed that I haven’t seen him at his best!
    He released his one version of “Back to you” because it sounded so great live, it was a public favorite! So you were right!! (1:15)
    You’re great at seeing behind the music and understanding the lyrics, the vision and predict the future! 😍

    That's the Way Love Goes as a concept, I think is influenced by The Streets - Dry Your Eyes, which is also a song talking to your friend about picking themselves up after a break up (interestingly, that one goes back and forth between the guy during the break up and his friends advice). Also Louis worked on this song with someone who has worked with The Streets at one point. I'm not sure they were a big band outside the UK, but that song was a huge one as a teenager here, and Louis is a similar age as me, so it was interesting to see him do a song with a similar theme to that iconic one

    I like you speak about lots of technical details but also about how you feel about lyrics and the different meanings they can have and connecting them with old songs of Louis, it's like a 360° vision of his work.
    His lyrics gets me hard, even the simple ones; he makes me suffer thru vivid memories I never experienced but that felt as mine.

After going to my own show & seeing so many of the concerts live-streamed, it’s been even more difficult to pick a top 5 for this album. The HOTH bridge live hits sm harder. WAOYF, The Greatest, & Common People have never wavered, but there just isn’t enough room at the top. His LIVE album was such an amazing collaboration with his fans. I wonder if you have any new thoughts after your own experiences. Tysm for such a great reaction & supporting our Louis! 💙🩵💙

    I love the fact that you enjoy and appreciate the guitar moments in most of the songs, all the instruments along with the lyrics ❤
    Lovely reaction, new sub.
    Also, i highly recommend you to watch the AWAY FROM HOME FESTIVAL that Louis stream last year, to hear how he make a electronic song as Just Hold On (the one with Steve Aoki) to a rocky punk sound, more his actual taste. Most of the songs in Walls doesnt hear as actually for astonishing live moments but they do, live are absolutely so vibing.
    You can start with Fearless live (you will preach the guitar solo and all the band sound).
    If he was single absolutely i will snogged to Michael Blackwell, Louis' band guitarrist 😁 😁 😁

      Well here is the full festival, its amazing the music, the documentary so essential to understand the journey and mustly now that FAITH IN THE FUTURE is already out make more sense, this festival was before he goes for the first time this year on tour for Walls, its just a taste of how a Louis Tomlinson concert is 🔥 ♥

    hey loved your reaction!! I LOVE when people focus on the lyrics and analyze it and also appreciate the production. And tbh Louis' music deserves nothing less. His lyrics are so- idek how to explain it but i love taylor and Louis because of their lyrics mostly.
    And also btw i think you should also check out Niall's music. Both the albums. Idk i just have a feeling you'll like it. Because again- LYRICS. And vocals also. Niall and Louis have like my comfort voices. Their music just feels like a warm hug

    The fact that you talked about him touring the songs is so important. That was also a huge part of how they wrote so many of 1D's songs from like Midnight Memories onwards because they were touring in stadiums at that point. (Except for Made in the AM, which I am TRULY devastated never got a tour.) Your reactions to Chicago and Written All Over Your Face are so relatable. I cannot BELIEVE this man's growth as a songwriter. I feel so lucky to have been a 1D stan in 2012 and really see his progression through the years because hooooooly crap.

    then at the last part, again, with your number, my jumper.
    if this man ever decided he didn't want to sing anymore (i hope he never), people would still waiting for more music from him. he is such a great lyricist, and his songwriting should only gets better in time.

    Lovely reaction! Not many people pay attention to the lyrics. The album is good. All this time, Lucky again, Greatest, Face the music and Written all over your face are so enjoyable in fact fans are trying to play some songs on the radio on Latam, hopefully more fans will do it on English speaking countries. I saw that BBC1 has a 10 minute segment, so they HAD to play Sliver Tongues that was not even in the system 🤣 we must insist, we are Louis promo team, or the album will be unknown he needs to reach a bit more people on 2023...
