One Direction “Night Changes”

I may or may not have developed an ungodly obsession with One Direction over the weekend, specifically this song, Night Changes… and well, nearly their entire new album, FOUR.

Though I’d say the true origin of my interest really began at the 2014 AMA’s or possibly one week prior…

My desktop computer has been out of commission since May. It’s been sitting in my closet taking up valuable handbag real estate while I used my older iMac and Macbook air to work. This new tech kink had me working from the living room more than from my office, and in those afternoons, I may or may not have had E! on in the background hoping for Sex and the City reruns to serve as my soundtrack.

In between SATC episodes, I may have caught a few E! News specials, and on one particular afternoon they interviewed One Direction {in Florida I believe}, which I was admittedly barely listening to, where Harry was asked about his hair and when he referenced the Friends episode where

Monica’s hair is inexplicable while playing ping pong with Paul Rudd – and I couldn’t help but look up. First, because anyone who references Friends is obviously awesome, and second because I’m pretty sure Harry was a wee baby when these episodes were fresh on the tube, rather than graduating high school as I was.

A week later, One Direction performed this song,

Night Changes on the AMA’s and I was like okay, I get it Directioners, you’re right, they’re totally swoon worthy. When I finally got my desktop computer back from the Mac store last week and was able to listen to my iTunes radio again, YAY, the song randomly played and it made me stop what I was doing to listen…

Needless to say, I purchased the album and have been obsessed all weekend. This song is still my favorite, but they’re all damn good and you know why this 38 year old loves them? They all sound like a song I’ve already heard from the the last four decades OR have similar sounds, melodies, beats, etc. but somehow new and different and fun, which obviously I adore, because duh.

In passing, the husband asked me how many times I’d fallen for “boy bands” not including the Beatles {since they were technically before my time – but obviously amazing} and though I brought up The Jackson 5, the real answer is FOUR: New Edition, New Kids on the Block, *NSYNC, and now One Direction. And suddenly I feel like a giddy thirteen year old girl again… {and really old at the same time}.

Happy Tuesday Lovecats~!
