I can see the Ed Sheeran influence in the song but I still can't get into it. I guess it's nice that they've tried to experiment and create something different but it doesn't do it for me Laatst gewijzigd: 24.02.2013 01:29
Beautiful ballad! I believe this song would not be out of place on +, if Ed Sheeran decided to record it... but he gave it to One Direction; and they pulled it off very well; shock horror I actually enjoy a One Direction song but I am a fan of Ed Sheeran so that helps.
A big departure from their heavily produced singles, it's actually decent and a step in the direction that boy bands don't usually take, stripped back acoustic singles.
Edit: Listened to this a number of times and realized how much of a breath of fresh air this is and shock; I am enjoying a One Direction song. But it helps that I am a fan of Ed Sheeran's music also. I have a small beef about them writing about body image; they didn't really need to sing a song about body image when their market of young girls would be struggling with body image. 3* --> 5*.

Awful. They've managed to create one of the most negative songs about body image ever and the lyrics are just immature and creepy in general. And Louis' voice is so bad.
Rustige ballad van One Direction en opvolger van hun hit "Live While We're Young". Ook terug te vinden op hun album "Take Me Home" (2012). Misschien geen echte hoogvlieger, maar klinkt voor mij best OK.
sehr schlecht, eigl. bin ich kein fan von One Direction (Wobei Live While We're Young ihr einziges gutes lied ist), hier geht es noch mehr bergab als sonst...
Wo kommt dieser Hype auf einmal her? Boygroups sind jetzt wieder in ... nix mehr anarcho (TH vor fast 10 Jahren), wieder alle schön brav mit Scheitel und so, 90s-Reloaded. Strange Teenie-Generationen-Entwicklung.
Can be a bit boring and does have incredibly cringeworthy lyrics, but despite that, I am liking this a lot more than "Live While We're Young". Great stripped back song, and a lot better than all the other boyband songs out there at the moment.
Can't say this is bad apart from some of the lyrics just dull and boring and feels like it just ends making it feel like a non event. 5th UK top 10. 24 weeks in the UK top 100. 85,308 sold while at #1. Their second UK#1. UK#1 and Ireland#2. US#33. 311,700 copies sold in the UK. Laatst gewijzigd: 29.04.2013 18:13
▒ Van deze trage, saaie, ballads zijn er al duizenden !!! Dus daar kan deze plaat van de Engelse Boyband "One Direction", uit oktober 2012, ook nog wel bij !!! Alléén een hoogvlieger bij de verliefde dames tieners ☺!!!
Op zich géén verkeerde single van "One Direction", uit half november 2012. Maar ik mis toch wel de vrolijkheid zoals op plaatjes "Live While Were You".. Voor de liefhebber terug te vinden op het album "Take Me Home"!! Exact 3 sterren!! ☺
Okay ballad, but some of the lyrics in the first verse are strange, and hearing the guys singing the lyrics "let these little things slip out of my mouth" sounds awkward. 2.75*.
Is it fair to say that if this were song by any other group, it probably wouldn't sell as well?
EDIT: Okay, I find this song incredibly boring now. 2.75* -> 2*. Laatst gewijzigd: 11.12.2012 01:49
Angenehme Ballade, die tatsächlich komplett anders klingt als ihre doch ziemlich überproduzierten Popsongs zuvor. Keine Begeisterung, aber zumindest ein gewisses Interesse meinerseits.
finds mutig, diesen song als 2. single auszuwählen. aber es zeigt, dass sie wirklich singen können. schöne ballade, natürlich von ed sheeran geschrieben.
A very beautiful ballad! It's excellent to hear something acoustic from them for once and away from the heavy productions. It's a little disappointing it probably won't be as commercially successful as their other songs. The Ed Sheeran influence is very evident. Unfortunately it gets a little boring in over time due to the lack of a climax. One of the better songs off Take Me Home along with Live While We're Young. Laatst gewijzigd: 23.02.2013 13:43
