New Single | One Direction | Story Of My Life

As they wrap up their 2013 Take Me Home Tour, One Direction are not stopping their chart-topping success as they release their latest single, Story of My Life.

With their third studio album, Midnight Memories, hitting the airwaves in less than a month, their second single is a different vibe to their film’s title track, Best Song Ever.

Story of My Life talks about a man giving all his love to girl who’s finding it hard to stay in their tumultuous relationship. It’s a song that captures the essence of promising to be there regardless of the hard times, yet also finding hard to believe that you can keep that promise.

It’s a great acoustic-based track that grips you from the first note and leaves you breathless as you take in the story it portrays. Each member shines and supports the others; you can really sense that 1D finding their feet and defining themselves in the music industry.

Kudos to the team of songwriters, musicians and mixers for creating a beautiful and emotive track for the next year with 1D!

NEW SINGLE: One Direction - Best Song Ever

BEST SONG EVER

With This Is Us coming to cinemas this year (along with the Take Me Home Tour still in full motion), One Direction have given their fans something extra while they wait for the official 1D3D film. BEST SONG EVER is the latest release from the boys, being aired and released on Vevo on Friday 19^th July with the official song available for purchase on iTunes this Monday 22^nd July. The song is specifically written for the film but it stands on its own as well.

Best Song Ever is about a meeting between a boy and girl and having the best night of their lives dancing to ‘the best song ever’. That’s all good and fun, but like a night out and having too much to drink, the song clearly states that ‘they can’t remember’ the actual song that they were dancing and singing along to. They ‘think it went, “oh-oh-oh”’ or maybe it was, ‘yeah-yeah-yeah’ – either way, it was a great song, they just cant remember it. So clearly the ‘best song ever’ is nothing compared to once-in-a-life-time meeting. How…sweet?

There’s this amazing falsetto at the end of the song and I can’t really make out who it is. My money is either on Harry or Liam – but I guess we’ll have to wait for the official video, which is released on Monday along with the song. I’m looking forward to the video, I personally think One Direction have the best videos since their One Thing. And judging from the previews is still the boys to the tee.
