The Best Song Ever!!!
(well, certainly the best song ever by One Direction, and the best song of 2013).
The fun (I think) parody of the music biz sets the stage for the music, which starts at about 2:00. Some people knocked this song because the opening was patterned after The Who's Baba O'Riley. I think it's a great tribute, and they made a song equally good based on it. The last 2 minutes are truly spectacular. I mean, if you like good sounds and great melodies and counterpoint, dancing, etc.! The atmosphere of this song is like early Beatles, and One Direction led the so-called new British invasion in the 2010s. The video's premiere on July 22, 2013 got the most views of any previous video in its first 24 hours. That record was soon superceded by Miley Cyrus, but it was a cool, exact correlation with the great grand trine of July 20, 2013; a truly communal experience among 1D fans. I got to know it a few weeks later. I'm always late to the party! The last few seconds are truly wistful and romantic. Such a great song!
