Alive

Do you have that song that when it plays, you can't help but feel cool? That one song that makes you feel invincible?

I do.



It was a recent discovery but a while back (read: a couple days ago), Alive by One Direction happened to play on my iPhone. Now, it was getting dark and I was walking to my friend's dorm so I was already nervous out of my mind. I do not do well by myself on the street so I was just ready to start running. But once this song came on, I felt oddly relaxed and empowered. I honestly have no idea how those to feelings came into play when brought up with this song but it's true.

This song makes me want to put on a leather jacket, red stilettos, red lipstick and walk down Sunset Boulevard like the badass I know I can be.

Alive is the 17th track off of One Direction's third album, Midnight Memories, and can I just say it is an excellent track indeed. This post isn't meant to be a review of the song, it's just to emphasize my strong adoration to it. I literally want the boys to make a music video to this song with a house party as the backdrop. Wouldn't that be fucking phenomenal? Since their new album has a more mature sound, One Direction should have a more mature theme for their videos, wouldn't you agree?

Oh, I could only imagine.

But I digress again.

This post is meant to convey my feelings about this one song and I seem to be failing at writing about that.Alive makes me want to star in my own music video. When I was walking by myself, as the sun was setting and random strangers stared at me as I walked, this song came and I instantly felt better. For some strange reason, this song is a huge confidence booster and now, I can't help but play this song in my head every time I walk.
