Melodic Mondays: Right Now by One Direction

As you may or may not know, One Direction is now a foursome. Also, as you may or may not know, I am an unashamed Directioner. Because of all this, we are going to listen to one of my favorite 1D songs today.

You’re welcome.

I tried really hard to tie this in with writing (be proud; in the midst of my grief, I’m trying to be a good blogger), and I realized this: the chorus of “Right Now” is exactly what one of my protagonists, Leiah, would say to her friend Jesse. In fact, the line “Right now, I wish you here with me,” is basically her goal. The entire book is her quest to not just wish it, but actually bring him back to her.

Which is not half as cheesy and romantic as it sounds because they’re not dating and she’s trying to break him out of prison. He’s a good guy, though, really. It’s a long story.

Anyway. Here’s the song, listen to it, love it, mourn with me in the comments.

Of course if you’ve never liked One Direction and, like my brother, wish the whole band would be overcome with grief and stop making music forever, you can still comment and we can have a spirited debate about music. Be forewarned, I will use caps and perhaps throw music videos at you.

If you don’t want to debate, we can talk about writing and cute charries instead. See, 1D opens up all kinds of opportunities! 

All right, I’mma stop now. Recap: Listen to the song, leave me a comment, all I ask.
