LOLLLL! I know. Crazy, innit? I’m sure they practiced more than just one song before going on stage.

Hi, love! x Thank you ♡

Pretty sure A @lesbian-vodka is making a masterpost for it (and I'll be adding the complete list to my masterdoc as well), but basically, Louis keeps changing the first verse of the song. It was initially seen as something Louis would typically do—meaning, forgetting the lyrics sometimes—but surprise, surprise, it's a deliberate choice lol Plus, A confirmed he was looking at the lyrics at Lolla, same as he did in Electric Brixton. This has been talked about several times before (esp when he started doing it in 2024?) but the recent lives solidified it even more. Note that he did sing it correctly before though (see ones from FITF 2023)!

Original 1st and 2nd Verse:

Counted all my mistakes and there's only one Standin' out from the list of the things I've done All the rest of my crimes don't come close To the look on your face when I let you go [...] Yeah, the taste of your lips on the tip of my tongue Is at the top of the list of the things I want Mind is runnin' in circles of you and me Anyone in-between is the enemy

Indicates a split / break up

Louis' Version of the 1st and 2nd Verse:

Counted all my mistakes and there's only one Standin' out from the list of the things I've done Mind is runnin' in circles of you and me Anyone in-between is the enemy [...] Yeah, the taste of your lips on the tip of my tongue Is at the top of the list of the things I want Mind is runnin' in circles of you and me Anyone in-between is the enemy

Eradicates that idea of letting go

Adding a bunch for now lol

He has the lyrics taped on stage. My theory is that sometimes it sounds like he's mixing up the lyrics, especially early on when he first started doing it, because the correct ones are printed out. He kinda scans the paper as he sings so he could pull from the 2nd verse.

Still can't believe I Watched Louis live only about 5 rows behind barricade - and unfortunately the 3 videos I remembered to take suck - But I just wanted to come here and say that this setlist is fucking genius

Because you start with The Greatest when you're shaking and crying, move on to Kill My Mind to solidify that what this man does to your body is not logical, then Drag Me Down to reflect on how his music willed you to stay standing through so much shit.

Now your energy might be waning and your voice getting hoarse so Face the Music comes up to remind you to be everything, feel everything in the next hour. We made it to reflect on the years and hours that led to this moment. By now every single lyric has an image attached to it and you're finally take stock - realize you've been shaking and crying, try to ground your feet in the present moment. Night Changes, that doesn't work. You're wearing red today ofc and you think about the first time you watched a One Direction Video and noticed his voice and smile - now he's here!? in the city you grew up in and you're bawling again in time for Walls which is kinda perfect.

You regulate to try to understand what he's saying and when he comes back with Written all over your face it's party time! You're hot and sweaty --you think this is what an orgy must smell like-- and you get to yell out 'Hey, Babe!' to him. An upbeat version of Back to You follows in which you're able to do the little act outs you always do while singing. Now the individual annoyances in the crowd have dissolved and you're dance and love and sweat and sex. Feeling conflicted? It's time for Out of My System

His performance of Saturdays shuts out the crowd and brings his beautiful voice back into focus. Uff the melodies, the imagery, AND ALL THE FEELS.

A shorter chat. I can barely focus. Where do Broken Hearts Go? Here in this pit clearly and Silver Tongues is the perfect closer, getting the crowd to scream 'I don't feel like Going Home' at the end of a set before you jump into the crowd moving as one, hands all over your face chest neck waist is so diabolical/hot. I can't.
