the classics and the icons

The act in question :

It’s the first line of a song that Louis covered on his last tour.

7 by Catfish and The Bottlemen

I’ve seen people say it’s a reference to smoking weed. But I think the song means more than that to Louis. And, obviously, the name “Larry” isn’t just any name.

I’ve been thinking about it since @hoovesandfloorpaws mentioned the lyric in connection to Harry’s album cover art where the 28 is clearly visible in the smoke above his head.

The idea of smoke and mirrors seems like it might be a theme for KATTDO.

With Aperture being the first single, and an aperture being the part of a camera that lets light in, plus the cover art being a camera, I think we should be paying attention to the fact that there’s a light shining onto the disco ball (which is made up of hundreds of tiny mirrors) and we can see that 28 very clearly.

Besides Harry, who’s also lit up (and looks like he’s either putting on his sunglasses or about to take them off), the rest of the background is barely visible.

just a few favorite Louis and Harry moments from 2010

Watching these kids, ages sixteen and eighteen, I’m watching some serious friend-love in action, and those are among my favorite moments. Look at their total personal ease with one another here, Harry’s leg tucked under Louis’s arm—

followed by the ridiculous humor of teenaged boys. Harry so often in 2010 looks like “my mate’s brand of wit and daring anarchy is THE FUNNIEST EVER”

There are also many moments of palpable thirst, as in this gif, which is entitled “Harry likes Louis”

And the time Harry called Louis while he was doing a twitcam. I presume Harry was logged on and watching while he flustered him with just his voice

I also see some seriously-considered moments
