So watching this music video made me very very happy; this was the first one out of all the music videos they've had that isn't upbeat or with girls in the video.
I noticed that they were singing to them. So you'd think that, "Oh, they think beautiful girls are THAT. THAT'S what they define as beautiful. THOSE girls have what it takes to be beautiful."
...Or at least that's how I felt. That it seemed like, because it was a love song, they had to have a girl to serenade so girls would be like, "I wish that was me!"
But in 'Little Things', I can officially say it's my favorite music video they've done so far. And honestly, will always be up there as time goes on because it really will be a hard video to beat.
It was, like I said in a previous blog post, that it was very simple, toned-down, etc.
Alot of fans really did not like that. They thought all the guys looked obviously really hot in it, but I saw that many expected a storyline.
:)
Not me! I was 100% happy with the way this turned out.
I did NOT want a storyline. Out of every idea, anything BUT a storyline to the music video. Why?
Who wants to see a GORGEOUS girl's face every time they hear this song, knowing that those 'imperfections' really don't exist, according to the actress? It would go against everything they've been implying in the song.
So I'm really glad it was a studio version. The way I looked at it, it was as if the boys came and wrote this song together for some girl that one of them really liked. And then they sang it with the feeling, as if they know how the guy felt.
Bottomline, because it was so simple, it was as if they were singing to me. It's really mushy and "Oh my gosh really" kinda perspective, but watch it again.
What are they looking at? Some girl with the perfect body? Running around in the ocean or camping out? Nope. They're looking at you. Because the song IS to you. Maybe not directly from the boys to you personally, but I think they're representing how all guys (with the right morals and maturity) look at girls.
They want us to know that they do see our imperfections... but not as that. They see them as a part of us they love :) So by looking at the camera, it's definitely more sincere and believable that guys truly believe that.
I'm really proud of the vocals of the boys in this, you can tell they have the passion in it that really shows through. I also wanna thank Ed Sheeran for writing such a beautiful song that could've literally saved a girl out there. <3
