Yay! This week I want to do another song! Haha. So, I want to do the song Little Things by One Direction. This song by the British/Irish boyband was released November 2012 as their second single in their latest album, Take Me Home. Ed Sheeran, a british songwriter/artist co-wrote this song with Fiona Bevan when he was 17! He apparently lost it, found it recently, and gave it to the boys. This track became One Direction's second #1 hit single in the UK, while it was top ten in Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia. Little Things is a very slow song. Ed Sheeran said that this song "is about the best things about someone, kind of like the things you wouldn't expect." You would expect this song to be a love song because 17 year old Ed wrote a lot about love, and when he was 17, he had a girlfriend who inspired most of his songs. In my opinion I love Little Things mainly because of its meaning. It makes many girls feel better about themselves when the boys sing "I'm in love with you, and all your little things." It also shows many flaws that a lot of young girls have. It is just a really great song with a great tune, written by an amazingly great person ;)

Hello! This week I chose the song I Almost Do by Taylor Swift. This song is a part of her latest album, RED. It was written by herself and produced by Nathan Chapman, her long time collaborator. The genre of this song is country. Also, it is the 7th song in her album and the length is 4:05. This song has received many positive reviews from music critics and has peeked at numbers 65 and 50 in charts in the US and Canada.
I Almost Do has a pretty deep meaning. The lyrics talk about a girl missing her old lover and expressing her feelings of missing him. I think that the girl and the boy probably had a pretty bad break up because the lyrics say, 'I bet you think I either moved on or hate you cause' each time you reach out there's no reply. I bet it never, ever occurred to you that I can't say hello to you, and risk another goodbye' Also she talks about how she wishes she could call him or run to him. But, she never does. I Almost Do basically means that she really misses this old lover and really wants to speak to him again, but she doesn't; she almost does. I really like this song personally because of the really deep meaning and the music is slow and catchy. LISTEN TO IT BELOW:

Demetria Devonne 'Demi' Lovato was born August 21st, 1992. She is an american singer/songwriter, musician, actress, and also an anti-bullying spokesperson. She was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico but was raised in Dallas, Texas. She has an older sister named Dallas Lovato and a younger half sister, Madison de la Garza, from her mom's remarriage. Demi starred in Barney and Friends when she was little before starring in a big movie, Camp Rock in 2008. In 2009, she got her own television show, Sonny With A Chance and also starred in another movie with her close friend Selena Gomez, Princess Protection Program. Demi was not just an actress, but also a musician. Don't Forget, Lovato's first album, was released September 23rd, 2008 and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. It sold 89,000 copies the first week! Her second album, Here We Go Again, was released July 21st, 2009. This album was debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold over 108,000 copies the first week! Her third album released on September 20th, 2011 and this one debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. This album is called Unbroken. Apparently she is working on her fourth studio album at the moment.
In 2012 she was a judge on the second season of the X-Factor USA. I personally like Demi Lovato because she inspires many girls to be themselves and to be independent. She was bullied a lot through her school years and has had a lot of problems because of that but she stays strong. That really inspires many young girls. In my opinion she is a very talented and amazing girl! Here is a video of her in Ellen speaking about bullying!
