One Direction Songs What Makes You Beautiful Download
Mozell Gentges
This song is pretty much telling young girls that being insecure and having a low self esteem is attractive. "You don't know you're beautiful, that's what makes you beautiful" I think the message is kind of sad. Real beauty comes from the inside and having confidence and self esteem is really important.
Actually no, insanelove you're wrong and you're probably just denying the true meaning of this song because you "LUV 1D SOOOO MUCH"
they're just saying what gottalovethemusic pointed out. Because you see, insanelove, what you don't realize is there's a difference between self-esteem and being cocky. This song does not address this, it only says "she doesn't know she's beautiful and that's what makes her beautiful"
Beauty is not just on the outside. While yes, she may be pretty on the outside, the fact that she's nice and modest on the inside is what makes her really stand out. That's also the reason why he's probably so attracted to her.
Most people who think they're beautiful or pretty are pretty obnoxious and cocky about it. You know those girls who act better than everyone but are cruel and heartless on the inside. They may have great bodies and model faces, but no one wants to be with a bitch.
Okay hold up. So if she is beautiful cause she doesnt know she is, what if through this shitty song she realizes how beautiful she is, is she not beautiful anymore? is she now an ugly piece of crap because she thinks shes beautiful? Y U NO MAKE SENSE!?!?!??!
Well, if she thinks she's beautiful and acts up herself she will still actually be just as physically beautiful. But it will be a turn off and will decrease attraction for the guy. Also, the song rules.
I totally agree with you! It doesn't make any sense to me either. Obviously the girl has no self esteem and it seems like they want her to feel good about herself. So, the line "You don't know you're beautiful, that what makes you beautiful" doesn't make any sense.
Look i know there will be some teenage girls giving me death threats for saying this but do people honestly listen to this garbage? i mean the website is called song meanings but you cant give an interpretation for this song because there is no meaning. Its just teens swinging their arms on a beach. Im guessing they called it one direction because its directed to one group of people. pre- pubescent girls.BURN!so to sum it up not a good band, not a good song
This song is talking about how he thinks she is beautiful. and her not believing that she is beautiful, turns him on. because I know some people that know they are beautiful and they are EXTREMELY cocky.
"what make you beautiful" with happy melody makes me feel fresh and love this life. The lyrics is really simple and easy to understand but men who understand and sing it must have very deep souls to see what inside of a girl rather than outside. The strangest thing to mention about this song is that although the song has a happy melody, feel people may want to cry because of its sweetness. " You may be no one in this world but you can be the world to some one". You can be very important and incredible, you never know. So, love yourself and love the person that can see the beauty of you even you don't know.
This is an analogy of abusive relationships from an outsiders perspective. it shows the pain that can be inflicted both physically and mentally, it also more accurately shows the damage it has on self confidence. the fact that the girl doesn't know she's beautiful' shows innocence which is being lost in the process of accidental sexualisation and her use of make-up to cover up the bruises which she now feels naked without. In my opinion it is not a song of romance it is a song of sympathy, he is saying about how she is beautiful the way she is and doesn't need to change to gain the love of an abusive partner which she will never get, which is why this song is giving advice to the younger audience such as there will always be someone who finds you beautiful the way you are. however there will be those who seek to control you through psychological or physical means.
To be honest, I'm a One Direction fan. A /huge/ fan at that but I first listened to this when I was only.. 12? Yeah. My opinion on what this song conveys is that it's actually kinda sad, really. The fact that when a girl doesn't know she's beautiful makes her beautiful is really sad because it's like saying that boys would rather have a girl with a low self-esteem and a girl who trips on her low confidence than have a girl who's pretty much confident of her entire self. It's funny how almost 3 years can make a difference on a person knowing the /real/ message of a song.
In the age of the playlist, do albums mean anything to music fans? Here at the end of 2023, our colleagues at NPR Music argue that there are at least 50 reasons that the answer to that question is yes. And we're joined today by that team's pop critic and correspondent, Ann Powers, who's here to talk about what makes for a great album in 2023. Hi, Ann.
POWERS: Well, yes, Leila, on the surface or at the top, we have albums that either came out in 2022, like SZA's "SOS," for example, or Taylor Swift's remake of her album "1989," which to my mind sort of does and doesn't count as a 2023 album. Those are the mainstream hits. But all throughout the music landscape, there are these artists who fit in a category that the critic Robert Christgau once called semi-popular. Or I like the phrase famous to a few. In other words, they're very popular among certain communities, niches, making certain styles of music. And as they push the edges of their particular subcultures or scenes, they make these incredible albums.
POWERS: Well, I want to start with an artist who's connected to what I think is the most inventive genre right now, that's R&B music. Her name is Amaarae. She grew up between the hip-hop capital of Atlanta, Ga., and Accra, Ghana. And she mixes in Afrobeats and some K-pop influences to her musical blend. She has this really captivating, unique voice. And she really takes chances on this album, which is called "Fountain Baby." Let's hear a little of her song "Co-Star."
POWERS: The songs on this record almost seem like fragments to some people, maybe. But each song takes Amaarae in a slightly different direction, and they add up to this really complicated sound world. It's a very rich album experience. She even has a punk rock track on here.
POWERS: (Laughter) Yeah. Well, if Amaarae represents the cutting edge of R&B, the Irish band Lankum stands proud as the titans of a new traditional Irish music scene. This is an incredibly vibrant - with so many great artists. But Lankum, a band that's on its fourth album, is, you know, just at the height of its powers. And this is always such an exciting moment for an artist. This album, "False Lankum," blends some originals and many traditional songs performed in their way, which is a mix of kind of, like, almost metal-ish influences. I hear the Velvet Underground in what they do. It's very drone-y, but it also connects with the ancient folk traditions.
POWERS: So here we have Lankum, you know, playing a beautiful trad ballad, like, "Lord Abore And Mary Flynn," in a way that brings out all of its beauty and also its spookiness, you know? I mean, they're breaking the box around traditional music, and that's super exciting.
POWERS: Yes, this is Joy Oladokun's great album "Proof Of Life," out of Nashville, Tenn. Joy is an artist whose music shows exactly how a niche or a scene is evolving. This album has guest spots from people like Chris Stapleton, you know, the king of cool country music. Or the rising folk rocker Noah Kahan is also on this album. And Joy is often classified as Americana, But, you know, listen to her voice and listen to how she puts so many elements together in these airtight, completely, you know, perfectly constructed songs.
JOY OLADOKUN: (Singing) Can anybody say a prayer? Can anybody light a candle for somebody like me? Ooh. It's the least that God could do for giving more than He could handle to somebody like me, ooh, somebody like me.
FADEL: I love that you're taking us into these genres. I mean, there's music that I wouldn't have otherwise known to even listen to. But of course, there are the top of the charts. Is there anything on this best of 2023 list that's just pure pop?
POWERS: Yes, there is. But even the big pop albums this year connect to subcultures or, you know, communities that are very identifiable. Let's talk about Olivia Rodrigo, maybe the biggest new pop star of the decade. And she sounds like a particular kind of rocker. Her album "GUTS" connects very strongly with pop punk or emo music, and this record claims that space, which very often belonged to young dudes, young guys for her, a young woman who is speaking back to sexism and to just, you know, being treated like trash by trashy boys.
OLIVIA RODRIGO: (Singing) I wanna get him back. I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad. Oh, I wanna get him back, 'cause then again, I really miss him and it makes me real sad. Oh, I want sweet revenge, and I want him again.
POWERS: You know, like so many young pop stars, Olivia started out as a Disney star. But she's different than somebody like Miley Cyrus, who had to fight to show her rock side. And she's found huge success by reclaiming or, you know, just claiming this style for herself. And I absolutely love it. I love the fact that young women are ruling rock right now, and Olivia is right at the top.
