#yeah i kinda dropped otb

[rabctrl]

currently waiting for "soleil" and "you dont get to tell me about sad" to update and having a lot of thoughts after ugly crying for days

[persephoneflouwers]

Milano understood the assignment

I’m home. I mean I was home home with Louis there too, now I’m in my bed more like.

Sunburnt, throat ache, feet hurting, heart so full.

I want to write this because I want to share with you how insane live music is. I missed ever little thing of live shows. All those people sharing the same vibes, singing together. It’s such a good experience.

We went there till 11 in the morning. Look, I don’t want to be the one complaining because it was so good to be back and see a show in a venue so big. Really really great. But I am Italian and if I must say this was just pizza, pasta e confusion lmao. We knew for several weeks or moths idk that we would have had troubles with the reassignments of the tickets. We went there to queue to the ticket office and got parterre. I wasn’t sure of this for two reasons 1. Covid lol 2. People were camping for days/hours already. So we couldn’t get a nice spot. But alas, we were in the middle of it and yeah, it wasn’t that bad! I’m just very short, not my fault nor theirs I guess hahah

Anyway, so much colours and rainbows. Soooo many larries. I love that the husbands are so intertwined when you talk about Louis, you end up talking about harry and viceversa. I felt brave a couple of times and made joke like “omg there’s a bee… I’m buzzing, not in this way”. So many young people honestly! I was the oldest among them. They were like in high school and we were there being very closer to 30! I felt like a big sis and kept them close to me. For a few of them this was a first time. Also, thank god I brought sugar with me, bc we saw a couple of girls very close to pass out. But let me act like your friendly spiderman doctor of neighbourhood a bit.

ONLY THE POETS WERE SO FUCKING GOOD LIVE. The singer got the move. He did the hair flip a couple of time and he was so good on stage. His voice sounds so great. I never listened to them before, my bad, but they were so good really. The crowd was on fire too. We supported them and it was fun! Also the blonde was wearing Louis merch and he was so cute haha they just seem to love Louis so much and be very thankful.

I started realising all this was real when the smiley sipario was there. I cried I little when it dropped. I don’t know, I felt like overwhelmed.

I swear, if I had placed a bet on what shirt he was going to wear I would have won. I knew he was going for England. I knew it! It was also a topic of conversation when queuing for literal hours. Obviously, we took the piss of him for the Euro and he went on stage with THAT England shirt. We all laughed, it was such a good moment when we saw him. We provoked him and he teased us as usual. I love him so much for this.

I don’t know what to write because at this point we all know how good he is and how well he sounds on stage. The crowd was very loud. At one point I believed he would have left us sing a song only us haha the princess park line was obviously a trascendentale experience.

Copy of a copy was unmatched. I held my pride flag up for all the song. It was my favourite moment of the show.

OTB was perfect. The rainbow was perfect.

Too young was loud af. Defenceless, Always You too!

Fearless… my god, the band solo live is impressive. They are such good musicians!

His voice in Beautiful war is so angelic. At some point I wanted him to never stop singing. He also was so fucking hot, I can’t. Louis, you have me in a chokehold.

Through the dark was probably the most fun to listen to live. I love the song and it was such a serotonine boost! In fact I was there kinda hyperventilating before KMM. I felt like I was going to fall on the floor energy-less with no voice haha

I loved the band played Po-Po-Po after kill my mind haha they left us in a very good mood. We sang it a couple of times, as well as Sei bellissimo. It felt like they were taking our side in this little football fight with louis! It’s not about winners or losers… clearly. Clearly. He is so petty, I love him.

I wish I could share good videos and pics, but I’m… old fashioned and my phone kinda sucks lmao

I cant wait to see him again. Already counting down the days. I love you, Louis <3

Now, I know this definitely didn’t happen but I don’t care I’m sorry I am gonna pretend this was my y/n moment: he was right in the middle of the stage, in front of me. I was not very close, but I held my sign every time he was in that proximity and at some point he said “that’s funny” or something lmao and Imma pretend this is for my sign. Nothing harmful, just me and my imagination.

LT2 masterpost

If it was up to me, we would get an autumn or winter EP. Since it’s not up to me at all, here, enjoy this post with everything we know so far of LT2, which is to say, not much at all. Everything here is hypothetical. I’ll be updating every time I see something relevant. A little disclaimer that while this is a masterpost (kinda), it could be read as discourse (duh, it’s also a theory), AND it’s also by me, and you shouldn’t expect me to be serious at this point.

Due to me restraining myself, there’s no reference to any of the times he’s mentioned his guitar skills and him improving but I hope you know I cried every single time.

I’m also linking my old pinned here. It was written before AFHF and around the free merch thing that didn’t lead to much, but I still think I made some good points.

Possible tracks:

Copy of a Copy of a Copy

Change

Faith in the future??

369??

Possible names:

369

Faith in the future

When is the album coming out?

Your guess is as good as mine

Friday 28th of January 2022. Almost two years after Walls. It’s a Friday. It’s a 28th. What else can I say?

Here you can find @want-to-be-loved timelines for every month.

Here you can find @berlinini’s timeline of what Louis has been up to this year (2021).

The rest is under the cut. And here you can find a PDF version where Tumblr can't tell me how many pictures I can add.

2020

He said back on May 2th 2020 he wasn’t writing anything new yet.

(x)(x)(x)

Interestingly enough, he’s said many times after that that the album’s not ready cause he has no new experiences to drawn from. I won’t call him out because he does it himself.

May 4th. He liked a tweet from DMA’s Johnny Took saying they had to go write together again. Louis has been credited as an influence for them and (kind of) participated in their previous record, so I’m assuming he meant for their music and not his, but you never know.

Nothing(literally nothing??? how did we survive) until 11th of July. We all know what happened that day. We all celebrated it. Nonetheless, that’s not what I’m talking about here.

(x) So, by the beginning of July 2020 he was working on concepts and ideas for the new album. That was fifteen months ago. I know perfection takes time but…

Brief summary of important things that happened from then until the next mention of new music:

Louis left Syco!!!! 10 days later he rescheduled the tour for the first time. He followed Matt Vines on Twitter, probably so we could publicly shame him into doing something. Also, the 10thanniversary. He followed more people I wish he hadn’t.

Then more nothing until September. Not even a single tweet. The first merch drop was on the 28th of August but he just RT’ed the tweet. He first mentioned Free my Meal on the 25th of September. Then on October 1st Walls hit #1 on a lot of countries and Louis was incredibly happy and excited about it ^^

And then, that same day, October 1st, 2020, he dropped this bomb:

(x)

He also said it was too soon to be sharing new lyrics with us (x)

And, obviously, this tweet which is actually what made me start this whole post. I would hope you know mate.

(x)

He also told us he was cooking "banger after banger" and that he was incorporating more social themes into his music (x)(x) (I believe any social issue is a political issue but that’s not the point rn).

COPY OF A COPY OF A COPY?!?!

These next paragraphs are brought to you by my mind not remembering things and me not having any links. I’m assuming COACOAC came from those writing sessions that supposedly happened in October. Or in LA but I have no idea if he actually was in LA at any point other than a Daily Mail article putting him there on December which would have been too late, but I do remember that someone said he was in the studio in LA last autumn???? A rumor. Maybe. IDK. Did I mention already all of this is very hypothetical?? Well, this is it. I can’t even remember if this was October or November or what. So, take this with a grain of salt.

I’m also… taking the liberty to assume, if you must, that Copy wasn’t meant to be a Walls reject because it sounds more mature and darker and it has a vastly different tone that Walls songs. I know he’s said that song probably isn’t getting into the album, but I want to have faith (in the future) that I’m getting a studio version. (But also, Louis, if you’re reading this, first of all GET OUT OF MY BLOG second of all, please don’t ever feel pressured again to add a song to the album because we have already heard it before. It’s your art and it should always be under your own terms).

So yeah, I believe that Copy is either one of those four songs (then imagine the other three??!!) or was written around the 1st of October date.

---End of the Intermission---

Then not much important (other than sharing more about Marcus Rashford fight against food poverty and the 2nd merch drop) until he announced the livestream on the 24th of November. (x)

It wasn’t until a few days before the livestream date we even thought again about new music (jk, I know we’re always thinking about new Louis’ music). So, December 9th/10th, 2020. Nine months ago. We got our first taste of new music!

He made sure we knew Copy of a Copy of a Copy isn't a cover! (x) (x)

(x)

Ok, so that’s it for 2020. (I feel like I’m missing something from September 17th because tweet was deleted but maybe he was still talking about cucumbers. We might never know. Unless I understand how Tumblr tags work). Expected, cause Walls was released in 2020. We needed to let it sit for a while.

2021

Another Summary: Louis third tweet of the year was telling the UK government off. So was the fifth. What a good beginning. On the 26th of January, he said he prefers pancakes over waffles. I hope he meant pancakes other than his own. More importantly, he tweeted the infamous “you lot read into things too much”. Don’t get me started, Tomlinson. Don’t. Then the 31st came around and Walls was one. He tweeted this. How wise. And Project Defenceless happened!!

15th of February!! Who cares about Valentine Day when the next day we got this? ♥

(x)

(x)

So…AN EP?? AN EP?? PLEASE RELEASE AN EP.

“I’m sure I will have something out this year but unlikely that will be the album”. Unlikely but not impossible. Also. A single would be good. This is the second time he mentions releasing something in 2021 and he sounds surer about it than the first time around.

He also said that he isn’t sure we will get a studio version of Copy. And that the best bridges from Walls to LT2 are Walls, OTB, KMM and Copy. Can’t wait!

Then we jump to March 6th when he announced he was going to create his own management company. “Sometimes action is needed first to encourage the motivation and belief”. As we can tell he was already manifesting some stuff which will lead us to the numerology stuff/Tesla… kidding. Or not. We might never know.

On the 22nd of March he answered some questions:

He told us music was still his main focus ♥ mwha. (x) I included this tweet to guilt-trip him into giving us music in case he’s reading this even after I told him to leave. ILY.

(x) I’d love to get a visual EP this autumn. Just saying. It sounds like a lovely concept.

(x)

…next (I will get into it, I promise. I’m just mad).

On the 25th he left for Mexico until April 10th. You could assume it was just for the documentary where we got ten seconds of footage or admit the obvious: LT2 its a Mexican baby!!

On the 26th (so, not so far apart from that first 369) we got the first Faith in the Future mention: (x)

Back then we were innocent people who had no idea what was coming upon us. We still have no idea because what the fuck does he mean with these. Please explain. I have one braincell and I don’t use it enough for this. I’m linking some theories.

On the 30th of March he confirmed he was already working on the documentary. So AFHF was already on the works. Will it take this long for us to get the Veeps numbers? We also got this tweet: "Got a decent chorus idea down" (x).

Same person that got the “something out this year” exclusive. If you know something share with the class. Also. Is this Change? I feel like this could be Change but I also assume he wrote Change after hanging out with his friends or being in Doncaster. But who knows.

(x) And the second mention to 369.

(x) 15th of April. The second "Faith in the future".

On the 19th of April he announced that he had something BIG for us later on the year which turned out to be the Away From Home Festival ♥♥ (x) I love him so much.

Then on the 28th he announced the 369 merch drop (which it’s probably the Walls drop? Except that the TOU and KMM ones were “drop 1 and drop 2” and this was drop 369 which, again, makes no sense) but we still don’t know what 369 means.

Into May’ 21 we go.

He rescheduled tour again. And dropped another bomb (x).

He announced he has signed with BMG as an independent artist by RTing this tweet on May 10th. The article also says that he’s already working on writing and recording LT2. The timing… we don’t know. What this deal involves… we don’t know either. Bear with me here because I have a lot to say about this.

I think the deal is only a distribution one, but that BMG are interested in Louis and what he (us) could bring to the table. They were either present at the festival or watching it, but officially they had no involvement at all with it (everything is credited either to Louis own company, 78 Productions, or Charlie Lightening’s company). That’s the case for both giveaways too; the vinyl one and the tickets for the festival.

I think it would be an unbelievably bad move not to test the waters with BMG now or soon-ish. At least a single, to see how it performs. Due to the circumstances, it’s obvious there’re certain limitations on place but I want to see how they push it, whether the radio play exist this time around and if the song is playlisted and promoted and all that… I would also love to know, since it says he signed with BMG UK, but it also states it’s a global deal, how things are going to go on the US and other countries.

Yes, yes. I know those are all questions and no answers. But I know the same as you, sadly. If any of you know more than you’re letting on… again, share with the class.

Where was I? Yes, on the 25th of May Louis had a great day writing (x). Since the first time he had mentioned he was officially writing to this date there’s almost eight months. And I believe he was writing before October’ 20.

He followed Robert Harvey that day and, on the 28th of May (why is it always the 28th???) he was spotted at the studio for the first time.

June was an interesting month for the fandom ♥. Lots of LHL content which I will love and cherish for the rest of times. On June 4th, June 9th, and June 10th he was spotted at the studio, but I believe he was there more days.

(x)

This was posted on June 6th and captioned Studio. Charlie also shared it with “Mega tunes being put down, can’t wait for this @louist91 #louistomlinson #LT2” as the caption. This gives me 2019 (Elton-Joint) vibes. I like it. Feels like we’re getting closer to something.

He added the Milano date on the 9th too which I’m mentioning because I’m going alone. Anyone wanna go with me please? I’m nice and I never eat anything before a concert so you can have my food. On other news. It didn’t come home.

During July he was at the studio at least three days too. Probably more. Feels like more with all the fan pictures we got. Or was that June? Anyway, July 1st and 9th we got some videos from Robert Harvey and wearesuperhi, which is who Louis has been working with the most, that we know of. I don’t know for sure they’re from that day. And on July 5th we got an article and lots of pictures of Louis looking really good outside the studio.

On the 12th of July the first fans started getting the free, 369 bucket hat and print. We still don’t know what the purpose was other than to thanks fans. Maybe that was it. I want answers and I still think it relates to a future project (see theories above), but it could also just be a bridge with the Walls breaking.

He didn’t tweet about anything interesting for a while, mostly because he lost his phone (he either throwed it in the air or smashed it who knows). Then on the 29th of July he announced the festival!

I’m glossing over it because there’s already been a lot of talk about it (rightfully) and while it was a wonderful thing, it doesn’t have much to do with LT2.

Let’s talk Change!

On August 3rd he tweeted this about the setlist.

(x)

And this (x) on the 28th! I can’t stand him.

We didn’t get it, obviously. Because who was going to get that. But we read too much into things. Alright.

On the 16thof August Dave Gibson shared this post tagged #LT2 with the eyes emojis 👀👀👀. I believe this has to do both with Change but also with whatever else came out of that Mexico trip.

(x) Last relevant tweet related to LT2 is this one.

So, on the 30th of August we got Change and we cried, and we know that Change is going in the new album. He said it. With those exact words. He also said he was “getting a feeling for it”. This has to meant he already has a general idea of the vibe of the new album and what’s going in it!!!!!! (Right? RIGHT?).

Anyway, let’s go back a few weeks because some other things happened on August. He was at the studio a few more times. Or it was suggested that he was there. On the 17th and the 18th. (Why was it so time-pressing to be at the studio instead of rehearsing for the festival? There was no studio at all on the documentary. Which makes sense, but again, then why?).

On the day of the festival we got another mention of Faith in The Future that made me feel part of a cult ngl. The words were flashing on the screen for less than a second. Okay.

And then he tweeted those words again after watching the livestream/documentary on the 4th of September (x). This is what makes me suspect it's either the name of the album or of the single.

On the same day, we got some interesting quotes about LT2 on the documentary.

“Soon I’ll have to think about me second album, which in my head I’ll get the tour out of the way and then I’ll address that. So, I hadn’t really given it much thought, to be honest”.

“When every day is the same is hard to feel creative and it’s hard to have any kind of proper inspiration”.

“As season started to come back, I started writing again and it was great and some of these songs turned out alright”.

And I think this is it. I might be overlooking some important details but that’s what we know and what we don’t know.

So. Conclusions. That’s what you missed on Glee. I do believe the album is, if not mostly done, partially there. And yes, this post is pointless and never-ending but it’s all in here if you need to tell Louis “Hey, you said this, mate”.

[bluewinnerangel]

can you drop ur chronological playlist pls bestie <3 i need to refresh mine

Putting these together because chronological playlist. so mine isn't in chronological order as in the order in which these songs were made/released or that they're responding to each other. Nope. You're gonna love me or hate me for this...

Lemme take you through the thought process, because there's quite some at unexpected spots. For a lot I don't actually think they're meant that way, it's just that they fit at that spot because of their surrounding songs or can be interpreted a certain way (of many ways) and applied to that era. Many orders would work. Ok so songs:

1-6 is like baby boyfriends falling in love on the set of WMYB fase bleeding into ok we're still good but there's forces driving us apart

7-8 haylno

9 hugging pre- and post-Two Ghosts so it's gotta stick there,

10-14 as more heavy closeting responses

15-19 starting over while still being young

20-25 yeah this is really hard but we're strong together

26-32 nasty era but also we stuck in this industry and these songs totally work for both but yeah let's make sure the world knows how nasty we are

33-35 byebye now hiatus time bye 1D

36-44 post 1D, who the fk am I all by myself

45-48 Home is established tho, you're my home, I'm yours, we beat the odds together

49-53 kinda bleeds from a positive hopeful I can be whoever I wanna be now into shit same as it ever was

54-55 gender identity issues and the partner's perspective

56-57 obviously ending with FL/OTB

58 Then at the very end I put JHO because I just want to end on that message.

oopsie overwhelming
