As you probably know (unless you live under a rock), ex-One Direction member Harry Styles recently released his first solo song which is called “Sign of the Times.” The song dropped at 3 a.m. eastern time and by the time most of us at UGA woke up, it was already on the top of the charts. So here are some thoughts we all had while listening to 5 minutes and 41 seconds of Harry Styles’s voice for the first time…
Before you press play…
“Take a deep breath!!! This is actually happening!!!”
When you press play…
“Just by the opening notes I know this is going to be a hit.”
“Did he just tell me to stop crying?? How did he know I was crying??”
“Are we sure this is the same boy who sang ‘What Makes You Beautiful’?”
When you remember the other 1D boys exist…
“Zayn Malik who???”
“Poor Niall, Liam and Louis. Their solo careers don’t stand a chance.”
When you’re half way through the song…
“I have to send this to all of my music snob friends who ever made fun of me for liking a boy band.”
“Umm… did he just belt out the entire last minute of this song?”
When the song finishes…
“Oh my god. I actually survived.”
“Time to replay.”
