Of course I'm working on my recaps of Made in the A.M. And I have 3 good reasons:
1 It brings Christine joy
2 I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS
3 It's tradition?
Fun story before I start my End of the Day commentary; before I listened to the album because it had leaked but I didn't have it yet I saw a tumblr post with like, the signs assigned to phrases, some were "want what you want" "say what you say" and Virgo was in the "love who you love" category, and I hadn't heard the song so I didn't know what that meant, but of course I was like, sure sure that sounds right. AND THEN I HEARD THE SONG and guess what, YOU LOVE WHO YOU LOVE, THERE AIN'T NO OTHER WAY.
End of the Day:
I told her that I loved her
Was not sure if she heard Yeah that's it, she didn't hear
The roof was pretty windy
And she didn't say a word
Party died downstairs Also, downstairs where? Is this your house? You're not being a good host. Are you at someone elses' house? Maybe you should leave now that the party is done.
Had nothing left to do
Just me, her and the moon I love the phrasing on this line because it's great
I set you on fire babe This part of the song is like, dancey. Almost like a latin dance feel, but not quite, but definitely a dance with like side step, hip swaying you know?
And down came the lightning on me
Love can be frightening for sure
Right here I swear it's like a cut to a different song, the chorus is in such a different style BUT IT'S MY FAVORITE PART OF THE SONG even though the first few times I heard it I was thrown off by the change so much that I couldn't decide if I liked it or not
All I know at the end of the day is you want what you want and you say what you say
And you'll follow your heart even though it'll break
Sometiiiiiiiiiimes
All I know at the end of the day is you love who you love
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learnt from a million mistakes
You're the one that I want at the end of the day I LOVE THIS WHOLE PART. Also it was during this section I realised that this song reminded me mostly of Louis. Like of all the boys, it seems the most Louis.
At the end of the day
You're the one that I want at the end of the day
Sure the night was over, I said it's forever This pronunciation of for-ev-er is the most confusing for my brain
Twenty minutes later wound up in the hospital
The priest thinks it's the devil I have questions. Why is the priest at the hospital, why is he giving you unsolicited opinions of being possessed, and why is he welcome in the hospital if he thinks things like a lightening strike or the flu are the devil
My mum thinks it's the flu
But girl it's only you "you make me SICK" is what I hear
I set you on fire babe also, good to see they kept up with the fire themes this album
And down came the lightning on me
Love can be frightening for sure
All I know at the end of the day is you want what you want and you say what you say
And you'll follow your heart even though it'll break
Sometimes
All I know at the end of the day is you love who you love
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learnt from a million mistakes
You're the one that I want at the end of the day I thought this was "if there's something I've loved from a million mistakes, you're the one that I want" which would be calling her a mistake, but like, I'm fine with that
When the sun goes down I know that you and me and everything will be alright
And when the city's sleeping
You and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming
You and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming This idea reminds me of Owl City and I can't figure out why. Is there a song of theirs about the city sleeping? Am I going insane? Who knows.
All I know at the end of the day is you want what you want and you say what you say
And you'll follow your heart even though it'll break
Sometimes
All I know at the end of the day is you love who you love
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learnt from a million mistakes
You're the one that I want at the end of the day
At the end of the day
You're the one that I want at the end of the day...
You're the one that I want at the end of the day...
Another fun story about this song. I took that Buzzfeed quiz about Which One Direction Album is Really your Favorite, and it was like, of these songs which is your favorite, for each question, and when I saw End of the Day as an option all I could think of was AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU'RE ANOTHER DAY OLDER you know, the song from Les Mis. ANyway, I didn't pick it and now I wonder if that messed up the quiz, but also I don't remember what I did pick from that section so maybe I love that choice more I DON'T KNOW.
