1D Fact: Louis the Spiderman

Before everything else, let me ask you one question: Do you know who's Spiderman?

I guess I now do.

1D Fact!

Louis Tomlinson walked around London with his best mate, Stan, wearing a Spiderman mask so no one would knew who he was.

Thought I'd share this to all of you (even if you're not a fan of One Direction). It's LOL-worthy. It made my stomach ache, laughing. Louis, for all you must know, is like the clown of the band. There are a lot of videos of them with him looking, saying and doing something funny. That's the reason why I got a crush on him.

Here's also a vid of him with Harry Styles (my greater crush) prank-calling. I so love this video!

So, for you, what's the funniest Louis ever done/say?

New One Direction Single: More Than This

Directioners! Bet you all know that More Than This will be the next single from One Direction off their album, Up All Night. I know that you all know but I'm still excited for the MV!


My fave lyrics:
"If I'm louder, would you see me? Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me?"


and
"And as you close your eyes tonight, I pray that you will see the light that's shining from the stars above."

The official MV hasn't been released yet but for now, I'm going to include in this post their performance of the song from the Up All Night: Live Tour DVD (which they also posted on Youtube). Also, I'll be including the single cover. I'm not sure which is the official cover for the single, but I found two from the web. Enjoy!

Lyrics:




[Liam]
I'm broken
Do you hear me
I'm blinded
Cause you are everything I see
I'm dancing, alone
I'm praying
That your heart will just turn around


And as I walk up to your door
My eye turns to face the floor
Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say


Chorus:


[Harry]
When he opens his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I'm might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
Can't love you more than this




[Niall]
If I'm louder
Would you see me?
Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me?
Cause we are, the same
You saved me, when you leave it scarred again
[Louis]
And then I see you on the street
In his arms, I get weak
My body feels I'm on my knees
Praying


Chorus:
[Harry]
When he opens his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I'm might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this


[Zayn]
I've never had the words to say
But now I'm asking you to stay
For a little while inside my arms
And as you close your eyes tonight
I pray that you will see the light
That's shining from the stars above


[Liam]
When he opens his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
Cause I can't love you more than this
[Harry]
When he lays you down, I'm might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah


When he opens his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this


When he lays you down, I'm might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
[Liam]
Can't love you more than this
