Wow we are finally doing a song discussion on Ever Since New York! Remember when Harry played this song on SNL and it was the first time we saw him with a guitar?! This song has a lot of meaning and we unpack all of it. We talk about the many possible interpretations of the lyrics, the small artistic choices that make this song so special, and we include lots of little musical clips throughout. I would consider this to be a fairly light hearted episode but we do talk about death & grief just so ya know <3 This is a good one, we hope you enjoy.

In honor of halloween month we are re-visiting a song that we did an episode on last year, Two Ghosts! We both love this song so much and wanted to discuss it again. Since the first Two Ghosts song discussion we have had the opportunity to see Harry perform the song live and our love and admiration for the musical & lyrical complexities has grown. Included in this episode are lots of little musical clips of two ghosts and other songs/instruments we reference! This episode is a bit sad and a bit fun, a bit complicated and confused, not unlike the song and artist we are discussing.

We all know that Harry Styles' performance outfits are out of this world, but his street style is also spectacular. While in the past he has been partial to skinny jeans, plaid shirts, and band tees, more recently his style has morphed into billowy 80s-esque khakis, vintage shirts, neck bandannas, and of course his favorite Gucci loafers. We discuss Harry's recent looks including his airport attire, Britney Blue Jeans back stage look, and more!! We also talk about how Harry influences our own style and where you can get his looks for less!!

Are you in LOVE with Harry Styles' song covers as much as we are? Well then you're in luck. This episode we go through EVERY song cover Harry has done since going solo. This includes his magical rendition of Little Big Town's 'GIRL CRUSH', Rihanna's WILD THOUGHTS, Fleetwood Mac's THE CHAIN, and much much more. We also discuss the One Direction songs he has covered with his band including What Makes You Beautiful, Stockholm Syndrome, and If I Could Fly. Do we think the 1D versions are better or the solo Harry versions? How does he change them up? Why didn't he cover Olivia? Finally we talk about what covers we want to hear him cover for his second solo era and who he may duet with over the hrought!

This is a song discussion episode!! We break down Liam Payne's new track "Depend On It". It is his first BALLAD and we are excited to discuss what he brings to the table both in terms of vocal ability and lyrics. Liam really steps up throughout this song, perfectly conveying the sad emotion with his voice. His falsetto is lovely and makes us want to hear this LIVE!! (please please please Liam!). We are also in love with the Piano throughout the song and lyric changes in the last chorus. Check out Talk Direction Down Low on patreon.com/talkdirection for EXTRA PODCAST CONTENT!!
