What are you listening to? Live While We’re Young lyrics http://www.metrolyrics.com/live-while-were-young-lyrics-one-direction.html Little Things lyrics http://www.lyricsfreak.com/o/one+direction/little+things_21048236.html What are you listening to? By: Yanely Ramos

Live While We’re Young – One Direction I picked this song, because it is my favorite band, and I think the song has a catchy beat, and anyone can relate to it. I think the tone of the song was meant to put people in good moods, but to me it put me into a fun, crazy mood. It isn’t really a song for people that are having problems, but if you have a depressing life, you could listen to this song because the main meaning is to have fun and do anything and everything you can while you’re young.

Live While We’re Young. This song is a literal poem, I know this because it is in stanzas and in the song it directly states what they are trying to say. Although this song doesn’t rhyme nor have three poetic devices I found three examples for repetition– ‘Live While We’re Young’, ‘Let’s go crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun’, and ‘Tonight’s let’s get some….’ and the other poetic device I found was first person point of view, I picked this because throughout the song it says ‘I’.

Live While We’re Young. The title is a big thing about the song, because if you listen to it throughout the entire song, they always refer back to this line in the song.

Little Things – One Direction. Little things has repetition in it , I know this because the title ‘Little Things’ repeats in the song a lot, so the title is important to this song, some other poetic devices is that it is put in first person point of view, because it repeats I, or I’m, and it rhymes in the song a bit ‘And maybe that’s the reason that you talk in your sleep, And all those conversation are the secrets that I keep.’

Little Things. This song is written towards their girlfriends to not be insecure about themselves, because their boyfriends (the singers) love the things they don’t like about themselves, so that is why I chose this song, because I love the meaning.

Little Things. I think the tone is to put any girl that listens to it into a good mood and not to be insecure about themselves, so that’s what mood it puts me in. This song could go with people with insecurities. The song is written in a poem, and it is literal, because they are just singing what they feel, they don’t use figurative language.

Little Things (LT)vs. Live While We’re Young (LWWY) Both Little Things and Live While We’re Young are both sung by One Direction. Although LWWY is about living life to the fullest while you can they both have good meaning, because LT is about not being insecure about yourself. In both songs they have repetition, and the main repetition for both songs are the title of the song. They are both directed to the same audience but for different people, because LT goes for insecure girls and LWWY is for anyone.

Compare and contrast cont. They both have literal meanings. I know this because in the song it doesn’t hide what it is trying to say, where you have to find out, it’s just out there. LWWY doesn’t rhyme, but LT does sometimes at the end of a line in stanzas.
