“nobody is listening” NOBODY IS LISTENING. NOBODY IS LISTENING TO HIM! the album cover- everyone’s watching but nobody’s listening. this song. and still nobody is listening
lol the problem is that I AM LISTENING to him and my heart is broke in 1000 pieces... because how can you feel ok after that you read this lyrics?? i mean these lyrics don't make me feel comfortable at all.
LYRICS (with an explanation) NOSTALGIA...WHAT A FUNNY FEELING I FEEL DEPLETED FROM FEELINGS I'VE BEEN REVEALING IT'S DO OR DIE, I'M NOT GOING WILLING (from the saying to "DO something OR DIE trying." To "not go willingly" means to fight against death. BUT WHEN IT'S TIME WRAP IN WHITE LINEN (the Muslim tradition of wrapping their dead in white linen) I RAP THIS ( Zayn is rapping here but, it's also a play on the word wrap which is pronounced the same way, "It's a wrap" or "wrap it up" means to end something. So, "I wrap this" could be him leaving the band) I SAY IT FOR MY SANITY WHATEVER THE CALAMITY, I DID THIS FOR MYSELF (when he left 1D?) FUCK ALL OF YOUR FANTASIES (to those who imagine they know him but don't - such as the media, the public in general, the fans, the band, or someone specific) YOU'RE A SNAKE, FELL OFF THE LADDER (the saying "A snake in the grass" means the unexpected betrayal by a friend / something you never saw coming. Also, "Snakes & Ladders" is the name of a board game invented centuries ago in ancient India "as part of moral instruction to children" and was originally about virtues (ladders) versus vices (snakes). I PREFER SPEAKING IN ANALOGIES I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF ALL THIS WET ("wet" a euphemism for crying, tears, sadness) AND I CAN'T TRUST THAT YOU'RE MY FAMILY (not trusting someone close, who was like family to him. The boys in 1D once thought of themselves as brothers...so, it could be one of them he's talking to. Or, in light of what's happened recently, he could be talking about his relationship with Yolanda ) I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S NEXT ( he's wondering about the future, but it's not clear if he's referring to now, or, that period of time when he left the band) THE BRAIN-DEAD THAT I NEVER MISS? (the phrase "brain-dead" = stupid, mindless, non-thinking people) MY BRAIN LIVES WITH THE CANNABIS CAN I RESIST THE DARK ABYSS? (An abyss is a very deep and dark part of the ocean. As a euphemism, it could mean plunging into the unconscious, the oblivion of drugs or, sinking into depression, as in the "depths of despair" He's asking himself if he can resist getting lost in any of the above) AND LEAVE A MARK ON THIS, WITH NO START, JUST EXIST? (the saying "to leave a mark on the world' means leaving behind achievements that will be remembered by future generations. The phrase "with no start, just exist" is his belief that life is eternal, with no start or end, telling himself to just exist without the pressure to achieve something) MY MIND IS IN A PRISM SHAPE (a prism is what happens when sunlight passes through glass or crystal and refracts into colors and geometric shapes) AND IN TIMES LIKE A PRISON STATE (a prison state is a totalitarian regime - constant surveillance, with no freedom to be who you are or to do what you want. It's the brutality of life in prison or under dictatorships like North Korea or the Taliban. He could be referring to feeling like a prisoner stuck inside his mind because of his paralyzing fears and anxieties as well as the fishbowl existence of celebrity) THERE'S NO RIGHT THAT I FEEL OF LATE ( He is taking poetic license playing with two phrases : "Lately, I don't feel right" and, "I don't know what is right, lately", two phrases with completely different meanings. Duplicate meanings appeal to Zayn but, he's also changing the words around for the sake of rhyming with the previous line: state/late) THERE'S NO LIGHT IF MY VIEW IS AT STAKE (the saying "There's no light at the end of the tunnel" means there is no hope, no end to a dark period or unhappy situation. It comes from the metaphor of a train going through a dark tunnel which eventually comes out the other end, into the light. To have something be "at stake" means, to be at risk. My interpretation is : there's no point to life (no light) if I can't be myself, have my own vision, risk having my own point of view). When he left 1D it was a dark period of time. The light at the end of that tunnel was his hope of fulfilling his vision of himself as an artist, with his own musical style) AND WHICH LEFT SHOULD I CHOOSE TO TAKE? ( literally which way should I go but also a play on the words left and right because taking the "right turn" can also mean the "correct" turn. Therefore, when he says LEFT I think it's deliberate, implying that his choices haven't always seen as the "right" thing to do for his life/career. WHAT'S LEFT? IS IT ROOM OR SPACE? ( Double meanings again...What is left after 1D? And also, what did he encounter when he went left as in the "wrong" way instead of "right" as in the correct turn? He asks the question then answers it himself saying it was the room or space to grow into who he would become) THERE ARE RUMORS WE HAVE TO FACE (people who know 1D and Zayn know some of the rumors he is referring to ) I PREFER SOONER THAN AFTER , LATE (playing with the order of words in the common phrase, "Better sooner than later"... "Better sooner than after" has essentially the same meaning but separating the word LATE with a comma is Zayn referring to the fact that he didn't lie about his performance anxiety when asked. He chose to address the rumors honestly (SOONER), rather than be forced to admit them later (AFTER), possibly too LATE, after speculation and gossip had gone too far. By then, he might have been criticized for lying or accused of shaming people who had similar issues.) I'VE SEEN ACTORS AFTER BAFTAS BE MORE STRAIGHT ( BAFTA stands for British Academy of Film and Television Arts and is an award given to actors to acknowledge their performance. The word "straight" has several meanings. It can mean not crooked, as in "a straight line." It can also mean to be honest as in "be straight with me." Straight, not crooked, also means law-abiding / not a criminal" That's where the phrase "he was a crook or crooked" comes from. It can also mean heterosexual as in "he was straight, not gay" Here he is either accusing someone of lying saying: I've seen actors put on a better performance of being honest, or, he's saying he has seen gay actors putting on a better performance of being straight. Lastly, to "put on an act" as actors do, means to pretend, to essentially lie, or not be real/honest) I MEAN DOWN THE BARREL (he's clarifying the previous sentence saying that he means "honest" because the next part "DOWN THE BARREL" refers to a gun. To look "down the barrel" of a gun allows you to shoot straight and hit a target. The phrase "he was a straight-shooter" became synonymous with someone who was honest and spoke the truth. So, Zayn is telling someone, who could be gay, that he's referring to their honesty, not their homosexuality) I HEAR THEM SING - IT'S THE SAME CAROL ( A carol is a song sung in a group, in unison, usually at Christmas as in "a Christmas Carol." He could be referring to the music industry or, music artists, saying they're just regurgitating the same songs over and over or, since a carol is a song sung in harmony in a group, he could also be referring to 1D) THEY'RE TRYING TO SPRINT IN A LONG RUN, MO FARAH ( a sprint is a short-distance race, whereas the athlete Mo Farah is a long-distance runner, implying that some music artists are playing the short game of chart hits and fame instead of cultivating the long distance career of good music and the respectability of a serious artist. He sees himself as the latter. He doesn't seem to care about promoting himself or making money - just making the music he wants to make and not what record execs tell him will sell records). THEY'RE TRYING TO FIX WHEN IT'S LONG GONE, DON'T BOTHER (Fix has two meanings here. It can mean to repair something, as in Zayn telling fans who want 1D to "fix" the rift between them and reunite, "don't bother. It's long gone". Fixed also means manipulated for a specific end result and therefore fake. "It was a fixed race", or "the fix was in" are common phrases used when talking about a fake win. Zayn could be saying the music industry is fixed, that the results for award shows are manipulated by industry insiders long before so, there is no real contest. It's fake and not really about the best artist winning but about sales and back-room deals. THERE'S NO OTHER. THE THOUGHT SHUDDERS THROUGH MOST LOVERS (playing with the order of words in the phrase "Shudder The Thought" which means "I don't want to imagine that scary possibility" or, "that's a scary thought that makes me shudder." It's about the fear that people have of not finding a soul mate or significant other. I WANT TO BED YOU BUT STILL SLEEP IS DEATH'S COUSIN ( "I want to bed you" or "I want to take you to bed" or "I want to sleep with you" are all euphemisms for " I want to have sex with you". Sleep is also a euphemism for death as in "putting your dog to sleep." Death is sometimes referred to as "the long sleep." I think he's talking to an ex-lover saying, "I love you and desire you sexually but this relationship is a dead end - it won't work out". He also says this in the song Better : "You're still in my mind sometimes I must admit it but, me and you wasn't meant, we wasn't fitted" (we weren't meant to be, we didn't really fit). SO TWO WEEKS IS NOW FOUR DOZEN (he could be referring to the amount of time that has passed since he broke it off with this person. Or, he could be taking poetic license to illustrate the idea that, although he always knew the relationship wouldn't last long, it perhaps lasted longer than he thought it would or, longer than he meant it to) YEARS THAT PASS BACK (going back to past years) CAN'T PRESS THE REWIND, JUST WATCH MY LIFE BY (I can't rewind, go back in time and watch my life go by?) AND LOCK THE RIGHT TIES (the phrase "lock it down" refers to committing to a person in a relationship.The "right ties" means with the right person i.e. Gigi Hadid? ) NOBODY IS LISTENING...
I will never forgive you for trying to break down harry and louis lyrics and figure out everything but then not listen to zayn. He made a whole ficking album to tell you. NOBODY. IS. LISTENING.
I really wonder what you have genuinely understood from his lyrics? If you think it’s about a secret relationship I think you might be projecting a lot then because I donkey see any of it in that song… And I was looking for it carefully. I think most of it it’s about his struggles with his management/label those past years. Since he refuses to tour I think they work hard to ruin his reputation and break him. The industry is all « Do or die » and now he is « wrap in white linen » his label doesn’t count on him anymore, he is irrelevant. Zayn also give his answer to a lot of nasty rumors about his drug habits. I bet the lines about some people singing « the same carols » and the rush they have to lead their career « sprint a long run » are about his ex band mates (maybe a bit more against Harry styles who get many nominations and a career in cinema going on (BAFTA)).
Have to agree. I dont think this song is about a relationship. Imo this song is a total cry for help. it just gives me eerie chills. "fuck all your fantasies" - the rumors about him, the defamation i'd say "singing... same carol" - Id say he's talking about either One Directions music (cause he thinks its generic and his songs got rejected) or society in general.. all doing the same thing, thinking the same thing "cant trust that you're my family" - 100% the Hadids or SYCO He talks about his mind being in a "prison state". He discusses "deaths cousin" and cannabis like... its worrying Theres so much more, but I am so curious as to what this songs about. What makes this more eerie is that he's the only person who wrote this song, no one else was involved.
The enemy ascended beyond your control Or was that all your intention? They have managed to demolish whatever we made But you're failing to comprehend If they can, they will easily butcher you whole While you're blinded by your depression I have gotten to the point where I'm just too afraid That you're going to meet your end My screams echo out through the fire And your rival dares stand in my way Yes, this is a hardship most dire And one day, you will heed what I say This is my message to my master This is a fight you cannot win I think that past your great disasters Their victory stirs below your skin If you proceed, I will not blame you I will move forth and win your war But if I should die before you continue You shall have heard my final dying roar The enemy ascended beyond your control Or was that all your intention? They have managed to demolish whatever we made But you're failing to comprehend If they can, they will easily butcher you whole While you're blinded by your depression I have gotten to the point where I'm just too afraid That you're going to meet your end My screams echo out through the fire And your rival dares stand in my way Yes, this is a hardship most dire And one day, you will heed what I say This is my message to my master This is a fight you cannot win I think that past your great disasters Their victory stirs below your skin If you proceed, I will not blame you I will move forth and win your war But if I should die before you continue You shall have heard my final dying roar
Nostalgia, what a funny feelin' I feel depleted from feelings I've been revealin' It's do or die, I'm not goin' willing But when it's time, wrap in white linen I rap this, I say it for my sanity Whatever the calamity, I did this for myself Fuck all of your fantasies You're a snake, fell off the ladder I prefer speakin' in analogies I've had enough of all this wet And I can't trust that you're my family I don't know what's next The brain dead that I never miss My brain lives with the cannabis Can I resist the dark abyss? Leave a mark on this with no start, just exist My mind's in a prism shape And in timеs like a prison state Therе's no right that I feel of late There's no light if my view's at stake And which life should I choose to take? What's left, is it room or space? There are rumors we have to face I prefer sooner than after late I seen actors after BAFTA's be more straight I mean down the barrel I hear 'em sing, it's the same carol They're tryna sprint in a long run, Mo Farah They're tryna fix when it's long gone, don't bother There's no other, the thought shudders through most lovers I wanna bed you, but still sleep is death's cousin So two weeks is now four dozen Years that pass by, can't press no rewind Just watch my life by and lock the right ties Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me
It means that literally no one is listening to him idk if you listen to the rest of the boys but he doesn't get acknowledged as much as like harry. Harry gets praised for everything he does but when zayn does he was just ignored. the song isn't about H but it's the fact the nobody cares and doesn't listen to him
@@jacquelinegarcia6913 you’re correct, it’s way more personal, Zayn doesn’t promote his stuff, if he wanted fame, he would at least do these promotional activities but he doesn’t even involved in that, all his albums are personal and based on his experience whilst he was in the band and after that
but when its time wrap in white linen ... so when a muslim die we wrap his body in white linen and bury him ... yes only with linen not wooden coffin and anything ..
@@samanthaireland4038 yes he has been singing with male pronouns lately look on inzayn channel and this is why bella Hadid friend Daniel called him a fag,and said he had pictures.
😣 Extremely Bizarre, Curious, but ultimately Dreadful pseudo-rap... Sounds more like a person in drug rehab filled with self pity going through withdrawals... Is this even music? IF the previously talented Zayn keeps going down this path of self absorbed vanity productions, then just like the title of his album.... No Body Will Be Listening 😣😣😣😣
@@lazyhomebody1356 then YOU write one and I'll read it ...because I'm dying to understand anything about why this is Zayn's music and what it's supposed to be???? 😣
@@michaelgrant7322 I'm no expert. I don't even play an instrument. My idea is these are his 3 am thoughts and as he admits, he is stoned alot of the time. So these tunes and lyrics are what he comes up with. I'm liking it!
@@michaelgrant7322 No, honest! I DO think Zayn is cute, and I am a girl, but I only started liking his music about a year ago. "Fingers" was the first of his songs I loved. It MAY be the newness of the songs though. Pretty sure I'll always love Vibez but maybe the others will grow old,lol

He’s so real.
You know how he says nobody is listening, let's show him how much listening we can do.
I think he means we are heaering him but not listening. I’m trying to understand what he’s feelings and talking about in his songs.
@@norinellysrodriguez4538 ik it's just that we aren't only listening but also understanding. Just trying to make him feel heard.

“nobody is listening” NOBODY IS LISTENING. NOBODY IS LISTENING TO HIM! the album cover- everyone’s watching but nobody’s listening. this song. and still nobody is listening

LYRICS (with an explanation)
NOSTALGIA...WHAT A FUNNY FEELING
I FEEL DEPLETED FROM FEELINGS I'VE BEEN REVEALING
IT'S DO OR DIE, I'M NOT GOING WILLING (from the saying to "DO something OR DIE trying." To "not go willingly" means to fight against death.
BUT WHEN IT'S TIME WRAP IN WHITE LINEN (the Muslim tradition of wrapping their dead in white linen)
I RAP THIS ( Zayn is rapping here but, it's also a play on the word wrap which is pronounced the same way, "It's a wrap" or "wrap it up" means to end something. So, "I wrap this" could be him leaving the band)
I SAY IT FOR MY SANITY WHATEVER THE CALAMITY, I DID THIS FOR MYSELF (when he left 1D?)
FUCK ALL OF YOUR FANTASIES (to those who imagine they know him but don't - such as the media, the public in general, the fans, the band, or someone specific)
YOU'RE A SNAKE, FELL OFF THE LADDER (the saying "A snake in the grass" means the unexpected betrayal by a friend / something you never saw coming. Also, "Snakes & Ladders" is the name of a board game invented centuries ago in ancient India "as part of moral instruction to children" and was originally about virtues (ladders) versus vices (snakes).
I PREFER SPEAKING IN ANALOGIES
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF ALL THIS WET ("wet" a euphemism for crying, tears, sadness)
AND I CAN'T TRUST THAT YOU'RE MY FAMILY (not trusting someone close, who was like family to him. The boys in 1D once thought of themselves as brothers...so, it could be one of them he's talking to. Or, in light of what's happened recently, he could be talking about his relationship with Yolanda )
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S NEXT ( he's wondering about the future, but it's not clear if he's referring to now, or, that period of time when he left the band)
THE BRAIN-DEAD THAT I NEVER MISS? (the phrase "brain-dead" = stupid, mindless, non-thinking people)
MY BRAIN LIVES WITH THE CANNABIS
CAN I RESIST THE DARK ABYSS? (An abyss is a very deep and dark part of the ocean. As a euphemism, it could mean plunging into the unconscious, the oblivion of drugs or, sinking into depression, as in the "depths of despair" He's asking himself if he can resist getting lost in any of the above)
AND LEAVE A MARK ON THIS, WITH NO START, JUST EXIST? (the saying "to leave a mark on the world' means leaving behind achievements that will be remembered by future generations. The phrase "with no start, just exist" is his belief that life is eternal, with no start or end, telling himself to just exist without the pressure to achieve something)
MY MIND IS IN A PRISM SHAPE (a prism is what happens when sunlight passes through glass or crystal and refracts into colors and geometric shapes)
AND IN TIMES LIKE A PRISON STATE (a prison state is a totalitarian regime - constant surveillance, with no freedom to be who you are or to do what you want. It's the brutality of life in prison or under dictatorships like North Korea or the Taliban. He could be referring to feeling like a prisoner stuck inside his mind because of his paralyzing fears and anxieties as well as the fishbowl existence of celebrity)
THERE'S NO RIGHT THAT I FEEL OF LATE ( He is taking poetic license playing with two phrases : "Lately, I don't feel right" and, "I don't know what is right, lately", two phrases with completely different meanings. Duplicate meanings appeal to Zayn but, he's also changing the words around for the sake of rhyming with the previous line: state/late)
THERE'S NO LIGHT IF MY VIEW IS AT STAKE (the saying "There's no light at the end of the tunnel" means there is no hope, no end to a dark period or unhappy situation. It comes from the metaphor of a train going through a dark tunnel which eventually comes out the other end, into the light. To have something be "at stake" means, to be at risk. My interpretation is : there's no point to life (no light) if I can't be myself, have my own vision, risk having my own point of view). When he left 1D it was a dark period of time. The light at the end of that tunnel was his hope of fulfilling his vision of himself as an artist, with his own musical style)

YEARS THAT PASS BACK (going back to past years)
CAN'T PRESS THE REWIND, JUST WATCH MY LIFE BY (I can't rewind, go back in time and watch my life go by?)
AND LOCK THE RIGHT TIES (the phrase "lock it down" refers to committing to a person in a relationship.The "right ties" means with the right person i.e. Gigi Hadid? )

@@adred9768 that's exactly what ik saying.
Ikr 100%. So true. Finally somebody who understands. Can we like marry?
Have to agree. I dont think this song is about a relationship. Imo this song is a total cry for help. it just gives me eerie chills.
"fuck all your fantasies" - the rumors about him, the defamation i'd say
"singing... same carol" - Id say he's talking about either One Directions music (cause he thinks its generic and his songs got rejected) or society in general.. all doing the same thing, thinking the same thing
"cant trust that you're my family" - 100% the Hadids or SYCO
He talks about his mind being in a "prison state". He discusses "deaths cousin" and cannabis like... its worrying
Theres so much more, but I am so curious as to what this songs about. What makes this more eerie is that he's the only person who wrote this song, no one else was involved.
I just found myself crying when I reached the “nobody is listening” part...
this made me cry wooo its so emotional I cant😭
November 2021! He was telling us what was going to happen in October of this year, snakes fell off the ladder (Hadids, Gigi included)! 💛💚❤️
This song is goddamned poetry
he is trapped I hope this ends soon❤️💛
His voiceeeee
The enemy ascended beyond your control
Or was that all your intention?
They have managed to demolish whatever we made
But you're failing to comprehend
If they can, they will easily butcher you whole
While you're blinded by your depression
I have gotten to the point where I'm just too afraid
That you're going to meet your end
My screams echo out through the fire
And your rival dares stand in my way
Yes, this is a hardship most dire
And one day, you will heed what I say
This is my message to my master
This is a fight you cannot win
I think that past your great disasters
Their victory stirs below your skin
If you proceed, I will not blame you
I will move forth and win your war
But if I should die before you continue
You shall have heard my final dying roar
The enemy ascended beyond your control
Or was that all your intention?
They have managed to demolish whatever we made
But you're failing to comprehend
If they can, they will easily butcher you whole
While you're blinded by your depression

That you're going to meet your end
My screams echo out through the fire
And your rival dares stand in my way
Yes, this is a hardship most dire
And one day, you will heed what I say

Their victory stirs below your skin
If you proceed, I will not blame you
I will move forth and win your war
But if I should die before you continue
You shall have heard my final dying roar
Nostalgia, what a funny feelin'
I feel depleted from feelings I've been revealin'
It's do or die, I'm not goin' willing
But when it's time, wrap in white linen
I rap this, I say it for my sanity
Whatever the calamity, I did this for myself
Fuck all of your fantasies
You're a snake, fell off the ladder
I prefer speakin' in analogies
I've had enough of all this wet
And I can't trust that you're my family
I don't know what's next
The brain dead that I never miss
My brain lives with the cannabis
Can I resist the dark abyss?
Leave a mark on this with no start, just exist
My mind's in a prism shape
And in timеs like a prison state
Therе's no right that I feel of late
There's no light if my view's at stake
And which life should I choose to take?
What's left, is it room or space?
There are rumors we have to face
I prefer sooner than after late
I seen actors after BAFTA's be more straight
I mean down the barrel
I hear 'em sing, it's the same carol
They're tryna sprint in a long run, Mo Farah
They're tryna fix when it's long gone, don't bother
There's no other, the thought shudders through most lovers
I wanna bed you, but still sleep is death's cousin
So two weeks is now four dozen
Years that pass by, can't press no rewind
Just watch my life by and lock the right ties
Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me
Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin'
Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me
Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me
Canyon moon, two weeks and I'll be home,the baby gap year is over and he is waiting

This song is so sad
Would it help if he knew I know?
it's really painful to LISTENING TO HIM, FOR REAL and undestand about what and who he is talking about, because this song does not bode well, at all.
Heart zayn rapping
Brain nah hes not
Ugh I can’t fucking rap 😔💔
My crush
Same
This is so fucking sad
Everyone wanted to listen but Zayn never said anything
Can someone explain what this song means
It means that literally no one is listening to him idk if you listen to the rest of the boys but he doesn't get acknowledged as much as like harry. Harry gets praised for everything he does but when zayn does he was just ignored. the song isn't about H but it's the fact the nobody cares and doesn't listen to him
@@NotEm. i think their is a deeper meaning but yea Um thanks
@@jacquelinegarcia6913 you’re correct, it’s way more personal, Zayn doesn’t promote his stuff, if he wanted fame, he would at least do these promotional activities but he doesn’t even involved in that, all his albums are personal and based on his experience whilst he was in the band and after that
He's depressed and his whole life is shit and he's thinking about suicide and you don't wanna know the reasons
Рlagiat from Масло черного тмина "Танцуй".
+
but when its time wrap in white linen ...
so when a muslim die we wrap his body in white linen and bury him ... yes only with linen not wooden coffin and anything ..
This is plagiarism. This song is Масло Черного Тмина-Танцуй
мәссаған, кімнен-кімнен, зейннан күтпеп едім осындайды
Or the song was just an inspiration

I think he reveals that he’s gay or bi 🤍
girl no
@@samanthaireland4038 girl yesss🙌🏽
I think he crying out for help ✨my opinion ✨
@@samanthaireland4038 yes he has been singing with male pronouns lately look on inzayn channel and this is why bella Hadid friend Daniel called him a fag,and said he had pictures.
@@terrya9648 that is so inappropriate of Daniel whoever tf he is. I hope the Hadid's do not welcome him after that!
Plagiarism, music was stolen . Масло черного тмина - танцуй
😣 Extremely Bizarre, Curious, but ultimately Dreadful pseudo-rap... Sounds more like a person in drug rehab filled with self pity going through withdrawals... Is this even music? IF the previously talented Zayn keeps going down this path of self absorbed vanity productions, then just like the title of his album.... No Body Will Be Listening 😣😣😣😣
Well written review but I don't agree
@@lazyhomebody1356 then YOU write one and I'll read it ...because I'm dying to understand anything about why this is Zayn's music and what it's supposed to be???? 😣
@@michaelgrant7322 I'm no expert. I don't even play an instrument. My idea is these are his 3 am thoughts and as he admits, he is stoned alot of the time. So these tunes and lyrics are what he comes up with. I'm liking it!
@@lazyhomebody1356 I think you are probably a girl... And are just liking on ZAYN ❤... not on these stoned ramblings 😂
@@michaelgrant7322 No, honest! I DO think Zayn is cute, and I am a girl, but I only started liking his music about a year ago. "Fingers" was the first of his songs I loved. It MAY be the newness of the songs though. Pretty sure I'll always love Vibez but maybe the others will grow old,lol
