Top 10 One Direction Songs: Louis Tomlinson Edition

It's been a little over a year since one Direction has gone on hiatus, and there are no signs of them getting back together anytime soon. But despite their recent breakup, it's still fun to go back and listen to some of their older work. As I did this the other day, I realized one of the band members didn't get enough recognition and decided to give him the spotlight for this article. Louis Tomlinson has had a busy life these past few years. From being in a boyband to becoming a father, this guy is always on the go. So let's go back and see some of his best from back in his "glory days" of One Direction.

10. Moments

For their debut album, Louis didn't receive many solos. But despite his lack of vocal opportunities, he smashed it with this song. Moments is a ballad that truly exemplified Louis and his softer voice.

9. Right Now

It was rare for a one Direction song to start with Louis, but this song proved otherwise. Midnight Memories is One Direction's third album and is significant to the dynamic of the group because each member was given more equal singing opportunities.

8. Summer Love

Louis was still young in this song, and you can easily tell when his part comes up. His voice is interesting though because it's so raw compared to the rest of the band.

7. Fireproof

Louis Tomlinson's voice is incredible in this song because you can tell how much it has matured throughout the years. It's easy to see that he has become more confident as a singer because he's showing that he's more willing to take on these challenging solos.

6. Alive

I enjoy him in this song because the lyrics are so powerful in his part. He sings, "We gotta live before we get older, do what we like we've got nothing to lose. Shake off the weight of the world from shoulders, we've got nothing to prove". This not only describes Louis' personality perfectly, but also allows him to test his vocal range as well.

5. I Want To Write You A Song

We get blessed with a falsetto from him in this tune.

4. 18

This may be some of the best work Louis has done when it comes to solos. Although he didn't have to hit a crazy note or go out of range, his soft and delicate voice was captured wonderfully in this song.

3. Over Again


One of the best parts of Louis singing is being able to hear his accent as he is singing. In this song, he somewhat "talks" while he's singing, so it's always nice to see some of his British roots come out in his performances.

2. Love You Goodbye

That. High. Note. He. Hits. Absolutely breathtaking. I will never skip over this song on shuffle because not only did Louis do a phenomenal job on it, but he also wrote most of the lyrics from personal experiences.

1. No Control

The tune that was made perfectly for him. Not only is he lead vocals in the chorus, but he even gets a shot at a solo (which he executes flawlessly).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
