I guess what I’m trying to say is that Home kicks you extra hard in the dick, metaphorically speaking, when you hold it up next to Perfect, and here’s why: because Perfect is about these outside forces beyond their control shaping their lives, and the #experience of #fame, and how no matter how they try to live unfettered by that it’s always looming over them, limiting what they can offer to someone else in terms of love and a life together when the other person is always necessarily going to be one step removed from that experience and that reality. There’s still something there, it’s still worth something, there are still hotel rooms you can get into trouble in and there’s still places to meet up in secret, you can still take some joy in that freedom and fecklessness when you want or need to, but it’s a life that is always going to limit what you can offer to someone outside of that experience, at least somewhat.

And then you have Home, which taken after Perfect sounds like a love letter from each of them to the rest of the band. If Perfect is about the outside world inexorably pressing in, Home is about the safe and private ways you carve out love and meaning and insulate it from those outside forces. Because like they’ve told us over and over: the four of them are now the only ones on earth who know What It Is Like To Be In One Direction. And here you have them starting off by disparately singing lyrics about not quite finding what they’re looking for, about something missing and about stumbling and about their empty hearts, before that comes together and the searching gets satisfied; that they find (or more accurately make) something that feels like home. And it makes me think that the only home the four of them are probably willing or able to build right now is one for each other, which is probably not the one they were envisioning from the get go of everything, I would bet, but is no less real or sustainable than the love they might find with anyone else outside the band, and is probably if anything more grounding and more insulated by dint of their shared experiences, and the realization that that’s plenty, that baby we could be enough is, like I said, a real dick-kicker, metaphorically of course. ANYWAY.

Previous groups formed at Bootcamp have usually been doomed from the start and although usually making it through to the live shows don’t go much further. Futureproof, Hope and Miss Frank to name the most well known,
