Niall Horan Nurses Heartbreak In The 'Too Much To Ask' Video
Warning: It's really quite sad to see the 'Slow Hands' star this sad-looking...
Niall Horan, arguably pop's biggest sweetheart, has just released the video for his latest single and it's absolutely adorable.
'Too Much To Ask' is an emotional ballad about dealing with heartbreak, and the video follows Niall around London as he struggles to get over his ex, thanks to a couple insensitively kissing on the tube and the loneliness of his depressingly dark hotel room.
The somber visual was directed by the very talented Malia James, who also shot Anne-Marie's 'Alarm' and Troye Sivan's 'YOUTH' videos, so obviously it's amazing.
Only yesterday we were on the run
You smile back at me and your face lit up the sun
Now I'm waiting here for someone
And oh, love, do you feel this rough?
Why's it only you I'm thinking of?
My shadow's dancing
Without you for the first time
My heart is hoping
You'll walk right in tonight
Tell me there are things that you regret
'Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet
It's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?
Is it too much to ask?
Someone's moving outside
The lights come on and down the drive
I forget you're not here when I close my eyes
Do you still think of me sometimes?
And oh, love, watch the sun coming up
Don't it feel fucked up we're not in love?
My shadow's dancing
Without you for the first time
My heart is hoping
You'll walk right in tonight
Tell me there are things that you regret
'Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet
It's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?
My shadow's dancing
Without you for the first time
My heart is hoping
You'll walk right in tonight
Tell me there are things that you regret
'Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet
My shadow's dancing
Without you for the first time
My heart is hoping
You'll walk right in tonight
Tell me there are things that you regret
'Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet
It's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?
It's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?
It's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?
It's the perfect visual to accompany the brilliant song, which fully comes to life when Niall performs it with a full band in one set-up.
There's a major emphasis on him being alone in the video, for obvious reasons, but as it goes on we see him find strength in being alone instead of being lonely and it's just lovely.
For most of the time you will just want to give him a hug, though.
'Too Much To Ask' is the third single from his upcoming solo debut Flicker, which drops next month on October 20th.
If this song and 'Slow Hands' are anything to go by then Niall might just have one of the best albums of the year in his hands.
