“Copy of a Copy of a Copy” by Louis Tomlinson

Louis Tomlinson’s “Copy of a Copy of a Copy” offers a unique perspective on the well-worn musical subject of heartbreak. For instance, it is not addressed to or even about a lady per se. Rather the addressee is a “young man” whom the older and wiser Tomlinson is comforting. This individual is a fresh victim of having his heart broken, being totally and completely in his feelings. And basically, what the singer is telling him is that this emotion he is experiencing, as painful as it is, is nothing new, nor is it rare. In fact there are countless people going through the same. And such is the concept upon which the titular metaphor is based, i.e. the addressee not being alone in his sorrow but rather a “copy of a copy of a copy”.
