Niall Horan<\/a><\/strong> has an important reminder.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the “Nice To Meet Ya” singer<\/a> joined Jimmy Fallon<\/a><\/strong> for an at-home version of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em><\/a> and performed his new song “Dear Patience” from his new album Heartbreak Weather<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When it came to selecting which song to sing, Niall said that he felt this particular track felt “very relevant” following recent events and carried an inspiring message.  <\/p>\n

“I just thought\u2014it’s an album track, but I thought it was really relevant right now because I wrote it at a time when I needed to be patient,” he said. “And if anyone needs to patient right now, it’s all of us. This song is basically me writing a letter to the feeling of patience, like, \u2018C’mon, dude. Let’s go for a drink. We haven’t spoke in a while.’ So, I feel like we can all\u2014it’s very relevant right now. So, we can all pay attention to that.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Sitting in his living room at his piano, the One Direction alum<\/a> grabbed his guitar and began his acoustic performance of the pertinent track. <\/p>\n

“Dear patience,” he sang. “If I pour my heart out, can you keep a promise? \/ ‘Cause the situation \/ Is like a mountain that’s been weighing on my conscious \/ If I’m being honest.”<\/p>\n

Like many musicians, Niall has been staying connected via social media<\/a> and even treated them to a mini listening party of his album during an Instagram Live. While sitting down with The Capital Breakfast Show<\/em><\/a> last week, he reflected on the impact his livestreams have on fans and encouraged other artists to join in.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I think everyone’s just, like, using it as a time to kind of help with the craziness that’s going on,” Niall explained. “We know a lot of people are sitting at home so, we can just go on our Instagrams or whatever, and shed a little light because music is very good for that.”<\/p>\n

He added, “It’s the only really powerful healer. And if we can do that and it’s just at the end of our phones, then I encourage all of us to get involved.”<\/p>\n
