#Watermelon Sugar lyrics

[twopoppies]

Idk if anyone has picked up on this but when harry sing sledgehammer he subtly changed ‘fruit cage’ (vagina) to ‘fruit cakes’ (ass) to make the song gay and about eating ass not pussy

Someone must have realized, but i never saw anyone talking about it. TBH, I completely forgot the original lyrics were fruit cage. givcjfxux

This song is ridiculously sexual and that subtle change just shows how aware of that he is (which is not surprising). Harry must have been so disappointed in us. 😆

So… I guess it’s also another bit of proof that watermelon sugar is about eating ass.

Watermelon Sugar Analysis

It's the month of June, and her peak season, perfectly ripe for exquisite tasting and ecstasy. Naturally, this song gets residency in my mind once the sun radiates warmth back down to the earth and all colors grow in saturation. Sadly though, this song remains vastly underappreciated, though one of his most popular. Ain't that just a crying shame? Because Watermelon Sugar is sharing fruit-laced kisses with a lover, breathing in each other's lips, a silent communication that neither wants to be the one to leave first. Lips went suckling strawberry red, and all one could hear is song. Thoughts spinning like sweet, sweet sugar. Tasty imagery leans into double entendres in this song of visceral want.

Here's a deep dive into Harry Styles' Watermelon Sugar, from a poet. And, no, it's not about the fruit. (And, I beg of you, block Urban Dictionary from your consciousness before it wrecks indisputable and irreversible damage).

Richard Brautigan

The song title is undoubtedly pulled from Richard Brautigan's In Watermelon Sugar, a surrealist science fiction book put out to print in June of 1968. 60's influences are a reoccurrence in the sophomore album. End of June, too, btw. Throughout this book, there's this concept of ego death, a psychedelic experience where one achieves a sense of selflessness and oneness with the universe. The main character in Brautigan's story resides in the iDeath (ego death) commune where they farm watermelons — watermelons that vary based on the color of the sun that day of the week.

"We have an interesting thing with the sun here. It shines a different color every day. No one knows why this is, not even Charley. We grow the watermelons in different colors the best we can. [...] It is really very simple. The colors of the days and the watermelons go like this — Monday: red watermelons. Tuesday: golden watermelons. Wednesday: gray watermelons. Thursday: black, soundless watermelons. Friday: white watermelons. Saturday: blue watermelons. Sunday: brown watermelons."

How intriguing, yes? Brautigan's good at capturing the surreal, something I've noticed in my own deep dive of his works. But I digress. The term in watermelon sugar is used repeatedly within the story, but all seem to circle back to the representation of the ephemeral nature of pleasure. And, told with the repetition found in varying contexts, this pleasure can be discovered in many things once you achieve harmony alluded within ego death.

"Watermelon sugar is not just a flavor, it's a way of life."

Now, I feel you. I can sense it. You're staring back at me right through these textboxes, wondering where the hell I must be going with all of this surrealistic philosophical chitter chatter, wondering if you got tricked into a book report. I'm getting somewhere, I promise you.

My theory is that Harry pulled this association between watermelon sugar and pleasure from Brautigan, and utilized it in order to describe his own experiences with captivating sensuality and desire. But also the pleasure of losing one's self to love, which ties back to the phenomenon of ego death, but also fits right within the narrative arc of his sophomore album thematically. Much of Fine Line explores the interwoven nature of love, sense of self, and the stages of grief. In songs like Cherry, he explores the detriment to losing your sense of self in sacrifice to love. But, in Watermelon Sugar, he explores the pleasure of losing your sense of self in sacrifice to love, or rather lust and sensuality. There's this all-consuming nature wading under every song of the album, and this sensory-rich song is no exception.

There's no sense trying to dismiss the erotic connotation the song has, as it's hard to ignore. But, with the addition of Brautigan, we flesh it out in nuance. To understand that in Watermelon Sugar, all boundaries have dissolved as everything melts into the other like sugar melts on the tongue with ripe watermelon juice. The boundaries between himself and his lover and the universe have combined. The boundaries between what a strawberry is and what sex is. So on and so forth. Creating an enthralling experience in surrealism that goes beyond just a simple euphemism for sex.

"In watermelon sugar, the past and the present merged into a single, timeless moment."

To conclude the Brautigan discussion, I'll pull some favorite quotes from the novel, ones I've annotated frantically myself, that apply to the song. Just so it's solidified in your mind before the lyric pull apart.

"In watermelon sugar" is emphasized as a metaphor that can transcend, merging past and present to an eternal instant, any sense of separation lost. In this idyllic and psychedelic post-apocalyptic world Brautigan painted, all exist in a perpetual tapestry of harmony and interconnectedness, and lines get blurred. Between feelings, between experiences, and between the division of time itself.

"She was a watermelon sugar girl, pure and sweet, like the taste of summer."

This description of one of the characters, interwoven with the known metaphor, exudes charm like the exciting taste of summer, one that evokes memories of warmth and succulence. Much like the song does, if I might interject. The character invigorates those around her with radiance, much like a fresh watermelon on a warm sunny day satisfying all the senses at once. One sentence paints an indelible impression, and I find this parallels.

"She tasted like watermelon sugar, sweet and addictive, leaving me longing for more."

I just wanna taste it. One of my weaknesses is when writers draw on sensory imagery to depict something alluring, and right now we're in the thick of it. The comparison drawn between the woman and the established watermelon sugar metaphor for pleasure pushes forward the idea of bewitching attraction and oh-so-mesmerizing sweetness. And the notion of addiction pushes it even further, as one encounter leaves the protagonist yearning for more, eternizing a desire that will be difficult to thoroughly satiate — delving into the complexities lying in the natural human desire for pleasure.

Lyric Pull Apart

[VERSE 1] Tastes like strawberries on a summer evening And it sounds just like a song

Tastes like strawberries on a summer evening: Hey, tell me, have you admired a strawberry today? I mean it. They are some of the prettiest fruits nature could've graced us with. Red and naturally heart-shaped, creating the perfect symbol for passion and love. And, a strawberry itself is succulent and soft and juicy when biting into it, an irresistible indulgent treat to yourself. God, I could go for a strawberry from my garden right now. It all aids to the connotations of sensuality. Sweet yet tangy, alluring and intoxicating.

Therefore, to say that someone or something or somewhere — maybe a grand combination of all — tastes like strawberries comes off the highest compliment. Add in the summer evening, and the narrowing down to June to come, and we find ourselves investigating June-bearing strawberries. Yes, they're a thing indeed.

As the name implies, these strawberry plants bear fruit and are harvested in June, with a very short growth period — setting their buds when days are short, and fruit bears when days warm and lengthen. They produce a larger harvest than other variations of the strawberry plant, and the berries are intensely flavorful.

I don't know. Just find it a bit interesting, you know. That the strawberries bore in June (even with harvests centered around the end of June) are the most flavorful and decadent. Which, you know, feels kinda reminiscent of the decadence of watermelon sugar. What can I say? I love playing around with things.

And it sounds just like a song: Whenever he speaks of music within a piece of his own music, I assume he's referring to his own song. Yeah? It sounds just like which song? Well, honey, this one's got to be high in the contenders. And with the music's brass-infused spirit, it definitely captures this sense of joy and pleasure. The music that he's hearing in the back of his mind, even.

[VERSE 1] I want more berries and that summer feelin' It's so wonderful and warm

I want more berries and that summer feelin': Continuing on from my personification of the strawberry, he admits his craving for more. There's a desire to hold onto this feeling, this euphoria, experienced with a singular taste. He wants more passion, more succulence, more abundance. And this sets the table for the progression into the second verse to come.

It's so wonderful and warm: In this line, and in the first verse itself, we have this intention framing of summer radiance, with summer as an ultimate metaphor. A metaphor for infatuation and beauty, but also a time of prosperity and jubilance. To Harry, I believe, summer's synonymous with a feeling of abundance, and his feeling toward the song's subject mirrors that. The listener is set in the mindset of abundant affection and what almost seems like a prayer to the subject, a praise to them for how euphoric he's feeling. How they make him feel like he's always in a warm summer with a full basket of harvested fruits to quench his thirst and cravings, no matter how broad that need for satiation extends.

[PRE-CHORUS] Breathe me in, breathe me out I don't know if I could ever go without

Breathe me in, breathe me out: The first association that popped into my head was meditation, something Harry has been vocal about before, so I guess it's not that far of a stretch. Plus, meditation ties to mindfulness, and mindfulness ties to savoring the present moment — therefore, he wants to truly savor the feeling of his succulence right now.

But, yes, of course! there's also the more sensual option, I could never forget. I think of an intimate moment between two, barely any distance between them, and as they inhale and exhale, it's like taking each other in. It's like another way to frame intimacy, and I find that to melt me like a chocolate bar in summer. Maybe to dip those June-bearing strawberries in. Anyway!

I don't know if I could ever go without: A big theme in this song is desire, now with an added admittance of not knowing if he could go on without. An addiction motif, a motif that can also be seen as a loss of sense of self, which ties back into the ego death concept. He doesn't know if he can experience the unpleasant withdrawal from this addictive summer feeling — he doesn't want to go without it, for he knows he'll be even more desperate to get it back.

Once again, we’re met with desire, with an added admittance of not knowing if he could go on without. He doesn’t know if he can experience withdrawal from this addictive summer feeling – he doesn’t want to go without it, for he knows he’ll be even more desperate to get it back. Surpassing the desperate desire laid out in the moment. 

[PRE-CHORUS] I'm just thinking out loud I don't know if I could ever go without

I don't know how to quite explain this thing that's done within Harry's lyricism, but I've got this fascination with it. It makes his songs more conversational, the use of words like just. How he admits straight in the song that he's thinking about the subject or writing about the subject. Like, baby, we know! And we love you for it!

Then, the last line of the pre-chorus is a line repeated, one that shows the addictive nature of this watermelon sugar phenomenon. And, one thing about me, I will assume that repetition is intentional, and push that repetition is a device utilized, not a weak point. This loss of self, melting away into the other, fuels the hunger felt due to desire and sensuality that lingers in all lyrics of the song.

[CHORUS] Watermelon sugar high! (x4) Watermelon sugar!

For the chorus, we pull back in the Brautigan context — watermelon sugar is synonymous with pleasure, and that meaning carries over to the extended variation of watermelon sugar high as well. Each reiteration of this chorus relishes in a burst of euphoria and joy, and, though the repetition is often criticized, I believe it to be used to an advantage. It only emphasizes this overwhelming feeling. Nothing else can enter his mind outside of this summer feeling — and, nothing else matters in this idyllic vision created. If anything, the repetition of the same phrase aids in the song's experience.

And, do you know what the other complementary choice is to this song? One that I feel isn't talked about enough? The instrumentals — but, specifically, the horns, which can be heard in the choruses and prominently at the end. A bursting of horns. An explosion of euphoria and joy. The horns used this way are an important seed to plant, because they're used with the same symbolism later in the sophomore album. (Spoiler alert: It's in the final track.)

[VERSE 2] Strawberries on a summer evenin' Baby, you're the end of June

Ah, our beautiful strawberries reappear, paired with the summer metaphor still, and back to the June-bearing strawberries coming to mind. Most popular, harvested at the end of June and a favorite because of the intense flavor profile during this sweet spot of a month. Anyway, the end of June (in the Northern Hemisphere) marks the middle of summer, calming and soothing with the sun shining for the day's majority. And he feels the song's subject has a comparable effect on him.

As he sings Baby, you're the end of June, I take it as a moment of excitement — in detail, the type felt at initial infatuation and attraction, building a companionship at the early level. Maybe daydreaming, peeking into the future where one can only see bright smiles and warm hugs. A honeymoon phase, you could say, like a perfect summer's day.

[VERSE 2] I want your belly and that summer feelin' Getting washed away in you

I want your belly and that summer feelin': One of the most attractive things you can say to a person is I want you, for it's simple, direct, and undeniably effective. But this song gives a bit of a spin on this, phrasing it as I want your belly. I want the most intimate, the most vulnerable, the softest parts of you — and I want to taste them, I want to devour them. And, this second verse, alongside pretty much everything in this song, lands on the ears so easily — and direct, and confident. He's not questioning his desire, he's unapologetic for his hunger for the subject of his desire (and, whew, that's kinda hot).

Getting washed away in you: Could you have guessed? Here's come Brautigan again. Ego death. Losing your sense of self to love, sensuality, and desire. All the boundaries dissolved like sugar on the tongue, whether it's boundaries heard and seen in his words, or boundaries between him and the person doused in all his affection. He's losing himself to his desire, as he'll always go all in or nothing. Harry, the fool in love.

[REPETITION OF PRE-CHORUS AND CHORUS]

[BRIDGE] Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin' And it sounds just like a song I want your belly and that summer feelin' I don't know if I could ever go without

The bridge is a perfect mix of the two verses that precede it, which creates an exquisite flow. The first two lines pull from the first, the third line from the second, and the last line pulls from the pre-chorus. I really love it when songs do this, as it feels cohesive to the ear. Plus, it puts further emphasis on this euphoric feeling, as we encounter the device of repetition again. Again, repetition is not a weakness, but rather a strength when utilized correctly, and I get so tired seeing people not quite grasp that concept.

In this song, we are witnesses to an explosion of euphoria, of pleasure, of washing yourself (losing yourself) away in another, of not being able to survive without the sweetness of quote-en-quote watermelon sugar. The use of repetition only aids in this and helps illustrate the consuming nature of it all on a grander scale. As if nothing else can infiltrate the mind, for all senses and all emotions are completely submerged.

[OUTRO] I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it Watermelon sugar high! I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it Watermelon sugar high! Watermelon sugar!

My goodness, here's some repetition again — a repetition of repetition, if you will. More all-consuming ecstasy and desire. The addictive nature of this watermelon sugar high, in these exclamations. Begging for a taste, eternizing a desire that will never be truly satiate, just one of the complexities in the natural human ache for pleasure.

In conclusion, Watermelon Sugar is a song riddled with joy, painting a summery picture of the euphoric pleasure-filled feeling experienced when meeting someone you're very keen on. Someone who excites you. And I think that's why this song has grabbed many people's hearts — for it's an experience that one has either been in the midst of or one that creates an aching to be consumed by. And, it definitely deserved to be his first Grammy win. I sincerely hope people stop doing this song a disservice. Writing off a song as bad just because it's gotten traction, because it got popular, is a disrespect to the artist. For this song is way more than just an elaborate euphemism for sex — though yes, the erotic connotations are hard to ignore — and the added nuance flies under the radar.

But, baby, that's why I'm here, calling out to you, trying to get you to see the fleshed-out ecstasy of a Watermelon Sugar High. Now, go hit play on that song of the summer. And cut yourself some fresh watermelon and strawberries to balance on your tongue. 🍉🍓

My interpretation of "Meet me in the Hallway" by Harry Styles (maybe it doesn't make any sense but whatever, yolo), so:

"Meet me in the hallway" stands here as a metaphor for "meeting in the middle", so when he sings "I'll be at your door" he takes a step towards the person, he knocks at the door and hopes that the person on the other side will let him in or that the person will come into the hallway. That way you can meet, agree, talk, clarify something or whatever... But when he sings "I'll be at your door" it already seems like he cares more about the other person than them about him

[goongiveusnothing]

HarrySpeakUp is trending with 8k tweets. Him and Pleasing are getting bashed. The leak, on the other hand, is barely mentioned.

Do you think it’s because it sucks and the lyrics are ick or are the cult members starting to wake up? There was a tweet from a ua threatening to release 2 or 3 more unheard songs…but the reaction is practically crickets compared to the frenzy it would have created before.

I think he’s gonna need to do something more attention getting to shake off the damage to his image caused by the haircut and him being a wimp who hides behind his mommy.

Since he always uses other people as shields, I would not be surprised if there was an announcement or a red carpet event asap to announce him and Taylor officially. I also see a possibility of a very public move-in, an engagement if he can’t get back to his previous level of fame, maybe even baby rumors. Explicit nudes or sex tape are on the table too. Long shot bet is he owns up to being bald and becoming a spokesperson for hair loss or maybe Pleasing hair growth vitamins.

good to see most of what i saw there was actually sane, and were people calling him what he was. of course you get the insane stans who think a celebrity's "career" is more important than speaking up for genocide, which you'd expect from a fandom of harries whose collective brain cell operates around him being fantasy gay and riding into action to cry about the idea anyone bullied him over his haircuts

Watermelon Sugar

Our Story Masterlist Summary: How Watermelon Sugar was made.

warning: smut, oral (female receiving), swearing

Very highly requested.

“So Styles…what are we working on today? Do you want to keep working on Treat People?”. Kid asked as he span around on his chair to face everyone, readjusting his hat as he did.

Harry gently licked his bottom lip as he thought about his options. “I’ve kinda got these lyrics that I can’t stop humming…I wanna work on them…see if they go anywhere, but if anyone feels uncomfortable then just say and we’ll scrap the whole thing!”.

“Shit it’s getting fucking deep in here today!”. Tyler joked, earning a snigger from Kid and a small grin from Mitch.

“What are you talking about man, every song is fucking deep”. Kid couldn’t bite his tongue. Harry only flipped him off with a sarcastic smile.

This is what Harry liked about the team, they could joke around, not taking anything to serious. But at the same time, they’d all shared many of the deepest conversations.

“Have you got like a melody or anything H?”. Mitch quietly asked as he prepared to play.

Harry shook his head as he pulled his lips into his mouth. “Nah just go with it and see what happens”.

“Tastes like strawberries…on a summer evenin'…and it sounds just like a song”. Harry acoustically sang, trying to find the right notes and melody.

“What’s with you and fruit, man?”. Mitch asked the question everyone was dying to know. “Plus what the fuck sounds like a song?”.

Harry ran his finger under his nose, a nervous habit he had. “Nothing…it’s nothing…just open for interpretation”.

---

Anne didn’t need an excuse to host a summer garden party, so the moment the sun came out she invited all her close family and friends over for food, drinks and a good time.

Harry and YN had been finding it difficult to leave each others sides, whether that was Harry’s arm reaching around her waist to sit on her hip, an arm over her shoulder or sharing a quick peck when they thought nobody was looking.

So when YN was in the kitchen, reaching across the spectacular spread Anne had put on to place a few strawberries on her plate, she felt two hands slide around her middle and a face nuzzle into her neck.

“I’ve missed you”. Harry placed small kisses up her neck, YN trying not to let her body respond as she took a bite of a strawberry, placing the green on the plate.

“I haven’t been anywhere”. YN giggled as she swallowed the fruit, placing the plate down so she could turn in his arms.

As she wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers gently played with his loose curls. Harry met her lips with his, the sweet taste of strawberry lingered between them.

“Let’s go upstairs”. Harry mumbled against her lips, that were now a darker shade of red.

“Bubs we’re in your mums…there’s a party going on”. YN pointed out as Harry’s lips nibbled down her neck, teasing and distracting her from her thoughts.

Harry only shrugged his shoulders in response. “When has that ever stopped us?”. YN knew he had a point, but she was still reluctant, glancing around to see if anyone would see them wonder off. “Please baby”.

“But I want more berries”. YN wined as she glanced back at her plate, sitting there full of fresh strawberries.

“Well I want you!”. Harry gently pulled her by the neck to place a lingering kiss to her swollen red lips.

---

”All I’m getting so far is you’ve eaten strawberries on a summer evening and it sounds like a song!”. Mitch was literal with his interpretation, looking at Harry like he’d gone crazy.

“Mitch just listen to the fucking lyrics man…we’re only like three lines in and I already know what it’s about.” Tyler laughed at how naive his friend was being right now.

Whilst Kid and Tyler fiddled about with some ideas for mixing and editing ‘Golden’, Mitch tested out a few chords to see what would fit with the current song Harry was writing.

Harry was noticing some lyrics down in his leather book, when Mitch played a particular melody that caught his ears. He listened carefully trying to find the right timing.

“I want more berries…And that summer feelin'…It's so wonderful and warm”. Harry sung, catching the other’s attention, all invested in where he was going with it. “Breathe me in…Breathe me out…i don't know if I could ever go without..”.

Harry paused as he processed where this song was going. But glancing around the room, he spotted a book on the table. Giggling to himself, he couldn’t stop his hands from reaching for it. “I don't know if I could ever go without…Watermelon sugar…High!”.

“Sounds like you’ve just named your next song”.

---

Once their hidden by the four walls in Harry’s room, he quickly reaches for YN’s waist, leaving traces of his fingers behind. Pulling her closer to him as their lips become ones and their fronts meet.

The warmth from their bodies being so close has caused them both to feel hot. Their movements feel quick and fast, but slow and soft all at the same time.

As Harry walks them blindly over to the bed, YN’s hands become greedy and pulls his T-shirt off and leaves it drop to the floor. Taking YN’s route, Harry’s ring clad fingers, find their way to the front of YN’s skirt unbuttoning it as their lips stay together like magnets.

Once her skirt and underwear are pooled on the floor, keeping Harry’s tahirt company, YN finds herself lying with her back on the duvet covered bed. Instead of joining her, YN feels his lips attach themselves to her inner thigh. Her mind becomes dizzy as she feels his wet lips trailing further up.

“Harry!”. Her lips moan, wanting to feel more as her lower stomach began to tighter already. His lips are now needier, moving higher and closer. In a quick movement, Harry grabs a pillow from the bed and places it under her hips.

Leaning forward Harry’s tongue meets her, licking up and down with a slow teasing start. His hands move her thighs so her bare legs are resting over his shoulders. Another moan leaves YN’s lips as she feels his mouth move against her.

“Oh, fook!”.

Her moaning only encourages his movements, as well as feeds his ego. Whilst his tongue teases her, swirling around as he tastes the wetness as it drips down his chin, he moves his left hand to rest on her lower stomach, pushing down gently.

“Fookin’ ‘ell, that’s good!”.

Harry could feel YN’s hips start to buck against him, so he gently held her hips down so the sensations hit harder. The sound of her heavy pants outplayed the sound of Harry’s tongue hitting the wetness between her legs.

Knowing YN was close as she muttered out small encouragements, Harry moved his tongue faster against her, lapping up the sweet taste. The addicted sensation began to build and the heat travelled down YN’s body. Her head swung back on the sheet behind her as the pressure built.

It hit her with force, causing her to feel light headed and unable to think of anything but the climax, when her thighs clenched around his head, Harry had no choice than to keep up his movements as he rode her through her high.

“Oh Harry, oh yes!”.

The sound was like heaven to Harry’s ears as he felt her vibrate against him. Watching her orgasm was still something he could never get bored of.

The energy had been wiped away from YN as she now laid still on the bed, unable to move due to the shakiness. Harry lifted himself up from his position between her legs, wiping away the wetness left behind on his chin.

Harry moved further up the bed with his knees, hoovering over YN’s tired body. He leaned forward pressing a quick kiss to her lips.

“Worth missing out on eating your strawberries?”. Harry sarcastically asked, as he held himself up with his arms.

---

As they continued to work on the song, now known as ‘Watermelon Sugar’, the penny dropped for Mitch as Harry sang, trying to perfect the melody and pre-chorus.

“Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin'…And it sounds just like a song…I want your belly and that summer feelin'…I don't know if I could ever go without”.

Mitch’s eyes went wide at the realisation. “Shit…fucking hell man…you’re singing about eating-”.

Before Mitch could finish his sentence, Harry cut him short. A large cheeky smirk covering his face as he did so.

“It’s a song about wanting to eat strawberries!”.

Who is the Lighthouse Keeper

I’m not trying to convince anyone LK is Harry. But if you want to know why I think he is, here are five quick examples why:

Harry's House leaked April 20, 2022 (a month before its official release date). However, LK tweeted this obvious reference to Watermelon Sugar on April 3. (Just an interesting aside: on the same day, he also said he's in self-imposed "exile." Honestly, around this time I just get the vibe of someone writing and reading a ton of poetry while being high as hell, nostalgic and pining).

LK tweeted these Shania Twain lyrics several days before HS performed with her (April 15, 2022) at Coachella—which was a surprise performance. 

There was a blind submitted May 6 that HS was seen making out with someone that was not OW on night of May 4. See LK's string of tweets the following morning between around 8 and noon PST, May 5, pre blind.

Obvi, we all love Grease and Olivia Newton-John, and we’re saddened at her passing; but is it more than coincidence that Harry then went on to sing this exact song during Harryween Nov. 1, 2022?

The below was posted at 8:21 p.m. EST, so the night before Midnights was announced at VMAs. Harry was in NYC, playing MSG and wore a blue star outfit that matched Taylor’s VMA after party outfit.

[twopoppies]

Yesterday something very random happened to me Gina, I was at the University and between classes a friend and I went to the cafeteria, outside of it was the basketball group training and they had music, at one point they put on Watermelon Sugar and I started to enjoy it as always, I'm 22 years old and my friend is 35, she knows about my love for them and I've told her one thing or another about Larry when she asks me, (I mention the age because she doesn't have the same taste in music as me but she had to see 1D from the outside, she doesn't know the context of many things) and just when I tell her "what a GOOD song is" she asks me "what is that song about?" first I laughed and told her what she thought and with all certainty she says "it's about gay oral, right? the lyrics are very obvious" It was so gratifying to know that there are still intelligent people with their own criteria in the world hahahaha I even asked her if she had seen the video and she said yes but that for her it was quite obvious why they had chosen to make the video with many women if the song itself was very homosexual.

LOLLL! If only everyone used their brains so well.

Songs that make me think of each Heartsteel member [and Alune] (with minimal explanation).

Inspiration: One of the things I do to inspire myself while writing is listen to music. I’ve always been musical (piano, viola, and singing) and music can really set my mood/make me think of a scenario. Occasionally when I’m just listening to music in my car, a song pops up and I’m like…"Oh that makes me think of (enter character here)!"

Genre: ?? I have absolutely no clue how to classify this?? Mood music??? Headcanon inspiration??

Category: I guess fluff, but some of these songs are indirectly or directly suggestive/explicit so 😬. But nothing explicit actually in this post.

Tw: None for this post besides swearing, but again some of these songs are directly or indirectly suggestive/explicit so listen at your own discretion. 🤷🏼‍♀️

(Each person gets at least 2 songs. Sett and Kayn get three because it's my post that's why. 😂)

Aphelios:

“Thnks fr th Mmrs” - Fall Out Boy (Lmao if you think I wouldn’t have some emo/alt for Phel on this list, you’re sorely mistaken.)

“Levitating” - Dua Lipa (“I got you, moonlight, you’re my, starlight…”💃)

Ezreal:

“Hey Mama!” - EXO-CBX (Did you really think I wouldn’t have Baekhyun for Ez in some way? Yeah fucking right! I associate him with my fav EXO sub-unit song.)

“Hyperfixations” - Catie Turner (I actually had this for Aphelios initially but then I realized it fit Ez WAY BETTER. I LOVE THIS SONG.)

Kayn:

“Met Him Last Night” - Demi Lovato (Feat. Ariana Grande) (All I have to say is listen to the lyrics, especially the first verse through the chorus, and tell me it’s not a fucking POV of meeting Kayn.)

“Gives You Hell” - The All-American Rejects (This is absolutely Kayn’s response to his old band.)

“S&M” - Rihanna (😏 Makes sense with one of my prior ranking/headcanons.)

(I have so many alternate options for Kayn omfg. I really struggled limiting it to only one more for him since I’m not doing that for most others. What does this say about me and my taste in music? 😂)

K’Sante:

“Physical” - Dual Lipa (Thought of our gym bro duo and then the lyrics made me think of K’Sante!)

“I’m Not Sorry” DEAN, Eric Bellinger (The confidence in the lyrics and then energy/vibe of the song just SCREAMED K’Sante to me!)

Sett:

“Confident (Rock Version)” - Demi Lovato (“…I’m the boss right now…” Damn straight Sett is the boss.)

“Watermelon Sugar” - Harry Styles (Again, makes sense with one of my previous rankings/headcanons.😏)

“34 + 35” - Ariana Grande (🫣 LISTEN I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. 😅).

Yone:

“Black Swan” - BTS (What the lyrics talk about fit really well with Yone’s known backstory before Heartsteel.)

“Home” - Catie Turner (I just think it fits secretly soft and romantic Yone very well!)

EXTRA - Alune (because we love her and she’s a baddie):

“God is a Woman” - Ariana Grande (She sure is, especially when she has to be the manager of Heartsteel and deal with these six. 😂)

“%% (Eung Eung)” - Apink (the vibe of the song fits her well and I like the lyrics with Alune’s vibe too.)

Thanks for reading/vibing. I feel like I might have to do more of these. Maybe make it a series as I realize it's happening with more songs! Music is my biggest inspiration when I write.

Sunflower Vol 6

Sunflower is a sweet romantic song. It references HYGTG and Clean, reminding of her how it used to be to suggest dating again.

My Vol 1 - 5 theory

My theory on Vol 1 - 5 are times they dated or hung out. I have playlist grouped into possible volumes. There is more in the dates and timelines.

31 March 2012, 20 May 2012 - July 2012 (Everything has changed - IKYWT)

28 September 2012 - 3 January 2013 (HYGTG - NTWDT.)

25 August 2013 - November 2013 (Happily - Wonderland)

14 February 2014 - February 2015 (Style - FTDT)

February/29 April 2016 - May 2016 (High infidelity - IDWLF)

To me, Sunflower is contemplating a Vol. 6 (Fine Line/Lover). Sunflower hasn't been played since Live on Tour ended in 2021.

Lyrics

Sunflower Sunflower My eyes, want you more than a melody Let me inside Wish I could get to know you

I wanna get to know you is a reference to the Everything has changed "I just wanna know you better" which Taylor and Ed wrote the week after 20 May 2012.

Love 'I want you more than a melody' which reminds me of HYGTG “say you want me”

Sunflowers Sometimes Keep it sweet in your memory I was just tongue-tied

Wildest Dreams: "Say you’ll remember me standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe" and OOTW "I Remember.."

Harry describes Taylor as sunshine and butterflies and all things summer in many songs:

Olivia “You live in my imagination / The summertime, butterflies”

Watermelon Sugar: “summer evening”, “summer feeling”, “end of June”

Adore You: “your wonder under summer sky”

Canyon Moon: “sky never looked so blue”

They are tongue-tied in:

Two Ghosts "Tongue-tied like we've never known"

Sushi "Blue bubblegum twisted 'round your tongue"

Message in a Bottle "And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes, tongue-tied"

I don't wanna make you feel bad But I've been trying hard not to talk to you Sunflower (Sunflower, sunflower)

Taylors Gorgeous has a similar line “You should take it as a compliment / That I'm talking to everyone here but you (but you, but you)”

I couldn't want you any more Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor I couldn't want you any more tonight (Tonight, tonight, tonight)

Lover (feat. Shawn Mendes): "We could light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen, baby"

Wondering headshake Tired eyes are the death of me Mouthful of toothpaste Before I got to know you

Harry brushes his teeth before performing. He met Taylor backstage at the kids choice awards, I take wondering headshake to mean acknowledging each other when they first saw each other.

I've got your face Hung up high in the gallery I love this shade (Sunflower, sunflower)

To me the picture line is not a literal gallery, but a symbol that this person is his person. I think this song and line a response to HYGTG "Remind her how it used to be, be / Yeah, with pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks, cheeks" and You are in Love and has "he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown"

Your flowers just died Plant new seeds in the melody Let me inside, I wanna get to know you

Plant new seeds in the melody is the nicest line. It is a reference to:

Clean "The drought was the very worst / When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst".

Call it what you want: "All my flowers grew back as thorns / Windows boarded up after the storm" (more thorns and roses)

Chronologically then Harry says to plant new seeds and try again.

I don't wanna make you feel bad But I've been trying hard not to act a fool Sunflower (Sunflower, sunflower)

Harry has called himself a fool many times, here he is trying to be nonchalant and cool but before he's been all kinds of fool:

I just wanna love you "We can whisper, we can talk about these things / Reconsider my foolish ramblings"

Just a little bit of your heart "I know I'm not your only / But I'll still be a fool / 'Cause I'm a fool for you"

Fools gold "But I'm not done yet / Falling for you / Fool's gold"

Boyfriends "You love a fool who knows just how to get under your skin / You, you, you still open the door" and "You feel a fool / You're back at it again"

In the Long Pond Sessions Taylor later emphasised how James had been foolish, saying fool/foolish 7 times.

Anon being a Harrie and not knowing much about music is not a big surprise. Harries as fans are not really known as connoisseurs of music. Their primary source of music consumption is tiktok. So let me take the opportunity to educate them about Kendrick. He won a Pulitzer for “Damn” trust me he isn’t singing “watermelon sugar high” 15 times in a row like a nursery rhyme for the toddlers. His latest diss track which he just randomly dropped in a day “not like us” reached billboard top 100 organically not because radio stations were pounding it or Spotify put it in all the playlists. Kendrick slander is unjustifiable, his albums are meant to be listened front to back, his lyrics have gravitas, he is not singing hash brown pancakes for two. That man is a poet don’t you dare compare him to Harry Styles quacking through his songs.
