C I N E M A Lyric Blurbs

So this really isn’t a one shot, it’s more or less taking the song lyrics of Cinema and turning them into little scenarios/blurbs if that makes sense.

Contains a mix of fluff and smut.

∘₊✧── 𝑒𝓃𝒿𝑜𝓎 ──✧₊∘

“It's you. And I'm not gettin' over it.”

After confessing your love for each other, Harry tucks a strand of hair behind your ear and looks into your eyes, “It’s you.” He whispers before leaning in to kiss you, “it’s always been you, and I’m never getting’ over it.”

“I guess we're in time. If you're getting yourself wet for me.”

You’re laying in bed, waiting for Harry to get home. You miss him, so you slide your hand between your legs, touching yourself to the thought of him. “I guess I’m in time.” Harry’s voice makes you jump and you look over, shyness taking over your body. He walks over and crawls on the bed, his body floating above yours, “if you’re getting yourself wet for me, I’ll let you continue.” He pulls the blanket back and watches at you continue to touch yourself, eventually helping you finish.

“I guess you're all mine. You're sleeping in this bed with me.”

You go to get up after having sex with Harry and he quickly grabs you and brings you back down, “Where are you going?” You look up at him, “I thought I-“ he shakes his head, “You’re sleeping in this bed with me.” He leans in and kisses you, “You’re all mine now, darlin’” You smile and lay a hand on his cheek as you kiss him, tangling your body with his as you float off to sleep.

“Tell me what you want and you got it, love. I want all of you, gimme all you got”

You stand there, looking at the sunglasses. You tilt your head, eyeing a pair that you’ve been debating on picking up to buy. “Find anything you like?” Harry asks wrapping an arm around your shoulder. You purse your lips, “Mm, these but I don’t know.” You shake your head and Harry picks them up and places them on your face gently, “Oh yeah, you’re getting these.” He takes them off and starts to walk to check out. “Harry, you don’t have-“ he turns and looks at you, “You just tell me what you want, and you got it. I just want you. All of you. Gimme all you got.” He kisses your face and you giggle, “I love you.”

“It's you. Don't know why, but it feels so right to me. Something in the way you move. I like it when you dance for me.”

Harry’s hands grip your waist, pulling your hips back. Your grind harder against his crotch, feeling his bulge grow harder. He lets out a groan, “It’s you.” You look over your shoulder and smirk at him. He bites his lip and shakes his head, “Don’t know why but it feels so right to me.” You turn around and straddle him, your hips still move to the beat of the song that he put on for you to strip tease him to, “Is it something in the way I move?” You lean down and kiss up his neck, “Do you like it when I dance for you?” He nods, “Fuck, yeah. I do.” You lean back and tilt your head, “Our friends would kill us if they knew we were together right now. That’s why it feels so right, because it’s so wrong.” You smirk and connect your lips with his.

“No roof on the drive. Dust off the high. And go to sleep.”

You and Harry take a drive in his convertible. The top is down, the sun is setting. It’s perfect. “Want to watch the sun set?” Harry asks as he taps your knee with his finger, “I know the perfect spot.” You smile at him and nod, “Please.” He takes you to the spot and parks the car. You move over, resting your head on his shoulder as you watch the beautiful sun set on everything. “This is perfect, no roof on the drive, we can go home.. dust off the highs..” he kisses the side of your head and let’s out a content sigh, “And go to sleep.”

Sorry if these sucked, these were just some quick blurbs I thought as I was writing.

If you did like them, and want to see other songs done like this, let me know!

Cinema

Cinema is playful, the primary metaphor of Cinema is about a performance, seeing something is an act and wanting them, but also feeling insecure that the person doesn't feel the same. When Howard Stern asked about Cinema Harry said is about himself. He specifically didn't confirm the wide speculation that because he dated someone in film it was about them, which the question led to. I also think that metaphor would be a bit on the nose for Harry, who has also appeared in many films:

I think most of the time when I write songs, they kind of start out as my own. It’s less about taking it to someone and more about capturing what I’m going through at the time. Turning life into art is about being true to those moments.

He also said to Zane Lowe:

Cinema's about like, I think I just want to make something that felt really fun, honestly. And I mean, I have the kind of note of writing it. It was very, I was like on a treadmill. And it's very just like me kind of going, do, do, do, do, do. Do-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-do-boo, you know? And it felt like a very fun one for me, because I used to tend to do so much writing in the studio, and it was very much like, I did this bit here, and had like the melody, and then I went home and added a little bit, and then kind of left it, and then added a little bit more, and kind of left it, and then went into the studio and kind of put it together.

Harry told us it took a long time over many sessions.

When was it written / who worked on it

That is not known when it was written, but the production notes have a hint. This is a rabbit hole of why I think (aspects of) Cinema is from the Fine Line sessions, feel free to scroll down as it's long. I do note that Harry said "like two songs" and Kid Harpoon said Little Freak and Boyfriends were first written for Fine Line. But maybe this was a draft, not 'a song' or maybe changed a lot. Kid Harpoon said:

it's funny when when you produce a song and you do it, someone gives you a song and says produce this, you kind of have to like brainstorm, how do I want this to sound? So, for example, Harry wrote that song, cinema, and kind of brought it into the studio, and we were like, okay, let's figure this out. How do we write? How do we produce this? And we, kind of, like, it would sound cool if it was like this, and kind of got some references together and kind of went for it

That sounds a rough version. Yet, it was it was co-written and produced by Sammy Witte, who worked on Cherry and Fine Line. It's the only song without a Kid Harpoon writing credit (although he said 'how do we write?').

Sammy Witte

Sammy also worked on Little Freak which was completed for HH. In 2021 when HH was being written Sammy was working with Luke Hemmings and Sza, he may have taken time out to write a song for HH but it is odd when Little Freak was also taken out of the vault. It seems more likely to me that a version of Cinema was written for Fine Line, but developed with Kid Harpoons production for Harry's House and changed so much they did not consider it a hold over.

Pino Palladino

Pino Palladino plays bass on Watermelon Sugar, Little Freak, Daydreaming and Cinema... see a theme? Pino said:

There’s a studio in Los Angeles called Henson Studios, which was originally Charlie Chaplin’s lot. It’s quite a historical place. I was rehearsing there with John Mayer for a tour around 2017. I met Harry Styles in that studio. John introduced me to him. While we were rehearsing, Harry would sometimes come and have a listen. He’s a big fan of John’s. Shortly after, I got a call inviting me to play on a couple of songs for Fine Line, the first of which was “Watermelon Sugar.” Harry and his producer played it for me in the studio and the bass line was only partly constructed.

Kid Harpoon also said that they brought Pino in to "work on another song" and tried him on Watermelon Sugar, which made the song. So Pino, Harry and Kid Harpoon all worked on 'other songs' together, when John Mayer was also there in Henson Studios in 2017.

John Mayer

Harry and John met in Japan in 2013 with Katy Perry - in a scene similar to what Taylor Swift described when talking about New Romantics. John plays guitar on Cinema and Daydreaming, but not on any of Fine Line. As in Pino's story above he was in the studio when they worked on Watermelon Sugar and unnamed FL vault tracks. It should be noted that John works at Henderson a lot, he has now bought it. He and Pino were there in 2021 also, I just think the missing Fine Line songs coupled with them appearing on Little Freak and Harry evading saying it is about OW is interesting.

Lyric Analysis

You got, you got the cinema

This line reminds me of a 2010 song by the same name - Cinema by Benny Benassi ft Gary Go. Harry wrote Endlessly with Gary, I expect Harry would know it this song. The hook of that song is "You are my cinema, I could watch you forever" means the muse is as fascinating as a movie. Later in Harry's Cinema he sings that he likes it when they dance for him, to me, 'You got the Cinema' means 'You've got me seated, I will watch you all night'.

It's you And I'm not gettin' over it Darling, is it cool If I'm stubborn when it comes to this? I guess we're in time If you're getting yourself wet for me I guess you're all mine When you're sleeping in this bed with me

Harry and his double entendres, the first lines could be:

wanting something specific, noting the explicit end to the song, or

Harry will not let a person or connection go

"Is it cool If I'm stubborn when it comes to this?" is similar to Taylor Swift's "Is it cool that I said all that?" Is it chill that you're in my head?" in Delicate.

Time is also something Harry refers to often, here as something running out, in earlier work Harry asked for more time, here he is within it.

The last lines are so light and sensual, to me it sounds like Harry is not convinced this person is all his, he sounds surprised and unsure they are in his bed. It makes me think of an affair, or maybe it is as in the chorus that he doesn't quite trust it.

I just think you're cool I dig your cinema Do you think I'm cool, too? Or am I too into you? Tell me what you want and you got it, love I want all of you, gimme all you got That's cinema That's cinema, uh-huh

The Chorus changes pace and tone from the verse, where the verses are uncertain and Harry's internal thoughts the Chorus and outro have a faster pace and more confidence, though Harry directly asks if this person thinks he is as cool as he thinks they are.

Here Harry will do anything for this person, he wants all of them and to give them his all unconditionally.

But the verse ends with 'that's cinema' - does he mean that's an act? Or is it too good to be true? A life like a film.

It's you Don't know why, but it feels so right to me Something in the way you move I like it when you dance for me (I just think it's—) You all the time (Time, time) In doses at night (Night, night) No roof on the drive Dust off the high And go to sleep (Go to sleep, go to sleep)

The second verse again implies that Harry can't get past this person, they feel right and he doesn't know why.

The way you move/like it when you dance line have an image of Harry watching, like a show or Cinema. This brings us back to the cinema metaphor. This line reminds me of the scene in the unreleased Ophelia which also has watching, awareness of an unreal setting and watching someone dance. Also a song from the time of Little Freak:

"I'm sittin' here starin' at you / Tokyo, Tokyo (Ha-ha) / Fantasising like people do / I miss you so, miss you so / Too far for me to lie to you / You're what I need, what I need (Ha-ha) / Affected by the way that you move / So lie to me, lie to me (Ha-ha)"

The line of ' you all the time' / 'doses at night' is a contradiction, although Harry thinks of them all the time he only sees them as night. The dose line reminds me of Medicine. And night also reminds me of 'cursing the daylight' from Daylight. Like in Daylight, Harry comes down from the night with this person and goes to sleep, he is calm and resting.

[Outro] You got, you got I bring the pop, you pop You got, you got the cinema I bring the pop to the cinema, you pop You got, you got the cinema I bring the pop to the cinema x You pop when we get intimate (Baby, you're cinema)

The outro is chaotic, it sounds exciting and fun as he is describing, Harry finally with this person. I like in the outtro how clear the chemistry is that Harry is describing, a feeling of mutual excitement and satisfaction. I love the use of the word intimate and how he sings it too. In Chicago a fan held up a sign with a poppers bottle and Harry gave it a thumbs up which is widely taken as confirmation for this section. I agree... and I'll add many have only looked to confirm one thing about poppers …moving on. Also I love his face when he reads signs.
