okay okay let's go this - gimme your honest thoughts on headline

Nooooooooo I worked on an answer for like an hour and then tumblr said BLOOP BYE ok

This one suprised me because he fully prepped me with the preshow and tour bus playlists and recs that I thought it would be so heavy on the greatest and ooms and silver tongues kinda sounds? And unfortunately I do like my noise and I do believe he's loves his noise and I do think he wants to move towards noise? So my response was more of a what happened lol maybe I misjudged it maybe he's still kinda careful and easing us into it (tbh I think this) and it's for lt3 or maybe this is just what he's more comfortable with (and a lil this). Not that I think he doesn't love this sound. Or that I don't love this sound. Just didn't anticipate this many softieboppies that's all. Expectations were high and he fking met them don't get me wrong I just didn't expect this ALSO yeah it's crazy he just did it all lol.

Sonically she feels timeless like she belongs in the 60s 70s 80s 90s- projected into the future- projected into AUs- she belongs wherever she goes i don't know how to explain it I don't have the knowledge but she's just a lil bit of every era and never too much she's just out there being the sidecharacter in all of them sorry she's not the main but she's there she's definitely there

T H E TITLE is everything like going for a track called Headline being someone who has been the subject of many shit headlines over the years is just very hot no matter the context or how its used as a metaphor, but then so casually "you used to read me like a headline" that can be taken many ways both positive and negative is just oof chefs kiss.

For the rest of the song lyrically I don't have much to say, there's not many plays on words I can break down over or not that I've noticed yet apart from the links with the rest of the album in the first verse which I'll get to in the end, and the concept isn't relatable to me either so yeah eh shrug on them oop.

He's mentioned he didn't write it, just tweaked it:

I love this for him tho

[Verse 2] You spent your summer workin' for your education // While I was runnin' after dreams that kept us waitin' // You never told me "never" //I guess I never knew we'd have the shortest forever //I thought I could, but I can't forget ya

But then then I wanna talk about the 1st verse:

[Verse 1] Sometimes, I wake up and I hear you through the silence // You let your pride hide all your beauty and your kindness // So fast to judge in error, you thought you knew me better //So quick to kill forever

I like that this verse matches pieces of the rest of the album in terms of keywords: we got hearing you through the silence vs he can still hear the silence in Holding on to Heartache, then Beauty being another song, kindness just throw TPWK in there why not, then so fast to judge and quick, like quick to judge in Bigger Than Me, and then there are a bunch of forever and evers all over. It's like this first verse makes this song belong on this album. To me it actually feels like this is what he tweaked to make it fit on this album. And then that stops and just kinda bops on I guess 🙆🏻‍♀️

....I feel like this needs a conclusion but its really just

[bluewinnerangel]

have you been asked about the line "something about the way the light catches the mirror in my brain, it gives me shade" yet? because i'd love to know what you think of it (in reality i'm just too oblivious to lyric meanings lol)

I absolutely love the feeling it gives me. And currently that's all it's doing and for this one it's enough for me? Just. I fucking love it. But on the other what I've found with doing and reading others' analyses and seeking lyrical parallels I've only found it amplifies the feeling. So.. I can try to ramble and see where it takes me. This is just gonna be scattered thoughts sorry bout that:

Here are the verses of Saturdays to place it in the context given, although I don't necessarily think we need to do that for lyrics, like lines can stand beautifully on their own but:

[Verse 1]: I'm not supposed to be feeling dirty cheap on silver street at quarter to three. Hidden across my face in the crowd I'm counting up the days in a haze. I'm gazing at the floor, somebody's got your trainers on, The ones that you wore when you walked out the door.

[Verse 2]: Through my cigarette, a shadow of you sticks me to the carpet, try to ignore it. Something about the way the light catches the mirror in my brain, it gives me shade. I'm staring at the door, somebody's got your trainers on, the ones that you wore but you're not here anymore.

There's a running theme here of things not directly being visible. Hidden - haze - someone who looks like someone else but isn't - through the cigarette aka a cloud of smoke - a shadow - mirror - shade - staring at a door like there can be something behind it. Something you can't quite catch (the light catches as well), a memory of someone is over every single little thing and isn't here (literally "you walked out the door and you're not here anymore").

Cigarette - shadow - shade - mirror - hidden: she's giving me smoke and mirrors.

It's also somehow simultaneously giving me vibes of him being in the club and everything all senses are suppressed because his head is somewhere else (mainly the 1st verse; obviously he's feeling dirty cheap on silver street - aka going out in Doncaster - where the gazing at the floor and seeing someone in familiar trainers implying dancefloor, like he's on the balcony looking at the people having fun yk) as well as home alone in silence (mainly second verse, now there's a carpet, I mean the club might as well have a carpet but it's not the imagery it's giving me at least, and he's still stuck on the person with the trainers on he saw), it's probably to do with the softness of the verses like it just feels so alone, it feels so I'm alone in my bed after a night out and you're not here.

I think mirror in my brain is also to amplify that feeling that he's in his head, rather that a mirror at some corner of the club that could've rhymed somehow, also a mirror in your brain is a trick right, things mirroring and reflecting and being flipped upside down (i mean light going into your eye and your brain processing it doin the flipflop) creating deception, illusion, seeing a shadow of someone not there, ignoring it.

There's also something about "a shadow of you" and "sticks me to the carpet" where before there was someone on the floor in your style, then the "mirror" that "gives me shade" like it gets flipped around it gets mirrored and they're both the shadows the ghosts that are both dancing in the dark.

The use of the word "shade" is intriguing. As a synonym for shadow, perhaps also obscuring (thoughts), but also darkness? Not just the opposite of the "light surrounding him", just.. thinking of the pile of parallels within FITF, with darkness and light all over the place, with both "fading into darkness" and "fade into light" amongst many.

It's reminiscent of Two Of Us where he sings "with memories playing through my head", "you're written in my DNA, looking back in every mirror", "you're living through everything I'll ever do".

It also reminds me of Miss You: he's off his face going out, but "I should be laughing but there's something wrong, ant it hits me when the lights go on, shit maybe I miss you". But rather than it hitting him, he's very much aware of it.

So I think you can interpret "something about the way the light catches the mirror in my brain, it gives me shade" as the party lights shielding him from the thoughts in a way, "trying to ignore it", ignore all the thoughts he's having reminiscing this person, but also the from the outside as these lights are hiding his face in the crowd and it's just in his brain, but also they're reminding him, they're giving him memories of this person, when they were going out together, "and I've been thinking about the things we used to do, we always used to say saturdays take the pain away", so he was already repressing other pains with that person, but now he's there again, but without that person, with the added pain of not having that person with him either.

Annoyingly I keep thinking about Elton John's Something About The Way You Look Tonight, "There was a time I was everything and nothin' all in one, when you found me, I was feelin' like a cloud across the sun, well, I need to tell ya how you light up every second of the day, but in the moonlight, you just shine like a beacon on the bay and I can't explain but it's somethin' about the way you look tonight" And also another song with "something in the way you move" that I just couldn't place but I just found it: The Beatles - Something. And then suddenly I was like oh shit that's in Cinema too lol ("something in the way you move I like it when you dance for me"). Or rather the cover by Phyllis Dillon with changed pronouns because I've been listening to that through of one of Harry's playlists: "Something in the way he moves attracts me like no other lover, something in the way he woos me, I don't want to leave him now, You know I believe and how, Somewhere in his smile he knows that I don't need no other lover, something in his style that shows me", I'm not saying these things are purposefully connected by him, I'm trying to say they are now in the mirror in my brain, as they are what make me think of how "something about the way" in all these 3 songs (Elton, Harry, Beatles) are about how a person moves and how a person dresses, which then going back to Saturdays, someone in the clothes that the person wore on the dancefloor, the light catching [the memory], something about the ways all of it reminding him of the person that was once in the club and once on the dancefloor with him, someone who he in the past saw dancing, admired dancing, admired their style, and perhaps it gives him some consolation "something about the way [its catching these memories of you dancing in these clothes in these lights] it gives me shade [from the harsh reality of you not being here]", somehow, there's something about it in a way.

[ladychlo]

hii do you happen to have lyrics to harry's house songs? english is not my first language so it's difficult for me to understand everything:/ have a great day!

Hi love, you can check @larrylyrics and Soni's blog as well @finexbright

Ummm Sabine, why would O dress like Louis for H's last show? That's not even funny. She has lost the plot.

It's a holivia page that popped up on my page so apologies in advance.

Maybe Olivia hoped Harry can make himself look at her for once when she dresses like his boyfriend. (But from what I heard he avoided her and the kids all night. The usual…)

[bluewinnerangel]

Hi! Check @larrylyrics !

daisie, do you have any interpretation about lights up?

Hi dear,

Personally? Yeah, I think it's about Harry discovering himself and allowing himself to accept every part of who he is with love, courage and pride.

If you meant a whole lyric analysis, I don't have one I personally did. But check this this and this tags. Also I think @skepticalarrie and @bluewinnerangel have lyric analysis tags for every song of HL's.

[bluewinnerangel]

Me: oh there isn't nearly as much water imagery in FITF as I was anticipating, I mean with the exception of Paradise:

I know I’m the only one who’s gonna make my ship come sailing in

Keep your head above the water

Me after drenching no drowning myself in FITF for 2 weeks and ill be home:

A hurricane behind the door

When I hear that thunder in the distance

Whatever gets you through the darkest night just find the light out (like a lighthouse idc)

Getting high on the amber wave

Bad logic and empty cans (they hold a liquid k)

Soak up the empathy

There were problems in this empty bottle at the bottom but we drained all that

The wind held us up but (like are u a bird or a ship like does it make nice waves)

it's gonna drag me down (like you got a river for a soul and baby ur a boat or)

drifting back to darkness

When you’re standing in an empty space alone (like do we fill it with WATER hm)

The space between us just comes flooding back (I GUESS WE DO)

Instead of half way full (like a glass, and on that note:)

Can't get through the glass there's no use cryin' over spilled blood

Dry your tears away

See all these waves and waves of green

I was at my lowest ebb (? idk do we have the official lyrics idk)

[bluewinnerangel]

Re your Saturdays post:

I've also been ruminating on the line Something about the way the light catches the mirror in my brain, it gives me shade.

But I've been thinking of shade in the context of 'to shade' someone, i.e. show contempt, disapprove, diss etc. And mirrors are what we mostly see ourselves reflected in.

I think it's possible he's saying I see my role in this situation/whatever and in the deepest part of me I don't like what I see.

Just a thought.

He's such a great lyricist and yes he co-wrote but ultimately the songs must reflect what he wants to portray in his music. So, so many equally valid interpretations for us to play with!!

You're just making me think of "it's the way we see ourselves through walls of trees" and "square eyes and sunglasses, finding faces in the trees" now, like they're all together self reflective and linking back to shade one way or another? Brains exploding.

[bluewinnerangel]

I know there are a bunch of posts, maybe like this one? They should be reblogged on @larrylyrics but there's no tag (yet) for when the post is about a whole bunch of songs or songwriting in general, so hm good luck there still

Hi Kay! I was wondering if there's a post anywhere about harry and louis' songs correlating with each other? I feel like I've seen one before but I don't even know where to start trying to look for it

hi love! unfortunately i looked through my bookmarks and i couldn't find any (although i know they exist!!) and i don't think i've ever reblogged any to this blog, so sadly i'm not much help here :/. does anyone who follows me know of one?

[bluewinnerangel]

They really both said were high on bluegreening lol in their lyrics hm

[bluewinnerangel]

i will now make this my whole personality

[bluewinnerangel]

Love your blog!

This might be ridiculous but I was listening to 1D songs this morning and “Right Now” ➡️ “Silver Tongues”?

Like in terms of sound or lyrics or theme? Because theme for sure yeah, the rest I haven't really looked into much

Silver Tongues embodies "lets go crazy together", and theyre both pretty set on that they could do that forever.

And in the middle of that 'We won't be going home for so long' -> 'I don't feel like going home'

I also thought of Common People, 'you'll hear strangers singing your name' vs Right Now's 'the night is calling to me, I hear voices singing songs in the streets'.

I did an analysis a while ago about Right Now and how I just hear a celebration of being together (and the 'but I wish you were here' being a reference instead), in the night, having a good time, staying grounded in the midst of crazy fame, and yeah FITF with Silver Tongues and Common People and maybe the whole album stay true to that imo.

[bluewinnerangel]

Number 30 fucked me up. Yes. Had to say it here too. Bye.

It's an old curse, dreamers divin' head first, broken beaks and dead birds / every broken heart as far as the eye can see (COPY OF A COPY) 🤝 And time can always heal ya if you let it make its way into your bones / You should be staring at the sky the birds just passing by love / you said I'm holding on to heartache (HOLDING ON TO HEARTACHE)

Yeah that's one I saw pretty late looking around for parallels.. and like holding on to heartache absolutely wrecks me. Like I told you when I didn't listen to it for a day and turned it back on I ended up sobbing so hard like nothing existed for a moment but the moment that came and I faded into darkness shdhsh. But for this parallel what's fucking me up too, like amongst many things fucked up and the many interpretations I have all at once, is how you can interpret HOTH (lol hot h) as being about 1D, how it all went down(hill), and COAC being the dark side that came with it, with the rise to fame and all the things that they are as people that didn't fit the mould in order to get there and how so many try and try and they don't either and don't even get to experience the upside that can come with it and just how much it can take from you how harsh that stupid reality is of the fucking assholes in the world including those in power especially those in power that still think that's how it should be, and how COAC in turn if we're talking about parallels brings in SOTT too.

(about this parallel post)

[bluewinnerangel]

Just adding to your check list, sort of. For #25, a call back to LT1 - there was a direct call back to Miss You in That's The Way Love Goes, which is not LT1, but is that era? "They say, "Lad, give it time, there's no need to worry"" > "Remember when you told me I should give it time?" i love it

Yeah!!! I know!!! fuck I love it so much! But yeah I said LT1 man not the singles before that gotta stick to it skljslak

[bluewinnerangel]

TW drugs mentions

This became huge so anyone feeling like reading an essay have fun (I had):

1. Still a lack of pronouns  ✅

Yeah so I meant that in the context of the classic 1D mode hey girl in your stereotypical girl garment girling out there and Yeah *looks around* None.Of.That.Shit. Ok yk what we're gonna do this very thoroughly if it's gonna take me a month to get through this it's only gonna give me more time to digest this album, so here's a list of who is mentioned (which often isn't even directed at a 'you') and anything at all besides I/me/mine and stuff in this album:

The Greatest - You/we/us

Written All Over Your Face - you/we/babe

Bigger Than Me - somebody/you

Lucky Again - you / that guy / I'm a (hard) man lol / the lads / we

Face The Music - we/you

Chicago - we/you/baby/he! And is your brother doing ok? Is he still getting out of fights?

All This Time - you

Out Of My System - you

Headline - you

Saturdays - you/we

Silver Tongues - you/we

She is beauty we are world class -we/you/She! - she is beauty we are world class

Common People - you/us/we/her! I took her to the local

Angels Fly - we/you

Holding on to Heartache - You/love/us/we

that's the way love goes - you/she!/mate - I think she’s moved on mate it’s almost been a year

Paradise - your

COAC (does this count if i already knew it existed while making the predictions) - love/you/young man

Saved by a stranger - she/her/someone/you/stranger - when she came and took my hand and I’ll never will forget her I wonder if she still remembers me the night the night she talked me down / I was saved by a stranger

Change - our/we/kings/the kids/you

High In California - you

I mean.. yeah this is on brand. This is so on brand. If anything this is mostly directed at himself (like even most you's). And if I'd have to pick anyone it's directed at the most besides himself I'd say one of his mates.

2. But loads from a "we"/"us" perspective ✅

See above ho my god loads is an understatement

Some.. highlights:

We’re the greatest It’s you and me until the end Time for us is never over - The Greatest

I mean just The Greatest.

When we’re finished saying nothing Can we please go back to loving? When it’s good it’s really something Can we please get back to us? - Written All Over Your Face

it's bigger than me

We were lucky once // Before the time it got away from us I’d meet you at the favourite subway stop We’d grab some food and meet the lads for one - Lucky Again

The way All This Time's first chorus is from a me perspective (wow is that english) and then it goes Our eyes meet And I can tell that you’re the same as me It’s the way we It’s the way we see ourselves through walls of trees and then the next chorus it's the same but instead of I/me it is you. I can't even describe what that's doing to me but it is larry bye

We’re so much happier - Silver Tongues

we are world class forever we let the feeling last - She is beauty we are world class

If you act like you’re one of us - Common People

Just. Common People

The moments never shown to us - Holding on to Heartache

You're not the only one, no In a strange way, all in this together Been this way forever, you're not the only one - COAC

3. Insecurities. Not necessarily about him being insecure, but a song processing and looking at insecurities and uncertainties in a broader sense, very DLIBYH-like. ✅

wtf did i get myself into here

Ok first thing that comes to mind is All This Time:

But the truth is I/you still doubt That what I/you do can get me/you home But also Bigger Than Me. Lucky Again. Face The Music. eh... most songs? Am I just gonna list all songs again?

That's The Way Love Goes I think is "very DLIBYH-like" good call this one

4. Return of the (little) black dress ❌

No. I did just literally mean a move for me baby can't stop looking at you in that fit babe thing and nope. I mean there are some tiny focuses on like yeah I did notice what you were wearing but that's about it i think?

5. A diss track. ✅ Things or people being fake✅, but not like Fearless✅, more.. punk? More punk.✅

What Do I Even Do With This.

Fucking HEY. BABE. disstrack lol help. He done Mardy Bum'ed.

But I guess I was imagining more of a fuck the music industry type of way lol..

And the more punky ones aren't the diss tracks and fake stuff ones... so I guess as a whole it's a ❌ but individually sure we made it.

Also as for "diss track / things or people being fake":

So come on call me liar Yeah you're so quick to judge Cos yeah I might have changed But everybody does - Bigger Than Me

6. “Moon”✅

I mean on release day:

YEAH THAT COUNTS.

7. Just having a pint with the lads✅

chokes on all the pints and all the lads

Ok lemme bring in anything remotely there real quick:

Silver Tongues The Whole Thing

We’d grab some food and meet the lads for one - Lucky Again

I'm not supposed to be feeling dirty cheap on silver street at quarter to three - Saturdays

I took her to the local / Now we’re all screaming on the dance floor / All the late nights / And the good times / You’ll hear strangers singing you name / If you act like you’re one of us - Common People

About Mate's heartbreak and We’re going out to end up somewhere we’ll regret / Cos in this town it’s easy to forget - That's The Way Love Goes

8. hella obvious queer anthem. And I mean obvious level: ripped off some pride flyer.✅

9. Some fking hippie ass flowery love and peace man dude just relaaaaxxx everything's gonna be fiiineeee bro peace on earth song, which he'll be trying to mask it with some heavier sounds but yeah no lyrics are what they are and they're not hiding from us man we see your make love, not war bs babe keep going✅

Ok this is funny. This is funny. I didn't know at the time of writing that John Lennon's Mind Games was originally called "Make Love, Not War", you know, Mind Games, the song he got the phrase Faith In The Future from, and neither did we know it was gonna be the album title, and he confirmed it came from this song much later as well. So like. Just the album title alone is this. Like I have to put the checkmark there because of the album title alone lkasjdklajs

But SHE IS BEAUTY WE ARE WORLD CLASS IS ALSO EXACTLY THIS LIKE HAHA YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME WHAT THE FUCK IS A

Conversation is currency shapes become language square eyes and sunglasses finding faces in the trees fabricated fairytales bring a new world to life sit down sit down in the space and time [mantra surrounded by lights]

with that beat like ru kidding. But No It Gets Worse

She is beauty and we are world class forever we let the feeling last are we one or are we two? Are we me or are we you? Have we been all this before? Do you see what I see?

??????????????

I'll get back to this later but I think She's beauty / lil lines throughout the album might actually purposefully lyrically parallel Mind Games haha no thats fine

Also just for a literal "make love not war" that's just there too: I’ve came ready for a war / Can we please go back to loving? In All Over Your Face. asdsdfsd

EDIT So. High In California just dropped. haha.

10. Something about not being seen. Easily applicable to covid isolation times.✅

Time it came and changed it all / We had to disappear/ Cos nothing gets through here + a love you can not hide + dancing in the dark + making up for what we missed in The Greatest.

The moments never shown to us because we faded into darkness I can still hear a silence I can still hear a clock that’s ticking / When you’re standing in an empty space alone - Holding on to Heartache.

11. "Darling",❌ "love".✅

The birds just passing by love - Holding on to Heartache

12. One song of which none of his fans, no matter what we think we know about what he's like, what his life is like, what he's about, etc, can figure out. I mean, not even the subject. No clue. Many wildly different interpretations follow and somewhat of a common consensus will arise per corner of his fandom followed by a bunch of "unpopular opinions" and "no but I figured it out"'s and none of them will be right and this mfer will just be crackling in a corner somewhere.✅

Chicago. in bold.

13 Still being a kid at heart (there's Change already so is that even a prediction I guess not)✅

Not as obvious as I was thinking but Silver Tongues.

Common People nothing's changed I think counts, like he's right back where he started it feels very still being there at heart thing, maybe more of a true to my roots thing but.

The album as a whole in terms of sound is very much going I'm still that kid at heart, like not "a kid", but just the influences that you hear coming through, hearing it's such an ode to the music he listened to growing up and still is. And creating that feeling of hope for the future, that includes that feeling of we're young we're wild we're celebrating life we're in the here and now and the future is bright for us is very much this. So I think point no 12 here was a lot bigger than I was anticipating.

14 Ok fine one sappy love song. Romantic lil shit settled ridiculous us against the world kinda forever we're a team everyone else can fuck off you and me you and me baby you and me byeeee.✅

Ok I think this is possibly an unpopular opinion, but to me this is accurate and it's Written All Over Your Face. With that I mean I'm not seeing obvious relationshippy songs except for this one, I can MAKE a lot of others into love songs, like romantic partnership love songs, if i want it to, but WAOYF is the only one that I'm reading only this way, a love song, pretty sappy imo, like you're so longterm you're such an us you decide to write about this dklsjsklj plus just how dirty you can make it makes it even more on brand.

But to grab more literal lyrics fitting the "us against the world kinda forever we're a team everyone else can fuck off it's you and me baby" is

Together we’re the greatest / It’s you and me until the end / Life for us is never over - The Greatest, and brought back again:

You and me until the end / Waking up to start again / There’s nowhere else that I would rather be - Silver Tongues

prob more but enough for now

15 Water splashy sound goes splash splash ❌

Not that ive noticed. but. There's literally "water" tho. I mean the word. Paradise where he's sailing with "my ship". so. that's worse.✅✅✅dingdingding

Also Change there's noise that kinda sounds like distant rain? It's not literal sea sloshing and kids in the waterpark tho.

Also for the official audio's on his youtube there are 3 songs with water imagery, All This Time and Angels Fly have rain in a puddle and That's The Way Love Goes shows sun reflecting on the surface of the water.

16 "love is a drug" analogies, or at the very least a bunch of lines that seem pro substance use.✅

I'm not even gonna attempt to list this just ✅ but I do wanna say I'm enjoying how Silver Tongues he keeps flipfloppin between a drug and love: Getting high on the amber wave [drug! drug!] Going deep for the ones who do the same [together!] [..] You said love was a pretty lie [Love! Pretty!] And I choked when your smoke got in my eye [Together! drug!] Bad logic and empty cans [Together! drug] I know nobody understands me like you do [love!] [...] You said grass was a dirty drug you like to preach with vodka in your mug [drug! drug! together!] I love all the things you know [Love you!]

HOOOO EDIT! HIGH IN CALIFORNIA!!!! SORRY BUT besides him having a love letter to weed which ✅✅✅✅✅ I'M HAVING WAY TOO MUCH FUN THINKING HE TURNED HARRY INTO WEED. Louis: I'm a fish??? Harry: I'm cannabis????? I mean it's an obvious ode to weed but like it's allowed to have spacecakelayers i mean read it gay and larry it works with the bluegreen golden sun and

They always said it’s so bad for me Everything I try makes me feel alive Spend my whole life just thinking I had to change

he just wants to smoke him in california in the summertime ok let him

17 I think he's still gonna play it safe but lemme dream so much more raw sounds. Unpolished all the way.✅

Should've let myself dream.

18 And combining the previous 2: something that sounds a LOT like The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows.✅

Well now that was a big dream but sometimes they come true I guess what lol it's getting a check haaaaaaaaah im losing it.

So yeah that's She Is Beauty We Are World Class again. She's getting a lot of credit in this essay. Wouldn't say "sounds a LOT" tho but like the closest he would? With a dancey DMAs twist?

But why I'm putting it here is because I was hoping for some heavy TUHDUHTUHDUHTUHDUH mixed with trippy vibeyvibes lyrics like how many shrooms did you eat lemme tell you how to relax and enjoy it and we are eternal and shit lemme show off my vocals elongating these sounds lemme just hold up my hand to the sky and go can you see it whoooohoooohooo and- Well the fuck he delivered. To be fair tho I was also envisioning a bunch of weirdo sounds through it and compared to Tomorrow Never Knows, Beauty's pretty clean.

But I mean

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void It is shining, it is shining

x

Sit down sit down in the space and time

Surrounded by light Surrounded by light

No really just like stare at this for a bit till you feel like tripping balls for free:

19 And another one like George Harrison's What Is Life (both lyrically and sonically but with a ✨modern twist✨) ❌

No? Maybe? No? I got stuck on this for a LONG time to the point where I kept thinking I did hear ones that had a bit of a similar melody but just the fact that I'm still doubting about it I should just ❌

20 Ok third gamble add Paolo Nutini's Iron Sky as well. ?

Here again I went over this a lot of times and I was like well no there's nothing in here but then I got to like the last minute of both Iron Sky and he Greatest and I.. I mean. I mean? You know? Do I mean? You know? Eh?✅? little one? ✅?

21 Oh look up at the stars my boy they shine✅

If every star is an eye the sky you’ll see angels fly - Angels Fly

You should be staring at the sky the birds just passing by love - Holding on to Heartache

22 "This is who we are and together we stand strong" and like idk if is this about your relationship, artists fighting for their rights, the LGBTQ community, your fanbase, or your football club, but imma take it with both hands and cherish it.✅✅✅✅✅✅✅

together we're the! GREATEST!

and

The Greatest. Common People. And Silver Tongues music video.

mfer repeats "you and me until the end" in 2 separate songs.

23 ANGER. Just gimme the damn anger Louis pour it out into music please god just. do it.✅

I mean I don't think anger is the right word but it is what I was imagining so ✅ for Out Of My System, I love youuuuu

24 One that's just fucking clownmusic istg just straight out of Yellow Submarine uh..❌? or.. is it...

... I mean.... now that I think about it. Depends on what I meant by clownmusic like the literal toot toot or the moldy type because

x Blue like the lights surrounding me It all seems so different when I'm around it See all these waves and waves of green - High in California

girl

toot toot bluegreen waves add paradise and the ship toot idk bro idk:

Lately it's been so easy to see my life completed instead of halfway full / I know I'm the only one who's gonna make my ship come sailing in - Paradise

LOUIEEE LIVES. ON. A . BLUEGREEN SUBMARINE. BLUEGREEN SUBMARINE. BLUEGREENSUBMARINE

im normal✅

25 Clear continuation of a song on LT1 by reusing a line or a play on it from that song in a new one, that will have the same theme and vibe. ?

why do i do this i don't know. I . DONT KNOW. like fuck i know it's full of this and yet not.

It’s the way we see ourselves through walls of trees - All This Time asdsdf

I'm just trying to let it wash over me and the first thing I'm getting is Holding On To Heartache and DLIBYH, is that accurate time will tell.

But? No? If anyone's reading this hello hi how are you holding up but tell me about them? Because I'm just so in a FITF hole I'm just not seeing Walls through the trees huehue

26 One or more songs that are obviously not a direct response to any songs on FL nope nah most definitely not. ?

...I mean maybe but if so not obvious in a way it makes you cry angry bluegreen tears no

Okay so we talked about how Angels Fly works as a response to Falling so. I guess that's a ✅ but yeah no it's too early for this one.

But some parallels i guess:

you have to see it to believe it

kindness

I'm seeing parallels between Cherry/TBSL and Chicago (I'm sorry)

Put a price on emotion (Fine Line) / Conversation is currency (Beauty)

if we're here long enough they'll sing a song for us and we'll belong (TPWK) / You’ll hear strangers singing you name if you act like you’re one of us (Common People)

....I mean i'm sure there's loads but it's too early

27 But also one song that responds to NIL bro deadass cut the cameras ?

bro deadass I don't wanna do this

Ok I read through NIL once and I wanna say no.

28. "Faith In The Future" will be a line in one of his songs, one that may or may not entirely parallel John Lennon's Mind Games.✅ish

Hot this was n.28. Mind you I wrote this in January '22 so he had tweeted the phrase a few times without any context. Jokes on everyone it's the fucking album title. And he said he tried to make a title track, but it didn't work out ig decided on not to. So like I said earlier he did confirm he plucked it out of Mind Games. Now. For. Parallels. I'm seeing loads throughout his songs, but we're dragging in She's Beauty We're World Class, again:

She's Beauty has "sit sown, sit down in the space and time", which brings me to the verse with "Faith In The Future":

Beauty going "finding faces in the trees, fabricated fairytales" vs Mind Games':

And then the end of Beauty:

"Forever /we'll let the feeling last/Are we one, or are we two? are we me, or are we you? /Has it been all this before? / Do you see what I see?"

vs the end of Mind Games:

It's a little bit funny. Watch me do the same with Lucy in the sky.

29. something that can be translated to we’re both just little shits really (yeah LT2 can have some of that as well)✅

WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE

30. "Reflect(ions)"❌, "Mirror"✅

Through my cigarette A shadow of you sticks me to the carpet Try to ignore it Something about the way The light catches the mirror in my brain It gives me shade - Saturdays

that bit is so fucking good holy shit.

Do we count

Look back  On a time I was lucky once,  I could be lucky again eh

31 you're my baby such a good girl/boy. Let's just say it's for Clifford and move on.❌

I'll try:

hey, babe

and the what could be a woof woof @ 2:08 in WAOYF haha

Well there are babies.

and "you can call me baby"

32 H O M E. Always home, away from home, finally never home, home again, home is whenever I'm with you, always in my homey heart. So many options.✅

As some people write odes to England and call it Love Of My Life, others write them to Doncaster.

There are 5 "home" 's and 2 "house"s throughout the album (compared to 7 homes and 0 houses apart from the title of Harry's House lel bye)

And you/I keep on building mountains Hoping that they’ll turn to gold But the truth is you/I still doubt That what you/I do can get you/me home - All This Time You know when I’m with you I’m so much happier Nights like these We’ll remember those songs we wrote Only we know You smile at me and say It’s time to go But I don’t feel like going home - Silver Tongues

I came from a good home A house full of terrace dreams That was enough for me You know you had to see it to believe All the late nights, good times The mistakes and the heartbreaks When I get lost I go back to where I started - Common People

A trip down memory lane, houses all look the same - Change

33 Official or alternate album cover (like special edition vinyl or whatever) being the most cryptic ass illuminatispiracy looking assholery? Just? wtf am I looking at? What even is that??? Just get out? Go away? fuck off louis but keep going✅

Official one -> simple, clean, we good. London and New York special LPs? hello? Cassettes? Conspiracitorielreal. with the hidden 3 6 9 aslkjsl. Those CDs with the moving shit i forgot what its called also a lil extra. the green eye can have a mention too.

34 And/or some black and white album art / promo shoot / etc.. you know what happened with one of the pieces of fan art used as Spotify backgrounds on the 1yr anniversary of walls, where the art had a rainbow on it but it showed up in black and white on his Spotify? That. /

Wellllll yk between these predictions and now we did get that AFH2 merch that came online first in black and white and then we were yo thats a rainbow and then the merch AT AFH came in color and yes it was indeed rainbowmerch so eeeeee it's not for the album but that was 369% what I meant and happened.

35 A very fucking beautiful, lovely, honest, smart, perfect punch in the feels album imma cry to forever.✅✅fuckfuck✅fuck✅fuckfuckfuck✅fuckfuckfuck✅✅✅fuck✅fuckfuck✅fuck✅fuckfuckfuck✅✅fuckfuckfuck✅✅fuckfuck✅fuckfuckfuckfuck✅✅✅fuck✅✅✅✅fuck✅✅✅fuck✅✅

Did you do a predictions list for lt2?? Do i need to scroll down a bit? I loved reading your list for hs3 haha

Didn't yet but now I've slowly been adding to this list. Again I'm just having some fun here and none of this is very serious, but here it is, my LT2 predictions:

Still a lack of pronouns

But loads from a "we"/"us" perspective

Insecurities. Not necessarily about him being insecure, but a song processing and looking at insecurities and uncertainties in a broader sense, very DLIBYH-like.

Return of the (little) black dress

A diss track. Things or people being fake, but not like Fearless, more.. punk? More punk.

“Moon”

Just having a pint with the lads

hella obvious queer anthem. And I mean obvious level: ripped off some pride flyer.

Some fking hippie ass flowery love and peace man dude just relaaaaxxx everything's gonna be fiiineeee bro peace on earth song, which he'll be trying to mask it with some heavier sounds but yeah no lyrics are what they are and they're not hiding from us man we see your make love, not war bs babe keep going

Something about not being seen. Easily applicable to covid isolation times.

"Darling", "love".

One song of which none of his fans, no matter what we think we know about what he's like, what his life is like, what he's about, etc, can figure out. I mean, not even the subject. No clue. Many wildly different interpretations follow and somewhat of a common consensus will arise per corner of his fandom followed by a bunch of "unpopular opinions" and "no but I figured it out"'s and none of them will be right and this mfer will just be crackling in a corner somewhere.

Still being a kid at heart (there's Change already so is that even a prediction I guess not)
