✨ High listening party ✨ ✌️🌱

Fine Line - Harry Styles

(I larrie’d real hard)

This is me just wanting to listen to my music while I’m under the ahem, influence and jot my thoughts down. I think typing is way better and tumblr is the best place share that.

Listening to Fine Line...gonna relate it to larry cause it’s so LOUD. Like I feel like I’m listening to a private story ya know? Not very many albums can invoke that. I think I’ll do playlists other times but some things are better experienced like this.

Here we go...

Okay so after a few high listens and even now, this whole album is a story. Like you have to listen from beginning to end. I know he split them as Side A and Side B, etc. so if you do not see the story in this album you need to go back and listen. Also, I’m mainly writing new things that I catch. So if I don’t acknowledge some of the more obvious meanings, it’s just because I think we all can easily spot or already know them.

Finally, the songs lol

Side A:

Golden - beginning of relationship or journey? Infatuation, he says he’s hopeless and goes into the chorus. I don’t wanna be alone, he feels it take a hold, take control (no control reference?!). Even though it goes into “take control...of who i am), the end of the control line has a pause before saying “of who i am”. So, it works for both. This song is for sure about the beginning and being in love. 

Watermelon Sugar - Watermelon Suuuugar!!!! SOrry typing this as I am hearing it. This is about the beginning and cant get enough of that person. Like I know it heavily relates to oral (love to see that) but the whole song is just tasting like EVERYTHING about that person. But this is all bliss of the relationship. Think he may have even said that in an interview? Yes? Watermelon Sugar HIIIIIGIHGIGIGIGJH. ALSO, my crack theory, tin hatting, clown shoes wearing, mind could not stop focusing on the “I’m just thinking aloud” line. Okay listen, that is the only lyric not repeated from the  pre- chorus. All the other lines from the pre-chorus, chorus are repeated. The verses are all different so that doesn’t apply. But when he sings the pre-chorus the second time, he doesnt say that. The reason I think it matters, is because I think that was a nod to “Thinking Aloud” by Ed Sheeran. H says he adds little lyrics and references only people he is close to would know. Thinking Aloud is like suuuuuch a love song. Might be relevant to him and L and like a thing btwn them? I know it sounds dumb but i can’t help tinhatting right now lol. THis is why these are *high thoughts*. 

Adore You - Same. As in same as the 2 above, love and first stage. He gets lost inside his eyes? Really? Gotta be about L. Pretty sure he’s mentioned liking his eyes or eyelashes. Also, wow so much summer vibes. That’s obvious but i cant stop thinking about that lol. H just wants to love this person. And we know who that would be...just saying 

Lights Out -  wow. I forget I like this song so much, Oh wow okay so I rewinded the song 3 times. I keep catching things that stand out. The beginning verse sounds like he is repeating a conversation. He does the back and forth with the way it was produced. I forgot the actual term though. Back to the original thing, he says “what do you mean ?” I’m sorry by the way,[I’m} never coming back down. Can’t you see I could, but wouldn’t stay.”[I] wouldn’t put it like that.”what do you mean ?” I’m sorry by the way. {i’m] never coming around. It’d be so sweet if things just stayed the same”. Is “sweet if...” a “sweet creature” reference perhaps? Idk, I’m just a sucker for lyric connections. Or even watermelon sugar. Cause it’s part of the Side A section, so this is all happening in their period of their relationship���. “Do you know who you are” Lights can mean anything but I feel like it refers to the lights of a concert. Like lights up and all these fans {think) “they know who you are”. Sweet if things stayed the same repeats again, it really stand out to me man. The lights, fame , whatever, couldn’t heal his heart is what I get from couldn’t shine into his dark heart or whatever he says. The know who you are thig is for sure about him. Like this song is about H feeling comfortable now and has found himself. 

Side B People!! - oh man let’s get sad. 

Cherry: Okay so before anyone comes at me. I do think this song at least some partial part is for Camille. I know. I know. But like not at all in romantic sense.  But like I said hear me out. This is about Camille and D. I know D passed away because it was really heartbreaking to the pro - skateboarding community and he was known for a few skateboarding films, one of those is titled Cherry. I saw on instagram for his passing she said he was the love of her life. But later on, I saw some other people on tumblr had also thought about this and dug more into it. Camille was with D and she has expressed how HE was the love of her life. She makes that known. I think H wrote this for her and D too. That’s why he said the song didn’t feel like it was finished without her voice recording from a phone call she took. Because it is her song in some way. The reason why I think that is because D won a skateboard award for the Supreme skateboarding video known as Cherry. He was known as a pro. It’s what Rolling Stones say was one of the important points of his career. Camille was at least friends with him if not already dating by this point. Sadly, he passed because of cancer. He is so respected in the Skater community. And I can see Camille and H having a friendship were she has expressed this to him. I believe this b/c this PR relationship had the most interactions I’ve seen from him and I want to say it was longer? Maybe they really got along. Could be wrong, I didn’t really pay attention to them when they were seeing each other. But I can see him doing this for her. Also, he liked to write songs for people so I see that even more. Now let’s get to analyzing... 

First verse, I think it is supposed to be from D’s perspective. The second verse is C’s perspective. I think I believe that cause it starts with a pronoun. The second verse is D to Camille? The I confess, you are at you at your best, I’m selfish so Im hating it”. Is her saying I know you are not suffering anymore but I am selfish, as in I’m selfish because I want you here. She knows he is better now that he was passed because he doesn’t have to deal with his illness. At least the see a part of me in how you dress. Take it as a compliment. Especially cause D’s aesthetic is LA skater boy. He is one the guys that inspired the cuffed jeans look. Okay, so verse comes back, it says I still miss your accent and your friends. Means she misses his voice. And then the “and your friends, do you know that i still talk to them” is her way of saying she keeps in touch with his friends after his passing. And yeah, its.a convo between them almost. And it is H’s song in some way, because it is a song about jealousy, and he’s mentioned before he gets jealous. And in the interview with Rolling Stones, he says he had the tune and he recorded Camille talking while he was playing the guitar because she was talking in tune to the guitar or something like that. So that means in some way he always was going to write Cherry for Camille and include her. I think that because he was already working on Cherry when he and Camille were together, so it seems less likely it’s a post- break up song to me. He could have added the gallery lyric after to make it more obvious for the general public? I knoooooow this may be super far fetched but I can see this. I can also see it being a simple breakup song too. But I just wanna throw this theory out there. 

Whew. Alright so I’m going to do a part 2 cause I’m tired of typing and I’m just gonna vibe for now. But man, did not know I was gonna get invested into this.  ✌️😊
