Fine Line: rambles & rankings

hello here i am eleven hours after being knocked on my ass by one miss harry e styles with some thoughts if anyone is curious!!

1. Golden- the sad bop to end all sad bops!! the dichotomy of this music being the most fun and bouncy (the da das on tour!!) while his voice is the lower, steadier element of the song is so interesting to me? also the pessimism of this song is *chefs kiss* even if the idea of his vulnerability being an undesirable trait to his partner is heartbreaking

2. Watermelon Sugar- she slaps and we been knew!! this wins for best dance number for sure and i can’t wait for us all to be grovin and yelling “high!” back at him

3. Adore You- i think after a week ive concluded that this was my least favorite of the 3 released songs, only just slightly? but i absolutely love singing along to this, and ofc the eroda aesthetic is forever connected to it and absolutely incredible

4. Lights Up- baby light of my life :’) i love lights up and i will always love lights up, shes always gonna be special to me knowing what it means to harry and the way he decided to release it on coming out day with that video, and i hope he continues making art like this for a long time to come

5. Cherry- i? wasn’t?? prepared??? to be perfectly real, i wasnt anticipating this being a fav from what we heard in reviews, BUT THIS? musically this is so exactly the sound i want from him (hozier meets bon iver but make it harry?? BLESSED) and im absolutely in love with it. and his voice!! pulled the first tears out of me on the listen through :’) the way he harps on “don’t you call him baby” in the softest most fragile way over top this melody is art, put it in the moma

6. Falling- MA’AM THESE VOCALS. i love that this is pretty bare bones musically to really highlight the vocals and the emotions, both of which go absolutely off. its maybe not the most ~interesting~ to listen to compared to others, but the power of this LIVE? holy shit thats 100% where this is going to flourish

7. To Be So Lonely- starting with “I was just a little boy” PLEASE BE QUITE im not okay. anyways there is something about the way these lyrics sit in the pocket of the music that im obsessed with. i wasnt sure how i felt about either one their own, but god the way the “arrogant son of a bitch” line is weaved in with these instruments (the strings on this!!), i feel that shit in my CHEST

8. She- hello to what i feel are the most hs1-esque vibes on this album, except definitely different and COOLER!! its weird bc this is a sound that i already easily associate with harry, but lyrically/conceptually this is fascinating territory. There are layers to be unpacked here and ive already seen some galaxy brain interpretations so im excited to let this one marinate (the falsetto and “plays pretend” lyrics… okay ma’am) also the “sleeps in his bed” vocal FUCK! and of course mitchell went off and i cant wait for harr to be all over him on tour

9. Sunflower Vol. 6- MY FUNKY LIL BABY this is so sugary in a way thats not at all cheesy but makes me smile so! much! the gasp, the sounds at the end… could not be more babie and i just know im gonna fall in love with the bits and bobs of this more and more every time i listen. shout out to the Queen vibes i got from the “tonight tonight tonight” parts! and also did i mention the end is the cutest thing what the fuck

10. Canyon Moon- these absolute VIBES shes THAT GIRL!! this is so sweet and tender im soft. the “Im going”s are so fucking PRETTY? the beautiful dulcimer sweetie you are doing so great. idek what else to say this is the soundtrack to the gay indie roadtrip movie i want harry to star in and i love it with my whole heart thats it

11. TPWK- hating on this is literally illegal?? babie made this for and about us and the space we mutually created on tour THIS IS OURS. hes feeling good in his skin and dancing with us!! even if he doesn’t have all the answers!! the Queen vibes in this too we love, and we are going to have SO MUCH FUN singing n dancing with him to this :’) the “loooong enough” vocal and then his “all together now” stuff at the end is so happy, healing and sweet i love him so much

12. Fine Line- *sigh* what am i supposed to say? what can i do? musically and vocally this is everything ive ever fucking wanted (again i didnt quite realize that harry styles pulling a bon iver was exactly my niche but guess what it absolutely is). HER FALSETTO HER VOICE THIS DELICATE TENDERNESS?? Cannot think of a single thing ive heard thats more stunningly gorgeous than the way he sings “we’ll be a fine line/we’ll be alright” so guess thats it for me lmao. similar to cherry, on paper these lyrics are not a hit for me (at least without analysis), but god it doesnt fucking MATTER bc they come across so abstract and transcendent in context (and open my mind to so many other interpretive possibilities) that i cannot not be in love. And then of course the horns come in and we get the hopeful turn…this song makes me feel things on a level nothing he’s made before ever has. 

Overall this album threw me for the loop of a lifetime; its so different from what i was expecting and even hoping for, but without a doubt the most special thing i’ve listened to in as long as i can remember. these songs deliver on a level hs1 barely scratched the surface of, and i cannot wait to see how harry continues to grow and reach even higher places across his career. endlessly proud of him, always.

Extremely tentative ranking 100% subject to change bc this is impossible:

fine line >> sunflower vol. 6 = cherry = canyon moon > lights up > tpwk > to be so lonely > watermelon sugar = golden > falling > she > adore you

@noctiscaelvm.    dan, my sweetie pie, my honey bun this goes without even saying how valued you are on my blog. because its a lot. A. Lot. you write your muse so well on noctis, but that’s obvious because you always seem to do so well with any character you take on?? character you take on?? and need i Mention our ship with @sorebullet these three got me Wrecked.

@nightscaped.   phob, your oc kael is just. so amazing he Blows my mind how well written and made and thought out and EVERYTHING he is. sometimes i play ffviii and wonder “wheres kael? wheres my bro?” and lets not even mention how badly sice needed a friend that wouldnt punch her in the face lbr, because everyone else would if they could.

@lazuliss.   let me just say: your noel snatches me bald okay he Owns My Weave. I’ve idolised your blog Forever not gonna lie because noel is such a good character and im like. why does no one write my boyfriend?? love him?? and then your blog came along and i was effectively launched into the planets orbit alright im out of this world. i’m also in love with our au and expect so many things your way when summer hits and i am Free from the majority of my obligations we’re gonna get TURNT.

@lockedfighter.   your tifa is a BAE and honestly as the first tifa i’ve ever written with you will always have a special place in this dark little gay heart of mine. i love how you write her and im often stuck between her mom-ing sice and just being a really good pal y’feel. but then i remember: why not both?

@irradiancies.    i love your kairi. i really do, watching you write her reminds me and makes me see all the reasons why i should and DO love her?? she’s honestly equally important as riku and sora and the bbs trio ppl okay she’s hella important and i love her and sice will little sister the fuck out of her eventually just give her some time.

@eternalfaction .   ley. ley!! LEY !! I love you too like i dont even know where to Begin with you?? but lets start and remind you how Awesome you were for starting the rp group you did for everyone, the first affiliated community i’ve ever been in and by far from that experience i wouldn’t ever mind being in one again. you brought me close to some of the people i’ve mentioned already, and for that i am ever greatful!! it even brought me to you.

@lastscion .   you’re like, the only other noctis so far i can recall deeply interacting with and boy. i love your noctis too and i have in no way forogtten your king blog im just hella slow af, and god just punch me in the face w/ur talent come on lemme have it.

@leviathkand .  your tidus has scortched my eyebrows off with how pure of a sun he is. i have no eyebrows. theyre gone. eyebrows were a myth for me tbh and even though we literally rn only have one thread, i look forward to a future full of them between our gaurdian babies !! they have so much potential. so much.

@akamure .   literally we’ve only had a few crack interactions that incluuded @adventson , and to the both of you, i’m just waiting man my clock is set the calendar is marked i love you guys’ writing and portrayals and hmu one day yfeel...

@shinatosark &&. @puritybled . this fits for the both of you because we have only just scratched the surface of plotting between the relationships our muses will have but if you dont think in her ygo verse sice isnt gonna sister the hell out of these two boys you are Wrong and you are in for a surprise. they’re not blood related but that doesnt matter?? they’re her little brothers now. you cant escape and you cant stop this kaiba name or no kaiba name she cant be controlled. you’ve both also been some of the very first people outside my muses canon fandom to be chill and open to interact with me and i am grateful. so greatful. ive been blessed by two angels right here.

@yunafied .  uhm? ur yuna? ur yuna. she owns my soul no take backs she has it now and i dont want it back. i have so many ideas i need to hurry up and pitch at you to develop of class zero kids, because i have such concepts to get yuna into that sibling bond group too she needs to learn a little compassion from yuna honestly.

@shitheaddog .  we’ve barely been mutuals but just like my ygo fam you’re so ?? cool and open to me wtf and i cant wait for what we’ll be able to do together in sice’s inuyasha verse ( also that botw stuff *wink wonk* im in that hell too).

@yuhaie . A GODDESS?? A LITERAL GODDESS. WE’VE BEEN MUTUALS FOR ONE DAY. ONE. AND YOU’VE BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO MAKE A PRE-ESTABLISHED BOND WITH MY MUSE IN A NARUTO VERSE OUT THE KINDNESS OF YOUR HEAT AND OMG WHAT THE FUK I CANT EVEN.
