this weekend you can dm me on instagram with your question and i'll be sure to feature it
in the next video okay now on to the actual song reaction this is a track of harry styles
new studio album it's called harry's house now i've actually heard little snippets of this song
from instagram and tick tock videos do you know it was a track from harry styles i just knew the song
was actually stuck in my head turns out it is one of his songs so i thought it'd be a good idea to
make a video too um now he's of course known from his boy banjeers in one direction uh that period
of his music was not for me being a hip-hop head i don't think i'm his target demographic
however over time he has proven himself to be a legit pop artist man he's released good music
specifically i would say uh his first actual single he released sign of the times i think he's
still his best song to this day brilliant track man i really like that song this is his third
studio effort um he is actually sighed as being a songwriter on all of the songs on this album so
that is very commendable man being a pop star in 2022 it's not always the case that you're
writing the music very cool so let's see if you can turn this hip-hop head slash turning into a
classic rock fan into a fan of his music lastly i should say if you have a second please subscribe
it helps the channel grow tremendously we are heading towards 2000 subscribers
other than that let's get into the music man okay here we go love those keys man holding me back
and i'm the one
in this world it's just us
there goes the keys again the same as it was in this world it's just
you know it's not the same as it was here we go
okay let's pause it really quick there um this is a really cool song man especially
lyrically it's not as the music would present it's actually quite a dark track man it's quite
sad especially his vocal delivery is quite melancholic there's a lot going on in the
background this song i really really love the keys to me the the piano playing is probably
the highlight of the whole song there's uh quite a lot that you might not cash in the instrument or
um if you don't pay attention they've got a really cool bass line that's like sort of just
uh constantly pulsing and then these really great guitar bits that come in ever so slightly in sort
of the quiet background of the track i think we feel like the production is like um surgically
precise in terms of being a pop song like it's like pop perfection you could almost say
um great songs so far man and back this up a little bit
he just wants to know
it's just us you know it's not the same as it was
you know it's not the same as it was as it was
okay i'm gonna pause it there real quick again um again just really great um sort of musicianship
you can almost say it's like um he's chosen to almost like make it sound like a live performance
a lot of the music is sort of uh has great chemistry with all the other parts which is
really cool to see in a big pop song um lyrically again in the second verse that might be even a
darker verse than the first one where he's talking about um having to be on pills and stuff and he's
like sort of in a dark place sitting on the floor um this is probably the coolest line of the whole
song where he says harry you're no good alone hmm i feel like a lot of people can relate to that
um really cool man this uh this bass line keeps chugging on like if you can you can hear it when
you try and isolate it with your with your ears like um it's sort of the pulse of the
whole song um yeah sort of under the radar check that out if you get a chance to listen in close
great is
okay cool song man cool song i like that track again the keys are the probably the
highlight of the whole song um cool little vocal segment segment on the bridge now in a pop song
the bridge can make or break the track and he kind of had a home run there he sort of um
turned down the pitch of his of his voice and put a weird little effect on that um really really
liked what he did there again this is sort of um a kind of a interesting song in the sense that the
music don't doesn't really fit the vibe of the lyrics the lyrics actually really sad
um it's almost like the same way like hey i was if you remember the outcast song where like
really really happy song it seems like it's really upbeat here you are
when you actually pay attention it's a super dark track about like loss and not understanding love
similar thing going on here great song man great pop song thumbs up
