Thank you for recognising golden's superiority! I listened to the album when it came out at midnight and fell in love instantly.

Marilina

I've loved listening to Harry's House buy I haven't rly listened to Fine Line except for 2 or 3 songs. So happy to have your breakdown and finally listen to it!

Chloe

Ruth Van Malderen

Love this! Also, I really like that you edited the lyrics in!! Because I love reading them while you are discussing them :)

Ava Jeffs

packing for college today and I was feeling a little nervous because I’m leaving home in NC to move to Stanford in California but your videos ALWAYS cheer me up and I’m so excited for this one!! I absolutely love “Fine Line” the song and so many more on this album and I can’t wait to hear your superior thoughts on everything :)

Patricia

Hi girls!! I loved the editing of the video with the lyrics of the song on the screen 🥰

got my scone, got my coffee, I'm sat

personally, I loooooved lights up as the lead single. as a (at the time closeted) bisexual, this song hit me right in the heart. it felt like a lover letter to anyone who was afraid to love who they love. that opening guitar, the "shHHIIINEE! step into the light!" idk something about it just feels cathartic. the whole song is building it's like this release or a metamorphosis. lights up made me feel happy about who I am, and I will always love it for that reason <3

So interesting how you interpreted Falling. I never thought of 'What if I'm someone I don't want around' being connected to why they broke up (hinting at cheating or messing up in general). I always thought he's realizing that he doesn't like who he’s become since they split up. He's in his bed alone and drinking. 'What am I now' after the breakup?

CK

Thanks for sharing! I love the song fine line, the end to me always feels like a sunrise, musically. Before I moved I used to play it when I got up early while sitting on my deck drinking coffee and watching the sun come up.

Thanks for this! Never really listened to most of these songs, other than the singles. On Canyon Moon, let me just remind you that the biggest musician associated with Laurel Canyon was Joni Mitchell (an early album of hers was called Ladies of the Canyon), and of course the title "Harry's House" is also the title of a Joni song. And the music in Canyon Moon does remind me a lot of that time in Joni's career, and also Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (some of whom also are associated with Lauren Canyon). Glad to see there is some slight advantage in being old enough to remember this!

Lauren Shepherd

For lights up I read 'i'm sorry by the way' and 'i could, but wouldn't stay' as things that someone is saying to him and he is not happy with how they're communicating. So if it's about 1D I would assume zayn is saying those things and he's reacting like well i wouldn't put it like that/what do you mean? And now he has to step into the light as a solo artist and face himself/self discover. But then in the context of the album being about Camille I feel she could also be saying those things and starting to end the relationship especially because next in cherry they're kind of over. Other parts make me think Camille too. Like she is the sun (golden) and lights up is saying things like step into the light, so bright sometimes. Like she actually was too bright for him and he got lost in it/lost himself or wasn't able to be in a healthy relationship yet because he hadn't taken the time to know himself. Also because in cherry which is next he says there's a piece of you in how I dress. Like I was getting so lost in you I started to become you. In both cases it'd be so sweet if things just stayed the same make sense. And either the 1D spotlight or her light not being able to put out the dark in his heart works too. Idk I take this whole album as two different stories. One all about his relationship with Camille and two him finally having the space to reflect back on 1D and starting to find himself/healing some of his inner child after going solo. I think it is a very offensive first single because it holds both stories so perfectly! And the sounds... illegal

Carlee Unger

Coffee brewed, I’m ready! This video is the perfect birthday present 😍

Mar Colomer Ventura

I really love SHE! I think it's my favourite! I'm SO happy that you understand more this song.

Anna Miotello

I cannot believe you didn't mention the meaning of the title "Cherry", which I am pretty sure refers to the French "Chéri", (roughly translates to honey/dear/baby) and it's something that you call your SO in a relationship. Such a clever title with a hidden meaning! 😍

Gustav Lucas

Cherry is just too much to fathom, I’m still recovering tbh

Gustav Lucas

My ex and I used to call one another “moon cherry” as in “mon chéri” so this song is a lot haha

celine

This was sooooo superior!!! Loved hearing all your thoughts and fathomings surrounding these songs! Fine Line is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time so it’s always exciting to hear what other people take from it and how they interpret things. the sounds on this album !!!, like the tiny details, as you mentioned, make each track so special and incredible and fun to breakdown! Also the fact that he opens and closes this album with Golden and Fine Line *screams* it’s so offensive! the perfection!! (one last thing)…love & appreciate how you spoke about the track listing and his decision to section it into four parts bc, as you mentioned, Fine Line truly does tell a full story start to finish. He takes us through all the stages of infatuation, love, heartbreak, healing, and finally a semblance of closure with the title track at the end. For me personally, that factor just adds such meaning and purpose to the entire project that’s made me absolutely adore it from the start. Anyway! I’ve rambled for far too long but just know I absolutely loved this breakdown so much so thank you for all the time and effort put into it! Will definitely rewatch this video many a time, surely a new comfort video of mine! 🥹🤍

Maja Gunhold

bonnie! that jacket is stunning! the fabric and the colour! and emily! i would kill for that sweater

Jessica

Have you guys thought about ranking Taylor Swift's music videos? I think that would be interesting and super hard, especially if the focus is more geared towards the visuals rather than the lyrics.

Dany Rv

Guysss guysss what are you doing to us❤️‍🔥 So many things to say: 1. I would’ve loved to have an album like this buuut about Taylor. She deserved this kind of treatment. 2. The fact that Watermelon and sugar is about going down to a woman 🤯 didn’t know that 3. And finally that I think As it was could be the song of the year but I want that for ATW10” but also for him as he has just won a Grammy🙃 Too many feelings🥹

Dany Rv

Sameeee!!! Haha

Dany Rv

Yes!! thank you for including the lyrics it’s easier to keep up with you guys

Charlotte Nixon

wait! i’ve always interpreted the lyric in golden’s 2nd verse as being more the inflection - “when it ends, don’t wanna let you know.”. as in he doesn’t want to tell her he’s feeling it ending, rather than it being “i don’t wanna be alone when it ends.” INTERESTING!! god i love music!

chatsandreacts

yay okay great glad you enjoyed that little change, I will keep doing it ☺️ Bon x

chatsandreacts

oh Ava thanks thats amazing, you are going to have so much fun and change always leads to growth, even though its so scary! Goodluck! Bon xx

chatsandreacts

aw I love that for you Cali, and completely agree its such a cathartic emotional song! Bon x

chatsandreacts

Yeah I don't know if we are right with that, but thats what was coming to my head, I think its a little bit of both, because I agree with what you're saying too!

chatsandreacts

sunrise YES! Emily said it sounds sparkly✨🌤 That sounds like a lovely memory!

chatsandreacts

UM OMG Mark you just blew my minddddd! Thank you for this informaiton, Emily with die hahaha

chatsandreacts

wow Lauren this is sooo interesting and I love the interpretation of lights up being about either 1D or Camile! didn't think about the lights and the connect to golden etc, thats fascinating thank you! Bon x

chatsandreacts

Completely missed that omgggggg 🤯 Thanks Anna 😂

chatsandreacts

ah yes Celine, this was lovely to read and I completely agree. What you said about closure and it being the last track UGH Perfection this whole album 🙌

chatsandreacts

OH this definitely needs to happen one day! Thanks Jessica 🫶🏼

chatsandreacts

ugh Taylor did deserve an album like this can you imagine!!! Love that we blew your mind about watermelon sugar haha and the grammys are going to be so interesting, I wonder who will get SOTY I really want it for Taylor because she has never got it and getting it for ATW10 would be so perfect!!!

Ava Jeffs

aw you’re so kind! this made me feel infinitely better 🥺 that is definitely something I live by! you and Emily are such a light, or as some would say, “golden” 💛

Gabriela

yesss I've been waiting for this one!! i don't know if you guy's noticed but in to be so lonely you can hear him light a match and blow it out before the second verse, another little easter egg is that the vocals behind the last "tonight" in sunflower vol. 6 are saying "fineline". this album is superior, i loved the breakdown!

Kasey

loved loved loved watching this. please do hs1 and his behind the album documentary on apple music!

Dany Rv

I know ATW10 deserves it. I want Red to finally have a Grammy. But anyway I’m not going to go there in this video!! 🤣

Joe Weaver

😂 I'd never really thought about Watermelon Sugar meaning what it means until I listened to a podcast all about One Direction & then Harry's solo stuff and a few of the other guys. But yeah oh Harry's got lots of sexual stuff going on in his songs! Still one of my favorite Bonny & Emily moments is the Harry's House reaction when we go from Matilda to Cinema. We've just been emotional over Matilda and then we get Harry bringing the pop when get intimate or whatever. And I forget Emily said exactly but it was hilarious.

Joe Weaver

I've really become a fan of Harry in the last 4 or 5 months. Whenever it was I started to learn more about his music and not just the Taylor connection & the vague things I knew because of One Direction (I was watching X Factor when they were on...didn't like them that much! 😂). Anyway, looking forward to watching this one as always!

kenz

yesss!!!! i was so excited when i saw this notif! this review was so interesting. i, and many other harries, viewed these songs in such different ways than u guys did. i love hearing how u perceived them! harry is so musically creative in this album. amazing video. thank uuuuu. and YES please do the music videos from the fine line era, i think the lights up video shows more why people think lights up could be about his sexuality.

Rachel

This was a fantastic video, I fully enjoyed it! I'd love to hear your thoughts on Harry's first album and Harry's House as well. Thank you for the work and time you put into these breakdowns!

Jayce

This is unrelated to the video, but does anyone have a link to their Discord? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thank you!

Sam Obrien

AHHHH I literally lost my mind when I saw you posted this earlier bc it was the same day as my Harry concert!! So I got to come home and dive into this to keep the vibes going

Sam Obrien

Magical timing💕💕💕

Sam Obrien

OH! snd I took some cutie photos and videos for you guys and the pattern fam! I can Dm them tomorrow on insta!!! XX

Courtney A

I love how you put the lyrics up on the screen in this breakdown, Bonnie! Thank you for all you put into the editing! I’m sorry you keep having difficulties with the sound. I appreciate you, Em and this little community so much! 💚

Sadie T

I love you both so much!! Just make me so happy to see besties loving music just like I do with mine 💕 Would love to see your vinyl collection!!

Laura Stimpfl

What the FUCK i never saw Lights Up as being about one direction but damn it makes sooo much sense!! Wow i instantly like it like 50% more now

Gustav Lucas

You mentioned "Venice Bitch" during the She outro, would you ever explore Lana reactions/breakdowns? I feel like she is in the TSCU, and her lyrics are also very special.

Maria Carmen

3 minutes in and B has been slapped hahhaha can't wait to fathom with you guys and love the outfit 💚

Courtney D

"The coffee's out" I would take to mean that they are sitting at the cafe and have finished their drinks (mugs empty), and there is just nothing left to say, no excitement like before, just sadness. So, out of drink, but also out of things to say or any momentum in the relationship...love your interpretations too though!!

Joe Weaver

Off-topic... What do you do when a song you don't like gets stuck in your head?!? How does this even happen? It's annoying.

Bi Gil

Actually in tbsl I always interpreted him saying ‘and I’m just an arrogant son of a bitch who cant admit when he’s sorry’ as a mockery of a phrase that she would throw at him, kinda like confronting her in a sarcastic way by making her know that of course hes not assuming the blame, and she should know as she always complained about that. So probably the drunk conversation was him saying: You cant blame me because I was away and as you say ‘im an arrogant son of a bitch who cant admit when he’s sorry’

Jaylennn

hey, ily, im sorry, but pls do a speak now breakdown, pls, literally no TS creators react to this album, it's the only album written entirely by HER???? kinda criminal u guys havent done it yet 💀 (i hope u guys are doing well, luv u :) )

chatsandreacts

ah love that Joe, its so fun to see your love for an artist grow as you understand more! I hope you got something from this video too ☺️ B x

Catalina Borreani

LADIES I loved this video! loved to see you fathom everything!!! SINCE YOU MENTIONED VENICE B1TCH: PLEASEEEE BREAK DOWN NORMAL FCKING ROCKWELLLLLLLLLLLL

Alice

I think they’re waiting until she announces the re-record to do it!

Sarah Joannette

Thank you for this breakdown! I only known the popular tracks from this album but now I watched your entire video I am hooked. It was very interesting and educative 😍

Joe Weaver

For sure! It's easy to dismiss a lot of pop star stuff if you don't give it a chance. I still hate that it took me so long to fully get into Taylor. There was no reason for it. I've always liked her. Just never committed to being a fan until last year.

Joe Weaver

Yeah, they are waiting to do a lot of things to have them go along with the re-records (SN, 1989 Tour, rep Tour). It's why we're in a semi Lover era with the diaries & music videos and such (since that won't have a re-record era).

Joe Weaver

I really liked putting the lyrics on the screen in this one so we could read along with you. Or see it all better, I guess. I'm only on Adore You, who knows what else I'll fathom in the rest.

Patty Minor

Thank You for this. I really never listen to HS and I’ve listened to this twice now. Excellent album. I do feel like we should have a game of shots at how many times Fathom is used ;-)

Emily Christine

Love this! Can you please react to Harry's debut album???! Would LOVE to know your thoughts. :)
