how i think harry styles& #39; music videos are connected (an over-thought and unnecessary thread)
okay so let& #39;s start with adore you, the only one with a set story.
adore you is set on the isle of eroda. it is in the shape of a frown not-so-subtlty showing how sad it is there. it& #39;s a rainy and gray place.
adore you is set on the isle of eroda. it is in the shape of a frown not-so-subtlty showing how sad it is there. it& #39;s a rainy and gray place.
we meet a boy with a very literal shining smile. he has no known family so lets assume he& #39;s an orphan. he is rejected by everyone due to his peculiarity and falls into a depression, losing said smile.
he screams into a jar and caps it. this symbolizes him bottling up his emotions.
his loneliness engulfs him and he goes to the beach, he puts rocks in his coat pockets and begins walking into the water. he sees a fish on a rock nearby and he helps him back into the water before continuing on. the fish jumps back up.
the fish saves harry without him knowing. he learns what true friendship is and begins to find happiness. the fish grows and grows until he is too big for harry, he is meant to be free.
in the end all the townspeople band together and set the fish free. this time harry saves the fish. the towns moral is raised. his smile returns but without the shine.
the boy gets on a boat to travel the world. he takes the jar from before and uses his scream to propel the boat forward. this shows how he is free from his past and can let go of all the emotional baggage he& #39;s been carrying. he is happy.
okay now to actually connect the videos sjsjsnhdjd
when the boy boards his boat he turns on a record player, it plays the guitar bit in watermelon sugar.

watermelon sugar is set on the beach where the boy washes up.
the first thing we see is a table. the tablecloth is the same as the sail of the boys boat in adore you.

in this video harry is surrounded by people, something that used to be foreign to him entirely. he is laughing, having fun, and probably sex too since thats what the songs about but lets just skim past that.
he has grown and moved on from his old life. now surrounded by bright colors and filled with joy, so unlike before. he never forgets the fish, which is why he stays by the beach. in hopes of meeting his friend again.
now he can just be happy and ~vibe~ with some girls on a beach. but yet the boy can& #39;t just forget the past. yes he has moved on but it& #39;s still apart of him. it made him who he is. life wasn& #39;t always so amazing and fruitful for him. he can& #39;t forget that
this is when falling comes into play.
the video begins with harry sat alone on the floor of an unknown building. my thoughts are that this is his internal space. a place where he could go to escape the world when he had nobody to speak with back in eroda.

now this place is cold and wet, its no longer safe. it& #39;s just another memory linked to his sad past. no matter how far he travels, how hard he tries to escape it. you simply can& #39;t erase the past. he& #39;s suffering from trauma due to neglect. this pain is unseen. he drinks to ease it
the room fills with water to signify his pain and sadness rising. he doesn& #39;t fight the water filling the room but it isn& #39;t welcome either. he just lets it happen because he& #39;s stopped caring. he feels as if there& #39;s no hope.
he& #39;s falling back into that bad place from before. he& #39;s lost his idea of who he is and this time there& #39;s no fish to save him and he drowns.
or so you& #39;d think.
instead the water surrounds him because this isn& #39;t a real place. its all in his head. a mental prison. instead of drowning he stays there still breathing. the video ends.

lights up.
in this video you can see him floating on top of the water, showing that he fought his way to the top and got himself out of that mental state.

however, he is revealed to be wearing a mask. this is to remind him of how his past self was hiding and didn& #39;t know who he was
he is then seen wet and alone in a room. he looks confused and tired as one usually is on the path to discovering who they are. he is still struggling just not as badly as before.
later he is shown in a room with multiple versions of himself. he is discovering who he is by personifying all the ideas of who he could be.
he is seen emerging from the water, showing he has truly moved on and realized who he is. the second image shows him reflecting on that time when he wasn& #39;t sure of himself.
now he is back with people, the lights are on him and he knows who he is for sure. the green shows how he is free to go out and be himself. nothing is holding him back. not even his past this time. he& #39;s away from the beach and has moved on. he doesn& #39;t need the fish anymore.
there& #39;s a possibility that sign of the times may also be linked since the coat he wears then and in the rock-scene of adore you are similar. if that& #39;s true then i believe that would be the boy passing on and floating into the golden sky (maybe for a golden mv??)
btw im not saying any of this is true, i just came up with this today and thought it was a cool concept hblbjnadc
