Yes. Each lyric line above is from each of the ten songs on Harry Styles' debut solo album titled Harry Styles. Some may say this is the album of the year and many may also disagree with this statement. Although, with Harry's album being out for a total of sixteen days now, social media has been blowing up with the success of his album. He quickly went to number one in many countries and fans who were not up to par with the well known boy-band Styles was formerly in, One Direction, quickly became a fan of him.

His sound differs from each song which makes his album extremely unique. It is not all one solid sound and this allows the different genres to mingle into one whole album. Each song is written by Styles and has its own deep and/or exciting meaning to it.

Here is a simple taste from each song on this phenomenal album. You'll just have to listen to it to receive the full effect of amazement.

1. "Meet Me in the Hallway"

A soothing acoustic sound while the voice of Styles echoes throughout the entirety of the song.

2. "Sign of the Times"

A David Bowie vibe is within this song. Isn't that enough to get you hooked?

3. "Carolina"

Let's just say if you love a good beat and electric guitar then this one is for you. Or perhaps if you like learning about the love life of someone else.

4. "Two Ghosts"

Everyone loves a good sad song with the acoustic guitar acting as the main lead in sound. You won't have a dry eye after listening to this beautiful song about two people losing their way with one another.

5. "Sweet Creature"

Another acoustic sound, but the lyrics are a bit more positive than the last tune. Styles sings about being stubborn with the one he argues with, but he seems to always find his way back home.

6. "Only Angel"

Don't let this song fool you. In the beginning it sounds like a sweet journey up to the pearly gates of Heaven, but it soon takes a different turn. Need I say more?

7. "Kiwi"

Although this song may not be exactly about kiwis, it sure does have a hypnotizing sound that makes you want to rock out and bang your head twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Just give it a go and I promise you will not be disappointed.


8. "Ever Since New York"

This song is a bit repetitive with the chorus, but all in all holds a nice sound to it with the smooth and soft sound of Styles voice singing us through telling him something he doesn't already know.

9. "Woman"

Styles has always been the one who is all for women and their rights. Some may think that this is what the song could be about, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves. If you're looking for the more sexy side of Styles, then this is it. It almost reminds me of a cheesy opening to a bad film with the beginning of the song, but it will soon grow on you with a bluesy feel.

10. "From the Dining Table"

My personal favorite from the album includes this mellowed out song about missing your ex whom you seem to see everywhere you go. Styles sadly sings about his phone missing her call and waking up to someone he thinks is his ex lover, but in reality is just someone he's filling the void with. This song will definitely pull at your heart strings.

There you have it. A sneak peak at Styles' debut solo album. If you were a fan before this article then hopefully you can agree with me on some level. If you found yourself reading this simply because you hear the talk of Harry Styles everywhere you go and were just a bit curious, I hope you find yourself testing the waters of his music. He is incredibly talented at knowing how to hook you into his life of artistry.

"That's the amazing thing about music. There's a song for every emotion. Can you imagine a world with no music? It would suck." - Harry Styles

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
