🥀 Side A 🥀

music for a sushi restaurant

“If the stars were edible, and our hearts were never full // could we live with just a taste?”

the introductory song to the album ~ and the first song i listened to after i woke up – and i have to say – what a GREAT way to start of the day! the beat, was just so good – and catchy.✨ this was a perfect way to start of the album. the lyrics are so random and i love it haha. 😆💜 also, it kind of reminds me of treat people with kindness from fine line.

late night talking

“I’ve never been a fan of change // But I’d follow you to any place”

it has a very ..70’s/80’s vibe to it. (like, it sounds retro & fun to listen to and i love that~) i loved the lyrics, and the pattern of this song. it definitely has the potential to be a single.🍂

grape juice

“Yesterday, it finally came, a sunny afternoon // There’s just no getting through Without you”

this song, has an indie vibe to it – and that’s the kind of music i’m into right now, and i love the rhythm of this song so much! it’s so soothing to listen to. probably my favourite from the album – just wish it was longer though.

as it was

~ In this world, it’s just us // you know it’s not the same as it was ~

i listened to this song, the hour it came out! i loved the music video and how great and symbolic it is, and it’s just so upbeat and catchy. the bridge, though. it’s the best part. 🤎 it’s perfect as a single.

daylight

“if i was a blue bird, i would fly to you”

the lyrics i chose to add above for this, reminded me of these lyrics from if i could fly by one direction – “if i could fly, i’d be coming right back home to you” two different songs, but they deliver almost the same meaning.🍃 i get “sunflower vol. 6” vibes from this song as well, it’s so upbeat and..calm at the same time.

little freak

“i was thinking about who you are, your delicate point of view”

there’s something so calming about this song. and you just want to replay it over and over again.✨ from the lyrics, i think this song is about a past relationship, and the memories associated with it. it’s definitely not something i relate with, but i still treasure this song. it’s so vibe-y and soft. in my opinion, this is the best song from the album!😩🤌🏼

matilda

“you showed me a power that is strong еnough to bring sun to the darkest days”

the first time i heard this, i felt like it resonated with the movie/book matilda. and turns out, this song is inspired by the movie!🪄 it feels so nostalgic listening to this, and i found it so hard to pick the feature lyrics because the lyricism is just, splendid. it’s just so comforting and feels like home..💜

🥀 Side B 🥀

cinema

“It’s you // I don’t know why but it feels so right to me”

the melodies & harmonies sound so good in this song! the beat is…groovy. and the song is quite catchy! (how many times have i said that-) it’s a chill song, and it has a summer-y feel to it. but honestly, the lyrics aren’t that great. soo, i would rate it a 3/5. 😄

daydreaming

“give me somethin’ to dream about // livin’ in a daydream“

this song is quite different from the others, the beat, the rhythm, and how harry’s voice sounds, it just shows how versatile it is!💫a lot of people say this is the best song from the album but.. it’s not my favourite.., i would skip it. it’s ok, but i don’t like it as much as the other songs. 2.5/5 for this.

keep driving

“we held darkness in withheld clouds”

🌸- it’s a melodic pop song that’s so calming to listen to. i feel like this would be the perfect kind of song to play while you drive past a flower field, or when you’re cycling/ going on a road trip with your friends ~ that’s the kind of vibe i get from this. this might be my current favourite from the album :))

satellite

“i can see you’re lonely, darling // don’t you know that i am right here?”

it starts off a bit slow, but then gets upbeat. i love the chorus of this song,

boyfriends

“They don’t tell you where it’s hеading // And you know the game’s never ending

–the intro of this song has reversed lyrics, so that was a cool start.🙃 i love that you can hear the vocals clearly, and it’s a slow, soft ballad. probably would not listen to this a lot, though. too slow.

love of my life

“it’s not what I wanted, to leave you behind // Don’t know where you’ll land when you fly”

this was the song that was used as background music for the album trailer, and i recognized that once this started playing😆 about the song – it’s pretty good, and it’s a sweet way to ..finish off the album. the instrumentals are great as well.

so, those were my thoughts on the album! i’ve been playing this on repeat all day – i loved it, and it’s a great album. overall, i would rate it a 8.5/10. i’m kinda sad the premier for the songs is over, but it was really awesome listening to it for the first time.💛

have you listened to this album yet? let’s talk in the comments 🙂
