Today’s song On Repeat is ‘Fine Line’ by Harry Styles.
If I’m honest, this song has been on loop quite a lot since the album, Fine Line, was released last month. This was one of the songs I immediately latched onto and knew was I was going to obsess over on so many levels.
Styles has the ability to come up with lines that you don’t see coming until it hits you and before you know it, you’re feeling things you wouldn’t expect to feel.This song, however… This whole song… I didn’t see this coming. All the many magnificent layers of it. And I’m not over how brilliant it is.
I’m mad at but immensely grateful to Harry and his team (Mitch Rowland, David Campbell, Sammy Witte, Thomas Hull, Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon) for making such a beautiful and powerful piece of music and all the human emotions this song encapsulates in 6 minutes and 17 seconds.
Amidst the poetry, the musical composition, arrangement and production of this record, I think I figured out what it is about this song that I keep coming back to. It’s that one simple line. Simple, yet carries tremendous weight:
We’ll be alright.
A reminder that, amidst all the chaos, heartaches, quiet sufferings, internal battles with personal demons and deafening noise from the outside world, if you soldier on, you will find relief. A sense of freedom. It’ll be alright.
We’ll be alright.
