Harry Styles & Sam McCarthy and Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
Finally back today, after a couple of days of being out and about. I want to go ahead and say right now I apologize for not keeping up with posting every day, but just a heads up, I may not be able to consistently keep up with posting every day. But I will definitely try my best! But today I have some music for you that comes from a famous singer, both because of his work with a boy band, but also because his debut album dropped earlier this year. And despite the fame and fortune, I have to admit I really do like this singer and how he has evolved his personal sound over time.
Harry Styles is most notable for his involvement with One Direction, a group who supposedly is hitting the studio again (more on this later). I had found this song by him a while ago, however, I stumbled upon it again while I was shuffling through some of my old music. This song is with just him and no other band members. And it is absolutely lovely. This song showcases a completely different side of Harry Styles and exhibits his vocal capabilities. From what we have heard, Harry Styles is vocally adept and can manage multiple genres. This genre style is something that I have heard more throughout One Direction's latest album and is a sound that I feel suits Harry Styles' voice very well.
This song is full of real vulnerability and almost a sad pain. The lyrics are very sweet and more emotional than I would have thought. When I first heard this song, it was the kind of song that I imagined Harry Styles would sing if he ever went solo. And look where we are today! It is a bit heart-wrenching, sweet, a little indie and even has a little bit of rock thrown in there. Harry Styles does approach this song with a little bit of a rock influence in his voice, but a lot of the soft rock we hear in this song comes from the featured artist Sam McCarthy.
Sam McCarthyt is one of the members of the band Kids of 88, an indietronica and electronic pop band. That seems like a very differnet background when it comes to a song like this. However, these two artists make for a very good collaboration because they come from different worlds of music. One comes from the world of worldwide fame, pop tunes, and things that are meant to appeal mainly to the adolescent female. However, the other brings in the vibe of a small scale band that covers more genres and has a very unique sound to it. Harry Styles has a voice that is drenched in a sultry rasp which he has really learned how to use. He also has a voice that can be full of genuine sadness and vulnerability, and when you listen to his voice in this song, it makes you feel that deep melancholy.
Sam McCarthy has a higher pitched voice and spends more time providing the harmonies, whether that be in falsetto or not, than Harry Styles does. Because these two cover all ends of the spectrum, they have been able to successfully combine their voices to harmonize with one another. Another great thing about this song is that Harry Styles wrote these lyrics on his own. A lot of other artists have songwriters for them, but this song is entirely his words. His words are put to the music composed by Sam McCarthy and it makes for an exquisitely sad but romantic song. I have to applaud Sam McCarthy's musical skills because he composed this as a song that people can listen to, and feel a multitude of emotion; but, it is also a song that is not lacking in drive. This song can mean different things to different people and that is what makes it so beautiful.
Today's instrumental song is from the movie Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. This is one of the most emotional moments in the entirety of the Harry Potter franchise and is also a climactic moment in the series. A moment such as this is clearly expressed in the raw pain that this piece exhibits. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
