Video Editor Reacts to Harry Styles - Adore You (Extended Version)

[@tom_j.]

Eroda is Adore backwards, we were all trying to figure out if it was a real place before this video came out💀🤡

[@pamela483]

this is simply one of his best music videos, his team wanted “eroda” to be a planet but he said “hold up” lmao and chose the island idea best. at the beginning, when he puts rocks into his pockets means he wants to end it all- after feeling excluded and starting to hate himself. in the past, putting rocks in your pocket to do that, was commonly a way that people used so the body didn’t rised from the water for a while. while thinking about that, he found someone/someone that gave him the motivation to heal and keep going. he starts trying new things, and finds a reason to not leave. at the end, he has to let it go, meaning that sometimes we find things and people in our life, that are meant to show us the way, and sadly, we have to let them go so we can choose your own path. him using his screams so the boat starts moving, symbolizing using your pain as a fuel to keep going, heal and move forward. (little side story that’s also happening: a man finds one of the bottles harry once threw, and that led him to meet a woman, and at the end they get married. they symbolize two of his best friends and members of his band, mitch (guitarist) and sarah (drummer) they met in 2017 because of him, fell in love and now they have a child together!)

Yes, this is a very meaningful video, done brilliantly. This should have won best video! The song is also amazing. Harry sang it powerfully.

[@megchurch977]

His team created an entire lead up to this release, created the island and Easter eggs along the way. Filmed in Scotland, I believe. You do a great job explaining the technical bits and are still able to enjoy the music and follow the stories in his videos. I would vote for Sign of the Times, his first, to be next

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. It’s so much fun watching these! Is Sign of the Times his first music video?

It’s a fantastic video but the live version on Graham Norton is phenomenal. Brilliant video to react to though !

I love that and it's great that Harry has the budget to present himself exaztly as he likes. He's truly very creative and clearly good at finding a creative team that can tell a great story

[@laurendecarlo7559]

There is a book that Harry used for this song/video. It’s called Louis the fish!

[@pippi2647]

interesting.

[@chijunho]

It's a Scottish town called St Abbs, 50 miles south of Edinburgh, capital of Scotland. Marvel's Endgame was also filmed here as the village of New Asgard.

[@suvijii841]

"Maybe his friend just outgrew the place he was at" pretty much nails the whole story behind this. People don't talk about this but I think it's quite obvious, and 100% sure relates to his own life and experiences. Since I don't want any angry conspiracy theorists jumping on me, I'll just leave it at that. Adore You is my favorite Harry song, and I'm so happy that someone actually respects all the work he's put in this. He IS a very good actor, he's just undermined because of his boyband background. I hope he'll continue in acting, too.

[@manesm1622]

Que terrible que no podamos decir lo que creemos porque sabemos que algunas de sus "fans" dirán algo en contra. 🤦‍♀️ es tan infantil.

that would tie in with the lyrics for Change that he wrote for/with Cam

[@suvijii841]

@@misha-jz4yx I never heard that song & had to check it out.. and yeah, you're right!!

[@renataferreirapinto1796]

In the beggining the fish was trying to kill itself, just like Harry (with the stones in the pocket, he would try to drawn himself or at least it was what I understood about that), but he decides to help the fish and both of them ended up helping each other. Another thing that it's cool so think about it's that not only his voice makes the boat to move, like you said, but also his screams of frustration, like "do good things with the bad situations in your life", you know. Sorry if I said something wrong, English it's not my first language, I'm still learning. Thank you for the reaction!

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Thank you for this! That is a great pickup on the fish and Harry both trying to end it. It's truly an emotional video that was so well done! I appreciate you tuning in and watching!

[@esel7380]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but Treat People With Kindness is one of my favourite music videos of Harry's! It's very choreographed and doesn't really tell a story like the ones you've watched earlier. As It Was is definitely worth watching too! There are short behind the scenes videos to these two as well!

[@rebeccaw1428]

From this interview Harry said : “Adore You” is a modern pop ballad, and during his recent interview with ENTERCOM, Styles spoke about the story behind the track: “It's about that initial infatuation stage when you get that heavy feeling of just bliss, like a blissful, very joyous connection with someone.

[@TeriMartinez]

Again Golden will not disappoint! And Sign Of The Times!!! Happy Memorial Day Weekend! So glad you’re enjoying Harry!!! ❤

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Thank you so much! I am counting down the days to watch those! I’m excited! Happy Memorial Day weekend to you too!

[@TeriMartinez]

Also you should check out Zayn Malik! His band mate from 1D! He is soooo underrated! Phenomenal voice and has some crazy videos! I love “Better” & “Vibes”

[@TeriMartinez]

Zayn does Pillowtalk, which was huge a couple years ago on the radio! He’s definitely a vibe!!! Incredible range!!! will blow you away!

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

I enjoyed the detail. Don’t worry about whether we already know something … many of us don’t … and repetition wouldn’t hurt anyone.

Glad you were able to appreciate it, it's such a unique and stunning music video. I'd recommend As It Was for your next Harry adventure, it's full of art references, great editing, and just a very rewatchable experience as a whole.

I love your reaction!! ♡♡♡ Mr Harry Styles is very smart you see. Every time they asked him who the song was about? He simply replied, I really liked the fish.... His songs always mean so much more like you were saying. Thank you for doing his music. He's Amaizing!

[@kaz2529]

Someone said forget the conspiracy theories, No never! Harry's early song falling and adore you were written for his love. You need to talk to some fans Adore you is about a gold fish, (his love), who he had to let go, not stating any names, follow up Golden video where he goes looking for the fish, you need to know the full story. X

[@jennysouthern1355]

My fave bit is something tiny, literally only a second, but it’s when he goes to put the fish in the coffee part, and quickly taps the pot first to make sure it’s not hot, so as to not BOIL the fish. It’s just such a silly little moment, but I can imagine him finding himself really funny over it.

[@kitty-cee]

Oh you made my day!! ❤ I saw that too and tears came to my eyes, really. The slight touch, such a tender moment. And that is the Harry we've come to know and love.

[@xxShadowOfTheWolfxx]

Great reaction! Would love for you check out the rest of Harry's MVs, especially Lights Up and As it was Also, have you ever seen Panic! at the disco music videos? They had some great ones in their run and some very fun, artistic choices! Would love for you to give a Viva las Vengeance, This is Gospel or Ready to go a try! :) Main vocalst also has a song with Taylor called ME!, this one is fun as well

[@antoniovera667]

Wow that meaning of the voice in the jar was great, thanks i never thought that...He came from One Direction...so ...

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Hello! Thank you for watching!! I’m adding it to the list now!!

[@andreak.5996]

Loved the reaction. Haven't seen it mentioned in other comments, so I'll say it. I always thought the "him going out on his own" is symbolizing going solo from 1D as there is a shot of 3 people standing on the pier (whom he left behind). And yes, he is doing that by his own voice that's a very good point I didn't think of before. This one is really self-explanatory 😅 But he never really explains the meaning behind anything / there are a ton of fan theories that have no real grounds. Harry usually lets everyone draw their own conclusions from the music and the videos as well. Let's everyone have a narrative they create in their head so we'll never know. p.s. if you're interested in more mini-movies as music videos I'd highly recommend zayn's. Not all of them, but some of them should tell a "story" throughout. I'm not quite sure about the chronological order (they didn't come out linearly) but it should be: Sour Diesel, Dusk TIll Down, Entertainer, and Let Me. Maybe I left out something, this is the one I remember and the research I didn't lead me anywhere useful 😂😂

[@Videoeditorreacts]

That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing that and watching! I look forward to checking those out! Thank you again!

[@andreak.5996]

@@Videoeditorreacts It's okay ☺ I'm always excited to watch people fall in love with Harry, his music, and his videos. Especially if it's a quality reaction with great insight (unfortunately not all of them are so I like to encourage the ones that I enjoy watching). He's very talented and creative and knows exactly what and how he wants to do his thing. I'd recommend checking him out live as well, he and his band sound amazing, but it's not really aligning with the format of your channel, so just do it in your own time maybe? It's really worth it.

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I can tell he really cares about his craft. I’ll probably do that in the future for sure!!

Mainly filmed in St Abbs, Scotland. St Abbs was also New Asgard in Avengers Endgame and also Link (staring Elizabeth Shue and Terrance Stamp). The closed off the harbour over about four days. Featured some locals as extras and used a local sailing boat called Jules for Harry to away to the land of watermelon sugar. Some of the scene not starring Harry styles were filmed at Cockenzie and Portseton.

Thanks for breaking down this video - I love learning new things. As far as what next, I'd say any are good. Sign of the Times is the first and, in my opinion, you can sort of tell as there are some things i think were missed/could have changed, but is still really very beautiful. Thank you again!

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Thank you so much! Can’t wait to dig into that video!

[@SV-nk2we]

I loved your interpretation. I found your insight very interesting as well. Harry is super talented and I believe his short films and videos have personal meaning but he also allows the viewer to have their own interpretation. It's up to the viewer to decide. I always felt that it was a story about his time in 1D. The thing about boy/girl bands is that its hard to break out as a solo act. Rarely are you as successful and we know by how successful 1D was that it would be difficult. However, Harry is the rare gem that managed to not only break out of that bubble but he catapulted to another world. He is in his element being free to be himself and create. At the same time I sometimes think the fish represents Zayne, his 1D bandmate. Zayne left because he wasn't happy and felt smothered. Harry had to of watched him outgrow his environment and maybe he and the other guys had a hand in letting him leave the band, out of love. It hurt but in turn it gave him his own purpose in life.

[@kitty-cee]

Imo, zayn was never very happy in 1D. Sure, he had the good looks and great voice range, but didn't seem completely invested in the band/bond group. I'm sure he enjoyed the fame and travel and did earn his fortune, but I feel he wanted more. He left saying he wanted to be the first to go solo. 'pillow talk' is no Eroda-style experience.

[@easyveganfoodie]

This is one of my favorite music videos but for some reason I didn’t know the extended version existed! I just watched it along with you and it really pulls the story together and fills in the gaps from the cut down version.

I think this is the same location, or at least the village, as New Asgard in Avenger Endgame. In the Golden music video, there's a fish eye lens and some fans think it's showing we, as the fans, are the fish and helped him with his struggles. Also loving the reaction snd explanations, it's really interesting. And the backpack, I have a key ring with that as the charm thingy.

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Whaaa? That’s so cool! That being the backpack key ring, the fisheye idea, and the New Asgard location pickup! Thank you so much for watching!

[@jennysouthern1355]

If you notice at the start, he is putting rocks in his pockets to weigh him down before he wades out into the water. But then the fish tries to do the same by beaching itself on the rock, and he ends up stopping to save the fish instead, and realises the fish is as lonely as he is, so he changes his mind…. And it was filmed in 3 locations in Scotland - St Abbs, Cockenzie, and Port Seton. The coastal shots are St Abbs, a small fishing village about an hour from Edinburgh. It is also where parts of Avengers: Endgame were filmed!

[@VincentA824]

Harry was the first in the band to bring up the idea of taking a break in 2014, he was out voted so stayed until his contract obligations were completed. At what point did he reference his choice to leave the band because Zayn had? They were headed for a break anyway, Niall said if the band had continued they’d of ended up killing each other, Liam said if he’d stayed in the band it would of killed him and Zayn said he didn’t speak to Harry when they were in the band so didn’t expect a relationship with him after leaving the band

@@VincentA824 Harry literally took care of Zayn on stage..was beside himself with how unwell Zayn was..brought him and only him water every night..opened the bottles and made sure he drank the water..he dropped the weigh from little things completely for months because Zayn was struggling and Zayn said things after he left to deflect from his close relationship with Harry..they were never close is absolutely NOT the truth..just watch any old performance..and Louis has even said they were ready to keep going but Harry wanted to stop and again watch his demeanor after Zayn left..he wanted out and that had everything to do with the fact that Zayn wasn't there anymore

[@VincentA824]

@@angelaades751 Yes Harry tried to support Zayn, but Zayn ended up hating the life and left. I don’t think Zayn said things to deflect from how close they were, I think all the relationships suffered under the stress and exhaustion, and Harry (and the others) were shocked when Zayn walked mid tour and had to regroup fast. Louis said in his recent documentary that he regrets in hindsight that they all started living separate lives in the band, traveling separately with their own separate friend groups and backstage areas, but at the time I think it was the only way they could continue to tolerate one another. In the first post 1D interview he gave Zayn talked about how bad the relationships had become amongst them all
