âFavouriteâ by Fontaines D.C.
in the context of songs that Harry and Louis have written or covered.
According to its Wiki page, "Favourite" was described by the band's frontman Grian Chatten as having "this never-ending sound to it, a continuous cycle from euphoria to sadness, two worlds spinning forever", and the music video is "a reminiscing of the past; of each otherâs childhoods we didnât know. To see people we know on an intimate level as adults in the tender ages of childhood, we explore where we came from, and who on some level, still are."
The song relates to the following themes:
interchangeability of good and bad times
feelings and relationships stemming back to childhood
comparison of past and current feelings
dedication to one love, forever
And now let's compare some lyrics. I tried to stick to those that reflect the overall theme of the song accurately enough, so this is more of an invitation to observe the songs in full and compare the vibes.
Favourite, Fontaines D.C.

And days spent playing football indoorsâ
âYou been my favourite for a long timeâ

âWe were only kids, just tryna work it outâ
âWaving to the hard timesâ

Sunflower, Vol. 6, Harry Styles:
âYour flowers just died
Plant new seeds in the melodyâ
âI couldn't want you any more
Kids in the kitchen listen to dance hallâ

âI've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get olderâ

âWe were lucky once, could be lucky again
I'm a hard man to find, but you figured it out
And I love you for thatâ

âDamn the dark, damn the lightâ
âYou would never break the chainâ
All Along, Louis Tomlinson:
âWere young and I was so naive
But in my head, that's how it had to beâ
âIt was you all alongâ

Keep Driving, Harry Styles:
We held darkness in withheld clouds
I would ask, "Should we just keep driving?"
All This Time, Louis Tomlinson:
âOh, sometimes, sometimes, you lose your hopeâ
âThe love it takes Is worth, is worth, is worth it all this timeâ
A couple has been together for a long time, possibly since childhood or very young years
They have endured many troubles and changes to themselves and their relationship
They remain deeply in love and commited to each other for eternity
So, to quote the great Louis Tomlinson, do you see what I see?
Conclusion: Louis and Harry are a pair of lovesick saps and are so obviously together it's crazy
P.S. the order is really random, so I'm sorry for that. I took the most obvious songs that I could remember, even though a lot more juicy stuff can be found in their playlists like Harry's mixtape and Louis' 28 songs, but I don't remember them quite as well. Also, this is the first piece of original content that I'm posting on Tumblr, so. There goes.
