A note on this analysis: I personally don’t think it’s fair or necessary to speculate or scrutinise anyone’s sexuality, and so I will not use this platform to do so. All evidence used in this video is based on things Harry Styles has spoken about publicly, but remember that he has never ever labelled his sexuality. Since he has intentionally chosen to avoid labels, this video does not assign any. I hope you enjoy the video and check out the other video I uploaded on the books he has recommended! :)
i loved it!! your videos are really interesting and fun to watch and it's clear all the effort and dedication you put in them. thank you for this one (and the taylor swift one too)💗
JADE LMAO ONE OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS GAVE HARRY THE WASTELAND AT THE PARIS LISTENING PARTY 😭😭 I'm gonna sens her the vidéo she's gonna freakkkk outtttt (it's Mathilde hehe from paristudying)
Hozier has drawn a lot of inspiration from literature and poetry too, maybe it would be nice to check him out, I would love to understand more about his music
You should consider a career in teaching. That passion, knowledge and ability to explain complex theories to idiots like me should not go unused! Fascinating.
I can’t agree more! Please teach- you are charismatic and funny and you speak fast- which I enjoy. Too bad most people don’t end up teaching the olds - but thank you for the lessons 😉
It's such a shook to see how everyone is surprised by how well read Harry is. And maybe this is the old in me and many of you don't know because you were so little but when Harry auditioned for the X factor he said he "worked on a bakery and wanted to be an English student". So had he not been in One Direction, he would've been the hot English sub at your school. Any way this video is pure art and I'm loving every minute of this, thank you for the dedication Jack!
i feel like i remember him saying in an interview somewhere that he didn’t used to read a lot of books until someone that he was seeing (presumably camille) gave him books to read and he wanted to impress her? or something along those lines, i don’t remember the exact quote lol
@@pohia hmmm I wonder what interview that was I never heard him say that in any interview but I doubt it would be camille though, it seems he's been really into reading books before he even met her...
@@melatrude4269 i just looked it up! he said this in his rolling stone interview: “Reading didn’t really used to be my thing. I had such a short attention span. But I was dating someone who gave me some books; I felt like I had to read them because she’d think I was a dummy if I didn’t read them.” i just assumed it was camille but it definitely could’ve been someone else.
@@jack_edwards dude, I bumped into your video by pure coincidence and now I'm actually considering becoming a literature student. You inspire me. Love from Brazil.
Two well-read and fashionable men talking about the novels which inspired their artistry and passion would be a divine watch. If Jack Edwards does become a TV presenter in the future and is able to do interviews, then Harry Styles must be at the top of his guest list. Poems, novels, fashion, books and men are topics on many peoples tongues as we talk toxic and fragile masculinity in the current climate. “Bring back manly men” said Candace Owens. “Fuck that” said Jack, Harry and I. Toxic masculinity exists as it has an emphasis on the heteronormative cishet white male culture that has been indoctrinated within us for generations. If you have an effeminate energy, it does not mean your masculinity is toxic; it does not mean you are less male - it just means you are comfortable to not live in the societal brackets formed for us that try to break us down as individuals everyday. Wear a dress and be a man, do whatever the fuck you want! In the words of Ewan McGregor as Mark Renton from Trainspotting: 1,000 years from now there will be no guys and no girls, just wankers. Sounds great to me.
@@toyaleigh916 I don’t know why this has so many likes stream better man - the courteeners to get the same message as this in a three and a half minute song lol
The fact that Harry is so well-read, but keeps it to himself in a way until he writes and sings it out makes him even more of someone worth looking up to, as if his whole existence wasn't a gift for us.😍 Thanks Jack for the investigation and for making me appreciate this human even more than I thought it was possible.
I never comment on youtube videos but this one deserves the exception. I came for Harry Styles and stayed because of your incredible idea and amazing analysis. You were so excited about the topic, it made me super excited as well. I loved watching every second of it.
Im a STEM student and a massive harry stan and this was genuinely so helpful and interesting!! I dont really tend to dig into lyrics to songs as much as I would like to so this was awesome! Really enjoyed it :)
Jack when I'm telling you Directioners are gonna be so grateful you made this video, you best believe it. I've been one for 9 years now so I know what I'm talking about.
"Hello friends, so ... it is no secret by now that I am a Harry Styles Stan. I'm proud. I'm also an english literature graduate." 11 seconds into the video and I already want you as my best friend
dear lord this video is a pure gem. let's appreciate - the time you spent doing it. we can clearly see the amount of researches you've done and i respect that so much - HARRY'S MIND like omg this man has awesome references and everything he does has so much meaning and i love that there are only a few brilliant people like you to understand it - the pearl necklace. Jake you're the only person who can rock a pearl necklace like Harry does. - you're SO FUNNY and you make it sound so interesting, and we can see how passionnate you are in what you do, you make me wanna learn so much more about poetry than all my literature teachers combined did. anyways this video is awesome, and so underrated (just imagine Harry seeing this wow i kinda wish). i'll subscribe right now, you have my full support (Jack marry me pls)
Omg this is literally one of the best things I've seen on the internet. I'm a huge Harry fan so I found this, both Harry's brain and yours are so juicy.
i’m a harry styles fan and an english lit. graduate too! that’s why harry’s songs are beautiful because he read so many literary works, also HIS BRAIN 😭
ahhh I’m studying othello at the moment and I thought that maybe that part might have been inspiration for Harry’s song and I’m so glad I’m not the only one thinking that
So i discovered Jack's channel one night when I was panicking over UCAS and exams and kinda fell into a procrastination spiral, it's 20:14 on the 2nd Dec 2020. My UCAS is due in January and I still haven't started but I'll happily wait 46 minutes until this video premieres because that's how it b sometimes :)
Can I just say I was screeeeching during this video over how happy it made me to see so many references to some of my favourite artists and writers that I somehow didn't manage to spot first time around. This is just about my favourite youtube video right now.
I read the title as "the poetry that inspired harry potter's music" and was slightly confused, but ready to hear about how the soundtrack of a movie was based off of poetry. my brain cells are really working overtime rn
I thought it was interesting that in both the poem "the wait" and the passage from Othello, the metaphor of picking kisses (like picking flowers) is used
16:22 you highlight similar lines in sweet creature , sign of the times and meet me in the hallway. Harry has said on record that sign of the times is about a mother losing a child at birth, which makes sign of the times a rather family oriented or platonic song. The use of similar lines with the theme of not speaking enough is also there in sweet creature. This could suggest sweet creature is also a platonic premise song. Loved this analysis. It was so satisfying. TPWK. xx
finally i found a video who would go deep into harry’s songs 😭😭 thank you for your hardwork to explain it to all of us i loved it so much! i really love musicians talking about how they wrote their songs and it’s even more amazing that people like you do that 💖💖 you’re amazing!
Okay this might be my FAVOURITE video to ever exist. A video encompassing jack edwards, English lit and his royal highness Harry styles?? Sign me the fuck up!!✨🌈
this video is utterly perfect and i loved all the details about sweet creature. just a quick note: i totally understand what you say about sc sounding platonic and the line “two hearts one home”. but being someone who believes that song is about his relationship with louis tomlinson (either thats platonic or not) i think that would make sense since they lived together for quite some time. loved this video can’t wait for the next one
Just, completely besides the actual content presented; I love your way of going about explaining specific lines and influences and that you take the time to explain certain vocabulary such as “verisimilitude”. I feel really educated and entertained at the same time and my literature-heart is absolutely tearing with joy!
omg this might be my favourite video of yours, Jack! Please make more videos like this one, use your degree for interesting and fun things like this!! As a film student it's very interesting to see how you analyse poetry and literature. I want to work on book to film adaptations, when I'm done with my degree :)
okay ive been watching this channel for years but i dont think ive ever truly appreciate how accessible and understandable jack makes concepts of literature
The love for the Humanities is strong with Jack. It's great to see someone so engrossed in a field they love and sharing it with the world, especially if it is an underrated field. I myself am engrossed in Latin this semester and I think people are starting to get sick of me speaking about Latin :P Also, if someone bothers you while you read and you wanna confuse them... Just say "lego", which is Latin for "I am reading". *stops nerding out*
MY MIND IS BLOWN Also.. JACK, YOUR NECKLACE 👏🏻 (I can‘t help it tho, most of the things that you relate to Camille, I felt alluded more to Louis.. don’t come at me!! Harry himself stated multiple times that his music is open for interpretation) tpwk 🕺🏻💙
I LOVE how accessible your videos are! I feel live anyone could watch and understand these because you explain and give definitions so precisely! You're brilliant
Firstly, I love the insight you’ve given into this interesting topic. But also.... I LOVE the pearls you’re wearing in this, it feels very Harry appropriate ✨
I hope you meet Harry Styles in one of the post pandemic days, I would love to see that interaction. Also, I suppose that you both could write a song together and it would be a masterpiece of poem references. All the best :-) TPWK.
Im really impressed with the effort and quality of your videos and more specifically these most recent videos about Harry and you taking the time to read all these books. WOW💗💗
Finally the kind of content I've been looking for! Can't wait to hear you talk about Murakami's influence on our pal Harry in your novel video - one of my favourite authors and one of my favourite musicians.
ok can i just say U R AN ANGEL, THANK U! i clicked on this video cuz i saw harry styles, but i stayed because i learnt so much from this video. this is actually so sooo helpful so thank u so much!:)💖
Thank you so much for making this video, my month has also vanished thanks to the depth of Harry Styles' references (and the people around him) and I have barely touched literature. It's ridiculous and I'm in a deep deep hole finding more stuff every day. I think he leaves a deep impact wherever he goes, both on himself and others, and he's not shy to take inspiration from those who have impacted him. Anyway, I just wanted to touch upon Sweet Creature, I understand not wanting to speculate about anyone's sexuality but I doubt it's meant to be platonic and about a family member. He referenced both *that* Othello verse AND he song is ridiculously similar to a soundtrack from Brokeback Mountain (called "sun"). It's not the only song, also From The Dining Table is similar to another Brokeback Mountain one (I think it's the main soundtrack), although something in those songs make me think they're not about the same person. Either way, with Sweet Creature, I'm more comfortable speculating it might have to do with a boy instead of a family member.
I LOVE THIS!! I was just a wee teen when I stanned One Direction and truly felt like I matured with them. I just started reading books and poetry on my own so these def go to my reading list. Such a great video! You are a joy to watch 😊 Keep doing what you're doing!
Being a fellow literary student and Harry Styles fan, I loved this video so much! Such a deep analysis on the link between Harry and literature is quite rare on the internet so thank you for that! Looks like I have so Bukowski to read haha
I cant, I watched ur eng lang videos for gcse help and I am a HUGE harry stan and figuring out this video was made my you is BLOWIN MY MIND AHAHHA I LOVE THIS SM
Well done, Jack. I'm an old man, who is not knowledgeable about pop songs but I do like Harry very much in interviews and brief video clips of concerts. I can see how these influences have also had a part of play in Harry's gender fluidity and ambiguous sexuality/non-binary sexuality. I welcome his influences and your literary search for those influences.
this is the first video i see of you and also my most favorite genre of the whole internet. Your voice, harry styles, books and art/artistry. Heaven came down today thank you for this
I'm absolutely in AWE of Jack's knowledge- I want to be able to that with literature!!! But also obviously in awe with Harry too but I feel like that goes without saying.
Randomly came across your channel after looking voor Harry videos and completely blown away by your videos, research, clarity and passion. I love Harry but his fandom is sometimes a bit overwhelming and crazy so I loved this take on his music based on literature instead of gossip.
A note on this analysis: I personally don’t think it’s fair or necessary to speculate or scrutinise anyone’s sexuality, and so I will not use this platform to do so. All evidence used in this video is based on things Harry Styles has spoken about publicly, but remember that he has never ever labelled his sexuality. Since he has intentionally chosen to avoid labels, this video does not assign any. I hope you enjoy the video and check out the other video I uploaded on the books he has recommended! :)
Love this
I love youuuu
this was amazing and so interesting ! thank you for taking the time for doing this and for respecting harry more than all
i loved it!! your videos are really interesting and fun to watch and it's clear all the effort and dedication you put in them. thank you for this one (and the taylor swift one too)💗
I love this video im so glad you are not larry baiter .you respect harry love you. I subscribed your channel btw. god bless you
He just made the "In this essay I will-" of the century👌
Hahahahahahahaha omg
"i don't know if im just reading too deep into things BUT" isn't that just english lit. graduates in a nutshell
Any English degree graduates at all, really
Overthinkers in a nutshell. 🤡
If you study any literature, any art, it is going to be a recurring concern 😅 As a comparative lit and film and tv grad I am talking from experience.
I came for Harry Styles, I stayed for the English revision lesson
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
Hi Jade!
omg jade you like harry too?
JADE LMAO ONE OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS GAVE HARRY THE WASTELAND AT THE PARIS LISTENING PARTY 😭😭 I'm gonna sens her the vidéo she's gonna freakkkk outtttt (it's Mathilde hehe from paristudying)
I was on my way towards the comments bc i wanted to say that he has the same kinda vibe of you, Jade. And then you already saw it, i liked that :)
Aww jadeeee
Hozier has drawn a lot of inspiration from literature and poetry too, maybe it would be nice to check him out, I would love to understand more about his music
Yessss!!! And I love how much he loves sharing poetry. When he does the Instagram Lives it’s awesome
OMG YESS
YESSSSSSSS
yesssss pls make him see this
Meeeeeeee toooooo ! 🙏🏼
Sir you gave yourself an assignment and you got an A+.
Omg. 😂
A* my love
well, guess who ignores her English literature assignment just to watch English literature graduate talking about poetry :) it's me:,)
lol literally me
+1
And me who has a figures of speech exam in 30 minutes:)
Yup
HAHAHA ME
I'm a simple man, I see Harry Styles, I click on the video
“i don’t know if i’m reading too deeply into things, but”
*every literature student ever* (myself included)
The effort that goes into these vids is unbelievable - dedicating a month to one vid! woah
Absolutely. 🥺
I just learned more literature from you than 3 months in ap lit
You should consider a career in teaching. That passion, knowledge and ability to explain complex theories to idiots like me should not go unused! Fascinating.
Completely agree!!
I can’t agree more! Please teach- you are charismatic and funny and you speak fast- which I enjoy. Too bad most people don’t end up teaching the olds - but thank you for the lessons 😉
Bukowski once said "Baby, I said, I'm a genius but nobody knows it but me." that is literally what harry styles does
I am absolutely obsessed with the fact that jack is getting to flex his English lit knowledge and skills
As he should. 🥺
It's such a shook to see how everyone is surprised by how well read Harry is. And maybe this is the old in me and many of you don't know because you were so little but when Harry auditioned for the X factor he said he "worked on a bakery and wanted to be an English student".

He said he was going to college to read law, sociology, business and something else he hadn't decided on. Never mentioned English.

Came for Harry, definitely staying for you
There he is! My two favourite white boys!
When a girl tries to explain she is Harry Styles' biggest fan, I will just show her this video and say you're not the biggest fan.
this girl : I am the biggest fan of HS *proceeds to show an erotic fanfic of HS on wattpad*
Tell me I'm wrong. I'll wait 😂
i can't tell you how incredibly excited I am for this video. Harry Styles and Jack Edwards??? Could there be a better duo?
I just want you to know I watched this with my undivided attention
This was perfect timing! Who else got Harry Styles on their Spotify Wrapped?
my #1 artist obvi
He was in my top 5. Only behind Lady Gaga, David Bowie, and the Beatles.
I've never listened to Harry Styles's music before but this video just convinced me to go and listen to Fine Line, and damn it's good.
this video was absolutely EXCEPTIONAL
Absolutely!
Do more literary videos Jack, clearly everyone is loving this.
We stan this sorta content.
Yes please!
And this is why he has a first class literature degree
I never comment on youtube videos but this one deserves the exception. I came for Harry Styles and stayed because of your incredible idea and amazing analysis. You were so excited about the topic, it made me super excited as well. I loved watching every second of it.
Im a STEM student and a massive harry stan and this was genuinely so helpful and interesting!! I dont really tend to dig into lyrics to songs as much as I would like to so this was awesome! Really enjoyed it :)
forget the masters, someone just give this man a phd already because he's contributed to global knowledge with this 🙌
a jack video about harry is something I didn't know I needed
i will never hear "sweeeeet creature" with the same innocence and obliviousness again
Jack when I'm telling you Directioners are gonna be so grateful you made this video, you best believe it. I've been one for 9 years now so I know what I'm talking about.
"Hello friends, so ... it is no secret by now that I am a Harry Styles Stan. I'm proud. I'm also an english literature graduate." 11 seconds into the video and I already want you as my best friend
The way you talk about literature always clarifies that I have chosen the right degree
me: a harry styles/1d stan & a English lit major
IVE NEVER CLICKED FASTER
SO TRUE!!!

How to fangirl AND educate oneself at the same time 👌
I've been waiting for this one! TURN IT UP!!

I love it when StudyTubers educate us in videos like this.
finally i found a video who would go deep into harry’s songs 😭😭 thank you for your hardwork to explain it to all of us i loved it so much! i really love musicians talking about how they wrote their songs and it’s even more amazing that people like you do that 💖💖 you’re amazing!

The love for the Humanities is strong with Jack. It's great to see someone so engrossed in a field they love and sharing it with the world, especially if it is an underrated field. I myself am engrossed in Latin this semester and I think people are starting to get sick of me speaking about Latin :P
Also, if someone bothers you while you read and you wanna confuse them... Just say "lego", which is Latin for "I am reading". *stops nerding out*
This needs to blow up, this is amazing - this is just adding to the list of reasons I wish I studied English lit.
MY MIND IS BLOWN
Also.. JACK, YOUR NECKLACE 👏🏻

This should've been your thesis. ✨IMMACULATE ✨ vibes
Firstly, I love the insight you’ve given into this interesting topic. But also.... I LOVE the pearls you’re wearing in this, it feels very Harry appropriate ✨

i’m so unbelievably glad this showed up on my recommended i will now watch ever video u have ever made
The effort in this video is insane! Thanks Jack :)
Finally the kind of content I've been looking for! Can't wait to hear you talk about Murakami's influence on our pal Harry in your novel video - one of my favourite authors and one of my favourite musicians.
Someone give Jack a job - what a star.
This is incredible! The research for one video is amazing, and I didn't think it was possible but this made me love Harry Styles even more
ok can i just say U R AN ANGEL, THANK U! i clicked on this video cuz i saw harry styles, but i stayed because i learnt so much from this video. this is actually so sooo helpful so thank u so much!:)💖

It's 2 am where I live I've got my math exam later and I cannot explain how glad I am to see Harry Styles in a Jack Edward's video. Thank you Jack!
Hope it went well.. sigh
Ahhh this literary analysis is incredible!!! Adds so much depth and appreciation for music that we already attach so much meaning to! 💗✨
i need to read some of this poetry, it sounds so good
I cant, I watched ur eng lang videos for gcse help and I am a HUGE harry stan and figuring out this video was made my you is BLOWIN MY MIND AHAHHA I LOVE THIS SM
Well done, Jack. I'm an old man, who is not knowledgeable about pop songs but I do like Harry very much in interviews and brief video clips of concerts. I can see how these influences have also had a part of play in Harry's gender fluidity and ambiguous sexuality/non-binary sexuality. I welcome his influences and your literary search for those influences.
this is the first video i see of you and also my most favorite genre of the whole internet. Your voice, harry styles, books and art/artistry. Heaven came down today thank you for this
I'm absolutely in AWE of Jack's knowledge- I want to be able to that with literature!!! But also obviously in awe with Harry too but I feel like that goes without saying.
Randomly came across your channel after looking voor Harry videos and completely blown away by your videos, research, clarity and passion. I love Harry but his fandom is sometimes a bit overwhelming and crazy so I loved this take on his music based on literature instead of gossip.
