Harry & Louis talking through songs.

Beautiful War vs Where Do Broken Hearts Go

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Many are the coincidences & inspirations obtained from this novel that can be seen around Harry & Louis, especially recently. Come and let yourself look through the rabbit hole, this time literally.

The author-name

Lou, Louis, Lewis... Jenny Lewis... Lewis Carroll...

Queer vs Peculiar

In Alice in Wonderland, everything is described as "queer", which meant to be odd or strange to the late 1800s readers; until the early 1900s, when queer was beginning to be used to address a person's sexuality as being gay or lesbian.

Having that in mind "peculiar" is just taken literally, but also can be used to refer to someone's sexuality too, as in Adore You & it's “peculiar” boy

Painting white roses red

The rose and the dagger, the roses... always the roses, so they would catch out attention easily. In AIW the representation of two sides confronting a battle and how this metaphor was brought into LOT & AFHF.

Harry wore roses on 5 different occasions During LOT: white, red, black & green. Also did Louis in his green customized shirt for FAFHF (Aug 21) & during his 28 programme customized on World Tour 2022.

“Eat me”

Psychotropics are something extra to be considered present in many ways in this novel. Giving Alice sometimes the "little push" she needed to get out of certain situations.

From the beginning of Fineline, we find several stories related to psychotropics such as that time when Harry bit his tongue under the effects of shrooms while composing sessions. It's not a new topic to be related to AIW nor Fineline, plus Sunflower live had hippie vibes sounds & aesthetic.

Who does the pig represent?

The Pig Baby appeared in The Duchess's house as her baby. for some minutes Alice was also its nanny. It is a baby that constantly howls and sneezes because of the pepper. Once Alice takes the baby inside, it turns into a pig.

Eroda’s fisherman pub: “The only rule of the bar? Don't mention a pig in the pub.”

This baby pig was almost unnoticeable for me because it doesn't appear in Disney's version seen many times during my childhood but gained relevance by linking it to the boys once I reread the novel.

Who are you?

“Who are you?” said the Caterpillar. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I—I hardly know, Sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then"

Fineline is a self-discovery and inner look into who Harry is. He carefully chose his slogan "do you know who you are?" while still teasing on the unreleased album and end up answering every night on tour "When I am in front of you I do" o "now I do".

👉🏼Gender Fluid Journey

Love makes the world go around

`'Tis so,' said the Duchess: `and the moral of that is — "Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go round!"' `Somebody said,' Alice whispered, `that it's done by everybody minding their own business!'

Every night Harry explained to his audience how the new 360 stage design worked: face vs arse. Fans literally danced around him.

The fish

“No wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise." "Wouldn't it, really?" said Alice, in a tone of great surprise. "Of course not," said the Mock Turtle. "Why, if a fish came to me, and told me he was going on a journey, I should say 'With what porpoise?”

Harry talked about "a special fish" in Adore You during the secret sessions for fans in NYC back in 2019, he let the fish go for good at the end of the mv, for 1 year, now we know it has a specific purpose.

Queen's croquet game

“the croquet balls were live hedgehogs and the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches”. Alice has a difficult time breaking from her preconceived notions and adjusting to life in Wonderland, this echoes Carroll’s sentiment that everything in Wonderland is absurd and feels like some sort of cruel game.

We have seen Harry playing golf 7 times during LOT... what a curious number: 7 times.

Alice through the looking glass

I have to look deeper into this second part of the novel, but the first link to it is already interesting having in mind the situation Harry is rumored to be in.

The story starts with how Alice is promised, that she will become a queen once the promotion takes place — for that to happen she must advance, step by step, to the eighth rank in the chess game.

We have seen the chess game in Harry's game and recently in Louis's shirt in his WT22 European leg at Copenhagen.

As It Was

On April 1st this song & video was released. It is fair to say that both are not direct & simple representations of each other, however, I recognize how time & motion are key elements in both. How one's inner path can entail different stages, mean evolution & growth, trying to understand their role in a world that keeps spinning and taking them to the same places being a different version of themselves.

LOVE ON TOUR II

The queen of hearts ♥️

As a ruler of Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts is the character that Alice must inevitable face to figure out the puzzle of Wonderland. In a sense, the Queen of Hearts is literally the heart of Alice's conflict.

FLOWERS STORY🌹🥀

LOVE ON TOUR

The welcome pack

Jenny Lewis

Lewis Carroll

Bright green custom made shirt FAFHF

The roses fairy tales

Harry has worn printed clothing pieces with flowers on nights 13, 17, 27 & 32. Going from white to red, and from red to black.

The Rose: is a love and confidentiality representation. From latin ”sub rosa” under the rose, is something told by secret.

White: purity & innocence. Red: passion & violence.

Painting white roses for red: Putting a spin on the truth, for covering up unpleasant realities.

“Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss, we’re doing our best, afore she comes…” - Alice in Wonderland

Black: In reality they doesn’t exist– most are very dark shades of purple or red. They have many symbolisms power, mystery, farewell, goodbye, hatred, death, and despair… non of them very flattering, but for sure mark of an inflection point.

————————

The Metaphor

Looking into the British history there is a specific moment where red and white roses are remarkable, adding the punishment for preferring the wrong one side and as seen in Alice: the war of the roses.

The facts: 2 families (The House of York and The House of Lancaster) fights for the throne: the Yorkists used a white rose as emblem and the Lancastrians a red rose.

FAR AWAY FROM HOME

Louis used this Yorkshire rose figure on his custom made shirt for FAFHF.

That day his choice of including “Beautiful war” in his playlist is interesting too to this matter, since it covers a “love worth to fight for” a battle story: “ it don't mean nothing, Unless there's something worth fighting for”. Them fighting. Also, considering that the main character in this song mv is in prison (again, such as in Papillon & Fly away from home (AIMH) which are strong icons to this relationship) is a metaphor that the boys keep on delivering through codes constantly.

So having in mind these ideas, that both Harry and Louis are addressing:

The take

This is about Lewis Louis & custom made green shirt Harry

The truth is being hidden, pretending.

There are battles going on, their cause is LOVE.

There are clear sides faced in this.

Feeling in prison again (closeted) being innocent

Time for farewell or saying goodbye has come. Or a synonym for change.

What is different this time?? are they changing things??

This wonderful group of Larries got to chat with Charlie Lightening before the Dallas concert started and he shared how Louis organized all FAFHF by himself. In every sense of the word.

Louis created this moment for his fans as a gift but it implied way much more, this man is a MASTERMIND! Please, read 📖
