The singer had entered his grown-up phase with a glam-rock ballad written from the perspective of a worried parent. And with its release, a new version of Styles was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You Ain\u2019t Really Good<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Harry Styles - Sign of the Times (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qN4ooNx77u0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Styles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/feature\/harry-styles-new-direction-119432\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> \u201cSign Of The Times\u201d is written from a mother\u2019s perspective. \u201cAs if a mother was giving birth to a child and there\u2019s a complication. The mother is told, \u2018The child is fine, but you\u2019re not going to make it.\u2019 The mother has five minutes to tell the child, \u2018Go forth and conquer.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Just stop your crying,<br>It\u2019s a sign of the times.<br>Welcome to the final show,<br>Hope you\u2019re wearing your best clothes.<br>You can\u2019t bribe the door on your way to the sky,<br>You look pretty good down here,<br>But you ain\u2019t really good<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the song arrived in 2017, it entered a chaotic world. Since its release, chaos feels ever present. But Styles doesn\u2019t appear to be addressing larger political fights. Instead, he writes of a more localized, internal kindness that seems to have evaporated in an age when cruelty often gets rewarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If we never learn, we been here before,<br>Why are we always stuck and running from the bullets, the bullets?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will We Ever Learn?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Returning to the perspective of a dying mother, she knows time is precious. Yet all around her she notices people acting like they have plenty of hours to waste. Now that she\u2019s passed on, her perspective changes. This is her speaking from the vantage point of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Just stop your crying, have the time of your life,<br>Breaking through the atmosphere,<br>Things look pretty good from here.<br>Remember everything will be all right,<br>We can meet again somewhere,<br>Somewhere far away from here<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The piano ballad echoes the existential anxiety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cUnder Pressure\u201d<\/a> by Queen and David Bowie\u2014artists who laid the blueprint for Styles\u2019s glam-rock turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We don\u2019t talk enough,<br>We should open up,<br>Before it\u2019s all too much.<br>Will we ever learn?<br>We\u2019ve been here before,<br>It\u2019s just what we know<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the anxiety is nothing new, there\u2019s hope in the fact that we\u2019ve survived long enough to sing about it again. Maybe this time we\u2019ll finally listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by Zak Kaczmarek\/Getty Images for ARIA<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following his departure from One Direction, Harry Styles began a new chapter with \u201cSign Of The Times\u201d, his first solo single.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":6824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"savage_platform_markdown_available":false,"savage_platform_markdown_version":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Zak Kaczmarek\/Getty Images for ARIA","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[223,36,18],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-6819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-harry-styles","tag-pop-music","tag-rock-music"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"harry styles","term_id":223,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/harry-styles\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
