“As it was” by Harry Styles
For me this is a standout for 2022.
Pure pop and a lovely song. Has that special melancholy mixed with optimism vibe that I love so much.
For some reason … probably delusional it reminds me a little of “The way it used to be” … perhaps the driving rhythm and the processed vocals part near the end of the song … not sure maybe just me.
I’m actually looking forward to giving his album a few spins tomorrow

Re: Harry Styles
It's his greatest solo hit so far (at least chartwise). I feel it could have been a bit longer. The first listen was a bit meh but it gets better with every new ear contact. 
A blues would be in B flat, pain defining wisdom,
but the soul is in the high hat, programmed in the system.

Re: Harry Styles
I agree...i completely glazed over the One Direction Era and all the other solo stuff, but thing song and video totally impressed me.
Re: Harry Styles
Btw, his new album is out today. You should give it a listen. The track I highly recommend is the last one:
