Harry Styles only needs a basic setting and some water to tell a tragic story through this video. He performs one of his finest ballads at a piano as the room slowly begins to flood.

After he ends up underwater, he keeps singing in a rich metaphor for his emotional state. As if that wasn’t enough, the gorgeous decorations sinking along with him allows for powerful imagery to take over. While it’s not Styles’ most over the top video, it represents “Falling”’s vulnerable lyrics exceptionally well.

Straight out of a classic Hollywood musical, this vintage video features a stage production starring the singer. He performs as high-profile guest Phoebe Waller-Bridge arrives to watch.

It’s a fantastic concept that feels like the best kind of student film.

Like a fairytale, the video for “Adore You” tells the magical story about Harry’s friendship with a fish.

The plot has a mythical vibe that will satisfy fantasy fans, and the Scottish backdrop certainly doesn’t hurt. The whole thing feels ready for a kid’s book adaptation any day now.

One of Styles’ most successful songs, “As It Was” also has one of his best videos. The eclectic set design, visual metaphors, and choreography blend together seamlessly in striking fashion.
