Whenever I feel down, I just come to this comment section. It’s heartwarming to see everyone making fun of Alex in such an endearing way, like we’re all old friends.
I just read an interview where Alex talks about this video and I just wanted to leave you with this quote, because I think it's quite wholesome: "...try to make it like a non-video. But that video was definitely summat we could have only done together. I was probably still reluctant doing it even with Richard. We did a version of it in his living-room one night, where I just couldn't get through it without laughing. It was the same when we actually shot it - both cracking up, trying to keep a straight face as I did a little pirouette."

And even deep in the comment sections of songs like Arabella, the live version of 505, and WYOCMWYH, he'd still be able to find us taking about how we all know the truth, we've all seen this and he can never escape. Who cares he's 35 now. He's stuck.

Everyone is making memes out of this video, but I personally *love it* ! It's memorable and this image of Alex is quite iconic at this point. It also keeps you entertained, despite nothing really happening lol. For me the video is just like this song: simple, but sweet, and I love it with all my heart.
So true, I really think the video fits the vibe of the song. Or maybe I am just bias because I am also a skinny white guy with messy hair who wears turtlenecks lol
remember guys. this man is the lead singer of one of the best rock bands to have ever existed... this man is the man who many straight guys would give a one time pass to. this man is the same man who wrote most of the lyrics to the album that revitalised and revolutionised modern rock, as well birthing many new rock artists...
have to disagree, there's a lot of great rock bands in the world, and this dude isn't necessarily an exception, so calm down fanboy, no straight guys are turning gay for this man, no matter how androgynous he attempts to appear...
@@NicNax123 ok buddy, whatever you say. im sure someone who names their yt account "theham" is a very clever person who knows more than the average person. But clearly doesnt bcs he hasnt seen the many comments from boys saying they'd fuck alex turner, or the amount of indie and modern rock bands who actively acknowledge that they were inspired by Arctic Monkeys or that the inspiration the album AM had given to the rock community was significant. No one makes rock bands like the Brits, as much as America might try to argue. From an Australian, British roco bands are far superior. And if you go around asking people who their favourite rock band is, i can confirm it will mostly be arctic monkeys. I live in Australia and literally EVERYONE knows who Alex Turner is. Their not my favourite band, but i still respect them, bcs my favourite band took inspiration and made my favourite songs. So yeah i might come across as a fanboy, but "theham" i dont think you realise how big AM are, and fame isnt coincidental in the rock genre. 9 times out of 10 it means you're doing something right if you're getting a rock album in top 10 of America.
@@miamitten1123 I find it hilarious how you’re getting your panties in a mess over an inoffensive UA-cam comment. Reported to UA-cam for being rude. :)
You are not the only one... What is there to be made fun of? Alex looks cuter than ever, he is rocking a retro vibe, I love his hair style and red sweater, in my opinion, he never looked better. The video is gorgeous because of its simplicity. Alex plays the awkward slightly deranged person down to a T. The song is one of my top 3 AM favourites. It speaks of an obsessive love, it is slightly sad, but it kind of has a twisted happy ending. Two damaged people find each other. This is 100% gorgeous.
Nat Isla He is an excellent songwriter, indeed. He writes his songs as though he is having a normal conversation, which makes the listener get closer to him. And he also uses unusual rhymes, too.
People are like "I won't forget this video Alex, you can't fool me with your sunglasses and leather jackets" but this video just proves he is perfect. He is human and seems so much sweeter than he gets portayed nowadays. I'd kiss your heart, Alexander! Can't believe I am seeing them in July!❤
Oh god… I think I’m about to breakdown. This album was about a month old when I was born, and my dad was (and still is) a Monkeys fan and had this album on his iPod and played it so much, and forever imprinted these songs in my brain. Earlier this year, I got really back into the Monkeys and listened to all the albums again. And when this song came on, everything came flowing back. There’s such an intense feeling of nostalgia accompanied with this song for me. I don’t wanna grow up man. Thank you Arctic Monkeys for existing. Don’t know what I’d do without you.
I was two when this album was released. You are so lucky to have a parent who would play arctic monkeys, I wish I could’ve discovered then at an earlier age but they still changed my life.
I just found my sister wearing a sweater like this, and the best part is that her hair is the same colour and length. Now she's watching the video with me for the first time.
i like the transitions how Alex just croches and walks up to the camera for no reason tbh when he was spinning a fully expected a sailor moon transformation

I thought I saw you in the Battleship
But it was only a look alike
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close
Close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if I could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered up for a closer look
And kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close
And she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely
"Please, can I call you her name?"
And I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak
Messin' with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm
It was close
So close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in Letraset
"No, you can't call me her name"
Tell me, where's your hiding place?
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
That she was close
Well, you couldn't get much closer
She said, "I'm really not supposed to, but yes
You can call me anything you want"

High Alex: 'don't worry leave it to me, pass us that tape recorder'
Lmao
xD makes sense...
LAMOAOAOAOAO
haha
that's quality.
Everyone is making memes out of this video, but I personally *love it* ! It's memorable and this image of Alex is quite iconic at this point. It also keeps you entertained, despite nothing really happening lol. For me the video is just like this song: simple, but sweet, and I love it with all my heart.
So true, I really think the video fits the vibe of the song. Or maybe I am just bias because I am also a skinny white guy with messy hair who wears turtlenecks lol
Finally someone with TASTE!
We all love it, but bullying the shit out of Al is really fun
Your comment is simple and sweet too
I actually think that the basic vibe is symbolic enough and helps focusing on the details that to me seem put there on purpose
2:23 me & my friends waiting for the teacher to stop roasting us and our powerpoint so we can sit back
Literally
😂😂😂😂😂
Hajdjabdjjfien 💀💀💀💀
Lmaoo that's so so funny 😂😂😂
remember guys.
this man is the lead singer of one of the best rock bands to have ever existed...
this man is the man who many straight guys would give a one time pass to.
this man is the same man who wrote most of the lyrics to the album that revitalised and revolutionised modern rock, as well birthing many new rock artists...
have to disagree, there's a lot of great rock bands in the world, and this dude isn't necessarily an exception, so calm down fanboy, no straight guys are turning gay for this man, no matter how androgynous he attempts to appear...
@@NicNax123 ok buddy, whatever you say. im sure someone who names their yt account "theham" is a very clever person who knows more than the average person. But clearly doesnt bcs he hasnt seen the many comments from boys saying they'd fuck alex turner, or the amount of indie and modern rock bands who actively acknowledge that they were inspired by Arctic Monkeys or that the inspiration the album AM had given to the rock community was significant. No one makes rock bands like the Brits, as much as America might try to argue. From an Australian, British roco bands are far superior. And if you go around asking people who their favourite rock band is, i can confirm it will mostly be arctic monkeys. I live in Australia and literally EVERYONE knows who Alex Turner is. Their not my favourite band, but i still respect them, bcs my favourite band took inspiration and made my favourite songs. So yeah i might come across as a fanboy, but "theham" i dont think you realise how big AM are, and fame isnt coincidental in the rock genre. 9 times out of 10 it means you're doing something right if you're getting a rock album in top 10 of America.
@@bill4665shut up mate, Alex Turner isn’t gonna shag you.
@@bill4665 get a life...
@@NicNax123ummmmm ALEX TURNER is the best soooo how about you kick rocks you wanker
The lyrics are so good. Alex Turner's lyrical talent is so impressive.
Every verse "close" means a different thing, and it's not stilted at all. Just brilliant writing.
@Name Face dude. We didn’t ask recommendation for you pretentious/never quite made it groups. Just to give Alex his flowers 💐
@Name Face y a mí que
@@miamitten1123 I find it hilarious how you’re getting your panties in a mess over an inoffensive UA-cam comment. Reported to UA-cam for being rude. :)
Are you Indian? If you are hello Im indian as well and yeah alex turners really good currently enjoying the submarine album
this continues to be the best thing for some reason
obvious
Yo ur that cool youtuber!
duuuude i love your videos of this song through radio
1:37 "hey im alex turner and ur watching disney channel"
How does this coment has only 5 likes?????!!!!!
OMGGG SOO CUTEEEEE
Ray Hesher hahaha
great genuine laugh from this belly.
So underrated comment!
When he crawls under the screen to the camera, my ability to breathe evaporated, i was cackling so hard
1:32 *walls were wet*
Touches the wall
*flicks fingers*
2:09 That spin is pure perfection.
This is absolutely epic, I don't know why people think it's cringey or whatever.
Same
I love it it's so cute and I genuinly like it alot
same
Oh, do they? :o
You are not the only one... What is there to be made fun of? Alex looks cuter than ever, he is rocking a retro vibe, I love his hair style and red sweater, in my opinion, he never looked better. The video is gorgeous because of its simplicity. Alex plays the awkward slightly deranged person down to a T. The song is one of my top 3 AM favourites. It speaks of an obsessive love, it is slightly sad, but it kind of has a twisted happy ending. Two damaged people find each other. This is 100% gorgeous.
i do not CARE what y’all think alex was adorable in this video ❤❤❤
ONG FRRRRRRRRR
I would like to ask awfully politely for someone to make this in to an hour loop.
PLS SAME
vouch
Alexander is a poet. The way he sees romance and love in general is ABSOLUTELY beautiful, His lyrics are truly OUTSTANDING.
Nat Isla He is an excellent songwriter, indeed. He writes his songs as though he is having a normal conversation, which makes the listener get closer to him. And he also uses unusual rhymes, too.
I love this comment section. Everyone's just bullying the shit out of Alex.
we love him tho
@Δημήτρης Τζέκος I can bully him and thrist at the same time lol multitasking here
@@cassiamarocki thank god he doesn't have a social media lol we would take a bullet for him doe
@@sibylle1927 wait what really??
Where?
this man can make no effort and still be the most perfect person on planet earth. he is SO real. and his voice is magical
Alex Turner can pretend to be cool with his leather jacket and quiff, but that won't change the fact that the Cornerstone music video happened
Best comment ever haha
Bravo!
lmfaoooooo
Didn't someone tweet this..?
that's exactly what makes him so cool, but that's just me
2:27 when you’re up at the front of the room waiting for the class to quiet down so you can present
Amanda 😂
When the teacher says your name and how you’re waiting
lmao
HAHAHHAHAHA
2:47 when the class already lose interested with your presentation
People are like "I won't forget this video Alex, you can't fool me with your sunglasses and leather jackets" but this video just proves he is perfect. He is human and seems so much sweeter than he gets portayed nowadays. I'd kiss your heart, Alexander! Can't believe I am seeing them in July!❤
Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
He’s so cute but funny, like he really said “confidence is key”🥺🥺🥺
2:42 Those special effects that Crying Lightning doesn’t have.
Hallelujah...
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
That was perfect
This is lyrical/musical perfection, such a great song live aswell!!
People saying Alex is intimidating
Alex:
@NICOLLE DAYANNA MORENO ROJAS XD
I don't know why people say it. He's one of the cutest and funniest guys I've ever seen in my whole life. There's ***no*** reason to hate or fear him.
When he just states into the camera
This is the most intimidating he's ever looked.
I am highly intimidated by this version of Alex
The most advanced technology in the history of music videos. How could they afford that? 2:43
Idek🤣🤣🤣
Yup I was amazed
Technological advances really bloody gets him in the mooOOod 😔
this is what i do when im home alone and vibing to arctic monkeys
😭same
Oh god… I think I’m about to breakdown.
This album was about a month old when I was born, and my dad was (and still is) a Monkeys fan and had this album on his iPod and played it so much, and forever imprinted these songs in my brain.
Earlier this year, I got really back into the Monkeys and listened to all the albums again. And when this song came on, everything came flowing back.
There’s such an intense feeling of nostalgia accompanied with this song for me. I don’t wanna grow up man.
Thank you Arctic Monkeys for existing. Don’t know what I’d do without you.
I was sixteen when this album came out and at the time i didn't know the Monkeys but for some reason this song makes me nostalgic.
I was two when this album was released. You are so lucky to have a parent who would play arctic monkeys, I wish I could’ve discovered then at an earlier age but they still changed my life.
He was such an adorable lil dork oh my god. The twirl. I can't.
alex TURNER.
You know Alex, your suits and leather Jacket can't delete this fucking piece of perfection.
laughed harder at this than i should have
Now this, this is ART.
so is your profile picture
@@barbedwirebow why thank you
Never change ur pfp
@@fia2709 lmao are u stalking me or summat 😂
@@drinkwater3154 lol nope just another one of those Alex Turner marathons again I’m afraid
Am I the only one who thinks this video is a peace of art?... I mean, how can't you see how versatile and histrionic this guy is!
I just found my sister wearing a sweater like this, and the best part is that her hair is the same colour and length. Now she's watching the video with me for the first time.
Nice😂
1:19 - A wild Alex Turner appears!
IM LAUGHING SO HARD
You are a genius my friend
***** Listen to ''Darude-Sandstorm''
Alex used sexy singing . It's super effective
A speshies never seen too human eye
This is the best music video in history.
It’s simply iconic. No one can change my mind.
In *England.*
and the cheapest🤣
@@MarcoReyes-o5i barato y maravilloso
oh please
Even as a huge fan of Arctic Monkeys, I must disagree. Lonely Boy - The Black Keys, holds that title.
i like the transitions how Alex just croches and walks up to the camera for no reason
tbh when he was spinning a fully expected a sailor moon transformation
We're all talking about the video but don't forget that the lyrics are actually so sad
i’m 90% sure it’s a joke song, but either way an absolute choon
Thought I saw you in The Battleship
but it was only a look a like
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When i asked her if i could call her your name
I thought i saw you in The Rusty Hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close, and she held me very tightly
Till i asked awfully politely, please
Can i call you her name
And i elongated my lift home,
Yeah, i let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seat belt
And kept my short cuts to myself
I thought I saw you in The Parrot's Beak
Messing with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in Letraset
No you can't call me her name
Tell me where's your hiding place
I'm worried i'll forget your face
And i've asked everyone
And i'm beginning to think i imagined you all along
I elongated my lift home
Yeah, i let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seat belt
And kept my short cuts to myself
I saw your sister in The Cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When i saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
She said i'm really not supposed to but yes,
You can call me anything you want
Francisco Diaz nice
“And I elongated my lift home…” part is so well written. Aching heart put so well into words.
I thought it was "elongated my left toe"
@@M30WYGAL hahahahahahahaha
I love all Arctic Monkeys tracks but... no one of the have this MASTERPICE as the music video
for personal reasons I will be purchasing a red sweater
It's my next haloween costume
Me too
If i buy a red sweater i could be Alex and girl in red.
lets all dress up as alex for this year Halloween xD
@@alexckozume that was my plan for this Halloween.
