@@decgar07 I really want that album, I only have favourite worst nightmare but there are really good songs like Secret Door, cornerstore and crying lightning
"When she needs to shelter from reality, she takes a dip in my daydreams." Easily my favourite AM lyric. Although, their discography is full of great lyrics.
Artists often don’t listen to their own songs. 😂 There was a time that Taylor switf couldn’t guess her own song too, also many even forget it so they have screens on stage with the lyrics.
he was joking.. or at least be a much more grounded human being because at that time with the looks that he used to have, people easily assume he's just an arrogant man. But, fans know it better obviously.
My least favorite album of AM is Suck it and See, that doesn't make it bad, it's pretty damn good, Library Pictures, Black Treacle, The hellcat, Love is a Laserquest and Piledriver (originally from submarine EP) are just gold The only song I don't like is brick by brick, feels like soul less compared to every other song in the record
@@isThisTakenToo--- nah it's *js as the apocalypse finally gets prioritized and u cry some of the hottest tears u have ever cried multiplied by five,I suppose a singer must die*
hell yeah so glad he said Arabella, I've always been in awe at the poetry of that song! The words twist and dance so cleverly to get rhyme emotion fantasy and romance across all at once, it's so captivating. Every time I listen to it I'm transported through time to the stat of mind I had as a teenager.
He is sooooo damn handsome! I love his swag. The way he does his hair and I love his confidence. A beautiful musician! One hell of an exceptional talent!
I love the second verse of crying lightning. Its like its own short story from like the 1800’s. Also ”smelled your sent on the seatbelt and kept my shortcuts to myself” from cornerstone is another great lyric. Hell most of his lyrics are pure poetry in my opinion.
“Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now? Or darling, have you started feeling old yet? Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts With the efficiency that only youth can harness… And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there? Or have somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered? When I'm not being honest, I pretend that you were just some lover.” - love is a laser quest
The way they paint the winter vibe in Knee Socks is underrated. "You got the lights on in the afternoon And the nights are drawn out long And you're kissing to cut through the gloom With a cough drop colored tongue And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high And I thought you might be mine In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night In the right place and time" Mmf 🤌
Arabella has some of the most fun twisty turny lyrics from AM Personally my pick from the old styles (first 5 albums, so not counting latest two) would probably be a song from Humbug. “Dance Little liars” is a drop dead beautifully written song, the lyrics perfectly complementing the songs sort of dark and sinister tone. Its also one of like two songs that always come to my mind when thinking of this album. The other songs being “Pretty visitors” and maaan, that song just fucking slaps all around. It’s maybe even my all time arctic fav. The lyrics have that staple arctic twisty turny-ness in heaps. It’s just so fun to both listen to and sing. I could go on for days about that album, love it to bits. But other to also include to the good lyrics list from that album being: Crying lightning, Secret door, Cornerstone, Jewellers hands (which is just a gorgeous song). Suck it and see also has some great songs! It’s mostly far less sinister and darker than Humbug was thematically, but it kept that fun playful element. As the arctic album with imo the most well performed and most consistent vocals (again, not including the newer albums or TLSP) , the lyrics are of course also wonderful and fun. Examples being: The hellcat spangled shalalala, Piledriver Waltz, Suck it and see, That’s where you’re wrong.
Last Shadow Puppets, but “As your shrinking figure blows a kiss, I catch and smash it on my lips.” The man’s really got a way with words. Arabella is incredible lyrically tho. “The horizon tries but it’s just not as kind on the eyes.” F me right up Al.
I love artists so much. Because half of them are like “Ahh these lyrics are a reflection of my soul” and the other half are like “Idk I just wrote them lol”
"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" That sh*t hits hard!!
My phone vibrates differently....when alex speaks......i think his voice is really different....😅i really don't know how to put into words properly...... but the thing is his voice is sooo intense...
*creates a masterpiece*: “I guess it’s alright”
he is insane
Very very British, love it
Matt calling Alex “Al” and him calling Matt “Matthew” is unreasonably funny
he was refering to the interviewer who's called Matthew
@@mrSam3ooo he calls him matthew for example on stage he once said take it away matthew when playing brianstorm
THE PFP
@@mrSam3ooohe was referring to the drummer of the band who’s the guy he’s talking to
@@xSaturnzxno in this specific interview the interviewer was called Matthew and Alex calls every interviewer by their first names
"And her lips are like the galaxy's edge and her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place" ah poetic af
Try out Bob Dylan you might like it

If you think that's poetic you should listen to more music
"I smelled your scent on the seatbelt, and kept my shortcuts to myself" lol 💯
i was listening to this last night and i just love the whole song too much
"What came first the chicken or the dickhead?" is the greatest lyric in human history and no one will ever change my mind
Wait where is this one from? Is it from the latest album? 😂
@perpetual_happiness It is from pretty visitors which is on Humbug from 2009. It's definitely worth a listen!
I think you wrong but I'm not interested in trying to change your mind. It'd be a waste of my time.
@@decgar07 I really want that album, I only have favourite worst nightmare but there are really good songs like Secret Door, cornerstore and crying lightning
@quuenbanaana8425 it's underrated and rewards a listen again as you say some great tracks on it and the whole thing is quite atmospheric.
"When she needs to shelter from reality, she takes a dip in my daydreams."

It's much easier to pretend that you were just some lover....
The 2nd half of suck it and see is just amazing lyrically. Love is a lazerquest especially makes me cry every time.

"Love is a laser quest" is very underrated in my eyes. Some great lines e.g. "I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes" which sums up my life :)
I agree so much! I too think it is a hidden treasure.
Agreed! Piledriver Waltz and Love is a Laserquest are two of my all time favourite songs lyrically, so poetic
And convince myself I need anotherrrrrr
How is he casually so mesmerising💓
Ikr I need to find myself someone like him 😂❤
He's just that good..😊
Mine's 'what do you mean you've never seen blade runner'
mine is "ELEVATOR DOWN TO MY MAKE BELIEVE RESIDENCY",star treatment is love

So step out the queue he makes examples of you and there’s no you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay

To walk back past ten-thousand eyes in the line
And you can swap jumpers and make another move, instilled in your brain you’ve got something to prove to all the smirking faces and the boys in black…

"That's your job matthew that's why I leave it to you"
😭
He’s flawlessly beautiful
Agreeeeeeeed! “The horizon tries but it’s just not as kind on the eyes.”
And the ending of Cornerstone? My jaw dropped 😮. Love this band ❤
Pretty much every song on Humbug tbf...
Yea, humbug is just poetry
Alex is fucking humble man
'Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight.
And so they found a place to hide.'
mines probably “dancing in my underpants i’m gonna run for government” actual poetry 😢
“Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now?
Or darling, have you started feeling old yet?

i'd say the verse after the first chorus from crying lightning is one of the most beautiful lyrics, sounds straight out of a poem
i love him so much
Humble and Legendary, how can you Not love the Arctic Monkeys?!!
Ooh Arabella is a lyrical masterpiece, I'm glad you agree with me Alex 🫣
Just saw these guys again a few nights ago at Pine Knob. So good. Arabella is fantastic.
I love "Departure Lounge" I think it's called and "Too Much To Ask"
Cornerstone is amazing

"She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever." Jeff Buckley
Arabella is quite alright, yes! Corner Stone is one of my faves!! It makes my heart slow to a stop and then speed back up again. Lol🥰🤟💃💃💃💥💥💥✨️
"and her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place" all time favourite
„all that‘s left, is the prove that love‘s not only blind but death“
"Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf."
Arabella and Cornerstone are two of my favorite songs, I knew we would be best friends if we met... lol
Last Shadow Puppets, but “As your shrinking figure blows a kiss, I catch and smash it on my lips.” The man’s really got a way with words.
Arabella is incredible lyrically tho. “The horizon tries but it’s just not as kind on the eyes.” F me right up Al.
Cornerstone is a lyrical and prose masterpiece
AMAZING ♥️
All lyrics are so poetic......
Alex turner: “I don’t know does anyone even wanna know?”
My brain: 🎵dO I wAnNa kNoW🎵
Frrr lol
"The day after you stole my heart
Everything I touched told me
It would be better shared with you" Okay mr. Poet
A certain romance was a masterpiece in term of story telling for me
"all the weekend rock stars are in the toilet practicing their lines" from fake tales of san francisco is a great line tbh
"alright" fucking hell man
Moment I saw this Cornerstone is what came to mind
6:36
Theres no sound that can send a chill down one mans spine more
“Your not from New York City you’re from Rotherham” Oh the irony 😂 Who even is this guy now
I love artists so much. Because half of them are like “Ahh these lyrics are a reflection of my soul” and the other half are like “Idk I just wrote them lol”
So true!
Personally I love "Only Ones Who Know" and "Hiding Tonight"
“Breaking news, they take the truth and make it fluid” is one of my favorite lines from Alex.
No one is going to talk about Alex's nose? Bro its PERFECT im so jealous
I love them sm❤❤❤❤
"I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way round
