@@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
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.
@@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*
"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.
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
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.
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.
@@thethirdtomatolisten to crying lightning properly, not the amazing riffs or drum roll beats, but the actual words being said. It tells a pretty horrific story through metaphors, witty remarks, and jokes throughout the song. Crying Lightning is their best sing to date, imo, and it certainly wins the lyric award. AM are an amazing band with so many top tier songs, but Crying Lightning is just their best, I can't explain it, but every time I've seen them live, Crying Lightning just holds this weight on it, and it makes it its own event within the show. It has its own fucking gravity pull its such a layered song.
@@thethirdtomato and your entitled to that opinion, most of their songs are very well equipped with lyrics, Balaclava is probably one of their best lyrical songs from FWN, and R U Mine? is for AM. But Crying Lightning has this swaying nature of lyrics, I just highly advise you go back and listen to it, bcs it genuinely is just a work of art when you look and listen to the lyrics on full focus. They're always heading in a direction, which is different to songs like Suck It And See which stops for its chorus. Crying Lightning is such a complete package of a song that its chorus remains a repetitive factor but never feels draggy, bcs its chorus is literally the core of the song, its what the songs about, and best of all, the song ends half way through the chorus to show that the story never ended, that horrible relationship is still going on and that never ended, as much as you (the listener) know it should. Its just a very complete piece of art, the ultracheese and the only ones who know do it well as well, but the only reason I believe Crying Lightning is better is bcs they molded to suit their lyrics, Crying Lightning was made and got the lyrics matched to it perfectly, its a difficcult riff to find a good rythym to sing to, but they managed to do it. Similer to how Do I Wanna Know? is a difficult riff to sing to, but they managed it.
“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
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.
This guy comes across as a guy that works in a factory but is intelligent into music 🎶 likes going to gigs .. then you listen to his music 😮 this man's a genius like on another level.. but looks like the guy at work that goes to gigs and likes playing guitar loves music.. but you relise all they guys that look like rockstars that Jim Morisson aura rockstar look .. this guy as a little teenager looked like the kid that went to guitar lessons and gigs .. waa writing some of the best lyrics of his generation 💕 what a talent Mr Alex Turner.. grew up with this guy just learning to drive first long term gf he's roughly the same age a few hours away before him it was the strokes and the libertines.. then a teenager your age looks like he's just a young spotty teenager comes out with one if the best albums of our era ❤ great time's now were both in our 30s.. how time flys
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”
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...
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 tried to swim to the side But my feet got caught in the middle And I thought I'd seen the light But oh no I was just stuck on the puzzle" One of my favorite ones
My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes I mean that is a gobful that nobody but Alex could make work.
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

If you think that's poetic you should listen to more music
"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.
Why does he sound like he's never listened to an Arctic monkeys song

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.

"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
How is he casually so mesmerising💓
Ikr I need to find myself someone like him 😂❤
He's just that good..😊
"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
Piledriver Waltz has to be up there, sad words with beautiful music. Fuck he does that well
@@kobra-kiddI agree. Brick by Brick is lyrical bliss
I've started to really like "libary pictures" lately as well as "too much to ask" it's the most underrated song ever

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…

He's so bloody charming and respectable!😍😍
Alex: "idk does anyone even wanne know?" Me: " DO I WANNA KNOWWWW"
"That's your job matthew that's why I leave it to you"

I could listen to him talk for hours
„all that‘s left, is the prove that love‘s not only blind but death“
He’s flawlessly beautiful
mines probably “dancing in my underpants i’m gonna run for government” actual poetry 😢
Alex is fucking humble man
Pretty much every song on Humbug tbf...
Yea, humbug is just poetry
cornerstone or crying lightning is the only answer
Crying lightning?

i love cornerstone!!! my fav song of theirs story wise lyrically
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
His voice and his accent❤ love him and his work
Cornerstone is a fookin masterpiece
there are some absolute banger lyrics on tbhc and the car
"She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever." Jeff Buckley
"and her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place" all time favourite
Cornerstone is amazing
CRYING LIGHTNING IS THE BEST
Humble and Legendary, how can you Not love the Arctic Monkeys?!!
Arabella is a forever favourite. 🤞🖤
Cornerstone is probably my favorite Artic Monkeys song. I love it so much.
Not the side eye 😭 0:37
"all the weekend rock stars are in the toilet practicing their lines" from fake tales of san francisco is a great line tbh
I love "Departure Lounge" I think it's called and "Too Much To Ask"
Great band and so much potential
