heyoo if anyones got a spare minute could you check out my acoustic version of this? got other monkey's covers as well... just trying to get some honest feedback from people! gimme a try at least haha i'm just a kid tryin to make some music. appreciate it. much love.
Alison's inclusion in this track is pretty ironic, in it's own way. Years ago, Alison moved to the UK to record The Kills' initial album. I've read that this song centers on Turner's decision to move to New York to be with his current girlfriend. So, I guess featuring The Kills' feisty frontwoman seems to be fitting.
This album is the sort of album you start out not liking at all but then gradually love it more an more everytime you listen to it and there's no limit to how much you love it. I can listen to this all day and not get bored of it, in fact I'll feel like I can't go on without listening to it
@upbomb This is SO true. It's totally different tha the first two albums, so it's hard to get used to it. Once you accept the fact that it's different, and you're willing to give it a chance, you realize that it's a great album, maybe even better than the previous (it's hard to tell since they're so different). Arctic Monkeys rock! Hope they play in Argentina again soon.
@foonacho Hahah have you seen them live? Humbug's me favourite album personally. I might be seeing them at the Benicassim music festival here in Spain this July. Quite excited really. Are they worth it? Stupid quetsion but you know, worth asking
@upbomb Hahah, yes, I have, they came to Argentina in 2007, but by that time humbug wasn't released yet. They're awesome live! Hope you have the chance to see them!
@foonacho Oh right. Well their old albums are amazing as well. Not half as good as Humbug but mindblowing nonetheless. Yeh well I'm moving to England this year (going to college) so I guess I'll get lots of chances to see them live. They better NOT break up!
Such a tune! Do us a favour and check out our band please! Were influenced by these boys and are unsigned so it'd be great to have a bit of support. Much love, feel free to comment x
/watch?v=Qtxyq7aRnrQ just add the youtube bit :)
Honestly their currently writing a new album. I hope its far better than humbug. Humbug was a good album. But if your a true Arctic Monkeys fan. You'll know that this is a disappointment.
@splinter360 So are you saying if you like this album you aren't a true(?) monkeys fan? even if you have all three albums? even if you have gone to live performances etc? surely that is what consists of being a good fan, if that's even a thing.
This is an idiotic comment if ever there was one.Ok YOU think that this album is a disappointment, but your OPINION isn't the fucking definitive right answer and everyone is entitled to their own opinion on an album without big-headed twats judging them
@jamsand123 Because him and Master Turner are good friends.. Alex Turner sang a song with The Kills so he sand with Arctic Monkeys.. hoping to boost popularity..
Same as others have stated. I thought this album contained alot of ummm "SUCKAGE" .... then it grew to be one of my favorite albums of all, and now one of my top bands because of it.
Alex wrote this song for ALexa when he found out she's moving to New York City..aww he really loves her..I'm not sure about Alexa loving Alex as much. Why? Every picuture I see of her..she's alway's making out with some guy
Those who say that Humbug sucks, haven't listened to it enough. At the first listen, most people probably said: "nah, this is average", so did I. I had to listen to it about 20-25 times before I really understood what kind of masterpiece it is. It's groovy, magical, mystical and the lyrics are just amazing.
I immediately thought this album rocked.... Though, its probably because I pretty much love everything Josh Homme does... Was so cised when I heard he would be working with the Arctic Monkeys: two of my favorite musicians/bands collaborating... fucking awesome!
@splinter360 i understand you disagree and thats your opinion, but there is no need to be rude.
That said how is Humbug a disappointment? Yes it's different from the first 2 albums but that is a good thing cause the band would be quite boring if change never happen. Secondly, Humbug is a better album imo as it shows the band has matured, the music and vocals is stronger.
Frankly change is good, and judging by your point you made, you cannot accept change well.
@Isle0fRed Thats more of a proper reply. Man listen. Your deduction of me not accepting change is simply wrong. Change is good, but how exactly is it better when something becomes worse??? Anyhow everyone has their opinion mines no more correct than yours and vice versa. So touché. Oh and the word change. You shouldn't use that so much. You'll sound like a politician. A bad one.
@splinter360 Firstlyirst you never answered my question. Second;ly, you are still being rude and frankly in an arguement, because you are throwing rude statements around makes you more confuced and more wrong.
Yeah, it gets real heavy towards the end. and it's obviously about alexa chung. (if it's true you're going to run away, tell me where I'll meet you there.)
Why does this comment merit 6 thumbs down? Lol, he is openly dating Alexa, is he not? Though I prefer he'd "meet" me rather than Alexa "there", I don't think he was referring to me while writing this song. :P
I'm sure that the thumbs down came from his gross oversimplification of the song.....you can't tell me what a song is about based on one line from it.....
This one is actually my fave to be honest. Was really sad when they didn't play it at the gig I was just at, but the show was still AMAZING nonetheless!
