Despair In The Departure Lounge - Arctic Monkeys

[Sophisima]

I was in Florence and someone I fell in love with had just left the city... I was feeling his absence and as I entered a shop this song was on -I didnt know the group- and I felt it very strongly in my heart then I realize that some of the phrases in the song have many parallels with how I felt... architecture and the nice city of florence became meaningless after he had left...

[mahavishnuxc]

The guitar sounds like "Mary Jane" by The Vines

[polegonz]

The Chord progression sounds like The Fratellis' Whistle for the choir

[fujiwarataku]

reminds me a bit to For No One

[HiramofPhoenicia]

Thanks Alex Turner for understanding us..

Im in the same situation as he is totally describing it..

Long distance sucks. I do hope things turn out for the best

[Slogmann]

Know how when you listen to a song again and again, you eventually grow tired of it? Yeah? That didn't happen.

[rajivk91]

I am the 1000th like on this video. Alex, you now owe me. Whole band, my 21st, see you there and we'll call it even.

[Saragepizza]

At the university we have this subject called Introduction to the British studies... One day teacher showed us The funniest scene in the history of British TV ( The one when Dell falls through the bar). I just smiled and thought to myself "Alex,you're fuckin' genious".

[antoBN]

Okay this is beautiful. It took a while before I admit it because my favorite band is The Kooks and in general AM's fans don't have any respect for what The Kooks do, but I decided to be smarter.

So, yeah this is a really beautiful tune. peace.

[mitchqqqqqq]

Alex Turner is the best lyricist of all time.

[TheSharpeThorn]

I personally think there new stuff is far better than their old stuff, they're growing up and not going to be writing about the same old crap all the time. I do adore this song, wish they would play it live more!

[domin1ka]

omg, do u know this feeling when the song tells your story...

[zinatnation]

one of those songs that catches you the first time you hear it

[rubengloasis]

very underrated song

[juliabazon]

13 stupid trolls.

[Moriarttyy]

people should stop banging on about 'shit today'.

[Sohoe1]

hear old songs fron them and then the new shit.... and then think about what the fuck happened with them....

[BarAnthefleur]

me encanta me encanta ♥

[canalla90]

2011 and still listening to this tune, Im in love with this song.

[J1NX3I2]

[4GreenDaySum41]

[LoNeWoLfz831]

looks like ian curtis in that picture



[HonkyCat90]

[Seanus32]

@HonkyCat90 He looks like Paul McCartney there

[casariego2]

@JsscTmln lol me too!!

[JsscTmln]

Albert brought me here.

[juliameretemork]

@JsscTmln Me 2!

[myanimaband]

i'm responsible for many play counts in this video

[fabster69000]

Whenever I hear this song I think of my first girlfriend and how she broke my heart. And I can't listen to it without crying.

[superfunksters]

@fabster69000 :( aww i feel for you

[BloodyPitOfHorror]

@fabster69000 do you not have anything friends in real life to give you sympathy? or do you just sit on youtube all day making up fucking stories

[fabster69000]

@BloodyPitOfHorror No, no, this actually happens. And do you not get enough pleasure from being a huge tool in real life that you build up this cynical attitude and go on youtube to call people who put their feelings out there liars? Twat.

[BloodyPitOfHorror]

@fabster69000 Nah man i fucking LOVE IT, and if you cant fucking listen to it without crying, stop listening and go put your feelings out there to a person in real fucking life?

[drstevie]

all time classic..from the 10" vinyl !!

[canalla90]

oh, what this all would have been if andy was part of it?

[Noircie]

10 persons are fucking insame

[quepedo1234]

fuckin english people...always making the best music

[coolbean08]

He definately had his heart broken didn't he :(

[ddannyish]

nice lyrics

[joeainscough]

i am so glad that Arctic Monkeys don't sound like this anymore

[mohdfirdaus92]

this song make me fall in love,although I was never in love

[parodrama]

Gonna see them with my bfffl/sister in D.C! Woot <3

[jibbedude123]

A song is different when it's in you heart

[xjoe1988x]

no fucking fear. do what you want people. live your mother fucking life.

[iLecter]

What a fucking poet.

[MrDonrudi]

reminds me in my lost love, we also saw each other the last time in a departure lounge and I also had the feel of despair because anyway I knew I would never see this person again.

[SH0RNZ]

This song is SO amazing!! I've been listening to it over and over and over again!

When I first heard the arctic monkeys, i thought the singer was older, but I think it's so awesome how young and talented he is!

[ChubbyCheeks182]

<33333333333333333333333333333­333333333333



[AIienware]

Turner is on tour and missing his bird. All the attractions and perks of traveling can't substitute for her.Even though they've hit the big time and become "winners," they've lost some parts of their lives.

[teddypicker9]

@AIienware as if none of us are smart enough to figure that out for ourselves...tit.

[RedandaMusic]

@teddypicker9 easy peezyy lemon squeezy

[naxxification]

I heard this song for 8 hours.

[JoeKnowsBest3000]

Such a beautiful song.

[o2143658709o]

1000 razy lepsze niz the kooksow ;p

[sknnylttlebtch]

i love how the actic monkeys can be soft and gentle but edgy and brutally honest at the same time

[missypatoch69008]

Alex Turner's voice is perfect for this song ... Gorgeous <3

[HereToFav]

Super.

[eemelydiazz]

beautiful

[LukeWardy]

Alex Turner is amazing. FACT.

[WhatGrandePuffaDid]

i love this song.

[TheFATMAN813]

this is the greatest song ive heard in a long time

[EpresThunder]

<3 <3 <3

[ghadfers]

FUUUUCKKK, Alex Turner, and eveything he is apart of, Arctic Monkeys, The Last of the Shadow Puppets, are immense, FACT. What a Genius.

[noobifile]

Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of the first girl I kissed. God damn I miss her so much, really wish I didn't let her go...

[petermccabe41]

@noobifile Cool................

:-S

[liverbirdgal]

amazing, how alex sings the song as if he reads the lyrics for the first time and his voice got changed by technique

you´d asume it would be rubbish then but he still brings so much authenticity and feelings across!

[paranoid788]

his voice is so...awesome :)

[llRicardollTugall]

How can this brillant song just have 250 000 views when its one of the top songs of Arctic Monkeys

[TheProdigyization]

Arctic Monkeys amazing band!

[SFCiaran]

what a song.

[RobinWaaah]

He's amazing! :3

[dreamjulchen34]

[darranscfc357]

9 people tried to no-scope the like button and missed :(

[axehelm4]

@darranscfc357 haha I love it!

[PierceMyTongue]

If I play with the lyrics and change all the 'he' to 'she' and the other way around, I can perfectly fit the story ... A sad one. It gives me the chills.

Arctic Monkeys - from their guitars, drums, pianos and voices to my heart.

[InnerChild548]

Unbelievably good.

[optimusPrime219]

Oh god, I just fell in love with the Arctic Monkeys all over again.

[ANIKANSKYWALKERG]

[senoirEB]

ther is just no limit to how much this chap can amaze u, this song stone cold evidence to this.

[inesmartins9]

every freakin time.

no point trying to get immune to the song.

[clamb1915]

this is such an amazing song. It is one of my favorite arctic monkeys. this, bigger boys and stolen sweethearts, fluorescent adolescent, from the ritz to the rubble, 505, when the sun goes down etc. They are so fucking amazing.

I am an american and it is ridiculous that england produces so many amazing artists. From the 60's-70's and now the british revival of today. there must be something in the water.

[IndieMoose7]

@clamb1915 couldn't have said it better

[ewok2]

@clamb1915 As long as we can get it on this side of the water I can ignore the shite we're putting out over here.

[thedaychr]

@chiba84

[xikilla13]

[RAAAAIIIIN]

one of the best love songs ever, if this was writtten by The Beatles and sang by Mcca it would be celebrated like And I Love Her and such

[RockAndRoll309]

damn, these guys are underrated. this song is amazing, artic monkeys rock!

[jaijosh]

listening to all there demos and old songs and b sides makes me happy and reminds me again of how much i love arctic monkeys and why they re my fave band

[chuderlaq]

The Kooks cover sounds better. It's my opinion, of course. But I like it both.

[sunashiamaamegwhite]

yeah!!! i love it toooooo!!!!!!

[thefarmerwantsawife]

[crsjulija]

[benson1999]

Amazing....But so much better live!!!!! Love Him in Last Shadow Puppets. Arctic Monkeys rock!!!!!!! Im 32 and love um!!!!!

[andreslepe]

& I LOVE them monkeys!:D

Matt, looks awesome on their shirts!

I just got mine!!:;) <3333

[Goooshaa]

awesome <3

[GaraBeTo43]

i really love this song and i love AM, but I don't understand the lyrics, what is he talking about? a guy that just have lost his love, or something...

[gigantafrique]

@GaraBeTo43 he's probably talking about the pressures of touring, and how he has to leave his girl behind, at home and far from him

[fapperpool]

makes you feel a bit ........ il 2:56

ARCTIC MONKEYS 4 LIFE

[MissToaast]

i f*cking LOVE alex turner! :)

[BethhhG]

alex is a pure babe

[chipster15]

my friend told me he was learning this song so i checked it out!

It's sooo cute =]

his voice makes me smile

Serenade meeeee! lol

[liizjonas]

@aichoucha22 I'm agree, he's a genius and his music is as good as always :D

[aichoucha22]

alex turner is a genius <3

[aichoucha22]

what ? i don't think his music has become less good ! not at all actualy

[ThePSDroid]

@aichoucha22

you mean "worse" hehe :P

[mackatoonarmy]

just because he has taken a slightly different direction which doesnt match your taste doesnt mean its bad.

[rockonsara]

awesome :)

[CieuanL]

Quality. ALEX TURNER :D

[teerome1]

I would have expected far more views for such a great tune!

[blue00eleven]

Rodney and Del won't do... :(

[novemberkook]

I know...I'm retarded haha but what exactly is this song about? it made me sad...it's beautiful...is it about a guy who misses his gf?

[llllukesssmyth]

it's about alex turner and the girlfriend he had when they released wpsiatwin nd they had to break up cos he was tourin so much nd this song is about him missin her

[novemberkook]

aww that makes even more sad

[Fergalhealy]

I'd say so,its either he misses his gf or he broke up with his gf and misses her.

[novemberkook]

@Fergalhealy

Yes. well either way it is so sad. But I must say it's really something I can relate to...I mean when I went through my big breakup with my bf there were those break up songs tht made me feel like w.e....but this explains the feeling perfectly just perfectly. Where nothing matters or helps and the feeling somewhat goes for a few seconds but always comes back.

[Fergalhealy]

Ya same when I broke up with my gf.

[novemberkook]

@Fergalhealy

Aww. I'm sorry

[evysucker]

@Fergalhealy thanks for the background of

the song!:D .I always thought it was a LOVELY song but, didnt know about Alex & his gf. thing haha. awesome

[Fergalhealy]

Ha,no bother!

[Gears182]

fuckin terrible

[paola31081987]

bellissima :)

[katia2828]

My favourite song... just so beautiful and special...

[kiediskiediskiedis]

Please please PLEASE PLEASE, could u help me???

What is the meaning of this song? What does he mean when he sings? Please help me! Thank you! ^_^

[kjuvette09]

The force of it makes him feel a bit ill...

[kiediskiediskiedis]

...and so?

[kjuvette09]

Isn't the point of music to interpret it for yourself? None of us know exactly what Alex meant....we can only guess, just like you. so...that's what I think you should do. :)

[kiediskiediskiedis]

ya, but your answer didn't have any sense! however, thank you.

[kjuvette09]

I know...I was just quoting the song, right?

[11Phenom11]

Simply Beautiful

[o1a2s3i4s5]

sawr em at the hollywood palladium.

Alex Turner is way better in person

[pablograjeda]

viciousmustard: one ask?... are you stupid or idiot, or like you say, you are the shit... actic monkeys 4ever

[ViciousMustard]

English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?

[arcticmonkeys995]

What the fuck? If you don't like this, why the hell did you watch it in the first place? Are you mentally retarded, you fucking shit?!

[ViciousMustard]

Aww, stepped on your toes? Fucking fanboys. Suck my dick, kiddo.

[UKTEA]

Aww, your the obvious 'kiddo' :) Come on YouTube to argue with people over a band you don't like but decide to listen to? That's cute, but you have too much spare time.

And from the fact you want him to suck your dick, you obviously decided to watch this so you wank over the picture.

So take your dick out of your mouth and go get laid, little bitch.

[arcticmonkeys995]

I'm a girl, motherfucker. You must be a stupid guy, judging by your intense idiocy. Oh wait, was that too smart for wittle bwain? I'll try not to use such hard next time, okay?

[arcticmonkeys995]

I'm a girl, motherfucker. You must be a stupid guy judging by your intense idiocy. Ohh, wait, was that to smart for the baby's wittle bwain to understand? Don't worry, I'll use easier things to understand when I'm shoving a stick up your fucking arse.

[ViciousMustard]

Fanboy trolling succes!

[arcticmonkeys995]

You don't make any fucking sense, arse hole.

[ViciousMustard]

do these guys still exist?

[gn1coolts]

yes? they're touring i saw them like 2 weeks ago

[92declan]

you can still cover and record songs even if the bands hate each other you just need permission to release it put it on a ep on a film etc

[tormenta767]

<3<3<3 beautiful amazing amazing amazing!!!!!!

Arctic Monkeys <3

[c0lgat3]

Man, dont the AMs hate the kooks.. actually luke kicked the the AM' singer so.. how did they let them make a cover ? odd....

[jellybeanx17]

yea well luke kicked him 4 a reason! duh i think he was messing with lukes guitar or somethin while the kooks were playin! i dont blame luke!

[Sarahb505]

Beautiful Song. Arctic Monkeys are amazing, love the bit about only fools and horses.
