  • he makes me want to close my eyes and dream, he is so brilliant i feel like crying

  • The more times I listen to it, the more I get out of it...

  • Oh Alex, I can't get enough of your charming voice.

  • they way he says 'Brighton' and 'you're in my seat'. in that raspy tone <3

  • Did he write this? The man should write a novel.

  • wasn't fraudulant.... sounded really amazing. not sure why

  • Ugh his voice is sexx

  • Bet he got an "A" in English GCSE's

  • absolutely amazing voice, Alex!!!!!

  • Wow, he's amazing!

  • Comment removed

  • theres only three voices i find comforting, soothing, the whole thing: my dad's when he reads to me, my crush's voice when he sings, and alex turner's voice.

    if i was sad and alex turner asked me what was wrong i think i never be sad ever again in my whole life.

  • simply beautiful.

  • Sounds almost like a fifth, not quite scouse Beatle

  • I don't think this prose would have been as effective in eliciting emotion if it wasn't read by Alex. The way that it abruptly just ends... it leaves this hollow feeling in my chest. His imagery and how commonplace the story is ... it's so wonderful to listen to.

  • ... Whoops. Didn't check the comments till now, and you're all right. I realized quite a while ago that it wasn't a random woman he met, aaaand I totally forgot about this video. Sorry about the incorrect explanation, guys!

  • Beautiful.

  • Thumbs up if you think Alex should write books after he's finished with the Monkeys. And he should read the audiobooks.

  • "Before I remembered my plans to be asleep... deaf, french, or only sat there because someone was in MY seat.".... Just the best.

  • THIS IS BEAUTIFUL,I love you Alex!

  • Well im 13. It's a shame to grow up in an world where the only music being played is about sex, drugs and money. Alex Turner is such a underrated artist. If he were 30 years older, he would sure be bigger than even Bob Dylan.

  • Imagine if he was born somewhere like leeds, his accent would be different

  • @menamesjames Why did you say that? lol

  • @ASH18YEARS Im just saying if he didn't have a Sheffield accent his songs wouldn't be as good.

  • @menamesjames I don't think so. But now that we are acoustumed to his amazing (not to mention terribly sexy) accent, obviously it's impossible to imagine how he would speak without it.

  • Alex is such a great story teller and its so much more enticing with him reading this. I could listen to this forever.

  • I love Alex Turner :)

  • This is just amazing this just shows that Alex turner is a lyrical genius all of his songs have a meaning to them that all of us can reflect on

  • this is magical!

  • Haha I think I've experienced this choice of three!

  • I don't know if I've ever heard anything as beautiful as this before.. crazy. Love it.

  • Oh man... his voice gives me chills and I absolutely love the accent. I think I fell in love of him just because of his voice.

  • @arcticmonkeysaholic totes same beb

  • THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY! He sounds like Alex from The Clockwork Orange! :)

  • im starting to imagine the scene once he starts reading . thats really great , the way he reads it

  • false title?!?! where are the words?!

  • @cherrybomb91

    They're in more info (;

    If you go to my other videos, I've also got one that's a slideshow with words.

  • @Laurabug123 aaah right! sorry mate! ;)

  • if i ever had the chance, i would make love to this man....

  • i love listenin to this

  • My god, this is beautiful, and im a straight boy. I've had to read it a few times to realise what the story was about but now i get it its so clever its untrue. Lyrical Genius. x

  • Ah pity that there is only one Alex Turner. The literary world lacking one genius b/c he chose to sing..well I guess its the best of both worlds put together with such great lyrics in his songs

  • Ah pity that there is only one Alex Turner. The literary world lacking one genius b/c he chose to sing..well I guess its the best of both worlds put together with such great lyrics in his songs

  • I don't get it :S

  • @liizjonas

    It's about a man seeing a beautiful women on a train. The "choice of three" is whether he should look at her reflection in the left or right window, or look directly at her, because he's seated near her. Then he starts thinking about a time when he stole another mans seat to sit by a beautiful woman but he got moved (:

  • @Laurabug123 the woman he's sitting with is his girlfriend....

  • @Laurabug123 i think it's not just any woman but his girlfriend - "i fidgeted until our REUNION on the platform..."

  • @Laurabug123 and now, in the present, detroying the ticket of the man whose chair he is stealing.

  • @Laurabug123 Yeah but if it were any beautiful girl, why would she come to meet him on the platform after the journey and informing him that the theiving bloke was really quite pleasant ?

  • His voice is sooo....beautiful. So calm, yet sorta filled with emotion :)

    This is why Alex Turner is my role model for music, song writing, singing, and for being my true self. HIs voive is soo...honest

  • I ment voice

  • He should read A Clockwork Orange.

  • @lolbox123 he shud read everything.

  • He's perfect.

  • He should do audiobooks! <3

  • I have TOTALLY THOUGHT THAT BEFORE! :D

  • I'm also a 15 year old straight guy and I can agree, this is beautiful. Alex Turner is an absolute genius, everything he writes, song or in this case prose is actually amazing. :D

    He inspired me to learn the guitar and write songs and to be honest try and be more like him! :)

    Can you tell me where to download this please?

  • If you PM me your e-mail I can send it to you.

    But I used this site called listen to youtube . com (take out the spaces)

    cause I couldn't find anywhere else to download it(:

  • how did you get hold of this?

  • listen to youtube . com

  • uh, huh?

  • @1CHINQUE1 You're an idiot

  • I'm not even sure what he was trying to say...

  • sa voix est belle

  • no your all sad basterds

  • How does he do it!

  • This is beautiful, an this is comin from a 15 year old straight male !!!!!!!!

    X  Thanks for this

  • thank you and you are very welcome(:

    P.S. you kinda rock for saying that this is beautiful.

    Just so you know.

  • this is really great. Anyone know where I could download it?

  • PM me your e-mail and I'll send you the MP3(:

  • yayyyyyyy. this makes me happy.

  • i can only say: wow

  • absolutely brilliant

  • ah, the old Alex. When Monkeys were Monkeys and Andy still played the bass, and not with such self-awareness, regarding fame, that they would lose it to themselves.

  • He have to write a Book :D

  • This story has me stuck with this huge grin, a laugh, and the most pleasant warmness in my stomach. Maybe it's because I love Al so much, but I thought this was brilliant. And my thoughts bounce to just what I would give to spend one little day in Miss Alexa's shoes.

  • Oh gosh, I would love to be Alexa <3

    And this... I listen to this all the time, now. It's just so beautiful

  • @lockergr My sentiments exactly.

  • wow, thanks A LOT!!!!! i was trying to figure out for sooo long!!! xxxxxx

  • Haha, you're welcome(:

    Which part weren't you sure about?
