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.
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!
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.
@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.
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

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 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 ?
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! :)
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.
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.
he makes me want to close my eyes and dream, he is so brilliant i feel like crying
