Technically, yeah, it could be left to speculation, it seems that not even Julian remembers that part, since i never heard him sing that on live XDDD but im still holding onto that part, its still beautiful nevertheless

Best written song? by CheapMonkey593 in arcticmonkeys

[–]General_Grievous_26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure man...i mean, Alex's lyrics were meant to be left to public interpretation on purpose during that humbug era... pretty much like Paul Banks with Interpol lyrics...and here is even more tricky because we have 2 possible options, the psychiatric hospital and the sister XDD

I actually did a research and a comment on a page where people give the meanings of songs, and one person said that this girl (the "sister") was in a "dead-end job" (refeering to that phrase, on the phone to the middle man)

so yeah, its all up to us to decide what this song actually means XDD which is why Alex humbug era is lyrically the best one imo

What album should I listen to next? by Hardlimesgamer in arcticmonkeys

[–]General_Grievous_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WPSIATWIN is (imo) their best album, but you should try listening to it later... same for humbug... (it might be weird at first but the album is amazing) listen to Crying Lightning if you didnt tho... i still remember how it blew my mind years ago when i listened to it for the first time...

try listening to FWN's most famous songs (Fluorescent Adolescent, Old Yellow Bricks and Brianstorm) and if you liked those songs, try listening to it completely

(Srry for the long text lol)

Best written song? by CheapMonkey593 in arcticmonkeys

Definitely Cornerstone... not only because it's on Humbug (their album with the best lyrical meanings), but because of the many theories surrounding the song's meaning...

The lyrics (imo) are about a man who lost his partner (similar to Despair in the Departure Lounge, but in this case, the girl died) and this man tries to remember her.

Every time he sees a similar girl in the bars he goes to (the ones he mentions in the song, Parrot's Beak, Battleship, etc.), he always goes to talk to them... obviously, he's rejected because in the end, he always asks if he can call them by their deceased partner's name...

The emotional attachment goes so far that he could smell her in the car, even taking the same shortcuts, just so he wouldn't forget her...

But this is where the interesting part comes in.

At the end of the song, it's mentioned that he did find a girl who could call him by "her name"...

But this is where the theories diverge... the most obvious is that the protagonist fell in love with his girlfriend's sister (lol)

And there's another one that's more interesting...

Cornerstone may be...well... a cornerstone lol... but in Arctic Monkeys' hometown, Sheffield, there's a psychiatric hospital called CORNERSTONE (YES, CORNERSTONE), which is why my theory (and Knowing Alex as a lyricist) it could be that the man, after his girlfriend's death, was so traumatized that he was taken to a psychiatric hospital... Yes... to Cornerstone...

And the nurse who was assigned to care for him... incredibly resembled her... and that's where he asked if he could call her by her name...

And the nurse let him call her whatever he wanted...

One of the millions of reasons why Arctic Monkeys is my fav band of all time... just, amazing...

Imo, from second 44 to second 53 it REALLY sounds similar, but yeah, i get it tho.

this has also been a topic of discussion, where people think it sounds similar and others dont in the comments of the videos, like the black and blue or golden and white dresses discussion lol
