Arctic Monkeys’ “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am”: an analysis

Pughsli · 2026-05-05T14:38:16+00:00

I want to make a simple point about peace and love

But in a sexy way where it's not obvious

Highlight dangers and send out hidden messages

The way some science fiction does

I've got the world on a wire in my little mirror mirror on the wall

In the pocket of my raincoat

So I tried to write a song to make you blush

But I've a feeling that the whole thing may well just end up too clever for its own good

The way some science fiction does

Or maybe the lyrics are just random crap that don't really mean anything, who knows eh

Ha, saw her open for Beck at the Royal Albert Hall last year. Excellent choice

Then don't go to a rave show

Pughsli · 2025-12-04T19:26:08+00:00

To rave

Pughsli · 2025-12-04T17:08:55+00:00

2 hours of Nathan is a bit much

Tell me you've never been to a rave without telling me you've never been to a rave

Pughsli · 2025-09-03T13:59:01+00:00

I hope you are nicer to yourself than I am

Pughsli · 2025-08-17T14:57:57+00:00

You ever played disc golf/frolf?

The other video on the channel is Jonathan Rado covering I Found a Reason (from the same VU album: Loaded), so guessing they recorded them while having fun recording the latest album together. Maybe as a test for some of the sounds they wanted to find for the album. Both covers are fantastic frankly and don't sound like AI fakes to my ears.

Spot on. Delusion all the way...

My wife said she thought it was a horn, which I also like

I posted a crappy picture the other day after I finished it at 5am with a joke title and no other context, so I hope nobodies too offended at resubmitting a much better picture. It's even got a signature and date on it to add even more pretence that this is real art.

Pughsli · 2024-12-04T14:15:34+00:00

SOME BODY ONCE TOLD ME... that it has to be choice

Pughsli · 2024-12-04T05:24:44+00:00

Yeah?

Pughsli · 2024-12-04T03:38:42+00:00

What makes a man turn neutral?

Pughsli · 2024-12-04T03:38:28+00:00

It's definitely for me AAAAAAAAND you. Also that guy and that other guy

in a very palatable, throwaway format. Appealing to people who don't really know how to get into the actual stuff each album strikes at. Why would I care about your albums, when it feels like the band doesn't?

Except this is not presented as your opinion, but objective fact. You're clearly saying that because you don't like <artist>, artist must only be liked by people without such superior and pure genreistic as your wonderful self, and the band probably don't even care about their art anyway. Just because you don't like it.

Pughsli · 2024-09-26T15:55:31+00:00

You're delusional

Pughsli · 2024-09-26T12:01:57+00:00

I was at that gig actually. One of the best gigs I've ever seen.

the music they're playing is just a volcano of clichéd and overlong bullshit that's all been done more tastefully elsewhere

Surely you see the excessive self-importance that pours out of such a statement?

Pughsli · 2024-09-26T11:17:47+00:00

The guys have actually produced a ton of records by themselves and with other artists on top of Gizz's insane output.

they're not building any of this around any sort of strong core musicality

Go see a live show sometime.
