Just done my GCSE English Language 1.
For the creative writing, I memorised A choice of three, which made my life so much easier.
Last mock, I got like, 30-35/40, so I'm hoping for something as good in this exam.
I thank Alex for his amazing writing skills
I feel like I'd be speaking for a lot of people when I say My Propeller
Abt a year ago on my birthday, I had one of those nights that genuinely felt like a fever dream.
And the guy I was with, a massive fan. Like the kind that knows every B-side and looks personally offended if you skip a track. Meanwhile I was just a casual listener back then.
Anyway. Morning comes. We’re both still drunk, sitting on this random sofa after being awake the entire night.
Then somehow we started talking about our favourite songs of all time.
And he goes, “listen to this properly,” and plays Cornerstone.
Idk if it was the fact I had the best sex ever or me being drunk.
but that song permanently lodged itself into my brain.
Anyways shoutout to Alex for soundtracking my accidental situationship lore.
HAS TO BE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW FOR ME LIKE AAAAAAAAAAHG I CANT TAKE IT
literally every single time.
I was just in Sheffield for a business trip, and it reminded me of years gone by and the time I met Alex and tried to buy him a beer…
It was a summer night in 2017, heading out with some friends on a night out, and we were walking down through Sheffield city towards the old John Lewis.
As we headed down, a figure struck me, sat in the window of this bar on his own. Now this figure had caught my attention for a number of reasons, as a familiar face does to oneself in your memory, and the penny dropped.
It was Alex Turner!
My friends at this point had walked a long ahead of me, as the cogs turning in my head had caused me to stop. I therefore, gulped, looked around to see if anyone else had noticed and entered the bar.
Not sure if it had been the half the bottle of wine I’d had before we went out, but it gave me a courage to stroll up to him, very politely and just said Mr Turner, I’m a huge fan… could i buy you a drink”
“Oh thank you, That’s a very kind offer, but I’ve already got one, thanks - what’s your name?”
We had a nice moment and I garbled something about how i had really enjoyed the TSLP gig I saw at Alex Palace the year before.
Then, realising that I had probably made a fool of myself, said I’d leave him to enjoy his evening and left.
Was listening to Moonlight drive by The Doors while studying and realized the piano in both songs are kinda similar. (Specifically the opening piano bits on both songs). Does anyone else hear it or is it just me? It doesn't seem too far fetched to say Alex might have had some slight inspiration from the doors/Jim Morrison on TBHC.
Honestly, what does everyone really think? There are so many signs of it in the lyrics...
Okay but seriously this is one of the most addictive Arctic monkeys song ive heard 😤🤩
For me personally it would be four starts out of five ( the title literally suits gta lmao)
