THE STORY OF MILEX
On the back of the CD cover of the third single of Arctic Monkeys, which includes covers as b-sides Put Your Dukes Up John & Baby, Iâm Yours there is a small essay written by Alex. After such "notes in the side" he will do in the era of the second album, FWN.
(Very loudly, Alexander!):
"And they were left with their good friend Speculation,it was felt to be the best way. It was hard to be sure but was certainly suspected there were many unanswered questions,perhaps more amongst some than others. âWeâll meet again,on a more weathered landscapeâ was thought but never really said".
Pure and genius (!) a metaphor mixed with an idiom which translates from AlexTurnerish to human means: In that situation/at that time, they could only guess when they could work together again, but both wanted it, although they didnât really said. And this desire, not spoken aloud, sounds like an intention.
And on the disc itself, the phrase:
âWith cries of âthe boyâs gone soft!â they will part, not a moment too soonâ.
And that was Alex's promise, ladies and gents. Which was executed about a year later! Is someone talking about romance? Yes, definitely.
To be continuedâŚ
