this song and crying lighting are amazing

[sarahholt]

Does anyone else think the humbug era is very mystical and has a magical kind of feel? Love it hahaha

[selenozan]

This album has some kind of dark mystical vibe, and I love that so much.

If that was an euphemism, then I wouldn’t be saying that my propeller wouldn’t spin- ‘cos you wouldn’t wanna go shouting that out, would you?

2:28 My propeller, won’t spin, and I can’t get it started on my own, when are you arriving? 🗣️🔥🔥‼️‼️

[kakamaru]

I love this entire song but 2:16 on is some of the best music I've ever heard period.

[JibadeauxFox]

Humbug is obviously their best albums. Most feeling, most emotion, best overall sound. It's dark, interesting with a perfect theme. Not too long, keeps you waiting for more and a better percentage of awesome songs. It's the first all around album they've ever made.

i’m such a big “my propeller” fan. i wake up and listen to “my propeller”, then i go eat my “my propeller” cereal; after that, i proceed to go to my “my propeller” shower and wash myself with “my propeller” soap; when i am done with that, i dry myself with my “my propeller” towel. once i am dry, i put on my “my propeller” clothes and spray my “my propeller” perfume. since i’m ready for the day, i go to the “my propeller” store and pick up more “my propeller”. when i’m done shopping, i drive in my “my propeller” car back to my “my propeller” house. i fix myself up a “my propeller” dinner and then go to sleep in my “my propeller” bed while “my propeller” is lulling me to sleep.

I hope they release another Humbug-esque album....Humbug is my fav.

Lyrics

If you can summon the strength, tow me
I can't hold down the urgency
You've got to make your descent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys
Coax me out my low
And have a spin of my propeller
It's a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrowed the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy
Coax me out my low
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out my low
And have a spin of my propeller
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller

I've become a huge fan of Arctic Monkeys, but I'm questioning deeply why their fanbase is a bunch of damn hipsters. You either get the fans that hate other fans for liking "Do I wanna know" ( which is a great song, so like... are they wrong for liking it because its on the radio? And... can you honestly deny being a hipster if that's your reason? ) or you get the type that are like "This song is so underrated and underplayed." I see this on pretty much every song, even though this song has had 5.3 MILLION views.

Please stop turning good bands into cults. Just enjoy the music.

[letztekrankheit]

I do know it's the first song I came about AM but from 2005 to nowadays, I just love them from their punk rock sound to this lounge and soul day and everything in between about Alex.

[VaNSaNT]

i think every drummer in the world should hear this song.. the drumming is amazing and coming from a simple guitar riff

[ezrascloset]

Coax me out my low.
Sink in to tomorrow.
- Favourite part of the song for me.

[Sixpakbee-lbdm]

I feel like the meaning of the song refers to everybody having their own personal propeller (metaphor for their driving force in life), and you will always need somebody beside you to help that propeller spin.

[iam_adamfromearth]

Am I the only one who doesn't think this song is a sexual innuendo? To me this is like being in love with a girl who doesn't give you the attention you're craving. When the girl isn't around, you're depressed and de-motivated. "When are you arriving?" He wants to see her badly so that he can feel uplifted again, and the propeller allows him to start moving again and being motivated. Sure it can have a sexual meaning too, but I don't really like to think of it that way imo.

[irahh]

guys i think his propeller wont spin and he cant start it on his own but idk though??

[SpaceStationSouvlaki]

the video is not random at all, it has a special psychedelic sense and in my opinion that's what the whole song is about..

[Alexstefaniaia]

I totally agree.Humbug is their best album so far.The music, the songs lyrics, the whole atmosphere just makes me feel so emotional...

[Nicole-rgfg]

If Alex of 2010 had seen himself today, he wouldn't have believed it. However, he's always perfect in a different way.
