[ireneloayza]

the way his voice just got better and better over the years

[MHIRC]

He wanted to be just one of the Strokes, but ended up becoming the biggest name of his generation.

[jokerpunk]

They are basically legends at this point

[MultiYoutubuser]

This song came out 10 years ago and people still go absolutely nuts over it! Say what you will but they got to be the band of our generation

[lukeosheasehgal]

One of the greatest songwriters to breathe, fastest selling debut uk album, headlined Glastonbury twice, cracked the US and the whole fucking world. Four lads from sheff who met in school fucking smashed it

[olliedunn]

Sad that you can’t say Arctic monkeys will go down as legends cuz they ain’t EVER going down

[Jphillythakid]

Arctic Monkeys are one of those bands that can hibernate for years and comeback like nothing happened. What a band!

[rp]

The band of their generation really. There may have been better individual albums/songs in the indie genre, but none of those bands generates the same excitement 7 albums in that these guys are right now! And it’s the at they reinvent the sound, that’s what makes them great! Love em!

[amedeobini]

one of the best bands of the '00s, still relevant nowadays. fucking legends

[elifascoglu]

Oh my god the mirrorball in the stage was foreshadowing

[hamzahamzaoui]

'I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be, and satisfaction feels like a distant memory'🔥

[IAmRedherrings]

Crazy how they've managed to stay relevant for literally 15 years




Edit: chill tf out saying it's 17 years, I still think of the 80s as being 20 years ago

Edit edit: when I say 'relevant', I mean by the standards of 'popular' music - distinguished by Liam Gallagher as being - "when the kids listen to you, you've made it" - Arctic monkeys are somehow able to make new, young fans over the years. Most bands fans age with them

[benmurray]

I was still a bit sad that they didn’t play certain songs like mardy bum, fluorescent adolescent and when the sun goes down but you can never complain when you can say “I’ve seen arctic monkeys live”

[trademark]

One of the best surviving bands of their generation - legends that have reinvented themselves over and over. What can you say? Class.

[tkr]

Saw them at Lollapalooza and before playing this song he goes “I got a question for ya” I almost collapsed. Such a good show

[artistikrubik]

I can't explain how it feels to see him with the guitar in hand

[rfwpdtq]

I'm a puppet on a string
Tracy Island, time-traveling
Diamond cutter-shaped heartaches
Come to find you four in some velvet morning
Years too late, she's a silver lining
Lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when she's not right there beside me

I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can't help myself, all I
Wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"
Well, are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine? Oh, ah

I guess what I'm tryna say is I need the deep end
Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes
Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days
Great escape, lost track of time and space
She's a silver lining climbing on my desire

And I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can't help myself, all I
Wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"
Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?)
Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?)
Are you mine? (Are you mine, mine?)

And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways
So in case, I'm mistaken, I
Just wanna hear you say, "You got me, baby
Are you mine?"
She's a silver lining
Lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when she's not right there beside me

I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can't help myself, all I
Wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"
Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?)
Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?)
Are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?)
(Or just mine tonight?)

[saviola]

Matt's voice is getting better and better wth 😭😭

[c.b]

Still a banging tune. Still relevant. Absolute Legends.

AM is one of those few bands that can boast a flawless discography and I hope that the new album will be the solidification of this aspect
