    Alex Turner is a songwriting genius. This is a line from the song "Fire and the Thud" that I absolutely love - "If it's true you're gonna run away, tell me where, I'll meet you there". He can pack so much emotion into words. I would really recommend listening to the older songs by the Arctic Monkeys especially their album Humbug

      My favourite song by Arctic Monkeys is Too Much To Ask. The line “Would a kiss be too much to ask? When you fit me as sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flask” is beautiful. Also “Would it be outrageous to say we're either shouting or we're shagging? Docked in tempestuous bays, at least that's how we felt yesterday. The eyes are getting heavier and whether you're asleep or awake is a mystery”

      RIGHT and the whole of Cornerstone too, that song is literally a poem in itself, especially with the progression of "can i call you her name?" and variations of that until "you can call me anything you want." right at the very end, as well as Love is a Laserquest, that song is so beautifully written, that it hurts

    RAGE
    I’m worried we are entering an age of rage,
    Where only anger will be considered as an asset
    And the gentle will be mocked, then eaten.
    Those with soft voices will have their tongues cut out,
    As punishment for not using them the right way.
    Don’t you know your words are weapons,
    Kindness is obsolete,
    As obsolete as handwriting,
    As obsolete as silence and darkness in a city.

      This reminded me so much of the words of Thucydides about the change of the meaning of words (he was talking about a time of war):
      “The regular meaning of words changed to fit the state of affairs. Insane risk was now bravery for an ally; careful forethought was cowardice; moderation was considered an excuse for being unmanly; circumspection was an unwillingness to commit; heedless attacks was termed manly behavior, and self-defense was a bland excuse for conspiracy”.

      to give yourself over to another body
      that’s all you want really
      to be out of your own and consumed by another
      to swim inside the skin of your lover
      not have to breathe, not have to think
      but you can’t live on love
      and salt water’s no drink
      we’re dying of thirst so we feast on each other
      the sea is still our violent mother
      and like children she just can’t teach,
      we break and break and break and break ourselves upon the beach
      IT’S SO GOOD AAA

      its more like he is bad at interviews rather than conversations. his mind just goes way faster than his mouth can keep up with and so we end up with 5 words a minute but if you're patient enough and put them together, those are genius sentences. also the fact that he absolutely hates interviews which adds to the stress and slows him down further. all of the interviews in which the interviewers craft the scene as a conversation are the ones in which he is the most interactive. but if someone's just shooting questions after questions, that's a train wreck.

And now the prospect of those kisses seems to wind me like when you slip on the stairs and one of the steps hits you in the middle of the back. The notion of them continuing for what is traditionally terrifying forever excites me to an unfamiliar degree.
      it kinda became a math problem in the end but very romantic

    My hot take: Rupi Kaur's poetry is for people who don't like or enjoy poetry. I've never read a poem by her that doesn't scream Tumblr

    Taylor Swift didn’t write A Monster in my Closet when she was 10 to not be ranked at the top
    For reference:
    There's a monster in my closet and I don't know what to do!
    Have you ever seen him?
    Has he ever pounced on you?
    I wonder what he looks like!
    Is he purple with red eyes?
    I wonder what he likes to eat.
    What about his size!!
    Tonight I'm gonna catch him!
    I'll set a real big trap!
    Then I'll train him really well.
    He'll answer when I clap!
    When I looked up in that closet, there was nothing there but stuff.
    I know that monster's in there!
    I heard him huff and puff!
    Could it be he wants to eat me?
    Maybe I'm his favorite tray.
    And if he comes to get me,
    I'll scream loudly, "Go away!!"
    If he's nice, I'll name him "Happy."
    If he's bad I'll name him "Grouch."
    I suspect that he is leaving, but if not. . .I'll kick him out!

    List is incomplete without Madonna's poetry:
    "I'm known to write a wee verse or two
    Regarding things important and/or true
    But now, I'm creeping 'round like a tarantula
    Just looking for some words that rhyme with Angela"

    15:20 Hello, Jack. If you actually wanna find poems that Britney has written I suggest you look into the old ones she used to post on her official fanclub back in the 2000s. She usually posted them in a section called "Love B: Stream of Consciousness".
    My favorite one is called "Remembrance Of Who I Am" and it starts like this:
    No more chains
    That you gave me.
    Enough of pain
    Now I’m craving
    Something sweet, so delight
    How do you stand sleeping at night?

    "Random sentences with line breaks", I couldn't have said better myself.
    I didn't know I needed this video until youtube randomly (but certainly) recommended to me. Your humor, mixed with the clever notes about poem structure and the casual diss are just GOLD.
    p.s.: Alicia Keys, I had faith in you.
