"Have you made the Cornerstone music video?"
"Yes."
"What did it cost?"
"Nothing."
His sense of style
His dignity
Hahaha
"A broken tape recorder and an ugly red sweater"
@@danarseptiyanto4066 hey but he looks adorable lmfao
Sometimes I think Alex Turner wears sunglasses and leather jackets and tries to act cool to try to make people forget that this music video exists
YEPP
bingo
Hahah hahahahaha this funny!!
HHA
YEAH LOL
He had a walkman, a red coat, a white wall and a dream
Shout out to Richard Ayoade for directing the most iconic music video to ever exist. The man knew what we wanted and he delivered
You mean to tell me this music video had a director?!?!
this thing had a director?
@@sk_lxr2920 yeah! It was directed by a British comedian named Richard Ayoade and he is one of my favorites! He is the only person who could have come up with this insane of a video 😂
@@breadmoneyarchival yeah! It was directed by a British comedian named Richard Ayoade and he is one of my absolute favorites! He’s the only person who could have come up with the insanity that is this video
he also directed a film Alex created the soundtrack for, Submarine (2010), if you haven't watched or listened. Please enjoy
People saying Alex is intimidating
Alex:
@NICOLLE DAYANNA MORENO ROJAS XD
I don't know why people say it. He's one of the cutest and funniest guys I've ever seen in my whole life. There's ***no*** reason to hate or fear him.
When he just states into the camera
This is the most intimidating he's ever looked.
I am highly intimidated by this version of Alex
If you can't love me at my Cornerstone, you don't deserve me at my Arabella..
And dats on periodt💅

I LOVE HOW ITS JUST A BLANK STARE LMAO
LITERALLY I GET A BIT SWEATY TOO
Lyrics:
I thought I saw you in the Battleship
But it was only a look alike
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close
Close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if I could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered up for a closer look
And kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close
And she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely
"Please, can I call you her name?"
And I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak
Messin' with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm
It was close
So close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in Letraset
"No, you can't call me her name"
Tell me, where's your hiding place?
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
That she was close
Well, you couldn't get much closer
She said, "I'm really not supposed to, but yes
You can call me anything you want"
Thank you so much, never thought I'd found their lyrics to this song, but I elongated my lift homeeeeee
im going back to 505...
1:37 "hey im alex turner and ur watching disney channel"
How does this coment has only 5 likes?????!!!!!
OMGGG SOO CUTEEEEE
Ray Hesher hahaha
great genuine laugh from this belly.
So underrated comment!
Producer: We’re on a limited buget, okay?
Alex: I gotchu fam
Richard Ayoade who you might recognise from somewhere else directed the video
HAHAHAAHA
the fact that the lighting crew forgot to turn on the lamp and realized it at 2:42
Most of the budget went to Crying Lightning lmao
If u use the word fam instead of family ur a basic person with no mind or PERSONALITY of YOUR OWN 🙂
2024 who is here?
Present!
Meeeee xd uwu
yoooooo
Yessir
Me too 😊
It’s Alex’s birthday today and I’m celebrating his life drinking wine and listening to all of his iconic songs. Happy Birthday you legend.
she was close, close enough to be your ghost cookie
Well...they're selling like ghost cookies 😌👌🏽
very underrated
PAHAHA
You saved me from tears because of the song with this bro
lmao
Plot twist : alex is listening to the strokes in the headphones and vibin
nice1
Lol best comment!
Maybe I guess so if it is your g
Right
Don't remind my g word I typed it mistakenly
He just wanted to be one of the strokes
Not a huge arctic monkeys fan but
I must confess
This is some of the greatest song writing ive ever encountered in my life
me too
True
me too lately
Ummmm, song-writing is kind of what Alex turner is known for.
they are awesome....they are my favourite worst nightmare....
This is probably my favourite track ever made by AM. I love it so deeply.
2:42
The most special effects they could afford after Crying Lightning
LMAOOOOOOOOO
You evil LMAO jsxboqnasosvehidbwdoshebsowk
this is so funny
LOL
LMAO 😭😭😭😂😂😂
The sweetest song about nailing your ex’s sister that was ever written.
This is an underrated comment lmao
💀💀💀💀
BESTIE EYE-
A fanfic que sonho.
Or nailing your dead girlfriend’s sister depending on who you ask.
I love songs like this where there's a weird but realistic narrative, with some parts not making much or any sense but they go so well with the melody and you can't help but sing along every time you hear it
Yes and even though the meaning is not clear it still paints such a vivid picture in your mind
the best memory I'll ever hold in my heart is that time when I was at their concert (front row) and, while he was singing Cornerstone, Alex came in front of me and my friends and did the "so close that the walls were wet" gesture while staring straight at us
AMAZING
@@Sangster972 out of your entire life, your best memory is a split second parasocial moment with a singer at a concert
@@stranded9225yes thats how that works sorry youve never gotten the opportunity
that wouldve been the coolest thing ever
I love this comment section. Everyone's just bullying the shit out of Alex.
we love him tho
Now go to the arabella/ r u mine videos and watch everyone thirsting over him lol
@@user-ob4yt6cf7b I can bully him and thrist at the same time lol multitasking here

@@alexckozume that was my plan for this Halloween.

Blinking is overrated he might think 😂
I REALLY REWATCHED IT JUST TO SEE IF HE BLINKED ... he didn’t at all 😂😂😂
Omg 😳 yes I see it now you said it!

HAHAAHAHAHAHHHAA
LMFAO IM DYING HAHAHAHA
Hahahaha loooool
HAHAHHAHAHA
He looks so adorable here, like someone huggable
Looks softy and huggable
I agree 🥺
He does, indeed, look humbuggable
@@nicholasrodante8167 i see whatca did there
I'm so glad I was born in 2009, now. At first I was pissed that I was born too late to listen to them. But now I like it because I was born in the same year where Alex Turner's hair looked like that. And the same year where he looked as adorable as ever.
I DONT SEE WHY PEOPLE ROAST HIM FOR THIS VID IT'S JUST A CUTE LIL MV 😭😭😭
no matter how cool alex tries to be, this will always be here.
I think thats the coolest he’s ever been and I’m not a fan, but saying this genuinely. I love this
Unpopular opinion: I really like this minimalist take on a music video
Everybody loves this video. It’s just meme material af.
Kramas Music this
they spent the budget on crying lightning dude...
Most people love this video though
we all do
It doesn’t matter how many hairstyles or leather jackets you have I will never forget this video alex
Yes!
ngl I think about this comment a lot whenever I see the complete and utter THIRST in the Arabella comments
he is normal now
definitely ✋🏼
TRUE.
10+ years later I still get goosebumps at the end of the song.
the little twirl at 2:11 😭
Alex Turner can pretend to be cool with his leather jacket and quiff, but that won't change the fact that the Cornerstone music video happened
Best comment ever haha
Bravo!
lmfaoooooo
Didn't someone tweet this..?
that's exactly what makes him so cool, but that's just me
1:19 *WARNING STUNNING JUMPSCARE*
😱😱😱😰😰😰
fav comment x)
That is exatly how i feel about this
You could see him crawling it’s. Adorable 😭😭😭😭
@@effyshoe1795 he's adorable
We can all thank "crying lightning" for the budget of this masterpiece
this man can make no effort and still be the most perfect person on planet earth. he is SO real. and his voice is magical
When everyone is quarantined but you still need to make a music video
Twenty One Pilots who?
@@avadawn4872 damn, you cured my depression
That was jumat libur soundsystem , u can check
I legit LOLD omg
LMFAOOOO
i watch this religiously 3 times a day
same
Amen
same i’m back agaib
@@marleypodolak3066 as u should be😌🙏
@@claran828 oop and i back
i like the transitions how Alex just croches and walks up to the camera for no reason
tbh when he was spinning a fully expected a sailor moon transformation
this feels... REALLY intimate in a really awkward but weirdly authentic way. like watching a teenager singing into the mirror at night. i think i've enacted this exact music video on accident alone in my room before like that.
Alex Turner has many personas. This is British Timothee Chalamet
Ahaha no ❤
HAHAHAHAHHA
Omg that's spot on
Alex Turner came first
Morí!!! XD XD
Whenever I feel down, I just come to this comment section. It’s heartwarming to see everyone making fun of Alex in such an endearing way, like we’re all old friends.
Me too...
me too i cry🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
yeah
Yeahh mee toooo
guys let's hug together 😭
I love the part with "wet walls" . amazing acting lol
remember guys.
this man is the lead singer of one of the best rock bands to have ever existed...
this man is the man who many straight guys would give a one time pass to.
this man is the same man who wrote most of the lyrics to the album that revitalised and revolutionised modern rock, as well birthing many new rock artists...
have to disagree, there's a lot of great rock bands in the world, and this dude isn't necessarily an exception, so calm down fanboy, no straight guys are turning gay for this man, no matter how androgynous he attempts to appear...
@@theham9787 ok buddy, whatever you say. im sure someone who names their yt account "theham" is a very clever person who knows more than the average person. But clearly doesnt bcs he hasnt seen the many comments from boys saying they'd fuck alex turner, or the amount of indie and modern rock bands who actively acknowledge that they were inspired by Arctic Monkeys or that the inspiration the album AM had given to the rock community was significant. No one makes rock bands like the Brits, as much as America might try to argue. From an Australian, British roco bands are far superior. And if you go around asking people who their favourite rock band is, i can confirm it will mostly be arctic monkeys. I live in Australia and literally EVERYONE knows who Alex Turner is. Their not my favourite band, but i still respect them, bcs my favourite band took inspiration and made my favourite songs. So yeah i might come across as a fanboy, but "theham" i dont think you realise how big AM are, and fame isnt coincidental in the rock genre. 9 times out of 10 it means you're doing something right if you're getting a rock album in top 10 of America.
@@bill4665shut up mate, Alex Turner isn’t gonna shag you.
@@bill4665 get a life...
@@theham9787ummmmm ALEX TURNER is the best soooo how about you kick rocks you wanker
That hand flick when he says "when the walls are wet". Slick asf
I laughed so hard at this part! Was not expecting that
As a non native english speaker, what does he mean by "so close that the walls were wet"?
Wet with sweat.
@@TwskiTV Close means humid
i snorted so loud.
when he goes down and then gets up it’s literally the funniest part of the video BECAUSE I CAN SEE HIM WHEN HE’S DOWN
RIGHT AHAHAHAHA
Yeahhh😂😂
NO FR
WHERE DID HE GO 😂
IKR HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS SO PRECIOUS
I love all Arctic Monkeys tracks but... no one of the have this MASTERPICE as the music video
Am I the only one who thinks this video is a peace of art?... I mean, how can't you see how versatile and histrionic this guy is!
The fact that this didnt win an award for best music video is disgusting
Kindly look up this song Time by The Impures
Ugh fr fr

2:11 the spin
2:24 doin it to em
The sweetest song about getting with your ex’s sister you’ll ever hear
Director: so what are you going to do during the solo
Alex: *stares at the director awkwardly
"wait like you don't have any ideas?"
"no like that's what I'm going to do during the solo"
it's good enough, shut up
Get Summed Up literally nobody said it was bad
@@tuansyafiq5177 you should not question creative decisions by Alex Turner
The director is Richard Ayoade. The creator of awkward stares.

People are like "I won't forget this video Alex, you can't fool me with your sunglasses and leather jackets" but this video just proves he is perfect. He is human and seems so much sweeter than he gets portayed nowadays. I'd kiss your heart, Alexander! Can't believe I am seeing them in July!❤
Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
This is lyrical/musical perfection, such a great song live aswell!!
Call this video cringe all you’d like but this man was able to film himself lip syncing his own song in front of a white background for 3 minutes and 15 seconds and get 30M views. This is iconic.
Yes ❤
And without even blinking once!!!
Yeah and people don't seem to get the fact it was intended this way. It's tongue in cheek with subtle irony.
Edit: I love when he just stands still for the instrumental
Well the fact that the song is amazing greatly diminishes any reason to cringe imo
why would it be cringe? it’s cute and simple and chill. Low budget for sure but still not cringe
The acting. The dancing. The gestures and movements. All 10/10.
I give four out of five
amo demais!
2d quick do a collab song
20/20
he's just perfect :')
the way he ducks down at 1:18 but u can see his back creeping towards the camera
is no one gonna talk about how this song is about Alex asking various women if he can call them his ex's name during sex, and the first one to say "yes" is his ex's sister??
this is the peak attractiveness on a male human, you may not agree with it, but it's the truth.
I agree
Yes!
yup
I mean, Miles Kane was definitely attracted
@@federicapiottoli6922 lmao i concur!

@@kissmeunderneaththemoonssi8125 what the f*ck is ur username?
Yes I'm judging my friends based on what come out of their mouth once I show this MV to them
Sometimes I just let the video play, while I listen to the song... And sometimes, I watch the video, and every time I do, I find something that I'd forgotten about, and that I find hilarious each time. Whether it's him staring into my soul during the solo, or crouching down to pop up closer to the camera 😂. Thank God this music video exists tbh
1:16 murders me every time
Special effects 80lvl
LOOL YESSSSSSSS
It was so cute 😸
HAHAHHAHA
YES 😂😂
Honestly this is such a look tho. I call it "uncle who has had one too many margaritas at an event that does not serve margaritas"
+classystegosuarus The clothes are similar, Alex definitely drinks margaritas so I think it's a nice description!
'4 Margaritas!'
'Sorry sir we d-'
'No, 4 Margaritas!'
Oh god… I think I’m about to breakdown.
This album was about a month old when I was born, and my dad was (and still is) a Monkeys fan and had this album on his iPod and played it so much, and forever imprinted these songs in my brain.
Earlier this year, I got really back into the Monkeys and listened to all the albums again. And when this song came on, everything came flowing back.
There’s such an intense feeling of nostalgia accompanied with this song for me. I don’t wanna grow up man.
Thank you Arctic Monkeys for existing. Don’t know what I’d do without you.
I was sixteen when this album came out and at the time i didn't know the Monkeys but for some reason this song makes me nostalgic.
I was two when this album was released. You are so lucky to have a parent who would play arctic monkeys, I wish I could’ve discovered then at an earlier age but they still changed my life.
I was really born in the wrong generation. I wish I was a teenager when this song was released but instead I was a toddler.
Ten years later, this song still breaks my heart and makes me laugh.

Same ong
Yeah... For some reason these lyrics sound to me like a Charlie Chaplin sketch

How did he do this with a straight face
angelica salmeron thats what amazes me too! people say he is awkward, but didnt seem anything like that at all in here..maybe he really likes acting!
angelica salmeron who the fuck laughing when AM song's playing? NOBODY!
+saul alejandro exactly
+saul alejandro that explains everything
Special K Kata Kálmán Thank You, took me a while to come up with that theory. Lol
this song has become a cornerstone for me. after every hardship, after every heartbreak, i come to this song and start healing again. and each time i think i come back as a stronger and more whole person
the lyrics are actually soooo romantic i can’t think of anything but this line “tell me where’s your hiding place? i’m worried i’ll forget your face”
So romantic, fucking their sister
Alex trying to be a bad boy:
Cornerstone music video exist🧍🏼
Bad boy? He's probably stil a mafia boss
I just read an interview where Alex talks about this video and I just wanted to leave you with this quote, because I think it's quite wholesome:
"...try to make it like a non-video. But that video was definitely summat we could have only done together. I was probably still reluctant doing it even with Richard. We did a version of it in his living-room one night, where I just couldn't get through it without laughing. It was the same when we actually shot it - both cracking up, trying to keep a straight face as I did a little pirouette."
thanks for this message. I can't imagine how hilarious it was during the shot
Link of the video please?
@@Guantes26301 It's not a video but a written article but if you want you can read it here: www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/periscope-up-richard-ayoade-and-alex-turner-unite-their-talents-in-hot-new-brit-flick-submarine-2243847.html
this made me love this video even more :)
Then it's explained why he leaves the scene more than once
Watching the cornerstone mv is a daily routine
when you spend the whole budget on the crying lightning video and you have to record the cornerstone one in your living room, holding some random stuff you found under your bed, with a lamp for special effects and all that in one shot :
Just put Alex in front of a camera and make him react to this, you cowards
Okey, but have you seen him on the Miracle Aligner's videoclip? And what about Les Cactus? I bet he has no regrets honestly haha
But still, it'd be funny seeing him react to all those videos.
the fact that people are still coming back to this vid ELEVEN YEARS LATER is killing me omfg alex u can never escape the bullying for this
I'm listening to this everyday
