i love how Alex completely changes his look every album and Matt has looked the exact same for the past 15 years
That´s personality for you
saulo ramos okay?
@@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347 yire right, it doesn´t make sense, don´t know what i was thinking
Yes, I love that every album had a different style
Anyone else seen this comment like 50 times coz it’s at the top of the comments? 😂
we can thank this expensive music video for the beautiful production of cornerstone
that cornerstone video was perfect
Cornerstone was perfection
They were both directed by Richard ayoade
same
Y'all will forever shade corner stone it is sad🤣😔
Editor: How many effects do you want the clip to have?
Alex: YES.
Ooohhhhhhh shit u Luci
It's even funnier because the amount of effects literally lowers the bitrate of the video
they spend all their budget for crying lightning and this is why we got cornerstone video made THAT way lmao
@@adiospomidoros both were directed by Richard Ayoade, so quit likely...
Corner stone is perfect
The giant figures coming from the water is the most 2009 thing ive seen in a while.
LMAOO
Just imagine them in a studio in an empty boat on a green screen. Haha 😂

that would be one of the best things to see.
arctic monkeys drums are just heaven
Thank Matt Helders for that
percussion heaven
Literally Wimplash
In Matt helders we trust
When someone’s idol is John bonham you’re always gonna be an amazing drummer
this is the most 2000's shit someone could ever imagine...... and i love it
@Al-zein Kusmantoro I agree
@Al-zein Kusmantoro it came out early 2000
I will do anything to listen this song for the first time ever again
EXACTLY my thought. Never ever getting that sensation back! Feel U tho
RIGHT
literally.
Here it is!!!!! Always read about “favorite Monkeys song”, but I feel it’s not enough, not the exact feeling. But to listen to Crying Lightning for the first time ever - YES, this is what I would do anything for. That is the description
same
"It's raining but me hair still flawless"
literally their thought process 😭✋
why is no one talking about matt using a telescope to look at the band as if they literally weren't right in front of him
And the size of the Empire State building...
😂😂
he wanted to see himself 😂
"mate my skin is so dry like, I need some lotion or something"
not that anyone cares, but this is my favourite Arctic Monkeys song
this, a certain romance, and 505 all have those epic endings. although i agree i do like this one the best.
Same ♡
Same!!!
Mine too!!

The lyrics from 1:19 - 1:55 feel like they came straight out of some classic novel and I can't get enough of it.
IKR
and through 2:08
FRRR
It really does wtf 💀
al is such a lyrical genius
Video Producer: So were planning to spend the entire budget on Crying Lighting, what shall we do for Cornerstone?
High Alex: PaSss Thataatat Taaaaaaaaaape Reeeeecooooordderrrr m88888888888
HAHAHHAHAA
rofl 😂😂😂
for sure! 😂😂😂
This made me laugh until I hurt. Good stuff
lmaoo
Producers be like, alright we have a budget for the whole album, spend it all on the band sitting on a boat with rain n shit - then make a massive rainbow alex, fuck Cornerstone
Ahahahah
Omg right lol
😂 😂
WOW THATS A NICE MEME BUDDY
Dude this is literally so accurate lmfao
This is hands down the most fun Arctic Monkeys song to sing along to.
Frrr
fr 💯
It's also one of the most fun to play lead guitar along to, the main riff is both fun and sounds amazing
Agree! Satisfying to sing your past times consisted of the strange and twisted and deranged
@@discokills And i hate that little game you had called
Nick looks like young Leonardo Dicaprio, Alex looks like a cross between Anne Frank and Young Severus Snape, Jamie looks like Will Turner off of Pirates of the Carribean and Matt looks the exact. same. every. single. album. release.
This is why Humbug is my favourite album.
Anne Frank 😭
nick does look like young leonardo dicaprio u r so right
Anne Frank and Young Severus Snape 🤣
ANNE FRANK HELPP😭😭😭😭😭
Manager:
You realise this will not only blow Crying Lightning’s video’s budget, but cornerstones budget too.
Alex:
It will all be worth it. I have a cute wall at home and a red sweater.
CORNERSTONE JAGSJSJHSJSHS
I think that Alex became much more extroverted and pulled off the whole 50s heartthrob look back in am era just to make us forget about the cornerstone music video... BUT HE DIDN'T SUCCEED

So that's where all the budget from "cornerstone" went ..
United Potatoes nice comment very original
I knew I would find some comment about the low budget of Cornerstone. Lol
I LOVE the Cornerstone video. Alex is love.
Miss Teak I agree. The Cornerstone video is simple, but i still love it.
Video producer: 'sorry lads, you've spent all your money on the crying lightning video'
High Alex: 'don't worry leave it to me, pass us that tape recorder
Humbug alex was gods gift to earth
if anyone disagrees with that, then they are just wrong
I come here every single night for a month now. I have been listening these guys for a very long time. But this song has something special that keeps me dragging. I love this song with every single cell in my brain and my soul.
i know what you mean ,)

next time i go to the beach i want to SEA alex emerging from the water with his guitar reciting the lyrics to crying lightning
i feel bad for the ice cream man :(
And BTS video

Jeff Oseman oh of course haha i'm so stupid
netflixer We're basically the same person in terms of our love for these guys
3 minutes of Alex just standing on a boat and hallucinating.
The build of intensity in this song is flawless
The drumming and guitars on this is exceptional. It is very satisfying to see hear it complimented by Alex’s soul-touching vocals
alex looks like a young severus snape
Nah snape looks like an old alex turner
This video is the reason the budget for the Cornerstone video was low xD
looks like kylo ren
Annette Ricci he really does!!! so hot, Snape is mah man!

Yeah it's really not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. After a few listens it's boring.

First of all: this is actually my favorite Arctic Monkeys song.
Second and how I actually come back here: there’s really a lot of Arctic Monkeys in Peaky-Fuckin’-Blinders!
Season 2 finale goes hard with like 4 AM songs. So good

AM: Weed?

LYRICS!
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
Said your mistaken if your thinking that i haven't been
caught cold before
As your bit into your strawberry lace
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you have left and it was going to waste
1st CHORUS:
Your past-times, consisted of a strange
And twisted and deranged
And i love that little game you had called
>Crying Ligtning<
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy
afternoons
The next time that i caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never look like yourself from the side
But your profule did not hide
The fact you knew i was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Stood and puff your chest out like your never lost a war
And though i try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
2nd CHORUS
And your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and derranged
And i hate that little game you had called
>Crying Lightning<
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy
afternoons
Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
You are >Crying Lightning<
--------------------solo-----------------------
3rd CHORUS:
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and derrange
And i hate that little game you had called
>Crying Lightning<
>Crying Lightning<
>Crying Lightning<
>Crying Lightning<
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and derranged
And i hate that little game you had called
>Crying
I really can't sing it 😪😪
Fucking great job.
@@gustavotenorio8752 why?
Bloody love the lyrics to this track. 😍
I'm really terrible at remembering lyrics but with this one I"m acing it
So Kylo Ren is really 2009 Alex Turner.
hahahahahahahahahaha I'm crying 😂
pause the video at 1:50 and it is Kyle Ren playing guitar haha
+Ian Usher Duuuuuuuuude
And both are still sexy.
+Indigo Cranford As a straight man, I have no problem admitting that Alex Turner is one damn good looking man haha.
Insanely complex composition and Turner's genius lyricality at its finest. Def one of their best.
1:00 honestly best chorus to verse transition, plus the verse is so sick!
Alex looks like a cross between Kylo Ren and a young Severus Snape
Sam Cooper I agree
OH MY GOD THAT'S TOO ACCURATE
Sam Cooper ¡locoooos¡!¡jAjajA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA omg so true
True
Love the song, but the music video is like a stoner watching Pirates of the Caribbean
So true xd
Shut up and like it!!!!
Isn't that what you want? That's what I want😂
Isn't that a good thing?
@@hollymennell8660 Is this what you wanted?
I deathly fell in love with this song, i can't stop listening since yesterday. I love that little game called CRYING LIGHTNING. Arctic Monkeys are actually the best rock band, they're great because they reinvent themselves every time, in every work.
2:57 alex just laying in the boat is so funny to me
there is a cool alex turner but then a cooler alex turner emerges from the water
so this is where the budget for cornerstone went. .
What is the budget of cornerstone?
Matt's performance in this video is just awesome
!!! matt helders just talked about matt helders,, shOOKT
Omg😂😂
they're both directed by the same person, so it might just be true
0:33 - 0:40 these subtitles...
your parents said you mistake
bitch
@@naufalmuhammad5742 lmfao
and then its like "obey the icecream man" HJVFGI sure!
My parents can confirm that this sentence is true
I've never looked at closed captions of the song before, and this is my new favourite pastime, thank you
3:03 pure energy
for real, if you like arctic monkeys you should check out Lonely Gimmick - Pessimistic Weather ,gives me strong arctic monkeys vibes
Matt cracks me up with his pipe and the spyglass.
I thought noone commented abt that pipe till l saw this. That pipe scene is just hilarious to me :p
First time I had ever heard AM was 2005 in Toronto, I was going to see Oasis and AM had played the night before in town so Oasis asked them to open up for them. What. A. Concert....haven't looked back
Jay Farley sounds wicked man
that doesn't add up AM was still in britin at the time they did even release thier first album
havent looked back in anger? hahahaha
bullshit
it's 2006, but his story is not bullshit. oasisinterviews.blogspot.de/2006/03/noel-gallagher-toronto-sun-march-2006.html

Really thoigh "I tried so not to suffer the indignity of reaction " is such a kickass lyric
This and Cornerstone are the best videos ever

Funny that Matt always had short hair

he tried to grow long hair but it wouldn't grow down lmao. it turned into an afro
Recently discovered this band and I'm mad at myself for not knowing them earlier. Their music is just amazing!!
Such an epic song. It just keeps building up up up and then climaxes, then starts all over again. One of their best.

Everyone is waiting for the Humbug era to come back in all it's glory like
few weeks ago on tumblr, someone had this MAD theory, look:

Not Fizz check out their new album
And now we have TBHC!
midsummersky kind of accurate if you think of Humbug as a change in direction, as that’s also what TBHC is.
3:23 matt: i should look at the band from a telescope that would be cool
the rest of production: no that would so stupid they're literally huge and right in front of you?

the crappy green screen work describes my life
saltypretzzel I thought it was pretty good honestly
Stop bullying them becky they are doing their bloody best
@@elhombrequerie8884 They're not specifically targetting the team in front of the camera or the one behind, and no, you need to make the lights in front of the camera to match the background lightning set, color wise, I think the visual effect team did the best job they could.
@@elhombrequerie8884 There's also that, but it isn't necessarily linked to the greenscreen work that is needed when there's a greenscreen plan to work on. There's that non tracked overlay smoke, non tracked water effects, the lights on the boat that are incoherent and couldn't be possible in real life.
😂 My point is that, color-wise, they did the best job they could to match the background's scene lighting
@@elhombrequerie8884 I understand why you think so, but that's ill thought, I mean, the fact that it looks fake doesn't highlight the idea of "crying lightning" at all, to anybody, who would relate to that? edgy af. What was shown in this clip was the power of the fake crying to drag you down considering the whole behaviour of the girl, as it is depicted by the grandiose mother nature, and then, Alex's emotions personnified by the gigantic Alex during the solo when he's on his knees. On top of that, there's no need to say more about 'crying lightning' than what is said in the song. The visuals only seems fake because they Arctic Monkeys don't really care about it at all.
To everyone who says : AM fans can't find us here. I find you! 😂 I like AM album, but also like their other songs
Finaly a racional comment
haha right if it wasnt for AM i wouldnt be here

everyone -
everyone - **applauds**
are they on their way to antarctica?

this band songs lyrics are so poetic, narrative, and descriptive like Alex casually throwing lines "with folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache, stood and puff your chest like you never lost the war" and "crying lightning and how you like to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy afternoon".

This track, this text, this guitar solo, this drum beat. One word. Awesome. Best tract they ever released.
You knew they are approaching you're thrown......
Dude this and cornerstone are like the best music videos in the world
Real
Funny that the moment the Arctic Monkeys started getting mainstream popularity, "real fans" went back to this album calling it great and complaining how they've gotten popular and that they've changed; even though when this album came out, the same fans called it terrible for sounding different from their older stuff. Music fans can be really weird like that. I think all of their albums are great for their own reasons, (except for suck it and see) but that still had a few good songs.
if they just kept copying the first album they would become like oasis,and they were fkn atrocious after a few years. the monkeys latest album is class something oasis could never do
Paul Raasch YES thank you
Suck it and see it was bad
Idk what you're talking about, suck it and see is great
Weirdly, the two albums people at large didn't like are my favourites, Humbug and TBH&C
HUMBUG is so under-rated. It really deserves more success, anyway , I love it

About 10 or 11 years ago this was the first song I heard from Arctic Monkeys and its still such a banger
