THE STORY OF MILEX
On the back of the CD cover of the third single of Arctic Monkeys, which includes covers as b-sides Put Your Dukes Up John & Baby, I’m Yours there is a small essay written by Alex. After such "notes in the side" he will do in the era of the second album, FWN.
(Very loudly, Alexander!):
"And they were left with their good friend Speculation,it was felt to be the best way. It was hard to be sure but was certainly suspected there were many unanswered questions,perhaps more amongst some than others. “We’ll meet again,on a more weathered landscape” was thought but never really said".
Pure and genius (!) a metaphor mixed with an idiom which translates from AlexTurnerish to human means: In that situation/at that time, they could only guess when they could work together again, but both wanted it, although they didn’t really said. And this desire, not spoken aloud, sounds like an intention.
And on the disc itself, the phrase:
“With cries of ‘the boy’s gone soft!’ they will part, not a moment too soon”.
And that was Alex's promise, ladies and gents. Which was executed about a year later! Is someone talking about romance? Yes, definitely.
To be continued…

Taking is slow. I'm tired of rushing through life and letting my days and months fly by unnoticed in a furious flurry. Clearly, I'm not about that life anymore. Peace. ✌🏽️☀️ #babyimyours #takingitslow #slowdown #life #arcticmonkeys #chillvibes #slowvibes #easylikesundaymorning #leavebeforethelightscomeon (at Detroit, Michigan)

(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v56zler07l0) I'll walk you up, what times the bus come? ♪ "That wont be necessary, I'll walk there alone. Thank you!" - Alex Turner btw: couldn’t find the original blog from tumblr :( but found the video.

They woke up together not quite realizing how. All the stretching and moaning, it's always hard in the morning #LeaveBeforeTheLightsComeOn #ArcticMonkeys #AlexTurner

Well this is a good idea, He wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t, He wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t one. Well my friend fancies you, Oh what a way to begin it all, You said, “It’s always exciting words to hear”
And we woke up together not quite realising how, Awkwardly stretching and yawning, Its always hard in the morning,
And I suppose that’s the price you pay, Well oh it isn’t what it was, She’s thinking he looks different today, And now there’s nothing left to guess now,
You left before the lights came on, Because they didn’t want to ruin, What it was that was brewing, Before they absolutely had to, And how can you wake up, With someone you don’t love? And not feel slightly fazed by it, Oh, he had a struggle,
And they woke up together not quite realising how, Awkwardly stretching and yawning, It’s always hard in the morning,
And I suppose that’s the price you pay, Well oh it isn’t what it was, She’s thinking he looks different today, And now there’s nothing left to guess now,
Quick, let’s leave, before the lights come on, ‘Cos then you don’t have to see, ‘Cos then you don’t have to see, What you’ve done…
Quick, let’s leave, before the lights come on, ‘Cos then you don’t have to see, ‘Cos then you don’t have to see, What you’ve done…
I’ll walk you up, what time’s the bus come?

My friends and I climbed up to this balcony in the auditorium that is next to the stage and gratified our names on the walls. It was as scary as I remembered in being Freshman year, but better because we are the only true Stage Crew.
