#young Alex’s voice on songs like teddy picker has undeniable charm and meaning to them but hearing the older songs (hell even am tracks)…

I don’t even know how to describe that moment when Arctic monkeys stepped on stage and began casting their magic. I’ve seen so many artists in the last years and never cried but the moment the sculptures of anything goes instrumental hit my ear drum, I couldn’t see anymore. Alex’s voice emerged and the floodgates burst open. The breathtaking, lingering power building and sinking into the audience with each note. The mixed emotions invoked by the song - the longing, the nostalgia, the awe, the growth, the familiarity, the promise of the unknown, the stunning beauty of the melodies. By the bridge I couldn’t hold in the full body wracking sobs, I was so overwhelmed.

What an incredible night, singing along to long-time cherished songs and deepening my love and appreciation for the talents of the band today. Truly unforgettable and moving. I’m so grateful.
