Arctic Monkeys - 505

I know I know…the Arctic Monkeys *rolls eyes a little*. I know they had that one really popular song which I can’t even recall anymore a couple years ago that got totally played out, but this is a really good little song. I really don’t know anything about the Arctic Monkeys at all. I also know I’m doing a lot of Songs of the Day lately, but I really love using that new little flash player doodad. You can’t download anything so I don’t feel too guilty, but it allows my faithful bounty of return visitors to listen inline while reading. And Seeqpod was getting a bit too unreliable. People moving their own files…the nerve! So I guess I’m feeling newly excited and inspired.

I don’t know why I have this song, actually…maybe it was from adventures in RadioLover? It’s one of those songs that takes its time to build and then just lets it out on ya. Those are always good. I love his accent, too. It has that classic intangible desperation that always wins me over musically, as well. I like to hear people’s pain in melody-form. It makes me feel alive and full of passion. And I’m always worrying about something, so like attracts like!

“…I’m always just about to go and spoil a surprise, take my hands off of your eyes too soon…”
