"Only Ones Who Know"
Arctic Monkeys
Favourite Worst Nightmare

Nmber of listens: ||
Stars (out of 5): 4

I love the Arctic Monkeys. I liked them after their first album, but after getting Favourtie Worst Nightmare I have had a renewed love for them. I like Alex Turner's voice a lot and also think that their songs are catchy in the best way.

This is one of their slow songs and it's quite simple with basic chords being strummed to accompany what sounds like a far away voice. I'm not sure I would change anything about the track. Sometimes when I listen to it, I keep expecting it to pick up at some point and it doesn't. It's not a bad thing,but I guess I'm so used to hearing more upbeat Arctic Monkeys that an entire slow song can sometimes throw me.

In a foreign place
The saving grace was the feeling
That it was her heart that he was stealing
He was ready to impress
And the fierce excitement
The eyes are bright
He couldn't wait to get away
And I bet that Juliet was just the icing on the cake
Make no mistake, no

And even if somehow he could have shown you
The place you wanted
Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own
And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch
But all the little promises that don't mean much
When there's memories to be made
And I hope you're holding hands by New Year's Eve
They made it far too easy to believe
That true romance can't be achieved these days

And even if somehow they could have shown you the place you wanted
Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own
You are the only ones who know
