...and so here we are, footprints on the ceiling and
screaming the words in each others faces, sharing in it
like a party we might have hoped it could have been had we
closed our eyes and dreamed hard enough on the bus on the
way into town. An Arctic Monkey or four screaming at I the
Rev Rarsclart, eyes bulging, faces red with the joy of it
all. London, Glasgow, Wakefield wherever...
And the people who have shared it. Those who felt some
connection with getting on their Dancing Shoes, a Mardy Bum
or Scummy Man or something. There's these moments on which
it all turns. I have two or three, London, a French Kiss in
the Chaos. Maybe even a full house and not Al, as lead
singer. You might have others where you first felt
something stir in your belly. Or you might be re More...
Review about Arctic Monkeys In my opinion | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song A Certain Romance performed by Arctic Monkeys
in my opinion its about how love is over rated in teenage life and how us teens strive to "get a girlfriend" when its purley material and fashionable to have a boy/girlfriend. to them its a joke and pretend its like treating a person like an item keep it then throw it away when your bored
songs! | Reviewer: jim
------ About the song When The Sun Goes Down performed by Arctic Monkeys
i love all arctic monkey's song, they are all good specially: when the sun goes down, i bet that you look good on the dancefloor, fake tales of san francisco, yellow bricks, dancing shoes, a certain romance, balclava, the bad thing, and of course, perhaps vampires is a bit strong but. I recomend all!

------ About the song A Certain Romance performed by Arctic Monkeys
obviously this is a more typical example of british life. in fact you could say northern british life because the artic monkeys are from there of course and they write songs on their own experience. but like all music it has a wider meaning.
best song, lyrics and music wise. seen em live at reading 09 (this year) it was IMMENSE.
byyy the way, this song.... i nthink it has to be what he sees from his apartement "view" in the afternoon. people getting drunk? or acting idiotic. infact it wouldnt surprise me if this was written in the studio whilst recording pre-written tracks. if you get what i mean
MAAAAN THEY ARE SOOO GOOD. even their new stuff, its still good, just not as.

------ About the song A Certain Romance performed by Arctic Monkeys
i think this song talks about how all the shit teens do today is so empty, relationships with anyone, and they do stuff without good reason. for example looking cool just to make yourself feel better than everyone else...."
Teenagers.. I hate them so much and I am one. It's the quest for authenticity that lead them to stupidity because they can't get there head around what is real or not. I dated a girl for four years because I thought she was just like me, but she's like the youth of today.. Idiocy grabs hold of all those 'round. The worst part is, these people are supposed to be the future of tomorrow.. Isn't the world getting fucked up?
this song is about rock writers, rock critics, the enemy of the rock bands!!!. so I bet you look good on the dancefloor, why do you talk about us??, you are nothing, first go and play in a band and then review us. sry for my english. great song.
Hence why Cecilia stated there are 2 versions. there is a version that says oh spending all your money on trendy hair cuts that you reckon are cool and you're probably alreeet but under these lights you look beautiful and i'm struggling i can't see through your fake tan :D get it right yourself and dont be so aggressive any true monkeys fan would know.
I love the artic monkeys, they are amazing, and so origional, does anyone no if there going to do anymore concerts any time EVER !? I know theyve not had songs out in a while, but i still love them :D xxx

"Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks"
Well clearly it's talking about stereotypes (I feel that it mostly reflects the chav-emo divide that's been going on for a while in Britain but it can also be applied to every country where sub-cultures are clashing against each-other which is causing the 'lack of romance around here' that the Arctic Monkeys are talking about.)
So it's not about either americans or britons, it's about subcultures in any country clashing.
Foolish xenophobic comments...

To Lee, who the fuck are you to take anyone seriously? You sound like a fucking child when you act like Americans are following Brits just hoping they will accept them. Coming from someone who lives in the states, no one gives a shit whether you take us seriously or not.

As a wise man once said:
'Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it.' Liam Gallagher.
They will never understand our sophisticated and superior music scene, and these little yank kids posting frankly, utter bullshit just proves it.
Psst, make more bands like Kings of Leon, The Eagles and The Killers, and less like fucking My Chemical Romance, and we might start to take you seriously.

A Certai Romance | Reviewer: rob
------ About the song A Certain Romance performed by Arctic Monkeys
i think that the song is talking about teenagers and kids in general. It doesn't really matter where you live, teenagers are always the same, no matter where you are. there are a million different groups and theres always the group that thinks theyre better than everyone else, people that live to be what other people want them to be. that they only like people who other people like. and if they only like what other people love, then there really is no love for themselves, romance. its kinda sad...
i really like the line "There's only music, so that there's new ringtones". It really shows whats happening today. people dont appreciate music for what it is, and how people only listen to music that other people would approve of. i dunno, cell phones, computers facebook, its all slowly tearing apart our society, and the things that really matter like music, are slowly disappearing... at least good music.

------ About the song Cigarette Smoker Fiona performed by Arctic Monkeys
of course they changed it, dumbfuck. Cigarette smoke was a GREAT song, but it wasn't allowed on the EP because it's lyrics were too explicit, so they had two choices:
1- be a spoiled brat and give up on an amazing song because they didn't want to change the lyrics.
2- change the lyrics and publish it on the EP, so more people would listen to it when they bought the EP.
I started listening to Arctic Monkeys a few years back and i have loved them since day one.
they literally do not have a bad song.
Both there first two albums have been outstanding with hit after hit.
I love Arctic Monkeys lyrics, they are witty & blunt.
I cant wait for there next album
well, i just loved the song | Reviewer: renata
------ About the song A Certain Romance performed by Arctic Monkeys
well, i just loved the song, and i don't care if it is about yanks or british teenagers, i think they HAVE a point. We should not be rebels just because it is cool or because we like funky hairstyles. We should really think why are we against the society but because WE believe in our own arguments.
Anyways, i'm inlove with the vocal.
its not about chavs | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song A Certain Romance performed by Arctic Monkeys
its not about chavs, its about different social groups stuck on the same estate, he's saying it doesnt matter what they define themselves as, but they don't feel romance, and they feel angry and aggressive.
they all feel like they can have a few cans and act up, chav or indie kid.
they are stubborn and set in their ways (most young adults are) but it doesnt matter cos they are his friends people he feels pity for, but he wont get angry because he understands them.
So no its not about america, but how can it not relate youth culture in inner city areas!?!
