Taylor Swift praises Stevie Nicks before performing ''Clara Bow'' as a surprise song at tonight's show:
''This one's a pretty easy one because I've never played this song live at all. The reason I wanna play this song tonight is because a friend of mine is here who is watching the show. She has been one of the reasons why I or any artists get to do what we do. She has become friends with so many female artists just to be a guiding hand. I can't tell you how rare that is. She's a hero of mine and also someone that I could tell her any secret and she would never tell anybody. She's really helped me through so much over the years, I'm talking about Stevie Nicks.''
The title track from Miles Kane’s fifth studio album seems to express a sense of dedication and commitment from Miles towards another. The lyrics suggest a strong desire to provide support and light in someone’s life, even when feeling like they’ve lost everything. Miles seems as a sole performer, a “one-man band,” willing to go to great lengths to bring brightness and positivity into the other person’s life, symbolized by singing about brighter days and keeping the darkness away. There’s a theme of loneliness mixed with determination and a plea for recognition, asking to be heard and acknowledged for the effort put into being there for someone else (source: genius, one man band lyrics)
Given Miles use of she pronouns, this now makes me think he is the 'she' of Secret Door. Miles is a giggler and Alex never notices anything else when Miles is around...
-Miles looking up and pointing at the mirrorball while singing the lines "I stare up to the moon, and my lonely heart goes boom boom boom once again" during “One Man Band”.
-Alex reaching out for and smiling at a turtle plushie somebody threw on stage before they started playing “Arabella”.
-Alex saying: “Let’s hear it for Miles Kane! Wonderful.” before playing “Fluorescent Adolescent”
-Alex adding: “Do you remember? I remember…” while pointing at Miles at the end of “Fluorescent Adolescent” after the lights went out.
-Miles watching “505” from the side of the stage with Alex repeatedly turning to his right side.
-Alex singing “I Wanna Be Yours” turned to his right for the entirety of the song while walking to the corner of the stage. (After adding the line “I DON’T WANNA BE HERS, I WANNA BE YOURS” while the lights were out, the night before, in Belfast.)
-Alex pointing at Miles and then at himself while singing the line “I found out the hard way that here ain’t no place for dolls like you and me” and singing the rest of the verse directly at that side.
Thank you to everyone who came out for night two in Dublin! Enormous thank you also to @lastdinnerparty for gracing the tour these last few weeks. It’s been an absolute pleasure to have you with us!
Trying to be normal about this and failing. Never thought I’d hear Alex say Daddy but here we are. Also since when does he acknowledge important dates on the day 😂
Also also, I wonder if singing Star Treatment is like in honour of Father’s Day because of that story about Alex’s Dad explaining stars to him as a kid.
