Original manuscript of the track The Jeweller's Hands (2008/2009)
"so many great songs have been written here and this is a really great one @ arcticmonkeys the jeweler's hands.i still have a lot of handwritten original lyrics from any band that is cool enough to leave them here for me. i love hearing the @ bechstein.official piano on this track, and all others it appears on. it's my favorite piano sound in the world. fred and i bought it at @ shop_angelview thrift store after @ vicwillums found it and suggested we buy it to record it on her album she was readying to record here, musings of a creek dipper. our friend, the extremely talented and awesome @ trinashoemaker produced and engineered it.. i couldn't be happier that many find this little house in the desert inspiring. i know i have since the first day i walked through the door. love to all"
matt: “alex, on a scale of one to ten how does it feel to be in HD? if one was bad -”
alex: “- ten’s rad, right?”
matt: “ten’s rad”
alex: “well… i’m glad that it’s on a golf cart that i’m in HD”
THIS interview and THIS gif gives me the perfect picture and I think about it all the time.
"I wipe biscuit crumbs on the tail of my shirt before shaking the slender, almost weightless hand of Alex Turner."
"We'd lost the spark a bit, at the end of last year, with the live stuff. But we're ready for it again. I'm ready to look people in the eye," he'd said, staring at me just long enough for me to see my reflection in the black pits of his pupils.
And then he looked away.
