Alex Turner is a songwriting genius. This is a line from the song "Fire and the Thud" that I absolutely love - "If it's true you're gonna run away, tell me where, I'll meet you there".

Also “Would it be outrageous to say we're either shouting or we're shagging? Docked in tempestuous bays, at least that's how we felt yesterday. The eyes are getting heavier and whether you're asleep or awake is a mystery”

The idea that you may kiss it again is stuck in my brain, which hasn't stopped thinking about you since, well, before any kiss. And now the prospect of those kisses seems to wind me like when you slip on the stairs and one of the steps hits you in the middle of the back.

its more like he is bad at interviews rather than conversations. his mind just goes way faster than his mouth can keep up with and so we end up with 5 words a minute but if you're patient enough and put them together, those are genius sentences. also the fact that he absolutely hates interviews which adds to the stress and slows him down further. all of the interviews in which the interviewers craft the scene as a conversation are the ones in which he is the most interactive. but if someone's just shooting questions after questions, that's a train wreck.

I think the issue is that none of these people (except maybe Florence W) studied poetry. So they think that songwriting skills can translate over when Poetry is a deceptively skilled form of wiring that needs practice and study. I think if Frank Ocean or Taylor studied a bit of poetry they would shoot to the poet bar next to Florence. Same goes for Potter, that's quite good for 17!

i ADORE florence welch. this poem is one of my favorites: RAGE I’m worried we are entering an age of rage, Where only anger will be considered as an asset And the gentle will be mocked, then eaten. Those with soft voices will have their tongues cut out, As punishment for not using them the right way. Don’t you know your words are weapons, Kindness is obsolete, As obsolete as handwriting, As obsolete as silence and darkness in a city.

This reminded me so much of the words of Thucydides about the change of the meaning of words (he was talking about a time of war): “The regular meaning of words changed to fit the state of affairs. Insane risk was now bravery for an ally; careful forethought was cowardice; moderation was considered an excuse for being unmanly; circumspection was an unwillingness to commit; heedless attacks was termed manly behavior, and self-defense was a bland excuse for conspiracy”.
