Tortoise / turtle in this poem that dates back to the third century BC
for reference - she - Sappho from the island of Lesbos is a greek poet who primarily loved women this is evident across plenty of her poetry. Terms sapphic and lesbian were coined from the existence of Sappho years after her existence.
My theory regarding: There's Better Be A Mirrorball by Arctic Monkeys
[PART 1]
In 2013 Arctics published an album called AM. An album that could stand for many things some ideas of what it could be is...
After Midnight / Amplitude Modulation / Alex Miles
in 2016 a TLSP song was published with a film called: Miracle Aligner. The first two letters of each word start with Mi & Al. Remind you of anything or rather anyone familiar? To me reminds me of Miles and Alex.
MI-racle Al-igner.
There'd Better Be A Mirrorball makes me think of something or someone's similar...
MI-rrorb-AL-l. That's literally Alex and Miles' first two initials of their first names nature within the word mirrorball itself. Coincidence for the song by AM? I THINK NOT. Also what's funny in a positive sense to me is Mirrorball and Miracle Aligner sound similar because of 'Mir' and 'al' sounds. Is this a coincidence even? I THINK NOT ALSO!

My interpretation / findings regarding TLSP: Everything You’ve Come To Expect (album)
PART 1: The Album Cover
The initial interesting thing about EYCTE is it’s album cover:
The image is a photograph of Tina Turner taken from a photography session on 25 November 1969 by photographer Jack Robinson.
Jack Robinson is renowned for his work in the 1960s for his photography of fashion and celebrity portraits he shot for Vogue and Vanity Fair. In 1972, he gave up photography and found a creative outlet in the designing of stained glass windows. However, what’s most prominent and most interesting to me about him is that his work preserved valuable glimpses into the New Orleans gay subculture of the 1950s. During this time, Jack fell in love with a young man named Gabriel, whom he photographed many times - often in the nude. In 1954, Robinson and Gabriel travelled to Mexico. There, Robinson captured Mexican scenes in large and medium format photographs. He also photographed his travelling companions, including Gabriel and Betty Parsons- an American artist, art dealer, collector, and lesbian well renowned for her early promotion of Abstract Expressionism.
Aswell- the album cover for EYCTE is an image of Tina Turner- well-renowned singer/songwriter who is famously known for standing up and advocating for LGBTQIA+ community and rights in times when rarely any celebrities would because as we know they were irrational cowards then unfortunately.
Anyways ;) according to interviews, Alex Turner had the photograph hanging in his kitchen, and both our Monkey and Turtle (Miles Kane) liked the image so much that they ended up using it. When they got permission to use it, the original b/w photograph was giving a goldeny / orangey / yellowish tinge- On the LGBTQIA+ flag yellow represents sunlight. Orange represents healing. Sunlight is commonly a metaphor for: the light of truth and being. And the definition of healing is: to make well again.
