lately ive been obsessed with the fact that when alex sings on stage, he can never keep his eyes open for more than a few seconds at a time, and even then they’re half-lidded
#alex turner#arctic monkeys#it’s like even after all these years and all the performances they’ve done and done again he still can’t bear to look at the crowd#how he always said he hated being the centre of attention and here he is at the pinnacle of his career at the height of scrutiny#it’s like there’s still a part of him that’s questioning his own fame and overwhelming superstardom#pretending like they’re still playing in intimate sheffield pubs and not to sold out stadium tours and festivals with tens of thousands#of fans#it feels like there’s a sort of celestial veil between him and his audience that also comes across in his stage antics#why seeing him perform live whether in person or on the screen feels sort of surreal and mystical#like the music comes first and he just follows wherever it goes#anyways im rambling ill stop now
