Directed by Richard Ayaode - Hudba
"Have you made the Cornerstone music video?"
"Yes."
"What did it cost?"
"Nothing."
His sense of style
His dignity
Hahaha
"A broken tape recorder and an ugly red sweater"
@@danarseptiyanto4066 hey but he looks adorable lmfao
Producer: We’re on a limited buget, okay?
Alex: I gotchu fam
Richard Ayoade who you might recognise from somewhere else directed the video
HAHAHAAHA
the fact that the lighting crew forgot to turn on the lamp and realized it at 2:42
Most of the budget went to Crying Lightning lmao
If u use the word fam instead of family ur a basic person with no mind or PERSONALITY of YOUR OWN 🙂
He had a walkman, a red coat, a white wall and a dream
What more do you need!
And thus created this masterpiece
hes so babygirl in this
2:42
The most special effects they could afford after Crying Lightning
LMAOOOOOOOOO
You evil LMAO jsxboqnasosvehidbwdoshebsowk
this is so funny
LOL
LMAO 😭😭😭😂😂😂
He looks so adorable here, like someone huggable
Looks softy and huggable
I agree 🥺
He does, indeed, look humbuggable
@@nicholasrodante8167 i see whatca did there
I'm so glad I was born in 2009, now. At first I was pissed that I was born too late to listen to them. But now I like it because I was born in the same year where Alex Turner's hair looked like that. And the same year where he looked as adorable as ever.
Shout out to Richard Ayoade for directing the most iconic music video to ever exist. The man knew what we wanted and he delivered
You mean to tell me this music video had a director?!?!
this thing had a director?
@@sk_lxr2920 yeah! It was directed by a British comedian named Richard Ayoade and he is one of my favorites! He is the only person who could have come up with this insane of a video 😂
@@breadmoneyarchival yeah! It was directed by a British comedian named Richard Ayoade and he is one of my absolute favorites! He’s the only person who could have come up with the insanity that is this video
he also directed a film Alex created the soundtrack for, Submarine (2010), if you haven't watched or listened. Please enjoy
2:23 I CAN’T THIS STARE, HE LITERALLY LOOKS IN MY SOUL 😭 I love this video so fricking much
ARE YOU THE EDITOR WHO DID THE NEVER WANTED TO DANCE WITH NOBODY BUT YOU OMG I FOLLOW YOU!!! YOURE SO GOOD AHHHH

OMGGG SOO CUTEEEEE
Ray Hesher hahaha
great genuine laugh from this belly.
So underrated comment!
she was close, close enough to be your ghost cookie
Well...they're selling like ghost cookies 😌👌🏽
very underrated
PAHAHA
You saved me from tears because of the song with this bro
lmao
Lyrics:
I thought I saw you in the Battleship
But it was only a look alike
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close
Close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if I could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered up for a closer look
And kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close
And she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely
"Please, can I call you her name?"
And I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak
Messin' with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm
It was close
So close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in Letraset
"No, you can't call me her name"
Tell me, where's your hiding place?
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
That she was close
Well, you couldn't get much closer
She said, "I'm really not supposed to, but yes
You can call me anything you want"
Thank you so much, never thought I'd found their lyrics to this song, but I elongated my lift homeeeeee
im going back to 505...
Not a huge arctic monkeys fan but
I must confess
This is some of the greatest song writing ive ever encountered in my life
me too
True
me too lately
Ummmm, song-writing is kind of what Alex turner is known for.
they are awesome....they are my favourite worst nightmare....
Plot twist : alex is listening to the strokes in the headphones and vibin
nice1
Lol best comment!
Maybe I guess so if it is your g
Right
Don't remind my g word I typed it mistakenly
He just wanted to be one of the strokes

The sweetest song about nailing your ex’s sister that was ever written.
This is an underrated comment lmao
💀💀💀💀
BESTIE EYE-
A fanfic que sonho.
Or nailing your dead girlfriend’s sister depending on who you ask.
I DONT SEE WHY PEOPLE ROAST HIM FOR THIS VID IT'S JUST A CUTE LIL MV 😭😭😭
the best memory I'll ever hold in my heart is that time when I was at their concert (front row) and, while he was singing Cornerstone, Alex came in front of me and my friends and did the "so close that the walls were wet" gesture while staring straight at us
AMAZING
@@Sangster972 out of your entire life, your best memory is a split second parasocial moment with a singer at a concert
@@stranded9225yes thats how that works sorry youve never gotten the opportunity
that wouldve been the coolest thing ever

HAHAHHAHAHA
1:16 murders me every time
Special effects 80lvl
LOOL YESSSSSSSS
It was so cute 😸
HAHAHHAHA
YES 😂😂
the little twirl at 2:11 😭
I love songs like this where there's a weird but realistic narrative, with some parts not making much or any sense but they go so well with the melody and you can't help but sing along every time you hear it
Yes and even though the meaning is not clear it still paints such a vivid picture in your mind
That hand flick when he says "when the walls are wet". Slick asf
I laughed so hard at this part! Was not expecting that
As a non native english speaker, what does he mean by "so close that the walls were wet"?
Wet with sweat.
@@TwskiTV Close means humid
i snorted so loud.
If you can't love me at my Cornerstone, you don't deserve me at my Arabella..
And dats on periodt💅
BYE- LMFAO
yesss
Who is arabela ??
aldilla Yudhistira it’s an arctic monkeys song
remember guys.
this man is the lead singer of one of the best rock bands to have ever existed...
this man is the man who many straight guys would give a one time pass to.
this man is the same man who wrote most of the lyrics to the album that revitalised and revolutionised modern rock, as well birthing many new rock artists...
have to disagree, there's a lot of great rock bands in the world, and this dude isn't necessarily an exception, so calm down fanboy, no straight guys are turning gay for this man, no matter how androgynous he attempts to appear...
@@theham9787 ok buddy, whatever you say. im sure someone who names their yt account "theham" is a very clever person who knows more than the average person. But clearly doesnt bcs he hasnt seen the many comments from boys saying they'd fuck alex turner, or the amount of indie and modern rock bands who actively acknowledge that they were inspired by Arctic Monkeys or that the inspiration the album AM had given to the rock community was significant. No one makes rock bands like the Brits, as much as America might try to argue. From an Australian, British roco bands are far superior. And if you go around asking people who their favourite rock band is, i can confirm it will mostly be arctic monkeys. I live in Australia and literally EVERYONE knows who Alex Turner is. Their not my favourite band, but i still respect them, bcs my favourite band took inspiration and made my favourite songs. So yeah i might come across as a fanboy, but "theham" i dont think you realise how big AM are, and fame isnt coincidental in the rock genre. 9 times out of 10 it means you're doing something right if you're getting a rock album in top 10 of America.
@@bill4665shut up mate, Alex Turner isn’t gonna shag you.
@@bill4665 get a life...
@@theham9787ummmmm ALEX TURNER is the best soooo how about you kick rocks you wanker
They just dropped the car and I'm obsessed and listening to all their albums all over again!

Lmaoo thats gold
no matter how cool alex tries to be, this will always be here.
I think thats the coolest he’s ever been and I’m not a fan, but saying this genuinely. I love this
this is undoubtedly the epitome of Alex's coolness obviously
i do not CARE what y’all think alex was adorable in this video ❤❤❤
ONG FRRRRRRRRR
People saying Alex is intimidating
Alex:
@NICOLLE DAYANNA MORENO ROJAS XD
I don't know why people say it. He's one of the cutest and funniest guys I've ever seen in my whole life. There's ***no*** reason to hate or fear him.
When he just states into the camera
This is the most intimidating he's ever looked.
I am highly intimidated by this version of Alex
When everyone is quarantined but you still need to make a music video
Twenty One Pilots who?
@@avadawn4872 damn, you cured my depression
That was jumat libur soundsystem , u can check
I legit LOLD omg
LMFAOOOO
10+ years later I still get goosebumps at the end of the song.
Sometimes I just let the video play, while I listen to the song... And sometimes, I watch the video, and every time I do, I find something that I'd forgotten about, and that I find hilarious each time. Whether it's him staring into my soul during the solo, or crouching down to pop up closer to the camera 😂. Thank God this music video exists tbh
Director: so what are you going to do during the solo
Alex: *stares at the director awkwardly
"wait like you don't have any ideas?"
"no like that's what I'm going to do during the solo"
it's good enough, shut up
Get Summed Up literally nobody said it was bad
@@tuansyafiq5177 you should not question creative decisions by Alex Turner
The director is Richard Ayoade. The creator of awkward stares.
3:05 Alex thinking "I nailed it"
LMAOOOOO
LMAOOOOOOOOOO FLFBWÑQBRLGBWÑDHFI
BYEAKHSUSQK 😭😭😭
Favorite comment ever 😂💀
@@kissmeunderneaththemoonssi8125 what the f*ck is ur username?
i like the transitions how Alex just croches and walks up to the camera for no reason
tbh when he was spinning a fully expected a sailor moon transformation
People are like "I won't forget this video Alex, you can't fool me with your sunglasses and leather jackets" but this video just proves he is perfect. He is human and seems so much sweeter than he gets portayed nowadays. I'd kiss your heart, Alexander! Can't believe I am seeing them in July!❤
Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
1:32 *walls were wet*
Touches the wall
*flicks fingers*
Imagine the whole human civilization wiped out and this is the only evidence our existence left.
I’d be very happy with that
LMAO
Wee have the same profile picture 😂😂
@@mushfikatasnim5421 hello twin. get some teeth whitening sometime 💋
that would be nice.
Watched it 3 times today, fav video on the internet 😭
I love all Arctic Monkeys tracks but... no one of the have this MASTERPICE as the music video
when he goes down and then gets up it’s literally the funniest part of the video BECAUSE I CAN SEE HIM WHEN HE’S DOWN
RIGHT AHAHAHAHA
Yeahhh😂😂
NO FR
WHERE DID HE GO 😂
IKR HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS SO PRECIOUS
It doesn’t matter how many hairstyles or leather jackets you have I will never forget this video alex
Yes!
ngl I think about this comment a lot whenever I see the complete and utter THIRST in the Arabella comments
he is normal now
definitely ✋🏼
TRUE.
this man can make no effort and still be the most perfect person on planet earth. he is SO real. and his voice is magical
Some of the best songwriting ever ever. Ever. Such energy in the lyrics.
Unpopular opinion: I really like this minimalist take on a music video
Everybody loves this video. It’s just meme material af.
Kramas Music this
they spent the budget on crying lightning dude...
Most people love this video though
we all do
The fact that this didnt win an award for best music video is disgusting
Kindly look up this song Time by The Impures
Ugh fr fr
agreed
Real
EXACTLY
This is lyrical/musical perfection, such a great song live aswell!!
the lyrics are actually soooo romantic i can’t think of anything but this line “tell me where’s your hiding place? i’m worried i’ll forget your face”
So romantic, fucking their sister
Alex trying to be a bad boy:
Cornerstone music video exist🧍🏼
Bad boy? He's probably stil a mafia boss
1:18 Man, these special effects are terrific.
I love love love that precious moment lol
Daniel Albarracín hahahaha!..so modern!
LMAO
crying
help me im dying from laughter
Am I the only one who thinks this video is a peace of art?... I mean, how can't you see how versatile and histrionic this guy is!
I love the part with "wet walls" . amazing acting lol
Ten years later, this song still breaks my heart and makes me laugh.
me rn
x2
Same ong
Yeah... For some reason these lyrics sound to me like a Charlie Chaplin sketch

Literally

Lmaoo that's so so funny 😂😂😂

Oh god… I think I’m about to breakdown.
This album was about a month old when I was born, and my dad was (and still is) a Monkeys fan and had this album on his iPod and played it so much, and forever imprinted these songs in my brain.
Earlier this year, I got really back into the Monkeys and listened to all the albums again. And when this song came on, everything came flowing back.
There’s such an intense feeling of nostalgia accompanied with this song for me. I don’t wanna grow up man.
Thank you Arctic Monkeys for existing. Don’t know what I’d do without you.
I was sixteen when this album came out and at the time i didn't know the Monkeys but for some reason this song makes me nostalgic.
I was two when this album was released. You are so lucky to have a parent who would play arctic monkeys, I wish I could’ve discovered then at an earlier age but they still changed my life.
I just read an interview where Alex talks about this video and I just wanted to leave you with this quote, because I think it's quite wholesome:
"...try to make it like a non-video. But that video was definitely summat we could have only done together. I was probably still reluctant doing it even with Richard. We did a version of it in his living-room one night, where I just couldn't get through it without laughing. It was the same when we actually shot it - both cracking up, trying to keep a straight face as I did a little pirouette."
thanks for this message. I can't imagine how hilarious it was during the shot
Link of the video please?
@@Guantes26301 It's not a video but a written article but if you want you can read it here: www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/periscope-up-richard-ayoade-and-alex-turner-unite-their-talents-in-hot-new-brit-flick-submarine-2243847.html
this made me love this video even more :)
Then it's explained why he leaves the scene more than once
for personal reasons I will be purchasing a red sweater
It's my next haloween costume
Me too
If i buy a red sweater i could be Alex and girl in red.
lets all dress up as alex for this year Halloween xD
@@alexckozume that was my plan for this Halloween.
We can all thank "crying lightning" for the budget of this masterpiece
this song has become a cornerstone for me. after every hardship, after every heartbreak, i come to this song and start healing again. and each time i think i come back as a stronger and more whole person
The acting. The dancing. The gestures and movements. All 10/10.
I give four out of five
amo demais!
2d quick do a collab song
20/20
he's just perfect :')
How did he do this with a straight face
angelica salmeron thats what amazes me too! people say he is awkward, but didnt seem anything like that at all in here..maybe he really likes acting!
angelica salmeron who the fuck laughing when AM song's playing? NOBODY!
+saul alejandro exactly
+saul alejandro that explains everything
Special K Kata Kálmán Thank You, took me a while to come up with that theory. Lol
Up to today, still my favourite Arctic Monkeys song by far
This song is one of my favorites, is impossible to pick just one, cause all their songs are epic, they leave me speechless with their talent, every album is a gift.
Whenever I feel down, I just come to this comment section. It’s heartwarming to see everyone making fun of Alex in such an endearing way, like we’re all old friends.
Me too...
me too i cry🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
yeah
Yeahh mee toooo
guys let's hug together 😭
DOES HE EVER BLINK
Blinking is overrated he might think 😂
I REALLY REWATCHED IT JUST TO SEE IF HE BLINKED ... he didn’t at all 😂😂😂
Omg 😳 yes I see it now you said it!
2:29 he does
i counted 7 i think
el amor de mi vida , MI VARON
Dont let this song die.I'll listen to this song, forever
The way he says "she held me very tightly" and put his hand on his arm akwardly at 0:47 is actually hilarious
Ikr, is he capable of doing anything not awkwardly?! XD
Such a precious soul
2:27 when you’re up at the front of the room waiting for the class to quiet down so you can present
Amanda 😂
When the teacher says your name and how you’re waiting
lmao
HAHAHHAHAHA
2:47 when the class already lose interested with your presentation
this feels... REALLY intimate in a really awkward but weirdly authentic way. like watching a teenager singing into the mirror at night. i think i've enacted this exact music video on accident alone in my room before like that.
Just love this, especially how we extends and arcs the note on the last words!
THE WAY HE JUST STOOD THERE DURING THE GUITAR SOLO HE REALLY SAID 👁👄👁🧍♂️
Tf is 👁👄👁♂️
@@hexa3389 💀💀
what
BAHAHAHAHA HE WAS JUST 🧍♂️
I love what he does with the walls at 1:32 and also writes NO in the air, i think i love him 😭
ITS THE FUNIEST PART OF THE VIDEO
I love this song sm, it comforts me in an unexplainable way
when you spend the whole budget on the crying lightning video and you have to record the cornerstone one in your living room, holding some random stuff you found under your bed, with a lamp for special effects and all that in one shot :
let's talk about how this is the best video ever
okeyyy>??
***** No. You are spamming every single indie video with this.
Wait, is that Harry in your profile pic? If it is, you are awesome.
You’re joking right?
I tried singing it... czcams.com/video/rBsR_9xxtDw/video.html
Producer: We need a music video but can only afford this red sweater.
Alex: say no more
i’m dying lol
haahahh im crying
LMAO
Hahaha I love this comment
LOL
the way he ducks down at 1:18 but u can see his back creeping towards the camera
13 years ago i was eleven years old, barely knew what a monkey was, and 3 days ago, now twenty four yo, i singed this song at an Arctic Monkeys show, time passes and AM is still one of the best bands i've ever heard of
How would u not know what a monkey was at 11 😭 that’s a preteen
@@koiba4564 bro, i'm joking
I heard of this band first in an english text book (kinda golden to be so important you're teached about in an english glass) I laughed at the name then as it made little sense. It still doesn't make sense but now beginning to think many things he writes don't. And then they come together, forming the unique and pretty songs of arctic monkeys.
this is the peak attractiveness on a male human, you may not agree with it, but it's the truth.
I agree
Yes!
yup
I mean, Miles Kane was definitely attracted
@@federicapiottoli6922 lmao i concur!
I love it when Turner just stood still at 2:24 during the guitar solo. ICONIC
nabila huda you know he had to do it to em
reminded me of liam gallagher haha
@@MrGosportsteam BWAHAHA now I can't remove it from my head 😂
Lol
someone made an edit of him doing it to em
such a masterpiece
i mean you can't deny he looks alarmingly cool yet awfully nerdy in this and i LOVE IT
Alex Turner can pretend to be cool with his leather jacket and quiff, but that won't change the fact that the Cornerstone music video happened
Best comment ever haha
Bravo!
lmfaoooooo
Didn't someone tweet this..?
that's exactly what makes him so cool, but that's just me
When your parents aren't home and you find the old camera of the family
Leonardo Gabriel Yesssss
Leonardo Gabriel LOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Leonardo Gabriel STOOPP THESE COMMENTS I'M DYING 😂💀
hahah💗
Hahahaha! So on point🤣🤣
this mv made me change
what do you mean by that 🤨
This video will forever be iconic, and this song will forever be amazing.
WHY DOES HE LOOK SO SERIOUS I'M CRYING
Sometimes I think Alex Turner wears sunglasses and leather jackets and tries to act cool to try to make people forget that this music video exists
YEPP
bingo
Hahah hahahahaha this funny!!
HHA
YEAH LOL
saw them live last saturday, and during cornerstone i couldn't stop thinking about this ICONIC video
So cute. The video, the lyrics, the melody. Im not a fan but this right here was wortwhile :)
2:42 Those special effects that Crying Lightning doesn’t have.
Hallelujah...
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
That was perfect
Honestly this is such a look tho. I call it "uncle who has had one too many margaritas at an event that does not serve margaritas"
+classystegosuarus The clothes are similar, Alex definitely drinks margaritas so I think it's a nice description!
'4 Margaritas!'
'Sorry sir we d-'
'No, 4 Margaritas!'
This will forever be a classic.
