Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?

When the world is in the palm of your hands, waiting with baited breath as you run your fingers through your now legendary quiff; what must run through Alex Turner's mind when penning a song for his bands 5th studio album? What wonders of mischief and magic can spring to mind? Apparently, that time he got high after being in a club, remembering about the girl he dropped awhile ago then ringing her up and getting pied. Standard Arctic Monkeys.

"It's three in the morning / and I'm tryna' change your mind" the booming vocals ring out across the top of a heavy bass line and curdle with Matt Helders steady balance of repetitive drum beats. The song is good, there's no doubt about it. It's the future of Arctic Monkeys and a tasty splash of what we're to expect for the imaginatively named 5th album 'AM'. But is Turner trying to conjure up where his life is heading?

It's fair to say that even extreme Arctic Monkey's fangirls who scream at the sight of a quiff, don't really know anything about the Monkey's private lives. For many of the naive fans, which god help them there are some, they won't have even know Turner and co. even thought about drugs, as they've never really been that glamorised in a Monkey's song before. So why now?

If we assume that this bass line-driven song with sickly slick vocals is about Turner, then who is he ringing at three in the morning while completely off his face? Girlfriend Arielle Vandenberg? Or another secret dark source that rhymes with Nexta Sung? Who knows and who cares, with a hauntingly catchy song like this one; the Monkey's will be soaking up the praise and boosting their album sales.

Grabbing a hold on an early nineties tune dripping with swagger and mixing it with an electric vibe full of power; the song is sure to send fans the right way and shouting the ever-so-catchy line of "why'd you only call me when you're high?"

It's new, it's fresh, and it's a step into the future and a sight into the ever-ageing Alex Turner's mind. They're not sitting in the fish and chip shop any more - that much is for sure.
