Arctic Monkeys - The Afternoon's Hat

One of my favorite EP's from the Arctic Monkeys.
I do not own this song. For listening purposes only.

[@ana.stuhec]

It's unbelievable how after all this time and thinking I listened to all their songs, still find tracks that make me speechless

[@DiaconescuAndrei]

THAT'S WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW GOD

[@ana.stuhec]

+Andrei Diaconescu It's unbelievable! I love them even more for that! They make me feel things I didn't even know I could feel.

[@DiaconescuAndrei]

Yeah, ik. They're amazing.

[@andrewkennedy6265]

I no... were did this come from from

[@jasonludlow638]

Blonde o sonic shimmer is a great b-side too

[@kitspapp]

1:13 that little guitar lick is so good

[@MalWashington]

What an absolute gem of a song. Miss those days.

[@ahnafquietus9638]

[@MrBertCobain]

This song is so underrated it's untrue

[@storress609-4]

Seems like all their songs are underrated

[@Wal3R]

How could they cut this out from Humbug???

[@LuanPrates]

Crying lightning has the same chords, I think it's a good excuse to cut this master piece... This song and Crying lightning don't remind each other, but they have Am, F and Dm in their body chorus... Maybe they tough fans would say they were in some way without creativity or something... But I love this song, and Crying lightning speacially. Take care!

[@Wal3R]

That was the only excuse I could think of too, I noticed the similar progressions when I played both

[@Rodolka]

it was recorded after Humbug, in 2010 ;)

[@Secumind]

Rodolka They surely had demos before the recording.

[@Rodolka]

Yeah, but maybe the song wasn't finished by then. We don't know. Cheers!

[@claran828]

criminally underrated :'(((

[@witrodunne345]

Made me kiss ya' with a whisper And violently you swung, through unfamiliar tongue Couldn't listen to tradition, grabbed me by the wrist to silently insist And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoon's hat Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at You stood shirtless and confident Listenin' to the fools, tickling the rules Their obsessions follow patterns Sat upon their stools, with their attitudes And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoon's hat Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at When I'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoon's hat Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at

[@findleyrocks]

i'm legitimately pissed at myself for loving them hardcore for like 3 years and not knowing about this song.

[@ayush2073]

the bassline is so hypnotic on this

[@canalla90]

this song is so underrated, I dont know why they hide a lot of this songs in b-sides, catapult, fright lined dining room, too much to ask, etc...

[@tessamohammed]

How this song didn't make the album I'll never know. It's better than most of the tunes on humbug - don't get me wrong, humbug is a great album which makes the omission of this beauty even more baffling.
