Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone (Official Video) 

"Have you made the Cornerstone music video?" "Yes." "What did it cost?" "Nothing."

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

He had a walkman, a red coat, a white wall and a dream

hes so babygirl in this

Producer: We’re on a limited buget, okay? Alex: I gotchu fam

2:42 The most special effects they could afford after Crying Lightning

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"

Shout out to Richard Ayoade for directing the most iconic music video to ever exist. The man knew what we wanted and he delivered

1:37 "hey im alex turner and ur watching disney channel"

Plot twist : alex is listening to the strokes in the headphones and vibin

2:23 I CAN’T THIS STARE, HE LITERALLY LOOKS IN MY SOUL 😭 I love this video so fricking much

Not a huge arctic monkeys fan but I must confess This is some of the greatest song writing ive ever encountered in my life

Imagine the whole human civilization wiped out and this is the only evidence our existence left.

If you can't love me at my Cornerstone, you don't deserve me at my Arabella..

It’s Alex’s birthday today and I’m celebrating his life drinking wine and listening to all of his iconic songs. Happy Birthday you legend.

He looks so adorable here, like someone huggable

The sweetest song about nailing your ex’s sister that was ever written.

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

she was close, close enough to be your ghost cookie

2:23 Me waiting for my professor to stop chatting with her colleague so I could start my PowerPoint presentation.

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

They just dropped the car and I'm obsessed and listening to all their albums all over again!

Alex trying to be a bad boy: Cornerstone music video exist🧍🏼

Director: so what are you going to do during the solo Alex: *stares at the director awkwardly

When he crawls under the screen to the camera, my ability to breathe evaporated, i was cackling so hard

no matter how cool alex tries to be, this will always be here.

When everyone is quarantined but you still need to make a music video

2:23 the demon of my room at 3 am waiting me to stop crying so he can scare me

i do not CARE what y’all think alex was adorable in this video ❤❤❤

the little twirl at 2:11 😭

1:19 *WARNING STUNNING JUMPSCARE*

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."

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

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!❤

2:42 this is some avengers level effects

People saying Alex is intimidating Alex:

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

10+ years later I still get goosebumps at the end of the song.

It doesn’t matter how many hairstyles or leather jackets you have I will never forget this video alex

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

I love the part with "wet walls" . amazing acting lol

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

i watch this religiously 3 times a day

2:23 me & my friends waiting for the teacher to stop roasting us and our powerpoint so we can sit back

This is lyrical/musical perfection, such a great song live aswell!!

I love all Arctic Monkeys tracks but... no one of the have this MASTERPICE as the music video

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.

1:16 murders me every time Special effects 80lvl

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!

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...

for personal reasons I will be purchasing a red sweater

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

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

Some of the best songwriting ever ever. Ever. Such energy in the lyrics.

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"

The fact that this didnt win an award for best music video is disgusting

Dejaré este comentario solo para recordarme en el futuro cuánto amo este videoclip y que los comentarios de este videoclip son mi motivación para vivir. Me gusta gusta venir de vez en vez y alegrarme.

This song changed my life forever. This song made me love myself and others around me. I can just express my emotions while I listen to this masterpiece. When I have a bad day I just listen to this song. I love you, thank you.

Unpopular opinion: I really like this minimalist take on a music video

That hand flick when he says "when the walls are wet". Slick asf

Watched it 3 times today, fav video on the internet 😭

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.

this is the peak attractiveness on a male human, you may not agree with it, but it's the truth.

I love this comment section. Everyone's just bullying the shit out of Alex.

This is just me in front of my mirror when no one's home

thb his hair is kinda goals

3:05 Alex thinking "I nailed it"

DOES HE EVER BLINK

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.

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”

Producer: We need a music video but can only afford this red sweater. Alex: say no more

You know Alex, your suits and leather Jacket can't delete this fucking piece of perfection.

We can all thank "crying lightning" for the budget of this masterpiece

Up to today, still my favourite Arctic Monkeys song by far

1:32 *walls were wet* Touches the wall

WHY DOES HE LOOK SO SERIOUS I'M CRYING

the way he ducks down at 1:18 but u can see his back creeping towards the camera

0% drogas 0% sexo 0% alcohol 100% i don't know what said because i don't speak inglish

Video producer: 'sorry lads, you've spent all your money on the crying lightning video' High Alex: 'don't worry leave it to me, pass us that tape recorder'

How did he do this with a straight face

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 :

Dont let this song die.I'll listen to this song, forever

2:23 to 2:38 is when alex is staring straight into your soul judging your existence so bad that you might want to do the assignment in 10 minutes that you've been postponing for months👍🏻

The acting. The dancing. The gestures and movements. All 10/10.

I just saw this live yesterday, fucking incredible, easily their best song

Honestly this music video and song just make me wanna cry so badly and I don't know why since the lyrics and the music video are very funny and charming

The heartbreaking part: "And 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've imagined you all along."

The way he says "she held me very tightly" and put his hand on his arm akwardly at 0:47 is actually hilarious

Yes I'm judging my friends based on what come out of their mouth once I show this MV to them

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

let's talk about how this is the best video ever

THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL COMMENTING TO THIS DAY LMFAOO edit: THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE LIKES HELLO i’m so glad you all actually come back to this video because it never gets old

i always wonder if matt, nick, and jamie were behind the camera giggling at alex here 😂

Man, this is the vibe I want my life to be.

We're all talking about the video but don't forget that the lyrics are actually so sad

When your parents aren't home and you find the old camera of the family

the most iconic mv
