Original manuscript of the track The Jeweller's Hands (2008/2009)

"so many great songs have been written here and this is a really great one @ arcticmonkeys the jeweler's hands.i still have a lot of handwritten original lyrics from any band that is cool enough to leave them here for me. i love hearing the @ bechstein.official piano on this track, and all others it appears on. it's my favorite piano sound in the world. fred and i bought it at @ shop_angelview thrift store after @ vicwillums found it and suggested we buy it to record it on her album she was readying to record here, musings of a creek dipper. our friend, the extremely talented and awesome @ trinashoemaker produced and engineered it.. i couldn't be happier that many find this little house in the desert inspiring. i know i have since the first day i walked through the door. love to all"

‘What have you learned from watching your performance?’

First of all Nick will always be the funniest of the Monkeys for me, he’s just so effortlessly funny. He fully predicted the way Alex performs now with the facial expressions, the foot on the monitor and the back bends.

Secondly, the thought of Alex watching the Apollo performance they are talking about and cringing at his own stage banter between songs makes me feel a bit sad. Because he’s so sweet and funny during that show! And people during ‘The Car’ tour complained a lot about his lack of crowd interaction and I feel like that’s probably because in the back of his mind he’s constantly thinking about whether he’s talking too much.

And when she needs to shelter from reality she takes a dip in my daydreams.

First Wilhelm thought he saw him in the Slagskepp, after midnight in the corner of the dance floor, moving his hips under a strobing multicolored light. A slight figure, a head of dark curls, an open button-up shirt. But a turn of the man's face, now bathed in red light and shadow, made it clear that he was only a look-alike.

But he was close. Close enough to be his ghost.

It had been six months since Wilhelm had looked into Simon's eyes, felt his soft skin under his fingertips, heard his own name on his lips. Then it was all over, suddenly, with no contact and no word about where he is, what he's doing, has he moved on, does he think of him too, does he also feel like he's dying.

Wilhelm ordered another shot. Waiting at the busy bar, he kept his eye on the man. He realized the look-alike's hair was a little bit too long. But it had been awhile and hair grows.

The bartender set the vodka shot down in front of Wilhelm and he quickly knocked it back. The man's pants. No, Simon would never wear pants like that.

Well. Close enough.

Wilhelm combed his fingers through his hair and made his way onto the dance floor.
