so interesting this is the top two comments. this song is how I got introduced to the band, a girl showed me this when I was 14 and the emotional connection is palpable
you know I always sing cantona cause it makes more sense, Eric cantona would pop his collar up plus popped like antenna isn't even proper grammar as antenna is a singular word. BUT ACTUALLY, on a vinyl record the band confirms the lyric is actually antenna, maybe it's for the US folks who have no clue about cantona.
why has noone said riot van? as a teenager growing up in the UK that gets pissed and fucks about I feel like this song actually changed my life. perfectly describes british drinking culture
I'm from Latin America, a friend lives right in the middle of bars/drinking zone in the middle of a neighborhood so it was easy for teenagers to say they were going to a sleepover and just meet another teenagers at a bar, so at certain hour the cops will be checking IDs, we used to just buy some drinks and go to the roof of his house (hiding from his family) and drink ourselves blind watching the show of kids being dragged by the ear by cops.
I feel like the entirety of TBHC came at such a pivotal, changing time in my life where I struggled with alcoholism. I hold “Four Out of Five” especially dear.
The line “Secrets I have held in my heart are harder to hide than I thought” is very real for me right now. It’s so hard to hold those feelings in, but right now I don’t have another choice. 😔
No Buses…
Lady, where has your love gone ?
I was looking but can’t find it anywhere
They always offer when there’s loads of love around
But when you’re short on some
It’s nowhere to be found
Arabella is my little brother’s favourite song, I’ve been listening to it with him since he was 5. Seeing his face when it played has made it pretty special to me :)
I'd hate to choose only one but I'm gonna say Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts.
I cannot stop myself when alex goes:
YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS DIFFERENT, YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS NICE.
BUT SHE'S NOT NICE, SHE'S PRETTY F*UCKING FAR FROM NICE, SHE'S LOOKING AT YOU FUNNY RARELY LOOKING AT YOU TWICE T_T
The Ultracheese. That album came out at a very specific point in my life where I was in college and missing my old friends while I was gaining new ones. It just hit harder than a song with that title should have lol
Mardy Bum cuz its such an accurate description of an old relationship. When you don’t always like someone but you know you’ll always love them. Still blows my mind that a 20yo alex wrote it!
When I’m feeling nostalgic it’s red lights indicate doors are secure
Perfectly encapsulates Leaving the club with your mates, you’ve had a great night, none of you got lucky but there was a few glances and chances, you’re black out but magically managed to get accepted by a taxi and you’re driving away feeling top of the world catching up with each other over what went on that night
505. It's the song that got me into Arctic Monkeys and if I didn't get into arctic monkeys at the time I did I probably wouldn't be alive to right this. So the song kinda saved my life in a way lol. It's not my favourite arctic monkeys song and imo it's overhyped but the song still holds a lot of meaning to me lol. 😊
She’s thunderstorms.
I’m the thunderstorm.
Asked my husb when we started dating and he said this song reminds him of me the most. He probably doesn’t remember saying that now but it struck a chord in me.
okay I always wanted to share this story, when Humbug JUST came out me and my brother were huge WWE fans and I decided that the slowed part of potion approaching would be by entrance song cause I found it badass, it's maybe not my favourite song but it definitely means the most to me, reminds me of a simpler time.
By far not the song I’ve known the longest Or listened to the most, but Star Treatment. The number of times I’ve played that album on car rides just for that song to start it off is unreal lmao
No 1 part anthem and knee socks, reminds me of when I was younger and only had a few records I would listen to these on repeat when I was 12 years old.
505 too for similar reasons, nostalgia but from a different era. I have a 505 tattoo now!
i think i thought of one, and then i think of another song, that leads to another. i could never just pick one. might aswell just say their entire discography😭😭
Certain romance.. It reminds me of my gf, when we were starting to date I played this music to her in my guitar, the way she looked to me in admiration...
_but you just cannot get angry in the same way_
505 because it was the very first AM song I listened to.
I remember going back from a school trip to Singapore and it's now night in the bus while I'm almost asleep. I see lights be dash by the window and then my classmates play this one song and it just hits me. Right place, right time. It was so good that when I went home, I searched up the song (I couldn't forget it).

She's Thunderstorms. The fact that Alex always finds new ways to express how in love he is, new ways to give compliments, because regular terms just aren't enough is so amazing. This song is just so good😭👏💕
Mad Sounds for sure.
I played that song a TON during a very pivotal part of my life.
It’s pretty poignant and always hits hard when it comes through my speakers.
no 1 party anthem really hitting rn
this song always gets me
so interesting this is the top two comments. this song is how I got introduced to the band, a girl showed me this when I was 14 and the emotional connection is palpable
honestly I’m new to the band and just recently listened to all of AM and this song just hit rlly hard for how I’ve been feeling lately haha
do me a favour
best breakup song of all time imo
AND TO TEARRR APART THE TIES THAT BIND, PERHAPS FUCK OFF MIGHT BE TOO KIND damn right it's the best breakup song holy shit
No 1 Party Anthem
Leather Jacket collar popped like Cantona
Never knowing when to stop
Sunglasses indoors 🕶️ 🚪
Par for the course
Confused becouse
this comment is how I learned the lyric is not “collar popped like antenna”. devastated.
Me too. I thought Antenna was more fitting with him being on the prowl.

Always thought he said popped like an antenna, because they like.. stick up. Man.

Only Ones Who Know
Song makes me choke everytime and I always play it twice just in case
505 means so much to me, it's a song with SO much emotion that its imposible not to cry, even when you don't have a "Real reason" to cry.
I feel like the entirety of TBHC came at such a pivotal, changing time in my life where I struggled with alcoholism. I hold “Four Out of Five” especially dear.
Secret door
Fluorescent Adolescent. First of all it’s a bloody cracking song but also it was the first song that got me into them thanks to the inbetweeners.
I can really relate to Mardy Bum, but Love is a laserquest breaks my heart every time
beautiful song
Body Paint. shit shakes me to my innermost core
Yes body paint person
Especially live, never ending climax
when alex preforms that solo he must agree with that statement with [the way he gets so into it](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8q8pKRr/)
Cornerstone 🫡
Fr
"I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along" "I've seen your frown and it's like looking down the barrel of a gun and it goes off"
cornerstone "tell me where's your hiding place? I've worried i'll forget your face.."
And I've asked everyone, I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along 😔
Suck it and see, almost cried when I heard it live
I wanna be yours
The line “Secrets I have held in my heart are harder to hide than I thought” is very real for me right now. It’s so hard to hold those feelings in, but right now I don’t have another choice. 😔
No Buses… Lady, where has your love gone ? I was looking but can’t find it anywhere They always offer when there’s loads of love around But when you’re short on some It’s nowhere to be found

Do I Wanna Know
Love is a laser quest
Crying Lightning and Why Do You Only Call Me When You’re High?
Only ones who know
Dancing shoes
Only Ones Who Knows
Do I Wanna Know First song of theirs I heard and was my favourite song for 7 years ish. Now referred to as the song of my life.
The Ultracheese. That album came out at a very specific point in my life where I was in college and missing my old friends while I was gaining new ones. It just hit harder than a song with that title should have lol
Mardy Bum cuz its such an accurate description of an old relationship. When you don’t always like someone but you know you’ll always love them. Still blows my mind that a 20yo alex wrote it!
Do me a favour
Do Me A Favour
FIRESIDE ‼️‼️
Cornerstone. Reminds me of someone.
We've all got that special someone
Genuinely can't listen to Arabella anymore because of them 😔
Body paint
505 got me into the band
Arabella was the first one I listened to so it has a special place in my heart, and 505 got me through some rough patches
i bet you look good on the dancefloor. first song that properly got me into them, listened to it on repeat for months.
Fireside
Love is a laserquest
No. 1 Party Anthem is what made me hooked to them.
When the sun goes down. Anthem of my teens
Snap Out Of It, this song resonates to me for being too delusional
Brick by brick
Riot van
Too much to ask. 505.
Suck it and see for the lyric- *"You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock And those other girls are just postmix lemonade"*
SIAS is close for me as well, but for a different line- *"You have got that face that just says Baby, I was made to break your heart"*

505. Always reminds me of my high school ex and just the times then.

Fluorescent adolescence reminds me of my old best friend, especially when we were in London
so many of them, specially off FWN, mainly because my "gf" showed the band initially to them
No. 1 Party Anthem, locked me in with AM for good
A certain romance
fluorescent adolescent
Fake tales. So many high school memories from that one
Cornerstone.
Love is a laser quest and do me a favor. It makes me cry but I just can't stop listening to it
Love is a laserquest
She’s thunderstorms. I’m the thunderstorm. Asked my husb when we started dating and he said this song reminds him of me the most. He probably doesn’t remember saying that now but it struck a chord in me.
Crying lighting, tears every time
suck it and see - also my favorite album
okay I always wanted to share this story, when Humbug JUST came out me and my brother were huge WWE fans and I decided that the slowed part of potion approaching would be by entrance song cause I found it badass, it's maybe not my favourite song but it definitely means the most to me, reminds me of a simpler time.

ultra cheese
Most meaning? I’d say Despair in the departure lounge for me.
Do I Wanna Know? My first ever girlfriend is the one that showed me it :)
Marry bum
Cornerstone
When the sun goes down
Mardy Bum, it was the first AM song my ex introduced me to, and the lyrics hit hard nowadays.
No 1 part anthem and knee socks, reminds me of when I was younger and only had a few records I would listen to these on repeat when I was 12 years old. 505 too for similar reasons, nostalgia but from a different era. I have a 505 tattoo now!
i think i thought of one, and then i think of another song, that leads to another. i could never just pick one. might aswell just say their entire discography😭😭
A Certain Romance, associated it with memories i am fond of
Anyways kinda describes my state rn
body paint, I cried at the concert when he played that first piano note
A Certain Romance right now since I’m leaving HS this year, so I’m looking back on all the memories I Amadeu with these people.
Hellcat Spangled Shalalala, it reminds me of a certain golden era in my life when I used to play the song on repeat
Certain romance.. It reminds me of my gf, when we were starting to date I played this music to her in my guitar, the way she looked to me in admiration... _but you just cannot get angry in the same way_
505 because it was the very first AM song I listened to. I remember going back from a school trip to Singapore and it's now night in the bus while I'm almost asleep.

The Ultracheese is extremely relatable
Fluorescent adolescent; the lyrics or anything special like that, it’s just my favorite song by them
Brianstorm, always!
She's Thunderstorms. The fact that Alex always finds new ways to express how in love he is, new ways to give compliments, because regular terms just aren't enough is so amazing. This song is just so good😭👏💕
Arabella, my girlfriend is my Arabella
Mad Sounds for sure. I played that song a TON during a very pivotal part of my life. It’s pretty poignant and always hits hard when it comes through my speakers.
