Arctic Monkeys – Knee Socks Meaning

It's obviously about Alexa. Alex has confirmed that the lyrics on AM centre around heartbreak. Arielle was his current girlfriend. Actually the only songs that are clearly inspired by her are R U Mine? and Arabella.

- Alexa used to wear knee socks back when they dated

- Alex broke up with Johanna in January, he met Alexa in April = You cured my January blues

- From middle 2012 to the end of 2013 Alexa co-hosted Fuse News = I got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse (Alex uses the word "fuse" in Fireside too, another song about Alexa)

- His valentine's poem for Alexa reveals they didn't get together right away after they met "The idea that you may kiss it [his mouth] again is stuck in my brain, which hasn’t stopped thinking about you since well BEFORE any kiss." = You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew

- Alexa moved to America with Alex because of her show It's On with Alexa Chung, which was cancelled in December 2009 (a winter month) = When the winter is in full swing and your dreams just aren’t coming true

- They are not together anymore = You and me could have been a team

Ideas

• Beginning - Have the Actors/Band out on the streets or in the car having a laugh with each other, when the lead sees a girl he likes (slow Motion Turn of the head to show he can’t take his eyes of her while friends are joking in the background(blurred out))

• The video can be about those two getting together and being together for the time being and the break up at the end of the video (Meaning of the song)

• Somehow incorporate knee socks into the video (without it being too awkward)

Actors
