Video: Arctic Monkeys - 'Cornerstone' (Official Video)

1. Phoenix, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Glassnote) What I love most about Phoenix is its unabashed celebration of pop music. There's no hidden agenda here. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is a pure pop record. Catchy hooks, big multi-tracked choruses, retro synths, and an almost primal sense of rhythm make this record an undeniably infectious listen. Perhaps, over-played by year's end, it still takes the cake. 2. Dirty Projectors, Bitte Orca (Domino) I want to hate what the Dirty Projectors do. It's flauntingly experimental music played with an air [...]

Not one for the world of Heat magazine, I find it a little cheapening that Alex Turner goes out with the pout on a stick that is Alexa Chung. I thought you were down to earth man, all this T4 presenter courting simply turns you into "Alexa's indie rocker boyfriend". I have friends who find Alexa Chung attractive, actually a hell of a lot of men find her so, I say Alex dumps her and gets himself some anonymous beauty with boobs (you can't be doing with that teenage boy chest) and lose the pointless distraction. I think [...]

Arctic Monkeys ' third album, the Josh Homme -produced Humbug , is a solid-but-unspectacular collection of desert rock that scales back the group's usual garage-y post-punk snottiness in favour of cryptic lyrics and atmospheric production. The collection's clear standout is "Cornerstone," a mid-tempo ballad about being haunted by a breakup. The lyrics are classic Alex Turner, with vivid detail and scathing wit; the tune itself, however, sounds closer to the Kinks , with breezy acoustic strumming and jangling electric leads. The song recently got the video treatment it deserves. It's [...]

I watched the premiere while I was in the UK. Quite shocked to be honest, never expected it to be so simple and funny. Love this video, totally adore Alex!!

This video features one static shot of Alex Turner against a white background singing into a tape recorder, and nothing else. There's an odd humor to the whole production, as he mimes the lyrics with lazy, cheeky irony, but for most part he's staring into the camera, and the minimalism demands attention paid to the song and the singer.

Chi ama dissezionare queste cose racconta che una volta i video proponevano il corpo della star come bellissimo e irraggiungibile. Poi è stata la volta dei video dietro le quinte. Ve li ricordate anche voi: Natalie Imbruglia di Torn come tanti altri che recitavano guardando dritto in camera, dietro di loro falegnami, scenografi e truccatori facevano come se nulla fosse, come se anche noi dall'altra parte dello schermo avessimo fatto parte della troupe. Negli anni zero però la crisi ha dato il calcio nel sedere definitivo al genere, portandolo se possibile un passo oltre: i nuovi musicisti siamo noi. Non [...]

Secondo singolo per gli Arctic Monkeys , tratto dallo splendido Humbug . Dopo "Crying Lightning", brano apripista dell'album, un nuovo video diretto da Richard Ayoade. Completamente incentrato sulla figura del cantante Alex Turner, "Cornerstone" è un lavoro dai toni minimali: nient'altro che il leader delle Scimmie Artiche con un vecchio registratore a tracolla, un microfono da reporter e delle cuffie enormi che ciondola cantando quella che è forse la ballad migliore del disco. L'ironia delle immagini crea un intenso contrasto col pathos del pezzo, ovviamente disponibile in più formati. [...]

You've all probably seen this already but at the risk of redundancy, here it is again: the latest Arctic Monkeys video directed by frequent collaborator Richard Ayoade (of The IT Crowd/Mighty Boosh fame). The Cornerstone vid is all A. Turn™ all the time in which he lip-synchs the song and accompanies it with a sort of interpretive dance. Some people think it's unabashedly self-indulgent and others think it's a stroke of subtle genius. The YouTube comments prove that the video has elicited a rather polarising response. I think it's hilarious and charming [...]

No todo en el tercer disco de los monos del ártico son odas a los dioses del rock & roll monolítico: esas melenas al viento en las fotos de promo, el vídeo épico y rockerillo a la Mtv de los noventa para su primer single "Crying Lightning", la señera producción de Josh Homme de Queens Of...

"Cornerstone" is from Arctic Monkeys' album Humbug . http://www.arcticmonkeys.com/ http://www.myspace.com/arcticm onkeys

Arctic Monkeys presenta Cornerstone , su segundo single del disco Humbug. Con un despliegue en el que Alex Turner simplemente se decide a cantar ante una cámara que solo observa su solitaria interpretación.

Cornerstone est de loin le meilleur titre de 'Humbug' , le dernier Arctic Monkeys, et également un des meilleurs morceaux de l'année tout court. C'est peut-être pour ça que Domino le sort en single; et pour nous laisser l'apprécier à sa juste valeur sort une vidéo pour plutôt dépouillée pour l'accompagner, histoire qu'on ne se laisse pas distraire par les images...

The new Arctic Monkeys video for "Cornerstone" is pretty much one shot of Alex Turner standing in a white room. Add in his headphones, tape recorder and microphone as props-as if the lyrics are being fed onto a tape for...

Mais um single retirado do álbum 'Humbug' dos Arctic Monkeys. Trata-se de "Cornerstone" que aqui se apresenta com o seu novíssimo e simples clip que mais parece ter sido feito enquanto os Monkeys esperavam por qualquer coisa, tipo "pah, 'tamos aqui sem fazer nada, 'bora improvisar qualquer coisa". O que é verdade é que tudo correu bem. :)O single sai oficialmente a 16 Nov '09.Video Credits:
