Fireside by Arctic Monkeys (Album AM)

“And I thought I was yours forever. Or maybe I was mistaken. But I just cannot manage to make it through the day. Without thinking of you lately”

November brings the slow transition from fall to winter as we anticipate snow days. I find myself replaying Fireside by Arctic Monkeys. It has a fervent kind of rhythm to it, compelling you to sway your head to the rhythm. Listening to the guitar riff at the end of the song creates an energy of reassurance burrowing into a blanket as the windows battle the cold wind outside. The sounds of heavy bass, and guitars, and drums nestle into the c

old corners of the world providing us comfort.

The Arctic Monkeys’ songs feel like they belong in the wintertime because of the romantic lyrics and intense beats done in such a way that it doesn’t feel overwhelming, but warm and alluring enough, inviting you to watch the snow when it falls.
