Here’s Fake Tales of San Francisco (Arctic Monkeys)

This song shows Turner’s tendency for ‘reflexive impotence’, which is essentially the state of being aware of the world’s ails at the same time as recognizing one’s helplessness to change anything, thus creating a dangerously self-fulfilling prophecy within British youth. However, the huge success of the Arctics’ debut suggested that although this may be the case, it was a chord that struck heavily on a national and global front, and while it didn’t solve anything, the album is indicative of a psychological era in recent British history that still resonates. In ‘Fake Tales...’, that reflexive impotence appears in a very subtle form, when Turner begins: “And yeah, I’d love to tell you all my problem...”. Insinuating that although he recognizes what’s wrong with the situation in front of him, he just isn’t the type to get up and voice it. What follows that line is my final thought on ‘Fake Tales...’, and a remark that is made increasingly interesting with eight years of hindsight. How would 2006 Alex Turner and 2021 Alex Turner discuss that damning sentiment of retaining your roots: “You’re not from New York City, you’re from Rotherham”?
