Arctic Monkeys frontman is tired of romantic songs

Oct 10, 2011
Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner claimed that he feels tired of writing romantic songs. At the same time, according to his words, he cannot help himself from composing them. Talking about the work on Arctic Monkeys' last album Suck It And See, he said that songs like Piledriver Waltz were written very easy.

"I am a romantic fool, no doubt about that. I can't help myself but write those songs. I spend a bit of time sitting on the couch with an acoustic guitar – taking breaks, having a cigarette, going to the window then going back. When you do that, you end up doing a lot more of that romantic stuff, probably too much", claimed he.

Recently Alex Turner claimed that the band will take a break from recording new tracks for two years. Singer added that he even won't try to write songs. According to Turner, from now on Arctic Monkeys are going to concentrate on touring.

"I don't really write on the road any more. We come up with a few ideas on soundchecks and that but I have written too many terrible lyrics touring around", said he.
