Jet Skis on the Moat

I am listening to TBHC and The Car pretty much on repeat this week and after reading a few analyses of Jet Skis on here (will try to link them later, don't have them handy right now), I thought I'd add my own thoughts. I'd mostly been thinking why jet skis, why a moat, so these thoughts are heavily about that.

The TL;DR is: What if Jet Skis on the Moat describes a side relationship (with a "buddy") running parallel to any officially presented self. The theme of nighttime for the lover and daytime without them once again makes an appearance as well. Overall the song is reminiscing about the singer's life and the relationship with the lover boy is a part of that.

there’d better be a mirrorball for me

There was a post I saved a while ago going over how Alex takes on some of Miles's mannerisms (and his 'Scouse accent) even as late as 2023, but unfortunately now I can't find it. That post made me think though, and going through my saved images, I've found some where their expressions really remind me of the other. The above one of Miles from 2025 makes me think of Al and his expressions with fans.
