Trivia

Interesting facts about 12:51. By Songfacts.

This song is about the moments just before sex, and how you lose some innocence in that brief time. The title reflects a typical time on a clock during a sexual encounter because many people check the time just as lovemaking begins.


Nick Valensi managed to painstakingly create the sound of a synthesized keyboard with his guitar for this song. However when a friend heard it, he responded with crushing logic, "Why didn't he just play a keyboard?"


Valensi reportedly blew out multiple amplifiers while trying to achieve the keyboard-like guitar tone on this song.
