#TheStrokes #OdeToTheMets #Rock #TheNewAbnormal
"Drums please, Fab?" And the whole world changes forever.
what's a life without a beat or rhythm?
I love that that phrase
Pretty wonderfull!
"Drums please fab" - and the whole world turns to orange tang. Evangelion reference
it probably doesn't make any sense, but I understood this part as a reference to the industrial revolution with the first cars. Creating this world change
I can't imagine a better way to finish "The New Abnormal", definitely one of the best songs on the album. The Strokes saved 2020
Honestly, one of the best songs in their discography
I like how he begins with life being a game, suffocates us in the history of OUR world, transitions to the drowning of human life, and ends with our accomplishment of space only to restart the 'game' of life for the next species to pick up (whomever or whatever may be.) Beautiful video. Sidenote; that outro is the saddest visual/audio clip I have ever witnessed. So happy in the moment of incredible loneliness. Much like the world around us in our darkest hour. The 11th.
agree
Absolutely. Couldn't agree more.
The new album made me dive head first into their entire catalog (which is fucking amazing btw) who the fuck said fioe isn’t fantastic?
I feel like Julian really put his heart out in this album. The whole band did. The ending of this song is so beautiful, he sings it with some sort of a heartbroken, but hopeful feeling.
This is definitely the best strokes album since Room on Fire, imo. It's just so consistently good.
you should check out the live version of Ode to Mets, the way he sings at the end is incredible.
The boys are back!!
"heartbroken, but hopeful" pretty much sums up that classic strokes sound for me personally lol
I love this album so much!!😭😭
I remembering 19yrs old when I first discovered The Strokes...now I'm almost 41 and it doesn't seem possible
Same.
Found at 16 now 39.
Songs like Someday hit different now. Love these guys.
Im 19ys and I just discover this song 😅
@sarah-oc5ok same and so glad I found them
@@sarah-oc5oksame started off with hearing the adults are talking from my brother now they are my favorite as of now
I was 23 now I'm 14 I'm I the only one? Wth
I don’t wanna live in a world where The Strokes don’t exist
Me too .
Yes.
You already do. Wake up please.
Bual mung ni..haha
Count me in brother
Julian: *"Drums please, fab"* 2020 : 📈
Julian’s voice: stonks!!
Stonks
Hahahahahahahahaha
he got it all, he got it all...
Stronks
Julian pouring his heart out on those last lines of the song is heart wrenchingly beautiful
Gone now are the old times forgotten time to hold on the railing the rubix cube isn't solving for us, old friends long forgotten the old ways at the bottom of the ocean now has swallowed the only thing that's left is us so pardon the silence that you're hearing it's turning into a deafening painful, shameful roar 😭😭
He had to. Those were his last words on this Magnificent Album.
@@mynameisbabyblue548
After I hear the audio version, I kinda feel I need to watch their live performance of this song, just to see Julian face and make sure he's okay
We love you, Jules
@@mystery8363
I do hope this is not their last album

Glorious!
Now I know for a fact this music video is blessed
This song is blessed by the man himself
i always knew you had great taste in music jesus, this is a blessed song indeed
Jesus Christ! It's Jesus Christ.
Jesus approved
Yeah, “the adults are talking is cool”, but have ever heard this song in a thunderstorm while crying?
that shit hits pretty hard, I'm feeling it right now
Best track of the album
In my opinion
........ tf no
I don't know why they didn't release the adults are talking is cool. It's the best song imo, along with why sundays are so depressing
God you guys just HAVE to gatekeep some way or the other don't you?
I can’t believe 20 years later The Strokes are putting out this kind of quality. The album is amazing and the visuals have been stunning. As a lifelong fan it’s like a dream come true.
Me too man, they’re my favorite band, and ytheyve kinda been a part of my whole life. Sadly though, I only got into them properly ~3 years ago, long after Comedown Machine and a short while after Future Present Past. I really hoped, in spite of what people said, that there would be another album. This is literally a dream come true. :’)
Sure. You can dislike, ok. But the artistic quality is always there, its undeniable.
I totally agree with you
I was thinking the same thing the other day. 20 years went by in a hurry.
The adults are talking.
They’re proper adults now.
The strokes are my everything.
My best friend died in a tragic motorcycle accident three days ago and this was the last song he asked me to listen to. Now I'm here drowning in tears in every line and thinking that maybe it was his way of saying goodbye, repeating a thousand times, I needed you there, I needed you there but I didn't know, I didn't know😢
that's tragic. i wish you the best, man.
let yourself grieve, surround yourself with positive people, and keep up with your health (drink water, that's super easy to forget under stress).
i can't do much as a stranger on the internet, but i hope i can provide you with a bit of positive energy. take care of yourself, much love 🙌
Your make feel better dear stranger of the internet
@@AndresMartinez-n5e so glad to hear that!!! hope things are going alright
My condolences to you, I hope you find some healing in this song eventually
RIP to your friend.
im glad other people find comfort in “drums please, fab” too
I KEEP REPLAYING THAT PART OVER AND OVER BEFORE ITS JUST SINGING AND THEN “Drums, please, Fab” AND THEN THE BEAT KICKS IN ITS JUST WAOW😩😩😩
1:38 i love how it sounds like he forgot the lyrics and asks for drums, to continue with "I got it all". The strokes are just awesome
We all share that feeling
Drums please Fab is fab x
Drums please
when I saw the picture frame of the young strokes at 4:44 and he sings old friends long forgotten, that hit me pretty hard
I cried
This is sad
@@moonglowso9854 same 🥺
@@moonglowso9854 SAME, IM CRYING RIGHT NOW AND I CAN'T STOP
I saw that and thought it was them. But then it moved pretty quick and then I wasn't quite sure. Thanks for mentioning that. It gave me the feels too.🙂
And, on the seventh day, God said : "drums, please, Fab".
Iml

Za warudoooooooo
Oí josuke
Josukeeeee
i cannot describe the feeling this song gives me. Julian seems to painfully feel every word until he reaches the emotional climax on the last verse, and then the song ends with a vague sense of hope. this man is truly a living legend, an icon of our times.
His lyrics are underrated.
And the voice…..
All of the sudden so deep and powerful 💔
I'm not an emotional guy, but after hearing this after a bad week I wept from the feeling it gave me. Never got that from a strokes song so I instantly knew it was special.
Hope? I can only feel melancholy listening to this
Chill man
"Drums please Fab" will forever be iconic I tell you
I wonder what you say to this music th-cam.com/video/riMmi1Lmhi8/w-d-xo.html
The Strokes is the only thing that's keeping me sane in 2020
Same
I doubt that
their album was the one good thing of this year (also tame impala’s album lol)
Word
why does this feel like the most depressing disney ride ever
😂
You're forgetting "Restart". It's the point of the whole thing...
That’s what being a Mets fan feels like
Muse has one too, invincible 😂
@@trogdor20X6 We had a good run this year. This hits a tad different for now 😅
Last Christmas Julian walked into my store and I geeked internally knowing who he was. I helped him get his stuff and he didn’t know I knew it was him. Before he left I let him know “Ode to the Mets got me through my break up so thank you.” He smiled we both laughed he thanked me and he went on his way.
2001: Someday they'll miss the good old days, someday... someday.
2020: Gone now are the old times, forgotten(...) Old friends long forgotten, the old ways at the bottom of the ocean.
ikr. nice ending. but pls dont end
Deep
They all wait at the bottom of the ocean*
@@jayray3622 no, it's "old ways at the bottom of the ocean" look it up
Psychologist: How would you define your sentimental situation?
Me: Drums, please, Fab...
Strongly agree
XD
Best comment in youtube history
you got it all
could have not said it better!
The Strokes were oringinally going to change the name of the song but fab told them not to, saying both the Mets and the song evoke “something that you set your heart to and that you love unconditionally but that continues to disappoint you” and that convinced them to keep it.
>> the impures - time
As a Mets fan this really means something to me lol
feels pls fab
LFGM!.
That's awesome but how do you know that?
LYRICS:
Up on his horse, up on his horse
Not gonna wake up here anymore
Listen one time, it's not the truth
It's just a story, I tell to you
Easy to say, easy to do
But it's not easy, well, maybe for you
Hope that you find it, hope that it's good
Hope that you read it, think that you should
Cuts you some slack as he sits back
Sizes you up, plans his attack
Ah-da-da
Drums please, Fab
And I got it all, I got it all
Waiting for me down on the street
But now you gotta do somethin' special for me
I'm gonna say what's on my mind
Then I'll walk out, then I'll feel fine
Yeah, I'm under his thumb, I'm on his back
I will not show my teeth too quick
I needed you there, I needed you there
But I didn't know, I didn't know
Go alone
I'll go alone
We'll go alone
I'll go alone
Back from his trip, he's at the door
When he gets back, he's on the phone
Innocent eye, innocent heart
No, it's not wrong, but it's not right
Innocent time out on his own
Not got gonna do that, I'm out of control
I was just bored playin' the guitar
Learned all your tricks, wasn't too hard
It's the last one now, I can promise you that
I'm gonna find out the truth when I get back
Gone now are the old times
Forgotten, time to hold on the railing
The Rubix cube isn't solving for us
Old friends, long forgotten
The old ways at the bottom
Of the ocean now has swallowed
The only thing that's left
Is us, so pardon the silence
That you're hearing is turning
Into a deafening, painful, shameful roar
Thanks 🙌🏼
I can't stop for crying
Julian, we all know the world is ending... But man, why did you have to make it seem like it would be this beautiful?
well said
Exactly
Because when u die, there is no pain, stress, and others things so you are in peace.
Well thats my point of view.
The end of the world is your life and how it ends. Different times are coming. I've tested myself, living off the grid and outside in the woods. The end of the world as you know it, see it as a liberation from your invisible prison, wich you call your life. Work is slavery for being stacked up in a fancy looking tower.
A new life is about to begin . Better than Yesterday . Trust Me ... Patience .
this is how you close an album PERFECTLY
Hard to beat call it fate,call it karma but this slaps too
That’s how you close a discography perfectly. Not that I want them to but if that was it would fit
@@tiarnan97 I think this is better than Call it Fate
Yas
think theyre gonna make a new album
I personally think that this song, Selfless, and “Why are Sunday’s so depressing?”, are some of the best alternative rock songs I’ve ever heard in my life. That being said, Adults are talking and Brooklyn Bridge are also next level songs too! Incredible album as a whole, one of the best I’ve heard for the alternative rock genre in many years.
Spot on assessment. 👍🏼
exactly what i thought mate, that whole album blew me away
I didn't like "Not the same anymore" when I first heard it, but now it's one of the only songs I play on its own. That and Sundays. I still love listening to the whole album but these songs stand out for me as singles.
Ode to the Mets is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Hands down my new favorite Strokes song, I don’t think anything comes close ❤️
"Indie Rock" broseph
I think it’s fair enough to say that this is the best song from this band and probably one of the best rock songs of the last decade.
Ode To The Mets is without a doubt, his magnum opus.
I'd say selfless gives ode to the mets a run for its money
Its going for "epic song" though so it will always wins in best song battles. Songs like Is This It or the Modern Age are not trying to be magnum opus's but are great in ways that this songs can never measure against. Effortlessly cool. Casual. Ode To The Mets is constructed, crafted, produced... you can feel that it has a lot of thought behind it.
Its like a Led Zeppelin song battle between Going To California and Achilles Last Stand. Pointless. Still love it all though
Best music video too
Over Reptilia, NYC cops and Someday ? Maybe...

The Strokes became something more than just a band we like.
How many people are you?
@@NowhereMan7 ''we'' reffers to Strokes listeners that read comments section, whats wrong with you?
@@bartoszsurlas8754 Well I thought it was funny.
@@PjRorke98 you thought it was "funny"? whats wrong with you? no fun, only pain.
this is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever written and recorded. To think they wrote it some 10 or 15 years after their "heyday" and then proceeded to win awards for the album. It is just incredibly beautiful and creative and altogether moving.
I'll admit, it is a good song.....but honestly I like 'Soma' more....or 'You only live Once'. To each their own, but I've always preferred catchy songs to emotional ones. I do agree about 'The new abnormal' though.
Agreed. It has this timeless grandiosity that can only be captured once in a long, long time. It makes you feel sad yet optimistic and in awe of having experienced a perfectly flawed existence that you would not change. Great track.
Ironically, I feel like Julian captured this feeling previously on "Human Sadness" by the Voidz. An equally great track.
And to think he wrote this the Mets that lost in 2016 that broke his heart . Us baseball fans everyone knows that feeling and this song is that
The Strokes just won a Grammy baby!!!!
They deserve it
as they should
Yes 😢, i'm so happy
YASSS
HOLY SHIEET you are right!
wow...it's like christmas morning
HAHAHAHA
Hahaha fr, literally just woke up and this is my gift for the day.

nikki nasty is here..its a good day for the strokes
Everyone's talking about how good the song is but, can we take a moment to appreciate the video?
BEST STORY IN A PICTURE I'VE EVER SEEN..& Ive Seen Plenty..🤔🎶🎵🥁🎸😁🎶
Thanks for the 👍😁
now that youre here maybe people will notice it
Oh yeah for sure!
It's... it's a little bit strange for the title but still, at least it IS interesting. That is a fixture of lots of Strokes songs/videos.
It's pure, simple originality! 😏🎶
i agree im sure it was hard to make this graphic animation it deserve t be seen more than 3mil
When this album released, I legitimately thought it was the end for me. I had genuinely thought I wasn’t gonna live to 21. I wanted this to be my last song. Then my mom got back into the Strokes, and that’s when I started the association that this song wasn’t my end, but a beginning. It’s still a struggle but I’m getting better. Stay safe out there.
U good bro
U got this man. I know how it feels. Give it time. Do what u can do each day. Little steps, little wins, you got this shit. I’m proud of you
God that’s so beautiful man. Crazy just a shift in a mindset is all really is needed. Life is a journey, never a destination ❤️
Stay strong you're doing great already 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
In god, we trust. im happy youre alive
I remember reading in an interview (2010) that Julian Casablancas wanted to write a song for the NY Mets; he eventually got to do it, and as they stated in "5guys talking about things they know nothing about ep. 2" at some point he wanted to name this song just Ode, but Moretti convinced him to keep the word Mets. Julian said he wrote it while waiting for a train after the Mets lost a match, and Morietti pointed out that it alludes to "something that you set your heart to, and that you love unconditionally but that continues to disappoint you".
Thats pretty much describe the whole song
The pain of being a diehard Mets fan is channeled perfectly into this song.
He can write a whole discography on Arsenal then
@@bigmoist2112 that hit me AF
when you realize the stuff you used to imagine in your head when you were a kid and had that thought of "this could be a nice movie" but gave up thinking some adult probably have a better idea going on and when you realize you're the adult who gave up on your dreams then suddenly ode to the mets videoclip is the realistic version of literally all of your dreams and everything you had in mind that you didn't know how to put it out not even the feeling of it.
thanks whoever is involved for knowing me better than i know myself.
The saddest part about this song is that it's such a good closer that I'm sure that they'd want to end their discography with this masterpiece.
That's how I felt when I watched the documentary on the 86 Mets
Julian said they're still working on new music
I feel like Julian and the strokes will make amazing music until they can't anymore
that would indeed be sad, because this record shows they're improving as musicians, and they were already amazing.
That's a pretty good idea, but since they'll still make more music maybe they'll reference this track on their actual last closing song, like Ode to the Strokes or something lol
you have NO idea how long it took me to find this, i've had best stuck in my head for YEARS and i just know found it
It’s been a horrible year but this song makes me happy to be alive.
I feel you. I was trying to recover from a broken heart and after 9 months this song made me transcend all stupid things in life. Kinda travelled back in time and told my past self that everything was gonna be ok. No drugs needed, just music.
look up this indie song that someone recomnded me ( TIME BY THE IMPURES
is good af yoyo
:D :)))
What's wrong with 2021?
Agreeeeeee
@@whothennow24 So many things man... In my country hundreds have died due to typhoons, then millions lost homes, the pandemic caused unemployment, children are struggling with education, poverty, even more deaths due to the virus... 2021 was a rough year. 2022 still is. But I'm glad I'm still alive to listen to The Strokes' new music. Love them a lot. We'll survive.

@@aileenrubio56 same ahahahaha
The whole part starting with "Old friends, long forgotten" might for real be the most beautiful vocal performance Jules has ever given. It's in the running. Beautiful and sad and nostalgic all at the same time
Lyrically, I consider the climax of the song to be a 'call to arm' for our generation. A truly painful, beautiful and inspirational wake up call to let go of our nostalgic past and collectively navigate our way through this time together.
praying you fail in life bro
Since "The New Abnormal" came out in April, I've probably listened to it 20-30 times. I think this is their most "complete" album so far. I can hear how they have grown musically, thou they still retained their signature sound (like in "Bad Decisions"). I love how they left in Julian's comments made during the recording ("Drums, please, Fab..." "False...break..." etc.). Rick Rubin's influence is clearly felt on this album, but in a sense that he gave the guys courage to experiment, like with "At the Door" (the song has no drums for the first 3 minutes or so, but has some of Julian's best singing ever, with an ominous keyboard hum throughout). Also, making it their first video from the album takes some balls, when they could have gone with much safer "Eternal Summer", which is such a great tune. So great in fact, that even the fade out ending sounds so good, it could have been a hit song all on it's own. For me, it's a mix of waiting so long for their new stuff, and that what they recorded seems to be exactly the music I needed to hear at this stage of my life, that makes this album so good. Also, I'm the same age as them, so I guess that too is one of the reasons the music sounds as if it was custom tailored for me. In case you missed it from reading my comment, I REALLY LOVE THIS ALBUM from start to finish! Now all I have to do is to wait for this pandemic to pass, and then hear them live...(maybe in 2021).
Ur gay
It's like you've read my mind and said all of this before I could. The New Abnormal if my favorite album right now, even though I know the first two are better and feel much more nostalgic when I listen to them. I've listened to The New Abnormal so many times I'm sure that years from now when I play it again, I'll remember of 2020. It's basically the soundtrack for this year in my life.
I completely agree that it feels as if it was “tailor made”, I’m sure it’s the same for all the true fans but the timing of the album and the title makes me think that The Strokes truly have their fingers on the pulse of society or that Julian is simply a genius and the world needs to wake up and realise it. Phenomenal album
You cannot be describe that best
Ur 40? You write like a teenager. But I can agree with most of what you said.
Tonight I learned an old friend of mine just died. That last bit that goes "Old friends, long forgotten, they all wait at the bottom of the ocean. The only thing that's left is us" hits differently. I can't keep losing people, I don't know if I have it in me to keep going regardless. Take care of your friends, you never know when you're gonna lose them.
i’m sorry for your loss, grief is one of the hardest things to go through as humans. stay strong and keep going, there are still plenty lessons to be learned through all the good and bad! hope things get better for you soon ❣️
Thank you for sharing 💜 there is still joy and love to be found
I can relate. I just lost one of my closest friend and this comment of yours had me crying a lot. I hope that you're coping well even after all what happened.
This is the melody that's been playing in my soul my whole life!!!
This and why are sundays so depressing
You just encapsulated exactly why this song rings so true to me, thank you! This is the melody of my soul and although its a little sad its also so damn beautiful - gives me hope for what is to come
I know that feeling bro!

Masterpiece. Those 6 minutes went by so fast and so nicely. And the video is top class. Well done for this wonderful comeback guys.
Just came to see how they handle the "DRUMS PLEASE, FAB"
IT WAS AWESOME
X3
I thought it was “drums please fellas”
@@aileenrubio56 🤡
The saddest Strokes song. I didn't realize just how sad it was till I looked up the lyrics. Jesus...
I wonder what you say to this music th-cam.com/video/riMmi1Lmhi8/w-d-xo.html
People don’t realize how depressing it is to be a Mets fan, hug your local Mets fan
Ik right, and it's my favorite from the entire album 💀💀💀
hello fello radiohead fan ;)
I never get tired of saying it, this is one of the best songs ever
Bruh the song is 20h old
@@luciano_luna1941 No, its not, lol
Calm down dude, ur head's not right
It is
I didn't know sorry
I can't find the comment anymore, but once I read here that this song was about loving someone who keeps disappoints you, and I'm really feeling it right now
Escuchar a Julian decir drums please fab, siempre es lo que le da sentido a mi vida
Te cura del covid..
Bro, I really feel that
2:16 before i read the lyrics i kept hearing "i will not show my teeth to CRAIG"
like screw you craig, you'll never see these pearly whites
I heard that too! I really laughed out loud reading your comment coz i wasn't the only one who misheard "i won't show my teeth to craig" . I can just imagine craig listening to this and going "alright then".
LMAO
Poor craig
YES! That's what I've been hearing!!
Craig lives matter
"The Strokes win best rock album 2021 at Grammy awards! A word maybe, Julian?" ==> "Drums please Fab..."
Fab: * starts playing *
Julian: "I GOT IT ALL..."
Lol, so fitting.
This song is about Julian's relationship with his father. His dad died in 2013, shortly after the release of "Comedown Machine," so the material on this album is first stuff Julian would have released with The Strokes since his father's death. His dad was a pretty big deal in the modeling world and likely cast a long shadow. He probably traveled all the time and was not very present while he was home. This is a common story for people (like myself) who grew up rich in NYC. Something that is unique to rich NYC culture is that life does not revolve around children the way it does in the suburbs. Kids like Julian grow up fast and jaded in NYC and they have the freedom of 20 something yuppies when they are 15. It's a bit of a head trip, because on the one hand your parents have given you this amazing life that everyone wants, but on the other hand they are never around and it's pretty clear that spending time with you is not their priority. Julian's early music really captured the thrill and pain of growing up like that, and it's great to see him reflecting back as an older man, and finally getting his Grammy in the process.
this exactly
What an excellent comment
Well put.
thank you for making the song somehow better
so it's just about privileged kids?
I found this song by pure luck and now I’m crying at my work desk.

Revisiting in 2024
La frase más destacada de la canción es "drums please, Fab" jajaj
por siempre fab
Jajajajajajaja
The Strokes are so damn introspective on this album. I feel like they've reached into my soul and pulled out some deep emotions I didn't even know existed. You feel like you have to lay down in a quiet room after listening to it.
@THE FLASH not bad. Not bad at all.
@ZYNDER CUT seriously delete it. it's been the 7th time
The last verse is something I wish I was able to write. There's so much in that line that's impossible to express completely. Thank you, Jules and the boys....
I'm still waiting for the official video for "Why are sundays so depressing?"
Good one!🙂
plssss
Dudo que suceda, con este cerraron eso los videos creo
And The Adults are Talking. I already like planned out a whole AMV for it lmao so it'd be cool to see what they make for it
I’m still waiting for the video for “The Adults Are Talking”
I'm i the only one that has felt like i've heard this song before a long time ago like this song is new but it brings nostalgia
I'm I the only one that has felt like i've heard this song before a long time ago.
Yeah, sort of, it’s more like a path of life
No hate but the melody sounds a lot like "left outside alone" by Anastacia. Maybe you mean that by nostalgic
I totally agree. I feel like this song has been in my life for 20+ years. It’s so comfortable and calming for me to listen too
YES MAAAAAAN
the comments:
1%= Jesus christ
99%= Drums please Fab
Hahahahah lol
Now there’s a t shirt
😂😂😂
I like to imagine they edited out the sound of fab being slapped
Hi😂✌
Very very few bands that still hold up after decades of their golden era
how the hell did they make this masterpiece
I just lold bc I wonder the same
3d animation in timeless zoom out
This is totally a masterpiece right here
I wonder what you say to this music th-cam.com/video/riMmi1Lmhi8/w-d-xo.html
No selfles es mejor 👍
This album is a masterpiece.
“Not gonna wake up here anymore” that shet hits
By far one of the best songs created. My cousin got me into The Strokes since the Guitar Hero 3 days and been a fan since. I saw them live as well and this song conveys so much emotion; to having your favorite team disappoint you, to losing your friends as you grow old and what have I accomplished during my time as living. It can mean anything to anybody but the lyrics to this song just hit me every time I listen to this song. I have to listen to it fully every single time especially if I'm about to get off my car. I love The Strokes
Best song I’ve ever heard- 4:18 to 5:23 made me cry and gave me chills- I just lost my father. Thank you
Hope you are doing well, my friend. My condolences. ❤
Thank you for the kind words, much love
My condolences buddy thats life
And you got the Obito pfp, hope you’re taking it easy buddy
I’m sorry...my thoughts are with you
When I first heard this song I cried like a 10 year old girl. I’m a 38 year old dude. I can’t explain it. Love these guys
Neither me understand what is behind of this emotions.
Something deep in subconscious, coming from childhood, maybe memory of mom, lost too early, surely it is not about girls...
For many years no one stroke me so deep like Strokes done.., and strokes from drums matching well..
Thanks, guys, for great sound and perfect team work on video images..
Perhaps you cried like a 38 year old dude. And that’s okay
I usually never comment on TH-cam. But this song.... this song is just amazing. The lyrics, the arrangement, the sentimental "touch", which combines resignation and strength and brings you to tears and smile at the same time... everything is so moving and perfect. This song will stay with me all my life.
Agree 👍
100% agree 👍
Just saw I live a couple weeks ago. Wont ever forget the experience
I agree, it’s one of the few songs I ever commented on
It will become apparent why very soon
This is the kind of song that is so good that you have to listen to it three times on repeat until you feel satisfied and move on to the next one.
idk why but I cried when I saw the "You gotta believe", "Believe in Miracles" and "Restart" signs
Clearly the song is about a little more than baseball, since Restart changes the meaning of the other phrases somewhat.
@@Wiley_CoyoteThe Mets were named the Miracle Mets in 1969 for how they got to the World Series and won after a storybook ending. You gotta believe or rather Ya gotta believe is a slogan Mets fans have used for decades from that magical run they had in 1968 and 1986 so that answers a little bit of your question or statement.
when the end of the world comes, this is what I wanna be listening to
😬 Soon
It’s quickly become my favorite song by the Stokes, and it’s so beautiful I just wish it had a more fitting title. I have no issues with the Mets, but this song brings tears of joy, unlike the Mets (usually).
@@pnkflyd99 I kinda liked it after reading Fab's explanation 👀 "both the Mets and the song evoke “something that you set your heart to and that you love unconditionally but that continues to disappoint you”."
@@tamara770 that's my hope 🤪
Count this song in th-cam.com/video/xWndjqMwBu4/w-d-xo.html
“Into a deafening, shameful, painful ROARRRR”
alex flores I feel you, bro 😪
dis gonna be my funeral song
❤
I sang this to many girls i liked, they always fall in love afterwards, but i always come back to listen to it alone, i think it's my favorite song of all times.
Julian is acting in this song, not just showing off his vocals. Pay attention to the how he adapts the tone of voice to the meaning of each word. He weights each single line, not simply executing a melody.
Nah, he's just singing.
@@キラキラくりくり頭 Obviously more than singing only.
@@vdodenstein5754 dancing?
@@キラキラくりくり頭 Nice try... Julian truly is an artist. What more to say?
@@vdodenstein5754 so... he was painting while singing?
Tantos años escuchando the Strokes y aprendiendo de ellos en cada canción pero nunca olvidare la frase que julian dijo antes de empezar un concierto esa frase cambio mi vida y mi manera de ver todas las cosas, el dijo: “sándwich a las chichonas” grande Julian grande
Antonio Contreras c mamó.
Live out?
Jajssjjsjs
Jajaja donde lo dijo?
Hermoso recuerdo gracias
Saw the Strokes in Berlin in February 2020. They played Adults are talking for the first time and it blew me away. The whole concert was great. Shortly after corona came and concerts were no more. When the album finally came out I was immediately hooked on Ode to the meets, to a point where I would autistically listen to that song on repeat. For months. On my way to work and back home... just this song... Corona made the subways empty and the streets eerie. Ode To The Mets was my loyal companion in those weird weird times.
Lyrics:
Up on his horse, up on his horse
Not gonna wake up here anymore
Listen one time, it's not the truth
It's just a story, I tell to you
Easy to say, easy to do
But it's not easy, well, maybe for you
Hope that you find it, hope that it's good
Hope that you read it, think that you should
Cuts you some slack as he sits back
Sizes you up, plans his attack
Ah-da-da
Drums please, Fab
And I got it all, I got it all
Waiting for me down on the street
But now you gotta do somethin' special for me
I'm gonna say what's on my mind
Then I'll walk out, then I'll feel fine
Yeah, I'm under his thumb, I'm on his back
I will not show my teeth too quick
I needed you there, I needed you there
But I didn't know, I didn't know
Go alone
I'll go alone
We'll go alone
I'll go alone
Back from his trip, he's at the door
When he gets back, he's on the phone
Innocent eye, innocent heart
No, it's not wrong, but it's not right
Innocent time out on his own
Not got gonna do that, I'm out of control
I was just bored playin' the guitar
Learned all your tricks, wasn't too hard
It's the last one now, I can promise you that
I'm gonna find out the truth when I get back
Gone now are the old times
Forgotten, time to hold on the railing
The Rubik's cube isn't solving for us
Old friends, long forgotten
The old ways at the bottom
Of the ocean now has swallowed
The only thing that's left
Is us, so pardon the silence
That you're hearing is turning
Into a deafening, painful, shameful roar
THANK YOU BRO
Thx 💯
✌🏼♥️🤘🏼
Peace, love, rock n' roll!

Ok here’s my theory in the meaning behind this song
The band already said that the title is inspired by the baseball’s team “The Mets” which are from NY. It makes sense but the lyrics are deeper than that. It’s more like a song to the people you’ve have met and how the times have changed around with or without those people in your life. And the video it’s basically telling us the important of our past and how it can affects our future so basically it’s the classic “if you don’t know your history, you’re condemned to repeat it”. I’m sorry if I got something outta proportion here but at the end of the day it’s just art and Julian knows that so it’s all about perspectives. Regardless, it’s a great fucking masterpiece! ART&MUSIC.
I love it
Cool interpretation! I think its about Jules divorce.
@@stereostigma5794 that also makes sense
I like your interpretation.
Solid interpretation, I like it
God, watching night sky with a cigarette while listening to this song is a whole new level of sadness
Don't worry the reset is coming
@@eggandplant3682 So do i brother, so do i :(
I’m 47. I came of age during the grunge era. Rock really went sideways in the post-grunge/new metal era and I somehow missed these guys until fairly recently. Their music catalog was my repeating soundtrack during an awesome solo trip to NYC. The Strokes are my newest music obsession.
Alex Turner has probably replayed this video more than 1000 times
It's an arcade *on the moon*. I guess that's a definite "hard on for connectivity" for old Al.
He is one of us, he just wanted to be one of The Strokes...
This song hurts in the best way possible
i now realize that i have never truly lived.. never made such a conection with friends, girlfriends, family, places, times.. this song brings memories to me but are empty im there with my friends but i was never really there, i cant feel any nostalgic, in other words i feel like i have nothing to miss.. and this is really dissapointing
Same
god damn it, I feel the same, even if I were to die to in a couple of minutes, I would not be sad, because I never felt anything
Same
Emptiness may b the point. He has a band called the voids.....being disappointed is a feeling by the way....he wants I to feel what he is feeling. BIG time disappointment, emptiness, alienation, all of it...amongst the most lovely of images!
Hoje eu tenho 34 anos, quando ouvir Strokes pela primeira vez eu tinha 12 anos.
Teve um tempo que eu não ouvia mas as músicas da banda, porém quando ouvi essa música me lembrou da minha vó falecida e me trouxe ótimas lembranças quando era mais novo, como o tempo passa e a nossa vida aqui na terra vai acabando, Eu acredito em Deus mas às vezes vem cada sentimento que e difícil de explicar, eu so tenho agradecer a Deus pela vida e aproveitar cada momento até chegar o nosso fim aqui na terra e continuar no outro mundo! ❤
i've listened to this so many times, sometimes i'll say out loud "drums please, fab" completely out of context, expecting something to happen. i'm losing my mind
Wow. This song got so popular they named a baseball team after it.
lol mets
HA HA
the mets
