@Ryan Jachtmann interesting, that could be mixed in there. Seems to me it's about his dad, and maybe the relationships he witnessed and a little of his own relationships mixed in there. His dad was a world-traveling, important, wealthy sort of dude. He even had an affair with Stephanie Seymour when she was 16 (he was 41). I'm sure things like that bred a lot of animosity with Julian. But that's just my interpretation.

I almost spit out my drink when Jules said “drums please Fab” I thought it was a mistake when they played it live but it was part of the plan the whole time!
Someday (2001): In many ways, they'll miss the good old days, someday, someday... Ode to the Mets (2020): Gone now are the old times, forgotten, time to hold on the railing Time is a cruel mistress
@@drepram I don't think it's an official thing, I just saw a few cool references to earlier songs in this album that may have been unintentional. Such as Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus' line "Thought it was them, but maybe it's me" contrasting with Is This It "Dear can't you see, it's them it's not me", and "I was thinking about that thing that you said last night, so boring" contrasting with Reptilia "Tell us a story, I know you're not boring".
My dad introduced my brothers and I to The Strokes. Sadly he passed this year. But Someday reminds us of the first time he showed us The Strokes, and to me, Ode To The Mets is goodbye we never got from our Dad.
@Dangerous Thinking I like how you think. I am of the opinion that this album is very reminiscent of an early Radiohead album. The song structures and changes throughout, the diversity of sounds, etc, and absolutely SOLID from front to back.
FUN FACT: Fab named this song because of what he thought it meant. Fab thinks the song is about 'something that you set your heart to and that you love unconditionally but that continues to disappoint you' and for him ig it was the mets lol. We Stan Fab
Everybody’s talking about ‘drums please, fab’ but nobody‘s talking about how sad this song is...especially the last line ‘so pardon the silence that you’re hearing is turning into a deafening, painful, shameful roar’ jeez Julian, are you okay?
the question is: are WE (as a society and people) okay? thematically reminds me of "Night of the Long Knives" by Everything Everything, who are amazing btw
“Drums, please fab” honestly adds so much character to the song. It makes you feel like it’s completely personable, like you’re right there with them practicing or something!
And they will look up for a moment from their phone and go "erm what?" and you'll repeat the meme and they'll say "ugh shut up dad no one cares you're so embarrassing! ughhh" then proceed to call their friend to bitch about someone at school and you'll feel sad that you can't connect to your kids, so you'll say it to your wife and she'll look at you with disappointment and sleep on the sofa that night wondering whatever happened. So congratulations.
Listening to this record, after waiting for so long feels so so relieving to me, and probably to the band as well. I have been smiling more than i have in years listening to this. Thank you Julian, Fab, Nick, Nikolai, and Albert on behalf of myself and the rest of the fans of this magnificent band. All of these songs are so beautiful and this record is a masterpiece!!!
OMG I only got it yesterday and it has made today so good listening to them. The mood of the album is so atmospheric, I feel like I'm in love but with music, not a person.
I was pregnant when I saw you guys at ACL in 2010. Fast forward 10 years later, my kid is now a big fan of y’all. You’ll always have a place in my heart. Love you.
2 things: • I need to know if “Drums please, Fab” was added to the studio version after the live show or if it was always in there. • Why is it censored?

Hopefully she is fine because her father is sick with schizophrenia and she has to deal with all this alone. If she reads this, I will tell her that I hope you are well and I wish everything was better. Goodbye, I am starting a new phase of life.

@@MrShahid0072 Yea the sound is a bit different but the way Julian sings it and puts his "feel" into it.... Gave me instant nostalgia when I first listened
Look, I understand the "drums please fab" was cute and cool and amazing and awesome, but why is everyone talking about it when the ending vocals hit so hard and are so clear and you can just hear the straining and emotion in his voice?The last lyrics are literally so deep.
And try to listen song Madison beer reckless ...and how u feel it...to me I feel mad why this song similar to my favorite song ode to the Mets by the strokes
It’s just so pretty I can’t stop listening to the entire album. The strokes were the first band I ever saw in concert. They’re apart of me forever. Won’t ever forget meeting Julian at a signing at Waterloo records on Lamar here in Austin. He was cool as fuck.
Hello everyone, I haven't heard many songs by the Strokes nor by Julian Casablancas and the Voidz (it seems this guy has loads of things going on) so I am not a "specialist" of his/ their work. Anyway, I came across this song after discovering "Human sadness" by chance. So I was listening to this ode a bit unattentively while assessing some of my students' papers, I gradually grew more interested by 3:30 min and "yes, that sounds good, didn't expect that" and ten comes the finale by 4:20 min and...HELLOOOOO!? What's going on here?!! I'm overwhelmed with an unspeakable mix of thrills, feeling of nostalgia, desire, need for screaming, hey, what's that? Thay play with such humble talent, no overdone demonstration, ouh, this guy Julian and his fellows carried me away.
Welcome to this life. Every time you listen the songs you'll find other meaningful thoughts. And when you have a break, and come back again, the songs will mean different things, I swear to you!
welcome fellow new fan! you should check out the whole album, all the songs are pretty stellar. it makes me happy that you loved human sadness and this song because those might be my 2 favorite Julian songs ever.
Yeah they tend to evoke that. "is this it" is my favourite album, and it makes me feel like I was apart of a grungy NYC scene in the 00's. One that is probably too cool for me IRL.
The Strokes are one of the few bands that have never been disappointing for me. I know not everyone will agree, but I think every single one of their albums is great.
@@therotiv4 Alex siempre ha tenido como referencia a The Strokes, hasta hay conciertos en donde canta alguna canción de ellos (por ejemplo Take it or leave it), en su último disco, en la canción Start Treatment, el menciona en una parte que sólo quisiera uno de los Strokes, y muchos empezaron a hacer memes sobre eso
Miguel Cárdich Jajaja amigo captaste completamente errónea la referencia en star treatment. Lo que el quiere decir con “I just wanted to be one of the strokes” es que inicialmente lo que el quería era tener una banda así y fue lo que a un inicio lo impulsó. Pero nada que ver como referencia siempre
5:21 - That vibrato, man. A million singers can do it and use it all the time, sure. But the thing is, the emotion behind it is dulled for the listener when it’s a standard element in a vocalist’s performance. Julian though, rarely ever uses it, and so when you hearing it there, it hits your core. That desperation… damn. Less is more.
This song is me and my father’s relationship. I grew up so desperately seeking pride and validation from him because I looked up to him. Our closeness has been forever fractured by my older sisters death and the circumstances around it. She was his favorite, and what happened has crushed him in sorrow and regret. He coped in self protection, and waits for me to turn out just like her. You can no longer be proud of something you think is doomed, and the resentment shadows a lot of our interactions. It’s taken a long time to unlearn how the three of us cope, and to not internalize what he sees in me
Fun fact Julian did not want to name it ode to the Mets but the band seemed satisfied with the title so he rolled with it also was fabs idea to title it that. the concept being of the song loving something conditionally although it lets you down...which are the Mets
Om their podcast they said julian named it that on the subway. Fab just said he liked that title because the whole loving something but being disappointed is what he got from hearing the song
Tantas veces te pedí una desgraciado, tantas veces. He vomitado bilis por ti, se me ha caído el pelo por ti, tengo nervio por ti, voy al psiquiatra por ti y hoy, hoy por fin apareces, maldita sea por fin apareció The Strokes, Doctor. Dijimos, este es el The Strokes de las masas, hoy The Strokes venía mejor, apapachamos a The Strokes , lo acariciamos. Gracias, The Strokes . ¡PÉRDONAME, VOCE!
This album had helped me through the pandemic and my recent kidney transplant. Thanks strokes for your beautiful music that keeps getting me through hard times!
This is the first time of my life that I can witness the release of a Strokes new album and god I LOVE IT ♥️ This song is my favorite so far it gathers all I love about this band, nostalgia and joyful sadness. This whole album is magical thank you the Strokes for helping us going through this quarantine so well 💞
Letra en español: (más o menos) Arriba de su caballo (x2) Ya no voy a despertar aquí Escucha una vez No es la verdad Es solo una historia Que te cuento Fácil de decir Fácil de hacer Pero no es fácil - bueno, ¿tal vez para ti? Espero que lo que encuentres Espero que sea bueno Espero que lo leas Creo que deberías Te corta un poco mientras él se sienta Te mide Planea su ataque --batería por favor, Fab-- Lo tengo todo Lo tengo todo esperándome Calle abajo Pero ahora tienes que hacer algo especial para mí Voy a decir lo que está en mi mente Entonces me iré Entonces me sentiré bien Sí, estoy bajo su pulgar, estoy de espaldas No voy a mostrar mis dientes tan rápido Te necesité allí (x2) Pero no lo sabía (x2) Ir solo Iré solo Iremos solos Iré solo De vuelta de su viaje Él está en la puerta Cuando vuelve Él está al teléfono Ojo inocente Corazón inocente No, no está mal Pero no está bien Tiempos inocentes Fuera por su cuenta No tengo que hacer eso Salirme de control Sólo estaba aburrido Tocando la guitarra Aprendiendo todos tus trucos No fue tan difícil Es el último ahora Te puedo prometer Voy a encontrar la verdad Cuando vuelva Atrás quedaron los viejos tiempos Olvidados, tiempo para aferrarse del pasamanos El cubo rubix no se está resolviendo por nosotros Viejos amigos ya olvidados Las formas viejas en el fondo Del océano, ya se lo ha tragado Lo único que queda Somos nosotros - asi que perdón El silencio que estás escuchando Se está convirtiendo En un doloroso y vergonzoso rugido ensordecedor
Gracias! Me encanta la letra, y el ritmo El hecho de que tendré algo nuevo que escuchar en la cuarentena Me encanta the Strokes Y me encanta el hecho de que te tomes el tiempo de traducir 💕
l'll look back at this time in my life and think of this sound as I watch the world around me change. this album gives off a end of the world vibe during some parts and something these guys are always good at is making you feel melancholic of a time you remember or never knew. But I guess you could say the root of happiness is the sadness through which it pervades. Every chord these guys hit makes me feel a wave of emotion and I wish I could thank them for the impact they've had on my life
I’m just 19 years old, but I already can tell y’all that, one day, I’ll be dying in a bed (hopefully with those that I love by my side) and I will listen to the outro crumbling down to tears, just when it’s time to hold on the railing.
I am glad to know this ideal song. In the difficult moments of my life, When I lost hope of everything and everyone, When they left me and I left them, I missed and loved, when i needed him there, i was always listening to this song and filling with mysterious energy that has made me strong to this day. now, when „he is back from his trip" and „waiting for me down on the street" again, i want to say that the songs we love do not lose their meaning for us over the years as well as the people who we love unconditionally.
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. that was difficult but good to read
*D R U M S*

@Ryan Jachtmann interesting, that could be mixed in there. Seems to me it's about his dad, and maybe the relationships he witnessed and a little of his own relationships mixed in there. His dad was a world-traveling, important, wealthy sort of dude. He even had an affair with Stephanie Seymour when she was 16 (he was 41).

Its because it was written just for you...
it's an old reference !
those dry little details from julian are an essential part of the strokes sound/character
Still HILARIOUS when Julian tried to kill Fab on the Letterman Show when they debuted ANGLES after Fab played the radio version of Taken for a Fool.
I'll tell my children that the world was falling apart, then Julian said: "Drums please, Fab", and everything went right.
And they will look up for a moment from their phone and go "erm what?" and you'll repeat the meme and they'll say "ugh shut up dad no one cares you're so embarrassing! ughhh" then proceed to call their friend to bitch about someone at school and you'll feel sad that you can't connect to your kids, so you'll say it to your wife and she'll look at you with disappointment and sleep on the sofa that night wondering whatever happened.

This gonna be best ever i read comment
@@hanslife4485 gonna???
Same with me bro but we are starting a new phase in our life and hopefully it’ll get better but stay strong king your gonna do great 😁👍🏻
I’m rooting for you
I would pay good money just to hear this song again for the first time
💡 A song u should listen too is -Time by The Impures, is a pretty chill song IMO
Same. I was at the NYE concert in 2019/2020 and was blown away by it.
this first listen is dedicated to you
@@KMXDS was it good
Just happened to me right now. So rare to be amazed by new songs from old bands. This one is jewels
I read a review that said the last 2 minutes of this song are the best in the last 20 years of rock. I agree
What a f*cking masterpiece
yes.
absolutely
Of course
lol not really.. the lyrics are a mess

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 the 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
Drums please, Fab
And I got it all, I got it all
Waitin' 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
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 gonna do that, fuck, 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
They all wait 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 turnin' into a deafening
Painful, shameful roar
Thanks a lot👍👍
Drums please, Fab
I wish I could say “Drums please, Fab” then out of nowhere he shows up with the drum kit and a beat.

This is the most "the strokes" song by the strokes ive ever heard
Really? Because I think it's quite unlike the strokes. To me " Alone together" is the most "the strokes" song.
@@MrShahid0072 Yea the sound is a bit different but the way Julian sings it and puts his "feel" into it.... Gave me instant nostalgia when I first listened
Beginning is just parachutes by Sean lennon
@@monsiuersmartypants3391 thanks for the tip, it's a great song.
That would have to be The Modern Age for me.
Cuando Julián dijo "Drums please fab" bro I really feel that.
Chabón te crucé en todos los videos y en todos tenías muchos likes jajajajajja
No entendí, me explican?
adrianbetancour siempre le decía eso a fab, en el concierto que hicieron para MTV 2$bills le dijo a fab en The Modern Age
Bru i rlly feel dat 👌👌
Fucking pepega
Casi lloro de la emoción :,3
Look, I understand the "drums please fab" was cute and cool and amazing and awesome, but why is everyone talking about it when the ending vocals hit so hard and are so clear and you can just hear the straining and emotion in his voice?The last lyrics are literally so deep.
no one told me we where recording...
BRUUUHHH
Cuz u went to bring a sandwich , you were eating
@@human7491
What "fab" means?
@@human7491 no it’s Fabrizio
😂😂😂😂😂😂
My heart is going to break listening to this. I can't explain it.
Same. It's 8 a.m. where I am and I'm already feeling feels here lmao
Dangerous Thinking give this guy a cookie!!
yeah.
@Dangerous Thinking nice one
And try to listen song Madison beer reckless ...and how u feel it...to me I feel mad why this song similar to my favorite song ode to the Mets by the strokes
The ending brings tears to my eyes literally my favorite part of all music such a beautiful song
It’s just so pretty I can’t stop listening to the entire album. The strokes were the first band I ever saw in concert. They’re apart of me forever. Won’t ever forget meeting Julian at a signing at Waterloo records on Lamar here in Austin. He was cool as fuck.
They were my first concert too, Spring of 2004 in Providence. When did you see them?
@@johnmitchell8487 2009 at SXSW here in Austin
Saw them in 2003. They put on a great live show, don’t they?
@@seabrook1976 definitely
Hello everyone, I haven't heard many songs by the Strokes nor by Julian Casablancas and the Voidz (it seems this guy has loads of things going on) so I am not a "specialist" of his/ their work. Anyway, I came across this song after discovering "Human sadness" by chance. So I was listening to this ode a bit unattentively while assessing some of my students' papers, I gradually grew more interested by 3:30 min and "yes, that sounds good, didn't expect that" and ten comes the finale by 4:20 min and...HELLOOOOO!? What's going on here?!! I'm overwhelmed with an unspeakable mix of thrills, feeling of nostalgia, desire, need for screaming, hey, what's that? Thay play with such humble talent, no overdone demonstration, ouh, this guy Julian and his fellows carried me away.
Calm down bruh
You're too get heart attack from over excitement
So much emotion in this song 🥺👏🏻
Welcome to this life. Every time you listen the songs you'll find other meaningful thoughts. And when you have a break, and come back again, the songs will mean different things, I swear to you!
Clear Skies and Ill try anything Once.
those songs have a little of what you described in the long comment.
Give them a listen.
welcome fellow new fan! you should check out the whole album, all the songs are pretty stellar. it makes me happy that you loved human sadness and this song because those might be my 2 favorite Julian songs ever.
"Drums, please, Fab?" so brilliant for this to be the official version.
Julian: Drums please, Fab
Alex: Wow
Also Alex:
Drums please, MaTt
This made me laught so hard
It reminds me of one point perspective when Matt says 'stop'
Who is Alex?
@@glipk arctic monkeys' singer :) he loves the Strokes lol
is it just me or alex turner jokes are not funny anymore?
This song makes me nostalgic for something I can't explain...
This song reminds me to Left Outside Alone by Anastacia 😅😅
Yeah they tend to evoke that. "is this it" is my favourite album, and it makes me feel like I was apart of a grungy NYC scene in the 00's. One that is probably too cool for me IRL.
You might say its "Hard to Explain"
@@TheSambo195 you beat me to it.
That's basically The Strokes, what is cool is they do that while making music that is timeless.
4:19 until the end is legendary. The best closer ever.
Joe K it keeps growing . It’s bloody amazing finisher
Is this part a cameo of another song?? Can't figure it out!
Joe K I replay the entire song just to listen to the end again😂 it’s so good.
@@thebends6580 the rifts are silmar to the song by strokes is this it

The Strokes are one of the few bands that have never been disappointing for me. I know not everyone will agree, but I think every single one of their albums is great.

Alex Turner debe estar muy feliz
Me explicas la referencia de que Alex dijo "i wanna be one of the strokes" pero no sé dónde lo dijo
@@therotiv4 lo dijo en una de sus canciones de artic jaja
@@therotiv4 en star treatment
@@therotiv4 Alex siempre ha tenido como referencia a The Strokes, hasta hay conciertos en donde canta alguna canción de ellos (por ejemplo Take it or leave it), en su último disco, en la canción Start Treatment, el menciona en una parte que sólo quisiera uno de los Strokes, y muchos empezaron a hacer memes sobre eso
Miguel Cárdich Jajaja amigo captaste completamente errónea la referencia en star treatment. Lo que el quiere decir con “I just wanted to be one of the strokes” es que inicialmente lo que el quería era tener una banda así y fue lo que a un inicio lo impulsó. Pero nada que ver como referencia siempre
Julian’s vocals from 4:19 to 5:25 give me goosebumps every time...
Same , feels something outta this world
Everything’s always great at 4:20
Thrilling music, excellent voice, interesting singing manner,bravoTS!
Dark,romantic,lovethis
Eminds me of Radiohead❤
I will always wreck my voice trying to replicate the final part of this song and I’ve made peace with that
5:21 - That vibrato, man. A million singers can do it and use it all the time, sure. But the thing is, the emotion behind it is dulled for the listener when it’s a standard element in a vocalist’s performance. Julian though, rarely ever uses it, and so when you hearing it there, it hits your core. That desperation… damn. Less is more.
Exactly e-xact-ly my thoughts!! Glad others noticed it too!!
The one he does after ‘railing’ is also heart melting 🥺 4:30
Listen to Ofra Haza. The greatest vibrato you'll hear in a singer.
I agree, the emotion. Hits every time.
Cringe
not gonna lie. this song peels me like a fruit
Hahaha retweet
why is this comment so relatable
How do you mean? In a good way or sad way?
It's June and I'm still in shock at how good this album is. Cheers to The Strokes, really hope this isn't the end!
Isn't it?
Some might say that even the end has no end 👀
It's 2023 and I'm still hooked
April 10th, 2020. The world is in a shitty place, but the strokes have the cure
I’ve literally been waiting for this for ages and it’s finally here.
i couldn’t be happier
I've been waiting for years
Finally >w
we all have😂issa good day for us all
Ever since the live show I’ve wanted this, we finally got it! ♥️
I’m so fucking happy they finally won a Grammy for this album. This was so long overdue. 20 fucking years late.
💡 ikr A song u should listen too is -Time by The Impures, is a pretty chill song IMO
4:19 to the end almost made me cry, what an amazing outro to an even more amazing album
let the tears left, yeah that outro is uhhhhh
This outro is one of my favorite bits of music from The Strokes. Gets me every time.
Julian's voice is everything. Too much. My favorite from the new album.
cxmplexes it’s soooo good !
This song is me and my father’s relationship. I grew up so desperately seeking pride and validation from him because I looked up to him. Our closeness has been forever fractured by my older sisters death and the circumstances around it. She was his favorite, and what happened has crushed him in sorrow and regret. He coped in self protection, and waits for me to turn out just like her. You can no longer be proud of something you think is doomed, and the resentment shadows a lot of our interactions. It’s taken a long time to unlearn how the three of us cope, and to not internalize what he sees in me
Fun fact Julian did not want to name it ode to the Mets but the band seemed satisfied with the title so he rolled with it also was fabs idea to title it that. the concept being of the song loving something conditionally although it lets you down...which are the Mets
Om their podcast they said julian named it that on the subway. Fab just said he liked that title because the whole loving something but being disappointed is what he got from hearing the song
@@joseraya1482 i gotta listen to this podcast
Tantas veces te pedí una desgraciado, tantas veces. He vomitado bilis por ti, se me ha caído el pelo por ti, tengo nervio por ti, voy al psiquiatra por ti y hoy, hoy por fin apareces, maldita sea por fin apareció The Strokes, Doctor. Dijimos, este es el The Strokes de las masas, hoy The Strokes venía mejor, apapachamos a The Strokes , lo acariciamos. Gracias, The Strokes . ¡PÉRDONAME, VOCE!
Jajajajaj pinche martinoli
Pero mira esas referencias xD

Buena martinoli

That might just work.
We can only hope
Goggle products ...off your meds?😂😂

they are literally the most beautiful thing thats happening in the whole world right now.
The last 60 seconds of this song made the whole album for me
i keep rewinding it back to the beginning of the outro.....the final 4 lyrics hit real hard! its so good...
Desde diciembre esperando esta canción, para mi la mejor del álbum!
Cierto es muy buena y pensar que en vivo se escucha igual de bien
Para mi igual
Igual hermano esperando esta canción para escucharla bien
desde que la escuche la hice mi favorita
A mi tambien me encanta.
This album had helped me through the pandemic and my recent kidney transplant. Thanks strokes for your beautiful music that keeps getting me through hard times!
Oh, Lord, this is probably the most beautiful song I've ever listened to
It is
Lo único bueno de este año es el nuevo álbum de los strokes.

This is the song "Is This It" but almost 20 years later, love it
I’ll never forget being there when they played this for the first time at the NYE show in Brooklyn. It was so magical. “Gone now are the old times...”
Crying under this in a loop 😭

A q se refiere ? Es como una referencia a Axel Turner ?
I love this song, Julian's voice sounds amazing on this track..
Maximus2318 moi aussi j’adore 😉
No se como me pude olvidar de la existencia de este temón. Tantos meses sin escucharla.
This is the first time of my life that I can witness the release of a Strokes new album and god I LOVE IT ♥️ This song is my favorite so far it gathers all I love about this band, nostalgia and joyful sadness. This whole album is magical thank you the Strokes for helping us going through this quarantine so well 💞
I feel the same way, joyful sadness is the best way to describe strokes songs
Letra en español: (más o menos)
Arriba de su caballo (x2)
Ya no voy a despertar aquí
Escucha una vez
No es la verdad
Es solo una historia
Que te cuento
Fácil de decir
Fácil de hacer
Pero no es fácil - bueno, ¿tal vez para ti?
Espero que lo que encuentres
Espero que sea bueno
Espero que lo leas
Creo que deberías
Te corta un poco mientras él se sienta
Te mide
Planea su ataque
--batería por favor, Fab--
Lo tengo todo
Lo tengo todo esperándome
Calle abajo
Pero ahora tienes que hacer algo especial para mí
Voy a decir lo que está en mi mente
Entonces me iré
Entonces me sentiré bien
Sí, estoy bajo su pulgar, estoy de espaldas
No voy a mostrar mis dientes tan rápido
Te necesité allí (x2)
Pero no lo sabía (x2)
Ir solo
Iré solo
Iremos solos
Iré solo
De vuelta de su viaje
Él está en la puerta
Cuando vuelve
Él está al teléfono
Ojo inocente
Corazón inocente
No, no está mal
Pero no está bien
Tiempos inocentes
Fuera por su cuenta
No tengo que hacer eso
Salirme de control
Sólo estaba aburrido
Tocando la guitarra
Aprendiendo todos tus trucos
No fue tan difícil
Es el último ahora
Te puedo prometer
Voy a encontrar la verdad
Cuando vuelva
Atrás quedaron los viejos tiempos
Olvidados, tiempo para aferrarse del pasamanos
El cubo rubix no se está resolviendo por nosotros
Viejos amigos ya olvidados
Las formas viejas en el fondo
Del océano, ya se lo ha tragado
Lo único que queda
Somos nosotros - asi que perdón
El silencio que estás escuchando
Se está convirtiendo
En un doloroso y vergonzoso rugido ensordecedor
💜
Gracias! Me encanta la letra, y el ritmo
El hecho de que tendré algo nuevo que escuchar en la cuarentena
Me encanta the Strokes
Y me encanta el hecho de que te tomes el tiempo de traducir 💕

I wish i could hear this for the first time all over again
Favorite song on this album
I've known this band for some years but never gave them a chance, jeez what I've been missing, I'm hooked now.
Okay, his voice has such a satisfying low register to it, that I feel like this is a conversation, doubling as a song. Beautiful piece ♡
Cerveza en mano, auriculares y este tremendo tema, casi me hace olvidar que el mundo se esta yendo al carajo.
x2 yo anoche
al contrario, el mundo está renaciendo, los que nos estamos yendo al carajo somos otros...
x2 con un arizona
Justo hace como un mes estaba exactamente igual... y un poco drogado :,v jajaja
Yo, hace dos dias. Pero afuera de un bama.
l'll look back at this time in my life and think of this sound as I watch the world around me change. this album gives off a end of the world vibe during some parts and something these guys are always good at is making you feel melancholic of a time you remember or never knew. But I guess you could say the root of happiness is the sadness through which it pervades. Every chord these guys hit makes me feel a wave of emotion and I wish I could thank them for the impact they've had on my life
Damn the intro at 0:27 it sounds just like the heaven. Im in love with this
Me encantó la canción por su ritmo, letra y el "Drums please Fab". Son mi banda favorita!😆 Gracias salvadores del rock!💪
I’m just 19 years old, but I already can tell y’all that, one day, I’ll be dying in a bed (hopefully with those that I love by my side) and I will listen to the outro crumbling down to tears, just when it’s time to hold on the railing.
Brilliant! Too many emotions. Everything is just perfect
New Favorite Strokes song.. they’re back, boys. Sweet melancholic melodies that somehow give life. ❤️
I can’t believe they added “Drums please Fab to the studio version” this is exactly why The Strokes are my favourite band.
This is already on my top 2 all time favorite songs
"I'm gonna say what's on my mind. Then I'll walk out, then I'll feel fine." My mood towards intolerable people in 2020.
Harris Ruslan that’s a constant mood my man
the best mindset
Those intolerable people have the same attitude.
My mood all my life basically.
no. Another brik on the wall, but they have a lot of influences, like anybody else.
old friends, long forgotten
"innocent eyes, innocent heart" I can't believe how even so baritone it is so smooth the tone he gets
At the start I was like: "meh, not every song from The Strokes may be good"
Then I was like: " w o w"
The strokes always the strokes
Peru lima tarapoto presente!!!, para mi esta cancion pone piel de gallina!! es una dosis de euforia!! grande the strokes
Trujillo tambien 👏
Callao presente uwu
Cono norte de lima se hace presente :v
En Perú hay Internet? wtf
How is this not by far the most popular song from this album, the adults are talking is good. But this is the strokes magnum opus
Love almost every song off the album but “ why are Sundays so depressing “ is my favorite
At the door is also amazing, but this song is just something else
If I could have only one song play at my funeral. This would be the song.
I am glad to know this ideal song. In the difficult moments of my life, When I lost hope of everything and everyone, When they left me and I left them, I missed and loved, when i needed him there, i was always listening to this song and filling with mysterious energy that has made me strong to this day.
now, when „he is back from his trip" and „waiting for me down on the street" again, i want to say that the songs we love do not lose their meaning for us over the years as well as the people who we love unconditionally.
bro..
Me imaginé Alex Turner fangirleando por el nuevo álbum
