Leaving just in time, stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy, do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different, so I'll pretend I'm leaving

A few things:
1. Julian is cooler than ice.
2. I'm never going to get tired of that solo.
3. This song is timeless.
Brilliant comm. 👍 👍 👍
*this album is timeless
*Julian is timeless
I'm never going to get tired of that solo too!
4. Smoking tobacco is shit
@poiuytdxcvbn I loooove weed :D
Julian can somehow sing with complete apathy meanwhile singing with more emotion than any other modern singer i can recall
That's a great way to put it.
Totally reminds me of Ian McCullough (Echo and the
Bunnymen)
You must've of heard of the foals...
Any singer in the Modern Age?
hes da best
“In the sun, sun, having fun, it’s in my BLOOD” genius. Such an incredible, timeless bands. One of the last great true rock bands.
Agreed. Timeless.
Usually, after falling in love with a band, I try to find out bands sounding similar and with the same vibe. The Strokes are the only ones which made me fail at that. There's something in Julian's voice and in how guitars intertwine with each other that is absolutely unique
For real. but Hot fuss by The Killers has some serious Strokes vibes, velvet underground has a little bit in common because that's who inspired Julian to sing the way he does.
Same; I don’t even really listen to anything else besides the strokes and julians solo/voidz stuff. The only other band I listen to is the white stripes
interpol
@@perioax6506 try the killers, Arctic monkeys, interpol, cage the elephant, there's a lot out there, I don't want you to get burned out
@@tonieeb9220 I have listened a lot of arctic monkeys but I don't they think they are even a little bit similar to strokes
EDIT: Y'all bashing me for this so let me clear it up I've heard the first 3 AM albums like 15 times each I love their craft but their work doesn't sound similar to the strokes to me yeah I know "I always wanted to be one of the strokes" it conveys the message that he was inspired by The Strokes not that his music was Their work is way more finished and clean like it's not even garage rock it's just Pop rock and that's good too it's a lot more Hip-hop influenced too but yeah I don't find them too similar to the Strokes
This is that album that you inadvertently come across when something is changing in your life . Someway, somehow, you find it . You listen to it over and over again, and from that point on, it becomes the music you're familiar with when your whole life became something you didn't recognize .
I was trying to explain this album to someone and you've done it perfectly thank you
wow
yep. i haven't felt this way towards a band since Tool a couple years ago, which was a very transitive time for me and i think things are changing now too
nah i think its just good music
Man this is exactly whats happening to me right now! Spot on!
It's interesting how Julian takes a break and look away (while having some beer) to let the whole audience atention focus on Nick's riff; it's amazing the work of each one and then the whole, is just great.
Nah but you can see it that way if you want to
and thats a rly cool shot when Nick's playing the solo and julian has his back to the camera @2:14
Pretty sure he just wanted a sip of beer and that was the best time, being a break in the vocals. But Julian does have great stage presence. He wanders all around the stage with style.
This is his body language in most of their performances. I sing their songs at karaoke and naturally do the same things during those riffs. He's just a very laid back person.
I love how they all play their instruments in such different ways. Fibrizio looks so concentrated while Nick makes playing the guitar look so effortlessly.
Cynthia Fuentes same! And Nikolai is just chillin in his own little corner, Albert going steady with his guitar, Jules being Jules smoking and not giving a damn haha. Love it!
whos gonna tell them
Man The Strokes really just have a timeless sound. You could tell me this song came out a few weeks ago and not in 2001 and I'd believe you
it comes from the future
@@sownlengoc you mean from... The Modern Age?
because it’s a carbon copy of the 70s.
The Strokes give me a feeling that I've never felt before. And no other band/music can make me feel that way. like a young carefree reckless summer in new york
In California!
in Amsterdam!
in Marrakesh
In Caracas
In El Salvador
Julian's voice here feels like a warm hug. I love the early tracks so much.
essa vos grave do julian e muito foda , brasil
he sounds buzzed 😆
hes high af
I don't like much in the 2000s, this is one of a handful of bands whose sound I love. This song is a fav
More like sandpaper in your ears, in a good way
0:43 Fab: "It's good, it's just scoliosis for life"
I think only Nikolai won't get scoliosis out of them all
@@TheJupiteL haha Yeah, but Fabrizio was the only one who said it 😂
@@TheJupiteL Yeah, like he never looked down to his bass like how the others are hunched, or at least leaning to their equipment.
This song is the soul of this genre.
What would you say is their genre?

good shit

I was blessed to have seen The Strokes play with The White Stripes in NYC in 2002. Julian Casablancas was a pure genius. I was in New York City art scene in 2000, 2001 and I remember the buzz on the street about this band and others in the NYC scene were blowing up. People don't realize but September 11th has a big part in this because all these things were happening in NYC at the time - I remember saying to a buddy after 9-11 that now everyone's gonna come to NYC and they did. It just so happened that the kids in the underground art and music scenes in NYC in 2001/2002 were the ones helping heal the youth of the city from within. We had Interpol, Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Radio 4, Black Dice, The Strokes, on and on. Nothing like being a 25 year old in NYC in 2001 and discovering this band, The Strokes. They changed everything. By 2003, all the original scenesters left and we ended up with... a ton of hipster knock-off noise and the new Williamsburg scene.
I wasn't even born whe you were living that part of your life. I'm a college student now. So much time in between and yet we're still both enjoying the strokes. I love music
is this it were supposed to drop in america on 11th september 2001 right? idk if thats a bad timing or a good timing
I love Julian's chilled out and slow vocals. It almost looks he does it effortlessly.
No matter how much time goes by, I always end up going back to the Strokes
They were so young, this makes me feel so fucking old
Maximum Blaster pff im 20 and i already feel old man
Alex Alvarez Hahahaha
Alex Alvarez really? I'm kinda looking forward to our early 30s
Yo, we're a beginning indie rock band and we've just released a new song: stookvogel.bandcamp.com/track/dried-out-land We'd really appreciate it if you take a listen
+Stookvogel not bad at all guys, keep up like that !! sounds really good (y)
This song is a crazy masterpiece. I'll tell you why, the part where he's talking about all this effort "trying to catch your eye", he sings it with no effort, there's no effort being seen through his actions in the live performances and also in his voice. Thats why it's so fantastic. I cannot express how much, thought has gone into this song, it's crazy.
Not really that big of a "masterpiece". It's a good song, not much more than that. You're seeing things how you want to see them.
I guess you're right, there's no evidence that his performance is intended to mean that. Still, I like to think its true as it's a really cool play on the song :)
PogoMojo You just nailed it.
I think it's a masterpiece of composition and balance. It's a subtle rock tune, but that slow build just piles tension on itself, and explodes. It just chugs along, with lyrics that keep your attention as if he's just telling you a story in convo. Then that solo rips through w major attitude. Every little piece of this song compliments. It sounds like it was thought out over time, to sound plain and simple. Julian is a killer song writer. Any good musician can play these parts, but not many people put songs together as well as he does. Not to take anything away from the other guys, because as a live act, they're irreplaceable. But, Jules is the quiet genius.
ur having a moment.......
I literally have to stop myself cuz this julian era is absolutely torturing my soullllll, how can someone look this perfect, sound this perfect, be this perfect???????????? its killing me
Yeah hes pretty amazing.
I frickin' love how he says varieties
This is some of the most guitar‑centric music you'll ever hear: The fuzzed mid‑volume vocals really lets the music guitars dominate the songs, which is great because Nick and Albert's riffs are so well‑woven together. It's like The Cars blended with Black Sabbath, yet with a Cobain-Lennon coolness fusion and punk attitude.
This bands wimp ass music is nothing like Black Sabbath or the Cars. Stop comparing bands with bands that have nothing in common with them
@@michaeldejong2700 ouh someones offended...
@@michaeldejong2700 need a tissue? Sounds like you might be upset
Exactly the reason I fell in love with this album.
great comparisons, with just the right amount of nyc velvet underground artiness ;)
I admire The Strokes beyond words. People say that multiple artists relate to them through their music. Personally, this band is probably the one I relate to more than any other band/artist out there by a long stretch.
Skye Wheeler hmu
This is the comment that I relate to more than any other by a long stretch. Lol
This.
i wish they'll get an award for being one of the influentials in our generation
the best comment I've seen on the strokes , my absolute favourites , and one of their kind....
My Brother, Zisi loved this band. he passed aways last year and I miss him so much... I never actually listened when he played these tracks, but I definitely break down to some of them cause i subconsciously remember him playing them.. Love you so much Z man, rest in power♥️
Sorry for your loss bro, stay strong.
Recently discovered this band
Man I love it so much
They're my life
U have a favorite song by the strokes?
me too!!
Same here
I discovered them 20 years ago and still love them. What an energy they have.
They add something to my day, more fun and more enlivening than a triple shot iced mocha!
Letra/Lyrics
The Strokes - The modern age
Up on a hill is where we begin
This little story a long time ago
Stop to pretend, stop pretending
It seems this game is simply never-ending
Oh, in the sun, sun having fun
It's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you here right now
Let me go, oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
Leavin' just in time
Stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean
Trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different
So I'll pretend I'm leaving
Our fears are different here
We train in A-V-A
I wish you hadn't stayed
My vision's clearer now, but I'm unafraid
Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
I took too many varieties
Oh, in the sun, sun having fun
It's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you here right now
Let me go
Darling let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
Leaving just in time
Staying for a while
Rolling in the ocean
Trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different
So this is why I'm leaving
heroe
I'm old enough to remember when when this song came out and The Strokes were being hailed as the new saviors of rock along with a few other bands. I thought it was hype and then I heard this song and was hypnotized by it. It sounded like a classic Lou Reed track reimagined, not a cheap copy but a truly vibrant and young nod to authentic rock n roll. Then I heard him shout that Little Richard "wooooooo!" on the second verse and it brought a tear to my eye. It's such a classic rock'n'roll signifier that sounded so beautifully out of place in a time when the radio was dominated by limp bizkit. To me, that "woooo!" is the moment rock and roll came back for me.
oh darlin let mee-uhh A-g-g-g-g-g-gooooooooooooooo
lol classic
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST COMMENT EVER,I FELT THE SAME WAY
Wow Man that was inspiring. I got emotional. :)
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.
amazing
Still to this day my favorite song by them. Not only because its a musical masterpiece, but also because it invokes the memories of driving around with my friends on backroads at 17 celebrating 420 after school, and being kids. We didnt have cell phones in our faces 24/7 back in my day. Ya know. 20 years ago lol
Julian’s voice makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
i can make you feel warm and fuzzy inside if yknow what i mean
I've always loved the clothes julian wears
he's a man of great style
its a marine corps dress blues coat, in case you were wondering
and
my style icon tbh
Juan Esqueda i was wondering that too thanks for also seeing it
I really respect a group that sounds studio live, every song they do live sounds perfect.
It always blows my mind how they can create so much from so little. Their sound is like a wall of bricks that just hit you in the face.
😂😂❤😂😂
Lowkey the best Strokes song
The Strokes til the end of my days yo.
I agree with gandalf
If you're listening to this in June 2020 or beyond, you got my vote.
It's in my blood I just can't help it
Constantly come back to watch the music video...the song on platforms like Spotify just don’t sound the same..
@@2ImJoshua this is the live version, I highly suggest watching their 2002 mtv concert of Is This It, they blow the already amazing album that Is This It out of the water.
Sorry ,it's August
When is this calendar silly thing going to stop? We are all listening during this lockdown, a lot of people are here during this 2020 for obvious reasons, what's next: the "nobody..." comment or the "hold my beer" joke?
1:35 the transition of the camera and the background colors along with the music is so perfect. I definitely love this part.
holy shit after countless times replaying this video I just noticed Julian's voice cracked at 3:40 lol
Tomorrow will be diIfferent
what shampoo do these guys use? Everyone's hair looks so soft and fluffy!
Yeah, about as soft and fluffy as some 80/20 ground beef haha
beer
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard at this.
it's the grease on their hair nothing special ✨✨
Julian's hair looks so fucking greasy lol
No one is gonna talk about how this is clearly a live recording and not the album version?
It's from $2 bill I think, either that or they're wearing the exact same clothes at the exact same venue. I think they just remastered the original recordings at the time and made it into a music video
why does the album version sound faster than this one?
Cuz that's the level of quality you expect from this bunch.
Those dudes we're total professionals, and real students of music theory.
@@jamlevasseur2951 Yeah it’s about 20bpm slower. Makes it sounds so constrained. Such a difficult tempo to hold.
3 bands I absolutely fell in love with for no reason whatsoever and loyally stuck with for years on the rawness of their talent, like no other bands before or since:
1. Radiohead (aged 17)
2. Wilco (20)
3. The strokes (25)
[][][
( look up this song - faceless humming by the impures ) __________ is good :)
[][......
Love the rawness in his voice
It's kinda like Lou Reed's style. Julian is a huge fan of him.
I don't even need to say anything. This shit speaks for itself and I mean that in a good way.
This song makes me sad by 0:11, super sad by 0:21, and really fucking sad by 0:28.
I love it!
+Jesse James Atencio
The chorus breaks your heart
“Up on a hill, here’s where we begin/This little story, a long time ago” Maybe New York City isn’t technically a hill and maybe 14 years isn’t so long ago, but, excepting that, the opening line from “The Modern Age” could serve double-duty as the first words in the story of The Strokes. After all, the song was the title track and one of three songs included on the EP the band released in 2001 that set off a bidding war for their services and cranked up the hype machine to deafening levels.
It also is one of the most memorable tracks on the band’s debut album Is This It, an album that somehow managed to exceed that hype. The Strokes’ sound, which combined the ramshackle attitude of garage rock with the arched-eyebrow posturing of art rock in striking fashion, receives a lot of that credit for the band’s success. But that sound wouldn’t have meant quite as much if it weren’t attached to memorable songs courtesy of lead singer Julian Casablancas.
“The Modern Age” is a fine example of this alchemy. Chunky staccato guitars in the intro eventually open up into a buoyant bass line from Nikolai Fraiture and stomping drums from Fabrizio Moretti. Nick Valensi takes off on a searing guitar solo in the middle portion of the song, yet the melody in the chorus balances that out with its melancholic chord changes.
Casablancas’ vocals contain that same kind of variety, as he trades off between dejected monotone and animated braying, like some unholy cross between Ian Curtis and Jim Morrison. The lyrics also can’t decide whether they want rhapsodize about some idealized afternoon in the sun or moan about the peripatetic nature of 21st-century life.
Along the way, Casablancas’ lines, seemingly tossed off and nonchalant, start to draw blood. “Stop to pretend, stop pretending/It seems this game is simply never-ending,” he sings, seeming to reference the chasm between childhood playfulness and adult seriousness that the young-at-heart futilely try to bridge. When he sings, “Work hard and say it’s easy,” it’s an interesting theory for this at-the-time budding rock star to put forth: that the appearance of nonchalance may be crucial to success, but the practice of it is career suicide.
Through the song a loose story about the narrator trying to shake free from a clinging suitor runs, but “The Modern Age” is after bigger fish than that, as evidenced by the song’s title. The pleasures are ephemeral (“No time to feel the breeze”), the coping mechanisms are numbing (“I took too many varieties”), and, when you can’t make it work, it’s best just to bail and try again another day (“Tomorrow may be different/So this Is why I’m leaving.”)
Speaking about his band’s enduring popularity in a 2014 Rolling Stone interview, Casablancas shook off the plaudits. “It feels humbling and validating that you’re doing some things right,” he said. “But it’s the same thing with an actor: If a movie does really well at the box office, they make 10 of those afterward because that’s what they think people like. . . . If something has commercial value, it doesn’t mean it’s good.” False modesty and indifferent cool is all well and good, but many have tried to copy The Strokes formula in the wake of Is This It and have fallen well short. And the story the band started with “The Modern Age” still enthralls.
nice

this is labour my friend. the dude shared his perspective. appreciate it or don't. Never just write "nice". manners, for fuck sake.

I started liking these guys too late i'm sad
not too late! Have you heard their new album its amazing
Eu também escutei muito tarde mas, não pelo fato de não conhecer, e sim pelo fato de não existir na época em que eles faziam sucesso e que a música ainda era boa....
@@heloisagal Ainda era boa? Minha querida a musica ainda é maravilhosa, lançaram um album espetacular esse ano.
Larga esse saudosismo por algo que você nem experienciou e aproveite o atual po.
i regret being born late lol
Is never too late
The way Nick tremolos the open D and G strings and hops in and out of notes down the fret board is pretty damn awesome, but I'm not entirely surprised, after all these guys are fucking geniuses. 👏
I saw them in 2002 with The White Stripes in New York City. I was 27 years old. Ya had to be there. Greatest times, man!
2050, anybody?
i think I'll return here forever .
@@vantamboiaxxxx2

Yes , me
You can really hear the influence of the Strokes on bands like Arctic Monkeys and Kings of Leon etc. Their influence is similar to what the Beatles were to bands that followed. They’re like the rock Godfathers of the 2000’s.
Truth! Even Brandon Flowers from the Killers called this first album "flawless". Made them reinvent their whole sound
You can also hear the influence of the Velvet Underground and Television on bands like the Strokes 😄
lol.
and you can hear the velvet underground influence in Julian's voice ... great music transcending decades
Interesting possibility, but perhaps there were other bands in the UK in the same period which were stronger influences on them; I'm thinking of The Libertines specifically... Especially in the song writing...The Strokes don't have the same kind of storytelling structure built into their songs like The Libertines or Arctic Monkeys (which both hold fast to the Beatles-esque, British tradition of lyrically strong storytelling)...While AM, and the Strokes, and The Libertines are all part of a late-90's/early 00's "garage" renaissance of sorts, there just isn't a super strong connection for me between The Strokes and AM outside of some generalized, similar guitar sounds...All great bands though!
This album. oh, maaaaan. What more can you say. Seriously?
My favorite Strokes album. Was obsessed with this album when it came out. 15 years ago? Wow. Great band.
God Julian was so cool. And there aren't any words to describe how cool Nick was
WAS?! jules IS the cool.
The epitome of cool
+John Hughes The Platonic form of Cool.
He's just the actual instant crush itself.
+John Hughes Albert was the coolest back then though, let's be honest here. I mean, dude in posh vintagey clothes with a fro and playing a strat, yeah.
Nicks playing in this song is just phenomenal
the chorus of this specific version of this song breaks my heart in the best way possible
i feel you man, i always listen to this version rather than the studio recorded one, because the tempo is a bit slower and albert's guitar can be heard much better during the chorus
up on a hill is where we begin
this little story a long time ago.....
Stop to pretend.
Stop pretending.
It seems this game is simply never-ending.
Love that bit.

A lil story of over 15 years, time flies away so fast...

I saw them again in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2011

This song makes me feel happy and sad at the same time! It's hard to explain... No, wait! This is The Modern Age... but... wait! Ah, you got it!

Late to this reply but I think it makes his voice more raspy and scratchy

I’ve never heard anyone say “Oh, in the sun sun having fun” and sound like they really are not having fun though. I love it so much.
Yes, but it's in their blood, in spite of that.
I can so relate. 😊😉
So many Strokes songs start out intense then turn into something of pure beauty
Who the fuck dislikes this video?

Thank you for recommending 💖
@ZYNDER CUT Honestly, thanks A LOT!
I loved it!
I love that kind of music and I would love to listen more of "The Impures"
Thanks for recommending 💖
Casablancas sounds just like Lou Reed of The Velvet Underground, who is one of Julian's favorite songwriters. also from nyc
Still one of the best strokes songs. Let’s fucking gooo 2022
They needa release this damn concert on blu ray in 1080p HD I swear it's one of the best concerts they ever gave.
2001,i was 20 and by the 1.listenning,straight felt in love with this sound,now 15 years, thed same ear, the same sound, the same feeling,i love this guys,amazing, and sooooo underrated,but othersides, im glad,if they were maistream, it was boring probably. so, i enjoy it!
This song, this album, this band will never get old. 🖤
I can't get enough of this song.
Julian Casablancas is seriously the shit
My dream will come true! i'm gonna see them in lollapalooza brasil in 2017. Life is good man!
Lenin Vieira Lucy I want to go but they aren't even coming to the United States 😕😭☹️☹️☹️☹️
Meztli Rubio tell me about it. can't ever recall that they ever came to Chicago lately
Anthony Perez lol I know right we'll just have to wait till they do a tour in which they come remotely near us 😕
VAI SER LOCOOOO
I BEG YOU TAKE ME WITH YOU I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE BANDS IM DYING
Them playing it live sounds way better than the album version, that's talent
Rest easy in paradise Matt I miss you so much brother. You introduced me to many great bands but the strokes are by far the hardest to listen to, way to much memories. It's been six years
I am so sorry for you 😢💔❤️🩹
The song which for me started it all...
2006. Hot Arizona Summer. Good times
2:04 God bless this dude
genuinely one of the greatest bands to ever do it. so many imitators and not a single one can match their power
I swear this is one of the best openings in rock history
1:05 I literally played it 20 times I just love him when he says pretendin
When I first heard this song along with the rest of the album, my whole perspective on life changed. Their music sounded familiar but they made me feel something I had never felt before with music. It's because of them that I started playing and writing music in my own band. You guys should come check it out. You won't regret it.

buena historia y publicidad
Muito Bom!
2023 and still my all time favorite song
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Murder the Ghost' is a good song by him.
This has become my favorite song of theirs next to When it Started, the whole thing is just so fucking good, the lyrics, the growl in his vocals on the don’t want you here right now let me go, the ooooooo, and that fucking chorus my god. These boys have attained and will forever have my love.
Is This It was the best album of the 2000s, and will easily be one of the top 10 of the century. Can't imagine where my life would be without this album.
25 at this point in my life. this album just became that much more valuable. life is precious man ,time and music mix so well together :). born in 93' didn't really get into this till 08' barely hitting high school. but I have older sibling's and cousin's in which I know somewhere I heard it as a kid :). shit is gold man the older this gets. I'm glad I got to experience thar music era in some way.
finally, that fucking Grammy is ours.
The strokes are the epitome of the beauty of being lost and confused.
I'm not a smoker but I love the cigarette dangling from his hand. Great song from a great band.
Best strokes tune IMO
If its not on this album it's not the best and this is the best track on the album. Again, my opinion
Austin Nicholson YYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Without a doubt.
Maybe not the best but definitely defines any idea of the strokes anyone should have
The most underrated The Strokes's songs
@Samuel Powell Is This It is gold, we're ok
“Tryna catch your eye” Believe me, Jules, you’ve already caught my eye since eye first laid eyes on you and the strokes
