The layering of the chords and his vocals in the chorus are so nostalgic... first time hearing this song it literally stopped me in my tracks and I was overwhelmed, I almost couldn’t believe they could capture that sound again... such a great song..
doesn’t matter how long it’d been since the last time they released an album, their style is just so unique, his voice and the melody is so perfect, as if nothing had changed at all. i love them so much, my life would’ve been so different without them. all of their songs are my favorite, i literally love each freaking one. i’d feel so empty if they ever stop making music.
The first version makes me want to break out into a dance and do the finger waggle. This version makes me want sit on my bed with my earbuds in and cry. If my life was a coming of age movie both versions would be in it. I could imagine myself riding my bike with my friends, at night on a road lit by streetlights and the moon. I could also imagine running away from home and this song is just playing in the background.
This song... No this band in so many ways brings so emotions about all the right things at the right times to the right people for hopefully the right reasons the right affects and the right effects
Lyrics: They've been sayin', "You're sophisticated" They're complainin', overeducated You are saying all the words I'm dreaming Say it after me Say it after me They will blame us, crucify and shame us We can't help it if we are a problem We are tryin' hard to get your attention I'm climbin' up your wall Climbin' up your wall Don't go there 'cause you'll never return I know you think of me when you think of her But then it don't make sense when you're tryin' hard To do the right thing but without recompense And then you did something wrong and you said it was great And now you don't know how you could ever complain Because you're all confused 'cause you want me to But then you want me to do it the same as you You were waitin' for the elevator You were sayin' all the words I'm dreaming No more askin' questions or excuses Information's here Here and everywhere Don't go there 'cause you'll never return I know you think of me when you think of her But then it don't make sense when you're tryin' hard To do the right thing but without recompense And then you did something wrong and you said it was great And now you don't know how you could ever complain Because you're all confused 'cause you want me to But then you want me to do it the same way as you, and, but I don't, I don't want anything I know it's not, it's not your fault I don't want anyone Always I do, it's not for you Ah Ooh Stockholders Same shit, a different lie I'll get it right sometime Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Hello? Yeah, boy, here we go And a-one, and a-two, and a-three Here we go, friends Hold on, I can't- Maybe that's kooky situation So, let's go back to the old key, old tempo, everything Okay
this song is pure crack i don’t know what else to say it’s the best song i’ve ever heard in my life, the singing to the gutiar and the layering 😩 the strokes has done it once again
"Don't go there 'cause you'll never return I know you think of me when you think of her But then it don't make sense when you're trying hard To do the right thing but without recompense And then you did something wrong and you said it was great And now you don't know how you could ever complain Because you're all confused, 'cause you want me to But then you want me to do it the same as you..."

i don’t know what it is about this song. But it gives me the best vibes ever , like words can’t explain how this song makes me feel. It makes me emotional how happy this song makes me, especially when I think about that someone while listening. But I’ll forever be connected to this song and be the biggest fan
It gives the vibe of, you know you failed and won’t admit to it so you buried it to the back of your head when suddenly someone said something and it uncovered the failure faster then you covered it. Or You wanted to escape the past of everything behind you but you don’t want to let go of what you have now in order to move on to the Necessity’s of going about.
This song gives me untold joy whenever I hear it start, and by the end of it, I am a bawling mess. It is so upbeat, yet so melancholy - especially the guitar on the chorus. It reminds me of sitting in my friend's room at our house at university, when we thought the only stresses in the world were writing essays and deciding which microwave curry to have for dinner... God how I miss those days.
this made me cry honestly... it reminds me of my dad Hes a smoker and he has very bad anger issues it hurts seeing him having to deal with his problems my mom thinks we shouldn't help him she sees him as a bad person and that we shouldn't help him at all its hard having to see him try to be like my dad he tries hard I know he does... I know none of this is his fault... he was neglected as a kid none of this is his fault at all. it just hurts me seeing him go through all of this it hurts me that there's nothing for me to do to help... he gave me and my siblings a very hard time growing up pulling us by the hair making us stay in a room for hours until my mom came home without being able to eat drink water or even use the bathroom, he would hit us a lot too he would hit my younger brother if he started crying. even though Hes done a lot of things to us that doesn't mean he isn't my dad yes, he does many bad things in the past and now Hes trying to make up for it... yes, he still does have bad anger issues and yells a lot but that will never stop me from seeing him as my dad...
The feeling you described is what I like to call Distantion/The Distance Feeling (feel free to rename it if you have a better name). It is this surreal feeling that I get whenever I see anything going somewhere. Whether I see a car driving past my room window, or an airplane soaring above me in the dark of night, I feel this mix of hiraeth (Look it up) and curiosity. It makes me want to get up and run, run far away; anywhere but where I am. It makes me want to see the world. It makes me want to know where they are going and what they will do when they get there. Distantion makes me want to see different cultures, beautiful geography and land features, as well as meeting new people. That last part is especially odd seeing as I am an introvert who has a strong dislike for anything that pertains to socializing, but Distantion is just that strong! Every time I feel it I am almost driven to tears. Seeing a car pass by, an airplane overhead or anything else that is covering some distance compels me to follow. I want to learn what brought that person into my life and the overwhelming string of events that caused our paths to cross. In summary, Distantion is a powerful emotion that comes with the viewing of anything spectacular or worldly. This beautiful feeling is, what I believe, the most life-changing experience anyone can go through. It can change their entire world view simply by watching an old 2009 Honda civic drive past. One last thing to add: Please let me know if you have also experienced this. I am genuinely curious, seeing as I haven't heard much about it.
this song is so 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️ i can’t explain it it living the life you always wanted running away from reality running through the city on skateboards with your fiends 😫
I feel like this song would be really good for a movie, where at the start its just the original song and everyones happier, and at the end its slowed and it shows despair or something. idk i just think thatd be cool
