The Strokes - Under Cover of Darkness (Official Video) 

I fucking love this song

My whole life has been an failed attempt to be as cool as Julian Casablancas.

Funny story....I remember when this song fist came out and as a fan of The Strokes I put it on to listen and my wife calls me from the bathroom.... So I'm like it never fails I want to listen to something and she needs something.... So I put the volume up and walk to the bathroom grabbing TP thinking thats what she needs and I knock on the door open it and say here... She looks at me and says " I'm pregnant" and shows me the pregnancy test.... This song always brings me back to that day.

Is there *any* Strokes song that is ''bad?" Naw. Not for me, anyway.

This song tickled my anus and cured my cancer. 10/10 would listen everyday.

Bless that first day I heard The Strokes.

2021: Everybody´s singing the same song for 10 years!!

Escuche esta cancion una sola vez en la radio camino al trabajo hace mas de 6 años, jamas supe su nombre pero me volo la cabeza. Hoy empeze a escuchar mucho de the strokes y me la vengo a cruzar, no lo puedo creer

Dude this still seems to me as one of the "new ones" by The Strokes, and it's almost 10 years old

Dooooon't goooooo thaaaaaat waaaaay.

"Everybody's singing the same song for ten years" And today this song is 10 years old. Thanks, The strokes

Lyrics: Slip back out of whack at your best It's a nightmare So I'm joining the army No house phones, but can I still call? Will you wait for me now? We got the right to live, fight to use it Got everything but you can just choose it I won't just be a puppet on a string Don't go that way I'll wait for you And I'm tired of all your friends Listenin' at your door But I want what's better for you So long, my friend And adversary Oh, but I'll wait for you Get dressed, jump out of bed into a vest Are you okay? I've been all around this town Everybody's singin' the same song for ten years I'll wait for you Will you wait for me too? And they sacrifice their lives And they're lyin' about those odds And they said it a billion times And they'll say it again So long, my adversary and friend Don't go that way I'll wait for you Well, I'm tired of all your friends Knockin' down your door Get up in the morning, yelling no more So long, my friend And adversary Oh, I'll be waitin' for you

Anyone else noticed how at 2:02 he says "I've been all around this town, everybody's been signing the same song for ten years" and then throws his mic stand away just like he did in the video for Last Nite (which was released in 2001, ten years before this video) in the part that says "well I've been in town for just about ten minutes now"....

help me.. i think i'm getting addicted to them.. i need help.

This song makes me cry. It's so beautiful and perfect. it's the combination of the chords and scales used that makes my emotions come pouring out. When the build up to the chorus starts I get an anxious feeling. Then the vocals hit me hard and they bring a lot of sadness to my mind. Melancholy and nostalgia over past events, such as no longer having certain people in my life. It's almost to much to handle. And whats funny is the verse is quiet up beat, which makes it that much more sad. Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" also makes me cry. especially when the solo comes in. Music that Pierces your heart is rare.

I think what really separates the strokes from other indie/garage acts are their creative chord progressions and guitar parts. This is my favourite track of theirs and one of my favourite indie songs ever.

Nothing brought me here, I just like the strokes

I just discovered that Julian is 42 years old. I thought he was like in his mid 20s

I love how the guitarists always look so bored I hope that's on purpose

Dude that guitar solo is A MASTERPIECE! A BUNCH OF FEELINGS

"Everybody singin' the same song for the last ten years..." -- well, if it's THIS song, then I'm cool with that.

The mic stand's only job was to be thrown by Julian.

If this is not playing at my funeral , I'm not dying.

This song is a real masterpiece.

Coolest band on earth. Sorry, everyone knows that but i had to say it.

You can only like this if you *haven't* found this through kpop

doctor: “you have 4 minutes and 25 seconds to live” me:

I want to tell them how much they have literally changed my life with their beautiful, beautiful music. It's so much better with it in. What a gift The Strokes are.

The strokes brought me here not nba2k15

I have a strange condition called stroke fever

Man where does julian get his jackets from??

This is lowkey their best song. Not a second is wasted from the vocals, the instrumental, the melody. Everything is here.

One of the greatest songs ever created, not kidding.

I made a spotify playlist with this song added 50 times and that was it. I then listen to it exclusivly for about a month. Good times.

he finally washed his hair, it looked so fluffy

can never tire of Julian’s voice

Slip back out of whack at your best It's a nightmare So I'm joining the army No house phones, but can I still call? Will you wait for me now? We got the right to live, fight to use it Got everything but you can just choose it I won't just be a puppet on a string Don't go that way I'll wait for you And I'm tired of all your friends Listening at your door I want what's better for you So long, my friend and adversary But I'll wait for you Get dressed, jump out of bed and do it best Are you okay? I've been out around this town Everybody's singing the same song for ten years I'll wait for you Will you wait for me too? And they sacrifice their lives In our land are all closed eyes They've said it a billion times and they'll say it again So long, my adversary and friend I'm tired of all your friends Knocking down your door Get up in the morning, yelling no more So long, my friend and adversary I'll wait for you

Julian's smile at the end. :)

I've heard that first guitar part as a kid once and it followed me ever since. Been looking for this song for 9 years and now finally found it

anyone else cry from the pure energy the sound gives

I’m not here because of jisoo. And I’ve been here for 10 years!

Did anyone notice that in the beginning of the video, is like in the music video of You only live once by the strokes?

been listening to the strokes for 10 years... haven't bored a single song of theirs, no other band can do that.

not sure what the feeling is but this song makes me feel something IMMENSELY

Godbless to the guys who moved all the equipment like amps and drums... props to them

Mic stand: * exists * Julian Casablancas: y e e t

WAIT WAIT I HAVE A THEORY MAYBE THIS TOOK PLACE AFTER THE VIDEO YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE AND THEY MADE THIS IN THE AFTERLIFE AND THIS SONG IS CALLED UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS BECAUSE THAT LIQUID THEY DIED IN WAS DARK AND THE WERE DROWNED IT IN SO GET IT? THEY ARE UNDER THE COVER OF DARKNESS OMG I JUST NOTICED THIS

Eu nunca vou esquecer a primeira vez que ouvi esta pedrada (semana passada) e tô passada que tem 13 anos que foi lançada obrigada aleatório do meu youtube music

"WHAT ABOUT LITTLE FABRIZIO!? HE HASN'T EATEN IN THREE HOURS!"

TODAY IS THE DAY everybody's singing the same song for 10 years

That is one hella bittersweet guitar solo

I tried to convince my band to cover this song just for the sake of trying different genre. Too bad that they are listening to heavy riff bands like Megadeth, Metallica and such. There's no way it may happen. I like The Strokes tho. 😅

I don't know who Jisoo is, but thanks for bringing new listener for The Strokes✌🏻

I just realized this, but when he says "everybody's been singing the same song for 10 years," hes talking about the song last night, and during the video for last night, he flings the microphone stand just like he did when he said that line.

You Only Live Once: "I'll be waiting for you baby" Vision Of Division: "All that I do is wait for you" Under Cover Of Darkness: "I'll wait for you" Julian seems to be waiting a lot! ^^

I just heard of this band a couple minutes ago and I'm currently going through all their albums.

This song never fails to make me happy and nostalgic.

They achieved a unique sound

2k people went THAT way

Il'll wait for you, will you wait for me?

who in the hell is Jisoo, Im just here because I like The Strokes.

This is the best song on nba 2k15

I can't compare this song to anything Whether it be getting through a deployment, working out, waking up, singing it on blast in the car with my girl or even on moments of pure despair this song always fits.

Omg, The Best Band Of our generation. I had the honor of meeting each of them and just saying they are Even Better LIVE. Missing you Jules . ♥️ From Boston

I refuse to believe this song (and album) is nearly 10 years old everybody’s singing the same song for 10 years...

Some of the best guitar riffs I've ever heard.

fab looks like such a distinguished gentleman

I know i wont be cool as Julian Casablancas but i know i can be cool by listening to him

Julian the mic stand slayer

Easily one of the best songs they've ever written. It's just... insanely good

Am I the only one who isn’t a jisoo fan as I’m just a strokes fan

Unbelievable masterpiece...Still melts my heart like first day... Thanks guys...Thank you Nick!

♪ thiiiiiiiis soooooong iiiiiisss greeeeeaaaaat ♪

Slip back out of whack att your best. It's a nightmare, So I'm joining the army. Know how folks back out, I still call. Will you hate for me now? We got the righteous advice to use it Got everything but you can just choose it I won't just be a puppet on a string Don't go that way. I'll wait for you. And I'm tired of all your friends Listening at your door And I won't, I better call you. So long, my friend and adversary. But I will call you. Get dressed, jump out of bed and do it best. Are you OK? I've been out around this town And everybody's been singing the same song ten years. I'll wait for you. Will you wait for me too? And they sacrifice their lives In our land are all closed eyes. I've been saying we're beaten down, I won't say it again. So long, my end. The sorry embrace. Don't go that way. I'll wait for you. I'm tired of all your friends, Knocking down your door. Get up in the morning, give it your all. So long, my friend and adversary. I'll wait for you.

Podrán existir miles de bandas pero únicamente con the strokes nunca podré evitar cerrar los ojos ♥️

Sings "Everybody's singing the same song for ten years ", then proceeds to throw the mic stand like he did in the music video for Last Night, which he sang 10 years before this. He really was tired of that song lol

I fucking love this song

Words cannot express how much I love this song...

This song MADE nba 2k15

After listening to The Strokes and The Arctic Monkeys for 10 hours straight I am perfectly content with life at the moment :) Long live ROCK

cant be the only one who thinks julian looks like an older nat wolff

This Song makes me feel sad and good at the same time ! Masterpeace .

FABRIZIO WHERE ARE YOUR CURLS???

julian casablancas is the sexiest man alive

Julian Casablancas flash back is when he get drowned in coca cola :v

why casablanca is so hot por la chucha

Mientras tomo una birra, fumo mis flores, veo por primera vez el video de esta canción. Es genial. Los siento tan cerca. Estoy viviendo un momento duro en mi vida, una separación después de 6 años. Todo pasa por algo y que esto este pasando ahora es por algo. Gracias the strokes, asi es más facil.

I've been listening to this band every morning when I work out for the past week and I can't seem to get tired of them, now that's rare!

noooooo, pensar que conocí a los Strokes cuando salió esta canción y ese álbum... siempre leí comentarios que decían que Angles era un álbum malo, pero ellos siempre intentaron innovarse y es una de las cosas que me gusta de ellos. [escuchen su álbum 'the new abnormal']

just fucking perfection

Julian is the coolest man in the world

Who tf is jisoo? I'm here because it's The Strokes.

Omg!!!! I've been looking for this song for years :,)

One of my favorite songs for life! The solo guitar is so goals...

When the song came out it played the same time every morning on a video show on TV, I got used to it, became a big fan of the song and The Strokes!!

I mean it's good that people who like other genres are appreciating the strokes discography. Who knows if this can lead to garage rock revival 2

weird how nba2k15 had this song on their soundtrack

It looks like they died. And then went to heaven.

Eternamente agradecido de que esto fuese la música de mi juventud y no peso pluma. Mil gracias
