Lyrics:
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I'll try, but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right thing but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I'm watching TV, forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
You're right, it's true
#TheStrokes #HardToExplain #Rock #IsThisIt
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
You're right it's true
He says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina
She says, "I'm not like that"
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Oh man, can't you see I'm nervous? So please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I missed the last bus, we'll take the next train
I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain
Thanks!
@@dariovargas9477 thank you!
Thanks for the Lyrics !

Shut up and find some friends
I started listening to them because a girl I liked in middle school had “The Strokes” written on her backpack in sharpie, so naturally I had to research and discover this awesome band. She never was interested in me but I was hooked with this band. Introduced them to my girlfriends there on after. So many memories, good and bad, with their music. I’m about to be 24 but those memories never fade when I put on one of their records.
That girl is angel, mate.
I heard of them and arctic monkeys from a girl I really liked too! She had shirts from both of their concerts and we smoked a lot of weed talking about them😅 good times
So many memories
it goes to show everthing happens for a reason👑👑👑
Buckle up buddy, you will have plenty more memories to experience
The Strokes are that kind of band that people dont like them quickly, but once go through their music, is the most amazing thing. It's hard to explain
Stfu, trying so hard to come up with a clever and witty comment with the song title. Quit trying to copy people and come up with your own.
@@pugsforever5837 ?
I know!!
You're wrong. I liked them quickly!
They are an incredibly easy band to like. Their songs are short and catchy and distinct, completely lacking in pretentiousness. Just straight forward great bangers, one after the other played by good looking guys who dress cool. If I had to come up with some bands who were great but hard to get into at first the Strokes would be about as far away from making that list as possible. What part of their sound, or image do you think turns people off at first?
I literally cannot believe a song this good even exists
same bro
The Best forever
. 😕 HOW OLD ARE YOU
Shutup
Believe it 👍
Shit... I almost forgot to listen to this song today.
Hey mate? U still alive?
Hey are you ok ?
Still rocking?

Is This It is still one of the best rock albums that comes out during the 21st century.
i forgot whats the first one is.... but i know its something new when i see the new one is a zoom in Moretti
Yeah i see fabs face too, what was the old one?
*laughs in remembering the old thumbnail*
The original thumbnail was at around 1:39 I'm pretty sure.
It's hard to explain
Woah. I was 14, just about to start high school when I first bought this album. I'm 34 now and still listening. Vibes.
....another great indie track to vibe 2 is TIME BY THE IMPURES :D
IS great tbh
Time flies :'(
Right around my same age so I was right there with you. Smack in the middle of the millennials, it feels like we got a ton of the great music but also so much shittyness in the world. Hope you’re doing great my fellow class of ‘06 brother.
Wasn't even born yet lmao. I'm a junior in undergrad now.
Ditto
I've never loved a band so much

+Jack Starling it's eh
Love these guys
love (just) this album like no other
I agree pepe
This song gives me such an odd feeling I am not sure if I am happy, sad, nostalgic, calmed, or anything really, it's Hard To Explain
*slow clap*
Bruuuh
Kidagine unplug Fairfield crane street coma no.led do t remember anything but raven the cat..

Happens with most Strokes songs. At least for me
One listen is simply not enough.
true!!!!!!!!!
Yep. Since 2001
One shot is never enough
This is the song I always loop on spotify
IT'S THEH FUCKIN STROKES BRO :.)
The strokes were my favorite band in HS. My group of friends were into their music from the beginning. 20 years have flew by in the blink of an eye and now my kids love em. Passing on good music to the next generation
I'm 17 and so scared of time flying by man
@@mrloxicoz9353 there's literally nothing to be scared of.. live it one day at a time kid.. it's a trip

@@mrloxicoz9353 you get to pay bills and pay taxes to gangsters who call themselves government officials. It's bliss
my brother showed me the strokes when i was 12-13 yrs old. Im 24 now, and man they have such a melancholy and nostalgic feeling when i listen to them… I understand what people meant when they say they are starting to feel old.
I’m a 52 year old mother and I’m disappointed my sons aren’t into The Strokes.
Well, that"s what I call a very good mother... by the way, the same happens to me and my 2 nephews... brazillian greetings ... 🇧🇷
Mundonauta I haven’t given up yet!
I'm 53 and I don't think I've ever heard of them before. I was in a bad motorcycle accident 4 yrs so I'm not really sure.
Well, I wish my mother has the same taste in music as u :(

Nostalgia of something I never lived

I'm leaving my comment here so when someone likes it, I can listen to this masterpiece again.
This is your daily reminder.
You're welcome.
You need no excuse to listen to this absolute banger..have it on repeat.
Good idea.
Here’s a reminder to listen to this song again
This song makes me remind myself of how quickly time goes by, and how all the good times are just memories now.
Jorge B. But dude, the best times are just around the bend!
The fast riffs thats why....
Holy shit.
Same. You said it. :c

My personal favourite song by the Strokes. I'd tell you why but it's hard to explain .
agreed
Anche io
😂
ok
Jolly good show
I used to work oil rigs offshore in Qatar and Libya, I guess 10 years. I missed so many things we had no internet. Just found the strokes a couple of months ago. What a Band!!!!
What is it like to work on oil rigs? Kind of a big question, I guess. Excuse me for that.
@@aeronautisch Was hard because the weather! but I meet the best people. Some time I miss it.
That must be a cool life experience to catch up on a decade of worth of culture you weren’t aware of. Like nostalgia you never had but have at the same time
I work for Centerline Logistics, just started with them. I’m on an ATB tug
No one cares
This song helped me make the decision to move away from home to start a life independent from my family and I'm so happy I did
Hope it’s still going well for you dude
Wow, it actually made me do the exact opposite... i moved back home after 18 years away ☺
Luke Martinez good 4 u bro
Me too sir. Me too. Glad I committed to that decision. The strokes really helped clarify my decision.
I want to leave this place so bad but I'm not brave enough and I dont really have the means to do so. This state feels so dead
Julian Casablancas has been my crush since I was 14.
Mine too ♥️
Since i was 15 😩💙🔥

5.45am. Can't sleep. Wemt for a cigarette and this popped into my head. I love the strokes
thats life!
This song playing while racing through the streets of Los Santos during a sunset is such an unexplainable vibe.
Yessir
It really is, especially since I just got the Itali GTO, takes me back to TDU2, and I swear I've heard this before, honestly I wouldn't be surprised lol.
kult fm is where its at!
This man knows! cruising to the new station and this song plays for the first time every single of my arm hair went up lol such a nice feeling
You owe me a cruise and bullshit sesh
This song makes me feel nostalgic for all the experiences that I've never had and maybe will never have.
ME TOO!!! I couldnt explain it to anyone else but this is exactly how this song makes me feel, its like i associate fake good memories with it.
Same it’s something about that opening guitar part
You perfectly described the strokes for me
I feel the same when i hear someday
The Strokes has such a nostalgic sound.
The whole album is on another level.
Probably the best 3:50 of content on this whole site.
My favourite part of this song:
-The no-nonsense mechanical beat
-The super catchy bassline
-The amazingly textured rhythm guitar
-The hypnotic lead guitar
-The passionately delivered vocals
-The simple-yet-evocative lyrics
-The gorgeous pseudo-lofi production
-The awesome Koyaanisqatsi-esque video
Whoops, I just described the whole damn thing!
learned the whole dictionary reading your comment
Yes Bro
Dude
Get a room 🤣
Art school really paid off for some of us
Hard to Explain is the best song by The Strokes, without a doubt. I can listen to this song every day for the rest of my life.
oi mate are you still listening this music
Ben Moxon yeah you still here?
still here bro?
I’m sorry guys but legend says he’s listening to Cardi B now :(
*sigh*
This song just perfectly captures those awkward teenage years. That struggle trying to figure yourself and your world out.
I don't think we ever really figure it out.

"this place is a zoo". its true aliens run every religion and he is trying to tell us in his videos. just look at all the space references. even the dinosaur in the vid represents the reptilians shapeshifters that control everything
Lonnie Thompson gonna capture that on your electromagnetic turbo insulationator camera?

i lost my shit when i found out this song got added into gta
Same. Just not as hyped because it's not my top Strokes songs. Imagine if they put like Welcome To Japan in that game though.
Syafiq44 i completely agree with you i'd say they needed to add more songs from First Impressions of Earth and Is This It
Best addition they could have made :)
Anyone still there in 2024?
YOO HOLAAA
Always
For sure 😊
We never left
Hard to explain but always here
This brings me an overwhelming feeling of happiness and sadness at the same time
Same here!
Its look like a nostalgy of something i never lived
same
same omg
i guess its hard to explain
Shoutout GTA 5 for putting me on to this band.
Yeah i was into the strokes earlier but the kult fm radio station is amazing, i mean if you pick the good songs from the meh ones. But theres rarely those meh ones. I love it
@Ryan Smith better late than never bruv
I discovered Julian and the strokes through instant crush, making it my favorite song ever
Mine was just on a random rock playlist 3 years ago. Loved them ever since!
My Dad and brother been playing them since I was born. I’m 14.
No matter how many times I've heard this song, I will always get chills.
Me too, for real. How come? It's a classic.
oh ok
i just saw them in concert . and this is the song that was playing when i walked in the giannnnt stadium.... it was the most epic this ever .
Same. Makes me feel like a lot has happened in life and that we’ve all come a long way.
its just hard to explain.

This song makes me feel like im having those really lazy days where im tired and just stare at everything with a nostalgic feeling in the back of my head and the stock footage really helps with that, idk man its like The Strokes put an audio spreading disease in this song that spreads directly from your brain to your chest, so underrated imo
The Strokes always bring nostalgia with their music
I'm there with you enjoyed it with a cigarette and a beer
I don't see it that way

@@wawawalter2887 It's me. I'm the guy who asked.
Fun fact: the pause in between the first chorus was because They left to a party, fucked up and came back to record. Thats why Julian kind of muttered the second part of the song
that is pretty interesting
Plz tell me more !! Love it
Source: Trust me broooo
What do you mean by fucked up
Haha awesome 😆
Am i the only one who hears the influence this had on that new Harry styles song (as it was..?)? Not just the percussion, but if you transpose As it was from A to G the chords are very similar, and, how do i say this, it's a little hard to explain (lol), the dissonance between singer and chord in both help make it feel bittersweet. Hard to Explain immediately came to my mind the first time I heard that harry styles song, just further proof of just how huge the strokes' influence was on post-2001 pop/alternative rock :)
I consider As it Was a strokes song
This is a certified gta classic
Indeed
Yes it is
This is on gta?
@@fumble-bottomjake5346 Yeah on KULT FM
This whole song is on a whole other level man
u said it best brother
Definitely one of my favorites. It was behind and ahead of its time. Somewhere between nostalgia.
I don't see it that way
+Natalia Vargas blink 182 reference?
Cabo yesss!!! the beginning of first date
Something about The Strokes on those first two albums... they were just one of those bands where their sound is like a total gestalt experience. To me personally the sound always embodied that of an intelligent 20-something going through something of an existential crisis and finding him/herself more and more disinterested in everything and drinking heavily to cope.
Sounds like Julian lmfao
primeDecomposition you have fucking nailed it mate. That is it.
That's basically their lead singer in his younger days
That made sense of my 20s
Why because that's you ?
This song makes me want to eat a smal bird
Same
I was like 16 at the time I heard this song, had just gotten into college, started to become alcoholic, started to fuck, started an inmature and passional relationship, started to discover who I really was, started to feel like everything was wrong, dropped out college and everything went down. This song was there all the time, now its been like 7 years and eventhough those were fucked up years I can look at the past and feel happy about everything I went through. Whenever I listen to this song Im automatically transported to those beautiful, intense years of my life. Man this song is beautiful, life is fucking beautiful.
I am going to cry bc this got into gta
yes
boutta reinstall gta just to hear this
Flying car
It's good
QYUR_RYUS what station
Producción: ¿Que quieren que sea vea en su video?
The Strokes: Si.
grande el finito López
This song makes me feel things. All of the things. Favourite song to ever exist.
YES
I swear I have like 10 stroke songs that are my favorite song ever😅😂
aw fuck can they please just come back to make music like this
belleguimaraess I don't think they'll ever be able to top Is This It
we'll see
belleguimaraess I know, I miss this...so many good memories
Nostalgia
Phantom Phoenix Although I do agree...they said the same about a lot of classic albums...another will classic may be in the midst.
When i was a teenager i used to listen to this song for hours and i always imagined that i was playing along with them in a huge concert. This song gets me right in the feels.
This is my personal favorite song of all time. I can think of a ton of artists and bands that I personally prefer to The Strokes. But this song just seems to capture everything I love about music. What can I say, It's hard to explain.
My favorite song ever!
Shut up
yes, I love this song but they're not my favourite band. However, I respect them for this indeed
02:58 How can a man be so attractive? Fuck if Fab was a girl I'd have an unimaginable crush on her
Have you heard of this cool indie band called “The Impures” the have this song out “threats”
and there's still people saying that Reptilia is their best song ☠️☠️☠️
N O S T A L G I A
difícil explicar
Sim , pura nostalgia !
If you come from GTA V it's ok bro, me too, we just found good music
Me and my friend were in our avenger gunning civilians down and this started playing and it was amazing
"Chaise Longue" by Wet Leg copies this classic. I like CL, but nothing beats the original.
this song is so senior year of high school for me. my now ex girlfriend, the stress i went through and still go through today, this song captures it in a weird way. it's so hard to explain (no pun intended). life is taking me in such a weird and dark place and i hate it but love it at the same time. i'm scared to see the day where it makes no sense for me to say "well i am too young and they are too old". i'm still super young and have a long way to go but i'm stuck. i hope you, if you're reading this and also feel stuck, find your escape and happiness like i'm trying to.
This... I wish I can favorite a comment.
memento mori
Never been a better time than right now! You might be scared of your own undetermination, just try it, cause you will never be able to call it something else but a try
Erick Vega I’m a senior right now bro and your comment just hit me way too hard :/
Seek the Lord! You willfind meaning and guidance in Him.
Fucking perfect!
This song is so meaningful to not only me, but mankind itself. It explains how we wake up everyday, work, invent new things, travel, explore, fight, have peace, and have a lover in our lives. The drums tell the beginning, the bass comes in and tells more, and then the guitars come in and lastly the singer tells the morale of the song. It may seem to be a little love song to people, but if you listen very closely, and you look at the pictures that go along, it is also showing Human accomplishments, culture, thrills, laughter, and things that we Humans can feel. And what is really amazing, is that we are the only known creatures to have feelings on not only this planet, but the explored universe so far. It is all really..........Hard To Explain.
Fucking nailed it
Logan SJ Those words I said come from a lot of experience of the song, this song is purposely trying to bring back nostalgia to old timers who lived in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I am only 14 3/4, but the reason why I love this song is not just the images or words, but the meaning of the song, as I stated before, it also lists out Human accomplishments and discoveries within the Human accomplishments. I know, this is coming from a kid on a computer who seems like a Sci-Fi nerd, but I am actually an Average Joe explaining the reasoning behind this very song, which is why...it is...Hard To Explain.
Used your paragraph for a school homework all rights reserved hope you don't mind... (If you do mind i'm still using it btw)
Their best song?
Finally, someone that isnt julian in the thumbnail
lmao
Out of all Strokes songs this one makes me feel most nostalgic. I avoid listening to this when my iPod is on shuffle. It's not really a deep song but I don't know, I can never just lightly enjoy it.
Dude I know EXACTLY how you feel. Nostalgic, not sad, Nostalgic. Its so weird, this song just makes me half happy and half sad, and the sadness is because of the nostalgia that is somehow created because of the song...its a powerful song man. I'm right their with you on the feeling of this song...
Chris Bazzini Glad I'm not alone
Shotgun City Sunshine same here
Shotgun City Sunshine right now im feeling sort of messed up with stuff atm and i need to get my life in order but reading this comments and agreeing with all of you about how this song is making yall feel AND listening to the song as well, is messing me up even more and now im scared i might not listen to this song the same again. dude its crazy how powerful music is.
paradise Lol I did not guess at all where your comment was leading up to hahaha
Not joking when I say this is one of the best rock songs ever made. Probably one of the best songs honestly
one of the best alt rock songs for sure, not sure about rock songs or any song idk tho
Completely agree, by the way, The Glow Pt. 2 is my 2nd favorite album to Is This It! love your taste

@@beethovensoupit’s easily the greatest song of all time
Just by hearing that "Was an honest man", this song completely blown my mind. What a masterpiece 🙌 This is my favorite the strokes song!

Son: why is my sisters name rose?
Me: you’r mom likes roses, that’s why.
Son: thx dad.
Me: no problem, “hard to explain- the strokes”
this song makes me feel happy about being single.
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.
Some friends of mine met the lead singer and told him this.
He just said cool, apparently it as really awkward lol. pretty funny.
@@1337dubstepaa
Yeah Julian is so awkward lol
I’m 60 friggin years old and I dig this song! But I’ve loved great music since I can remember.....
i'm sad to the point i wanna cry because i fount the magic of the strokes so late in my life.
I'm sad because some people will never find it
It's Never too late
no puedo creer que crecí escuchando esta canción... siempre que me sentía deprimido o frustrado por la vida... esta canción me hacia sentir bien, realmente es mi canción favorita... gracias por existir The Strokes.
Me paso lo mismo. Cuando fui adolescente y estaba triste escuchaba the strokes, eso me hacía sentir tan bien :)
Album changed my life. Amazing to experience. Appreciate the strokes for creating such transcendent music.
me when I say the right thing but act the wrong way: 🤕
Amazing how artists put together words and sounds that literally reach into your soul and express what’s inside of you. This is one of those extra special songs that somehow make me feel nostalgia, hope, regret, angst, euphoria all at once. Fucking unreal!

Honestly, I can't understand why most people prefer Last Nite to this.
i so agree with you!
Both are brilliant, but I prefer Last Nite, especially when throwing a party. I think most people prefer Last Nite because it is more inviting to swing and to dance. It really brings back the 60s Rock 'n Roll vibe. And maybe Last Nite is somewhat more varying (don't ask me about musical terms LOL). But yeah, I find it great The Strokes have made both songs
Let's be friends please.
It's hard to explain.
This over last nite, any day. Last nite is great too.
2019, the best year of my life, the highschool, my first girlfriend, hang out with friends, my travel to Disney, very good old days that i miss before 2020 :(
The opening line is incredible even though it’s so simple it’s delivered incredibly 0:33

friend : why do you like this song so much ?
me : well ... it's hard to explain
Have you heard of this cool indie band called “The Impures” the have this song out “threats”
these types of guitar intros are awesome. definitely my favorite intro from the album
i had been a rap fan for as long as i can remember, and once i heard the strokes i instantly became a rock fan......good shit strokes, youve changed my opinion on music, and i thank you.
pat duckets HAHAHAHA lmaooooo
Thats weird the same happen to me. I exclusively listened to rap and latin music and very very little rock (growing up where I grew up rock was considered kinda gay) but once I heard the strokes in 2011 its been the complete opposite. Now I almost never listen to rap and instead listen to every other type of music. As dysfunction as this band is I'll always consider them my favorite.
pat duckets same shit here, grew up in Compton and listened to Game and Mr Criminal. My ex-sort of introduced them to me... but i didn't really pay attention to them and didn't get it. Once I heard the lyrics again - shit was deep.Found out the lead singer freestyles his lyrics.. i have way more respect for Rock lyrics than any 2pac or any rap lyrics.
Then i went to Brazil and Mexico..and found out STrokes are a bigger deal over there than in the U.S.
This is dope
pat duckets maybe it’s time to go back to rap lol
Check out atmosphere from Minnesota
Un verdadero himno, poco que decir. Ya perdí la cuenta de cuántas veces me levanté solo a poner esta canción y las otras cuantas que me dormí escuchándola. Además, acabo de enterarme que fue lanzada el mismo día de la muerte de mi madre, así que es aún más especial para mí
😅Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
You're right it's true
He says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember

Oh man, can't you see I'm nervous? So please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean

GTA 5 that is why im here
It's in the game ? Never heard the song in my 2000 hours of em man. I'm surprised by that.

As long as you got here😁 welcome to one of the best bands to ever exist
@@NEOS_FPS 2000 hrs is weak
This is the last song before going to bed and the reason why...well, is hard to explain
Urbanfreak90210 This man clearly did not understand the original pun on the song title.
Soleyiu S ahhhh what a joke mas pelotudo
Soleyiu S Brilliant
You needa see a doctor.
This song always makes me feel different, when i listen to it i picture a lot of good memories in my mind and i go nostalgic for a while, sort of positive and negative song at the same time, it makes me think of how life always goes on no matter what happen to you and all the memories you have collected so far that will never die. It gives me hope for a better tomorrow but it makes wanna cry as well.

2022 I'm sorry I didn't find it sooner
How did I get here? It's hard to explain
This song's guitar riffs are very melancholic, and the rest of it sounds nostalgic.
Os caras são d+
Toca muito!
Show!
Pernambuco-Brasil
This brings me an overwhelming feeling of happiness and sadness at the same time
eae mano
It reminds me of ‘Spanish Bombs’ by The Clash for the same reasons- a slightly melancholic guitar riff played with gusto and tempo that gives the whole song this boost of energy to it…
I love how at first most people don't like The Strokes and then there song become so addictive, it's hard to explain.
I'm 36. I still remember buying this album at Sam Goody.
0:05 oh mickey you're so fine you're so fine you blow my mind hey mickey
LOL I thought the same thing the first time I heard the intro 😋

This is always the first song I play when I introduce people to The Strokes. Its just too good!
Under cover of darkness for me, it’s impossible for people not to love it. This one too ofc🫡
Soma for me but hard to explain is a great song.
I can't describe how much I love the strokes. Like, I also love other bands of the same general style like cage the elephant but the strokes are and always will be my favorite band.
As an autistic person, I hear this as a total win.
I got hyped when I heard this in the new gta update.
I hope the strokes know how much their music has changed so many lives for the better
No one asked
@@pigwithoutasnoutl1744 shut up.
They'll never know how many memories they helped create through their music.
