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.
@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.
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
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
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!

@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.
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.

I had a toxic relationship with a girl for 3 years. We broke up, but despite the bad things she said to me, I still think about her. When this album came out, we broke up a few days later. Before and after, it was my favorite song from the album, especially the part where Julian says, "I'm gonna say, what's on my mind Then I'll walk out Then I’ll feel fine.” This is still my favorite song because it somehow reminds me of a girl with whom I have a lot of bad and many good memories bind us. 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.
....hiii...i wanna let u know about this hidden gem song ( SLEEP BY THE IMPURES ) is a really good underrated as heck tune, check it out :))) ;';'';'cvcvcv
“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!
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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
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.
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
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?
Regi-Queso what I’m wondering is if it was a mistake during the live show and people really liked it so they went back and added it to the studio version. Or if it was always part of the studio version from the beginning.
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!
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.
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.
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
Saw the Strokes in Berlin in February 2020. They played Adults are talking for the first time and it blew me away. The whole concert was great. Shortly after corona came and concerts were no more. When the album finally came out I was immediately hooked on Ode to the meets, to a point where I would autistically listen to that song on repeat. For months. On my way to work and back home... just this song... Corona made the subways empty and the streets eerie. Ode To The Mets was my loyal companion in those weird weird times.
I recently moved out to go to university and I definitely wasn't ready for it. I never liked my town, but the distance from my family was hard. This song was very comforting to me during the bad days, "it's just the story i tell to you" I didn't want to admit how difficult it was for me, "i needed you there, but I didn't know", I always thought i was fine being alone, until i moved to another city where I didn't know anybody. I realised that the reason why I liked being alone was because unconsciously I knew I had people "waiting for me, down on the street", until i met new unknown roads. Could keep going, but I'm gonna end here lol it's just interesting to listen to the song from this perspective, It changes everything
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.
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 💞
This whole album got me through the very beginning of the pandemic. The New abnormal came out when all this bs started. The memories flood back when I hear any song off this album. A bittersweet feeling. Graduating without a graduation, friends I moved on from, waking up everyday feeling like none of what was happening was real. Missed opportunities, Believing the pandemic would only last a couple months. One day this album will be considered a classic.
Gracias The Strokes, por darnos este momento tan grande de felicidad en tiempos difíciles y por hacernos creer que aún existe la música buena, en medio de tanta mierda de moda. Pinché rolotaaa. A huevooooo!!!
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. So congratulations.

Its because it was written just for you...
it's an old reference !

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.
They made this because they love us and we need it.

SAME
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.
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.
That bridge on 3:58 just sends me places every time I hear it, and the outro afterwards is one of the most powerful album endings I've heard.
It's like a rock opera it's like The Who tommy I swear im The biggest Music fan here 🎸
its amazing melody
when you really hear it you really do go places
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
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
"Drums, please, Fab?" so brilliant for this to be the official version.
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

What a great season, enjoyed every minute of it. Let's go Mets!
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
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.
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
they are literally the most beautiful thing thats happening in the whole world right now.
The ending brings tears to my eyes literally my favorite part of all music such a beautiful song
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.
I'm witchu fam.

Even when they themselves doesn't like angles or cdm very much i absolutely agree

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! ♥️
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.
Percussive instrumentation if you would, fabrication
Rhythmic strikes, I plead of thee Fabio
The click has always been within you, Fab.
strumentazione percussiva per favore fabrizio.
puxa na batera fabinho
@@wallyiverson4878 brilliant😅
April 10th, 2020. The world is in a shitty place, but the strokes have the cure
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’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
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.
Julian's voice is everything. Too much. My favorite from the new album.
cxmplexes it’s soooo good !
No se como me pude olvidar de la existencia de este temón. Tantos meses sin escucharla.
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
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.
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
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?
Oh, Lord, this is probably the most beautiful song I've ever listened to
It is
My brother introduced me to The Strokes some 4-5 years ago , it's now I can feel this music . . . .
Life is so weird . . . .
This is the song "Is This It" but almost 20 years later, love it
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...
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
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...”
I wish I could say “Drums please, Fab” then out of nowhere he shows up with the drum kit and a beat.

Then you should get the device from Bad Decision's music video.
Tss tss tss Tss
Wan Izmin it got recalled for quality issues

"innocent eyes, innocent heart" I can't believe how even so baritone it is so smooth the tone he gets
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
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?
It was always there, they played the song live and that part was always there
Regi-Queso what I’m wondering is if it was a mistake during the live show and people really liked it so they went back and added it to the studio version. Or if it was always part of the studio version from the beginning.
to sound edgy, but it’s a cool edgy, to show they don’t care if the stuff they put out is “perfectly” balanced. which makes their stuff more geniune
Oh, I think it was always part of the song from the beginning
The record was mastered before the performance.
Crying under this in a loop 😭
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
no mames acabo de ver ese video hace poco jajajaja y es justo lo que iba a escribir
Buena martinoli
martinoli jajajaja
DRUMS PLEASE FAB.. BOA PORRA, THE STROKES💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
SIM PORRAAAA
🤣
DRUMS FAAAAAB, brabo d+
"I needed you there, but I didn't know."
I didn't wanted to cry while hearing Jules screaming that
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?
I wish i could hear this for the first time all over again
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.
Favorite song on this album
Es justo como dice en la portada del album PARA MORIR
The best song of the album, what a masterpiece! It makes me wanna cry...
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
Seen them live for first time ever in Cala Mijas 2023 a forever tattoo on my mind..Epic
New Favorite Strokes song.. they’re back, boys. Sweet melancholic melodies that somehow give life. ❤️
I've known this band for some years but never gave them a chance, jeez what I've been missing, I'm hooked now.
I hope the Strokes keep making new music, but goddamn this would be a great song to end a legacy on.
2001: Salvadores del rock
2020: Salvadores de la cuarentena
Más bien salvadores en la cuarentena xd
I can’t believe they added “Drums please Fab to the studio version” this is exactly why The Strokes are my favourite band.
Damn the intro at 0:27 it sounds just like the heaven. Im in love with this
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
Me encantó la canción por su ritmo, letra y el "Drums please Fab". Son mi banda favorita!😆 Gracias salvadores del rock!💪
Saw the Strokes in Berlin in February 2020. They played Adults are talking for the first time and it blew me away. The whole concert was great. Shortly after corona came and concerts were no more. When the album finally came out I was immediately hooked on Ode to the meets, to a point where I would autistically listen to that song on repeat. For months. On my way to work and back home... just this song... Corona made the subways empty and the streets eerie. Ode To The Mets was my loyal companion in those weird weird times.
@4:20 is it. thats the sound. its rare but its the feeling you get, the goosebumps, the emotions all at once. thats the feeling
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 ♡
I recently moved out to go to university and I definitely wasn't ready for it. I never liked my town, but the distance from my family was hard. This song was very comforting to me during the bad days, "it's just the story i tell to you" I didn't want to admit how difficult it was for me, "i needed you there, but I didn't know", I always thought i was fine being alone, until i moved to another city where I didn't know anybody. I realised that the reason why I liked being alone was because unconsciously I knew I had people "waiting for me, down on the street", until i met new unknown roads. Could keep going, but I'm gonna end here lol it's just interesting to listen to the song from this perspective, It changes everything
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..
1:42 "drumbs please , fab" The strokes esta de vuelta
A q se refiere ? Es como una referencia a Axel Turner ?
that last part is genuinely one the best moment in music brev.....
I love this song, Julian's voice sounds amazing on this track..
Maximus2318 moi aussi j’adore 😉
This is already on my top 2 all time favorite songs
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 💞
I feel the same way, joyful sadness is the best way to describe strokes songs
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
This whole album got me through the very beginning of the pandemic. The New abnormal came out when all this bs started. The memories flood back when I hear any song off this album. A bittersweet feeling. Graduating without a graduation, friends I moved on from, waking up everyday feeling like none of what was happening was real. Missed opportunities, Believing the pandemic would only last a couple months. One day this album will be considered a classic.
Solo cierra tus ojos y recuerda cada momento bueno y malo por el que has pasado para llegar a este momento, a esta canción.
I would gave everything to hear this song for the first time again
Best album of the year so far.
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
Gracias The Strokes, por darnos este momento tan grande de felicidad en tiempos difíciles y por hacernos creer que aún existe la música buena, en medio de tanta mierda de moda. Pinché rolotaaa. A huevooooo!!!
I don't know why, but this song is like I heard it years ago, and I am hearing it now, feeling the same feeling, that I don't even remember.
