My mother was a musicians who specislised in 19th century folk music. She played pretty much any instrument, but preferred obscure ones like the hammer dulcimer. At the same time she was a product of the 60s. A lot of hippie, disco, blues, and rock to come before and practiced by her. Unfortunately my mother and best friend passed when I was 18 in 2012. When I hear songs like this I always think of her. So many meaningful lyrics in a simple melody with a complex harmony. Songs like this always reminds me of my mother so much, and I hope I never forget who brought me to music in the first place.
For those who are incredibly late to the show like I was last year this band is so worth doing research on. Each album from the first to current is super personal. I respect the band so much more and their growth. It's incredible.

Voice like a warm hug when he sings that slower bit "so long.." great lyrics as always too. This song particularly helps ease my anxiety and I love what the guitars, bass and drums are doing, it kind of shakes me out of my anxiety & depression and gets me moving. And for that I thank you all, even though I realise you won't see this. Ho hum.
That's how it works for me with a Strokes song: listen once: meh... listen twice: i think something is different... listen three times: WAIT WAT listen four times: OMFG CANT STOP
Almost two years since I stumbled upon this video and my life was changed. The song was so amazing, those vocal melodies were awesome and inmensily catchy, the way the guitars interluded and weaved around each other was fantastic, the way the tempo slowed down once that guitar solo hit, the drums just had this bouncy way around them, everything was in perfect unison. It seemed almost orchestral, as though I would never get the song out of my head. Long story short, I found The Strokes.
I am deeply in love with this song. I tried learning this song on the drums my freshman year, when a lot happened that year. I'm now a sophomore and every time I listen to this song alone, I'm flooded with nothing but sad and happy memories at the same time from last year. I can feel so much emotion being evoked by this song alone. Thank you Strokes for this master piece! :)
Julian, you and your band has once again touched my soul with this song. I have to say I felt something stir from deep within my very core INSTANTLY. No easy feat, and nothing I've ever heard has so deeply affected me as this song did as soon as the tune began, and then once again when you began to sing. Legendary doesn't begin to describe your talent, both in writing and singing. The repeat button was invented for this song.
I was interviewed for around 3-5 seconds on the news because people were protesting the gratuitous use of that word while I was walking into the theater. Everyone ended up saying they were going to see The Dark Knight.
Que lindo se siente poder escuchar esta cancion sin que te traiga recuerdos.. mas de un año esperando esto que lindo es volver a escucharla como la primera vez sin recordar a esa persona :)
Love the Billie Holliday vocal influence used on this song. Truly amazing to see modern musicians utilizing an almost forgotten genre which, if it weren't for the Swing and Big Band eras respectively, we may not have progressed musically as we have. Truly admire this band 100%
I'm very open minded when it comes to music, mainly listen to rap. But sometimes I'll come across a song like this and add it onto the playlist. Thank you NBA 2k15 lol
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 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 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, yelling no more So long, my friend and adversary I'll wait for you"
I did listen to The Strokes the first when I was 6 while playing Guitar Hero III (the song called Reptilia). Today, 12 years later, that's my favorite band. Thanks Guitar Hero. You showed me my favorite songs, my favorite band and you're also my favorite game
está canción venía en el nintendo 3ds de mi primo, y cada que nos tomábamos fotos hacíamos un tipo video con esas fotos y poníamos esta canción, eso fue hace unos 7 años y realmente me hace feliz volver a escuchar esta canción que tiene muchísimos sentimientos guardados. ❤️
Estw canción la escuchaba siempre en la pandemia.. cuando me embriagada solo...sin podes salir a la calle ni a trabajar..y amanecía re loco escuchando the strokes

When he sings "dont go that way.. I'll wait for you" it pulls me into a state of melancholy. Dont know why... the delivery and tone i guess but it hits me hard when that chorus hits.lol
This is the band to listen to when I'm tired of the complexities of my massive prog collection. These guys know how to be so minimalist yet so unique and melodic, which is pretty hard to do (for me at least). An amazing song.
been listening this for 2 years, never had a proper look at the lyrics.... it makes me wanna punch the table and mess up my room and kick the tv that "i'll wait for you, will you wait for me too" just fucking kills me...
i was always a fan of the strokes and remember the first time i heard this on pandora....dont remember the date, but i do the place and time.....up in a bucket in madison wisconsin building a three phase riser for a hyvee store being put up.......the first 15 seconds it came on and i figured out it was the strokes i was so happy. i think it was fall of 2011.
It's one of those songs where you think it's just okay at first or don't really care for it, but after listening to it a few times you begin to love it. I don't know what it is.
Видеоклипы
can't wait for next year, so we can say "Everybody's singing the same song for ten years"
Holy shit! I was literally just thinking the EXACT SAME THING when i read your comment 🤟🙂🔮

2025 and I’m still here for one of the best songs I’ve heard to this day.
There's so much inspiration behind every word, every note. The Strokes often make me cry with joy.
This song makes me cry sometimes bc of how good it is
Same
It is full of life !
This was the last song I heard whilst being with my grandad in his cancer hospice before he passed. I miss him every day...
+jonesylaa187 So sorry to hear.
Man I'm sorry for the loss of your granddad. But boy what a song to remember him by! If this song reminds you of him, then he must've been a fun dude!
♡🙁
Love ya. Be strong and know he's always with you
That's how it works for me with a Strokes song:
listen once: meh...
listen twice: i think something is different...
listen three times: WAIT WAT
listen four times: OMFG CANT STOP
first song i ever heard by them...fell in love within the first 10 seconds
you may be cool but you'll never be as cool as the strokes
i had a stroke am i cool too?
Melissa S never
If I was born rich with a trust fund maybe I could afford to try and be cool too...
Todd Rocket you’d still fail though
Rick Deckard awwww teach me how!!!!
Fuckin' takes me back man. Why the fuck do I feel so old lately, it's depressing the shit out of me, I'm young!
pues ahora sí supongo
How do you feel now?

My ex Loved this song, I miss the way she would sing and dance to this song while she got ready to go out. Cutest Thing Ever.....
So Long My Friend
sorry guy
I read that as "I miss the way she would sing and dance to this song while she got ready to cut." I just got an emo vibe from it.
:(
rexgerman20 she's dead buddy
even better
You can always tell which Strokes album your listening to by how hard it is to understand Julian. :) Love it.

I once found a magazine on the street while I was out bar hopping. Attatched on the cover was the vinyl single. That was such a joyful moment!
nothing brought me here, I just really like the strokes 😍😍😍

"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
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, yelling no more
So long, my friend and adversary

Love this tune. Makes me nostalgic yet it still feels like a new Strokes song to me, although it's been years since it was released. Time flies.

Hi there can u look up this indie alt rock song I recommend it ( faceless humming by The Impures)
--------.---
been my favorite strokes song since forever
same bestie
@we live in a society i am genuinely convinced you actually live in my walls. i am afraid of u.
No words, so good. Amazing guitar. Brilliant.
When he sings "dont go that way.. I'll wait for you" it pulls me into a state of melancholy. Dont know why... the delivery and tone i guess but it hits me hard when that chorus hits.lol

I'd forgotten how happy this song makes me, brings back so many memories (:
been listening this for 2 years, never had a proper look at the lyrics.... it makes me wanna punch the table and mess up my room and kick the tv
that "i'll wait for you, will you wait for me too" just fucking kills me...
same :)
Remember listening to this when it was first released, was stressing about college and this just made everything ok for a night.
It’s 2019 and I still think this is better than most songs out! ❤️
i was always a fan of the strokes and remember the first time i heard this on pandora....dont remember the date, but i do the place and time.....up in a bucket in madison wisconsin building a three phase riser for a hyvee store being put up.......the first 15 seconds it came on and i figured out it was the strokes i was so happy. i think it was fall of 2011.
hyvee? man i miss those places. hope you are doing well.
"I will wait for you, will you wait for me too?"
I love this song
Randomly I was strolling through the comments list and read this, Ha you honestly have a good taste in music!
Gotta be my favorite song by them. They have a lot of great jams, this one's just different.
They never change the rhythm of their song . Thumbs up to them :) Long Live The Strokes
It's one of those songs where you think it's just okay at first or don't really care for it, but after listening to it a few times you begin to love it. I don't know what it is.
This is true
The more you listen, the more you uncover
I remember seeing to the strokes in Hartford CT, 2001 crazy how 20 years later ppl are just finding out about them
This song is a fucking masterpiece
agreedddde! the solo part ❤️💙💓💚💘🧡💖
This joint 🔥 I love see them play at hard rock hotel in Tampa
He has the cutest happiest voice ever
The chorus for some reason make me goosebump and emotional
More than a year now, I am still HEAD OVER HEELS over this song! Long live Ze Strokes!!
Al escuchar la voz de Julián siento que está gritando con todas sus fuerzas por dentro como si estuviera muriendose
this is one of my favorite songs by them
This song changed my life. Thank you Strokes!
FINALLY!!!!!!!! I HAVENT HEARD FROM THEM IN FOREVER!!!!

0:00 to 3:59
But we're different people.

Clicked on this song on accident so now I have to listen to the whole thing
"don't go that way I'll wait for you"
