Lyrics: Unchain me It's not my midnight yet Act like a fox but think like a sheep Wall Street Unchain me 'Cause this is my bank's advice We're gonna give it back to you Some other day Take off from the runway Thinking of a sad day Racing down the highway Looking at me sideways What side you standing on?

I notice Julian mentions two things alot in his lyrics, waiting and being sad. These are very clear in his psyche. Waiting for something that you know may never happen is linked to depression. Me too, Julian, me too.
You guys will never see this, but I take a lot of inspiration from your work and wanted to try to voice my appreciation. For 15+ years you 5 have given me more reason to work through life's shitty parts than anything else. I want to be as good as Jules at songwriting, as good as Nick and Albert at guitar, almost as good as Nik at Bass and Fab at drums but honestly it seems unattainable, you guys are legends. I won't ever stop, though. You guys won't either.
The Strokes is one of the best band ever exists. They always come with something new that we've never heard before. Sometimes like oldies 50s 60s kind of music mixed with modern disco/funk/pop feels. Lots of love ♥️
the strokes is the band that won my admiration forever ! when i was going through a real hard part of my life i found meaning in their songs , will be forever grateful ♡
Love 1:10 when he cuts loose on the vocal. I know there’s a lot of moaners out with regard to his vocal style, but it’s there since day one. It’s has range and variants all of it’s own and let’s face it there’s no mistaken who you’re listening to.....and beautiful softness to it after the daft punk break. The Strokes sounding exactly the same and yet completely different for over a decade !
yeah. they used to be huge here in the US and now theyre really big in south america. I think its cool that theyre still super popular somewhere considering so many people here have forgotten them. i mean you take a break for 5 years that happens.
No they are still popular in the world, nobody has forgotten them. But they have a special relationship with south america (some of the strokes partly come from south america).
after a long time never heard bout them anymore, and scared how bad their newest album is gonna be after many years, its totally A MASTER PIECE, still the same Strokes i usually heard in my room,
I know this sounds stupid but this is giving me such happy vibes, like a friend is showing off a song they wrote to you and I just love it so much. Great variation so far in this (Album?)
is a EP, maybe maybe they're gonna do a album next year because the make a similar think with is this it, they first Lunch the modern age ep. so yeaah is a possibility
I have truly loved every single song the strokes ever wrote! No lies. I have every album. I’ve been listening to their music for a big portion of my life. I wish they would visit South Africa! Come to Cape Town!
First time i heard this song i was high off edibles with my new friend in his dorm and all i could think is how lucky i was to of met him. he showed me this and other songs. then another day we went to a play together and we blasted this singing. i love that dude and i hope we will continue to be friends
i love how the strokes evolved musically this is their best stuff since ''this is it'' and people hating on it cos its not like their old stuff. What do you expect, for them to keep making the same record for the next 15 years...
I lived in a piece of s*** apartment complex in a college town years back. Tiny. It only had 6 units in it. Anyway, the single guy below me would play this song on the reg. Had a great taste of music, but was a bit crazy otherwise. We stayed up many nights during one winter and talked for hours, just smoking ciggs and vibing to good music. This song will always remind me of him.
Oh man! I just totally had an epiphany! Each song on this EP represent the future, the present, and the past of The Strokes evolution of sound. Drag Queen - Future OBLIVIUS - Present Threat of Joy - Past
i disagree. Oblivius - past (it has the guitar riff repeating in the beginning, distorted vocals, and a guitar solo like most songs in Is This It have) Drag Queen - Present (It had the same sort of style Comedown Machine had) Threat of Joy - (in their next album we'll probably hear more relaxing songs like Threat of Joy)
I came running to the laptop with an urge to reference that part to a Daft Punk song, but I was missing the name. It's the reference is super-obvious =D
didnt realize this wasnt even posted a month ago. its comforting to know that theyre still making great music presently, so used to listening to music from years back
OMG I heard this song years ago somewhere and even though I did not understand a thing, I loved it! I never knew who sang it until now that I speak English and I am a fan of The strokes. I was listening The Strokes and it suddenly appeared and I immediately recognized it! Wow all these years... This is so perfect. 😭😭
Untame me It's not my midnight yet Act like a wolf but think like a sheep (Wall Street) Untame me Cause this is my best advice We're gonna give it back to you, some other day Take off of the runway Thinking of a sad day Racing down the highway Looking at me sideways What side are you standing on? What side you standing on? What side are you standing on? What side you standing on? Untame me, it's time I know the way uptown Unchain me I've waited for the time To get you with your pajamas on Take off from the runway Thinking of a sad day Playing with the new toys Looking at the sad boys What side are you standing on? What side you standing on? What side are you standing on? What side you standing on? And we take what we hide from them And then say: What do you want from me? The way? Way to know Anyway, anyway The change to know I never learned to fly Anytime we change Away, away What side are you standing on? What side you standing on? What side are you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on?
Albert and Nick on guitar compliment each other really well. Then, Julian's vocals pushes their songs to the top. Man I can't wait to see one of their live shows again.
My dream goal is to meet someone who is just as obsessed as I am with this song.
Main reason on why I got a guitar
Hello there. . .
sup
👋
🙌
The thing about discovering The Strokes late, I can listen to all of the old stuff and felt like it was new.
I felt the same way back in 2007 :)
That's me
Same
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome to great music
This might just be the ultimate Strokes song.
Sounds like all of their albums compressed into one mind-blowingly beautiful piece of music.
Speechless.
The EP is called Future Present Past for a reason.
@@ReLoadXxXxX Yeah they really nailed the concept to a T.
Perfectly said. I agree
imo up there with hard to explain
With a hint of what Julian does with the voidz.
Lyrics:
Unchain me
It's not my midnight yet
Act like a fox but think like a sheep
Wall Street
Unchain me
'Cause this is my bank's advice
We're gonna give it back to you
Some other day
Take off from the runway
Thinking of a sad day
Racing down the highway
Looking at me sideways
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
Unchain me
It's time
I know the way uptown
Unchain me
I've waited for the time
Get you with your pajamas on
Take off from the runway
Thinking of a sad day
Playing with his new toys
Looking at the sad boys
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
And we take
What we hide from them
And then say
"What do you want from me?"
Don't wait so long
Way too long
They wait too long
I can't stay awake too long
You never wait for some
Other generation
I'll wait somewhere
Alone, get it in your head
Get out of my way
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh
I notice Julian mentions two things alot in his lyrics, waiting and being sad. These are very clear in his psyche. Waiting for something that you know may never happen is linked to depression. Me too, Julian, me too.
“WHAAHTT SIDEEE YOU STANDIN ONNN?” That gets me in my feels. Like I wanna cry it’s so good.
kira lee I knowwwww
Same I knowwwwww
Mysterion Im watching them in 2 days, but this Corona Virus thing might mess that up 😭
David Dean oh god I hope not, the coronavirus has delayed a lot of things in 2020 to 2021, please don’t touch the strokes tho
Mysterion haha exactly 😤
Julian hitting that high note shakes my soul
It is strange isn't it considering the majority of his songs are sung at a very low octave
"Julian" lol
@@hucz ?
This comment is based
same here
I'm 33, I was in a rock band when I was 15, this is what we were trying to emulate, thank God this exists 🙏
This song is fun to jam
WACHAAAAAA, YOU STANDING ON AUEUAUEAUEAUEUEUAEUAUEUAUEAUEUA
Jajajajajajajajajajajajaja te juro que lo pensé la primera vez y ahora no lo puedo escuchar sin sentir el wacha dame mi ior.
jajajaja SACATE EL CHORRR WACHAA
JAJAJAJA mal. A Julian lo están influenciando (? Hay un video donde lo hacen decir "altas llantas"
ahahahahahahha esa soy yo ahahahaha
En serio? Jajajajajajaja te envidio plenamente
That bridge touched my soul.
E.s.r.edger it's so fucking good
I love how the guitars harmonize with the vocals on that first prechorus. It's amazing. I also love how he sings "Unchain me".
THIS IS LITERALLY HOW I LISTEN TO MUSIC. Loved that highlight
THE VOCALS ARE SO COOL
THAT GUITAR SOLO IS LEGENDARY
You can feel it's aerodynamism 😘
One of the very best Strokes' songs, without a doubt.
You guys will never see this, but I take a lot of inspiration from your work and wanted to try to voice my appreciation. For 15+ years you 5 have given me more reason to work through life's shitty parts than anything else. I want to be as good as Jules at songwriting, as good as Nick and Albert at guitar, almost as good as Nik at Bass and Fab at drums but honestly it seems unattainable, you guys are legends. I won't ever stop, though. You guys won't either.
You're a good dude, Blue
Smiles!
This is beautiful dude!
sound like a whole villain bro
Epic
Better and better and better
Each album building on the structures they push forward with previous albums
This is how it's done
This has actually become one of my favourite songs by The Strokes. The chorus, the solo, the bridge and the outro is pure magic.
This is my favorite song ever
Excellent choice.
What a happy mood I was in when I first heard this song!
The Strokes is one of the best band ever exists. They always come with something new that we've never heard before. Sometimes like oldies 50s 60s kind of music mixed with modern disco/funk/pop feels. Lots of love ♥️
Guitar solo and towards the end is a lyrical and production masterpiece...wow
The guitar riff is so psychedelic... Love it!!
psychedelic, life is such a funny journey
Nick's solo is killer!
what?
+DR. GOKU 2:49
Corrección, solo de guitarra de Albert.
De hecho no José, si es Nick.
instagram.com/p/BGGL29qrmW7/?taken-by=ericyun21
sounds like daft punk's aerodynamic.
The last minute of this song is out of this world!!
I love the whole EP
This song is so good
El riff es tan placentero de escuchar. Pedazo de canción, se las mandaron.
Me encanta esta canción.
Una pregunta y disculpa mi ignorancia
Que significa riff?
@@berrocali7448 una melodia que se repite sobre otras melodias cambiantes
wtf did you just say?
@@FilletDev "The riff is so pleasant to hear. Great song, they nailed it"
Uh what
The strokes age like a fine wine, such a great band
This has to be my favortie song of this EP at the moment.
I don't understand the meaning of the lyrics, but I love this song from Japan❤️
It's about corporate greed.
Its about Bofa
Same
It's against capitalism :D
I think its analyzing the effects of bofadeez and its impact on society
the strokes is the band that won my admiration forever ! when i was going through a real hard part of my life i found meaning in their songs , will be forever grateful ♡
This music makes me so happy!! I feel so warm inside.
happiness is when the strokes finally release new music.
I remember the day when this song came out, it was in the summer and I just fell in love with it instantly.
im really addicted in this song, how i survive without it for so long?
Love 1:10 when he cuts loose on the vocal. I know there’s a lot of moaners out with regard to his vocal style, but it’s there since day one. It’s has range and variants all of it’s own and let’s face it there’s no mistaken who you’re listening to.....and beautiful softness to it after the daft punk break. The Strokes sounding exactly the same and yet completely different for over a decade !
The ending part is great.
Seems that The Strokes have a big community of fans in south America ! (I'm from France)
C'est juste que les brésiliens essaient jamais de parler anglais mais je suis sûre que sinon y a beaucoup de fans d'autres nationalités
yeah. they used to be huge here in the US and now theyre really big in south america. I think its cool that theyre still super popular somewhere considering so many people here have forgotten them. i mean you take a break for 5 years that happens.
+K5 Dead Memories | TheDGL.org yeah in seemed in the 2000s so many bands were inspired by the strokes
No they are still popular in the world, nobody has forgotten them. But they have a special relationship with south america (some of the strokes partly come from south america).
Y'a aussi beaucoup d'espagnols. Je crois qu'ils sont vraiment nombreux, mais j'ai pas dit qu'il n'y avais pas d'autres pays.
HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK NEW STROKES MISIC FUCK
SAME
Pretty much describe the new three songs!
Same here.
I'm legitimately freaking out right now like whaaattt!
I KNOW
3:00 the squeal of the guitar is fire
I’ve loved the Strokes ever since I found this song fall 2018.
most underrated song of all time.
Love the guitar riff in the end (2:48) really reminds me of the solo in aerodynamics from daft punk
after a long time never heard bout them anymore, and scared how bad their newest album is gonna be after many years, its totally A MASTER PIECE, still the same Strokes i usually heard in my room,
this is. one of the greatest songs ever released.
That bass line...n guitar n singing versastyle💖
I can't get enough of this tune!
me either
I know this sounds stupid but this is giving me such happy vibes, like a friend is showing off a song they wrote to you and I just love it so much. Great variation so far in this (Album?)
is a EP, maybe maybe they're gonna do a album next year because the make a similar think with is this it, they first Lunch the modern age ep. so yeaah is a possibility
Fernando Aguilera Gucci
accurate af
yes it does sound stupid
Well said RH
I have truly loved every single song the strokes ever wrote! No lies. I have every album. I’ve been listening to their music for a big portion of my life. I wish they would visit South Africa! Come to Cape Town!
Feels great to see all these different people from around the world love The Strokes!
used to be a huge fan in the early days, heard this one and plane and was hooked again !
One of the most underrated songs I know, this song is so good it’s got everything the Strokes are so good at all compressed into 4:59 of brilliance
Automatically liked it just because it's the strokes. I've been waiting so long
I absolutely love the rhythm and beat to this song
then ur fucking awesome
this song makes me so happy
I wish they would release a 10+ song album following this
xd
"we take what we like from them, and then say 'what do you want from me?" damn
Listening to this while rolling into downtown Minneapolis to head to work is pretty great.
I haven't loved a song this much in an extremely long time, thanks you The Stokes!
This is music you can feel inside your heart, pure emotion and overwhelming happiness...
I wanna dedicate this indie song. >>>>>>>>>> Faceless humming by The Impures
.........;....................'.......................................
緻密なアレンジながらシンプルに聴こえる、ストロークスらしいですね。ジュリアンの唯一無二のボーカルものびのびと羽ばたいています。それにしても良い曲だなぁ。
I love this song. This is The Strokes what I'm talking about. They should make more songs like this.
First time i heard this song i was high off edibles with my new friend in his dorm and all i could think is how lucky i was to of met him. he showed me this and other songs. then another day we went to a play together and we blasted this singing. i love that dude and i hope we will continue to be friends
First time remember I ever played this song, my roomate went out of the room!! 😄😄😄 (She's a bad music tastes person)
You lot still friends?
@@jaysonmcewen4056 Nope, wish I was back in that time though
un genie
i love how the strokes evolved musically this is their best stuff since ''this is it'' and people hating on it cos its not like their old stuff. What do you expect, for them to keep making the same record for the next 15 years...
4:32 onward, chills every time.....
I wanna dedicate this indie song. >>>>>>>>>> Faceless humming by The Impures
.........;....................'.......................................v
i love this song so much
Still waiting them to play it live. This song made it to my top3 of all time from the strokes
ruclips.net/video/MMGkDOSJBjA/видео.html
"We've been frozen but now were back!" THE STROKES ARE COMING OUT WITH A NEW ALBUM!!!!!
Thoughts?
I freaking love the first 13 secs of this song. such a nice tune
The interlude of this song is just a masterpiece
I recommend this indie song. Faceless humming by The Impures
[][][][][][][][\[vvvvvvvvvv][][][][]
4:32 And that was when The Voidz was born
idk why i really like 4:30 so much. It give those like vibes where you're running out on the streets with no care in the world.
Perfect song to listen to driving in the night
Fuck yeah it is.
I lived in a piece of s*** apartment complex in a college town years back. Tiny. It only had 6 units in it. Anyway, the single guy below me would play this song on the reg. Had a great taste of music, but was a bit crazy otherwise. We stayed up many nights during one winter and talked for hours, just smoking ciggs and vibing to good music. This song will always remind me of him.
3:27-4:04 Love this so much. So sweet, sad and angry all at the same time :3
Now this is the strokes I remember from 7 years ago.
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard by any band. Better than their best old stuff even. Amazing.
there is something about it isn't there. very well rounded and full, but still has that unique spark
Oh man! I just totally had an epiphany! Each song on this EP represent the future, the present, and the past of The Strokes evolution of sound.
Drag Queen - Future
OBLIVIUS - Present
Threat of Joy - Past
yeah, I'm guessing this is the present, joy is the past and that weird ass song that starts the ep is the future? Maybe.
If Drag Queen is the future, then the future sucks ass.
i disagree. Oblivius - past (it has the guitar riff repeating in the beginning, distorted vocals, and a guitar solo like most songs in Is This It have)
Drag Queen - Present (It had the same sort of style Comedown Machine had)
Threat of Joy - (in their next album we'll probably hear more relaxing songs like Threat of Joy)
no shit sherlock
You´re fckin right!
The bridge at 3:08 is very Aerodynamical...if you catch my drift.... :D
ayyyyyyyyyy I love daft punk
well,at least im not crazy, its in the song indeed
I came running to the laptop with an urge to reference that part to a Daft Punk song, but I was missing the name. It's the reference is super-obvious =D
i think that was like a tribute to daft punk... you know julian collaborated with them in random acess memories
YES IKR I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
Nice.. this song has brought us together... ❤
that drum beat is immaculate
IM ALREADY OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG
THE STROKES ARE FUCKING BACK
*1:07* Omg why Julian is so perfect? Idk but I love his voice, his fucking face, I want a person as a Julian in mi life ❤
the strokes are the best really the best when i was sad , happy , when i have a problem the strokes are my second famly
Mother of god, that riff is SOLID GOLD !
That part where it was uh, a very loud and high pitched sound that basically destroyed my ears because I was wearing headphones? That part? Oh, okay.
Heavy manic street preachers vibe to it
Le moment a partir de 2:50 est tellement fantastique!
I love this so much 🥰
I am crying! Its so good! My ears singing!
didnt realize this wasnt even posted a month ago. its comforting to know that theyre still making great music presently, so used to listening to music from years back
Another master piece.Thanks you for so much.
Uff really really the best song of the new ep.
I miss you guys.... Come back guys...please...I'm your fan from Malaysia , Pahang.... Keratong 3.. !!!
OMG I heard this song years ago somewhere and even though I did not understand a thing, I loved it! I never knew who sang it until now that I speak English and I am a fan of The strokes.
I was listening The Strokes and it suddenly appeared and I immediately recognized it! Wow all these years...
This is so perfect. 😭😭
These lyrics are probably one of the best out there by The Strokes.
It’s make me cry I’m in love
Untame me
It's not my midnight yet
Act like a wolf but think like a sheep (Wall Street)
Untame me
Cause this is my best advice
We're gonna give it back to you, some other day
Take off of the runway
Thinking of a sad day
Racing down the highway
Looking at me sideways
What side are you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side are you standing on?
What side you standing on?
Untame me, it's time
I know the way uptown
Unchain me
I've waited for the time
To get you with your pajamas on
Take off from the runway
Thinking of a sad day
Playing with the new toys
Looking at the sad boys
What side are you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side are you standing on?
What side you standing on?
And we take what we hide from them
And then say:
What do you want from me?
The way?
Way to know
Anyway, anyway
The change to know
I never learned to fly
Anytime we change
Away, away
What side are you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side are you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
What side you standing on?
davidD4Y unchain*
*Act like a fox but think like a sheep
*And we take what we like from them and then we say what do you want from me
bank's*
davidD4Y wrong
Yeah its clearly not Wolf
2:50 - 3:08 it's my favorite part of the song.
That guitar makes this song addicting af for me :)
e saber que se n fosse o Spotify eu nunca iria ouvir essa música maravilhosa.
mano eu amo mt essa música
e esse solo tnc e.e
bom dmas mano
i think this one is my favorite from the EP
Albert and Nick on guitar compliment each other really well. Then, Julian's vocals pushes their songs to the top. Man I can't wait to see one of their live shows again.
