[greengrlxoxo]

is it just me, or is Jules' voice PARTICULARLY perfect in this??

[iHooDoo]

@greengrlxoxo It IS particularly perfect in this song. I always have the strokes discography on shuffle in my car and whenever it gets to this song it's like in a league of it's own, it's his voice. :D :D

[2455HannerdMusic]

J'adooore The Strokes :) Julian Casablancas a une telle voix incroyable.

[61scd]

*****

Soma is what they would take when

Hard times opened their eyes

Saw pain in a new way

High stakes for a few names

Racing against sunbeams

Losing against fig trees

In your eyes

The savage should have tired some !!!

[rst323]

Brave New World!!!

[Cokecubas96]

When I saw her for the first time...

Heard something in HIS voice??

[mickyfin1]

It's about the drug they took in Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World.

[Cokecubas96]

@mickyfin1 it's a fuckin' great book

[hugoefoda]

i just realised i was singing the whole fucking song wrong

[letsbeamazeing]

Is it bad that your hd version sounds about a 100 times better than the version I have?

[hotkaratedude93]

soma is a drug!!! duh

[yessireser]

my favorite Strokes song of all time.

JULIAN<33

[buangbatu]

what is this song about?

[ObsessiveGirl]

@buangbatu my friend told me that there's a prescription drug or something called "soma" ....

[ecamouse37]

@buangbatu The book, A Brave New World. Soma was a drug they would take when their little "utopia" did not seem so great...

[Kagura134]

I love this song, and the guy's voice is awesome, but they really need like a translator or something cause you can only understand what he says about a third of the time

[xXKameltoexX]

this is from the book brave new world right?

[hk5pinkfloyd]

@xXKameltoexX yes, amazing book.

[hogai95]

i love this music

[AdventShot]

sounds a lot like "their trees" actually but i see where your coming from

[paavi69]

too many ppl concentrating on the grammar, instead of the song :/

[floatingtrains]

I love, love, love his voice! It's so awesome. It's like muffled, but in a good way (:

[Goosemanzadah]

@floatingtrains this song is epic. And the man's voice is pure genius. I'd never stop singing if my voice sounded like his.

[yocorrocontrajeras]

brave new world

[stephenlockard]

the strokes, but more specifically, songs like this, are where it's at. timeless

[gpc]

Why do so many people these days think "lose" is spelled "loose"? When I was growing up I never saw it; today I see it all over the place.

LOOSE is the opposite of tight; to not win is to LOSE.

[KickenItOldSchool]

@gpc I know right

A lot of people also say turrent instead of turret thats just another weird one

[AdventShot]

@gpc yeah well the guy who made the video copy and pasted from a lyrics website and wasn't really paying attention to the spelling of the words

[TorrinTheGreat]

Lyrics are off...

[LivIvyify]

AHEM its losing against fig trees fyi

[Dontbglum234]

Youve probably heard this 100 times but Actually......

"Losing against their dreams" is

"Losing against fig trees." if you dont beleive me you can check their website.

[cacaface302]

@Dontbglum234 no u retard its losing against their dreams!!!!!

[JunWisewar]

@cacaface302 Actually is fig trees. Listen carefully, the *fig* is nearly inaudible. You can only heard faint *tr* that end with clear *ee*.

[YouThirstyOne]

@JunWisewar Actually, It's "Losing Against Facts Dreams."

[imacooldude506]

@Dontbglum234 Haha damn. That was my favorite line.

[KrAaKaMaN]

@Dontbglum234 thanks for noticing, I've been trying to get back into this account for about a year but that "link account" bullcrap didn't let me because i forgot what email i used to link this account

[MrBackdoorman88]

@Dontbglum234 dude do you have ears? and its in YOUR eyes. they prolly put it on their website as a joke, dum-dum. If you listen hard enough, he actually does sing "their dreams." You don't

[khbbsfan1]

@MrBackdoorman88 Actually its losing against factories. watch?v=vuX4Yg2olw4 Its pretty clear in this performance at the 2$ Bill concert.

[shurfshurf]

@MrBackdoorman88 Shhh :D

[warmecanic]

Aldous Huxley
