I love the lethargy in his voice. You can feel the melancholy, indifference, paranoia, etc. This sound took some getting used to because it was so unexpected after The Strokes' first two albums, but I can honestly say there isn't one Strokes song that I don't absolutely adore.
@queefstorm that's pretty much the motivation behind the song i think.. he is questioning the point of life, and gets the feeling that when you analysis it deeply, it doesn't seem like there's a point at all. hence why he asks if life's just a dream? why give a shit when, as he says, "tomorrow they won't care.."
I've seen and heard lots of bands in my life, but nothing like the Strokes. This song and "killing lies" are so underrated but they're great songs! They are f**ckn genius and musically talented what can I say. The first time I saw the "Last nite" video I knew they were great and I'm a fan since then.
@Manovmilk Are you even a strokes fan?? why dont you just put your input about the band and move on, instead of being a smart ass...Maybe I do or maybe I dont, who gives a shit!. This band is awesome and thats all there is to it. end of story..
awesome song, but the girl with the flower in this video is hilarious, who goes around rubbing a flower on their face, just thought it was funny is all.
the period of earthly life in your greater existence is similar to the 15 minutes of fame you get down here... Everyone gets to share you in a different way... AND BOTH ARE DEAMS
this music should have 15 minutes of duration ):
