[ohmygoshiloveapples]

It says 'Stokes' in your description

[C454BL4NC45]

very fun song to play.

[pointmieser]

lost my Strokes albums in the Queensland fluds, listening to this song gave me the biggest shiver down my spine. The Strokes <3

[naomisings123]

The world is in your arms or it at your throat -3

[Darko1393]

Oh Julian, you came and you gave without taking

[MrBackdoorman88]

*she was a street smart girl, but she GOT NO LIFE.

[IFantasticMrFoxI]

@MrBackdoorman88 Could not lie...

[Thursday196]

I started singing the chorus to my friend and she thought I was mad at her..

[1blondie0]

I just love the strokes! ;)

[rebuskater]

My feelings are more important than yours...

[hw12195]

This song is the epitome of perfection!!!!!

\

[thelizardqueen69]

Thanks for the sound quality and volume...this sounds great through my mp3 :D

[coisinhasbanais]

@thelizardqueen69 I'm glad it does :) but if you want the whole abum (and it is worth it) you shoud buy it. Lol jkg, you should download it at isohunt or something.

[thelizardqueen69]

@coisinhasbanais xD well i just got a new mp3 so the music on my last one (which broke) is all lost. so i'm just converting all the music that's not on my computer off of youtube. which is why music videos with good sound quality and that isn't super quiet, is really awesome for me :D

this is my favorite album though, so i probably will buy it eventually just to have it.

[coisinhasbanais]

@thelizardqueen69 I wanna buy it too, I only have bought Is This It and Phrazes For The Young (Casablancas' album). And yeah, getting music off youtube is the best.

[thelizardqueen69]

@coisinhasbanais i can't buy CD's often because I really get no money except like, at christmas. or money that was supposed to be for food. but there's this disc replay place near my house that sells CDs secondhand for like 3-7 dollars.

not sure if that's something that would bother the artists...

[THEHARU671]

@coisinhasbanais HAHAH, U R NUTS!!! THNX BY THE WAY!!!!

[blashphemyFFS]

@thelizardqueen69 this song is from the best album of the strokes, it cost about 10euro and I'd value it at over 30euro, buy it dont leech off of youtube and other sites

[InaneRamblings]

@blashphemyFFS If but I had the 10 euros to spend.

[blashphemyFFS]

@InaneRamblings irrelevant, anyone can make 10 euros even if you're on wellfare. don't try and make it sound like you're on poverty.

[InaneRamblings]

@blashphemyFFS If but I had the 10 euros to spend.

[mrRyanFil]

i've never had goosebumps through a whole song before this one.

[rhcpphreak20]

LOVE THE RIFF.

[RelaxNplay64]

@cummingmonkey hey

[RelaxNplay64]

@akatspada1 hello mate

[cocochanell7]

@SomethingWild9608 really? wow well i don't think its to guitar driven either.

i wish the strokes didn't feel this way about FIOE

[coisinhasbanais]

@cocochanell7 Actually according to the interviews I've seen of Julian, FIOE seems to be his favourite.

[KevintheJuggalo]

The Stokes :D

[cocochanell7]

why do the strokes barely play music live from this album.

this is my fav strokes album :(

[SomethingWild9608]

@cocochanell7 I read an interview in Guitar World where they said something along the lines of "FIOE was very guitar driven and not so much about the songs so we don't like it as much".

I personally don't think this is more guitar driven than their other albums though, and this is my fav too :(

[MrGermantim]

I love 3:06 so much, oh my god I love his voice

[thegovtsucks]

these nigguhs tight

[chcolatteizzle]

i love all the way up to 3:32 then i just kinda...PRESS REPLAYYYYYY

[uundercontroll]

*When he says "there you go"

[tofuubunny]

ohhh nooo, my feelings are more important than yours : )

[huzzelzebub]

@tofuubunny sweeet heart, your feelings are more important, of course.. of course! <3

[coldenvids]

totally one of my faves and one of the strokes' best!

[raven610]

i love this song so much it reminds me of how cartoonnetwork used to be ^^

[alans056]

The chorus is the same as "Mandy" by Barry Manilow, Julian said so himself. Just use your ears.

[lambovsatan225]

@alans056 hahaha it was the first thing that came to my mind

[NeonTiger24]

@alans056 i KNEW it sounded familiar!!!! :D

[bridgetalaine7]

@alans056 that exactly what i was thinking! never knew he said it himself though, thanks for verification of my guesses hahah

[alfredtheawesome]

@alans056 um thats not true

[alans056]

@TheSunkissedSunrise Dude, you can be a Strokes fan AND listen to Manilow...

[MetalliDethSlayThrax]

love this song! but what exactly is it about?

[ConnorEdge]

@MetalliDethSlayThrax

[MetalliDethSlayThrax]

@ConnorEdge yes? lmao

[goeffoff]

who's the dipshit that disliked this?!

[gigi31898]

does anyone see the dislike bar?.... yea me neither.....

[boombox5000]

"You got to take me out At least once a week Either I'm in your arms Or I'm at your feet I know exactly what you're thinking You won't say it now But in your heart it's loud Oh no, my feelings are more important than yours Oh, drop dead, I don't care, I won't worry There you go... " That's so sad but true, which is proof why people shouldn't restrict love to what you feel, it's what you do.

[coisinhasbanais]

@azt1forever No, it is not.

[coisinhasbanais]

@azt1forever It probably is not.

[TearDropCatcher]

"In your heart it's loud: my feelings are more important than yours."

Anyone who's ever loved more than they have been loved should have this tattooed.

[Jamikaze]

I love this song. The album is called "First Impressions of Earth" and when I listen to the guitar I can picture a satellite floating above earth, observing and cataloguing our weird interactions and ways. (Doesn't really fit with the lyrics, but oh well)

[lorenzo152857]

fuck can you guys believe my friend said the strokes always sound the same?!?!?!?

[westonbest]

@coisinhasbanais yes the chorus is ripped off of barry manilow's song, but i like the strokes version more. go listen

[nnprecious13]

MY ex dedicated me this song, so this song can go lick a big one..on his part. BUT THIS SONG IS FUCKING AMAZING <3 x

[TheSuperRMCF1]

Last Night!

[masterchiingchiing]

AHHHHHHHH I love this song.

[Allureist]

I don't see why so many people don't like FIOE, I think it's great.

[Longboarder140]

i like that the strokes are a plain, simple band. but i love it when they move past that simplicity into a fuller sound without losing the compassion.

[KaplanCrack]

the devil disliked this

[mike0nine]

@KaplanCrack Are you kidding? I bet the devil fucking loves this song.

[PARAMOREiFAN]

1 person's an idiot -_-

[rolandg183]

@PARAMOREiFAN so old....

[sofuckableyou]

@rolandg183 so perfect

[pruane2foreversgay]

@PARAMOREiFAN and thats you for being a paramore fan

[kateeee1010]

this has always been one of my favorites by them, but no one else really seems to like it that much.

[coisinhasbanais]

@kateeee1010 Because they are assholes.

[nayeliandjelychanel]

@coisinhasbanais huh?? how are the strokes mean people??

[coisinhasbanais]

@nayeliandjelychanel I said "they are assholes" referring to the people that don't like this song.

[nayeliandjelychanel]

@coisinhasbanais oh. that makes sense...

[Bigabanana]

@nayeliandjelychanel You know, how come he would post a video of the strokes if he didnt like them?

[coisinhasbanais]

@Bigabanana Good point there...

[nayeliandjelychanel]

@Bigabanana i didn't know he was the uploader. it's irrelevant to me.

[victor222444]

@coisinhasbanais because my left nut says it

[coisinhasbanais]

@victor222444 Lol nuff said

[victor222444]

@coisinhasbanais that response is common.thats why i wrote my left nut says it

[Katanaboy2]

@kateeee1010 this is one of their best like top 5

[ExperimentalJuicebox]

@Katanaboy2

You can't really tell what their top 5 are...All of their songs are too awesome

[dgmcl3284]

@kateeee1010 I LOVE IT. Absolutely one of their top 3 songs, I'd say along with Reptilia and You Only Live Once IMO :)

[Scaar81]

@kateeee1010 i don't even have a favorite song... every song is a different kind of best song

[imhereformusic]

oh my gosh. this song hits the g spot

[coldplayandoasis]

good songs but I think the new album is better than first impresions of earth, the new one is if like is this it nad room on fire had a kid with radiohead and MGMT with a little taste of the indie of artctic monkeys and qith the COOL solos of strokes, its just... a masterpiece, but every album of the strokes is good

1 - is this it? 2 (tie) room on fire and Angles 3- FI of Earth anyway they are all maazing

[MrPeguin666]

Why is it that all the strokes songs that aren't hits are the best ones

[Reardenlife1957]

@MrPeguin666 Because all of their songs are good so you show new fans something like Reptilia and when they say "Wow that was awesome!" you say "PSSSH that song sucks compared to this," and you put on Razorblade or Take it or Leave it.

[axefan01]

3Nerdy u are a fuckin moron....This band wouldn't even know who the fuck BM is...That's an insult to one of the greatest bands that has ever walked on this green earth.

[3Nerdy]

@axefan01 woah killer you need to chill. And to say this band doesnt know who BM, is dumb on your part.

[twokindsofhappiness]

So don't forget :

-A B-Side should be out this week

- They'll be on SNL on March, 5th

- "Angles" out on March, 22nd (but depends on the country, check their website)

- The album cover of "Angles" is out, you can check it on their website

- They're playing Coachella, Benicassim, Summer Sonic, ..;

- They're the best band ever

[Iamsuchatool09]

My feelings are more important than yours.

[simanfie]

Not ripped off, or sampled, at all. It's descending whole note triplets, just because some song uses an A chord doesn't mean it's a rip off of any other song, they're just notes.

[GatesxAlexDelarge]

The riff sounds so sad but like, hopeful

[xman21196]

Dear Vevo, Let me start by saying get your corporate ass off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their friggin videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement evry time we include a song we like in ourvideos.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos.If we wanted to listen to music from you wedgo to your damnwebsite.

Topeople whowant greedy corporates gone thumbs up and copy and paste this on Vevoshit

[EpitemyOfMe27]

@xman21196 Get out. This is not even vevo. Even if it was, that still wouldn't be accpetable. I'm ashamed.

[ConfidentPickle]

21 and a half thousand views, no dislikes....well I don't have to give up on the world yet.

[OhMyKillers]

This song is GREAT. I love it :')

[vaughn2sexy4uyo]

I actually just listened to "Oh Mandy" and this song isn't a rip off. The chorus is only similar in the first quarter and it changes to a different melody.

Also, grow up people. Millions of chords have been overused and chord progressions have been subconsciously created many of times. At least in this song, it's one of the more original sounding ones.

[TheJelly1990]

@vaughn2sexy4uyo agreed

[kandiipaint]

this is just nice.

[631139]

This song reminds me of a cheezburger....bump

[3Nerdy]

I love this song- one of my favorites- but the chorus melody is ripped off from Barry Manilow Oh Mandy.

[bobngo10]

@3Nerdy ur pretty gay for listening 2 barry manilow

[3Nerdy]

@bobngo10 Sure

[coisinhasbanais]

@3Nerdy No, it is not.

[3Nerdy]

@coisinhasbanais Yes it is- listen to it yourself its really blatant.

[txmike9i5]

@coisinhasbanais listen to it fool it is. dont get me wrong The Strokes are the sh it and i'll be seeing them at ACL this weekend but it's Oh Mandy haha

[foshotand]

@coisinhasbanais it deff is.. coming from a huge strokes fan

[ralphocop]

@3Nerdy No. Leave the internet forever.

[ConfidentPickle]

@3Nerdy Julian just changes his voice in the same way, the rest of the band sounds different.

[hilaritytank]

@3Nerdy I definitely hear that... In fact, I heard it and googled to see if I wasn't the only one

[3Nerdy]

@hilaritytank Yeah all these viewers must be deaf or something. Im a as big of a strokes fan as the next person in here, but come on you can tell that they are similar without hating the strokes. Stuff like this happens often.

[hilaritytank]

@3Nerdy I think they just don't want to admit that their beloved strokes would rip somebody off... but it happens all the time, like you said. Not a negative thing, I like the strokes, but hard to deny the similarity

[b3nihim3]

@hilaritytank I wouldn't call it a rip off. it's just sampling. almost all artists do it. nothing wrong with it.

[eukfire16]

@3Nerdy I think it was by accident but it's exactly what I thought the first time I heard it.

[arlequinglass]

@3Nerdy no, it ain't :)

[Nickycom19]

@3Nerdy

There's billions of songs, some have to be the same bro. Who gives a fuck if it's the same, doesn't mean it's " ripped off " just similar

[NickRemes]

@3Nerdy Please never compare the strokes to Barry Manilow ever again. ty

[3Nerdy]

@NickRemes Go suck a dick.

[Tabroxfcc]

this reminds me of the person I love

[punk2564]

i will always love this song

[draculasbreakfast]

I bet you'd pick it up & mess around with it :)

[Lu17Lush]

I just love this song! I just love Julian!

[juliancisthebest]

So much love for this song

[shanaya241]

woot.

[shanaya241]

woot.

[AlchyTheAlchem1st]

The melody is insane. A treasure.

[llnicellza11]

[ComeOnDieYoung44]

<3....

[PirateNinjaSistersz]

[DannyLe12345]
