unlike most other more good-looking, cliche music videos out there, i think this work is truly genius. the images might seem random at first but i think they're all well thought-out of and are all deliberately chosen to convey some deep, obscure message. i mean if you watch this carefully and think about it, you'd get it, it'll be just at the back of yr head, but you just cant quite explain what it is. ties in with the theme of the song perfectly. favorite song from strokes
Just try to explain in your next album. Hes got the brains just let em free. I hate boring songs with useless words... eg songs about, im avin a ball and a party, or i love you / miss you/ i had a hard life/ OR IM ROLLING WITH THE MONEY AND PUSSY. just give good words ya selfish mos
meh i try to get into this album but its too mechanical and the production is too flat for me to get into - the beat is so unrelenting across the whole album, sounds like im listening to a mirage. the tunes are still relly good tho - this: the end especially of this one, last nite, barely legal, is this it, take it or leave it, modern age etc - but just cant listen to this album alot or all at once and someday reminds me too much of a british tv advert
hey guys, if you have some spare time please check out my demo on my channel, some feedback would be great. Sorry to have to advertise like this but it's the only effective way of gettting exposure on youtube. Thanks if you check it out!
So she's famous because she's notorious? Yeah, makes sense. Most mainstream music (since the late 70's) has been nothing but appealing to the masses; whether it be, trends, clothing or just doing what's "in" at the time, similar to being trendy.
Dear uploader, I used to watch your uploaded "Hard to Explain" video so much on my iPhone that I bought the video on iTunes via my iPhone. Then, about a month later (after apple forced me to agree to new terms/conditions in order for me to use their monopolistic service,) I could no longer view the video on my iPhone (that I effing paid for;) nor could I view it here. Does the Strokes employ a team of douchebag lawyers that want to make it impossible for me to watch a strokes music vid
I tryed to get into a school... I love musi, and play guitar... and I KNOW it's what I want to do for the rest of my life.... But my grades weren't good enough so I ended on my 3 school choise... with almost the same people...with the same stuff...
what do I do know? I LISTEN TO THE FUCKING STROKES BITCHES !
This is one of those songs where I sometimes listen to it and laugh out loud at how good it is. The Strokes are one of the only bands who can make me feel true happiness and excitement for life.
last nite everything was simple in the moonlight but someday u ll take me for a fool and ill take it or leave it and we will have two kinds of happiness corny but i was bored :P
@thegamemonster And now you know why pieces of shit like Justin Bieber and anything the Disney Channel has produced sound "perfect". Computers can completely change the way a person sounds. Julian, however, sounds great without "help" :P
'Is This It' changed me so much its weird, I was such a different before I had listened to the album and now I am so happy I discovered it. The 21st century masterpiece in my opinion, beats anything.
