[bobthepurpleostrich]

[The6thSimpson]

is it wrong that I've uncontrollably screamed the word BOSS every time I've seen 1:10 and 1:18 since April?

[ajcasablancas]

:)

[themodernage17]

Well I was sane, standing in the rain, someday, I said someday

Well I got passed, I'll be sitting last, somehow, it's now my fault

Oh it rains sometimes but I stuck in the shots, someday, oh yeah someday

Oh you will be mine, just not all the time, someday, oh see someday

[themodernage17]

Living all the time thats been lost, yeah that's a little thing

Some of those things get all in my way, I wanna be alright

My only thought, you can pretend, I will not be alright

Try to go a little hard tonight, I'm gonna be alright

Is something wrong? I can't tell at all, someday, i said someday Well as I know, darling you will go, someday, oh i see someday, alright

[themodernage17]

Making up for time that was lost, I'm gonna be alright

Checked you out in the middle of the night, yeah , I'm gonna be alright

I’m gonna try(?) this fires hard to relight, I like it, I’m gonna be alright

But if this makes any sense then you know,

I say you're crazy x3

I say- oh shit I am wasting no more time

[theartofgettingthere]

Hey can you please email me this? Please?

[mesinjahit10]

[jizzology]

Dont know why, but i kinda like this version better than the album track. its got that edge to it.

[accadacca666]

Where did you get this copy from? I have more or less everything from the strokes (all albums, singles, EPs, even the Lost Treasures disc featuring many different versions of songs from Is This It), and I've never heard this version before.

[Krizz859]

can i download this somewhere.... I WANT IT!

[HideFromFacebook]

I think I got some of the lyrics figured out: we’re of those things Blindly in the light Someday, Someday Well as that piles I’ll be setting lies Somehow, its now my fault Oh it rains sometimes But I’ll get you the shots Someday, someday You will be mine Just not all the time Someday Someday Livin’ all the time I been lost You actually did okay Some of those things weren’t all in morals I’m gonna be alright

[StupidTeddybear]

I Said Your Crazy, I said Your Crazy.

[kieranc92]

I can't work out if I like this more than the album version. Definitely one of the best songs ever made in my opinion.

[ziashappyfuntime]

@kieranc92 im having the same dilemma hahah. cant tell if im liking it more just because its new to my ears

[PopOnArrival]

Lyrics #3

I said your crazy, you say your crazy

I said your crazy...I said I...oh shit

I 'aint wasting no more time

[HideFromFacebook]

@PopOnArrival There’s something wrong I can’t tell at all Someday, Someday Well as I know Darlin’ here we go Someday someday Making up for time I was lost I’m gonna be alright Shot to you all in the middle of the night I’m gonna be alright I’m gonna pass out, fires not to be in line**? I like it, I’m gonna be alright And If its mixed and its safe for you now I’m say your crazy x4 Oh sh*t! I ain’t wasting no more tiiiiimmeee.

[PopOnArrival]

Lyrics #2 I'm working so I won't have to try so hard I'm gonna be alright Try to call in the middle of the night I'm gonna be alright Theres something wrong I cant tell at all Someday, I said someday Well I don't know, darling you will go Someday, I think someday Making up for time that was lost I'm gonna be alright Shut you out in the middle of the night Yeah, I'm gonna be alright I'm starting fires I can't ignite Oh yeah babe, I'm gonna be alright

[HideFromFacebook]

@PopOnArrival Livin’ all the time I been lost

You actually did okay

Some of those things weren’t all in morals

I’m gonna be alright

**mawllah eelclaneepta bootaay- (someone figure this line out?)

Im gonna be alright

Shadows got a little of the night

I’m gonna be alright

[PopOnArrival]

Lyrics: #1 Yeah I go insane, party in the rain Someday, I said someday Well I dive fast, I'll be sailing last Somehow, Is it my fault? Oh we race sometimes, fed you to the sharks Always, always Promises they break before they're made Someday, Oh yeah Someday You will be mine, just not all the time Someday, someday You say you wanna stand by my side Just a little bit Said you think it's all in my head Yeah, I think I'll be alright

[thekillers1stfan]

@PopOnArrival sorry to break it to you but those ain't the lyrics

[HideFromFacebook]

@PopOnArrival we’re of those things

Blindly in the light

Someday, Someday

Well as that piles

I’ll be setting lies

Somehow, its now my fault

Oh it rains sometimes

But I’ll get you the shots

Someday, someday

[TheIRiShCaSaNoVa]

@PopOnArrival i thought the chorus was..

living all the times that iv lost..we left the little things

satans things and all in my way..yeah..im gonna be ok

moral leafs are leaving do tell..im gonna be alrite

shine across a river fall tonight..im gonna be alrite..yeah..

(well thts what i got from it...im prob well off ha)

[thekillers1stfan]

@PopOnArrival "when i was sane standin in the rain, someday i said someday, well all that passed, i'll be second last, somehow it's now my fault, oh it rains sometimes, though i stuck in the shots, someday, oh yea someday, you will be mine, just nt all the time someday, someday You say you wanna stand by my side Just a little bit Said you think it's all in my head Yeah, I think I'll be alright

[o0debs]

julian hasa horrible voice?! oh my is that even a question,!! mad mad people..

[celinapaz1251]

"Oh you will be mine, just not all the time."

<3

[TheJelly1990]

@celinapaz1251 i love that line too :)

[HideFromFacebook]

anyone know the demo lyrics?

[DeadPixel00]

LOVIN' THIS!!!

[colffenstein]

On the original version I used to think it said "my assets are lacking in depth, I will try my best."

But its funny cuz its really Maya says i'm lacking in depth

[MrVDC1996]

even home recording by them sounds good

[56corpses]

The band said that Julian sang about Albert in the demo.. does anyone know where in the song he does?

[D3liriumS]

who the hell is Maya?

[56corpses]

can anyone make out the part about Albert in this demo?

[TeeTownSounds]

That little laugh in the first chorus is cool. Shoulda kept that part.

[DeadPixel00]

I WANNA BUM JULIAN, TOUCH HIS SMOOTH FACE, LICK HIS SEXY MAN-NIPS, AND LET HIM CUM ALL OVER MY BICEPS

[jqw1295]

i almost like the early demo more than the original!

[PopOnArrival]

this is the best version

[fordandcaro]

i made a group for the lyric debate on facebook ;)

[FredsterTwister]

Even for a demo, this is pretty awesome.

[chaurelle]

Julian=Greatest Vocalist Out There <3

[daxon4567]

To anyone who is knocking Julian's voice, just imagine the shit microphone and recording equipment they had, jesus christ, at least they ain't auto-tune addicts ehh, admittedly I would love to know the lyrics to this version, it's catchy as anything.

[MrVDC1996]

0:35 albert's super awesome epic face

[bluefreak327]

I kinda like this version better

but thats my opinion

I love the strokes anyways

[shreadhead96]

for some reason i find these crappy quality demos the best way to hear the strokes....raw and uncut and unedited

[I00I0I00I]

Even though Julian can't actually sing, he gives emotion in his voice. I fucking love that voice and would kill to have it.

[matthewthecoolkid]

OMG! My sister gave me a CD that had this song on it....this was the song that hooked me on The Strokes :)

[Alejastrokes1]

Maybe Maya was his Ex. LOL

[msr824]

Someday is so beautiful. Epitomizes The Strokes. And the official video for Someday perfectly matches the tone of the song and the attitude of The Strokes. Perfection.

This early version reminds me of Fab's story (which I love & adore) about being asleep on the couch and hearing Jules in the bathroom singing, humming, coming up with the basic melody for this song. Someday at it's earliest stages. Brilliant.

[AmazingLarry100]

Despite Juliens.."different" voice, it sounds brilliant due to the great Guitar work.

[Alejastrokes1]

I though someday was one of their best song till i heard this version...

[kaleidoscopeyezz]

can anyone post the lyrics please?

[kaleidoscopeyezz]

can anyone post the lyrics please?

[kaleidoscopeyezz]

can anyone post the lyrics please?

[boredomisnevergood]

someone said he doesn't have vocal range?

are you completely deaf?

ALL of his songs are so completely different in tone, range, diction that you might even wonder if it's the same person singing.

and let's not forget to mention how AMAZING his voice, it just hits your heart. or soul. or something like that.

his voice is amazing. end of story. no arguing necessary, unless you're a tone-deaf cow.

[gillyguy]

Anyone know where this version is from?

[K1DKOLERA]

where can i download that demo?

[bobsharmonica]

@K1DKOLERA I'm not sure you can. I think I have pretty much the only copy... I can email it to you.

[RVBROCKS1]

@bobsharmonica Can you send that to me as well? It's a great song and thanks for putting up on Youtube.

[joemac92]

@bobsharmonica you're cool :P

[s23god]

@bobsharmonica

can you email it to me?? please id really appreciate it

[alespath]

@bobsharmonica can U send me this song? Ican't find it and i'd like to have it

[nge1301]

@bobsharmonica lol. anyone can download this using shit to download mp3 from youtube

[omitrack]

@bobsharmonica can you pleeeeease email this to me too!!

[connorXpierce]

@K1DKOLERA Just go to google and type in youtube to mp3 converter and there are a number of sites that can convert youtube videos into mp3's, you just have to provide the url of the video.

[lennythatwouldnever]

@K1DKOLERA I have the whole demo album...downloaded via isohunt.com :)

[shanaya241]

definitely. when i heard his voice for the first time i thought it was amazing. it was completely new and different. i loved it.

[TheVinesTheMusic]

I love Julinan's voice....

[elvergapeluda]

Maya is a name for a girl dude XD.

That's why he said " Maya sayS I'm lacking in _____ "

[samuray1000000]

WTF mm is the new sound or whi listen that

[ninjainscrubs]

Julian one of the worst vocalists out there? That's a stupid statement in any context. And how can you judge technical ability exactly? Personally I think he's one of the best vocalists out there, in rock at least.

[helltoy6]

Exactly. he has a different knd of singing voice and i love it. I think the singing is the best part of this band

[jans0arctic]

@ninjainscrubs Oh yeaaaah!!!Indeed Indeed Indeed Indeeed x 1000!!

[mortenhen]

@ninjainscrubs There's many ways to judge technical ability. Like jules struggling to hit the higher notes. But I agree, jules got the best voice out there. Not because his technical skills, but because he got the coolest voice out there with his own charm.

[97ros97]

I think julians a great singer....

...he has his own sound which is more than most people can achieve in the music industery!

[k0k0jamb0]

thatnk goodness this version didn't make the cut. love the new lyrics much better

[colffenstein]

@k0k0jamb0 really? I LOVE both versions (one of my favorite song(S) and even wish that this had a nicer quality version (although it adds to it) but I love this version just as much as the final. Just cuz its like an extenstion. and it makes me smile to hear how far it came.

[dveenhof]

this changed alot wow

[Jehenes]

I dont know why...but i like this one more then the one on the album...i mean ofc the one on the album is more profesionally made with the lyrics and all...but this one just seems more fun and personal....or maybe its just because ive heard the one on the album like 10000000000 times and just discoverd this one ;P

[whitebeaner298]

1:26 try to blow a little harder tonight lol

[blackslim09]

it depends on what you call a good singer if you get money for singing

you must be good to someone

[LastCasanovas]

Remember Julian is absolutely wasted while singing this, he is making up all the words as well remember. Whatever the case, he's a great songwriter x

[SanderX0]

Thank you very very much for this demo! I like it !

[vaughnheidern]

I had this demo in MP3... it's better than the CD version.

[cindymaiden]

bueniisimaa ROLAA!

[PhxPride1]

i like the strokes...lol....but i think it terms of technical ability Julian is one of the worst vocalists out there.

[Jambo585]

well dear sir, i tend to disagree, julian's technical ability is fine, he is a great singer! the only thing that's holding him back is his voice, due to alot of smoking and wild days his voice has become rather rough and he is quite a large guy and so yes he does have hard times hitting high notes, understandably . But it's not all about technical ability you know, it's about how the singer sounds and we all know julian has the best fucking voice ever!

[kikigirlnirvana]

fuck you you stupid deaf bitch burn in hell

on,ly a fuckin retard would say that about julian casablancas

[fvertk]

Are you kidding? Do you know how hard it is to master that roughness and do some of the things he does in the chorus here? I've been singing for five years, practicing a lot, and am still trying to do what he can.

[sk8xVida]

apparently you haven't heard much from him. If you listen to some of his songs he actually has a great vocal range covering quite a few octaves. and his normal tune is just so pleasing to listen to.

[bernardobrj]

@PhxPride1

sorry, but I have to disagree

first of all, technique doesn't mean anything. You can express your feelings anyway you want to and it may be good for you.

second, Julian HAS a good technique. It's just different from those boring common metal singers...

[empiricist83]

just try to sing like jules.... its fuckin hard. most people sound ridiculous when they try. he's not freddy mercury, or roy orbison, but he's just as impossible to duplicate, and due to the fact that his style of singing is so unforgiving on the pipes, he sounds like shit sometimes, but usually he nails it :P

[manhattanishappening]

technical ability isn't very important for rock n roll man. never was what its about

[justperez12]

i think that's what makes it beautiful

[Chunderbawz]

Who cares if Julian's vocals are'nt the best you don't have to be fucking Pavarotti to be the singer of a band and besides his voice fits the music so well that it makes him good.

[acheese9]

@PhxPride1 Really? I tihnk his voice is amazing. He can sing sweetly and smoothly, and he can roar at pitches that are known for being hard to hit. He's got an incredible range and can do a lot with his voice.

[doguirooth]

no , he has a nice voice , just sometime he dont use well but soudns very well anyway

[mgaldiwow]

Hes one of the most interesting to listen to, never bores me compared with a lot of technically great singers. To each his own I guess.

[En0ki]

i think in the chorus he says : we will have the time of our lives....

and also i'm sure he uses the name "maya" in the beggining, because he does use that name in the CD version.

[bernardobrj]

he doesn' say "maya" in the cd, he says "my ex"

[misskiedischick]

no, its maya. check the lyrics on their website...its maya

[aaronb01]

he says Maya you dick.

[aaronb01]

of course he says 'Maya' you dick.

[sarakalol]

@bernardobrj its maya in the original one

[theGsun]

he does say "maya" in the CD version, it says it in the lyrics that come with the album

[poopeywater]

@bernardobrj how do you know? =o

[EnokiSkai]

Why the fuck does it say Maya in the official lyrics?

[JulianSomeday]

@EnokiSkai i think he says oh my ex

[EnokiSkai]

Why the fuck does it say MAYA in the official lyrics on their website then?

[zero6917guh]

@EnokiSkai maya was his ex...

[hugoefoda]

@EnokiSkai who the fuck gives a shit man. just shut up listen to this great song and that maya says iam lacking in debt.

[EnokiSkai]

Why does it say MAYA in the official lyrics on their website then ? oh wait did you actually buy the album and read the lyrics? hmm no.

[boomerxxx]

@EnokiSkai Just wanna throw in that the CD doesn't contain any lyrics. Q_Q

[fordandcaro]

@EnokiSkai if u look at the booklet in "is this it' the lyric arent there

[KoLMagrinoM83]

@EnokiSkai yea but it dont have the lyrics on the album.....ok so is it maya or my ex

[TheIRiShCaSaNoVa]

@EnokiSkai i always thought it was my ex says im lacing in depth..guess its maya so my bad to...

anyways..awesome song..the dudes voice seems better live

[aaronb01]

youre right, dont listen to these people.

[ezrocker8]

He says "in many ways"
