The Strokes

The song starts as a country-sounding tempo and voice. But if you’re patient, the tempo picks up into the more “Strokes” sound and Julian breaks out into screams as the guitars follow his path.

The song is about Julian’s aspect on what others think of him (as well as other topics that are all over the place). Julian’s notoriously known to be shy when being interviewed, it’s heard and shown in his voice and facial expressions. One verse explains the people shouldn’t care about what the band wears because he knows people’ll talk.

And I know if you’ve only listened once and judged by the first seconds, I promise, the ending won’t fail to your judgements.
