Lyrics Can the dark side light my way out? Yeah Lay your hand across my face, yeah Time we lost, that's all my fault Please don't be long 'Cause I want you now I don't have love Without you 'round Life is too short But I will live for you How did this fit in your story? Yeah Why'd you let them judge your body? Yeah I'll be waitin' there outside, yeah Please don't be long 'Cause I want your all I don't have fun Without your love Life is too short But I will live for you You're muckin' off But I will live for you, my selfless love Bite my tongue, I wait my turn I waited for a century Waste my breath, no lessons learned I turn and face the enemy I'm not scared, just don't care I'm not listenin', you hear? He's never there, I don't care I can't tell you what and where

[@VERA-po4gl]

I love how the music coordinates perfectly with the shots in the movie; the montage feels natural and I almost forgot it's The Strokes. Just by looking at these images I can see that this is a great movie. Congratulations, this video clip drowned me in feelings that I can't explain.

[@timchou7420]

I felt bad for The strokes for not getting enough attention and make enough money for how good they are. But at the same time I am also glad they are not as famous so when I met a person that listens to them I know they are worth befriending.

[@gabrielventura5128]

bro where did you hear that? they are famous af, plpus their parents are rich, they re way far from misery

[@Llamaking94]

Were you not alive during 2001-2007. They are one of the greats, world famous on all fronts. They just did their job and ran their course

[@alexwelts2553]

Maybe are you thinking Julian's other band the voidz? They are still famous, but but not as mainstream as the strokes.

@@troytombstone2664 sure. the song is one of my favourites off of the new abnormal, i love the guitar arpeggios and julian’s soaring vocals - it almost reminds me a bit of beach house, which is one of my favourite bands. the song means a lot to me. nobody knows is a hard film to talk about - i guess i can say it affected me in a way few films have and left me feeling rather empty after i’d seen it. but i think that’s the sign of a great piece of art. it’s undeniably effective and powerful filmmaking - and the fact that it’s based on a real situation is all the more heartbreaking.

Mate they're not exactly an obscure band they just won a Grammy

[@bruxea6517]

@@MB-wk4sb the tiktok community has a reputation of mainstreaming music that results in the said music being used in every single ad, every other movie, played on most FM radio stations and played at every single store (Forever 21, H&M etc). I’m simply acknowledging that I have respected and listened to the Strokes since before every middle schooler / high schooler nowadays who are exposed to this music on social media sights. Stats are sure to say that TikTok exposes bands (old & new) to the younger generation and since companies want products to sell/want more customers, they feature music that the young generation likes. For example, The Strokes did not have more than 40,000 streams on tiktok in 2018 and now, due to exposer on that app, there are more than 2 million streams. The Strokes Spotify stats were at 400,000-900,000 from 2006 up to 2019 and now they’re at 8 million. All I’m implying is that I was here before their music is played in elevators, throughout malls, in chipotle, in restrooms, cafes, Starbucks and in department stores for all I know. It’s not that deep but I felt like I needed to explain what I meant!
