"Beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field , I will be meeting you there" is a quote from his fav poet, Rumi.

[@DisciplineFPS]

When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense.

[@cormachayes4320]

The song is about the 7 stages of grief…shock, denial, bargaining, guilt, anger, depression, and acceptance. That’s why it’s so long.

[@suju3056]

Really? Where they said that

Pretty sure the song is about his childhood and relationship with his father 😅

Every time I listen to this song its like im listening to it for the first time, ive never experienced anything like that before..I can’t explain it but damn this song hits me

[@johncapodilupo6876]

You get it

[@celsoch]

"Mozart would be proud" comment is refering to the fact that the main chord progression of the song is a sample from Requiem

[@deskrabbit2190]

I love how it sounds like the guitars are crying

[@ogey_elise]

This song is definitely a grower. The stuff Julian does with The Voidz is a bit more experimental than his work with The Strokes, but I've found myself appreciating it given some time.

[@painexotic3757]

Grower? I loved it my first time listening and still love it after listening to it over 100 times now lol

[@jackchen1717]

I thought it was crap when it came out, and heard it over the years and still thought it sucked until someday it popped onto my recommendations during the beginning of the pandemic. From that time on, I finally “got” the song and now have been replaying the past year

Eloise!

[@_Nagarjunshet]

you need to watch the music video to get the actual meaning of the song .its basically a requiem to his father and how everyone is going with their lives and julian is the only one left out , the only one without plans for his future . Everyone is battling addictions and problems and julian is just pretty much fed up of everything . You'll get the actual essence of the song from the music video

[@Fefnefef]

The video is definitely hand in hand with music

[@maryli2049]

Yes, and the video version is different and better 💚🔥

[@retrobro23]

You mentioning how this song is a requiem reminded me that the first few moments of the song actually samples Beethoven's "Requiem"... It's amazing how music works.

Without a doubt this truly is the best song of all time.

What Julian did for this song was pretty cool bc he's is such a respected musician so now he can basicly do what ever he wants and a lot of people will like his stuff and they will listen to it so thats why he doesn't stuff like this bc he has the strokes which is an amazing band but the voids are his way of being able to start over and do what ever he wants and can be the most experimental he can and doesn't have to be in the genre of the strokes...

[@wassemsas130]

I always say that with my friends “Julian with the voidz is more free than the strokes”

[@hannakyla]

my first reaction was similar to yours - concerned look on my face but still trying to bop to it. after listening and putting it away for a bit i found that some parts stayed with me so i took a few more listens and now i'm totally in love and moved by this piece

[@stak_noninternet4591]

i guess that's the way most people get hooked to this song. it was the way i did. It is so big and leyered one can only get a part to enjoy. then one goes growing the taste arround that bit, and then one is capable to apreciate the whole piece. It really is an amazing song.

[@jg6551]

1st listen - what the fuck is this nonsense 2nd listen - song kinda feels comfortable 3rd - this is a powerhouse of a song. fucking S+ tier track the more i listen to it the more enjoyment i find from it, and ive probably listened to it 20 times

Check out Julian's other band The Strokes

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Oh the guy from the strokes.

[@imsaranicetomeetyou1045]

his other band hah

[@billysmith3513]

This song is super cool I think. Very unique sound to it and it’s long but atleast to me never feels dragged out. It samples Mozart’s requiem which is brilliant and even has an epic guitar solo. Even if you don’t like the song I think you have to respect it’s creativity

I figured it out at the end, I forgot his name, but he's the guy from The Strokes (who I have heard of). This was certainly different:)

[@angelobastos3750]

You can also hear the solo works he has. But yes this song is just a true masterpiece. It really takes time to "chew" it but my god... every time i hear i love it even more

[@danielsinnott2343]

I love this song so much and it's such a grower. Once it hits, you can't get that melody out of your head and the cadence. The Voidz 2nd album is really great (Virtue). Check it out in your own time if you want a fun varied listening experience. Great reaction. Subbed.

[@fckenunreal]

When my best friend first showed me this song, I listened to it on repeat for about 9 days straight 🥲 I couldn't believe I had lived life without knowing a song that simultaneously causes and cures my anxiety and depression ♥️💔♥️

Listen to Ode to the Mets by The Strokes, it has the same vibe but it’s way shorter than this

That album is garbage. Listen to the rest of the TYRANNY album ...miles above the dad rock album that was TNA. -Father Electricity , - Crunch Punch(references to Carl Jung), - Johan Von Bronx (Ayn Ryand references) Human Sadness is sepcial because it references RUMI.

[@aprilyg76]

This is a heavy song to start with if you don't know who Julian Casablancas is. I would listen to The Strokes first before The Voidz, just for context. Julian is an enigma.

[@aprilyg76]

This song was made after his Dad died BTW.

[@fdm01]

I remember listening to this on repeat when it first came out. No one knew what I was talking about when I would refer to it, but that was fine it was my secret. However, now I find more and more people are enjoying it for the first time and that's awesome. 👍👍 I'm jealous of them tho 🤣

[@releaseme2982]

this is definitely one of the best songs Julian has ever written and also one of the most conplex. it might take a few listens to fully fathom the true beauty of it, but trust me, after 2 or 3 listens you will really start to understand the art behind it.

[@Voidzlover]

I also remember the first few times I listen to it, it was kind of disturbing. One of my favorite songs now. So many emotions and feelings, I think that is the point of this piece, to connect with those painful/dark parts of life. It is kind of therapeutic, imo

[@paulic.5602]

I like a lot the glitchy sound

I didn’t like it the first few listens but now I love it so it’s definitely a grower

[@_cloudface_]

Been a fan of this song for a long time and it's weird but you actually kinda forget how good the bass lines and guitar solo are...almost. ..I mostly remember it being Julian articulating the existential crises many "young men" suffer as they stumble through adulthood

I was in a really deep and lonely place when I heard this and it helped me heal, I’ll forever feel nostalgic listening to this song, but besides being so hurt this will forever be one of my favorite songs. Love Julian, his music truly saved me.

it says “fuck depression”

[@TryingYourLvck]

After jamming Animal Collective, this wasn't too insane, I love everything Julian touches, this song was an instant YES for me. I really love the demo version of it too.

[@thatoneguyagain2252]

This was totally new to me, and I'm probably just as confused as you. It strikes me (at about halfway through) as something I might really love after fifteen or twenty listens - but it equally strikes me that I probably won't give it fifteen or twenty tries to convince me to love it. But I maybe might - it's starting to grow on me. I tend to LIKE the discordant and confusing, as that is the flavor of life itself. I also suspect that this would be much better at volume far greater than my headphones can provide, because I know I'm missing lots of sonic detail. But do I WANT to hear all that detail? I don't know. I just don't know. Don't know. Probably I should hear it again. Whatever, I doubt that "Bohemian Rhapsody" has anything to worry about. But who knows? I've been wrong before. Frequently.

Not in mean way but I’m surprised you didn’t understand the meaning of the song until he said “fuck depression” considering the song is called human sadness. I see the whole song as a sort of back and forth with sorrow because in reality that’s what it’s like. Some days you’re just lazy and don’t want to move, some days you’re fine, some days are dramatic and intense and it feels like some sort of beautiful tragedy.

[@cocoant78]

I JUST heard this for the first time about 2mths ago. I have NO idea how it took me so long to hear...I was in isolation for awhile. Anyhoo, an absolutely beautiful song...even w/o knowing the lyrics. Makes me wanna cry. I was just saying that I think its up there...on the level of RUSH, Led Zeppelin, Queen. I'm worried they may have sold their souls. My life has radically changed since 2020...alcoholism, death of family members that should still be here...young deaths. And the torment I go thru on a daily basis as far as accepting Christ as my savior...HE is, but so hard to not LIKE the things in this life that causes eternal damnation...or HATE the things in this life that make us want to cut it short. Just a beautiful song.

[@Lightmane]

Love the originality and insanity of music like this. A+ for creativity and originality, for sure. If you'd like to hear something even more bizarre than this, try 'Beaubourg' by Vangelis. Side 1 of the album is called Beaubourg Part 1. Length 18:09. Side 2 is called Beaubourg Part 2. Length 21:05. The entire album is an... 'instrumental'. Let me share with you all what Wikipedia says about it, as I find it most interesting (by the way, I have quite a few albums by Vangelis, including this one) : ) Wikipedia: It is an avant-garde-experimental album. It is a concept album inspired by the architecture of the homonymous complex area, specifically Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. He visited the area in 1977, and recalls "I was very impressed. I returned to London and I recorded my album Beaubourg quickly, spontaneously. So I 'felt' Beaubourg, but that does not mean that Beaubourg is only this: I can redo Beaubourg in 30 different ways". The recording took him less than a month. Vangelis noted that many people in the beginning had difficulty listening to it, but later appreciated it. He said it can be played in the background. The music on the album was primarily improvised on one or more Yamaha CS-80, and the ring modulator, which transforms simple tones into complex noises, was extensively used. It is entirely synthesizer-based and highly experimental and abstract. It's musically expressive, with dramatic transformations of tonality, with short melodies which suddenly drift into distorted noises. Vangelis creates all of the music by himself. In my freshman year in college, I played it for my roommate. He hated it : ) I love it : )
