Julian Casablancas+The Voidz - Nintendo Blood (Official Audio w/ Lyrics)

[@xenon1800]

this sounds so 80’s, yet futuristic at the same time. hard to find the right words to describe it. such a good track and i still get this song stuck in my head constantly.

[@CarEdy23]

tyranny is like if julian was holding all his creativity for years for whatever reason and then he got to release it all at once. and that's what makes the record so cool and different. it's not subtle like julian's other work. its all-out

[@Luckzzz]

CarEdy23 the ankward moment is when you realize Julian didn't do a shit.. Just sang hahahaha While all other members did all the psycodelic shit :D

[@CarEdy23]

Luckzzz you are kidding right? julian writes everything. he composes pretty much all of the music like he did with the first three strokes records and his solo album

[@Luckzzz]

CarEdy23 I've heard of it. But I'm not so sure about everything he does.. =)

[@CarEdy23]

Luckzzz well he has said so himself. and he studied musical composition

[@MarcusMIDI]

CarEdy23 Amen to that :)

[@mrSam3ooo]

amazing album actually, once you've listened to it enough times you kinda start thinking this is one of the greatest collections of songs ever made

[@levifuller1256]

So true, the more I listen to this album the better it gets

[@dachers1238]

"The end of living & the beginning of surviving"... Julian is brilliant.

[@amaurylannes]

Every time I listen to this song, I hear more and more sounds I hadn't heard before.

[@gz4wbz]

That's this whole album in general. There's so many little details that can just fly by if you don't keep an open ear. Definitely makes repeated listens more interesting

[@idIethreat]

They change it each time is why.

[@paulv7744]

Lol. I see Colors that dont Exist 🤣

[@potatoherman9835]

"The moon’s a skull, I think it’s grinning 
The room is full of people now I think it’s spinning” - Human Sadness "The moon is cracked I think it looked at me and grinned
The room is packed I look around and now it spins” - Nintendo Blood

[@sart0davide]

and so?

[@AyazyamMedia]

He has a thing about the moon. Also...he always talks about waiting? Just what is he waiting for, the maintenance guy to fix his microphone? bu-dum-tiss...I'll be here all week folks...

[@AyazyamMedia]

AyazyamMedia Just such a zinger you never stop you just don't stop!

[@soultakersys]

Mmm kind of reminds me the moon in the legend of zelda majoras mask xd

[@AyazyamMedia]

hey ya!

[@ItsYaBoyJah]

5:25 is where I really look forward to whenever I listen to this song

[@alexshadowfax1119]

The ending vocals are so passionate and energetic

[@andreacrippa7220]

In the live version there is an arpeggio at the end and it's fantastic

[@aidenlikesgreninja526]

Usually Julian sounds like someone woke him up seconds before recording, so I suppose so, comparatively speaking

[@krTog1]

Shivers every time

[@anaaguilar7263]

His vocals at the end are always outstanding

[@LauraGomezS]

4:40-5:25 is my absolute favorite part of this amazing song. When man has conquered the earth he will have destroyed himself His appetite will devour the earth and leave behind only a desert The end of living & the beginning of surviving, Our land, our brother we treat like an enemy But "when man has conquered the earth he will have destroyed himself The end of living & the beginning of surviving. Our land is a brother we treat like an enemy, oh oh Cause nothing exists except molecules and empty space, oh oh The moon is cracked I think it looked at me and grinned The room is packed I look around and now it spins Cyborg, I need to sit down, I need to shut up Universe everything's wrong, I think I fucked up...

[@kaimonington]

Laura Gomez Oh shit im only at 3:47, I've got so much to look forward to!

[@kaimonington]

Laura Gomez But at the same time, spoiler alert!

[@aestheticsosa9288]

yeah man such a nice performance of Alvin

[@PowDJoke]

Pure genius. Pure fucking genius... It's just... fuck... pure fucking genius. The more I listen to what Julian Casablancas did and the more I think nobody can't compete what he does. I hope that someday I'll hear another songwriter/artist that would be able to stand right next to Julian Casablancas and don't look silly and empty in comparison, I hope I'll still be alive to hear it !

[@Niilism_]

He is a genius

[@fansypansy]

Been listening to The Strokes since I was 13. I'm 26 now. All I can say is, so much has evolved over the years. Also Julian's side music is goood. :3

[@nataliavargas9299]

Everything Julian does is so rad

[@johanna4263]

Awesome! Listening to them since 15, I'm 33 now, so it's been a great journey w Jules lol.

[@pg9193]

The drums alone are a song of their own. During the verses, it sounds like an interstellar laser battle And at 4:40 when his voice enters those multi-dimensional triplets is breath taking Some powerful music, folks!

[@belizguney2720]

Unappreciated song.

[@jignjorf9076]

More like unappreciated album.

[@BrianDiCaprio]

Josh Walker Maybe cause it just came out and hardly anyone knows about it.

[@jignjorf9076]

Brian DiCaprio It's been out for nearly a month now. Plus both Julian and The Strokes were promoting this album quite a bit.

[@marcosencarnacao9908]

+Josh Walker It's got a lot of recognition

[@SmashingFloyd]

Don't stop, react, attack!

[@rainabaileyyy]

I'm 15, and have only been listening to the strokes for less than a year. it's been so cool to hear everything from "is this it" to "tyranny" in a matter of months. all the eras and years.

[@protectthesun1519]

+raina b. you'r lucky the rest of us waited years inbetween and actually had to buy cd's... those were dark times

[@rainabaileyyy]

+Jessie Garcia haha yeah. at least you got to live through some of the eras, i was one when is this it came out lmao.

[@apoveda9]

raina b. You are crazy man

[@evaaguilar8025]

What a wayverly street sing.

[@bdus5944]

raina b. Congratulations, now you are 17

[@fearlesslegend021]

This is CRAZY!!! i have never loved rock or this genre of music but after listening to the lonely island boombox ft julian casablancas i couldnt help but research his music further and the first song i hear was 11th dimension and now i am HOOKED to every thing julian casablancas!! all his songs are crazy unique and have so much meaning and not to mention how effing cute he is!!

[@eddythepickle8014]

You should definitely check out his fist band the strokes, especially their first album "is this it" and work up through all their albums

[@fearlesslegend021]

i already have! lol yeah their amazing honestly cant believe how talented julian casablancas+the other band members in the strokes and the voids all are!

[@jetboy_]

welcome, andrea, welcome.

[@eenix]

+andrea021 My exact experience.

[@nataliavargas9299]

Congrats on finding the most creative mind in the music industry 😊

[@eezeegeezaa]

Just bought the record and im not disappointed! I love the artwork on the sleeve... very masonic.. I just wish I had enough money to go see the band in London and fulfill a lifetime ambition but it looks highly unlikely as I have to choose between feeding my little one or buying a ticket. Maybe one day I get to see a live set until then the records gonna get worn out in the car. Thanks to Julian and all band members for making my day and getting me through some dark times. All Success and best wishes to your family

[@AyazyamMedia]

Pray in his Mighty Name King Julian will bestow blessings.

[@mariehouston2150]

AyazyamMedia how old are you? I feel like i'm the youngest (14) in being Julian's fan!

[@AyazyamMedia]

I'm 25. lol

[@AyazyamMedia]

Ashley Armstrong But don't feel bad about being young...it's not a big deal.

[@AyazyamMedia]

I didn't get into the strokes until I was like 17 and I definitely wish I would have gotten into them sooner.

[@meechthegreat9136]

tyranny is a sick album, people just don't give it a chance. each song is its own thought, that's how I feel the music flows.. like each song is just one thought being brought to life and played out right out of some pretty rad minds.. cheers gals and bros

[@Blarg]

6 years later and it's still true. this album is pure art

[@PowDJoke]

The best album ever released in the History of music to me. Nobody can fight that, it's beyond genius and human creativity.

[@sparkydeltorro]

Wow! A comment section about a new song from an established artist and no hate. Says a lot.

[@ParanoidThyroid]

I'd say it's because there aren't many newcomers. I'd imagine most here are just die hard Julian fans. It's a shame, because the messages within this record need to be spread far and wide

[@edie6839]

And probably because everyone who took the time to search it on KZbin either loves it or is open minded enough to give it ago lol

[@amorales1069]

4:03 is my favorite part it feels like I'm floating in space

[@thehairysun8897]

This melody has been stuck in my head for days

[@katzthecat5555]

3:50 love the way julian sings

[@BingBongWitch]

fuck julian kills it at the end with those high notes props to this guy

[@bonefew]

1:49 the bass sounds so cool when it did that

[@jg6551]

4:40 i cant even describe that sound in words. i have never heard anything similar to it. what the fuck. i like it though

[@hadriennostrenoff9135]

I just love it when rock stars create experimental/trippy side projects

[@Cycluing]

0:45 man those chorus or whatever sounds so great I wish they put more of that in this song

[@lrutubeusername]

Yes I was waiting for another whoooOOooOOOOooo somewhere at the ending but it never showed up.

[@sophiereboul5150]

This song make me crazy, it's just awesome, I never heard that. I am addict at this sound... Julian, you're just the best... Congratulation you're a musical genius or a god!!! Just thank you for that

[@billyshead1339]

This song was stuck in my head for 2 days. Excellent!

[@ezriqnazhif2299]

this song was stuck in my head for two months lol

[@vlermler6823]

+ezriq nazhif 2 years, bitchesss.

[@KenM_1987]

As of tomorrow this song will have been on youtube for 2 years, so please fuck off.

[@l.8267]

God what a great song and knowing the lyrics makes me appreciate it more.

[@aaronguzmanaj]

Just so happy that i found this band. Spent so much of my youth listening to everything, and i have no regrets of that, but I'm guranteed to hear the unexpected- yet beautiful when it comes to this band.

[@marie-cecilekerachni2251]

Do you know The Strokes?

[@Niilism_]

Conheço os Strokes desde 2001 lembro de last nite tocando na TV e hoje estou aqui escutando Julian novamente.

[@CamRamone]

Julian makes me happy. Yoh.

[@universalvation23]

My favourite album this year, and much more than the auditory cheesecake that most other music ends up being once you get your fill....anyone who's into this album will agree that after a little bit of a listen, all the songs are more than melodic, all of it, and as far as Nintendo Blood, how perfect is the build up to the final lines....just perfect.

[@desertcatinacave]

Anybody else spot the reference to Human Sadness? 'The moon is cracked I think it looked at me and grinned The room is packed I look around and now it spins'

[@anon6080]

Only reason I came to comments was to see if anyone else noticed

[@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan]

desertcatinacave first two chords also sound like Human Sadness

[@anonymousperson3424]

gotta love that every song in this album gives a different vibe but you can still tell, those cool keyboard sounds and weird percussion stuff is a sound that only comes from these laddos

[@AtticusFresh]

Jules posted the lyrics on every song on the album?!?! Awesomeness!!! Jules is like Thom Yorke where it takes me quite a few listens to discern the lyrics so this is a godsend. This album is incredible.

[@lukebarry1422]

The first time I heard this song I thought it had some catchy parts but it was weird and too long. Now I kind of still think that but I also see it as an original piece of work and almost as a masterpiece of sorts with some very catchy parts. It also feels like there are at least two songs mashed together here. The chorus ( Imprisoned us in a song ) is so catchy and memorable and it's a shame that it is repeated only twice in such a long song but maybe that's the point. Also the outro is such a mood changer but it's also very empowering and you kind of want to say-'fuck, yeah' but it's over but the time you do. This song is a bit of an acquired taste but it's pretty great in the end. Very interesting listen each time I hear it.

[@cityrains6739]

It keeps growing on me

[@JoeMama-ez4tp]

The final chorus is godly

[@LeeMSF]

Is Julian a genius lyricist or what? god damn

[@JoeMama-ez4tp]

Hell yeah he is

[@jordanheimer774]

Julian's voice right at the end of this song.....Amazing. This whole song.... Amazing. The Voidz.....Amazing.

[@jetboy_]

this is so fucking gold it's holy, i loop this for like an hour when i listen with headphones.

[@haleysell7217]

There are several songs on this album that just hit me right there, right in that spot that really makes me feel something.

[@JOSEgotrejected]

i saw them live last night, i cried it being my first concert

[@AyazyamMedia]

That is pretty awesome

[@m.br.479]

After the ending of this song and of "Dare I Care," it's like massive relief after a workout, a fight, an orgasm, and enormous grief all setting in at once. It's exhausting and completely satisfying and magical all at once. That's musical and artistic talent right there.

[@eezeegeezaa]

AyazyamMedia Sorry dude I didn't mean to cry in public. I come off my bike 15 years ago and my health has been deteriorating ever since. I've had so many battles with family, poverty and depression and during all this time I found solace in Julian's music. I am thankfull to him and I want the man to continue banging out class records. I have been buying his music for over 15 years dude but just a little gutted I have yet to see him live. I think the evolvement from The Strokes to The voids has been epic and a wise artistic decision on Julians part. My drug of choice: River of Brake lights. God Bless You All. Stop The Fucking Wars! PEACE

[@AyazyamMedia]

I have no idea what post you are responding to of mine but it must have been important.

[@AyazyamMedia]

Please always cry in public and everywhere else, too.

[@r0segardens]

when it was over i kissed my fingers and said "bellissimo". i hate myself.

[@stronkbad5007]

Emma C. Haha.

[@MysteryHandle76]

Sounds like an 80s synthpop track. Only if the 80s synthpop track was reconstructed by a drug fueled serial killer. That recorded it through a half broken radio. Then the song was found, then played on a vhs.

[@finalgothform]

Hey, it's Papa Hill Most epic description of a song ever!

[@cameronjones1595]

Great way to describe it haha!

[@jamkaycontent]

Yes this comment

[@anaaguilar7263]

Omg the ending in all the songs are just chefs kiss

[@fafah01]

The final minute is amazing with the final chords progression and high voicing.

[@thewhatness]

I FINALLY KNOW THE LYRICS. BLESS YOU.

[@DJLewiscomedy]

This is amazing.."Cyborg I need to sit down, I need to shut up...Universe everything's wrong, I think I fucked up." The scientist turns metaphysical. The universe is perfect, we keep fucking it up with all our great ideas of improvement. I have chills.

[@jaimerockstar]

my favorite song off TYRANNY

[@scaredmouse86]

So sweet of him to mention his mom Jeanette.

[@helenomstreken7577]

There are few songs that evoke whatever it is i feel during the last bit of this song

[@brigittedelapava163]

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Julian more... I bask in this.

[@xdissonance8]

I love these vibes, they're very different

[@jimezieg1681]

I need hear in live here in Argentina guys! Come back soon please!

[@psarks1601]

That is peak Julian from 4:00 to the end. Amazing

[@andreacrippa7220]

This 8 bit drum sound are fantastic!

[@veridisquofg]

This is a masterpiece.

[@thehairysun8897]

All the best stuff is underrated

[@rebecam.8397]

3:50 to 4:02 he sounds exactly like Lou reed.

[@Ari-rs5ey]

hands down best song on the album.

[@WhitestWaters]

My god the lyrics on this are beautiful. Love Julian's "political" side, or just the fact that he sings about meaningful things. I love the lyrics "the moon is cracked I think it looked at me and grinned" too! Kind of psychedelic

[@razor.m]

The letter from the chief Seattle 4:40

[@yekayyeke9396]

*Nintendo*blood and he talks about the moon....major as mask ?

[@cilsesainte1124]

Cet album mériterait plus de considération car comme l'a dit Jack dans l'interview à Paris, ils ne se sont pas contentés du bon ils ont voulu ajouter de l'originalité et de l'art musical, ce qui en fait un album hors du commun un album génial, j'adore tous les titres de Tyranny j'ai eu un peu de mal avec off the war mais je l'ai écouté plusieurs fois et maintenant j'adore !

[@bykatherine21]

@2:25 Oh, I love you Jules ;) I like the way he raps or whatever xD

[@SinfulSnickers]

Love this song!! Julian you are GOD! Thank you for this.

[@haleysell7217]

This album is so badass I love it

[@KH_Axdoy]

Yeahhh!! 5:25

[@paytongutierrez5723]

I feel like 5:25 is the nut of the album

[@DiscoLeafs]

I had no idea this song was a banger until about three weeks ago. how does this happen?

[@fabianbelizan3972]

este tipo me sorprendio, es un verdadero genio de esta era musical.

[@barbymunoz4319]

Thanks Julian for this,youre such a god.

[@AyazyamMedia]

How to be Julian Casablancas in four easy steps! 1. Imprison us in the sound 2. Asleep in the dead of wrong 3. M-f don't page me tonight 4. Don't stop react attack!
