The thing about discovering The Strokes late, I can listen to all of the old stuff and felt like it was new.

I felt the same way back in 2007 :)

Lyrics: Unchain me It's not my midnight yet Act like a fox but think like a sheep Wall Street Unchain me 'Cause this is my bank's advice We're gonna give it back to you Some other day Take off from the runway Thinking of a sad day Racing down the highway Looking at me sideways What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? Unchain me It's time I know the way uptown Unchain me I've waited for the time Get you with your pajamas on Take off from the runway Thinking of a sad day Playing with his new toys Looking at the sad boys What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? And we take What we hide from them And then say "What do you want from me?" Don't wait so long Way too long They wait too long I can't stay awake too long You never wait for some Other generation I'll wait somewhere Alone, get it in your head Get out of my way What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? What side you standing on? Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh

[@Slashycent]

This might just be the ultimate Strokes song. Sounds like all of their albums compressed into one mind-blowingly beautiful piece of music. Speechless.

[@ReLoadXxXxX]

The EP is called Future Present Past for a reason.

[@Slashycent]

@@ReLoadXxXxX Yeah they really nailed the concept to a T.

[@DeaLenihan]

Perfectly said. I agree

[@steffanyfarro2005]

THAT GUITAR SOLO IS LEGENDARY

[@Turdferguson90]

I notice Julian mentions two things alot in his lyrics, waiting and being sad. These are very clear in his psyche. Waiting for something that you know may never happen is linked to depression. Me too, Julian, me too.

[@Kon2336]

Nick's solo is killer!

[@stereostigma5794]

It's about corporate greed.

Its about Bofa

[@joaobarreiromoreira]

It's against capitalism :D

I think its analyzing the effects of bofadeez and its impact on society

I love how the guitars harmonize with the vocals on that first prechorus. It's amazing. I also love how he sings "Unchain me".

[@starri9584]

This is my favorite song ever

[@gramplegust5115]

Excellent choice.

[@eb-ib4mq]

You guys will never see this, but I take a lot of inspiration from your work and wanted to try to voice my appreciation. For 15+ years you 5 have given me more reason to work through life's shitty parts than anything else. I want to be as good as Jules at songwriting, as good as Nick and Albert at guitar, almost as good as Nik at Bass and Fab at drums but honestly it seems unattainable, you guys are legends. I won't ever stop, though. You guys won't either.

Seems that The Strokes have a big community of fans in south America ! (I'm from France)

[@hosbio2738]

C'est juste que les brésiliens essaient jamais de parler anglais mais je suis sûre que sinon y a beaucoup de fans d'autres nationalités

[@MrMCguy774]

yeah. they used to be huge here in the US and now theyre really big in south america. I think its cool that theyre still super popular somewhere considering so many people here have forgotten them. i mean you take a break for 5 years that happens.

[@mattl1221]

+K5 Dead Memories | TheDGL.org yeah in seemed in the 2000s so many bands were inspired by the strokes

[@ThisisBrownfield]

No they are still popular in the world, nobody has forgotten them. But they have a special relationship with south america (some of the strokes partly come from south america).

[@ThisisBrownfield]

Y'a aussi beaucoup d'espagnols. Je crois qu'ils sont vraiment nombreux, mais j'ai pas dit qu'il n'y avais pas d'autres pays.

The Strokes is one of the best band ever exists. They always come with something new that we've never heard before. Sometimes like oldies 50s 60s kind of music mixed with modern disco/funk/pop feels. Lots of love ♥️

This has actually become one of my favourite songs by The Strokes. The chorus, the solo, the bridge and the outro is pure magic.

[@cesarfrias1587]

yeah, I'm guessing this is the present, joy is the past and that weird ass song that starts the ep is the future? Maybe.

[@prezidenttrump5171]

If Drag Queen is the future, then the future sucks ass.

[@angusporcupine]

i disagree. Oblivius - past (it has the guitar riff repeating in the beginning, distorted vocals, and a guitar solo like most songs in Is This It have) Drag Queen - Present (It had the same sort of style Comedown Machine had) Threat of Joy - (in their next album we'll probably hear more relaxing songs like Threat of Joy)
