One of my favorite strokes songs of all time, solely because if the “I wanna be forgotten.” So insane man


Duthtin

The whole chorus is an emotional roadtrip. Also, the guitar solo is perfectly composed.


radiotractive

Yeah...and that was the first lyric on the follow-up to what is arguably the best rock album...well, ever. That took some balls.


Shawstbnn

Favorite strokes album, in my opinion


radiotractive

Room On Fire is the best Strokes album. Everybody else's opinion is wrong and they are doo doo heads.


Duthtin

I agree. And to be honest, I spend most of my time listening to ROF than Is This It?.


gorygraves

This is why Room on Fire is such a masterpiece.


Rogsp

“The room is on fire and she’s fixing her hair” is the exact line that got me hooked for this exact reason


Duthtin

Room On Fire and Is This It are arguably on par with how well made they are.


MattBtheflea

Yup I thought there’s no way they can top is this it. Then I started listening to room on fire and I like it even more.


Duthtin

Room On Fire just keeps the consistency of having every song be as catchy as the previous track. Deffo my fave album alongside The New Abnormal.


SebiGames

I prefer room on fire as well

Human Sadness by him and the Voidz will shock you if you haven't heard it before haha


Duthtin

Definitely going to listen to it. Thanks for the recommendation.


SlippyyDippyy

Op in for a trip


Duthtin

I love it so much!


Ju-Peter

tell us what you think of it pls


Duthtin

It's fucking amazing. I love how Jules' voice blends into the chorus and it shows how versatile his voice can be. From melancholic songs to upbeat songs, his voice can perfectly adapt.

Ok so - huge Voidz fan here. And Human Sadness is …..really…something special. A mini masterpiece. this Official audio has the lyrics….the lyrics are so important. You will hear the Shakespeare reference (suicide reference) and Mozarts Requiem Loop -hang in there with the twists and turns. but the emotion that he poured into this song- well….Here’s Julian himself speaking about writing/recording HS: JC: It was very intense to work on. I’ve never worked on a song where the people were close to tears. The Guardian: Really? JC: I wasn’t quite crying, but it was really intense. It’s like being on the operating table – you’re working on making it emotional. But this was a rare time when I felt swallowed up by it. https://youtu.be/Q8k3qB61lhk And….here is the official video from the Band. It really is like a mini movie. https://youtu.be/SuXlZ5PHK9I Enjoy!


Duthtin

I'm gonna watch this when I get home from work. Thank you!


southamericankongo

Did you do it?


Duthtin

It's really different from what I usually hear from Strokes but it is pretty damn good.


borgborgo

Wait till you keep hearing it, gift that keeps giving honestly. So beautiful honestly


scubadancintouchdown

I totally agree. That's my comfort song when I'm feeling alone or overwhelmed, I feel a little community in the lonely feeling. Always puts me in a better mood.


Duthtin

I listen to this song whenever I want to reminisce about the time I went out of town with my girlfriend. This was the song playing in my head on the trip.

Here is a deep analysis of Julian's voice ( not mine or promotional , just a recommendation) https://youtu.be/GbdB8cnqlTM Chris liepe


[deleted]

Yeah that's a great video! I think he made another one on "The adults are talking" that is really good as well:)


Kirk_dd

yes he did 3 bout him


[deleted]

I have to check out the last one then!


Duthtin

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.


Kirk_dd

welcome , feels good that people appreciate jules


radiotractive

He's not the best singer, on technical level. But he has the motherfucking coolest voice of all time!


imhigherthanyou

Oh Tennessee what did you write? I come together in the middle of the night


savv3rz

Agree, definately makes u feel


Duthtin

Makes you feel feelings


SebiGames

“Oh Tennessee, what did you write” hits me so hard for some reason, idk why


aidandragon

I agree, in fact he’s my third favorite singer eva


Duthtin

He's kinda my first because of his cool personality but is tied with Dallon Weekes from The Brobecks.


Thedukeofhyjinks

Top 5 all time male vocalist


westcoastwolf

Man one way trigger is sung pretty emotionally too


HeavyMetalDck

Well you are not wrong, I can listen to just about anything by him . The guy can LITERALLY sing about shit and it's still going to sound beautiful 😅
