:: The Strokes - You Only Live Once

The Strokes

The Strokes are still at their best when they’re not trying too hard. Tap out an intro, throw in a catchy guitar riff and cue Julian Casablancas’s distinctive drawl. This time around he sounds so relaxed he might just fall over at the mic as he gives it another “ch ch ch chaa”. The lyrics are either a people watcher’s delight or a no brainer: “some people think they’re always right, others are quiet and uptight.” A counterbalance to the relentless and claustrophobic first single Juicebox, this track is perfect for kicking back and watching the world strut by.
