Julian once described their music as "Imagine you took a time machine into the future and found a classic album from way in the past and really liked it." That's exactly what this sounds like
@Silent Sighs nope, i am 29 and a fan of them since Is This It. I happened to be a fan that respect their decisions and not being a dick to them if the directions they are taking are not to my liking. I like music in every aspect of it, the vocal or the instruments, if it deserve praise then i will give it. And i got nothing to complain here tbh.
This is one of their finest pieces. Just sublime in every way. And the song combined with this awesomely ambiguous animation makes it something special.
hadnt heard the strokes in a long time then drew gooden brings up their new-ish music and im blown away at how good julian still is. what a nice way to finish the day
@@miguelsan1978 are you fucking serious!?! Oh my gosh you just made me sooooooo happy!!! Thank youuuuu!! I knew it!! I just knew it!! Julian is far too awakened to everything to have done anything in 440!!! Fabulous news! Thank you!👍👍💓🙏💓
I attended a funeral today and discovered this song yesterday for the first time. I hit play on my way to and from the funeral itself on repeat. It was an untimely passing, too young at 32. This song has given me so much perspective I’ve never held previously. Bravo Strokes

This lyrics is about the New World order, and the New World that Will come after the magnetic Camp inversion. Only God Will safe us! Only ones who have faith in His. The World Will become worse! It seems who the Strokes knows what would come before the covid-19. The thinks is being. The geopolitics shows this.

Does anyone understand that video? I believe it's that story of the boy who was born and raised in the late 20th century. A typical example of "the future youth (as incarnating souls) will come from entirely different cosmic worlds than us", like Rudolf Steiner once told his followers. He witnesses how people -- his own human parents -- fall victim to demonical possession of the worst kind (Asuras) and tear everything, deep love built up in many years, apart, even destroying their own kid's cosmic heroine right in front of him. The kids brain gets destructed in a moment like this, but he yet has to live and later he dies in more modern times as a cosmonaut, because people of "the new abnormal" lifestyle are casual about the life of their fellow man and forgot to provide him with air out of lazyness or something like that. Then there's the cosmic heroine. I think they should have used another image then she breaking those titanian chains, because no one is able to build up _that_ much PSI especially in that kind of a situation. (Lower minded people in the near, are restricting the use of PSI by nature. For example, it's nearly impossible to physically levitate among low-minded idiots, because minds always have the occult power to hold things as they know them.) is this in the future, and is the spiritual cosmic civilization destroying future Earth, because it became decadent? Also the boy visits his old parental home as a sphere-human (=dead person). Then it transforms into the future: organic, self-sufficient cities in which the higher (minded) race will live in, while the rest, all the peoples of evil, the new human primates, will live their ape-like fates in the non-civilized wastelands. This will be in the mid of the 2000s.
The art is gorgeous, RCA got it out of the park. I love the Heavy Metal vibe in the Megastructure scenes. The song struck me like a chord when I first heard it. I was completely blown away by this music video! It’s a nostalgia trip going back in time by shooting through infinity to get there.
I started listening to The Strokes when I was still in school. Now I'm a 27 years old man. Next year I'm going to be a dad. This song hits me really hard that I have to grow up and face the harsh reality of adulthood. May all of us be strong together.
I was in school too when I 1st heard them, now im in my 30s with kids and when they get in the car they say put the Strokes on, when were barbecuing in the backyard its the Strokes on the speakers, show your kids what good music is and you get to re-enjoy the songs over again.
I can't escape it I'm never gonna make it out of this in time I guess that's just fine I'm not there quite yet My thoughts, such a mess Like a little boy What you running for? Run at the door Anyone home? Have I lost it all? Struck me like a chord I'm an ugly boy Holding on the night Lonely after light You begged me not to go Sinking like a stone Use me like an oar And get yourself to shore Bang at the door Anyone home? It's just what they do Right in front of you Like a cannonball Slamming through your wall In their face, I saw What they're fighting for I can't escape it I'm never gonna make it to the end, I guess Struck me like a chord I'm an ugly boy Holding on the night Lonely after light Banging on the door I don't wanna know Sinking like a stone So use me like an oar Onto fight what I can’t see Not tryna build No dynasty I can't see beyond this wall But we lost this game So many times before I been on a cold road I'll be waiting, yeah I'll be waiting for the old times Waiting for the time to pass I been on a cold road I'll be waiting, yeah I'll be waiting for the old times Waiting for the time to pass
I've read another version of the final sentence. "I'll be waiting from the other side Waiting for the time to pass." And I guess this makes sense, because the "door to other dimesion" opens just in this moment in the video.
He says: -- I'll be waiting from the other side Waiting for the tide to rise -- Which makes sense as it calls back to "Sinkin' like a stone. Use me like an oar. To get yourself to shore." Which makes me believe this song is political in nature. "Not tryna' build no dynasty. I can't see beyond this wall" It was in fact premiered at a Bernie Rally 2 days ago. But the beauty of songs like this is they can have so much meaning in so many different ways to different people though.
Based on the video, I like to think this is mostly about different relationships with death. The boy is suicidal, the curse in the rabbit world seems to be inescapable, the aliens are transcending, and the space warrior sacrifices herself. They are all met with death and deal with it in different ways. The turn to it, they run from it, they aspire for it, and they are honored by it. A lot of deep feels in this masterpiece. And "the door" is the unknown. The void. The line between life and death. Even though these stories are very different, they are connected through life and death. Something inevitable for everything in the universe.
First song in a while i learned first listen. You have no idea what feelings this song gives me i even drew a few tributes for the song it got me out of my slump which is good cuz if I don’t sell art i starve.

@@lebigfin5251 ua-cam.com/video/K9USppH_8eg/v-deo.html No, I know it sounds like a synth. But in that interview, Julian literally says it sounds like a synth (the intro), but it's actually Nick playing it using a digital guitar.
That look of confusion that the bunny has when it gets slashed across the face, as if confused as to why anyone would want to hurt someone like that...it’s heartbreaking.
Yes Alan, it is heartbreaking. Heart wrenching. There is so much compassion and empathy and love here, God bless you all for having...hearts of gold....for I too am that way and my heart breaks every day for you, for me and for them. The pain on the rabbits face, almost hard to take because it seems like despair. The hardest part is sitting here helpless, watching it and there is nothing I can do to help him. And this is a metaphor for all of us who have been struck dumb and left with that pained expression of sadness, fear and confusion.
This is a masterpiece and this is the best album I have heard in a good few years. I have a deep newfound love for the whole vibe of this album. Better than i could have ever hoped for. The strokes are genuinely on there own level.
The Wikipedia for this single does such a good job breaking down each section of the animation and explaining how they interweave. I’m pretty sure all the different aspects were drawn by different artists, and each animation has a name (The Boy, The Rabbits, The Megastructure, The Celestial Procession, Cosmonaut 1982), and all are inspired by 70’s-80’s cartoons, animated films, and cult-classic fantasies (Watership Down, Heavy Metal, The NeverEnding Story).
The sole inspiration here is the _secret space program_ . "At the Door" means the door into a new era, the cosmic era where humanity -- as a whole as opposed to 75 preceding years of black projects-- leaves the Sol-system to explore outer space, started in its preparations with the C-virus agenda. But pssst! 🤫💀 Didn't really find many cmts to post that under, though... the cmts that interpreted the video and were new when it released, seem for the most part to be gone...
the moment when the girl breaks the chains and the rythim changes is flawless The bridge scene with the robed figures is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
The strokes still sound like the strokes.....even when they change thier styles completely.....love the music so much thinking about using a strokes song for a walkout fight song.
@@Fugshot1 def thinking juicebox. I like something that'll calm me down and focus. So strokes music always clears my mind ..clear skies I was thinking too
Used to love the strokes when I was younger. For whatever reason I lost touch with them. Found this song 2 days ago and have played it about 100 times. My daughter is 2 and I'm showing her all strokes music old and new. Thank you for blessing all of us with all this beautiful music all these years!
It is amazing how each segment looks like it is taken from some forgotten classic animation movie. And: full credits in the video and description. Which is always a sign that the band did it on purpose and wasn't just an accidentally successful pitch.
The closest you'll get to this is either “Love Death+robots” which was inspired by “ heavy metal”... it's about different stories, but all stories have one thing in common tho... There's an object known as the orb, which is unknown... Until the climax
Im crying for such a beutiful song .... this lyrics... the message ... the art. And after all this years we can hear a new strokes song, more mature, more deep. Thanks for bringing us this unique joy.
Julian's narrative transitions began with the song "on the other side” the lyrics - “nobody’s waiting for me on the other side” and then - “i know you’re waiting for me on the other side” to now - “i’ll be waiting from the other side, waiting for the tide to rise”. Julian sings a lot about death, I'm very interested as to how much influence Julian had over the music video if anyone has any insight on that.
Every song by The Strokes that has such an innovative arrangement makes me wonder if maybe all this time I was listening to the same music with different singers or bands, because literally some of his songs are unlike anything I've heard before compared to other artists, it was what my life was missing, thanks for giving it to me, thank you Julian you are always a great inspiration.
Both of my parents are addicts. This song is so accurate I can't stop crying. Everything said is uncanny to my life. Mentality this is where my head has been for so long. Thank you for putting this in the world.
Sorry to hear that, Carrine. I'm a 19 year old addict with 15 months in recovery, and it's a terrible disease all around. I'll keep your family in my thoughts. If you feel like you'd benefit from something like them, there are support groups out there for the loved ones of addicts.
legit thought my music had started playing when i was watching drew's video. i've been listening to the strokes on repeat for weeks lmao. glad to have further proof that he's got great taste
I'm a casual The Strokes fan. Only ever listened to one of their albums fully. It's fucking amazing how much this song appeals to my tastes. I listen to it at least twice a day. I absolutely love their new direction. Hope the quality is consistent throughout the whole album
If you like this strokes song you will probably like these following songs of theirs- 80s come down machine, One way trigger, Two kinda of happiness, and games (i picked their most synth stuff)
they just released bad decisions which i personally think is great and there’s another song ‘Ode to the mets’ that you can find on youtube, they debuted it at a concert on new years and i fuckin love that song
Relatable. I miss the guitar so damn much and I also miss the old The Strokes when Julian didn't use autotune. But still they're my favorite band ever and I love them. I just wish they could do an album kinda similar to Room On Fire.
@@alienjoshie1136 I mean, The Strokes and their guitar technician wrote it so they were more than just “instruments” Rick Rubin was definitely a key player though, considering the production is amazing, but reducing the band members to “instruments” is not giving them enough credit.
The video is incredible, I've seen it several times and every time I find something more related to another. I feel that the video tries to tell the story of a person in his death (2:20), that the first thing he sees is the death that hugs him and makes him see something. Where he returns us to the past as a child, where he lives a bad experience (0:20). Something interesting is that the rabbit in the video is himself (you can see it in his eyes) and the bad rabbit is the bad memory and leaves a scar in his past (1:46). The cinematic of the super hero tries to show how he tries to overcome this last moment and accept it (3:50), death is the one who helps him remember the past, of course (2:47). In the end he leaves everything behind. (4:44)
I loved your interpretation! And I think the video is about how we can see the death as a solution: a door to a new word when everything in our life actually sucks.
This song resonates with me so deeply. Makes me think of where we are, where we've been and where we're going. What it's all about. Jean Paul Sartre hinted that music was the cure for existential dread, when I hear this song, I see that. The video's amazing as well, adds greatly to the effect.
@ Nah, I'm a big boy. When you've lived to 50, some mud's gonna be slung. As an animation freak, and since this style is so reminiscent of Heavy Metal, I had hoped to see this beautiful vision in full clarity whether standard or vr.
I'm not sure why, but seeing the bunny at 4:42 was the emotional peak for me. Even though its eyes were nearly blacked out, the emotion it expressed stunned me. These animators deserve a lot of respect.
@@wehaveanewhero Same. Kind of how it feels in the world right now. Cant go back, need to go into the unknown. Adam Henderson killed the animation on that shot
So these are the first strokes singles in years, and they're great, no denying. Totally worthy of praise. But can we also take a second to appreciate these videos? Both this and the bad decisions one are just so incredible. Original ideas, a beautiful aesthetic, crazy effects (the deepfake in bad decisions). Well done. Best music videos I've seen lately.
Jeremy C haha! I’ve been playing this on repeat as well. It gives me so many feels! I’m glad I can relate to you and everyone else in these comments because idk anyone besides my hubby who listens to them.
I mean this in the best way, but the video is hard for me to watch. It's like a deep-seated childhood memory being pulled to the forefront. I grew up watching weird old sci fi and fantasy stuff with my dad and it's like watching a film I've never seen... that I've seen a thousand times before. Like a new nostalgia. Being paired with one of my favorite bands makes it all the stranger and I love it.
That green day album was just shit churned out because they still needed to release an album under their current contract, forget that ever happened and wait for their next one it should be coming soon
It's definitely one of the most beautiful videos I've seen. Super stylistic. I don't think I've ever seen anyone pay homage to a very short lived, but artisicly influencal period of fantasy animated movies from 1973 to 1981. The hobbit, Watership down, Wizards, Fantasic Planet, lord of the ring, heavy metal. They are all very different, while simultaneously sharing a similar aesthetic. The animators knocked it out of the park. It's hard to believe they put this much effort into a music video......It couldn't of been cheap.
For everyone bitching about no drums or guitar have you not heard Call it Fate Call it Karma?? It’s not the first time they’ve done this. I think this will be one song that glues the album together
it’s quite obvious what this song is about (death) but essentially it’s about contemplating death, accepting death, fighting death, sacrifice, encouraging others to move on after, and the transcendence of death. there’s probably more themes i missed so feel free to add but by far my most played song of 2021 by far
Sounds like it's about a kid having terminal illness, in a family where the parents are already having struggles. They wants to be used like an oar to navigate their parents troubles, while they struggle to come to terms with their terminal issues. I think that they are having difficulties because of the cannonball reference. The kid feels alone every night, probably because they can't leave due to poor health conditions, and when they are banging at the door, the parents don't have the answers to the terminal illness problem I could be projecting however 😅
@@nathanauger7744 i mean that’s a fair assessment but the video shows so much more than just the kids story, i think “at the door” is more of a reference to general thoughts of death in many forms rather than just terminal illness
Anyone who enjoyed the animation in this should check out: Watership Down Starchaser: The Legend of Orin The Centurions Anything animated based on the work of Robert Crumb Man, I'm old :D
With what I’ve found out in the last year, I just watched the video again and I understand all the symbolism. Extremely serious messages about our “reality” now & our inevitable imminent future demise. It’s amazingly constructed to leave it too cryptic for most. Hug your loved ones & make peace guys. Love to all the good guys out there, which is the vast majority, and always the biggest tragedy when they decide to cull us. Good luck everyone ✌️
I felt that The Strokes has been very distant over the past 7 years. Eventhough they did live shows, and even releasing the "Future, Present, Past" EP, somehow the feeling just wasn't the same... It's like they're present but was "absent" at the same time. And then came the Bernie Rally, which in my opinion was one of their best performances, and the crowd had a great time (with the crowdsurfing and getting up on stage etc.). I was watching the stream and for me, the peak of it was the "At The Door" music video reveal. Listening to it made me feel very melancholic. It felt like I finally found what I was missing all these years. "At The Door" made me realize how much I missed The Strokes and how they played an important role in my life. The nostalgic ambience of this song reminded me of why I was in love with The Strokes in the first place. Welcome back guys :") can't wait for April 10th.
But you can see that in that moment he realized fear would not help him, it cannot help anyone of us. We must learn to gather our stengths to find ourselves out of bad situations. Be as brave as that defenseless rabbit. We are all here to learn my friends, be kind to each other and reach out to life, it will show us the right way. Be well :)
Legitimately one of the most beautiful things that I’ve ever seen. The part when the kid sheds a tear before embracing death...really hits home. I know many of us have felt like that kid. Unloved and unwanted. When that part of the video happened I just started bawling. Thank you for this you guys. It means so much to your fans.
After a whole day at work acting like everything's great, I am so thankful to have music like this where I can just be melancholy, contemplative, emotional, and lost in my thoughts.

Wallace Winston yeah, takes me back to when I was like 14. 2001-2002
The new abnormal is a masterpiece, unforgettable lyrics and music. I think many here grew up with the strokes and we all saw how Julian became a poet
This is easily my favorite album of the year so far. It's also one of the few albums in my life where I've downloaded and like every single song.
Julian was a poet from day one, “I missed the last bus, I’ll take the next train, I try but you see it’s hard to explain” :)

"At The Door"
I can't escape it
I'm never gonna make it out of this in time
I guess that's just fine
I'm not there quite yet
My thoughts, such a mess
Like a little boy
What you runnin' for?
Arrive at the door
Anyone home?
Have I lost it all?
Struck me like a chord
I'm an ugly boy
Holdin' on the night
Lonely after light
You begged me not to go
Sinkin' like a stone
Use me like an oar
And get yourself to shore
Bang at the door
Anyone home?
It's just what they do
Right in front of you
Like a cannonball
Slammin' through your wall
In their face, I saw
What they're fightin' for
I can't escape it
I'm never gonna make it to the end, I guess
Struck me like a chord
I'm an ugly boy
Holdin' on the night
Lonely after light
Bangin' on the door
I don't wanna know
Sinkin' like a stone
So use me like an oar
Hard to fight what I can't see
Not tryna build
No dynasty
I can't see beyond this wall
But we lost this game
So many times before
I been on a cold road
I'll be waiting, yeah
I'll be waiting from the other side
Waiting for the tide to rise
I been on a cold road
I'll be waiting, yeah
I'll be waiting from the other side
Waiting for the tide to rise

What you running for?
Run at the door
Anyone home?
Have I lost it all?
Struck me like a chord
I'm an ugly boy
Holdin' on the night
Lonely after light
You begged me not to go
Sinkin' like a stone
Use me like an oar
And get yourself to shore
Bang at the door
Anyone home?
It's just what they do
Right in front of you
Like a cannonball
Slammin' through your wall
In their face, I saw
What they're fightin' for
I can't escape it
I'm never gonna make it to the end, I guess
Struck me like a chord

Holdin' on the night
Lonely after light
Bangin' on the door
I don't wanna know
Sinkin' like a stone
So use me like an oar
Onto fight what I can’t see
Not tryna build no dynasty
I can't see beyond this wall
But we lost this game so many times before
I been on a cold road
I'll be waiting, yeah
I'll be waiting from the other side
Waiting for the time to pass

Don't get me wrong -- the Strokes were great from day 1 -- but they've come a hell of a long way in 20yrs. This shit is next level.
hi another cool song is Time by The Impures

And Mr.Fear by Siames
@@abestrus689 why does everyone keep recommending this on strokes songs
@@red_Sun24 Spam is the reason why...
@@red_Sun24 on Tame Impala songs too smh
That's different and so good. Missed the guitars, but the vocals melted my heart.
Seems like it'll be more of the classic guitar sound in songs like: 'The Adults are Talking', 'Ode to the mets' and 'Bad Decisions'
Guitars, Bass and drums is all here
@@pedropimenta727, I heard and loved this style, just meant the guitars like in the past.
@@wma96 so you need to wait for adults are talking, guitars are dope
We had something similar before, Ask me anything from First impressions of earth was also just Julian and no guitars, also Call it Fate, call it karma was similar too
Seriously, this is an amazing song. I never heard Julian sing better than this. And this video is a beautiful trip.
to get more of The Strokes in 2020 is a damn miracle and i'm so grateful

This lyrics is about the New World order, and the New World that Will come after the magnetic Camp inversion. Only God Will safe us! Only ones who have faith in His. The World Will become worse!

🔥The Strokes - At The Door Lyrics
🔥ua-cam.com/video/yRok4GcJWOo/v-deo.html
Does anyone understand that video? I believe it's that story of the boy who was born and raised in the late 20th century. A typical example of "the future youth (as incarnating souls) will come from entirely different cosmic worlds than us", like Rudolf Steiner once told his followers. He witnesses how people -- his own human parents -- fall victim to demonical possession of the worst kind (Asuras) and tear everything, deep love built up in many years, apart, even destroying their own kid's cosmic heroine right in front of him. The kids brain gets destructed in a moment like this, but he yet has to live and later he dies in more modern times as a cosmonaut, because people of "the new abnormal" lifestyle are casual about the life of their fellow man and forgot to provide him with air out of lazyness or something like that.
Then there's the cosmic heroine. I think they should have used another image then she breaking those titanian chains, because no one is able to build up _that_ much PSI especially in that kind of a situation. (Lower minded people in the near, are restricting the use of PSI by nature. For example, it's nearly impossible to physically levitate among low-minded idiots, because minds always have the occult power to hold things as they know them.) is this in the future, and is the spiritual cosmic civilization destroying future Earth, because it became decadent?
Also the boy visits his old parental home as a sphere-human (=dead person). Then it transforms into the future: organic, self-sufficient cities in which the higher (minded) race will live in, while the rest, all the peoples of evil, the new human primates, will live their ape-like fates in the non-civilized wastelands. This will be in the mid of the 2000s.
It's going to be breathtakingly beautiful
Strokes 2020. I like where this decade is going.
this aged interestingly
This dudes voice just rips emotion and mood through every fiber of my being. It’s so good
I come here everyday to make sure this song is real
Nice pfp
same omgggg
Hello Spectre
Does anyone know if The Strokes' music is in 440 hz or 432 hz?
Everyday
I hope the animators made a shit ton of money off of this. Old school 2D is hard work and they definitely didn't cut corners here. Beautiful video.
TheBlueFister one can only hope
The art is gorgeous, RCA got it out of the park. I love the Heavy Metal vibe in the Megastructure scenes.
The song struck me like a chord when I first heard it. I was completely blown away by this music video! It’s a nostalgia trip going back in time by shooting through infinity to get there.
WhatnotSoforth the cover art for the single reminds me of Dune
It looks a bit tweened to me, meaning computer assisted frames between hand drawn keyframes, not each individual frame drawn by hand.
SO SATISFYING TO WATCH in comparison to computer-generated illustrations
I started listening to The Strokes when I was still in school. Now I'm a 27 years old man. Next year I'm going to be a dad. This song hits me really hard that I have to grow up and face the harsh reality of adulthood. May all of us be strong together.
You got this, dude. Sometimes we feel super underprepared, but that's okay. Have faith in yourself.
Congratulations for daddyhood🎉
May all of us be strong together
May everything be eased
I was in school too when I 1st heard them, now im in my 30s with kids and when they get in the car they say put the Strokes on, when were barbecuing in the backyard its the Strokes on the speakers, show your kids what good music is and you get to re-enjoy the songs over again.
If this was released 15 years ago people would have gone insane. Possibly the most underrated album of all time.
Underrated? Bro this album literally won a Grammy. It’s a great album but definitely not underrated.
@@rohanmathew1 bro chill
@@rohanmathew1 well......I mean it should've gotten like 8.
@@rohanmathew1 compared to other music this album is criminally underrated.
The Strokes are generally underrated in their history. They're, for me, one of the best - if not the best - bands of the last 20 years.
Fab remained all song waiting for Julian to ask him for drums.
Underrated comment for sure
2020: Drums, please, Fab.
2030: Voice, please, Julian.
I just realized there are no drums in this song :O
@@JMXx999 it'd be "voice, please, Jules"

Okay grandpa 😩
Same fuckin ehy
Im 14
Well said
I'm almost 33 and I know what you mean.
definitely one of the best songs i've ever listened to in my life.

Use me like an oar
And get yourself to shore
Bang at the door

Right in front of you
Like a cannonball
Slamming through your wall

What they're fighting for

Struck me like a chord

Holding on the night
Lonely after light
Banging on the door
I don't wanna know
Sinking like a stone
So use me like an oar
Onto fight what I can’t see
Not tryna build
No dynasty
I can't see beyond this wall
But we lost this game

I'll be waiting, yeah
I'll be waiting for the old times
Waiting for the time to pass
I been on a cold road
I'll be waiting, yeah
I'll be waiting for the old times
Waiting for the time to pass
I've read another version of the final sentence.
"I'll be waiting from the other side
Waiting for the time to pass."
And I guess this makes sense, because the "door to other dimesion" opens just in this moment in the video.
I think he says "Hard to fight what you can't see" rather than onto
He says:
--
I'll be waiting from the other side
Waiting for the tide to rise
--
Which makes sense as it calls back to
"Sinkin' like a stone. Use me like an oar. To get yourself to shore."
Which makes me believe this song is political in nature.
"Not tryna' build no dynasty. I can't see beyond this wall"
It was in fact premiered at a Bernie Rally 2 days ago.
But the beauty of songs like this is they can have so much meaning in so many different ways to different people though.
*"My thoughts, such a mess"
anyone else cry from the pure energy the sound gives
v mind listening to this amazing tune i got recommended - TIME BY THE IMPURES v
When I first listened to this you better believe it brought tears to my eyes.
@@TheAgent92 same here it takes alot to make me cry now a days but this song has touched my soul left a mark or some would say struck me like a chord
I did tho
No
You're sentimental!
Based on the video, I like to think this is mostly about different relationships with death.
The boy is suicidal, the curse in the rabbit world seems to be inescapable, the aliens are transcending, and the space warrior sacrifices herself.
They are all met with death and deal with it in different ways. The turn to it, they run from it, they aspire for it, and they are honored by it.
A lot of deep feels in this masterpiece.
And "the door" is the unknown. The void. The line between life and death.
Even though these stories are very different, they are connected through life and death. Something inevitable for everything in the universe.
Thank you for the analysis! Was looking for that kind of comment and I’d add that it lines up with what I visioned during the clip.
Perfect analysis
This is very nice and makes a lot of sense! Thanks for that!
Julian created a band called the voidz because he feels his own mortality?
bruv, you should write a book. beautifully worded!
Holy shit. What a fucking ballad. Modern day masterpiece. Love you Strokes
First listen: oh wow that's a different sound
Fifth listen: damn this is pretty good
Tenth listen: STRUCK ME LIKE A CHOOOOOOOOOORD
LITERALLY ME
First song in a while i learned first listen. You have no idea what feelings this song gives me i even drew a few tributes for the song it got me out of my slump which is good cuz if I don’t sell art i starve.

That melody on the synthetizer the first seconds makes you realize something timeless is about to start. Best song from the album.
CHECK OUT THE IMPURES "THREATS" SONG
It's a guitar made to sound like a synth, not actually a synth.
Best song of all time for me
@@thesearchforendlesseuphoria no it’s definitely a synth in the right ear. With a rlly quite guitar in your left. Especially the intro is synth
@@lebigfin5251 ua-cam.com/video/K9USppH_8eg/v-deo.html No, I know it sounds like a synth. But in that interview, Julian literally says it sounds like a synth (the intro), but it's actually Nick playing it using a digital guitar.
That look of confusion that the bunny has when it gets slashed across the face, as if confused as to why anyone would want to hurt someone like that...it’s heartbreaking.
Yes Alan, it is heartbreaking. Heart wrenching. There is so much compassion and empathy and love here, God bless you all for having...hearts of gold....for I too am that way and my heart breaks every day for you, for me and for them. The pain on the rabbits face, almost hard to take because it seems like despair. The hardest part is sitting here helpless, watching it and there is nothing I can do to help him. And this is a metaphor for all of us who have been struck dumb and left with that pained expression of sadness, fear and confusion.
Watership Down
now I'm crying, thanks
i came to say exactly the same, i can see the trauma on its face.
same feeling here ...why he want to do that?...been cool
This is a masterpiece and this is the best album I have heard in a good few years. I have a deep newfound love for the whole vibe of this album. Better than i could have ever hoped for. The strokes are genuinely on there own level.
There's something so magical about this song, I cant stop listening.
I heard about 50 times or more today
on God
Its beautiful. Haunting. Mysterious. And elegantly composed. One of their best without question.
Verdade concordo contigo!!
@@antonioaugusto5521 música abre sua mente e alma
The Wikipedia for this single does such a good job breaking down each section of the animation and explaining how they interweave. I’m pretty sure all the different aspects were drawn by different artists, and each animation has a name (The Boy, The Rabbits, The Megastructure, The Celestial Procession, Cosmonaut 1982), and all are inspired by 70’s-80’s cartoons, animated films, and cult-classic fantasies (Watership Down, Heavy Metal, The NeverEnding Story).
Ecoute svp ma musique please :
ua-cam.com/video/sGLCeAvd1zw/v-deo.html
The Neverending Story is not animated.
@@MoMo-nj2oc The movies, no. The mid-90’s series, yes. But thank you for clarifying, since I was talking about the movies, not the TV show.
This HAS to be the same animators that did Parachute Ending, right??
The sole inspiration here is the _secret space program_ . "At the Door" means the door into a new era, the cosmic era where humanity -- as a whole as opposed to 75 preceding years of black projects-- leaves the Sol-system to explore outer space, started in its preparations with the C-virus agenda. But pssst! 🤫💀
Didn't really find many cmts to post that under, though... the cmts that interpreted the video and were new when it released, seem for the most part to be gone...
3:22 - 5:53 is my favourite part. The feelings I felt are at this point beyond unexplainable.
moogsies ! I constantly whistle that part when the ship goes down that hole
@@AgentSeventyOne It matches the chorus in Games. "Living in an empty world"
eally the best part of the music when they walk on the scale with synthesizer, I wish it would never end
Kinda reminds me of daft punk style, loved it!
Very Daft Punk in a great way for sure.
This music and clip together are a masterpiece, impactful, unforgettable.
I just found this clip today, and boy did it change my sunday for good. best musical production i've seen in 2020 so far
the moment when the girl breaks the chains and the rythim changes is flawless
The bridge scene with the robed figures is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
The strokes still sound like the strokes.....even when they change thier styles completely.....love the music so much thinking about using a strokes song for a walkout fight song.
its gotta be juicebox then!
The charlatans, title fight is the one I'd walk out to.
" Why Can't We Be Friends?" By War
Juice box is the song for that
@@Fugshot1 def thinking juicebox. I like something that'll calm me down and focus. So strokes music always clears my mind ..clear skies I was thinking too
Used to love the strokes when I was younger. For whatever reason I lost touch with them. Found this song 2 days ago and have played it about 100 times. My daughter is 2 and I'm showing her all strokes music old and new. Thank you for blessing all of us with all this beautiful music all these years!
This beautiful nostalgic animation style needs to come back as a feature-length big-budget theatrical movie.
It is amazing how each segment looks like it is taken from some forgotten classic animation movie. And: full credits in the video and description. Which is always a sign that the band did it on purpose and wasn't just an accidentally successful pitch.
@colr naranjanga no
The closest you'll get to this is either “Love Death+robots” which was inspired by “ heavy metal”... it's about different stories, but all stories have one thing in common tho... There's an object known as the orb, which is unknown... Until the climax
There is a phenomenal film called redline that I'm sure yall would love. One of my favorite animated films out there 😍
Scavengers Reign
Im crying for such a beutiful song .... this lyrics... the message ... the art. And after all this years we can hear a new strokes song, more mature, more deep. Thanks for bringing us this unique joy.
Totally agree!
Julian's narrative transitions began with the song "on the other side” the lyrics - “nobody’s waiting for me on the other side” and then - “i know you’re waiting for me on the other side” to now - “i’ll be waiting from the other side, waiting for the tide to rise”.
Julian sings a lot about death, I'm very interested as to how much influence Julian had over the music video if anyone has any insight on that.
Mitchell Gordon rumour goes That he is actually an angel here to teach and ease us in the world full of death

Both of my parents are addicts. This song is so accurate I can't stop crying. Everything said is uncanny to my life. Mentality this is where my head has been for so long. Thank you for putting this in the world.
Sorry to hear that, Carrine. I'm a 19 year old addict with 15 months in recovery, and it's a terrible disease all around. I'll keep your family in my thoughts. If you feel like you'd benefit from something like them, there are support groups out there for the loved ones of addicts.
Yes that thé way ....
legit thought my music had started playing when i was watching drew's video. i've been listening to the strokes on repeat for weeks lmao. glad to have further proof that he's got great taste
i always see the strokes vinyls in the back of his videos and it makes me so happy :)
@@horridtothecore1986 for real?? I never even noticed that! i guess i'll have to go look now haha
I'm a casual The Strokes fan. Only ever listened to one of their albums fully. It's fucking amazing how much this song appeals to my tastes. I listen to it at least twice a day. I absolutely love their new direction. Hope the quality is consistent throughout the whole album
At least five times a day for me :D
If you like this strokes song you will probably like these following songs of theirs- 80s come down machine, One way trigger, Two kinda of happiness, and games (i picked their most synth stuff)
they just released bad decisions which i personally think is great and there’s another song ‘Ode to the mets’ that you can find on youtube, they debuted it at a concert on new years and i fuckin love that song
@@rosshauler7688 yes, this song is quite a throwback to Angels
At least 3x a day, after every meal 🎶
the moment when the girl breaks the chains and the rythim changes is flawless
Ho yes......... superbe
Can't say I don't miss hearing the guitar in their music but I definitely dig this as well
Wait til you hear Bad Decisions. It's amazing with classic guitars
Wait for The Adults Are Talking for that (or just watch the live performance videos of that song)
Relatable. I miss the guitar so damn much and I also miss the old The Strokes when Julian didn't use autotune. But still they're my favorite band ever and I love them. I just wish they could do an album kinda similar to Room On Fire.
I don’t understand that sentence.
🔥The Strokes - At The Door Lyrics
🔥ua-cam.com/video/yRok4GcJWOo/v-deo.html
The fact that this songs does not feel like a 6 minute listen is amazing
The strokes have created a Masterpiece
Discovered it 5 days ago, clocking up approx 10× plays at the door per day. So agree masterpiece.
And Lou Reed is the father..
Rick ruben created the masterpiece. The strokes were the instruments
@@alienjoshie1136 I mean, The Strokes and their guitar technician wrote it so they were more than just “instruments” Rick Rubin was definitely a key player though, considering the production is amazing, but reducing the band members to “instruments” is not giving them enough credit.
@@arqumfarrukh7751 they are amazing people with amazing talent. But they do all play an instrument.
The video is incredible, I've seen it several times and every time I find something more related to another.
I feel that the video tries to tell the story of a person in his death (2:20), that the first thing he sees is the death that hugs him and makes him see something. Where he returns us to the past as a child, where he lives a bad experience (0:20). Something interesting is that the rabbit in the video is himself (you can see it in his eyes) and the bad rabbit is the bad memory and leaves a scar in his past (1:46).
The cinematic of the super hero tries to show how he tries to overcome this last moment and accept it (3:50), death is the one who helps him remember the past, of course (2:47).
In the end he leaves everything behind. (4:44)
Thanks for explaining, now I'm actually crying
Brilliant
Hugo Zetsubou I just seen a cartoon I guess I’m dumb. I’ll try again Hugo.
I loved your interpretation! And I think the video is about how we can see the death as a solution: a door to a new word when everything in our life actually sucks.
I believe it’s his parent divorce. He used to escape to cartoons to block the blowout of his parents arguing and yelling.
This is exactly the album I needed to get me through this shit year.
I can't get over the look of betrayal on the rabbits face after he was scratched..
When Julian said "I am an ugly boy" , I really felt that :)
@Xo Fob I know
Keep your head up king, your snapback is falling off
Ugly boy inside
I think he says "I'm an only boy"

This song resonates with me so deeply. Makes me think of where we are, where we've been and where we're going. What it's all about. Jean Paul Sartre hinted that music was the cure for existential dread, when I hear this song, I see that. The video's amazing as well, adds greatly to the effect.
The bridge scene with the robed figures is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
Really? The resolution is terribly poor.
David Adams 😑
David Adams yeah I had that problem on mobile. Fine on iPad and pc though

It just took me back to the days of VHS. Edit: cute with the higher mind quip.

Nah, I'm a big boy. When you've lived to 50, some mud's gonna be slung. As an animation freak, and since this style is so reminiscent of Heavy Metal, I had hoped to see this beautiful vision in full clarity whether standard or vr.
My playlist :
1. Ode to the mets
2. Call it fate, call it karma
3. At the door
4. Human sadness
5. Instant crush
you will feel floating.
I'm not sure why, but seeing the bunny at 4:42 was the emotional peak for me. Even though its eyes were nearly blacked out, the emotion it expressed stunned me. These animators deserve a lot of respect.
For sure, and 1:51 too. Just so many moments/images that come back after watching. Just a great job all around
i was scrolling to see if anyone else felt the same 😅😅😅
yes right then!
@@wehaveanewhero Same. Kind of how it feels in the world right now. Cant go back, need to go into the unknown. Adam Henderson killed the animation on that shot
I agree.....it's just wow
So these are the first strokes singles in years, and they're great, no denying. Totally worthy of praise. But can we also take a second to appreciate these videos? Both this and the bad decisions one are just so incredible. Original ideas, a beautiful aesthetic, crazy effects (the deepfake in bad decisions). Well done. Best music videos I've seen lately.
I love this one, it reminds me of the movie "Heavy Metal" but with a more emotional and direct story. It's real art.
Listen with good headphones y'all!
Okay, but is no one disappointed by the resolution?
I’m an animation student so this video is such an eyegasm! Beautiful animation.
tamie341 or a kickass Bluetooth speaker!
Its been a while since I had anything on repeat. Welcome back The Strokes. My ears are ready!!!
Jeremy C haha! I’ve been playing this on repeat as well. It gives me so many feels! I’m glad I can relate to you and everyone else in these comments because idk anyone besides my hubby who listens to them.
Virtue > whatever this is
@@S44BBOI anything else > wasting your life complaining about music you don't like online
This is not a music video this is a music movie.
Would love to see a whole season of this.
I mean this in the best way, but the video is hard for me to watch. It's like a deep-seated childhood memory being pulled to the forefront. I grew up watching weird old sci fi and fantasy stuff with my dad and it's like watching a film I've never seen... that I've seen a thousand times before. Like a new nostalgia. Being paired with one of my favorite bands makes it all the stranger and I love it.
Indeed
It's like what? Watership Down (1978) meets Heavy Metal (1981) meets the album cover art of TSOL Dance With Me. Is that about it? Something like that.
I couldn’t have said this any better than you just did. That’s basically how I felt about this video.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr exactly what I was thinking before I saw your comment!
Just when Green Day fail me, The Strokes give me this gem. God I needed this.
Green Day's new album sucks. Tame Impala and The Strokes recovered the pain.
Zack Zallie yr damn jiggy
That green day album was just shit churned out because they still needed to release an album under their current contract, forget that ever happened and wait for their next one it should be coming soon
@@armorofgod777 that whole theory was just bsed because that "new other album" was a big marketing hoax by this other band called panicland
@@musicman6555 Wow really? Lol seems like Billy Joe's pockets were running a bit too thin for his liking then
If this song isn't played at my funeral I don't wanna die.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mind listening to this nice song>>> TIME BY THE IMPURES
you're gonna make your old ass family sit through this shit?

It's definitely one of the most beautiful videos I've seen. Super stylistic. I don't think I've ever seen anyone pay homage to a very short lived, but artisicly influencal period of fantasy animated movies from 1973 to 1981. The hobbit, Watership down, Wizards, Fantasic Planet, lord of the ring, heavy metal. They are all very different, while simultaneously sharing a similar aesthetic. The animators knocked it out of the park. It's hard to believe they put this much effort into a music video......It couldn't of been cheap.
For everyone bitching about no drums or guitar have you not heard Call it Fate Call it Karma?? It’s not the first time they’ve done this. I think this will be one song that glues the album together
Richard Reney Call it fate has a rhythm track provided from an optigan/mellotron, but yeah I agree. What makes this song great is how bare it is
Yes but, how many people's favorite song is call it fate call it karma?
I hope there aren’t any guitar or drums on the album. I want them to go deep into the synth abyss.
Mi conclusión.
Julian debe estar insoportable en plena crisis.
Por eso grabó esto solo. Porque no se lo aguanta nadie.
Yes Yes mine
The best part of this song is 0:00 to 5:53
John Bulford *UUUUUH YEAH I WOULD SAY SO* stoooopid😀
Except for the video. Yeah right.
Yeah 5:54 kinda sucked tbh.
Fuck the last second tbh, that part kinda suck
“The rhythm is for you but the song is for me,
The meaning might be secret but the melody is free”
So just enjoy. ♥️
i know the meaning
🤔
Dinie Aziz i dont wanna know , sinking like a stone 😞
it’s quite obvious what this song is about (death) but essentially it’s about contemplating death, accepting death, fighting death, sacrifice, encouraging others to move on after, and the transcendence of death. there’s probably more themes i missed so feel free to add but by far my most played song of 2021 by far
Sounds like it's about a kid having terminal illness, in a family where the parents are already having struggles. They wants to be used like an oar to navigate their parents troubles, while they struggle to come to terms with their terminal issues. I think that they are having difficulties because of the cannonball reference.
The kid feels alone every night, probably because they can't leave due to poor health conditions, and when they are banging at the door, the parents don't have the answers to the terminal illness problem
I could be projecting however 😅
@@nathanauger7744 i mean that’s a fair assessment but the video shows so much more than just the kids story, i think “at the door” is more of a reference to general thoughts of death in many forms rather than just terminal illness
The more I listen to this song the better it gets. Wow. Just wow.
The strokes never disappoint.... just when it comes to touring
Why disappointing touring?
@@celestef7634 maybe they don't go to where they are from? Lol I went to New Hampshire. It was worth it. Loved the performance
@@lilluckypit oh lol. Yeah I guess, they seem to go to a lot of places though
Also, LUCKY!
When they play in New York they are amazing at least they were on New Year’s Eve but I think he was in a good mood.
I know their shows are amazing they’ve just never come around where I live makes me want to cry lol
Anyone who enjoyed the animation in this should check out:
Watership Down
Starchaser: The Legend of Orin
The Centurions
Anything animated based on the work of Robert Crumb
Man, I'm old :D
Now, I do. Thanks!
I think I see a bit of Akira in there as well.
Amanojaku8 And Heavy Metal. The one from 1981.
Angel's egg, if i may add
This is also giving mad vibes from Moebius's comic The Incal. Granted it's not animated, but very, very incredible
With what I’ve found out in the last year, I just watched the video again and I understand all the symbolism. Extremely serious messages about our “reality” now & our inevitable imminent future demise. It’s amazingly constructed to leave it too cryptic for most. Hug your loved ones & make peace guys. Love to all the good guys out there, which is the vast majority, and always the biggest tragedy when they decide to cull us. Good luck everyone ✌️
The obvious old cartoon references (Watership Down, He-Man, Voltron, etc) just got the almost hopeless feeling of this song so well
I felt that The Strokes has been very distant over the past 7 years. Eventhough they did live shows, and even releasing the "Future, Present, Past" EP, somehow the feeling just wasn't the same... It's like they're present but was "absent" at the same time. And then came the Bernie Rally, which in my opinion was one of their best performances, and the crowd had a great time (with the crowdsurfing and getting up on stage etc.). I was watching the stream and for me, the peak of it was the "At The Door" music video reveal. Listening to it made me feel very melancholic. It felt like I finally found what I was missing all these years. "At The Door" made me realize how much I missed The Strokes and how they played an important role in my life. The nostalgic ambience of this song reminded me of why I was in love with The Strokes in the first place.
Welcome back guys :") can't wait for April 10th.
:') i feel you bro
I am happy for you ^^
However, this song is not a kind of fix of The Strokes I am hoping for.
Que comentário sensacional, eu compartilho o mesmo.
I was at the bernie rally it was such an experience. I agree completely.
Bernie FTW!!!
That part when the bunny gets his face scratched breaks my heart
I feel such a surge of triumph when he finally breaks out though.
Me too bro lol
does that mean hes infected?
XD
But you can see that in that moment he realized fear would not help him, it cannot help anyone of us. We must learn to gather our stengths to find ourselves out of bad situations. Be as brave as that defenseless rabbit. We are all here to learn my friends, be kind to each other and reach out to life, it will show us the right way. Be well :)
The amount of beatiful riffs and melodys on this album is unbelievable.
THE DAY HAS COME, FINALLY I'M LISTENING TO A NEW STROKES SONG
This is absolutely magnificent.
Memorable and instantly iconic.
Legends.
GT3NB big time, the boyz are insane
Everyone is talking about the music but not about the animation... Its so freaking beautiful... reminds me a little about Interstella 5555 (Daft Punk)
Heavy metal 2000
Watership Down. Look it up.
Julian acsended to another level after working with Daft Punk. This is a Masterpiece!
Legitimately one of the most beautiful things that I’ve ever seen. The part when the kid sheds a tear before embracing death...really hits home. I know many of us have felt like that kid. Unloved and unwanted. When that part of the video happened I just started bawling. Thank you for this you guys. It means so much to your fans.
Yeah when I saw that part my heart started aching alot
This is the song that you turn on after you’ve partied all night long to “Bad Decisions” and need to cry
This is incredible on all fronts. Well done, The Strokes.
Can’t stop replaying 0:59 - 1:34, the vocals are insane
My cat passed away this weekend. This song is comforting me.
FireUpTheToaster sorry for your loss ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. It gets better eventually.
Sorry to hear that Dude.
Really sorry about your cat. Eternal peace that we know nothing about. We all find out eventually.
My cat died last year. Rafael is right, it gets better in time. You'll remember only the bestest memories.
After a whole day at work acting like everything's great, I am so thankful to have music like this where I can just be melancholy, contemplative, emotional, and lost in my thoughts.
Hello would u look up this song Time by The Impures
