"FORGIVE THEM, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT SORRY" "Anger is weakness, patience is strength." "Sin is honoring desire above what you know is right." Julian really has his shit together
Your faith has got to be greater than your fear If you believe in this world then no one has died in vain But don't you dare get to the top and not know what to do
11 years ago drinking and doing drugs in my bedroom as an 18 year old listening to this song. I am now in Recovery with a year clean and listening to these lyrics now mean something completely different, Really relevant and powerful.
this song is seriously way ahead of its time, I can’t even comprehend how amazing it is. Looking back, it’s sometimes difficult to pinpoint exactly at which moment when you/your life changes forever. But I can for sure say that this song (& it’s POWERFUL lyrics + stunning video) specifically changed me/my perception forever. I am so blessed to experience Julian Casablancas’ art in this lifetime. The man is a straight up LEGEND.
This whole solo album was targeted unintentionally toward coming of age humans. It resonates so much with people finding themselves, and that’s the beauty. He has perfected all the messages and lyrics on every song in this album, and applied his music abilities to make them sound so damn catchy. 11th dimension truly is one of the most surreal and underrated experiences. It’s a shame that most of modern society distracted by music like 6ix 9ine, instead of listening to the Phrazes this man has for the young
His music saved my life. I had young kids right as the Strokes exploded onto the scene. His music was trapped in a time capsule for me, which I had the ever so enjoyable experience of unpacking each record like Christmas presents over this last year. Thank you Jules.

Hace años cuando descubri esta cancion y vi el video con atencion escribi esas frases en una libreta y hasta la fecha sigo regresando a leer mis notas cuando no se que pedo con mi vida
"If you believe in this world, then no one has died in vain." Man that hits hard. I love that as the song progresses, it keeps getting deeper and deeper with its message.
This song has been helping me with my depression and anger so much. Everytime I get pissed off I just hear the line "forgive them even if they are not sorry". I can't believe I went so long without knowing of Julian. His music is incredibly moving
This clip is very interesting. It tells the story of a man in different eras and his level of counsciousness in each of those. His counsciousness is represented when Julian is 'orange' and he talks to himself by touching the dummy. When he reaches the top of the tower, he reached the ultimate level. It gets more interest if you read the phrases of each state and compare it to each other.
Nah. His first idea is him singing with his triple himself the whole video. But he choose this 3 eras instead. Sorry but theres nothing deep about this. Just a "sun" symbolism in the first clip and 11 is a repition number. U should check the Director history. The Director like symbolism aswell like Julian.
Yes, he is the hottest person I can think of... I want him, and given that I can't have him, I wish in my next life I can be as attractive as him but in female form.
I'll just nod, I've never been so good at shaking hands I live on the frozen surface of a fireball Where cities come together to hate each other in the name of sport America, nothing is ever just anything I looked up to you, but you thought I would look the other way And you hear what you want to hear And they take what they want to take Don't be sad, won't ever happen like this anymore So when's it coming, this last new great movement that I can join? It won't end here, your faith has got to be greater than your fear Forgive them, even if they are not sorry All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting You are looking for your own voice but in others While it hears you, trapped in another dimension Drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all of the time I've got a mind full of blanks, I need to go somewhere new fast And don't be shy, oh no, at least deliberately 'Cause no one really cares or wonders why anymore Oh, I got music, coming out of my hands and feet and kisses That is how it once was done All the dreamers on the run Forgive them, even if they are not sorry All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others Complicated mammals on the wings of robots If you believe in this world then no one has died in vain But don't you dare get to the top and not know what to do
@@jaymelt9037 Of course. That's the retro part of "futuristic retro wave". There was already a move towards 80's style music in 2010, but it has become more mainstream since.
Need more cheerful upbeat alternative music like this. Nearly 11 years and this song is still one of my all time favorites. Julian needs to make another solo album!!
Thanks for liking and watching and listening to my songs, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep the support coming?? I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
No matter how old this gets, it's still has its swing and I can't help myself but start rocking my head to how well this song was made everytime I hear it !
Buddhism has the concept of the three poisons, which can be translated anger, desire, and ignorance. These are the three "trials" Julian faces in the MV.
I'm 14 years old, almost 15, and this is one of my favorite songs. Julián has great songs, but this one is special, because it reminds me of my childhood. you are my idol 💕
the truth is life chooses not to listen to words told until its to late and the voice that told them is gone the world would be better if we all listened to the words of this song and the words people tell us
+Alex The Mephistopheles dont lose hope or ambition, its those same sadistic fucks like u that make a difference in the world, all u have to do is find ur voice.
+Cinemaniac Jean forgiveness is the key to everything really, theres no point in hating others, ur just as bad or worse if u go for revenge, and hate really doesnt matter its pointless, so just forgive.

Wow.....there seriously won't ever ever be anyone in this world better of a composer than Julian....I just can't get over how incredibly written and made this. It's far better than a masterpiece and I won't ever forget what he's done for music. Long live Julian Casablancas.
This is incredible. Julian is so talented and he has an incredible voice. Not only that, he's music has substance. I love the message in this song, and the story within the music video. What an incredible artist.
I used to listen to it everyday going to school in my high school days, It's been 7 years but everytime I hear it I feel like a teenager again, living with my parents and waking up early to school. It makes me sad somehow.
Lol, if you forgive the trespassing, they got quantum head start to your future to do it again, but our ancestors are unchained and starving and waiting, lol, double 4 time
This song, man. underrated as fuck. Even if this song gets popular, it wouldn't lose any meaning, i'd click the hell out of the replay button just the same.
I am not 10 years late, I am just 10 years remembering this gem and how far I've come. Reminiscing my teenhood missing the innocence so. 10 years in a relationship, daughter is 5years old. Survived so much financial and covid stresses, siblings suicide, but pushing through to create a better world for our next of kin. "Forgive them even if they aren't not sorry" our kin deserves hope and kindness and I will do my part to ensure they have a chance at that.
Obrigado por gostar, assistir e ouvir minhas músicas, seus comentários e apoio constante me trouxeram até aqui. Continua com o suporte?? Espero que você tenha sido bem entretido ao longo dos anos?
La forma de componer de Julian es algo que nunca voy a poder superar! 🤩 Que nos dure toda la vida por favor! Es que todo le queda bien! Música, letras, voz, hasta el video! Julian= musicasasazo!! 🤟♥️
Tienes toda la razón las canciones de Julian son tan interesantes, sin embargo, todos prefieren Arctic Monkey's y tienen más reproducciones que The Strokes no lo comprendo :c
I've gone down a crazy Strokes rabbit hole in the past 2 weeks, I hadn't thought of them for so long and it turns out they've put out 2 albums since 2011 and then there's this solo record Julian Casablancas put out in 2009. I'm truly addicted to this guy's music now. I read an article about how Julian said they were better than the Killers and how he couldn't understand why they were so big and how he thought the Strokes make better music. I couldn't agree more and it really made me mad that I was listening to the Killers back in 2007 when I could have been listening to a much better band in the Strokes. After Is This It you never heard of them in the news or on radio much. The world is really missing out on this band and dare I say a musical genius in Julian Casablancas. I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I love the Phrazes for the Young album now. I hope he continues to explore and create stuff like this and not get discouraged by critics and the mainstream not noticing. We all know its about promotion rather than what is really good.
I often come back to this song, it brings me back the best memories, the time I spent with one of my best friends whom I haven't seen in a long time while we were drunk, listening to Julian's n' The Strokes, and obviously the strong and beautiful message in this song... gives me calm and strength... I just wanted to write this shit out...
*Forewarning; this is a small close analysis on the song and as such will be far larger then your average comment, if you don't want to read about what the elements in the song represent and could mean, then skip over this comment* What I love about this song is the extremely intricate, clear, and positive meaning and moral of it and its lyrics; it tells a serious story, but its still very uplifting. Basically the tower represents goodness and ascending to being a better person. At the first level we see Julian has to learn that /anger is weakness and passion is strength/. We see this in his earliest flash back to (represented by his black-white Renaissance era scenes) He begins as a new musician and screwed over by the old guy. Instead of lashing out though he persevered on moved on, hence him climbing the first level. /don't be sad/ We see that he also says not to mope about your past failures and beat yourself up about them, this lets him move on the next challenge in his life. Throughout this segment is already hints of the largest challenge that is coming however that is for later. His next flashback in the sequence is set a modern bar and club which is the present; he has to learn that /honoring what we desire above what we know is right, is sin/; seen in him visibly faltering to the cheating girlfriend's advances. (Also note this does take place all in his lifetime as he has now moved on from his greedy agent and has become successful, the reward of the first level. We also know that during this time Julian learnt that he /does not have be smart all the time/ and realized that mistakes are okay. Tying back to the opening point of this paragraph) Julian decides to do what he knows is right above desire and ascends to level two. /don't be shy; at least not deliberately/ Even though people will tempt you with desires and are disappointing, its important not to hide; which is similar to the final and hardest part of the tower. So Julian has ascended what appears to be the height of morality and with his experience and is generally better then most people right? Well that's the final challenge in this song, trapped in an *Ivory Tower* as people are now flocking to him and trying to be like him since he is now an awesome person as can be seen by the banging on the door. Note that Scenes here are set in a Dystopian future; people's sin have ruined them and Julian having not been a complete Arse has been safe from the karma that life sends their way. Julian is well within his right to leave these people out there; after all it was their mistakes that brought them there, even they do not realize it. Hence his lack of punishment for his letting that normal guy die; however we also see him beginning to stagnate with his music and talent as he hides away. Eventually he realizes the final and most difficult lesson. /forgive them, even if they are not sorry/. Its important that we don't hold on to hate or cynicism and isolate ourselves, though you may only do the right thing for those you care about and yourself, you will never quite reach Utopia. Julian here learns Altruism and he relents and lets in the Cheating girlfriend and Greedy agent into his shelter, saving them from their sin. We see Julian learn his final and most difficult lesson and ascend to Heaven. Overall the song covers elements of Julian's life as we follow his career; he began with difficulties before becoming successful, we then see him relaxing in his tower which represents him just enjoying his fortune and life's work and stopping his music writing. It covers important morals in life, to be patient as it will bring one good things, to be conscientious and do whats right despite what you may want, and finally that Altruism will set you free and isolating yourself will only leave you miserable. SUPERB WORK ON THE LYRICS AND VIDEO WHOEVER WROTE IT! (and thank-you for reading this far, viewer, I hope the analysis gave the song deeper meaning for you.)
A quarantine discovery for me too! Just purchased The Strokes full catalog. I'm the dude that says I love you on the second date...haha! Greetings from the great state of California.
Wow☺ So wise and melodic. And the clip is awesome! Does not get older. Julian has some kind of magic when he stares, and in the way he (doesn' t) move. I love his quietness.

This song!!! I'm in love with it! I am a life long fan of Julian Casablancas! 💋❤️ He has helped me all the way, inspired my band Midnight Worries and through his band The Strokes, he has given me hope. Thank you so much to Julian And The Strokes ❤️💗💓 I love you

"Anger is weakness, patience is strength."

Julian really has his shit together
"When city comes together to hate each other in the name of sports"" so true
Every positive action has a reward
We are so quick to point out our own flaws in others
Shut up .l.
Your faith has got to be greater than your fear
If you believe in this world then no one has died in vain

Where cities come together to hate each other in the name of sport
America, nothing is ever just anything
I looked up to you, but you thought I would look the other way
And you hear what you want to hear
And they take what they want to take
Don't be sad, won't ever happen like this anymore

It won't end here, your faith has got to be greater than your fear
Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting
You are looking for your own voice but in others
While it hears you, trapped in another dimension
Drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all of the time
I've got a mind full of blanks, I need to go somewhere new fast
And don't be shy, oh no, at least deliberately
'Cause no one really cares or wonders why anymore
Oh, I got music, coming out of my hands and feet and kisses
That is how it once was done
All the dreamers on the run
Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting
We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others
Complicated mammals on the wings of robots
If you believe in this world then no one has died in vain
But don't you dare get to the top and not know what to do

*i can't find any new material from him tho😕*
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in a long long time, maybe ever
Yeah!!
lol
I just need to say again how insanely HoT Julian is in this video. Lyric and whole video composition is great, I love Love this song!!
How to forget when julian invented a new genre, the futuristic retro wave aesthetic, that took me to another level boy.
This song is in the past and in the future at same time !
Others were doing this all over Europe prior to him from the 1980s forward. He is top of the heap in talent for sure tho
How could you forget?
@@jaymelt9037 Of course. That's the retro part of "futuristic retro wave". There was already a move towards 80's style music in 2010, but it has become more mainstream since.
He didn’t invent the genre but he absolutely propelled the crap out of it. What a legend ❤❤
Julian has some pretty sweet microphone tricks.

we rock!

Need more cheerful upbeat alternative music like this. Nearly 11 years and this song is still one of my all time favorites. Julian needs to make another solo album!!
the definition of emotional philosophy in music is this. Let's hope this album can be recognized as it should be one day.

Big disagree
have you ever heard 10 lovers from the black keys? that song is underrated too
How can it be underrated if it’s Julian’s most popular song

I'm 30, grew up with 80s music, have always loved it. stumbled on Julian last night, with "instant crush"... he has gained another fan

*ugh, yes ! "Instant Crush" is definitely my favorite right next to this one*
"Forgive them, even if they are not sorry"
Definitely law of life, we'd live better if we applied it.
the truth is life chooses not to listen to words told until its to late and the voice that told them is gone
the world would be better if we all listened to the words of this song and the words people tell us
+Alex The Mephistopheles
dont lose hope or ambition, its those same sadistic fucks like u that make a difference in the world, all u have to do is find ur voice.
+Cinemaniac Jean
forgiveness is the key to everything really, theres no point in hating others, ur just as bad or worse if u go for revenge, and hate really doesnt matter its pointless, so just forgive.
+Cinemaniac Jean
what do u mean
I came for that quote:3
Why have I not discovered Julian Casablancas earlier. Pure gold
You found him now and that’s all that matters.
Lyrics
I'll just nod, I've never been so good at shaking hands
I live on the frozen surface of a fireball
Where cities come together to hate each other in the name of sport
America, nothing is ever just anything
I looked up to you, but you thought I would look the other way
And you hear what you want to hear
And they take what they want to take
Don't be sad, won't ever happen like this anymore
So when's it coming, this last new great movement that I can join?
It won't end here, your faith has got to be greater than your fear
Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting
You are looking for your own voice but in others
While it hears you, trapped in another dimension
Drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all of the time
I've got a mind full of blanks, I need to go somewhere new fast
And don't be shy, oh no, at least deliberately
'Cause no one really cares or wonders why anymore
Oh, I got music, coming out of my hands and feet and kisses, woo
That is how it once was done
All the dreamers on the run
Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting
We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others
Complicated mammals on the wings of robots
If you believe in this world then no one has died in vain
But don't you dare get to the top and not know what to do
Wow.....there seriously won't ever ever be anyone in this world better of a composer than Julian....I just can't get over how incredibly written and made this. It's far better than a masterpiece and I won't ever forget what he's done for music. Long live Julian Casablancas.
some real awesome positivity from one of New York's brightest artists ... FU%$ YEAH!!
This dude is a legend, god damn... if this song and music video were released today it would go viral.
I didn't realize how deep and introspective this song truly was before watching the music video and looking deeper into the lyrics
This is incredible. Julian is so talented and he has an incredible voice. Not only that, he's music has substance. I love the message in this song, and the story within the music video. What an incredible artist.
jules looks bloody good as an 1800's opera guy, omg
Yes! Also in The Strokes' Under Cover of Darkness.. He really looks good as a renaissance man :D
i think this is the definition of cool
julian is the actual definition of cool
i've watched this mv way too many times for the past 5 or so years and i'm still impressed by Julian's juggling skills
Esta canción me sigue emocionando como la primera vez.
Last weekend i went to a bar with some friends in Paris and there was this song playing, man I was so happy
Well that made me smile I hope your doing great 2020
i'd be so happy man
whaaat
Raconte pas ta vie
You live and you learn, thank you Julian Casablancas
i love this freaking song so much i think its the greatest song ever written like i cant stop thinking about this song
"I just nod, I've never been so good at shaking hands"
Currently... WE ALL NOD
I used to listen to it everyday going to school in my high school days, It's been 7 years but everytime I hear it I feel like a teenager again, living with my parents and waking up early to school. It makes me sad somehow.
Am i the only one that was brought to tears by this?
I've always liked Julian's "Phrazes for the Young." Should do solo stuff again!
Julian te veré en 5 mesesSSSSS! Lollapalooza Chile 2014!
"Forgive them even if they're not sorry"
My man is speaking facts
Lol, if you forgive the trespassing, they got quantum head start to your future to do it again, but our ancestors are unchained and starving and waiting, lol, double 4 time
Yessss
I've been listening to this song non stop since I discovered it yesterday
Know that feeling - it's great :)
As a caution to people overplaying it: I been listening to it for over year later and it is still awesome!
Expect this to be a constant thing in your life, even after a while you'll still find yourself coming back.
Still?
This video is basically "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" condensed into 5 minutes. I love it.
Song: 11th Dimension, Released: 11 years ago, Views: 11 Million........
It's pretty cool
Blow my mind
That's what I just noticed to haha
did you copy this comment or was it just a coincidence?
@@theasiainnovationairtechco2660 nope it was a coincidence
This song, man. underrated as fuck. Even if this song gets popular, it wouldn't lose any meaning, i'd click the hell out of the replay button just the same.
I am not 10 years late, I am just 10 years remembering this gem and how far I've come. Reminiscing my teenhood missing the innocence so. 10 years in a relationship, daughter is 5years old. Survived so much financial and covid stresses, siblings suicide, but pushing through to create a better world for our next of kin. "Forgive them even if they aren't not sorry" our kin deserves hope and kindness and I will do my part to ensure they have a chance at that.
Wishing you all the best ✨
Descubrí a Julián Casablancas hace poco y estoy enamorada de su voz, su estilo y la música es increíble, me encanta!!!
The strokes y The voidz.
Obrigado por gostar, assistir e ouvir minhas músicas, seus comentários e apoio constante me trouxeram até aqui. Continua com o suporte?? Espero que você tenha sido bem entretido ao longo dos anos?

La forma de componer de Julian es algo que nunca voy a poder superar! 🤩 Que nos dure toda la vida por favor! Es que todo le queda bien! Música, letras, voz, hasta el video! Julian= musicasasazo!! 🤟♥️
@Tania siii amiga lo sé!! ✨ Cosa bien hecha el Jules!! 🤟🏻
It’s criminal that this music video doesn’t have way more views. The video and song are amazing.
I feel like he could have been an amazing 80's movie kid actor.
esto debería tener mas visitas, me sorprende las pocas reproducciones de este tremendo tema
esta tema releaciona tanto con el corrupcion de Mexico.
Greed, Hate, selfish actions. Its up to the community to fix the problem not the rich.
Tienes toda la razón las canciones de Julian son tan interesantes, sin embargo, todos prefieren Arctic Monkey's y tienen más reproducciones que The Strokes no lo comprendo :c
Victor Perez me gustan mucho las canciones de julian y prefiero que este asi a que se vuelva comercial
Daniel Vicente pero si es comercial xd, tal vez mantenerlo en el under dices tu
Que no te sorprenda. De hecho esta canción apesta y no debería ser reconocida. Nada comparado a The Strokes.
I've gone down a crazy Strokes rabbit hole in the past 2 weeks, I hadn't thought of them for so long and it turns out they've put out 2 albums since 2011 and then there's this solo record Julian Casablancas put out in 2009. I'm truly addicted to this guy's music now. I read an article about how Julian said they were better than the Killers and how he couldn't understand why they were so big and how he thought the Strokes make better music. I couldn't agree more and it really made me mad that I was listening to the Killers back in 2007 when I could have been listening to a much better band in the Strokes. After Is This It you never heard of them in the news or on radio much. The world is really missing out on this band and dare I say a musical genius in Julian Casablancas. I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I love the Phrazes for the Young album now. I hope he continues to explore and create stuff like this and not get discouraged by critics and the mainstream not noticing. We all know its about promotion rather than what is really good.
You should listen to Albert Hammond Jr.'s solo stuff as well. It's amazing!
también creo q se ha ido perdiendo a los strkes son una gran banda y siempre los escuchare
Exactly.
Brandon flowers (the killers) is a great fucking writer (and singer) btw, particularly when you dig deep in a killers album and his solo stuff.
Dude I love your comment it said everything I wanted to say thank you
Is it just me or does Julian look wayy better without sunglasses?
kind of but still snl made him that way.... I think I bet not but still he I gess looks beter with them off
I often come back to this song, it brings me back the best memories, the time I spent with one of my best friends whom I haven't seen in a long time while we were drunk, listening to Julian's n' The Strokes, and obviously the strong and beautiful message in this song... gives me calm and strength... I just wanted to write this shit out...
I don't even know what happens in the videoclip. I spent all the song looking at how beautiful he is.
His voice makes everybody fall in love with him
Like wow...
Julian is that of :"one of a kind"
this song is heaven
Fanny Fressa he kinda sounds like the strokes, in my opinion
Because he is the lead singer of the Strokes, I'm a dumbass
Ted Mosby haha.. you figured it out
Yoo that organ cuh ❤❤
love this. he expresses what basically every musician feels.
“we’re so quick to point out our own flaws in others” :(
*Forewarning; this is a small close analysis on the song and as such will be far larger then your average comment, if you don't want to read about what the elements in the song represent and could mean, then skip over this comment*
What I love about this song is the extremely intricate, clear, and positive meaning and moral of it and its lyrics; it tells a serious story, but its still very uplifting.
Basically the tower represents goodness and ascending to being a better person. At the first level we see Julian has to learn that /anger is weakness and passion is strength/. We see this in his earliest flash back to (represented by his black-white Renaissance era scenes) He begins as a new musician and screwed over by the old guy. Instead of lashing out though he persevered on moved on, hence him climbing the first level.
/don't be sad/
We see that he also says not to mope about your past failures and beat yourself up about them, this lets him move on the next challenge in his life. Throughout this segment is already hints of the largest challenge that is coming however that is for later. His next flashback in the sequence is set a modern bar and club which is the present; he has to learn that /honoring what we desire above what we know is right, is sin/; seen in him visibly faltering to the cheating girlfriend's advances. (Also note this does take place all in his lifetime as he has now moved on from his greedy agent and has become successful, the reward of the first level. We also know that during this time Julian learnt that he /does not have be smart all the time/ and realized that mistakes are okay. Tying back to the opening point of this paragraph) Julian decides to do what he knows is right above desire and ascends to level two.
/don't be shy; at least not deliberately/
Even though people will tempt you with desires and are disappointing, its important not to hide; which is similar to the final and hardest part of the tower.
So Julian has ascended what appears to be the height of morality and with his experience and is generally better then most people right? Well that's the final challenge in this song, trapped in an *Ivory Tower* as people are now flocking to him and trying to be like him since he is now an awesome person as can be seen by the banging on the door. Note that Scenes here are set in a Dystopian future; people's sin have ruined them and Julian having not been a complete Arse has been safe from the karma that life sends their way.
Julian is well within his right to leave these people out there; after all it was their mistakes that brought them there, even they do not realize it. Hence his lack of punishment for his letting that normal guy die; however we also see him beginning to stagnate with his music and talent as he hides away. Eventually he realizes the final and most difficult lesson. /forgive them, even if they are not sorry/.
Its important that we don't hold on to hate or cynicism and isolate ourselves, though you may only do the right thing for those you care about and yourself, you will never quite reach Utopia. Julian here learns Altruism and he relents and lets in the Cheating girlfriend and Greedy agent into his shelter, saving them from their sin. We see Julian learn his final and most difficult lesson and ascend to Heaven.
Overall the song covers elements of Julian's life as we follow his career; he began with difficulties before becoming successful, we then see him relaxing in his tower which represents him just enjoying his fortune and life's work and stopping his music writing. It covers important morals in life, to be patient as it will bring one good things, to be conscientious and do whats right despite what you may want, and finally that Altruism will set you free and isolating yourself will only leave you miserable.
SUPERB WORK ON THE LYRICS AND VIDEO WHOEVER WROTE IT!

Sin is Honoring Desire Above What You Know is Right
hi, im german, im trying to translate this sentence in german,but 100% i dont have it, can you help me? what means sin is honoring desire? thanks
+Christoph Grambach this sentence means that sinning is doing what you desire even if you know deep down that it isn't right
ah ok, i understand, thanks for translating
Christoph Grambach you're welcome :) its truly a beautiful sentence, you have to love Jules for it :P
This is one of my all time fave song. Too iconic he’s just too talented !
This song!!! I'm in love with it!
I am a life long fan of Julian Casablancas! 💋❤️
He has helped me all the way, inspired my band Midnight Worries and through his band The Strokes, he has given me hope.
Thank you so much to Julian And The Strokes ❤️💗💓
I love you
Incredible lyrics, awesome tune
i’ve probably watched this about 40 times now it never gets old
Everything else goes away when this song is playing.
I've listened to this song so many times, and I just started to randomly tear up in the end.
This song it sounds a God's message 2024.
This song is a masterpiece, also Julian, he's perfect
