    Thank you, this strengthens my theory that The Strokes and JC's partnership with DaftPunk reshaped pop music in the last 5 years thanks to their massive impact since their debut. The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Tame Impala, Sam Fender, Clairo's Sophia, Ed Sheeran, etc. have all sounded like them in some of their songs. Also, they saved rock with "Is This It". Good work.

    [Verse 1]
    Holdin' me back
    Gravity's holdin' me back
    I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
    Why don't we leave it at that?
    Nothin' to say
    When everything gets in the way
    Seems you cannot be replaced
    And I'm the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh
    [Chorus]
    In this world, it's just us
    You know it's not the same as it was
    In this world, it's just us
    You know it's not the same as it was
    As it was, as it was
    You know it's not the same
    [Verse 2]
    Answer the phone
    "Harry, you're no good alone
    Why are you sitting at home on the floor?
    What kind of pills are you on?"
    Ringin' the bell
    And nobody's coming to help
    Your daddy lives by himself
    He just wants to know that you're well, oh-oh-oh
    [Chorus]
    In this world, it's just us
    You know it's not the same as it was
    In this world, it's just us
    You know it's not the same as it was
    As it was, as it was
    You know it's not the same
    [Bridge]
    Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet
    I don't wanna talk about the way that it was
    Leave America, two kids follow her
    I don't wanna talk about who's doin' it first
    [Break]
    I don't, I don't want anything
    I know it's not, it's not your fault
    I don't want anyone

    You know what i love the most about this cover? That the synthpop era of The Strokes (Angles, CM, TNA) is finally ACCEPTED BY FANS AND CRITICS! As much as i love the first 2 iconic garage lo-fi Stroke albums this new era (glossy production, arpeggiator synths, insane falsettos) speaks to my soul! Best thing I've heard in 2022! No joke, you are talented af! From your producing skills to the instrument/singing execution! Already hungry for more!!!
