"Julian was writing cool songs before he even knew what he was doing, when he only knew how to play on one string," -Nick |
when I saw her for the first time lips moved as her eyes closed heard something in his voice "And I'll be there" he says then he walks out |

not silence or simon and garfunkel. lemme just say i know very little about music in an any proper sense, so what i say in the little "my 2 cents" section may not in fact make sense, (ha isn't there some literary word for what just happened there?) but read it anyway and try to get what i'm trying to say...and thanks to various sites for info and lyrics...so many i can't remember...but the bit at the top is my own thoughts and stuff or quoted from other places...ahhh..dunno where i'm going with that...anyway click the arrow for lyrics (which in the spirit of this website, couldn't be any more unofficial by the way, Julian would probably slap me across the face with a dead fish for shitting on his work if he ever read this) and don't forget Leonie's super-terrific and drunk-sounding commentary. (DISCLAIMER: Let me just say, i was reading over my commentary on the songs... and i'm a fucking idiot. It is impossible to describe a strokes song and give its due justice...dunno why i thought i could...anyway, still i tried, did the best i could... but the only way to truly appreciate them is to hear the music *stamps foot*.) |
