Julian Casablancas, "Out Of The Blue" (2009)

find it on Phrazes For The Young

I'm suspending for a second that I don't like trying to analyze what people are saying in songs for this one, because it seems so obvious that Julian Casblancas is writing a Behind The Music: The Strokes here. Success, pleasure, vengeance, bitterness, madness at critics, and mistakes and apologies made...it's the entire story of the hype and hate directed at The Strokes for 8 years.

But no matter how much JC's rollercoaster ride nauseates him, it's a thrill for us. The driving glory of the chorus could sweeten up any bile. Don't miss the guitar step squeal it's way to an thrilling peak at 3:35.
