Hard to Explain Lyrics (by The Strokes):

Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Try to take control
Oh I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young and they are too old
Oh man, can't you see, I'm nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice so I can be mean
I missed the last bus, we'll take the next train
I'll try, but you see, it's hard to explain

Everytime I think this band reaches the peak of creativity they surprise me more and more, this music video is a masterpiece, I love this band so much. <3

[priscillachant]

seeing death try to skateboard was actually so cute omg

[peterspeeder]

Still one of the most unappreciated bands of our generation. So glad I discovered them.

[geager]

this music video is, no exaggeration, one of the most personally meaningful pieces of media I've ever seen.

[jaimeduran]

One thing that I real love about being a gamer is that I have discovered good music like this band, they participated in skate story, truly amazing indie game. Loving their vibe so far

[erickarenas]

Very nice rendition guys ✌🏼 Twenty years later, The Strokes keep influencing younger bands

[Dutch_Engineer_Piff_Dahnk]

Beyond glad this turned out to be a strokes cover

My favorite version

[tooberetta]

I love the quote at the end.
"To practice death is to practice freedom.
A man who has learned how to die
has unlearned how to be slave."

[NursatSt]

Underrated song (definition) - most people do not recognize how good that music really is

[KrystianGage]

Clicked because it had the same name as one of my favorite songs, stayed because it was a COVER of one of my favorite songs. Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for this.

[OtherwiseFine]

The only thing this masterpiece is missing is a shot of Eric Koston yelling at death to do a kickflip

[NightmarishWaltz]

Man, gotta love death, my favorite character ever.

[issrezzz]

still can’t get over how beautiful this cover is, arguably one of the craziest strokes cover ever made + 11/10 video 💯💯💯

[Anna-tkui]

Thank you for continuing to make music in these hard times. Personally, it's helped me a lot and lots of other people as well. I hope all of you are healthy and keep going. You'll make it big one day.

[murtazabadri]

I have literal tears in my eyes right now this is absolutely beautiful y'all have outdid yourselves again

[Shiro_Mazoku]

God dang I have seen two videos from this band and I am in The sounds they create with the instruments, synths, effects, their voices are amazingly nostalgic but new at the same time. Ugh and the visuals in this and set it on fire LOVE THIS. New favorite band 💘✨

[whysoenvious]

This song has been on my playlists now for 2 years and truly relate back to it periodically.. the concept is true and the emanating truth of individualism finding yourself and the fears with it circle back to a growth of cycle but you keep continuing to the next day. Beautiful

[axelhoyos]

Every song of your two albums, I love it. Definitely my favorite band

[benjmiester]

11 months ago? How the hell did I miss this?! Better late than never!

[insensitiveshrimp]

All of your songs and music videos are amazing. I didn't see something so special in a long time. It made me feel like a kid in a candy store. Really appreciate what you do.
