Biography

The Strokes are an American rock band from New York City. Formed in 1998, the band is composed of singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. Following the conclusion of five-album deals with RCA and Rough Trade, the band has continued to release new music through Casablancas' Cult Records. The band's debut album, Is This It (2001), was met with widespread critical acclaim and helped usher in the garage rock revival movement of the early 21st century; it was ranked No. 8 on Rolling Stone's 100 "Best Debut Albums of All Time", No. 2 on Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums of the '00s", No. 199 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and No. 4 on NME's "Top 500 Albums of All Time".

LYRICS

Soma is what they would take when hard times opened their eyes
Saw pain in a new way
High stakes for a few names
Racing against sunbeams
Losing against their dreams
In your eyes, I am
Stop, and go
In your eyes, I am
Stop, and go
In your eyes

Lets go

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 and he walks out
Somehow he was trying too hard to be like them
And I am
Stop, and go
In your eyes, and I am
Stop and darling let me go

Try it once and they liked it, and try to hide it
Says I've been doing this twenty-five years
Well I'm not listening no more
And these friends they keep asking for more
Oh yeah
Oh but thats it
