8:58 that unintended guitar slide sound is awesome. This song sounds really raw and less produced. I love it.

Never thought I'd be able to get this level of analysis from one of my favourite artist's songs. Many thanks Chris!!!
Regarding Julian's voice evolution: The first 2 records were made pretty much back to back and with the same producer, so they sound really similar and his style didn't really change. He was also still suffering from alcoholism. He quit booze before the third album, First Impressions of Earth, and that's where you see him start to experiment and evolve his vocals, but still no head voice. There's even a lyric "you taught me how to sing" where I wonder if he is actually referring to vocal coaching. In the 4th album Angles on the first track his head voice appears, pretty close to the way it is now, but it's buried in vocal layers. In Taken for a Fool the clean mixed voice is out in full force though. Then in the 5th album Comedown Machine, the head voice is the dominant vocal layer in the first track Tap Out, and the final track Call It Fate, Call It Karma, he finally lets his head voice ring out unaccompanied in what sounds like an amazing 50's Hawaiian ballad. He has further refined and experimented since then, but I think the bulk of the change happens between First Impressions, Angles, and Comedown Machine.

Brodood, you are the absolute best. Your deep dive into perhaps the greatest sonic moment in Strokes history (âI donât want aanyyyyonnnneâ) is pure gold. Love the masterclass on that micromoment. Thatâs what makes you the king. You are not just covering the bases. You head into the weeds as needed. Thank for you that.

I think the feeling I get from the songs from this album is vulnerable. He's singing with parts of his voice that are probably not his most comfortable, but very very appropriate for the feeling of the song. This song in particular, being about the nuance and complexities of close relationships where you may value the relationship itself over the consist adherence to your choices and principles and accepting that you'll get another chance to do things "right" down the line. It just matches very well.

Awesome video! If youâre interested in your spare time I definitely recommend checking out the SNL performance of this song. Julian adds more verses at the end of the song and his vocals really shine through in this performance in particular. Anyways keep these vids coming these breakdowns are so cool!

At The Door. That's where it's at. There are no drums and I think it's Julians most beautiful performance, at least with the strokes
