Video e Testo: THE STROKES – “New “Ode to the Mets”

Nuovo video per gli Strokes  per il brano Ode to the Mets.

Il video è stato scritto e diretto dal collaboratore di lunga data Warren Fu, che ha diretto l’iconico video “You Only Live Once”. Unisce CGI e animazione tradizionale, con diversi artisti incaricati di progettare “stanze” attraverso le quali la telecamera fluttua attraverso. Guarda sotto.

“Ode to the Mets” è la traccia di chiusa dell’ultimo album della band ” The New Abnormal” (leggi la recensione). 

IL TESTO 

Up on his horse, up on his horse
Not gonna wake up here anymore
Listen one time, it’s not the truth
It’s just a story, I tell to you
Easy to say, easy to do
But it’s not easy, well, maybe for you
Hope that you find it, hope that it’s good
Hope that you read it, think that you should
Cuts you some slack as he sits back
Sizes you up, plans his attack
Ah-da-da
Drums please, Fab
And I got it all, I got it all
Waiting for me down on the street
But now you gotta do somethin’ special for me
I’m gonna say what’s on my mind
Then I’ll walk out, then I’ll feel fine
Yeah, I’m under his thumb, I’m on his back
I will not show my teeth too quick
I needed you there, I needed you there
But I didn’t know, I didn’t know
Go alone
I’ll go alone
We’ll go alone
I’ll go alone
Back from his trip, he’s at the door
When he gets back, he’s on the phone
Innocent eye, innocent heart
No, it’s not wrong, but it’s not right
Innocent time out on his own
Not got gonna do that, I’m out of control
I was just bored playin’ the guitar
Learned all your tricks, wasn’t too hard
It’s the last one now, I can promise you that
I’m gonna find out the truth when I get back
Gone now are the old times
Forgotten, time to hold on the railing
The Rubix cube isn’t solving for us
Old friends, long forgotten
The old ways at the bottom
Of the ocean now has swallowed
The only thing that’s left
Is us, so pardon the silence
That you’re hearing is turning
Into a deafening, painful, shameful roar
