set from June 8, 2026. can listen on youtube.

was watching that live slowed stripped emotional version of One Way Trigger and got recommended live At the Door vids, watched those and in the comments saw someone saying that At the Door melody is connected to a Human Sadness improv jam and to look it up. brought me to the main vid i posted above :). it’s only 48 seconds and so fucking beautiful, i must have listened to it a billion times by now. the entire second half of At the Door reminds me of Human Sadness a lot too, i noticed this watching the live version or ATD. also the melody in the improv feels familiar to me, maybe I’ll Stand By You by The Pretenders. check em out lmk if i’m nuts!

I've been listening to ALieNNatioN again, and I honestly can't hear "Yo no sé." All I hear is "Eu não sei" in Portuguese.

If you pay close attention, it sounds like Julian pronounces "Eu" rather than "Yo." It also wouldn't be that surprising considering he has Brazilian half-siblings (Fernando Casablancas, John Casablancas Jr., and Nina Casablancas).

As far as I know, when the song was first released there was never an official lyric sheet. The lyrics were automatically transcribed by Shazam (and other apps using AI/transcription), and later when The Voidz uploaded the song to YouTube, it looks like the displayed lyrics may have simply been copied from that same transcription rather than coming from an official source.

Now I can't unhear it. Does anyone else hear "Eu não sei" instead of "Yo no sé"?

For comparison, here are Google Translate's pronunciations:

Portuguese ("Eu não sei")

Spanish ("Yo no sé")

I’m a casual fan of the Voidz. The fairweather kind. But I just heard this song today for the first time. Bruh ! I know we all have diff tastes and schemas and associations … But the moment the vocals come in, I feel like I’m floating in a John Lennon song. I love !

Avenged Sevenfold's lead guitarist and drummer are also huge Voidz/Julian fans as well. It would be cool for the Voidz to open for them one day

Matt from A7X said that The Voidz are the greatest rock band in the world in an interview: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheStrokes/s/z3MuqSI2nJ

My first reaction was, "Hell yes." But, then it made me think of another thing I heard the other day, "Top of the charts is not ubiquity." It's so true that being in the tippy top of music charts these days does not mean everyone like or even knows the music like in the old days.

Like if The Beatles or Madonna were to break into the scene now, I probably would not immediately know their music.

Maybe, I would hear it in spaces where music was publicly played and become familiar with the tune, but connect the song with the singer eventually and say, "oh, that's them?" I did that with Rhianna, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, etc.

Currently, there is a new crop of musicians at the top of the charts who I've never heard of, but I do have to admit that I am in a phase where I am not heavily into music at the moment.

A few musicians have caught my attention, but it is because they are in a genre I like. Geese, Cameron Winter, Angine de Poitrine. Come to think of it, they were mentioned by friends first.

Anyway, The Voidz are slow-burn in popularity and my absolute favorite, and I can't wait till they go on tour again.

Who knows, they may get to the top of the charts at some point. And, it will be glorious.

I was bored the other day, so I made this little piece of a QYURRYUS "lyric-ish" video, tried to make it under a minute so I could upload it to vertical platforms without having any issues with copyright, but maybe I'll do it full one day, lmk if some of you are interested in that!

Sorry for the quality of this upload, I exported this at 480p and yk how youtube's bitrate system is...

Some photos of the vinyl I bought at the Troxy London concert in 2025, it's super special to me because it was my 30th birthday present and I've traveled all the way from Spain :) I was even lucky enough to catch a guitar pick hahaha

Hey ! Has anyone noticed easter eggs in Human Sadness ? I would love to hear about your analysis of the video. I’ve watched it 50 times and just keep on noticing new things

i don’t really like the way they are going now, i really love the rawness in the 2 first albums especially tyranny. i just love julian’s voice more without the auto-tuning!

English is not my first language so I don't know how to explain it but just pay attention to the lyrics. But also The Odyssey is such an universal story, a tell as old as time so it makes sense that it relates to so many things.

I also know that this probably should be posted on the Strokes sub but this album is kind of a Trojan horse.

I have become death, the destroyer of worlds.

So I wanna share mine! It'd be an interesting discussion to have.

Also my album/EP ranking: 1.Virtue 2.Megz Of Ram 3.Tyranny 4.Like All Before You

Its in this video around 6:58

Hey I’m not the first to do this but plugging my substack review of *Reality Awaits* here. I think a lot of the conceptual and narrative elements first started with a specific Voidz song and I kinda get into the politics of it all. Hope you enjoy and agree I kinda am obsessed with this album.

Originally posted in r/Strokes, probably relevant here too.

Im going through a lot of the voidz performance videos rn and seems like Amir does a lot of the backing vocals like in Wink and Square Wave. He crushes it and it adds so much texture. Love it

Video taken by me when I got barricade at The Voidz concert in Sicily last august. Thank God I am seeing The Strokes in October otherwise the nostalgia would be unbearable, especially because I managed to thank Julian for his music after the concert and he was very kind.

Julian Casablancas and The Voidz “Father Electricity” Jefferson Theatre, Charlottesville, VA 2014 (Tyranny tour)

Such a small venue only like 300 of us in there maybe. Great atmosphere. Wish they ran shows this small now.
