You Only Live Once

I didn't make commentary on the first leaked Strokes track, but this one is a winner. "You Only Live Once" isn't the stylistic leap of "Juicebox", no fuzzed out bass or hard rock riffs here. The sound is much more dense and the rhythm section remains quite interesting. Julian Casablancas sound different too, pleasantly so. The song could have used a bridge, it sounds quite short, but it's still a great song. As far as the lyrics go, seems like a social commentary perhaps.

" A man don't notice what they got
Uh, women think of that a lot
One thousand ways to please your man, oh
And every one requires a plan, I know
And countless tired religions too
It doesn't matter which you choose (oh no)
One stubborn way to turn your back, oh
I guess I've tried and I refuse, oh"

Social Commentary?

I'm hosting the file for your pleasure.
