The Strokes: translation and meaning of Bad decisions

  • Bad Decisions is a single by The Strokes, a tribute to Billy Idol.
  • The song has an atmosphere reminiscent of Green Day at the beginning.
  • Addresses difficult decisions and personal experiences of Julian Casablancas.
  • The new album, The New Abnormal, improves on the quality of his previous works.

A bad decisions what happens to The adults are talking. Bad decisions is another one of those welcome advances but that, deep down, we wish we hadn't heard so that today, April 10, we could enjoy the greatest number of unreleased minutes in the The Strokes new album The new abnormal. bad decisions is an undisguised homage to Billy Idol's punk anthem, dancing with myself, where Julian Casablancas, in addition to dancing alone and sad, makes many mistakes and is not afraid to confess. Of course, the fault is hers.

Criticism of Bad decisions, the most poppy single de The new abnormal

Personally, it isleast brilliant of the songs on the new Strokes album. WE OPEN UMBRELLA: bad decisions is perhaps the least inspired and most poppy/soft rock-pop of all the songs The new abnormal.

This doesn't mean we don't like it.

In its first bars, both for atmosphere, voice and riff, bad decisions sounds like a decaffeinated song Green Day. That said, as the seconds progress, things improve.

Submitted about a month ago durante a rally of the former Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States Bernie Sanders, ironically today we have been able to confirm that good Bernie Sanders ran out of tickets in that raffle. The Strokes, on the other hand, have had their musical career invigorated, and in what way, with today's release of The new abnormal, an album that notably raises the average quality of its previous Angles y Comedown Machine.

The title of bad decisions couldn't be clearer. bad decisions confirms the confessional path begun with selfless Brooklyn bridge to chorusJulian Casablancas has made bad decisions. Again it becomes inevitable to remember his divorce last year, after 14 years of marriage and two children with Juliet Joslin.

Translation of bad decisions

Dropped down the lights, I'm sitting with you
Moscow, 1972
Always singin' in my sleep
I will leave it in my dreams

Lights out, I'm sitting next to you
Moscow, 1972
Always singing in dreams
I'll leave it to my dreams (allusion to Leave it in my dreams, song by The Voidz with a 100% pure aroma of The Strokes as we already warned in its day in this special article of songs by The Voidz who sound like The Strokes).

I wanna write down every word
But do me in favor when you come through
When I look around, don't wanna see you
I don't take advice from fools
Never listening to you

When I look around I don't want to see you
I don't take advice from fools
I will never listen to you
