Why are sundays so depressing It is one of the riskiest bets of the The Strokes new album The new abnormal, given the instrumental emptiness of the song. Just a guitar line with some backing, some simple drums and lots of synths that sound a bit like choking geese. It does have a very Lou Reed bit to it though. And all to speak of the long Sundays of tedium and boredom that haunted Julian when he wasn't a rock star.
Why are sundays so depressing: 5 songs in 1
Julian casablancas he reviews his life before success, when too much free time was detrimental. in why are sundays so depressing Casablancas even says that he misses having a normal job. Clearly, he doesn't know what he's saying.
The most remarkable aspect of the song is its constant change. At no time does he settle into a single sound or structure. In a way, there are four or five songs by The Strokes contained in Why are sundays so depressing, a theme that at times reminds 12: 51, but also Someday and many clear influences from The Voidz (the borders between The Strokes and The Voidz than with this disc). Not to mention the exceptional final stretch with a magical guitar solo. as usual Albert hammond jr.

[Verse 1]
I sing a song, I paint a picture
My baby's gone, but I don't miss her
Like a swan, I don't miss swimming
All my friends left, and they don't miss me

My baby is gone but I don't miss her
Like a swan, I don't miss swimming
All my friends are gone, and they don't miss me
