The last single by New York indie rockers The Strokes epitomises the New York music sound. Simple but effective guitar riffs and sarcastic lyrics, and a very 1970´s image is what these guys are all about. Taken from the album First Impressions Of Earth, this song, You Only Live Once has been their last successful single from 2006. They first came to fame in 2001 with their number one album Is This It?
I love this song because of the guitar riff and the music video where the room where they are performing the song slowly fills with water at the end of the song.
Again, this shows that selective types of music can also be very commercial, a sign of good musicians.
