Yo Groundhog evening, dancing on the ceiling “Bad Decisions” is, according to band member Albert Hammond Jr., the first official single from The Strokes sixth studio album The New Abnormal. Do you remember what you said to me? It also speaks to these big, collective decisions we seem to be making, be it in elections or whatever, that some people view as great and some people view as terrible, but ultimately we all have to live through. [Pre-Chorus] @billymouchta @migrainegonads they actually interpolated the song’s melody and credited Idol as a writer! Is this right, Nick Valensi on Drums and Fab Moretti on Bass?? I don't wanna fall in love, not with you Bad decisions that we made They later premiered the song and its music video on February 18, 2020. This musical pattern falls in line with the greater lyrical message of each corresponding verse. Take a bow for the bad decisions that we made Each verse leaves Dan in a reflective state, only to arguably be dismissive by the time of the chorus and post-chorus, singing: And if we’re going down in flames So we'll make the same mistakes She don't even know me 'Cause we lost track of time I done tried it once before (Till the morning breaks) This even despite The Strokes waiting for something to work, they realise a portion of fans will never be satisfied that their new music living up to earlier albums. Bad decisions that we made (Maybe this is where it ends) I don't wanna fall in love, not with you, not with you, Insecure: Music From The HBO Original Series, Season 4. Bad Decisions is cliché indie pop at its finest and offers a melody incredibly reminiscent to things we’ve heard from Blink, Billy Idol, Modern English and maybe more. So we'll make the same mistakes The song begins with a lone brooding guitar rhythm that quickly builds to eventual release in the chorus, only to return to a similar slightly anxious sound between chorus verses. (I don't wanna fall in love) Till the morning breaks I don't wanna fall in love, not with you, uh-uh Take a bow for the bad decisions that we made Been makin' bad decisions Love me, leave me For me this track isn’t as much a reflection of Julian’s parents strained relationship (as per the songs bio) as it is a reflection of Julian’s/ The Strokes strained relationship with their fan base. ‘You didn’t listen to me but I, I didn’t listen to you’ and ‘I waited so long listening for something to work’ is the break down in communication between fans and band and is maybe also a reflection on fans never being satisfied with what is released. Do you remember what you said to me? Till the morning breaks [Verse 1] Makin' bad decisions, mm, yeah “And he would tell me, ’Jeanette, don’t ever ask me that’.”. (Till the morning breaks) His parents' tumultuous relationship was well-documented in a 1988 New Yorker profile on his father, John Casablancas. Catch a lil' vibe, but then I'ma leave her as soon as I get a lil' penny Although rather than act on it he continues to make ‘bad decisions’ for us, the fans, which seems to of caused each member of the band a level of disinterest for the Strokes as a project. So we'll make the same mistakes Yeah, we lost track of time [Verse 2] Okay, okay, okay, she ask me why I'm rich and lonely Kubrick's Hollywood I don't wanna fall in love, not with you, uh-uh Now we find ourselves lying around here Something that I feel like the band, specifically Julian, have tried to distance themselves from. 'Cause we lost track of time Makin' bad decisions, mm, yeah It is also possible to interpret this song as about Julian’s problematic relationship with his father as in the past, Julian hasn’t shied away from being a lyrical critic of his father (see: Barely Legal, When It Started, & Human Sadness by The Voidz). Yeah, we lost track of time Bad Decisions Lyrics: I got some issues (I don't wanna fall in love) / Love issues (I don't wanna fall in love), trust issues / (I don't wanna fall in love) I don't give a fuck issues / (Not with you Most of the time I'm stuck in the grind and tryna go get me some money (All the same, all the same) Been makin' bad decisions (Can't these trust these hoes, no) So we'll make the same mistakes I'm too vulnerable I'm here feeling lower than the sterling I got some issues (I don't wanna fall in love) If the world is ending, let's stay up all night The song interpolates the main melody from Billy Idol’s hit July 1981 single “Dancing With Myself,” as Julian sings a self-aware commentary about the band’s interaction with its fans and the music scene, as implied by the music video’s point that a lot of what the fans want are sounds reminiscent of their debut album. In that article, when Julian’s father found out his girlfriend, Jeanette Christjansen he warned her that he was, ”Not the type of man who would ever change diapers. [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause we lost track of time Bastille Lyrics "Bad Decisions" Love me, leave me Rhythm of the evening, chasing a good time London's burning If the world is ending, let's stay up all night Do you remember what you said to me? Take a bow for the bad decisions that we made Take a bow for the bad decisions that we made Been makin' bad decisions So we'll make the same mistakes Oh, what a shame [Chorus] Take a bow for the bad decisions that we made [Post-Chorus] You said that maybe this is where it ends I can't trust these hoes anyway (Can't these trust these hoes, no) [Intro] (I don't wanna fall in love) I don't give a fuck issues Dropped down the lights, I’m sitting with you, “Bad Decisions” is, according to band member Albert Hammond Jr., the first official single from The Strokes sixth studio album The New Abnormal. The Strokes debuted the song with a live performance at the Bernie Sanders New Hampshire primary rally on February 10, 2020. Signing off with ‘I can’t, can’t make it anymore’, is surely The Strokes/ Julian signing off from making Bad Decisions on behalf of fans. [Chorus] In the same interview, Dan discussed the pop culture references made in the second verse, saying: I wanted to litter the album with pop culture references and references to the apocalypse, to have this almost tongue-in-cheek sense that there’s an apocalypse happening outside, and I guess it’s up to whoever’s listening to decide if they choose to take that as literal. (All the same, all the same) (And we make the same mistakes) [Chorus] How'd you look so good? The lyrics, for me, contrast the ‘mainstream’ composition and offer a commentary on how the band has made ‘bad decisions’ with and for their fans over the period of releasing Is This It (put up those gloves), Room On Fire (pick up your gun), First Impressions of Earth (save us from harm) Angles (safe or alone). Love issues (I don't wanna fall in love), trust issues That's why I don't condone it Bad decisions that we made All of them the same [Pre-Chorus] According to an interview with Billboard, the intent of the song is threefold: On one level, it’s about the stupid shit we do that we know isn’t good for us, but we do it anyway. Been makin' bad decisions ‘Lights down’ in ‘Moscow 1972’ is Julian offering a ceasefire between band and fans. I think this single is intended as an ironic preparation for an album that will be totally different to anything The Strokes have released before and certainly different to this single.
