I think they could not have chosen a better track to open with�the name, the title of the album, the feeling�its all very good. Very clever. It is it.

I love the bassline in this song, and the way its really pretty how the drums are kinda like this thread that holds the guitar riffs and bassline together�I mean that�s often the case in Strokes songs, but they did it really well here and it works like a charm, its very �thready and fabric-y�its like really soft and worn dirty denim, coz its pretty and delicate, but raw and rock at the same time. Also the vocals are totally amazing. I love people who sing like they�re feeling what they�re singing, like Julian sounds �way too tired� and like he�s trying but he just can�t be fucked and like he�s just gonna collapse any second, and he�s sighing and whinging and whining and it sounds like the band are inside your stereo just playing in there, just for you, like a special musical telegram. man, I love it!

Is This It
can't you see i'm trying, i don't even like it
i'd just lied to get to your apartment
now i'm staying there just for a while
i can't think 'cause i'm just way to tired

is this it
is this it
is this �it?

said they'd give you anything you ever wanted
when they lied i knew
we would just stay both children trying hard
not to realize i was sitting right behind her

dear, can't you see
it's them it's not me
we're not enemies
we just disagree
if i was like him
office in this bar
he changes his mind
says i went too far
we all disagree
i think we should disagree, yeah

is this it
is this it
is this it

can't you see i'm trying, i don't even like it
i'd just lied to get to your apartment
now i'm staying there just for a while
i can't think 'cause i'm just way to tired...
