Julian Casablancas - Dare I Care Lyrics






Hit the knee – ow – heck, they’re ready
S.O.N.’s SAT, how magenta are you?

Daddy, I owe Doc Luke a Mercedes
Barely up and I’m looking for jobs.

Yup, they been at your house already
Who, me? Sad? I’m last to hear

Yeah, they been at your house already
Who me? Fuck, I’m last to hear.

What a real woman won’t mind
But don’t be weird with me
I won’t be weird with you
But I wanna be weird my way

It won’t be my way
American always our way
What can I say?

In the band I put the key, cause I did my time
What can I say?

Your memory’s no good, leave your clothes on
Our bodies crave a lot of things that end in loss
Don’t try and turn this into something else,
Too late to change your mind this time and hit eject

Now that I’m here
I been wasting half my life
Right here is where my friends they used to live

Hit the knee – ow – heck, they’re ready
S.O.N.’s SAT, how magenta are you?

Daddy, I owe Doc Luke a Mercedes
Barely up and I’m looking for jobs.
Who, me? Sad? I’m last to hear
Yeah, they been at your house already. Who the fuck?

I want my money back
That wasn’t fun.
The bricks and the gravel and the mud and the blood
Another wild teenager in search of success, welcome to the jewel of the modified west

Now that I’m here, o-o-oh
I’ve been wasting half my life
Right here is where my friends they used to live…

I don’t care anymore
I’d don’t dare anymore.

Now that I’m here, where my friends they used to live
I don’t care anymore, I’d dare anymore

That’s how they know, that’s how they know,
“Calm down”
That’s what they say, that’s how they know

  45. S.... G....

    The music sounds Arabic but the sung parts sound like Hindi. This coming from someone whose first language is Hindi and has grown up in an Arabic country.

  47. l.... r....

    amo este tema

  48. M.... R....

    Excelente!

  49. E.... E....

    anyone knows how to do this kind of animations?

  50. A.... I....

    My favorite song of all time

  51. J.... S....

    This is definitely not Julian I knew before...

  52. M.... S....

    Anagnorosis: the sense, through thrill of recognition, of having just caught up with a truth that was always waiting for you. —> Or, what I felt upon first hearing Dare I Care, that indescribable melodic bridge before and alongside “Now that I’m here...” Sense of something inexorable at hand.

    Drang nach dem absoluten: “the drive towards the absolute”, or, the pushing and pushing of ideas until they reach what can then seem to reach an unavoidable, even seemingly predetermined end point. —> Or, *that* sound in Dare I Care’s chorus. A skeletal stag in flight, memories on a reel alongside you. How after my dad’s death, I’d retch when I tried to talk about it. Words caught in the throat, spasms of indignation and pain. Then, the lesson of sound, how the Voidz album Tyranny was, in part, a way for Julian Casablancas to cope with the death of his own dad. Sing when you don’t know how to say it. Some kind of soothing.

    Then, this take by Karen O to Vice on Jules and The Voidz. “I’ve got to say, it was definitely a transcendent experience. It reminded me of when I went to see Brian Wilson perform Smile. It felt like you were jumping into the mind of some mad genius’s symphony. The ordered chaos of what’s going on alongside his raw emotion—which elevates it to this whole other level—it felt like he really found himself in this record and the way he presented it. Like there was some catharsis that happened and that’s what I was watching. It all made sense after seeing it live, something I felt went really underappreciated to be honest. It felt like watching history in the making. I felt so high after it.”

    KO knows, man. She always knows. Remember your heroes. What I owe you, J.C., is beyond evaluation.

    M.... S....

    What a description!:) i wish to watch JC LIVE someday! But i will

  53. J.... D....

    From 2:05 to 2:21 If the "here" he's talking about is his head, then I can relate.

  54. Y.... E....

    ما يصح الا الصحيح.

  55. A.... C....

    can someone pls help? i don't understand the meaning of the song title, i speak english a little and i don't know the meaning of "dare i care" in spanish

    A.... C....

    Dare I care isn’t a usual phrase, dare is to task someone to do something. Care is to help someone. So it means pushing himself to help. I think the meaning of this song is how the west has become less about doing good things, and instead doing what helps you gain money or control.

    A.... C....

    @Midnight Respawn Thank you very much :D

  56. L.... A....

    Tastes change, right? Never really took to the Voidz but I'm revisiting and that is a fucking incredible piece of music

  57. P.... D....

    Masterpie

  58. H.... S....

    Am I the only one who gets strong Indian vibes from this?

  59. m.... ....

    Would who ever took Julian's money give it back already? He's been singing about it for over a decade...

  60. Y.... ....

    ....No, I could never be nihilistic. :(

  61. M.... M....

    When I die I want this to be one of the last pieces of music I ever hear. <3

  62. D.... T....
