At the Door
"At the Door" is a song by American rock band The Strokes. The song was released on February 11, 2020, as the lead single from their sixth studio album, The New Abnormal (2020). An accompanying animated music video was released on the same day.
"At the Door" lacks drums and percussion and primarily features Julian Casablancas' vocals accompanied by a digital guitar. It has been described as a synth-pop song by multiple writers as well as a "stark change of pace" for the band by NME's Ella Kemp. In a review for the Chicago Tribune, Mark Kennedy wrote, "Casablancas knows he is a lost soul, but offers hope: "Use me like an oar/Get yourself to shore." Caleb Campbell of Under the Radar described it as a "synth-led slow burn of a track" with a "heart wrenching vocal performance from Julian Casablancas". Writers noted Giorgio Moroder as well as Casablancas' side project The Voidz as possible influences for the song. Kemp also stated that the song includes "contemplative lyrics" that "Casablancas sings to someone we will never know".
The video was done in the style of 1980s animation and tells several roughly interlinked stories. The stories are:
The last shot of the video is of the boy wandering his abandoned home before the video cuts away to a shot of a futuristic, edenic place as Casablancas sings about "waiting on the other side". The video's director and writer, Mike Burakoff, explains its meaning as: "There’s a feeling when you are growing up that you are just leaving for a second to go get something, that you’ll be right back. But reality is not the same as a memory, you can’t go back. Something or some time that feels so close to you can be impenetrably far away. It’s a feeling of loss that I get when I think about certain memories from my past. That notion is at the heart of this video… How do these different characters deal with loss? What does it feel like to face the future?" The video premiered at a campaign rally for 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. The video was inspired by films of the 1970s and 1980s such as Watership Down, The NeverEnding Story, Heavy Metal, and other films of the era.
