Tourist

In an interview with Pitchfork Media the comment was made to Casablancas that this song sounds like it's as if he feels there's no place he can call home. He replied: "Yeah, I've been thinking that lately. Especially since New York is like one bar/restaurant/Whole Foods/Starbucks thing now. You used to have a range of neighborhoods but now there's like two cool streets in Manhattan. Somewhere between Lower East Side and Chinatown there's the 'old vibe.' That's what 'Ludlow St' is about, too - that feeling of 'what is your home?' It's like where you grew up is an illusion because it changes so much."
