The White Stripes – Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground (Official Music Video)

The White Stripes—a male-female duo consisting of a guitarist/vocalist and a drummer, the smallest lineup for a rock band—were a driving force behind the early-2000s garage rock boom.

Beyond their extraordinary musical talent, their artwork, infused with a strict aesthetic, was also remarkable, and they achieved not only commercial success but also received many prestigious music awards.

Here, I’d like to introduce “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground,” from their landmark 2001 release White Blood Cells, the album that helped boost their profile.

With its raw guitar and dynamic drums, the track is incredibly cool.

The title’s “Dead Leaves” literally suggests an autumn vibe, but the lyrics—seemingly straightforward yet open to various interpretations—carry a mysterious quality typical of vocalist Jack White.

The music video, directed by the filmmaker Michel Gondry, is also suggestive and layered in meaning.

In other words, it isn’t actually a song with autumn as its direct theme, yet it’s invariably cited by overseas music sites as an “autumn song.”

My Door BellThe White Stripes10rank/position

The White Stripes “My Door Bell” ‌‌ – Bohemia Afterdark

The White Stripes, a band emblematic of the 2000s garage revival.

The song has a bright, piano-driven sound, but the lyrics feel somewhat lonely.

It gives the impression of a track with just the right brightness for when you’re feeling down, so give it a listen when you don’t want to sink into the dark.

The White Stripes – Fell In Love With A Girl (Official Music Video)

It’s an up-tempo, fast-paced track with fiercely strummed guitar, yet it’s very simple, using only a single guitar and a drum set.

The standout feature is the striking, voice-cracking vocals that jolt you awake, making it a fun number.

Let’s Shake HandsThe White Stripes13rank/position

The White Stripes – Let’s Shake Hands (Official Music Video)

With just guitar and drums—the smallest lineup for a rock band—The White Stripes helped lead the garage rock revival of the 2000s.

Released in March 1998 as their first official recording, this track is a garage-punk number that feels like their early impulse vacuum-sealed.

Jack White’s raw guitar riffs and Meg White’s tight drumming fuse together to radiate an unadulterated cool.

The simple call to shake hands plays like a greeting to listeners, while also sounding like a declaration that they won’t be bound by old conventions.

It’s a track you’ll want to hear at the start of something new, with their fiery performance captured in live releases like Under Great White Northern Lights.
