Once I wrote "it's like learning a new language" in a desk in a classroom at my college and within 3 days different people had written the rest of the lyrics.. that's what Interpol does.
Dude I saw them live once in austin and at the end of the show they asked if there were any requests so I shouted repeatedly "stella was a diver and shes always down!!!!!" No one else was asking for that one, not a single other audience member yelled that out but I swear Paul looked right at me (I was jumping repeatedly as high as I could and thrashing my upper body as I screamed to try and grab his attention so I guess it worked?) and started strumming out the intro. I've never before or since heard a band that sounds so true to their records while blasting away with incredible energy. One of the single greatest shows I've ever been too.
That's awesome. Do you know what that song is about? I was just put on meds for schizophrenia and relate to it. That n drugs obviously. But idk what the song is about. :)
Yes! That’s awesome. Paul did the exact thing with me when I saw them in Toronto - I was front row, telling him to play Stella, he looked right at me and started to play it. He’s awesome with fan, met him a few times. Always humble and amazing.
I dated a girl for 8 years. Interpol was her fav band. I couldn't fully get into them so them saw them live in Philly and everything too. We broke up recently. Couldn't help but listen to Interpol. Now I can't stop. Now I feel the lyrics. Now I feel every guitar strum and it hits home to what I was missing with her AND Interpol
@@anachubinidze5428 You're absolutely right, that must mean that her love is majestic, fantastical, but lacks in giving a proper amount of love, and wanting impossible sugar coated expectations. Then that, his love is subliminal, subtle, different, observant, but with immense meaning and passion behind it.
My boss told me once that he hired a kid who would only play this band on repeat everyday and they put up with it for months until finally they asked him to change the music and he put in his 2 weeks. True story.
Harry Portfel i Karta Kredytowa honestly I’d love to hear the stems for the keyboards On the 15th anniversary video for TotBL they commented on how Carlos was seemingly making entirely different songs with the stuff he wrote on the boards, but somehow it worked with the music in ways that they didn’t expect. Unfortunately with Carlos gone those subtle details in the Interpol framework are lost, but I do still love El Pintor and Marauder.
I’m so insanely jealous at everyone who got to experience this performance. I think if I had to choose just one INTERPOL song that through the its entirety makes me feel so much passion. It’s this song. I’d do anything to be here. This is the greatest rendition/performance of it ever.
At 46 years old I can tell you right now this is still the greatest band I have ever seen live. They sounded better life than on the album which is unheard of. Paul Banks is an absolute genius the rest of the guys are fucking amazing.
no bud they dont sound better live especially leif erikson, paul's voice is nowhere near as cleanly singing and especially for the end of this tune they're not playing carlos d suddle piano parts at the end
I was lucky enough to see almost this exact same performance in Atlanta, same clothes, same smoking instruments. It seemed like a time that would last forever but none of us are quite the same anymore. I'm glad for this video, though.
I could watch this everyday on repeat and nothing else and never get sick of it. So dark, mysterious, romantic, Paul's voice and lyrics, Daniel's incredible guitar skills...I am in love with Interpol.
Back when Interpol were the newest big thing. Paul's got a weird bravado to him. And what a voice. But I like him better now, seems more settled with the years and his confidence is real now.
Recuerdo cuando venía a buscar este video las vistas qué tenia eran de menos de medio millón, hoy después de tantos años puedo ver que al fin llego a más de millón y medio eso demuestra la popularidad qué ha tomado Interpol, mis ídolos, siempre desee qué su música fuera conocida por muchos y ahora eso es realidad y un enorme agradecimiento para el dueño del canal qué fue el que nos regalo este pedazo de video
They have almost always been ignored by critics in favor of other insignificant bands who will leave no trace in the music, preventing many people from knowing and loving them. When I think about it, I have to say that I was very lucky to have known them almost from the start.
Interpol is a great band and I love their lyrics, sound, music and presence. Paul has a smooth voice that normally speak but it has one of the most addictive and deep ... good work guys!
She says It helps with the lights out Her rabid glow Is like braille to the night She swears I'm a slave to the details But if your life is such a big joke Why should I care? The clock is set for nine But you know you're gonna make it eight So that you two can take some time Teach each other to reciprocate She feels that my sentimental side Should be held with kids gloves But she doesn't know That I left my urge in the icebox She swears I'm just prey to the female Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes Cause I like to get hooked The clock is set for nine But you know you're gonna make it eight All the people that you've loved They're all bound to leave some keepsakes I've been swinging all the time Think it's time to learn your way I picture you and me together In the jungle it will be okay I'll bring you when my lifeboat Sails through the night That is supposing that You don't sleep tonight It's like learning a new language Helps me catch up on my mind If you don't bring up those lonely parts This could be a good time It's like learning a new language You come here to me We'll collect those lonely parts And set them down You come here to me She says brief things Her love's a pony My love's subliminal She says brief things Her love's a pony My love's subliminal
*Anyone else now sing it with the alternative lyric ("if your life is such a big fucking joke... why should I care?") forever?* P.S. Thank you SO much for posting this ♥ I just downloaded it so I can keep it forever. My all-time favorite performance, of my favorite song of theirs, from one of my all-time favorite bands ♥ (16+ yrs and going strong... still on a hyperfixation, as my youtube watch history can attest 😂)
one of their best live performances by far this live performance just breathes the right atmosphere he's still got the voice and they're still young and hungry
Me trae bastantes recuerdos, muy buenos, muy allegados, ojala nunca hubieran terminado, pero nada es eterno, y menos el amor, ¡hay amor, que ha sido de ti! ¿Cuándo vendrás a preguntar por mi? Great song
I just played this song again after 15++ years BC I watched the new Viking series about the life of Leif Eriksson and this was my favourite track on this album. I remember buying the tickets for Interpol @ Scala in Kings Cross just because a review mentioned vaguely Joy Division. Turned out, it was precisely what I needed in my life back then.
They're so cool, even their instruments smoke
@conor boden... you are the man!
hell yeah
😂so true
jajaja
Que bueno!
Once I wrote "it's like learning a new language" in a desk in a classroom at my college and within 3 days different people had written the rest of the lyrics.. that's what Interpol does.
💙💙💙
+Joe Collado Holy shit, that's absolutely amazing in my opinion
I thought so too, plus the fact that I live in Mexico where english isn't the native language but good music can break those self-imposed 'barriers'.
+Joe Collado that didn't happen
Joe Collado why do you say they're "self imposed " boundaries?
“But if your life is such a big fucking joke, why should I care?” This just couldn’t possibly get any sexier. Priceless. For ever.
I know
I can't sing this song now without singing this alternative lyric. Really with it was on the album version.
Crazy how the word fucking just sends it over the top
listening to this song while I'm all alone in new year's eve but I'm not feeling lonely, and it's because of them. I just love them so much!
Same here! Happy new year buddy!
We are together man!
What do you advise for the rest of the year ? Because I don't want to feel lonely at all... ??
The detail of the cigarette put on the guitar KILLS ME.
I love Interpol
It's either that or you stick it in your ear, but if you forget it's in your ear...
Only Paul Banks can do that without looking ridiculous.
Becouse it's Interpol!
very cool...great, great band...on a different note...Eddie Van Halen used to play while his cig was lit on his guitar.
+Andrea Grimaldi almost every guitarist in the 70s did that. Clapton, Jimmy Page, etc
Paul doesn't even exhale smoke when starts "she says" kill me, oh darn.
Dude I saw them live once in austin and at the end of the show they asked if there were any requests so I shouted repeatedly "stella was a diver and shes always down!!!!!" No one else was asking for that one, not a single other audience member yelled that out but I swear Paul looked right at me (I was jumping repeatedly as high as I could and thrashing my upper body as I screamed to try and grab his attention so I guess it worked?) and started strumming out the intro.

Amazing story
Wow amazing story
I dated a girl for 8 years. Interpol was her fav band. I couldn't fully get into them so them saw them live in Philly and everything too. We broke up recently. Couldn't help but listen to Interpol. Now I can't stop. Now I feel the lyrics. Now I feel every guitar strum and it hits home to what I was missing with her AND Interpol
Dark my man hope yuo okay
She had good taste in music. So do you. Hope you find the right one for you. Life is a journey.
I miss this era of interpol
Andrew Cameron God, I miss Carlos. I’m not crying. You’re crying
Its the only era of interpol I listen too...well their first 3 albums is my favourite era
@@garyr6097Absolutely, in my mind it's the perfect trio of albums
Carlos D era!
This would be Ian Curtis' favourite dance song!
The best thing about their music is that their lyrics mean different things to everyone. Truly an art. So relatable it hurts and is almost annoying.
“Her rabid glow is like Braille for the night” happy Leif Erickson day 🤍
her love is a pony. it's young, wild and free. his love is subliminal, its there but she can't see it.
You confuse pony with a foal.
@@anachubinidze5428 You're absolutely right, that must mean that her love is majestic, fantastical, but lacks in giving a proper amount of love, and wanting impossible sugar coated expectations. Then that, his love is subliminal, subtle, different, observant, but with immense meaning and passion behind it.
It’s phony
@@El_Chamuco713 pony
a pony my /eponymy
I love the healthy way he doesn't smoke his cigarette
Gary r it’s for aesthetic purposes. Paul Banks is effortlessly cool.
@@JoseLuna-iw1ly of course ...he found the coolest way to smoke a cigarette
Why are there so many spanish-speaking fans of Interpol? This is sooo intriguing
+O Iluminado He lived in mexico and speaks Spanish, so perhaps that's why.
We have good taste in music, that's the most reasonable answer. ;)
im from venezuela and i love interpol, fuck maduro.
Im an arab. Go figure...
Yeah, he speaks spanish fluidly but it doesn't explains why. I'm also intrigued. (Colombia❤️)
One of the best songs of the decade
This is the final song I want to hear as I pass onto the other side
For me it would be my blue supreme
Hopefully that is a long time from now
Paul Banks is the sexiest man in the universe. nobody can change my mind.
SHE SAYS BRIEF THINGS
HER LOVE'S A PONY
MY LOVE'S SUBLIMINAL
YOU COME HERE TO ME!!
SO COLLECT THOSE LONLEY PARTS AND SET THEM DOWN!!
YOU COME HERE TO ME!!!!!!!!........Chloe Nickel knows my soul.
What I wouldn't do for someone to say this to me.
I love you!!!!
His voice is so fucking awesome live! I love it! Im addicted to Interpol
Still addicted?
Damn Paul just nailed this one, beautiful performance
L'album de ma vie
This video is the best performance registered for this song
My boss told me once that he hired a kid who would only play this band on repeat everyday and they put up with it for months until finally they asked him to change the music and he put in his 2 weeks. True story.
I never get tired of this song
my favorite from em
I was backpacking and this song came on on my chill mix and I obviously know the album quite a bit but the song sounded so fresh
Anyone ever commented on interpol's keyboards? I think they're quite awesome and make their songs sound unique.
Harry Portfel i Karta Kredytowa honestly I’d love to hear the stems for the keyboards
On the 15th anniversary video for TotBL they commented on how Carlos was seemingly making entirely different songs with the stuff he wrote on the boards, but somehow it worked with the music in ways that they didn’t expect.

I love how Paul takes a drag and gives the rest to his guitar.
2:40 that change in the song progression is amazing!
Ikr
Soul-gasm
I Just love this damn solo at the end. It's pretty simple, But I just love the way it sounds. I love their guitarist.
Its definitely one of my favorite guitar parts of his. Poignant and perfect.
im so deeply infatuated with this song
This is their best song of all... thoughI love all of their music
Beata X C'mere is pretty good, check that one out
At 46 years old I can tell you right now this is still the greatest band I have ever seen live. They sounded better life than on the album which is unheard of. Paul Banks is an absolute genius the rest of the guys are fucking amazing.
no bud they dont sound better live especially leif erikson, paul's voice is nowhere near as cleanly singing and especially for the end of this tune they're not playing carlos d suddle piano parts at the end
Seen them 15 16 times his voice is better now than ever b4
The most perfect song to ever exist. Favorite Interpol song of ALL TIME, so freaking gorgeous!
Holy shit he puts his cig there
SO COOL
He is not the first one!
I'm interested who was first?
Mikhail Eric Clapton
Can u provide live performance url?
+Ed Zimmerman that wasnt the point ya hooplehead, this aint fuckin Guinness world record shit.
Paul Banks putting his cigarette on the guitar tuning keys is my new favorite musician quirk
Paul looks so handsome in this show.
This is so beautiful that I'm crying
I was lucky enough to see almost this exact same performance in Atlanta, same clothes, same smoking instruments. It seemed like a time that would last forever but none of us are quite the same anymore. I'm glad for this video, though.
Never tire of this song, ever! My third favourite track of all time after Love Will Tear us Apart and There is a Light...
Been listening to interpol for more than a decade. They got such a unique style cant find no other
I just love Paul's attitude during the performance of the song! Love his voice in this song! The cigarette part was hilarious to me! Interpol rocks!
I could watch this everyday on repeat and nothing else and never get sick of it. So dark, mysterious, romantic, Paul's voice and lyrics, Daniel's incredible guitar skills...I am in love with Interpol.
Back when Interpol were the newest big thing. Paul's got a weird bravado to him. And what a voice. But I like him better now, seems more settled with the years and his confidence is real now.
Great song...and the best live performance I've seen of it.
Watching this song is better with the lights out
can't believe this is not even half million views...
+Niccolò M hehe i guess this is too much class for an average listener
Recuerdo cuando venía a buscar este video las vistas qué tenia eran de menos de medio millón, hoy después de tantos años puedo ver que al fin llego a más de millón y medio eso demuestra la popularidad qué ha tomado Interpol, mis ídolos, siempre desee qué su música fuera conocida por muchos y ahora eso es realidad y un enorme agradecimiento para el dueño del canal qué fue el que nos regalo este pedazo de video

One of their best songs, amazing.
Interpol is a great band and I love their lyrics, sound, music
and presence. Paul has a smooth voice that normally speak
but it has one of the most addictive and deep ... good work guys!
My favorite band since i was a teenager 🎸🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶
She says
It helps with the lights out
Her rabid glow
Is like braille to the night
She swears
I'm a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke
Why should I care?
The clock is set for nine
But you know you're gonna make it eight
So that you two can take some time
Teach each other to reciprocate
She feels that my sentimental side
Should be held with kids gloves
But she doesn't know
That I left my urge in the icebox
She swears
I'm just prey to the female
Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes
Cause I like to get hooked
The clock is set for nine
But you know you're gonna make it eight
All the people that you've loved
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes
I've been swinging all the time
Think it's time to learn your way
I picture you and me together
In the jungle it will be okay
I'll bring you when my lifeboat
Sails through the night
That is supposing that
You don't sleep tonight
It's like learning a new language
Helps me catch up on my mind
If you don't bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
It's like learning a new language
You come here to me
We'll collect those lonely parts
And set them down
You come here to me
She says brief things
Her love's a pony
My love's subliminal
She says brief things
Her love's a pony
My love's subliminal
I love Interpol. Their music hits me in a way I can't describe..but all I can say is it helps and I've followed them for years.
This is a perfect song. In fact, Interpol is perfect in my mind.
The best live version.
If he had smoked all his cigarettes in this way...his voice would still sound awesome these days
Sad but true
Damn. So true. And he wouldn't have aged so rapidly from beautiful boy to leathery middle-aged man. But Paul is still handsome.
You are all WHACKED!!! Paul still sounds and looks HOT AS FUCK!!!
Paul aged like wine, he looks hottest than ever
I guess Paul needs to... Rest His Chemistry
I can't believe this song doesn't have 1 million views yet
Guilherme Augusto Oliveira 100M
one of the very few bands that sound just as good live as they do in the album
LOVE INTERPOL, Been listening since 2003, Big hello from NYC !
This live performance is really amazing. Everything.
*Anyone else now sing it with the alternative lyric ("if your life is such a big fucking joke... why should I care?") forever?*
P.S. Thank you SO much for posting this ♥ I just downloaded it so I can keep it forever.
My all-time favorite performance, of my favorite song of theirs, from one of my all-time favorite bands ♥ (16+ yrs and going strong... still on a hyperfixation, as my youtube watch history can attest 😂)
I show this song to one girl, she doesnt like it, now i dont know wft is wrong with her
+Pooky Charlie I know, I don't even like her now xD
+amino fuel she doesnt know that you left your urge inthe icebox xD
+chronical haha nice one
+amino fuel well, i think that would be because this song is about sex, and i you don't like her... well... she probably feel offend or something
she doesnt appreciate good music too bad for her
One of the only songs that you listen to and come away speechless. I take my hat off to you Interpol
I think it's my favourite live performance ever
I watch this like every night before going to bed..this song is magic
Absolutely love this
THEY ARE LEGENDS! Still listening to them today, nobody better. Even Paul's music now is pure genius👀💓
Best performance of this song
one of their best live performances by far
this live performance just breathes the right atmosphere
he's still got the voice and they're still young and hungry
Seeing them in Dublin in 2 weeks, can’t wait..hope they play this 🎸🎸🥁
15 years alter... I still love this performance.
These guys are so good!.
What a piece of music, what a performance - with the lyrics so compelling, so enthralling.
love the way the stage is lit, like casting an ilusion on their existence, magical!
Me trae bastantes recuerdos, muy buenos, muy allegados, ojala nunca hubieran terminado, pero nada es eterno, y menos el amor, ¡hay amor, que ha sido de ti! ¿Cuándo vendrás a preguntar por mi?
Great song
This performance is incredible, the outro 😮!!!
It feels Like yesterday

I love how his voice doesn't match his face at all
Lol

This is probably the best live recording of Interpol!
So hipnotic.... Paul was so young there!
God theirs nothing better than interpol, NOTHING, my favorite band in the world

TODAY IS THE DAY!
I heard a lot of bands but this is beyond great
wow when he lit the square in the dark it looked so cool. another reason why paul is awesome
Love it all! ❤️❤️
"her rabid glow is like braille to the night" ...trip tp a soft darkness this song is
Incredible song and incredible performance.
I just played this song again after 15++ years BC I watched the new Viking series about the life of Leif Eriksson and this was my favourite track on this album. I remember buying the tickets for Interpol @ Scala in Kings Cross just because a review mentioned vaguely Joy Division. Turned out, it was precisely what I needed in my life back then.
Such an excellent rendition of an excellent song. Daniel's wanderings are so great in this song.
I've already seen this video a million times but I'm never tired to watch
This band is my whole mid 2000s with my basement dweller friends smokin the bud and jamming to interpol
Happy Leif Erikson Day!
"it's like learning a new language/helps me catch up on my mind (...)"
❤️
helps me catch up on my mime
