12yrs later and this song still slaps. I LOVE HOW THE SONG CRESCENDO's to it's climax ending. The band transports you to "that place". Wherever "that place" may be, is up to the listener. I will NEVER miss an album release. I will NEVER miss a concert that INTERPOL puts on.. Thank you, Paul, Daniel, Sam, for the AMAZING music.
I have a trauma and it is hard to go to the dentist and to other medical operations. Last time I listened Interpol and it was at the time of this song, while I was living through the trauma trigger counting seconds for it to end, that I started crying and thanked the Universe for giving me this band. Their music just follows me to hard places and trancends them for me to cope there. I am so grateful. Thank you for holding me dear.
This is by far one of the best live performances I had ever seen! This is a freakin' masterpiece! Interpol really needs to hold on to Brandon Curtis because he completes the band...This is one of my top 25 songs ever!
In a very very difficult time in my life right now relationshipwise and for some reason this is the song that describes how I feel. Music is a wonderful and powerful thing for sure...

In my past comment I ventured the hypothesis that "Lights" was donated to Interpol from heaven. If it wasn't really like that, the angels will have been very jealous!
no I mean to the last poster,playing support to U2 is a hard thing for a support band,not many 'U2' fans are open to other bands at U2 shows is what I meant.
He wrote the basslines for this song and all the rest from self titled. Plus, El Pintor is actually a great album. Carlos clearly didn't wanna keep playing in a band, he said it himself
Banks' voice in Lights, this is how I want I to remember it. Just spot on for me.

Thank you, Paul, Daniel, Sam, for the AMAZING music.
I have seen Lights live this year for the first time, what an experience, the melody and "Thats why I hold you" - I felt like hypnotized.
what a disgusting clown you are not thanking Carlos, who is the sole reason this band even produced music like this in the first place.
@carlitosdinkler5213 Carlos wasn't on the self titled album with Lights. Yes, Carlos was fkn amazing when he was with INTERPOL.
@@mattsnow546 yes he literally was he did the bass and keyboards still

Sam is on beast mode on drums.
one of the best songs ever
In my opinion, the best song on the album
no cap
The harmony at 3:08 is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard
Agree.
It's like a holy chant. Brandon Curtis from Norman, OK, Ladies and Gentlemen.
@@JayChilds1963 I almost forgot that Brandon Curtis, along with his brother (RIP), was part of the Secret Machines
Such a masterpiece
is Interpol!
Even without Carlos, still the best band on the planet!
D pajo isn’t a bad replacement
Oh wow.............one of the best live versions of this song I've ever seen.
Aside from the celestiality of this song, I think only Paul could have remained so handsome and charming with that plaid shirt!
This is by far one of the best live performances I had ever seen! This is a freakin' masterpiece! Interpol really needs to hold on to Brandon Curtis because he completes the band...This is one of my top 25 songs ever!
Inquietante. Brutal. Magnífica.
The outro with the keys is magic. Wish it went on for another 60 seconds. 5:20
In a very very difficult time in my life right now relationshipwise and for some reason this is the song that describes how I feel. Music is a wonderful and powerful thing for sure...
Scrabble M.E.G. hang in there
Hope you're better now, buddy.
@@eugob90 in a much better place! Thanks man!
Music transcends EVERYTHING..
hang in there!
Wow Sam's face at the end is pretty priceless, he's all "I'm playing the shit out of these drums".
strong as you've seen
bold as you behave
you will always obey
One of the most powerful song ever made ...
in crescendo.
I love this song and here it is with a video you can watch on the train. The other one, I only watch at home 🦉
That's one happy Paul at 3:40 - 3.42.
Incredible band
Mark thomas brand and 5:05 :) absolutely awesome
WOW A SMILE FROM A HUMAN!!!!!11
All that I see
Show me your ways
Teach me to meet my desires
With some grace
All that I fear, don't turn away
And leave me to plead
In this hole of a place
What if I never break
Estuary won't you take me
Far away, far away
All that I seek
Please police me
I want you to police me
But keep it clean
Now that you meet my day
Now let's take them away
(That's why I hold you)
Strong as you've seen
Old as you behave
(That's why I hold you)
You will always obey
(That's why I hold you)
All that I feel, capital ways
Teach me to grieve and conspire
With my age
All that I can see
A gold mystic spree
A seething routine
I could never navigate
Maybe I like to stray
No harm it seems to be less so free, not today
It's like you want it that way
All that I see
Is peaceful eyes drawn away from me
Drawn away from me
We would like to take the sights
(That's why I hold you)
And bring silence in disguise
(That's why I hold you, dear)
We would like to meet the buyer
(That's why I hold you)
That is on your life
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
They're really good live!
Paul's playing on that outro!!!!!!!
paul is so handsome here
What an incredible song
I love this song❤
beautifall performance, the best live performance ive ever seen
Absolutely stunning. I never tire of listening to this song.
All that I see
Show me your ways
Teach me to meet my desires...
With some grace
All that I fear
Don't turn away
And leave me to plead in this hole of a place...
Cause what if I never break
Estuary won't you take me
Far away
Far away
All that I seek
Please police me
I want you to police me
But keep it clean
Uh...
How have you been, my day
Now let's take them away
(That's why I hold you)
Strong as you've seen
Old as you behave
(That's why I hold you)
You will always obey
(That's why I hold you)
All that I feel
Capital ways
Teach me to grieve and conspire
With my age
All that I can see
Domestic spree
A seething routine
I could never navigate
Maybe I like to stray
No heart unseen will be left so clean
Not today
It's like you want it that way
All that I see
Is peaceful eyes drawn away from me
Drawn away from me
(Drawn away from me)
We would like to take the sights
(That's why I hold you)
And bring silence in disguise
(That's why I hold you, dear)
We would like to meet the buyer
(That's why I hold you)
That is all your life
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you dear
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you dear
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you dear
That's why I hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you...
this performance is fucking brilliant
I believe that the angels, even if Interpol often make them participate in their songs, are quite jealous of not having created this music!
A Masterpiece Indeed!
The best version ever ❤
This is their best work. Austere and creeping, totally uncompromising.
Intense stuff.
So much drums without the snare, great piece, I saw this before I heard the record and this is the integral version for me
loved them supportin U2 in philly and NY such a shame other U2 fans didn't share my love but nevermind!
Excelente canción y banda
Just Perfect!
I often wonder how many of these views are mine 🤔😍
GREAT BAND, I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.
100x better than the recorded version.
Alucinante 🤯
odlicnost.
Art and reallity
I love you 😍🥰
there's no need to use to enjoy this song, this song is a drup, it makes feel so dope!
Muuito foda!!!
Wonderful 🧡
Genial!!!!
The proof they are still amazing without Carlos,saw them at the end of last year, spellbinding as ever
❤
You dont seem to be an Interpol fan. You are?!
good
Dan's the man, but I love Paul's guitar playing at the end.
Bíblico
In my past comment I ventured the hypothesis that "Lights" was donated to Interpol from heaven. If it wasn't really like that, the angels will have been very jealous!
At least they said hello to the angels before they took the song..
Woooww
Evocativa...:-)
Best fukn song put out..16 urs later
@gibbo1968 What did you expect? They're U2 fans, after all...
S'fucking good
Sam looks sad in the beginning
is the first time i hear daniel in tune lol
don't mind me, just listening to Sam on the drums
Dave Pajo on bass?
What if I wanna do kick with my left foot?
no I mean to the last poster,playing support to U2 is a hard thing for a support band,not many 'U2' fans are open to other bands at U2 shows is what I meant.
Interpol kicks u2's ass
Sam is on point
Why don't they show the bassist?
2:23
Oh ok, just seems odd with no carlos they never show what the bassist looks like. Almost like they are purposely cutting him out
like "Full House Without Michelle."
4:38 died
i stopped caring about this band around the time of self-titled, but i fuck with this song heavy. Memory Serves is a jam too.
"that's why I hold you"s are a little bit high-pitched but still great :D
better than sex!!!
They went to shit without Carlos.
He wrote the basslines for this song and all the rest from self titled. Plus, El Pintor is actually a great album. Carlos clearly didn't wanna keep playing in a band, he said it himself
Artist Unknown...nice try Carlos!!
why the hell didnt they video tape carlos dinger's mug? you can only see his palms :/
Hello Bearz, here the bassist is David Payo.
