+musicalman1995 The word that defines it is ultra-intense... It´s a deppressive song with such emotion on it. It makes it perfect

+musicalman1995 GOD* song not good. HAHAH

I remember where I was when I first heard it. All time favs.

It's a wonderful song but the drums are not insane and the bass is not extremely intricate.

Damn man this song is the shit hearing this in 2017 is the shit man I first heard this in 7th grade man. Best year ever. Wow.

Seeing them live splits your head open. The harmonics between the guitars is hypnotic. If you get the chance, GO!

LuisLEONFC73 at least this performance

+autumn in april Exactly the same with me autumn. I just loved it when I heard it in 2003. It was just like nothing else I'd heard before. I loved the Bass line as well. The bass is so mesmerizing. I love the little staccato bursts, the octaves, everything.

Agree, when I heard this song I was in middle school and It changed everything!

Same here

They peaked with obstacle 1

ggthewhale lol what?

AND ISN'T THAT AMAZING? That's one of the reasons why I love them, they could be my school's band! Well, maybe if they didn't write such lyrics as in "stella was a diver...". I think the teachers wouldn't like them :P

+primadonna Interpol is actually good though

lmaooo if this isn't spot on

Are they not??

One of the greatest songs indeed..simple yet great and thats what interpol does. No one writes tunes like them. There are thousands of more technically advanced bands who basically make shit tunes inspite of all their so called "technical ability" (which in itself is not impressive in the slightest) which does not mean anything if you cannot create something that moves you. Interpol is on another level of songwriting which was only matched by couple of bands in 00s.

retsaC deadnU was about to say

retsaC deadnU good shout

Travis Barker, Keith Moon, Stewart Copeland, Ginger Baker to add to your list to check out ;)

@@mrtaytogaming matt is insane...however he can only really show that in the studio, he couldn't stay on tempo when playing live to save his life, still insanely good... Thats why bloc party always sounded raw live

Only amateurs need lyrics to this song. Pros know it by heart

Top three bass players as far as stage presence: Carlos D from Interpol, Twiggy from Marilyn Manson, and Jean-Michel from Gojira. Change my mind.

chi from deftones is my favourite @@1DarkBaron

@@samuelmenearmediachannel9277na he changed into a fly

The Killers did a decent cover of this song: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ec2lq5RjxKe7nqM.html

thank god they didnt kill it with pitch correction

@@officeaddict33 the bass in their cover is a crime against humanity Jesus Christ

His voice is inspired by Joy Division

@@angelrai5993 that's not true, his voice is similary but he doesn't inspired bye Ian Curtis, Paul has said it on some interviews

same.

well the song IS about old times like the lyrics say, soo DUHHHH

I LOVE this song. It just can't get out of my head. One of the best song I've ever heard

Idk :P

Federico Treviño Well I just heard this as of a couple days ago 😂😂😭😭

Federico Treviño, damn!! You were losing such good music!

+Yessica Villegas I know Carlos D didn't get that his contribution to interpol's sound was crucial. He used a Fender Jazz bass with a pick and a very clean tone. He does so many cool little things on the bass that just make this song. From what I read, Carlos was not happy "Just being the bass player," and decided to quit. The band was never the same. Paul Banks said in confusion "I mean It[bass] is a major harmonic component." I understand why bass players feel underappreciated in rock music, having played both guitar and bass in many types of bands, but the bass fills a pocket of sounds that only the kick drum really can compete with. You man not always be thinking about the bass sound in a song, but once it is removed you realize that something is definitely missing. And shamefully, Carlos D had such amazing bass lines that threw in bass riffs in between the other instrumental parts, which was nothing short of genius. This song is a perfect example of Carlos' style. The same is true with Incubus. After their original bassist Dirk Lance left circa 2002, Incubus was never the same. Losing a bassist can really affect a band. Luckily when Tool fired their original bassist Paul D'Amour after their first album, they were lucky enough to find Justin Chancellor who is an amazing bassist, albeit very different in tone and style than Paul. So to reiterate my point when tool switched bass players it totally changed their sound. Pre-Aenima Tool has a much crunchier pick bass guitar tone.

+john tandberg You put that very well, good sir. I always had trouble picking up the bass whenever I was listening to a song. My friends who are all more musically inclined than me would be like "dude listen to that bass line" and I would have to really strain my ears to get what they were talking about, and even then I wasn't sure if I was hearing what I was supposed to. Carlos D completely changed that for me. His style is so distinct and captivating that once you register his bass lines/riffs it's practically impossible to get lost in any other component of the music without the bass calling you back. It truly is sad if he felt underappreciated.

Ive seen so many bass player but this carlos was god mode.

@@tandbergj Correction, as true as your statement was on all accounts, Paul D'amour also did undertow with Tool too so he did 2 albums

+Ronan RiemanJohns Cheers to that. Lots of crowd energy, tight playing and Paul's vocals come through very well. High rotation video for me lately too

+Mr. Brown I clicked this link to find out if his voice was really that good. I think the answer is no, his voice is *better live* because he can sort of do what he wants rather than stick to exact production. I don't know the correct terms for the thing I am trying to convey, but it is good to know Interpol sounds better (in my opinion) live than in a recording studio. How many bands can claim that in recent years?

Mr. Brown, I know!! They are so good live! Interpol's was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

59Juliie, the voice... 👌

is nice but for this song id use a p bass

This is my first song by then. Do you recommend the rest of their music ???

Were they any good?

Meghan Routledge When he drops into baritone like that, it's so Ian Curtis.

Meghan Routledge And it's beautiful.

Meghan Routledge my thoughts exactly

She's bad!

Huh?

durbeyfield oh for sure man. Carlos D had the most amazing bass lines. Some of the best Music I heard at the time. Turn on the bright lights and antics were pure awesome. But he left. And honestly i heard one of his interviews about all of it. He didn't even know who Carlos D was. (Himself) it was all a blur to him. He said the words "I was tired of being a rockstar". Don't really know what was going on between Paul and him but it was really fucking up things. He left in 2010 I think right as they were recording their new album. He never finished the album with them but he did give them all his bass lines for the songs he did record. When the album came out he didn't know what he was listening to because none of his work was in the album. He did leave the band afterall but there is a reason they are not as good.

where do you view or read that?

nikOtee lemme find it for you

nikOtee kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqdyobCImtGcY2g.html Skip to 11 minutes its when he starts talking about everything
