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.

Even without Carlos, still the best band on the planet!

Banks' voice in Lights, this is how I want I to remember it. Just spot on for me.

Such a masterpiece

Sam is on beast mode on drums.

one of the best songs ever

In my opinion, the best song on the album

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.

The harmony at 3:08 is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

Inquietante. Brutal. Magnífica.

Oh wow.............one of the best live versions of this song I've ever seen.

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 crescendo.

Aside from the celestiality of this song, I think only Paul could have remained so handsome and charming with that plaid shirt!

The outro with the keys is magic. Wish it went on for another 60 seconds. 5:20

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

One of the most powerful song ever made ...

strong as you've seen bold as you behave you will always obey

Wow Sam's face at the end is pretty priceless, he's all "I'm playing the shit out of these drums".

They're really good live!

That's one happy Paul at 3:40 - 3.42. Incredible band

What an incredible song

paul is so handsome here

The best version ever ❤

beautifall performance, the best live performance ive ever seen

Paul's playing on that outro!!!!!!!

Absolutely stunning. I never tire of listening to this song.

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 🦉

This is their best work. Austere and creeping, totally uncompromising.

A Masterpiece Indeed!

this performance is fucking brilliant

I often wonder how many of these views are mine 🤔😍

100x better than the recorded version.

Just Perfect!

I believe that the angels, even if Interpol often make them participate in their songs, are quite jealous of not having created this music!

Excelente canción y banda

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!

odlicnost.

Art and reallity

Alucinante 🤯

GREAT BAND, I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.

there's no need to use to enjoy this song, this song is a drup, it makes feel so dope!

I love you 😍🥰

Wonderful 🧡

The proof they are still amazing without Carlos,saw them at the end of last year, spellbinding as ever

❤

Genial!!!!

Muuito foda!!!

good

Dan's the man, but I love Paul's guitar playing at the end.

Bíblico

Woooww

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!

Evocativa...:-)

Best fukn song put out..16 urs later

don't mind me, just listening to Sam on the drums

Sam looks sad in the beginning

is the first time i hear daniel in tune lol

S'fucking good

Dave Pajo on bass?

@gibbo1968 What did you expect? They're U2 fans, after all...

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.

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.

What if I wanna do kick with my left foot?

Why don't they show the bassist?

better than sex!!!

"that's why I hold you"s are a little bit high-pitched but still great :D

They went to shit without Carlos.

why the hell didnt they video tape carlos dinger's mug? you can only see his palms :/

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...
