Paul Banks is a man of many talents. Julian Plenti, Interpol, Banks, all are just great!

One of my favorite Albums of all time. Banks 4 ever ❤🎉

I've listened to it about 19 times all the way through. It's a story of excellence, and life. Don't let the issues sung, get you down, follow them as lessons. Another Chance. No Mistakes. Young Again. Arise, Awake. The Base. Summertime is Coming. Listen to it... like really listen to it. Amazing stuff!

You have to give it to him. He worked on this wrote this album while touring with Interpol. Its pretty facinating to create something different from Julian Plenty and Interpol. The multi level of sounds in this song, is to me in my opinion, romantic. I will forever be a fan of Paul (aka DJ Fancypants) Banks.

The Base Paul Banks What I draw today Will be recognized as shape I spoke to the base And the base says "we wait" So that's why I smoke an old cigar While the giant sun fades See, I spoke to the base And the base says "we wait" And the base says we're safe Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then oh I feel, you're truly anesthetized That's why When I walk today It's in silence and in rain Can a man turn a page While he's trying to amaze? So I hold my arms apart But don't deny you any pain See, I spoke to the base And the base says "we're there" And the base says "we win" Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then oh I feel those beauties, this life belies They're like street lights They tunnel on and on Into these deep nights Where the lights circle on are so steep So steep... I count the falling stars So steep Anonymous forces So steep That broken street light So steep Life is like a drug Sky less night So steep I count the falling stars So steep I will not be staying long Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then I can see those beauties that shun my eye That's why Written by: Paul Julian Banks Lyrics © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd., BMG RIGHTS MANAGEMENT US, LLC 1

This song is a masterpiece!

This is the first time in almost 10 years I've listened to this album cover to finish! Can a man turn a Page while trying to Amaze?! The Base says we're FYLNN! ...I will not be Staying Long...

The album is good, just good. This song is a masterpiece.

Just love this dude....

Amo mucho esta canción, desde que la escuche... Mi día esta sin sentido, si no la escucho almenos 1 vez!

2:23 and it sounds like it could be Blue Nile... 2:57 sounds like you're flying at the speed of sound through a bank of pink fluffy clouds & broken glass... sublime

Beautifuuuul!!!!!!!

Just found this record and i freaking love it UGHGHGHGH

He/she was kind. I didn't even hear three good ones but hey maybe it's a grower as you say, I didn't like Our Love to Admire when I first heard it but now it's a firm favourite. xx

i love this song ♥ when I listen this song, I move to into another world

Superb! :-D

100% Agree.

Fucking awesome

Wowowowowowowow

thanks :)

Vai ver Julian Plenti, outro 'disco' de Paul Banks. É fantástico. :)

sabia que conocia esa voz INTERPOL :D

Hahaha i hated our love to admire too! It took a while for me to like it!! Same with these tracks I'm slowwwwly getting used to them

Too heavy ? I'll Sue You, and Young Again are too heavy ? The album is perfect, there's nothing to say.

In the most confusing and stupid part of my life. I listened to this album 100 days straight. I didn't take the most obvious choice. I am better for IT!

so good. soooo good. Like stop whateverthefuckyouredoing and listen good. #PaulBanks

That's true. with all of Paul Banks stuff, including Interpol, the more you listen, the more you love them. And i disagree with acestorcroll, this album is stronger than skyscaper: you left out Over my shoulder, Young Again,and I'll Sue you. I LOVE the new album

Chingona rolasa

i spoke to the base

@Kingcolville .... so true......you shouldn't judge till you hear the album in its entirety.a couple times....that's only fair as it will grow on you after the second listen .......

lindo y sensual Paul Banks

Anyone know any other songs like this?

gone is the band Interpol?

yeah, at first I didn't like paid for that, or I'll sue you. Then I was like shit, these are spectacular.

Πως μου ξεφυγε τετοια κομματαρα

a bit disappointing, the beginning is one of the best beginnings i have ever heard to any song ever, but the at 2:35 it changes completely and is truly shocking, and at 3:19 it becomes like the beginning again and is amazing

It’s like Poetry in Motion... oh wait - it is!

Disagree. At 2:35, the song actually becomes even MORE epic.

When I say heavy I mean the whole feeling of the songs - not the distortion, speed, etc. They're heavy. And NO this album is NOT perfect, but as I say there are a few, and Young Again is growing on me.

This song, Summertime is Coming, and Lisbon are great. The rest are a little too heavy - can't listen to them in one sit down because they're like a weight on your shoulders. Not to the same standard as "JP is Skyscraper", completely different of course, but three good singles - not bad Paul.

this is about sex, right?

is this an anti-war song right???

Just love this dude....
