[Chadwich]

"I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night"

Always make me emotional. Gets my thinking about my wifey.

[Evanauto]

This song makes me need a hug.

[gtv6dave]

[cheddar126]

Doesnt Paul sound kinda like Jim Morrison @ 2:20?

[5891solrac]

[12321Walrus]

@73davil accent*

grammar nazi strikes again!

[necelticsox]

speaking of leif ericson, he was one of my great granddads. I'm not making it up, it's true.

[PunchFaceChampions]

@ 3:15 the saddest, most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my entire life... This band has helped my musical career expand more than any other band could ever dream of

[MrTOTBL]

This song is a ANTHEM!! :)

[maximoplf]

So tense.

[DonVanVliet83]

simply beautiful

[PitchbearAndJangle]

Love Interpol...why did Carlos D leave? why?!?!?!

[molkoneo]

@PitchbearAndJangle

carlos dengler why????????????

[salparadise1971]

Remember getting the underground from Hillhead to Bridge Street going to see them at the Carling Academy in Glasgow in 2004. You could just tell that everyone on that train was going to see them.

I love this song, probaly my favourite.

[BeyondA80]

Best song of their best album... Too bad their brilliance faded slowly away.

[FranciscoAntonioV]

i'll bring you when my life boat sales through the night..

[DalisYT]

I want to hear the Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover this song.

[Ltnhuneybee22]

I wish Interpol had made a music video for this amazing song!

[CakeS2k]

This is bull

[loomingyourway]

I'd like to hear this song right before I die.

[steelcurtain187]

God, this is amazing

[izzik123456]

אלינור היפה הכירה לי את השיר הזה

[JacobLHooper]

I wish interpol were still this good

[NorthBoundBand]

@JacobLHooper Interpol has always, and always will be AMAZING. their new album is brilliant!

[xoginamarie]

I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night...

I swoon every time I hear this part.

[Grygge]

@xoginamarie Me too! So amazing!

[BADRANG4EVER]

only bad thing about the song...it´s too short

[lyonslaforet]

Interpol are one of the best bands of the 2000s!

[cyezak]

If you don't bring up those lonely parts, this could be a good timeeee.

[lotsareptiles]

This song gives me goosebumps

[Iamspeckled]

One of my favorite songs

[whiteanimous]

the lyrics to this song make sense if you interpret the woman he is talking about as being vinland - which is why it is called leif erikson.

[MontayThe]

Interpol, Led Zeppelin, The Doors

[ILAN2187]

@MontayThe 1 genesis 2 pink floyd 3 zeppelin 4 doors 5 rush 6 the who  7radiohead

[powertothehippiesman]

@MontayThe don.t know man.. i think the doors come first ahah.

[CosmicAnnotation]

The lyrics to this song are simply one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read (or heard)

[orangehollander]

Happy Leif Erikson Day!

[elcamino52]

@orangehollander Hinga Dinga dergen!

[ovech4pres]

This song makes me feel so surreal...or it could be the bud I smoked.

[keeinv]

Leif Erikson told people to come to greenland instead of iceland bc his dead descovered greenland.

[saganemc2]

has anyone noticed the red black white theme from several artists? Interpol david bowie, kraftwerk, gary numan white stripes, many others? is there a connection? anyone?

[BenJaming95]

@saganemc2 It looks cool.

[732202157]

Hinga dinga durgen!

[SebasLP14]

I wish I could go back and ask Leif Erikson was what he did to it by Interpol compose one of the greatest songs ever

[desigualguy]

[Ozzwozz09]

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves

[TheMrdisgustipated]

heroin in the form of soundwaves.

[LancasterProduction]

does spongebob like interpol? or does interpol like spongebob?

[dannyymartinez10]

Best Lyrics Ever??

[kingofpuppets]

@dannyymartinez10 Agreed,,,



[brentacles1]

Wow! Get mad much? I was "just saying". But quite passionate response. Someone needs a hug!

[sstoicc]

just so its clear, he ISNT actually speaking about Vikings. Yes because everybody that listens to Interpol OBVIOUSLY knows that each and every one of their songs always has a very literal meaning. @Brentacles: besides obvious reality, is sarcasm one of your fortes as well? If it is, youll understand my comment. seems like you started listening to interpol just yesterday, retard.

[salparadise1971]

Leif Erikson your my pal mate.

[brentacles1]

Speaking of Love not Vikings, metaphor!

[sstoicc]

@brentacles1 you seem to have a firm grasp of the obvious! If the cookie monster, or some other retard dies, the need for you may arise!

[nnprecious13]

Love this song.

[SebasLP14]

When I die I want that song at my funeral

[LiSaMaRie4624]

@SebasLP14 Me Too i love u

[BlackGoddessable]

@SebasLP14 me too

[andreap023]

i first leaned this name from sponegbob

[MrWalkwest]

Very strangely, I think Leif would approve if he didn't die way back in the 1000s

[sstoicc]

@MrWalkwest lol... agreed! lol WINN!

[MsRorik]

najlepsza piosenka ... :-( 

[tan94319]

one of their best!

[mike196212]

Absolute perfection.

[robasci00]

@304473108 firts European you mean...

[diln5]

Christopher Columbus invented America. It did not exist before him.

[SugarBudZ]

@diln5 ... that's simply stupid..

[diln5]

@SugarBudZ Oh. I was under the impression things did not exist until someone from Western Europe saw them with the blessing of royalty.

[TheModCon]

@diln5 It's cause western Europe is the best and the simple act of their observation creates the universe we see around us!

[Observer0627]

Simply bored.

[Shadowplaytime]

The soul of Adrian Borland inhabits here...

[mayak102]

I swear the red square is moving...

[SugarBudZ]

@mayak102 ... it is .. lol ur not trippin dude!

[mikiutube1]

fuck'n awsome!!

[interpolik]

thank you so much!!!4 the vote

[tsaggarucci]

''Friends'', Season 9, Last episode, End Scene!

[agbagb14]

@tsaggarucci that song is untitled, not leif erikson.

[tsaggarucci]

@agbagb14 yep my fault.

[evilweekend6]

:D mi favorite! I'm so happy a few days ago I could listen to it at the Interpol's concert in Mexico It was AWESOME!

[guitar3hero3]

can anyone tell me why this song is called leif ericson?

[anarotarina]

@guitar3hero3 Leif Erickson is supposed to be the first northern european ( from the barbarian ages etc) that crossed the ocean and arrived in America, having said this, make your own conclusions. Sea, vessel, sailing + love ;)

[Fran26140]

@guitar3hero3 I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night

[annemareh]

my favourite song in the whole world, turn on the bright lights is undoubtedly their best work and is sheer genius

[HelloKittyFuckYou666]

I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night,

That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight

[terepotere]

She swears I'm just prey for the female...

[bnmyuiop]

It's like learning a new language. Helps me catch up on my mime. If you don't bring up those lonely parts. This could be a good time

[DoctorComics]

If your Life is Such a Big Joke, Why Should I Care!!!

[LeeKGm]

@edwardgoyo24 I would recommend the band She Wants Revenge

[edwardgoyo24]

who would like to suggest a similar band?

[sloanmidwestXTC]

@edwardgoyo24 Joy division!

[dkfx77]

@edwardgoyo24 Editors ?

[dkfx77]

@edwardgoyo24 Editors ? And Joy Division as sloanmidwestXTC said.

Editors are to Interpole what Interpole are to Joy Division ^^

[Djulibug]

@edwardgoyo24 The National.



[jules1737]

@edwardgoyo24

The Chameleons

[kingofpuppets]

She doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox...

Such a powerful lyric

[jules1737]

This is such a beautiful song.

What has happened to this once great band?!

[julifoo210]

You come here to me. We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down. You come here to meeeee! Amazing vocals and guitar

[aclockworkbunny]

I love this song and I love the fact that he says babycakes. <3 He can do anything

[cyezak]

if you don't bring up those lonely parts, this could be a good time.

amazing.

[gfbelich]

my love is subliminal

[julifoo210]

@gfbelich Hey, it really is. Sucks but they're still an amazing band. Interpol, magnificent.

[gfbelich]

fuck, fuck, fuck. Second music of my life.

[terepotere]

This is the best part of the song:

It's like learning a new language

You come here to meeeeeeeee.

We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down

You come here to meeeeeeeee...

[YouGotGunYouGotGun]

Helps me catch up on my mime

[mockworld]

It's like learning a new language.

[dale515100]

It should be against the law to dislike this :O

[MyChrissyb]

when you taik about me i hope its while this cool song is playing

but really gives afuck

[BSHBen]

This song is so eerie, mysterious, and brilliant. I love how the guitars interlock around the enigmatic lyrics. With Interpol I always feel that each instrument communicates just as much emotion as the lyrics, and this song is a perfect case of that.

[PaceIsTheTrick2]

Saw them at NYC on 5/8/11, I went berserk when they played this song. It's incredible...."She says brief things, her love's a pony. My love's subliminal..." 

[framk20SH]

Happy Leif Erikson day

[talyromero]

Sublime !!! Que bueno que regresan al D.F.

[talyromero]

Sublime !!! Que bueno que regresan al D.F.

[MrTOTBL]

All Interpol fans know this song is a TRUE ANTHEM!!

[cindysa210]

ive seen them in concert twice noww,! and i love them more and more each timeee! <3

[raidersSolja]

25 people have there own opinions and i dont care

[Destro088]

25 people never learned a new language

[tonikamikase]

pinche cancion perrona

[dephtful]

in love !

[PhilToTheMax]

I wish I had been a Icelandic explorer who had travelled to Greenland and North America so that Interpol would name a song after me.

[1dogballs]

killer tune



[lakai958]

the bass is sexy

[guyish7777777]

so good

[Dirtydirtyfag]

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid's gloves

she doesn't know that i left my urge in the icebox.

This.... just this..

Most perfect song ever... the way it ties together, you could play it on a endless loop and you would never be tired of it.

[mcbtex]

@Dirtydirtyfag

i did just that and have heard it now 34 times ... never tire of it!

[magyarwho]

This is my favorite song by Interpol. I think this was their best album. And best song.

[1dogballs]

goddam i love this song. 

[Beartrucci]

Seeing them in 43.25 hours in Tulsa... Time to Turn on the Bright lights

[91zareta]

oooh i love interpol soo much

[thevikingpower08]

lief ist sun of erik the red :P

[Exodus3003]

@LoganLeeCloud hell yea i kno wat u mean. it seems like all their songs are like that. its like the music puts you in a deep, introspective, dramatic trance. its amazing and beautiful at the same time.

[jip1000]

best interpol song. although lights is a pretty good one too after several listenings..

[304473108]

Leif Erikson was the first person to step on american lands, before colombus

[fleming1972]

@304473108 First European, you mean.

Sorry, being pedantic.

[LSchlotfledt]

@304473108 So you dont consider indians are people??

[carlo88moe]

@304473108 and he has nothing to do with the song...they said they only named it that as a sort of joke bc the keyboard part sounded really Nordic...

[Preator]

@304473108

Uh, I believe all the people that first inhabited the Americas would be the first people who stepped on American lands. Leif was among the first Europeans after the Ice Ages.

[androgino255]

@304473108 Son of Erik the Red



[TheMoshedPotatoes]

@304473108 bitch them native americans

[riseup20twelve]

@304473108 yeah, cheers man i knew his name was deep in my collective dna  :)

[sstoicc]

@304473108 lol, it was a nigger before him.. but at this point, its all opinion anyway! how did this get 21 likes?

[metalheadedtothemax]

@304473108 first european heh

[zakcolin123]

[LadyStardust011]

[deboraish11]

[Bradtabs924]

youtube wants me to turn off the lights for earth hour. but this album title is telling me opposite.

[PaceIsTheTrick2]

"Her rabid glow is like braille to the night." WOW....WOW!
