The best Interpol song they never wrote. I remember how strange this song sounded when it came out, it was well before any Joy Division revival, and was drastically different in tone from the sound of the times.
"All the clouds keep hoarding all their air-borne oceans -won't fall." "You're starving and I got nothing to feed you -renegade good intentions turn to scorn" I really love this band!
This song blew me away when I heard it on "You're Just Too Obscure For Me." Like so many Verlaines songs it drips emotion, and Graeme wearing his heart determinedly on his sleeve.
@ants4rocket I've got "you're just too obscure for me" it's a great album, and it was that line from death and the maiden that really made me take notice.
What people have to actually realize is... Graeme Downes is a literal genius within what he does

Interpol? Pffft. Interpol is mere child's play compared to this

I feel suddenly ignorant - what does 'interpol song' mean? I've never heard that term.

@ants4rocket I meant 'song by the band Interpol'. This song captures their sound.

Sorry I took so long... my audio was out again.
I've never heard of these guys. How long have they been around?
