interpol - leif erikson (live)

[kitealmelo]

This is so fucking good! I only wish it was in HD!

[meakins8]

is it me or is it a little like an ian curtis+jim morrison reincarnation...

[0412lennon]

The mic needs a bit of reverb for this performance to be phenomenal otherwise good track

[iriris]

Las primeras 200.000 visitas a este vídeo son mías. Seguro.

[loomingyourway]

This vid should have 2 billion views, not 200k.

[PabloCorinthian]

Like more than half of the songs of Interpol, this song is about sex. And like more than half of sex, this song is awesome

[Viktogarage]

umm megan fox ...don't see the connection with this video lol

[cnichel1]

i want this song to be my wife

[orourkeda]

@cnichel1 I want to have sex with this song too.

[thepeopleliketht]

Wot a fucking song best Interpol song

[MaiSanLenix]

The Best Suited Suit !

[Realist761]

Haha. Belenbanks for Paul Banks? Anyways, I don't like him in suits He looks like a used car salesman. But the song is awesome. Woohoo. Aha!

[belenbanks]

I love Paul Banks in the last second.

[climber910]

I sooooo wanto to fuck with this song. 

[07jjaramillo]

i get chills when i listen to this song, very deep. to me at least.

[sstoicc]

@07jjaramillo yeah... indeed, this was one of them that affected me.

[theinterpolbaby]

This is so powerful and emotional!

[damelvi]

Best song ever

[carlo88moe]

damn it ive been dethroned as highest rated comment, now i gotta go to fuckin page 13 to see my comment, lol..

[Tunnelzzzzz]

Great song, really really great. Still, I can't understand why it's named "Leif Erikson"..it's not about the Vikings!

[OU2Kast]

@Tunnelzzzzz

Paul Banks said once that there's just some part in the song that, instrumentally, reminded him of a Viking funeral dirge or a viking ship sailing, something to that effect. So he said "Fuck it, we'll call it 'Leif Erikson.'"

[Tunnelzzzzz]

@OU2Kast lol thanks!

[sstoicc]

@OU2Kast wow, i didnt know that! awesome info dude!

[jules1737]

Carlos is so funny from 1:46 - 1:50

[greyagain]

@ figureaid : are u a cure-fan as well?!

[indomitusEvehementis]

my favorite... by far...



[Ravemecaptain]

"Her rabid glow is like braille to the night." Seriously, what an amazing line. How stunning that woman must be.

[MrRundll]

This is the best song they ever pulled out of the realm of sur-reality. The bassline, the brilliant lyrics, the dreamy, distant voice; in this song everything what goes for interpol comes together and just awes me every time I hear it.

[JohnnyCagePro]

manly tears

[alterischange]

@JohnnyCagePro Manly tears indeed.

[Melbarbie]

I can't get enough of Interpol- addiction is an understatement.

[90Boone]

Thank you for creating such a great song for f&cking. 

[carlo88moe]

damn my comment is greatest anymooooo:((( blow to my ego, right there...and yes, my is a tenuous one where even a stupid youtube was acting as crutch , lol

[conceptual0theorist]

@carlo88moe just so you know your comment has a higher number of thumbs up and is there forgreatest. but it didnt receieve as many recent thumbs up.

[MrPaintedwhore]

For me Interpol is the best band since of this century, I am very sad with Carlos D departure, I have my doubts about other bassist like him at the new line-up. The other members of the band said in interviews which he doesn't like to play bass!?

[zeLudoo]

3:48 Paul seems high (maybe he is) during the whole song and then a dynamic "Woooo". Okay. :P

[fenderfoshiz]

3:50. 'Nuff said. I love Paul.

[Prophet15sg]

such a beautiful song.. got damn I LOVE IT

[reztc09]

hollowpoint45 ur lame



[rufian562]

I worship you Paul.

[nigelcollinmartinez]

I want this played at my funeral.

[Rut267]

THIS song, Roland, and Obstacle 2 are the best songs on TOBL, imo. This song progresses so well, I love the ending.

[quivedder]

I'm so fucking in love of this song... I'm "interpol-holic"

[TigerByMySide]

I think this is their best song, with Stella (L)!! I've seen them live in A'dam, it felt so special !

[soundpoe]

Listening to Interpol is necessary when you feel blue or when you need some light. Poetry is another way to travel without move. One of my favorite groups.

[brandondittman]

Her loves a pony... Great interpol song! :)

[jip1000]

""her "rabbit" glows in the night""; makes me soo sad.. But it's beautiful



[Tunnelzzzzz]

@jip1000 "rabid", man, he says rabid. No pets in this song.

[jip1000]

@Tunnelzzzzz I understand but its no contradiction to my statement

[Tunnelzzzzz]

@jip1000 :)

[rafaelramonchana]

It took me a while to understand Interpol. But now i'm finally out, Interpol is the best band without a doubt. It just takes some time, and after that time, you'll love interpol even more then Megan Fox's tits...

[soyunhijodelatisnada]

@rafaelramonchana  totally agree with u!!

[bala3518]

@rafaelramonchana whats with megan fox's tits? lol....weird comparison unless you are orgasming to both...:)P

[feyenordina]

@rafaelramonchana 

[xDeadMisfitsx]

@rafaelramonchana yuck Megan Fox is a make up whore, who's totally fake...and has like no tits. I loved Intepol more than Megan Fox before I knew of Interpol...then I again, at that point I didn't know of Megan Fox too but whateva

[EvoSchecter]

@rafaelramonchana Megan Fox has tits? LOL



[dradfromthebu]

@rafaelramonchana Yeah, shut the fuck up, Megan Fox is NOT hot, Interpol is sweet don't compare them to that cunt.

[rocio01braun]

awww Paul is sooo sexy

[redelzbth]

<3

[prozacpeople]

Anthologic.

[Silverstreak350Z]

My fav Interpol song.

[smashmouthrocks]

that is the best look carlos had

[bruomc2]

Mais uma do Interpol...somzinho maneiro !

[bruomc2]

Boa Banda !

[squintz03]

3:52 haha friggin Paul! Horns up and a big wohoo =)

[alund1306]

Ahh, this song will never get old. Subtle and beautiful, just the way I like it.

[chunkhutchinson]

HA HA HA. Loves Pauls reaction at the very end of the song.

[TheRightCause]

Awesome Track from Interpol, if you have a chance check my band out

Thank you

[smashmouthrocks]

i just noticed something. nobody knew carlos till he left. weird huh,i want him back

[mitchely]

@smashmouthrocks Anyone who's followed this band knew carlos,.He was probably the most outspoken person in the old line-up. Also he had the biggest stage presence in the out of everyone.

[blakscull]

@smashmouthrocks You kidding right? I mean... who wouldn't notice his epic mustache lately or his epic paleness?!

[Zeppelinfan25]

sucks Paul doesn't dress like this anymore...I miss this Paul

[44again44]

A lot of you could write just as well as Paul if stop posting these dick riding comments!Clean praise is one thing,sychophantic worship is another and the worst!

[rafaelramonchana]

7 people don't understand the depth in this song

[6Tilo1Wolf6]

His lyrics are great. It's impossible to get what they mean for him, or what they meant at the moment he was writing them; it's different for everyone, they speak to the unconscious.

[nsmiley24]

@6Tilo1Wolf6 I personally feel the song is about taking a girls virginity. THus the reason that its called Leif Erickson, girls always remember who took their virginity. Helps with the lights out, reciprocate, urge in the ice box, you come here to me collect those lonely parts. All those lines have some sexual undertone. I feel that at 3:09 is either when she surrenders to him or when he climaxes.

[6Tilo1Wolf6]

@nsmiley24

I agree with you about the sexual undertone, and thought about taking a girl's virginity since the title is leif erikson. And what about baby cakes? that's quite weird.

However he is a genius, nobody else can name baby cakes in a song and still make it sound beautiful and mysterious in its own way.

[jackieles]

Oh Man! I love Paul Banks!

[AceHarding]

Oh man, the bass in this is killer. I'm really nervous to hear how they sound without Carlos in the band now

[carnagekid261]

Spellbinding. Compelling. Riveting.

[ALXgreatlord]

i think only smart people listen to interpol, its a band that represents some kind of a dark beuty, and by dark i mean more like a down to earth beuty more than a ficticious one

[chilangito1000]

que bueno que van a venir a Mexico ya tenia ganas de verlos en vivo :D

[metroidfusion32]

3:50 "WHOO!" - Paul

[Zerzios]

fucking yes

[wuallans]

Is very goood!



[jazz3erd]

santo Dios

que exquisitez de voz!!!

que exquisitez de hombre...

lo amo!!!

♥

♥

♥

♥

[3third3eye3]

One of the best songs, from they`re best album...

[superscrash]

yo los amo y dice mi novia que tambien y mas a paul, listos para el corona capital mexico! yeah!♥

[jimbo11x11]

i'm seeing them tonight in detroit, aww yeah. also, this song used to be an 'our song' for a past relationship of mine =]

[TheQuadeur]

Ca c'est de la musique les gars !!! One of the best song in the world, too good to hear those guitar sounds !!!

[moon8woman]

Interpol... the band you should bring home to meet your mother ♥

[Popatti]

This is the most precious stuff here!

[alans056]

this track never gets old. fucking brilliant

[triggerscrappy]

coming up 13 th sept 2010.. cant wait

[onarole]

I love how right at the end Paul throws the devil horns!

[hollowpoint45]

Im so f@#$ing addicted to Interpol....

thumbs up if you are too

[ChundomanX]

interpol es mi banda favorita y turn on the bright lights es mi disco favorito y la verdad our love to admire esta feito con ganas si acaso rest to my chemistry y lighthouse de ahi en fuera ninguna me gusta, antics me gusta muchisimo, turn on mas y precipitate ep es la culminacion, parece que entre mas viejo mejor para mi

[dragonfox312]

Possibly my favorite song by Interpol

[ozabobododo]

"I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night". Man i love that breakdown when the guitar cuts out and you just hear the bass. Great lyrics and delivery also.

[sharding2586]

just watched this video three times, i dont think it will ever get old. truly brilliant work.

[gagen484]

ive been watching this over and over for the last year and a half.. i don't think it will either!

[Enitze]

Una de las voces más sensuales del indie rock... Y el surrealismo de las letras es alucinante!!

[ChundomanX]

i'll bring you when my lifeboat sail through to the night ......

[wearethemotherpeople]

All these comments are fucking retarded.

[bballerguy0812]

the music is great and this dude has a unique voice.

[chanekese]

pinche rola tan mas chingona

[INTERPOLFAN17]

isnt this about a relationship only based on sex?

[stallyrdos]

Perfect Song 

[LennyValentino9191]

I want see this song and Untitled live, later i can die.

[ayseisonfire]

i want the old paul banks back. I'm sick of Julian Plenti vocals...

[Phibes87]

I'm sad carlos has left them :((( But I'm sure they won't let any old chump join up but gosh, they have lost their gothic side ;) I love interpol and always will. Lights was fantastic!!!

[interpomar]

long live interpol ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[SkateFastAsHell]

youtube really fucks up the audio, the original file sounds much better, and you can clearly see how fed up carlos is at 1:46

[HMG5588]

"I left my urge in the ice box" ??? Maybe the line should be "I left my shlong in my gym sox"

[sjothyme]

Lay off the Joy Division Rip off stuff, has a similar voice but big deal, this band is outstanding, I've seen them 4 times. Crispin Glover plays a mean bass.

[SAuLAmoaSTrokesStrat]

no maaaaa me prende esta canción....y mas como la anuncia al principio.... Viva Interpol

Amo a strokes.....

[h3sperian]

the old Interpol was the greatest one....i don't like the new stuff,it's so..boring..

[testiCQR]

if you notice, turn on the bright lights came out on 2002, then antics came in 2004 that's 2 years in between......then our love to admire was released on 2007...3 years in between..... i'm thinking they have a consecutive pattern so 4 years would be next, that's 2011.

but that's just my thoughts. x ] (hopefully)

[iTziNiQuiTyx]

Been sleeping on this band. Such a Joy Division ripoff. I love JD though.

[kni4994]

paul banks. nuff said

[biliashov]

@kni4994 Paul Banks has so much class--on stage and in person.

[Tyger2393]

2:18 to 2:35 is awesome.

[HenryNavarre]

@Tyger2393 Agreed.

[quivedder]

I bet he was about to say "but if your life is such a big fuckin' joke..." but he smiled instead

[loopytaru]

I hate it when people try and look like Kurt Cobain or Cats.

[socalao94]

da best

[TheDaalin]

Paul looks much better with long hair, like a mixture of Kurt Cobain and a cat

[rockmachine16]

paul is so .... beautiful

[hollowpoint45]

Best Band ever? No no need for a question mark THEY ARE PHENOMINAL

[carlo88moe]

paul has always worked on some subliminal level, as his lyrics are cryptic and abstract on the surface, but for some reason creep into your consciousness like puzzle pieces and then u just get it, you understand what the hell he's meant the whole time

it's artful and not so goddamn literal, that's awesome and should be praised

[1jimmycrusher]

@carlo88moe - fucking well put!

[shotgunshawzy]

@carlo88moe You sure can blabber a lot of shit......well done.

[shotgunshawzy]

@carlo88moe There is nothing subliminal about this song, the title LEIF ERIKSON is about an actual norse viking who supposedly discovered america before columbus.......jeez your a madman who has conned everyone here into giving you thumbs up, well done people for being so gulllible.

[carlo88moe]

@shotgunshawzy haha, ur affronts are just...lame... leif erikson yes was a viking, tho, if you actually research some Interpol interview, they didnt write the song about him, but rather name the song in his namesake for nothing more than bc the keys at the beginning of the song sounded like, well, Nordic...it just befuddles me how the hell you attributed the lyrical content to the viking's life story...its obviously a treatise about someone special,wtf?? you're an idiot mongoloid...

[carlo88moe]

@shotgunshawzy oh right, i did hear some lyrics about vikings sailing in a new land, that was just the sort of literal mindedness and want of a clean narrative to every fucking song that makes music pure shit, congratz on being a douchebag

[carlo88moe]

@shotgunshawzy yeah, im pretty sure the song has nothing to do with the viking....um, try thinking...did your mind explode, or did you feel betrayed by this song when you realized the title was just an ironic name chosen for the song that's about things intimate, sincere and about the human experience...and rlly nothing as asinine as a viking???

[shotgunshawzy]

@carlo88moe Leif erikson was a human, so i'm sure he had human experiences as well.

[shotgunshawzy]

@carlo88moe "Lifeboat sails through the night"....."its like learning a new language"

Sonds like leif erikson & vikings to me

[carlo88moe]

@shotgunshawzy ahem. now ur just interpreting lyrics like everyone else...unless the lyrics actually said, im lief erikson, all u can come up with are oblique and tenuous connections just like any other interpretations....even,even if you could garner enough evidence from the text to justify that this song is spoken as lief erikson, itd obviously beone big metaphor...and metaphors by definition R NOT literal....oh and that point about LE being a human...a tawdry ,gotcha-like point

[carlo88moe]

@shotgunshawzy yeah, bro , ur just gleaning meaning from the some lines from the text just like the rest of us..plus, didnt i already tell you the band themselves said the song had nothing to do with LE except for the keyboard sonically recalling something very Nordic

[rafaelramonchana]

@carlo88moe Really good explanation!!! You're the man

[carlo88moe]

@rafaelramonchana haha, well thanks bro!!

[carlo88moe]

@carlo88moe hmm, pretty insightful buddy,too bad ur not top dog anymore, lol

[axxis02]

stunning

[12slan]

BEST SONG EVER!!!

[thesayote]

"She says brief things her love's a pony

My love's subliminal"

-damn i can relate...

[alans056]

you mean you understand the lyrics ? please enlighten me

[thesayote]

@alans056 does any form of literature actually have a true meaning? the writer or artist can have any meaning he wants for it but when it's released to the public it is robbed of it's true meaning, the true meaning of the song(or article or book or whatever) is meant for the public to decide, for the public to decide what it means to themselves.

[psycho826]

how

[wadshiva]

tout à fait d'accord!!le monde a besoin d'un nouvel album d'Interpol!!!je suis en manque

[JHCBMD2008]

The world needs a new interpol album...ASAP!

[chelseaclogan]

agreed x 1,000,000

[nandotime3001]

911!

[Marphis]

@JHCBMD2008 It's on it's way, bro. :)

[cerwinvegafan]

@JHCBMD2008 its on its way and they said its going to sound very similar to turn on the bright light

[ballstastegood69]

@JHCBMD2008 actually no they don't.... i see why carlos quit

[N1CKYb0n3z]

Yea i heard that too from some site. I can't wait. TOTBL is my favorite.

[girljeanschris107]

i heard that their next album will be more like Turn on the Bright Lights so hopefully we'll be hearing more songs like this and specialist

[dogbone52]

yea man i cant wait i loved untitled so much i hope there's something like that there. its supposed to come out early 2010

[girljeanschris107]

oh yeah for sure untitled is superb...yeah i heard it was coming out in march cant wait hahaha

[naxself]

@girljeanschris107 Nice to see someone else who loved "Specialist." :-)

[quivedder]

[2glassbottle2]

[damelvi]

hahaha estamos tan cabrones que vemos el mismo video el mismo dia!

[damelvi]

La mejor pieza que desprende el turn on the brigth lights

[oscarstupliki]

naaaaaaaaa

[girljeanschris107]

paul looks, if i can say it, shaggy...he looks awesome as usual but hes not as immaculate as he normally is, i dunno maybe its his hair ( which btw is sweet!!!)

[3third3eye3]

One of their best songs ever...

[monola24]

This song is like... like heaven on earth. My mind can't understand how to take it all in....

[AardNoot]

Does anyone know where this fragment comes from? Amazing session!

[coloradotank]

MTV

[mragan71]

I think it's from VH1

[carlo88moe]

this is such a dark ride, its overflowing w so much pathos i can hardly take it sometimes

[pris65tuy]

Noma interpol los amo
