[JackTmP]

@34celladoor Gracias de igual manera ... Si sabia que estudio en Mexico y lo he escuchado en varias entrevistas hablandas en español ... Yo me quedaria atonito si crusara unas cuantas palabras conmigo! jejeje ha de ser toda una experiencia ... Disculpa que conteste con mil años de atrazo pero ya no abria esta cuenta desde hace mucho ... Paz! ;)

Now if HMG5588 would stop trolling for a second I got somethin'. Song lyrics in general aren't necessarily bad. It's more a matter of what one pulls from them. Obviously the rest of us are pulling more from it than he is. Doesn't mean they're bad. I'm sure there are plenty of people who pull more from Ke$ha lyrics than we do. But I will say that HMG5588 has good taste in music. Joy Division what up.

[jdury]

This song's GREAT! Should have closed Skyscraper...

[4everloka]

cool song! i love it =D

[DavidCenter]

This would make an amazing Interpol song.

[smutyhouse]

provocative*

[DanxDarko]

this song is great but i hate the fact that theres always amazing songs never released on the albums

[yanareyes]

sorry...but i'm not gonna kiss your ass for this one because the lyrics are good and the song is poignant. i happen to like it, the problem is it isn't available here where i live or online.. so i'm watching this to listen to this wonderful song.

[HMG5588]

Hey that's ok. If anything, it proves that there will always be someone gifted with enough insight to find that connection with an emotion expressed in a song. And that is a great blessing from above. Every time I listen to Sonic Youth's "Antenna", I think of seeing that beautiful Iranian woman dieing in front of my eyes from a gun shot wound straight through her heart. The song has nothing to do with that horrible event. But that 's what I instantly feel the song is about... for me.

[yanareyes]

i was prepping myself for a word war with you but i am pleasantly surprised you took my message in a positive light.

peace man!

[yanareyes]

you wrote songs like this when you were in 2nd grade? let's hear it then.

[HMG5588]

Well that's the problem. When I was writing lyrics like this at 7, I couldn't get a record deal. Now-a-days I guess any one coming out with lyrics like this here can get a record deal. Admit it! This song's lyrics suck ass. Paul's got to know when he fucks up. Don't kiss his ass. Tell him that this reeks of cat crap on a hot tin roof and to do better next time. That's how a true artist grows to be better.  Tuff-Love!

[glasses92]

maybe you're right...if that be the case then you'll be glad to know that it isn't on the album, so no this song dind't score him a record deal, his other work with interpol and writing for the gotham news paper shows off his true talent

[HMG5588]

Please don't take my critical view of this song's lyrics as a judgement of a lack of talent. It's just that some times it helps to have some one proof read your lyrics before publishing. Now that's hard to do when the whole point of a poem or lyric is to express an internal stream of consciousness into a group of sentences that help the listener understand an emotion if not the entire spirit of the experience. To that, I think Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth is a master of the lyric and song.

[HMG5588]

Wo wo wo what horrible lyrics.  I worte songs like this when I was in 2nd grade.

No more Food Channel watching for Julian Plenti. And if he starts using a symbol for a name, I'm sueing!

Prince

[moviewatcher304]

what are you talking about??? if you wrote lyrics like that when you were in 2nd grade thats pretty fuckin incredible but you didnt so shut up kid

[HMG5588]

What's this? Your'e defending this dribble? Well that shows your level of sophistication. How old are you? What books have you read? Pull your head out of your ass and listen to some REAL LYRICS. PINK FLOYD!!!

[moviewatcher304]

I dont think my age matters but im 14. Right now im reading Macbeth. Pink floyd lost its touch a lond time ago. By the way why are you watching this video in the first place?

[HMG5588]

I'm 40 and have no desire to pick fights with a 14 year old. But I am glad that you are reading MacBeth! I can remember a band called Joy Division when I was 14. I bought their album (LP - Unknown Pleasures) and remember being blown away by the lyrics and sound of the music. That was an incredible experience. I had a similar experience hearing Interpol's PDA. Paul is a great singer, but most of his lyrics need a rewrite. Song 7 I think is his best.

[smutyhouse]

I understand you dont want to argue with kids but im sure you know your first comment was extremely provokative. Also if you were able to write lyrics such as this since being so young, why not write some now and get a record deal like you said?

[HMG5588]

In the 2nd grade, we were given homework every other Friday to write short 4 to 8 line poems to learn how to connect our subconscious to language. Most of my poems were horrible. A few were ok. And a handful were kinda good according to my teacher. But when I was 14 in 1980, my friend's older brother played an LP called "Unknown Pleasures" by Joy Division. The songs and lyrics are mind bending, brutal, and beautiful. I wish I could write like that. Few can. Paul Banks can't.

[smutyhouse]

Nobody your debating with here said he could, it was you who initiated the comprasion. Plus you didnt really address the points i made.

[HMG5588]

What exactly is your point??? These lyrics suck. I wrote better lyrics when I was 7. And I'm not even an "artist". And given what passes for artistry today, I wouldn't want to be. The fact that people think this song is "provacative", comparing yourself to a sandwich wrapped in cellophane that can't stay fresh, is so ridiculous I have to laugh. You're defending these lyrics??? You need to throw away your CD / MP3 song collection and start over. Tell me what this song saying to you???

[jessiebelle623]

Learn to spell before you try to sound all smart. :-P

[smutyhouse]

uh oh the youtube spelling police are about

[jessiebelle623]

At your service. ;)

[Ash33rd]

[cjhasfallen22]

[34cellardoor]

@JackTmP Ya me paricias que eras de Mexico. Yo soy de Venezuela y hubiera traducido la cancion para ti pero mi espanol ya no es tan bueno. Yo conoci Paul aces 6 anos y el habla espanol y frances muy bien. Me quede impresionada, porque tomo su tiempo de hablar conmigo. Disculpame por mis errores.

[JackTmP]

Disculpen si alguien fuera tan amable de pasarme la traduccion de esta rola se lo agradeseria bastante...bueno pues gracias de antemano por el que se tome la molestia que pasen una exelente vida y exito en sus proyectos...

[ieo18]

Solamente por que la opinión es Fascismo

No Significa que no puedas defender tus creencias

Siete centavos, un millón, es mágico

Repleto en mis sentimientos, no solo se conducen

Puede Significar que me drenan como un vampiro

Me amenazan

Y detienen todas mis ideas

Es como que hubiese celofan entre el exterior y yo

Y no creo que permanezca tranquilo

[griffs16]

i was so disappointed to not see this on the release 'julian plenti is........skyscraper'

its such a beautiful song!!!

[RandyRhoadsReborn]

why do these artist kepp recording without theyre band, the song is alright for INTERPOL witch paul is daniel slap sum sense into him, wait for inspiration dont force it, hes forcing it in this song, please dont go solo paul its alright i can wait for a good song.

[grlfrendinac0ma]

Artists do solo albums or side projects because they want to experiment with a different sound or just have other material they want to do. It's not a big deal. Personally, I encourage Paul to continue this project. It doesn't remind me at all of Interpol and I think it's fantastic.

[thepanamahat]

realeased today where i am - oh yessss ! ! !

[capdown5]

August 4th! cant wait, been listening to this song for ages now really wanna hear the whole album!

[Love4Picklesnowsies]

Sure, there are people out there who don't like Interpol but Paul Banks, as a solo artist can never disappoint. Just look at all the comments for the video! Not a Banks-hater in sight.

[glasses92]

i'm sure there are people who hate interopl and love this stuff

[arena77]

[hollywoodpurplehaze]

BRILLIANT-PERIOD-

[AlexBernal9]

como conseguiste todas estas canciones?

[dikkop0]

This seems very promising for the album coming up. What a wonderfull song. Unbelievable...

[weasel4915]

@dikkop0 It's a very basic chord progression, but the lyrics are very touching.. :) I think the simple chords suite it, the way he sings it. I think that's also why the song didn't make the cut.. but I have a feeling he's glad there's people downloading it and feeling comfort through it. I sure do.

[dikkop0]

@weasel4915 Yup it suits it very well.

Actually there is no song on Skyscraper I like as much as this one. =D

It would be nice to have a studio version of this one though.

[444fourford]

Is strange listen Paul Banks singing ¿indie?, ¿folk?, is like Kurt Cobain in MTV Unplugged

[apologiesaredue]

even though I knew he'd started out playing this way it is strange to hear it... his voice is much better than I thought

[SnakeDeShazer]

yeah!! great song!
