What I draw today will be recognized as shape I spoke to the base and the base says we wait So I smoke an old cigar, while the giant sun fades See, I spoke to the base, and the base says we wait 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 the 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'll win 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 hearts are all on are so steep So steep, so steep 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 (so steep} 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 right
Seen in tandem with the morning-after torpor so brilliantly expressed in "Rest My Chemistry', "The Base" is such a cool landing point on the necessary bedrock of equilibrium you have to found before you can enter adulthood. Yeah, you're older, but there's no defeat in adapting alongside it. It's just life.
The cover of the album location, is on the room where Paul used to stay every time he comes to Panama at the ex Hotel Trump Plaza. He took the picture of the building who was under construction at that time around 2012. I met him because I used to work as a Concierge in there. He is an introvert person but he is very kind and polite, he also have a house at Bocas del Toro. As I know and he told me record many songs of the album here in Panama. One day I was a party and I told to some of my friends that I met one of my favorite artist and we used to talk sometimes when he was around the lobby. In the party was a guy who has a recording studio. He said that a gringo always went there and he was playing all the instruments and he asked to him one time to play the drums, that guy is a metal head and he wasn't aware that Paul Banks was going to his place several days per week.
Excellent work. His ideas always go forward and he does not rely on old material. For an artist to do something like this and succeed, is really inspiring.
I swear there was a comment under this video talking about how Banks sees through his 'ego' and the Base referring to the true self just few days ago. It was enlightening to me and I pressed like. I couldn't find it now. Weird.
OOOOOOH ; how I`ve been craving for a new sound/song like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!......only to find out its done by P.Banks!!!!!...INTERPOL is among my most favorite bands coming out off the last 15 years......and now I find him going SOLO is being better than every magical Interpol song ever...: paul , you are A M A Z I N G !!!!
Am I the only one who interprets this song as how he feels about the way music industry filters his work and creativeness before authorizing the release of his work? awesome lyrics
thanks man. guy doesn't know that artists grow and there is no plot to lose. to say there is a plot is to say there is a predetermined direction or parameters to follow to find our discoveries. we all know life isn't like that, so neither should our art be. i devour the new Interpol albums as brief windows into where this amazing musician that i admire has gone and what he has emotionally experienced in his life. there is no "worse" or "better" Interpol albums, just older musicians.
Thank you for saying what needs to be said! This is a fantastic song and I love this new direction. Let's just enjoy the ride. I am, frankly, shocked by the reaction by some.
With a carefully crafted and impeccable taste in good music, I will be listening to this on repeat for the rest of the week. Paul Banks and/or Interpol can do no wrong
I came here seriously skeptical. This is mainly due to the fact that Interpol's last two albums, while having their moments (Pioneer to the Falls, Mammoth, The Heinrich Maneuver, Rest My Chemistry, Success, Memory Serves, Barricade), were pretty much a shadow of what they did on Turn On The Bright Lights and Antics, and that I didn't think much of Julian Plenti. I'm happy to say that this song has restored my faith in Banks. Seriously looking forward to seeing him play live in Nashville on 11/5.

He should have released his solo material under the name Interpaul.
innerpaul
Good one 👍
No, all caps: INTERPAUL
Hahaha! "That's gold, Jerry." "Gold!" 🍻
@@davida.quinnsr.5869El Paultor
there is something about his voice.... so unique
Jenn Matamoros definitely
i still can't get the "so steep.." part out of my head, what kind of sorcery is this. super powerful hook mr. Banks...
Lol I kept thinking he sounded like the singer of Interpol, then I realized he was. He's gnarly.
Hell yeah! One of the best contemporary musicians we have.
What I draw today will be recognized as shape
I spoke to the base and the base says we wait
So I smoke an old cigar, while the giant sun fades
See, I spoke to the base, and the base says we wait
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 the 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'll win
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 hearts are all on are so steep
So steep, so steep
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 (so steep}
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 right
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, I’m not complete without you as my Fan 🌹 I have you to be most thankful for 🌹🌹
(It ain't 'nothin...')
this man speaks to my soul!
"Now and then I feel those beauties this life belies. They're like street lights they tunnel on and on into these deep nights"
I love Paul Banks' solo stuff and think every Interpol album is pure genius.
Exactly. I also don't understand why most people don't like Out Love to Admire. Such a beautiful album. The more I listen to it, the more I like it.

i just love paul banks, interpol, julian plenti.. whatever this man creates is a masterpiece i will be purchasing this!
Great song! This is the most I've enjoyed hearing Paul's voice since Antics

This was my shit a few years ago
Isn't it funny how everything Paul writes seems to tell the story of everyone's problems.... so glad i'm alive while he is
I Looove the shit out of this song !

Thanks for the uploading! I was afraid that Paul wouldn´t sound good without Interpol, I was wrong, this sounds really good, and different!!!!
