The chemistry they have here is unbelievable. This live version has more emotion and sounds even better than the album version. Whoever filmed this deserves an award.
There’s a gut wrenchingly clutching sadness and anger about this song that has made it linger in my head since the day I heard it, yet I find it very hard to actually bring my self to listen to it.
Usually those feelings can be associated with melancholy and I agree, it’s a mix of the chords the guitar play and the lyrics; hell even the title has the faint bit of sadness
MrSkateboardbassplay could be that she’s dead but I feel This song is about a girl that gets down. Every verse is dropped in poetically camouflaged sexual lines. Biggest hint is “catatonic sex toy, love joy diver”.
@@StackofPancakes126 sex and suicide. They were in a strange relationship, not a serious one, I believe, it was just sex. She was a drug addicted ("was just like her scuba days" were days when she's high) and he talks about the time she was alive and them kind of 'love' (well she was my catatonic sex-toy-love-joy-diver). This song is freaking sad. (sorry for my bad english)
That's rather interesting, I remember I was finally taking them seriously in 2006 on nye and it just then that I saw Saddam Hussein being hung from a stairwell. I was like "...shit let me get the fck off the internet, right now." I started listening to the bass solo and build up to Public Pervert, funny name - good song. Then I just stayed a fan. They really can build moods like no one else; the first four albums have the Carlos keys and bass.
@@iand4374 I think at first he really enjoyed it, you can see it here and in some other live videos where he seems to be so passionate, but then he got bored and wanted to play the guitar too, and the problems started
TVinmyEye so you’ve spent about 27 days just listening to this song in your life. Wow, that’s impressive! But no wonder, this song is the most beautiful one out there
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago. I'm no Joy Division New Order expert, but, I could swear this was them. I'll try to see them on tour. Great song, so glad I learned it.
thank you for this, there is nothing better than seeing a band you like before they got overly popular. these are rare moments to hold in such a high resolution.
Absolutely love seeing old footage of the late 90s/early 2000s New York indie bands. Incredible time during music. And man do I miss Carlos D! Monster player. Undoubtedly an influence on a legion of young bassists.
This one's called "Stella Was A Driver And She's Always Down When she walks down the street She knows there's people watching The building fronts are just fronts To hide the people watching her She once fell through the street Down the manhole in that bad way, he-ey The underground drip It's just like her scuba days Days Daze Days Daze Days She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away She was all right but she can't come out tonight she broke away She was all right 'cause the sea was so tight, air-tight She broke away broke away She broke away broke away She broke away broke away She broke away Stella is a diver Stella is a diver Stella is a diver Stella is a diver Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella Bottom of the ocean she dwells Bottom of the ocean she dwells Crevices carressed by fingers And fat blue serpent swells Stella Stella Oh, Stella Stella I love you, stella I love you, stella I love you She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away She was all right but she can't come out tonight she broke away She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, air-tight She broke away broke away She broke away broke away She broke away broke away She broke away Well she was my catatonic sex toy love-joy diver Well she was my catatonic sex toy love-joy diver She went down down down there into the sea She went down down down there down there for me, right on Oh yeah Right on It's so good Oh yeah Right on It's so good Oh yeah There's something that's invisible There's some things you can't hide Try to detect you when I'm sleeping In a wave you say goodbye There's something that's invisible There's some things you can't hide Try to detect you when I'm sleeping In a wave you say goodbye
The weirdest thing, I suddenly remembered going up a railing on my 1st day of school in 1st grade, then this automatically came on after something else I was listening to before I noticed the music to it reminded of something I dont think every happened. Then I saw the date.long story short this was the same day as my 1st day of my 1st grade. Weird. Amazing. I feel a completely strange sense nostalgia when listening to Interpol.
Wait... So you heard them there? You were just walking nearby or you went to this "concert"? Anyway, that sounds like... woooow. You don't even know how lucky you are!
I don't think we've ever thanked you enough for your amazing videos "Rocket Bar". I allow myself to do it now for everyone. Thank you very much Luis !!
Very intimate look at the band. I like the simple camera angles - how you can see their hands strumming in unison (and Carlos's spider fingers, haha). Really hoping to catch them on tour!
One of the best bands of the last fifteen years easily...!!! Just amazing live!!! Very happy to have been just 20 when this came out. Music now is shit compared to this...Who can compete with this?
The only bands who put on just as good a live show from this era, if not better, are Franz Ferdinand and The Strokes. These three bands defined my early 20s, so I feel you.
I was 16 and just loved the sound of this band and this song especially, but didn't pay attention to much of the lyrcis. Now that i've come back at 23 i realize what this song is actually about. right on haha
Hands down one of my favorite live performances to watch here on youtube. I saw them on this tour and was just blown away. a-f*cking-mazing. Just unreal. I would follow them to the ends of the earth if I had too. Thanks for posting this video :)
what a great video! props to whomever made this. I was too engrossed in seeing them LIVE to have stared through a lens & missed the moment when I saw Interpol, a mere 2 times many, many years ago. Interpol will always be in my head, in my stereo, in the car cd player, in my gut burning, evoking feelings I can't & don't want to shake. This is my permanent midnite music. my dopamine is doing backflips currently. INTERPOL I miss them, the line-up before bassist left, his fixed eery gaze, sexualLAVA
i love this.. i love seeing old videos from this era but i always feel a bit envious that i wasnt old enough to witness this firsthand. i was probably 5 when this came out & now 24 year old me is wishing i was this age back then
Видеоклипы
Imagine seeing Interpol in a fucking bar
does House of Blues count?
@@shotgun_shaun those are pretty small usually no? I’d say it def counts
It was a great show and the band was fun to hang out with, except for the keyboard player, who I made dance while I threw change at his feet.
i envy everyone who was at this show
agree, me too
the things is they probably had no idea how amazing and special it was. just another night out like any other.
Jacobo Pesadilla me too
I was there. It was amazing. Drove down from Iowa City and drove back the same night.
i don't understand why anyone are singing?, if i was there i probably could be singing a lot.....
"This ones called Stella is a diver and she's always down."
+DressedInRags lol is Paul from the uk
***** I should just delete my comment
+Zesty Sauce UK born but NYC raised
Lmao
like sean connery saying it right? i know
This song still kills me.
Stella killed herself
2021- this day
3:39 When everyone syncs together for 3 simultaneous down strums.. so satisfying
somehow i didnt even notice this thanks for pointing that out
so sick
Man @3:52 that extra little layer it’s so satisfying and dark love hearing it
The chemistry they have here is unbelievable. This live version has more emotion and sounds even better than the album version. Whoever filmed this deserves an award.
holy shit, these guys are the definition of cool.
no, that is my friend Carlisle.
Holy shit, you are the definition of a douche.
hell yeah
bad day ay?
These guy are awesome.

That was nice to read, it’s cool when a song can do that.
this is the darkest song on the album and I'd say that's pretty telling
@@tutorialeshtmlprod idk I always thought it was about blowjobs

Welcome to Interpol
What an absolute masterpiece of a song from beginning to end. Truly a work of art
❤Yes. It truly is.
My favorite Interpol song
Same and nice profile pic
+crazyshawn5000 same here
It's mine too
paul banks was “hello sir, nice to meet you” here, and he is “your daughter calls me daddy too” now
Legend.
my daughter will be called Stella in honor of this.
Ana Morel but this song is about a girl committing suicide :\
MrSkateboardbassplay could be that she’s dead but I feel This song is about a girl that gets down. Every verse is dropped in poetically camouflaged sexual lines. Biggest hint is “catatonic sex toy, love joy diver”.

I want to write a love story about Stella and Roland.
Stella’s a great name
I do not get tired of watching this video. Stelllaaa Ohhh Steeeeeellllaaaaa
Interpol is what i always listen to on new year´s eve
Omg that’s me rn!
Damn
Posted-new years eve so same:)
Turn on the Bright Lights is my go to during the month of March, which is when I first saw them March 1, 2003.
That's rather interesting, I remember I was finally taking them seriously in 2006 on nye and it just then that I saw Saddam Hussein being hung from a stairwell.

Baby Paul, so young yet such an old soul
Carlos looks like he's having so much goddamn fun.
It's a shame he came out and said he hated playing bass
@@iand4374 that sucks
@@iand4374 I think at first he really enjoyed it, you can see it here and in some other live videos where he seems to be so passionate, but then he got bored and wanted to play the guitar too, and the problems started
Carlos Dengler el mejor bajista que pudo tener Interpol, como se extraña la neta.
Este güey es old fan 💀
@@Leoxvque es old fan?
@@user-lv4wk2tt4r Que es una fan viejo. Jaja
@@Leoxv ah, no pensé que era literal, pensé que significaba algo malo
@@user-lv4wk2tt4r sisi. Que sigue la banda desde hace mucho tiempo
Underrated at their time, even more so in 2023. Is rock dead in 2023? maybe...but these guys fucking rock.
Raw, Authentic... Interpol at its finest.
this is gold
Loving the huge metal fan in the back.
According to my itunes back in 2008 ive listened to this song 6,500 times, I think I’ve nearly sextuple that by today. Interpol forever

bassist escaped directly from a Fritz Lang movie ...
This outro alone inspired me to learn music
This and Leif Erikson are the two best of the album
Sean Westfield i prefer NYC over Leif Erikson tbh
PDA, Obstacle 1, Say Hello to the Angels, The New, NYC, Untitled... They're all fucking supreme dude, don't compare these songs to each other.
I think exactly the same, they are the best on the whole album
Don't forget Say Hello To The Angels and The New
Am I the only one really likes obstacle 2 it’s grown on me the song I don’t like on that album is hands away it’s a good song I just don’t like it
I come here everytime I feel depressed at 5 am since 2017, this song always helps in someway
Remembering what a kick ass band with Carlos .D. is like. "good times"
nice username ;)
Yesterday I went to their show. And now, 20 years later, it's really nice to see how they became into one of the greatest bands. Love them so much ❤
Interpol and The Strokes... the best bands of the post punk revival movement.
Agreed👍
the strokes aren't post punk revival
How can you not like Interpol?
Absolutely love seeing old footage of the late 90s/early 2000s New York indie bands. Incredible time during music. And man do I miss Carlos D! Monster player. Undoubtedly an influence on a legion of young bassists.
the drumming on TOTBL was phenomenal, the rhythm was great in general
I haven't been listening to Interpol for even a year straight and have already, absolutely fallen in love (especially this album and song)
I miss Darlos D. His basslines were the backbone of all these legendary songs.
Omg dude they are fucking BABES. What an actual treasure this is.
Stella was my first dog, a Pomchi, RIP 21/04/2023. ♥️
I just discovered this song (in fact Interpol itself) and am truly mind-blown! How much swag and brilliance can be put into a song!
This one's called "Stella Was A Driver And She's Always Down
When she walks down the street
She knows there's people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her
She once fell through the street
Down the manhole in that bad way, he-ey
The underground drip
It's just like her scuba days
Days
Daze
Days
Daze
Days
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so tight, air-tight
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away
Stella is a diver
Stella is a diver
Stella is a diver
Stella is a diver
Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Crevices carressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells
Stella
Stella
Oh, Stella
Stella I love you, stella I love you, stella I love you
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight she broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, air-tight
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away
Well she was my catatonic sex toy love-joy diver
Well she was my catatonic sex toy love-joy diver
She went down down down there into the sea
She went down down down there down there for me, right on
Oh yeah
Right on
It's so good
Oh yeah
Right on
It's so good
Oh yeah
There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye

Paul Banks had a baby face in 2002. He looks so different now
Carlos Alaniz cough cough cigarettes 🚬
still buzzes my button...
He was 24 then, he's 41 now. Of course he looks very different.
Ciggs, coke, and age
@@hwanjung8230 I don't think he's ever been a coke guy
The best band of 2000-2010
so who's better now?
Kayneth Withmoor don't has :) interpol was the best band of indie of 2000-2010
Jesus Anguiano they're not indie
2014*
Jesus Anguiano who do u see as tje best bands for beforehand after thosendatesbtoo
Still here in 2018.

@@Cycluing yup same haha
Im so peanut butter n jealous of everyone who was there and the band members who got to write this beautiful piece
God, that bass is workin over time
Man, I love this band
Carlos had so much stage presence
The intro of this song, it's a way to stay alive, you can feel it in your soul..
this is incredible everyone is just vibing
This is my absolute favorite song from them! If there's any more songs as great as this, please feel free to recommend me more!
Do you like Bloc Party - Banquet?
Juilce that song is amazing
C'mere-Interpol
My fave interpol tunes are Obstacle 1 and PDA.. played very very loud, and accompanied by your favorite tipple, of course. : )
Non photo blue - Pinback

This was the first Interpol song I ever heard. Love at first listen
Paul looked so so handsome here 😍
Damn Carlos is a master bass
He is an old mate from the East Village NYC back in the 90's... DJ in the hood.. Never Look back....Cheers!!
Crank up the bass!
