Interpol - Gavilan (15 version)

[@ian_5184]

It's a real shame they never released this.

[@SanchezS1998]

How is this version not more popular?

[@Brendan-Black]

Likely because it's just "okay" 🤷

[@timothycoomswell3695]

Demo version still feels better especially the 3:20 onwards bit

[@callyann9921]

No clue I love the overlap lyrics and this version has the maybelline and why part

[@user-friendlyhuman]

Absolutely agree. Love this

[@K1LLtheSWITCH]

This is the definitive version

[@Wisdawms]

"Try the long way back" hmm, that sounds awfully evil for him to say

[@shaiharyaarasif696]

that's something i hadn't even noticed. damn.

[@bearzdlc2172]

the reason this was removed off bright lights was because they thought it was in poor taste after 9/11 happened

[@thisdeath]

what i dont get it

[@Latham06]

One of my favorite interpol lyrics and I cant even land on what It really means

[@thisdeath]

@@Latham06 what do you think what it means.. and do you know why did he say "awfully evil for him to say" cause i dont understand

[@bearzdlc2172]

Imagine if the TOTBL of Interpol somehow could just come back and make another album in the same style and feel but all new songs, my god that would be too good, I love antics and our love to admire but neither of them come close to the dark gritty sexy sound TOTBL had. Its just pure perfection.

[@DrLongSchIong]

El pintor is the closest we got to that sound

[@bearzdlc2172]

@@DrLongSchIong I disagree, nothing post Carlos sounds anything like Interpol anymore to me.

[@EvidentlyFire]

The bright lights can only be turned on once

[@dibanez_1350]

@@bearzdlc2172 it's actually better to change sound instead of repeating themselves over and over. it does differ in aesthetics a little bit, but theyre just writing what sounds "good" to them. its uneasy at times to ingest something you arent familiar with or feel too distant from it from the standpoint of where you are in your personal life. but they are good musicians at the end of the day. we will all feel the hurt when we start to see them age. just appreciate what they do for the art of music. Love.

[@supertommy1000ify]

Love this song! Both this and the 3rd demo are incredible! Even if they have different lyrics (After "It's a shame")

[@OtaconNachos]

Still baffled why they didn't put this on the 15th anniversary reissue. Another beast than the 3rd demo version.

[@peterfalkfan]

my favorite version 💞

[@Dml1991]

Yeah I sure do miss the early days When I was so drunk Tied up in so many ways Looking for the sanctity of love 'cause I might make you handsome Yeah, I might give you me Handsome, it's getting awfully tough Oh Yeah, to have the right means If it weren't for this fear, I just might really be someone But I can make it in peacetime, find some violence here and you come straight to me Oh we're starting up the rain again Starting up the rain again Starting to look the same again I said isn't that a shame It goes by By a fine wide mile You'll be there, for me sweetie pie You'll be there for the dream choir Drop your money away I might make you handsome I might if you plead Try the long way back You can stay travelling with that black cab You can stay travelling with that black cab Honey if you did it, I would do that Bitch slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah remain unseen Bitch slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah remain unseen Bitch slap Maybelline stay hidden Bitch slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah remain Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why Pumpkin don't you stray that far within the room 'Cause Grammy will be coming home soon You might get lost I said you might get lost Then I sure would miss you Babe, someday I'll break down Babe, don't break, I might drown Baby at this rate, time should slow down

[@thisdeath]

[@callyann9921]

Took a shot at the lyrics Gosh I sure do miss the early days When I was so drunk Tied up in so many ways Looking for a sanctity of love 'cause I might make you handsome Yeah, I might give you me But handsome, it's getting awfully tough Oh yeah, to have the right means If it weren't for this fear, I just might really be someone But I can't make it in peacetime, find some violence kid, and you come straight to me Oh we're starting up the rain again Starting up the rain again Starting to look the same again Isn't that a shame? It'll be for a while That you'll complete me and my hopes will all dry out For you all the finest of things (not sure what the other singing is) Well your dreams come true Now (?? 3 syllables) could be the answer Can't pay (campaign?) for my way But I might make you handsome I might give you glee You try the long way back Don't you stay traveling with that black cab It's a mirror in our worlds (stay traveling with that black cab) That we need to celebrate (stay traveling with that black cab) Like two astronauts we meet to concentrate on the stars and the moon (not sure what hes saying) Forever and ever (It begins, I have so much love to spend on you) Bitch slap Maybelline Stay hidden, yeah, remain unseen Why, why, why, Why, why, why, Why, why, why Pumpkin don't you stray far from that balloon 'Cause Grammy will be coming home soon And you might get lost I said you might get lost Girl, I sure would miss you Pumpkin don't you stray far from that balloon 'Cause Grammy will be coming home soon And you might get lost I said you might get lost Girl, I sure would miss you They? don't break I will now fall (?) Hey (??) was with these shades Sometimes come around Baby at this rate, time should slow down

Anyone knows if the first Interpol songs are under a specific royalties so they cannot play them ? ... I mean Song7, Precipitate, A Time To Be So Small ...

[@JopandiOnlyJopandi]

I guess they just don't want to play it...

[@franpinyol8500]

@@JopandiOnlyJopandi Such early songs were roughly not played at all even in the early days

[@JopandiOnlyJopandi]

​@@franpinyol8500 I think they just want to (or have to) play the most famous ones, like Evil or Obstacle 1. They did play some of these early songs on the early days but I don't think we have all these perfomances recorded. I might be wrong but, that's what I think.

[@timothycoomswell3695]

Precipitate sounds like a Tragically Hip song

[@JopandiOnlyJopandi]

@@timothycoomswell3695 which one?

omgosh carlos looks so white its scary 😭(lol no hard feeling, carlos is literally my fav bassist)

[@carlitosdinkler5213]
