He should have released his solo material under the name Interpaul.

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

(It ain't 'nothin...')

[@mramerecka]

Lol I kept thinking he sounded like the singer of Interpol, then I realized he was. He's gnarly.

[@punishr41]

Hell yeah! One of the best contemporary musicians we have.

[@jafarjaffery4859]

"Now and then I feel those beauties this life belies. They're like street lights they tunnel on and on into these deep nights"

[@galuhgalgalgal]

i still can't get the "so steep.." part out of my head, what kind of sorcery is this. super powerful hook mr. Banks...

[@ruijorge1922]

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.

[@matthewsnyder674]

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.

[@fronesis01]

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.

[@360Gamer2010]

I love Paul Banks' solo stuff and think every Interpol album is pure genius.

[@skylarwhite595]

this man speaks to my soul!

[@provi1085]

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.

i just love paul banks, interpol, julian plenti.. whatever this man creates is a masterpiece i will be purchasing this!

[@croutonscarf]

Great song! This is the most I've enjoyed hearing Paul's voice since Antics

[@TheNWMusic]

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.

[@HarryGeorgeRoberts92]

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

[@rominarojassepulveda3287]

🥺que melancolía escuchar esta canción

[@DanielCoralc8]

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

[@bimberandbigos]

Yep, a great tune! Also anxious to find out if his whole album will be as good!

Well what did you think?

🏡"The base" é uma trilha sonora de vida

[@hasangulee1979]

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

[@fritshits65]

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 !!!!

So many ppl is missing this. I kinda feel bad for them cuz this song is really awesome

I just went to a paul banks concert on december, and to be honest the way they played this song was just awesome.

Great song. Paul is fantastic

[@soundaddiction420]

Wow this is amazing. Definitely takes me away to another World....

[@Andiejulie18]

This song is so good!

[@giannipaladini2929]

All the other leaders of the rock bands would be nothing if they had to perform alone. He is always great, even alone.

[@AgustinCuca]

My neighbors should be loving this song by now.

[@jferret75]

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.

[@JoeOldest]

I love all of Interpol's albums, and the Julian Plenti album, so I can't wait for this one.

[@reacher29]

I've been around the block, I know my music, seriously struggling to describe the size of this track, I can't play it loud enough, amazing track

[@charlespage8692]

My theme song for 2014. So long ago. So Distant.

[@charlespage8692]

And yet so personal.

[@imagreatcommunicator]

I agree with this completely.

[@takeoats]

You communicated that very well

[@farianna134]

awesome song!

[@takeoats]

I agree Adelina

[@SuperPicaresque]

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.
