Somethin' filled up my heart with nothin', someone told me not to cry. But now that I'm older, my heart's colder, and I can see that it's a lie. Children wake up, hold your mistake up, before they turn the summer into dust. If the children don't grow up, our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up. We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to rust.
One thing that I really like about this performance is you can really hear the accordion when Richard's playing it. In some performances you can't hear the accordion at all, on the cd you can hear it but just barely and it really adds nice music to this song!
I'm disgusted to say there was a time when I didnt like Arcade Fire. Now they are one of my favourite bands and I listen to them every single day. They make music like no one else I have ever heard and looking back, I cant believe I was so blind. New album is amazing as well.
@Ninety6DBfreak Yeah, one thing that caught a lot of people's attention at that concert were the boots that Regine was wearing. Haha! But yeah, that truly was one of their best. Another unforgettable version of this song was when they did it with David Bowie on "Fashion Rocks" in 2005.
What is it about Arcade Fire that touches us all so deeply and profoundly? Sure, the music and orchestration; the lyrics which resonate in anyone who has known darkness and found hope in capturing isolated moments of joy and expanding them through whatever means possible. More so the feeling one gets that the only reward they require is to create and share this music. Most of all though is the undeniable appeal of genius and humility on the same stage.
in spite of their (now) fame i think theyre under rated, i dont know of any band in history who can so stir and move the spirit, its really incredible how they do it...God given - far far in excess of all other bands
the quality is amazing, some of the best I've seen on youtube...and my god,,,how amazing are the Arcade Fire...it doesn't matter how many times I hear this song...it still gives me chills...fuckin A!
This series on You Tube has been simply extraordinary ...
After finally seeing Arcade Fire on Austin City Limits, I get to revel in the awesome power of a live Arcade Fire performance: All in HD quality media ... How fucking kewl is that ? ....
I want to thank ArcadeFireTube for bringing this sublime documentary to us ... It doesn't get any better than this .... Thanks !
