Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) | Sound Opinions | Part 1 of 2

[JocelynlovesAG]

words can't express . . . pure genius. They sound magical live. <3

[CliffsRiffs]

Love this song - like better live.



[Oliviably]

Flawless. Genius!

[skrueg1]

Good lord! I love this band so much more with every little scrap I find on this ubiquitous internet thingy. Ok, cold shower now.

[gr33nboard]

Typed in "Sprawl 2 acoustic" and got lucky!!!

[screamwhenyouburn]

seems like Regine always have glitter on her face. Or is that just magic? gah! i love her

[Chick3nAWOL]

I love how amazingly electronic the song still sounds somehow.

[HeartandSoul59]

i didnt know this version , thanx a lot !!!

[d1g1man]

I love the fact that it's real instruments played by real musicians.

[jasequeira]

the girl looks like Mafalda, from Quino's cartoon :)

[SuperAlicia81]

@jasequeira I agree (estoy de acuerdo), both looks the same :p

[butchkitties]

This sounded great, but it's just not the same when the song doesn't end in Regine's "Woo-hoo RIBBONS!" dancing.

[MeYouDanzig]

OMG! Best band in the world!

[rodrigounda]

i just play ir for a week in a row! amazing song

[pdkais]

seriously me and my hubby are transfixed with this song its been playin all nite.

[8000cheese]

Win Butler on bass guitar everybody, how about a round of applause

[alexarmendano]

Superb!!!

[fergal46]

een briljant onder de edelstenen

[HeadHammerShark]

1 dislike? I guess we found Voldemort, kids.

[fergal46]

mijn god, wat een briljante uitvoering van een geweldig nummer!

[Paramoreluv1914]

AMAZING!!!! that's all I have to say:)

[fedeberckx]

whoever pushed the dislike button didn't "disliked" it but just finds that red is a beautiful colour.

[DarthBarkerSithLord]

My older brother just said she can't sing because I call his music "demon music".

[dweebcentric]

@DarthBarkerSithLord - you should have said... it's off cause it's being played in a small room and not on a huge stage in front of thousands of adoring people the way it was meant to be. feel free to end that statement with "asshole!"

[DarthBarkerSithLord]

@dweebcentric I can't call him that. I'm a Presbyterian and he will more than likely get me in trouble. Do you think Heavy Metal is Demon Music?

[dweebcentric]

@DarthBarkerSithLord - fair enough. i don't think it's demon music - just a bunch of folks who like really loud music and sometimes, obsess about death and things. harmless, really.

[DarthBarkerSithLord]

@dweebcentric I don't like the fact they scream themselves hoarse and do crazy things.

[dweebcentric]

@DarthBarkerSithLord - i'm no fan of heavy metal, but most of that stuff is for show. it's just theatrics.

[Annapaz25]

yeah.. sure.. with that voice, I'd marry her too!! :)

[bushgg12]

Arcade fire = second coming of christ. Check out the AF vid on my wall and let me know what you think.

Keep up the good vids!

[MRGOMEZALEX]

one dislike??? how can this have one....I dont understand.. >.>

[willzer808]

What about the matt black piano? Groovy or not groovy?

[pwnerinator]

Oh my god, Richard's voice at the end. AWESOME.

[Ponce1390]

2:28 to 2:30

<3

[DarthBarkerSithLord]

I can't tell if this is better than version track for the Suburbs or not.

[Rafterman26]

See you this weekend at Electric Picnic WWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!­!!

[willzer808]

@Rafterman26 saw them at the picnic 2011, my souls floated off into the heavens for the entire gig, it was so fantastic, never been to a gig like it, never thought i'd love a band the way i did years ago - not until the arcade fire came along.. Total legends. Hope you enjoyed the gig!

[dinamita00]

Beautiful x

[comingouttoplay]

The way Win looks at Regine...its love.

[Kyakker73]

its the dress Regine wore at the Halifax show. thats my only explanation why i am (otherwise an opeth mastodon - y metaly type guy) can simply not get enough of the arcade fire right now. it can't be purely canadian pride? Damn those hooks

[TheSlevinCalevra]

@Kyakker73 Win Butler is from Texas. Not trying to take the piss outta anyone, just stating the fact because I was surprised to learn it when someone told me.

[downwind4final]

dans la crainte

[MikeDeady]

This song, and in particular this acoustis version, has me in total awe.

This is Brillance at its very best.

I had the pleasure to see them live at Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, just 2 weeks ago, and this song was the last one that they played. +++++++++

[katiedid1023]

I wish there was a camera on each of them, as to see what parts they are all playing. I love this song so much, now i wanna dissect it!

[lordbossank]

God I love Regine's voice

[radicimo]

This performance is such sublime beauty. Best Sprawl II video. Beauty, talent, technique & attention all converge on this performance. I first heard it on the Sound Opinions podcast -- half-asleep -- at dawn on an overnight bus from Pittsburgh to NYC -- after a difficult week. It literally hooked my psyche and pulled it out of my delirium into consciousness and said behold pure beauty, while the early-light NJ sprawl crept past outside. Thank you to everyone involved in creating this.

[Michezzlo12]

BEST BAND EVER WITH KICK-ASS SONG!!!!

[2014CU]

is it me or is it weird seeing them in regular clothes? lol

[Breesanful]

Win's face at 0.40 is like "what the hell was that?" :D

[JasonBAlexander]

The change at 4 min 10 seconds...is this a shout out to Wildlife? If so...that is absolutely amazing...and as someone posted earlier, brings a tear to my eye.

[KKOPPI]

@JasonBAlexander

what the hell is wildlife?

[iminochrasy]

They're gods to me O.o

[TBW92]

wow this is great. Different arrangement done right

[thefulsen]

Can't stop listening to this!

[katiedid1023]

Tears. Tears everywhere. This is heaven sent.

[SayImAnEagle]

didnt show much of will. i almost thought he wasn't there

[tonox0]

Win: "That was good right?" that was AWESOME!

[bidsas26]

Oh my fuckin' god! this version is awesome!! God save Arcade Fire!

[begavr]

Amazing band

[Dannyishot100]

i love Win :)

[RueArsins]

I didn't know Richard haw that kind of voice, wish we could hear it more!

Best ending by far!

[heav3nly1]

@RueArsins I thought that was Win singing, Richard is just backing him up. ??

[RueArsins]

@heav3nly1 yea that's what i meant, Richards back-up singing.

[jydesign]

Melody at very end is from "Biko" by Peter Gabriel, they always choose great music to pay homage to...

[RedMapp1]

@jydesign i didn't notice it before, it's true!!!

[NoPlanesGo]

Loving Richards vocals at the end!

[naseoj]

WOW. Awesome new arrangement, perfectly executed. Unbelievable.

[collin4095]

TRANSCENDANT !!!
