Arcade Fire - Black Mirror

[previouslyadjetive]

@wc91 I disagree on two counts; first, I find that, at least as far as my perception goes, arcade fire is much better than radio head and secondly, you mean 'is of equal caliber to' not '=', with would imply that they are exactly the same in every way.

[Slide2671]

If you ask me, this song is about looking inside of yourself to find the answers you seek. The bottle represents a question the man cannot answer. Everybody else is looking at the TV-headed guy, which presents no answers at all. So he travels into the lair underground, escaping from all of his doubts and hostilities (pyramid people), and then he finds the answer himself. This song isn't about the answer to what happens to us, it's about FINDING the answer of what happens to us.

Brilliant.

I can't stand Radiohead. But i was a fan of The Suburbs & have since picked up & enjoyed every Arcade Fire album.

[InATelescopeLens]

@wc91 Radiohead and Arcade Fire could be anything other than polar opposites... I don't see the logic behind your comparisons other than the fact that they are both indie.

[DrJohnsonMD]

Why do people always feel the need to compare two different bands -_-

[Scullyist90]

UN! DEUX! TROIS! DIS: MIRROIR NOIR! BLACK MIRROR!

[AltoCat1]

Arcade Fire is just too good.

We really do not deserve their awesomeness.

[cokursh]

arcade fire and radiohead are God's favorite bands

[weedipikia]

pack mule

[ineedmoney282]

so good

[tmill909]

thomas million's favorite arcade fire song. trippy vid(JOnas?) been to the belly of a whale my damn self. totally bellievable and relatable

[GenesisTree]

Why is it that this music for the most part goes unnoticed but rubbish like Justin Bieber is worshipped?

[Mitsimad]

@GenesisTree Isn't this just spam now? TROLOLOL

[GenesisTree]

@Mitsimad i guess? lol

[Eurylochuz]

@DieDisneyChannel To each his own

[ssavanahh]

What the fuck just happened?

[leariox9xxx]

@DieDisneyChannel If it wasn't for Radiohead Arcade Fire wouldn't even exist, Arcade Fire hasn't done anything unique or made anything as good as Radiohead

[andlight91]

i just had a mindgasm

[jjmaas1]

Did this video somehow slip me some acid?

[lombification]

WHATS GOING ON???

[LFZ15]

UN DEUX TROIS, MIROIR NOIR

[Cervicconstruction]

Someone much more talented with this box should put this over video from the gulf killer hole.

Spewing a black mirror for us to hold up to our self for not demanding of our self's and our government for an alternative to the energy source that will surly in the end be the end.

[CosmicBaleadas]

Radiohead and Arcade fire are amazing period

[prosperitydumpling]

I wish Arcade Fire would go on tour with NightShining for their album Dark Age, that'd be awesome. Two of my favorite artists!

[kalkazar13]

onedotzero FTW

[joelskisontherun]

damn. that was a cool ass video to an awsome song that makes even more sence now.

[smallmaniac]

@DieDisneyChannel That's your opinion and you're entitle to it. I, however, would like to respectfully disagree.

[1coldjosh]

ya this video is a little scary.. what an amazing song though..

[BehindTheSea29]

I watched this on their website not too long ago for the first time, and to be honest- it scared me a bit

But wow, this is some powerful and beautiful stuff.

[pbjDINOSAUR]

@ 13freitag13

They have a lot more than just unique style.

[13freitag13]

yeah, they just have an unique style

[dsprack]

I'm not a Radiohead fan, and I do prefer Arcade Fire. Maybe because they're Canadian :)

[th4Guy77]

this song makes me want to get into this band, i love it

[noopsrm]

amazing vid :)

[Noomie90]

This video really scares me for some reason, but I still love it

[elurseeknay]

radiohead is better

you cant match them

and i think everyone agrees that thom is a much beter singer than this guy

i love arcade fire though

[tany02]

ARCADE FIRE

[teamjakexx]

great great song :):)

[avedic]

F#m - F

best chord progression ever. gives it that haunting vibe.

[DanC221]

hey dude. There is no F#m-F in this song. Sorry if u talking about another song thats my mistake. This song is In Bb major. Main chord progression at start is Bb-Gb. Then verse progression is Gm-dm. And 'black mirror' chord progression is really tricky its Bb-(some crazy chord which consists of C Gb Bb and D). And yeh there is also a D and C chord in there when he sings the high bit. If u want to play it but capo on third fret and play as if u were playing it in G.

[joeb094]

The 'crazy chord', it really is a Bb something chord, would be Bb#5add9 , but the way you wrote the notes, with C as the bass note, would be C9b5(no 3). It's the same thing, just a different name

[BraydonSzafranski]

I think you mean the crazy chord is a Bbsus2 chord. The fifth is not sharpened from what I can tell.

[jimsimac]

I think they call that a -takes in deep breath- B-flat add 2 sustained 3rd augmented 7th -gasp- what a mouthful lol

[TehSimonious]

I love this video. Just has a really B-movie feel to it.

[samisawsome1086]

only thing on the market recently that sounds like music....arcade fire will definitely be known as a staple

[AgentMull]

While I agree with the idea of your statement, theres so many other bands out that are nearly as good as The Arcade Fire. Spoon, New Pornographers, The Decemberists just to name a few.

[samisawsome1086]

yeA their pretty good also, its sad seeing hella talented bands start losing it like incubus and metallica u kno

[MusicalEutopia]

Radiohead is magical. And they're hella popular. You're not looking.

[samisawsome1086]

i fucking love radiohead, there i still bands which are producing great music. i was being too closemindede i think

[Gewanhogan]

Arcade Fire way ahead of the pale.

Inspirational as to the posibility of real genuine experimentation with the human mind as it relates to the ability to communicate real emotion.

[Yulietab]

This mysterious video perfectly matches with this great song.

I think black mirror is the unconscious mind!!!!!

"The black mirror knows no reflection

It knows not pride or vanity

It cares not about your dreams"

[tara2berry2]

lol i love this song its on my ipod i listen to it every day HAHA and i never get tired of it. i love arcade fire

[lilnasty59]

i heard this song in a dream last night!

[churzz21]

thats what you said about soldja boi....

[ANTIONE888]

[baldyholly79]

Some strange shit, well done.

[nllleonard]

Wow! Thanks fx! Interesting, intense and otherworldly! Maybe not the best choice to watch right before bed, but then it could make for interesting dreams! I'll let you know! ;)

[willy350z]

Awesome video!!!

[Cameragirl803]

[effects69]
