I really love the album and song The Suburbs, this song and the album Funeral in my opinion is much better than The Suburbs away. And this only has 211k views.

I'm 15 and I have loved arcade fire since 2005 all my friends listing to lady gaga and crap. There good but I like real bands all of arcade fire's music is beautiful its just plain genius.
@Brysonzxp I'm only 5 months in the womb and I'm the only fetus that likes Arcade Fire, all the other fetus' listen to the little kid with the hair that looks like a helmet and lady caca. How unique you are, every video I see now has the "I'm only (insert age here) years old and I'm the only one that listens to this music" comment. We get it, your so cool.
@music2012 just what I always wanted to tell all these "hey im only xy (insert a number from 10-15) years old and i love this music since I am yz (xy-5). All my friends listen to abc (insert some random teenie pop idol) but I still like it because I'm a rebell and I just stick to what I do, thinking "whatever" *gangsta gesture* "
so well done, I have always been to lazy. ;)
anyway: GREAT song, and this coming from someone who only just turned... *oh you nearly got me* ;)
@music2012 I get that you're tired of these comments but just becuz you see them in every video doesn't mean they're not true. I actually think it's great that young ppl (by that I mean Brysonzxp, myself & many others lol) have a good taste in music, & maybe they come here & say it out becuz they have nobody to share it with (especially their friends who don't appreciate this type of music) But if they add something like: "Thumbs up if you also love...", that's when it really gets annoying.
@soyousay18 It depends. If they play the song exactly the same live then the recorded version will be better. It can't be topped. But a band like the chili peppers for example add new parts to songs and play solos different live sometimes. That type of live playing can make songs better live because they give them a whole new dimension. In my opinion, that is what great live bands do.
@soyousay18 Many times the recorded version is too overproduced and loses it raw quality. There are some songs that i hate on the album, but love when played live.
saw them in Toronto last weekend with my love. They were incredible live. They sound every bit as good live. So much energy on stage. The visuals were visceral and appropriate. Would see them again anytime anywhere.
I've always loved hip-hop, but I've grown to love to indie rock too. If there's room for Ghostface, there's room for an amazing band like Arcade Fire. This song moves me.
arcade fire is the modern day arcade fire. the beatles and jefferson airplanes have all done what they have done. it is in the past, and forever will stay that way. we should simply feel lucky that bands like this one are here now.
hard to pick my favorite arcade fire song so i picked one that wasn't but that i still liked...does that make sense? also, just got my MSG august tickets in the mail. now i need to pick someone to come with! yay!
these guys are a modern day jefferson airplane. the only band that i can compare it to. back then people listened to zeppelin and today wolfmother. i would take my jefferson airplane and arcade fire any day of the week.
i showed my music theory teacher this band, n he was highly impressed.. then i had to analyze this song and convert it to all voices... which killed the song for me for some time but its just too good to get killed. i love it =]
@i2Life Yep. Sometimes, if I'm in the car or something, the radio will turn on, and just the crap that people listen to... it makes me sad. People are missing out!!
@meh448 I cannot wait to see them at the Osheaga music and art festival in Montreal! However, as a Montreal band playing at their largest Montreal performance to date... meeting them seems highly unlikely, I am quite envious of you for that.
@i2Life They were beautiful live. I saw them April 27th in Indianapolis. I was in the second row. I was so sad when the concert was over, I hated the drive home and not seeing Win singing /:
@i2Life I've just seen them in Milan oh! what a brilliant concert! they're all great, still feeling good vibes, and today they're playing in Lucca (Tuscany) .........glad to share this amazing songs ciao!
@Simon0 They are a really great band!! I've heard of a handful of people who find out about them via their teachers, but don't let that make you think they're only a teacher-ish band... They're much much more than that. :)
I love this damn song. It's my favorite. I think I prefer the recording to any performance they have done of it live. For some reason it doesn't have the same effect... if that makes any sense. It's just fantastic.
Any thoughts on what this song is about? Everyone says it's so sweet, but to me it's sounds like he is obessed with an ex, and stalking her. I love the song, but yeah.
Obsessed? Hmm, you say it like it's something that doesn't happen often.
Everytime we are crushing on someone or the initial phase of falling in love there's a very thin line separating us from obsession. So no wonder so many understand the song and love it so much.
probably going to get negative feedback here but i think the this is ivy league cover is 10x better, and i do like arcade fire but if anyone agrees you can reply. took me like 10 hours to find the cover just to listen to it after i heard it once on pandora cause its nowhere on youtube

I don't know how anyone can possibly think that any song ever recorded sounds better live than the recorded version.
The whole reason of recording and producing a song is to record it at it's absolute peak.
Live songs may "feel" better. But they never sound it.
