Such a sad but powerful song. Much like the feelings you get when you do see your ex girlfriend who you loved with another person. Yea, I've been in that situation and this song describes it perfectly.
I think its done quite well, Its simplistic, the lyrics and video speak to the emotions of the the guy looking back at his ex. an the emotional roller-coaster that it leads to.
I think it's very litreal because of the idea the song has as it's watching this girl and also sees his side of emotions as if seeing a small part of life. That's why it may have been done that way. I'm not sure but not many videos ever make sense.
This is a great song. I remember when I found this album at my CD store in the reccomended section, the album art caught my eye. I listened to it, bought it. Loved it. :P
If we are talking about style, Airbourne Toxic Event is more like Interpol than Arcade Fire. They aren't the same, they are just similar. I love Arcade Fire and Interpol and it's awesome to have a new band with an awesome sound emerge. I am definitely going to keep my eye one these guys.
lol, there is some similarity between this song and neighborhood #1, but in my opinion it's more has to do with style (which you can't copyright). songwise... they're very different. i think anyone with a basic understanding of music should see that.
you guys need to mellow out and realize that both songs are amazing in their own right...some similarities yeah, but you can find 10 songs for every 1 that sound similar these days. its all about doing it unique and both those songs accomplish that, so chill and just enjoy the tunes...

You mean this song does or doesn't sound like Arcade Fire... Tunnels came first. I agree - this song and video are just over-hyped rip offs of AF - AF should sue for ATE copying their song, and then effing it up.
neighborhood #1 is fucking trash i swear to god how anyone could even say that sometime around midnight sounds like that shit must be fucked in the head. This is the best song ever written by human hands period.
Well aren't you a little hypocritical ngilliam12345. You used a word that probably got you wet at the thought of people having to look it up. You just couldn't resist it could you? I mean it would be too hard to follow your own advice wouldn't it.
Saw them at Northern Lights in Clifton Park, NY, on Saturday. Incredible show. Probably one of the best I've seen. And Anna signed the toe of my Chucks. :D
did they announce they are making another one? they are on tour still until next year, and perhaps more after that. thats good if they are, i heard some of the best songs are made while touring
he kinda sounds like bruce springsteen..they have a great sound, i like it alot...and this song is absolutely wonderful.
The words he uses are remarkable..picture perfect for the mood there trying to set, this should hit home with many single men who've lost a special someone..
this song is amazingly beautiful, but im disappointed with both videos. they had a chance to make this video completely show this story, but they only showed about 10% of it. the other 90 was just fast moving camera angles of the different members.
this song is so beautiful...people think its just some guy who sings really low and doesnt care about what hes singing....but really, you dont have to scream, or swoon your voice or whatever, to connect with the person singing, true emotion can be recognized by people who have felt this...this song speaks to me, and i feel better when i here it....i love tate ^_^
this song is brilliant.........no offence but it sounds like ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN.....meets.....ARCADE FIRE......WHAT A CRACKING TUNE AND A QUALITY VOCALS.......YEEEEEEE HAAAA BRING IT ON.......
hey... is there any other songs by these guys where the singer sings like he does after "and your friend says "what is it, you look lik you've seen a ghost"" I prefer every part of the song after that cuz it sounds like it's sang with more emotion
that girl does not suit this video or song. how could someone be woo-ed by such a plain, stereotypical, boring, ordinary creature. the video is great besides her.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why is she so boring and bland, like she walked out of an American Eagle or Gap store? there is nothing exotic, enchanting or graceful about her. I will never like the choice of female in this video. I have better taste. end. you may now being hating me fellow youtube-ers.
yeah but it's clear in the lyrics that they were in a long term relationship, so he's not just in it for looks anyway. he truly felt for her as a person, so it doesn't really matter what she looks like in the video anyway.
ok i cant stand this popy shit on the radio, and then all of a sudden there was theys uys, with an album and i loved it, same with in rainbows best albums this year.
favorite part of the song: "then she leaves with someone you dont know, but she makes sure you saw her as she looks right at you and bolts, as she walks out the door your blood boiling your stomach engrossed, when your friends say what is it, you've looked like you've seen a ghost."
...im sorry i think the lead singer is HOT!!
