[txaggiesdude]

[derkazoid01]

short but perfect.

[BalletFreak1122]

NOBODY really cares about victorias!!!!!! sooo stop playing the darn commercial, and let us listen to the darn music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcshmeggy]

@BalletFreak1122 get add block plus noob

[5thkie1]

why do ppl ask 4 thumbs up? do we get a trophy or something?

[jimmy3750]

I teared up the first time I heard this. I wish it was summer in the 90s again.

[Zouski]

**-* LIKE DIS IF U CRY EVRYTIM *-**xx

[HongKongBoyz100]

@Zouski LIKE DIS IF U WSH THT PPL WOULD SPLL NRMALY AND NOT USE EMOTICONS

[mcshmeggy]

@HongKongBoyz100 you must not get the joke. look up" duke reads" on youtube

[ChupasFilms]

I'd only waste it again, the best line.

[bonjourawr]

my love for arcade fire is unexplainable

this album, is perfect

every single song

[tageniz]

Sublime.

It always makes me cry.

[Althalus1990]

I"m currently on a quest to listen to the so called Grammy Award for Album of the Year. I'm doing this because I don't want to be an ignorant tool who rejects a band because he's never heard of them. I'm Canadian and I've never even heard of them until the Grammy's. I'm finished the quest now and I am not convinced. This album has only made it as high as #52. It is a joke. The singer sucks and all the instrumentation is plain as prison walls. The lyrics do not say anything,,,

[MrGravityRider98]

@Althalus1990 All the facts that you said about Arcade Fire are false. The Suburbs debuted at #1 on the Irish Albums Chart, the UK Albums Chart, the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and the Canadian Albums Chart. And if you think that that the singer sucks, the instrumentation is plain as prison walls, and the lyrics don't say anything, then you are probably too used to listening to mainstream rap and hip hop crap to understand what real music is.

[TrickRubber]

i would love to waste it again, and again , and again ...

:(

[DanteDevil2727]

I want this to play while im dying

[frogblunt]

Oh man few songs can make me feel really really sad. Congrats Arcade Fire, you're the first to do it in a feel good way.

[frogblunt]

@frogblunt Actually wait no every Deftones son does that to me.

[TheJonesy0605]

Goose bumps.

[W3R3W00F]

I think this is one of the best album finishers ever conceived. It's sums up the album and continues the emotions and feelings so perfectly. Nostalgic, beautiful, and unforgettable.

This song always gets me. It gives me the chills... the best kind. :)

[marytrouble84]

the perfect ending! Im so glad I finally listened to it in its entirety *broken hearted

[hungrymormon]

childhood...memories...sad...h­appy...perfect album

[Shayneismyname]

I ended my friend's mix tape with this song.

[Peacemeetslove5]

This song always makes me wish I were with my dream boy in a field of flowers. Dressed in vintage clothes. Laughing and enjoying each others company. Oh, I can dream. <3

[MBArkestra]

@Peacemeetslove5 Ugh.

[Imnoatube]

How can people listen to this and think Eminem deserved the Grammy

[akatsukiyondaime2]

Check out Owen Pallet. He does all the string arrangements for them.

[Myworld1916]

My feelings on Arcade Fire's CDs:

Funeral: Makes me want to go on some adventures

Neon Bible Makes me want to relate at my life in certain stuffs

But for The Suburbs, It makes me want to cry with nostalgy :,(

[Puptard]

@Myworld1916 So true. This song in particular fills me with irrelevant nostalgia -yearning for a past that I am not really aware of... or maybe just sad the album has played through >.<

[SirRuneRange4]

listening to this just makes every muscle in my body just stop doing anything and completly relax.. makes you want to just slowly fade away into a little imaginary world

[amarang9]

i agree it should be longer, but it leaves you wanting, which is neat because it symbolizes some of the albums themes (i.e. nostalgia).

[kloexbabe]

could listen to all of 1.30 of this on repeat all day

[rocharface]

for some reason this song makes me want to cry

[Squemby]

Thanks SO much for uploading this...Glasgow was one of the best ever.

Peace.

[spreddy2]

great song, i made my own video for this too ;)

[ayanna00798]

does this remind anyone else of a beautiful mind? so incredible.

[tccompaq]

If you lke this you will love this -Boards of Canada -"Heard from a telegraph line"

[4x4Explorer]

words cant express the feelings i feel when i hear the bass come in toward the end. this whole song in general is amazing

[turnawry]

This gives me shivers up my spine

[livewhatyouvelearned]

Thanks for uploading this album, I've now listened to the entire thing with your videos. I appreiciate it, I can really relate to this album.

[Cocaloupe]

Really a sad, sad album.

[LordMoloch]

Actually I think the short running length is perfect and probably deliberate when you consider the subject matter of the lyrics. The song, like life itself, ends too fast.

Possibly the most perfect piece of artistic expression in contemporary music.

[DrNikui]

@LordMoloch Really well said

[Althalus1990]

@DrNikui:You know why he said it well?He knows how to use rhetoric.He is in fact feeding you

a well constructed lie.He is testing is ability to foster amicable relations by analyzing an argument over the song and by giving into both sides by compromising and adding some run-of-the-mill existential psychological bull,he garners your faith. Reject Arcade Fire. Send them back to my homeland from whence they came.They are my fellow citizens, and I wish to sentence them to silence.Reject Arcade Fire.

[mrsilvercoinnipples]

@LordMoloch :)

[joemanu12]

@LordMoloch Amen.

[oldmoviemusic]

I also wish this were longer. It's just too fucking good!

I went on a road trip this summer all across America, and it was 1:00 at night in the middle of desolate Wyoming when this last song of the album came on. There was something so peaceful and sad about that moment, about knowing that soon I would be going home. I can't explain it, but it was a moment where the music was so perfect for what I was feeling that I will never be able to forget it.

[miamimsen]

I love how, when this song ends the suburbs begins.. It sounds so freaking amazing!

[susanajca]

If I could have it back, all the time that we wasted, I would only waste again=Despite the mistakes we make in life, and and the difficulties, you would love to do it again and again.

[alucardlubu]

the strings remind me of the "Beautiful Mind" soundtrack

[MiniDJBeirne]

@alucardlubu good connection, one of the most moving movie scores ive heard

[purpletoothedfurby]

This song always gives me goosebumps.

[eheffelf]

Why do they always leave me wanting more?

[soundman5150]

The string arrangement is quite addictive.

[RunePyrite]

This song is terribly beautiful, perfect send-off for a great album. If only they could have stretched it out another minute or so...

[videoman223]

That makes me depressed the end of a perfect album with a perfect ending,

Just saw them live online too, this band is just fucking amazing.

[snagga09]

fml, song need to be longer.

[Sarrus25]

Simply not long enough. Very rarely do such beautiful songs come around :(

[iSykeZ]

why isn't this song longer :(

[leisurelydinner]

@iSykeZ i know :( i wish it went for at least another 2-3 minutes. Had the potential to build into a great great song. It's still good, but just too short

[belfastchild76]

@iSykeZ and who ever else.....just listen to the 1st song...ok no strings, but same song

[FUSTMUSIC]

@belfastchild76 for the love of God, yes.

[alex44996]

@iSykeZ

Maybe it's driving the point home that our childhoods are over all too soon?

[OhNoItsGojira]

@iSykeZ I feel a more appropriate title for this track would be "The Suburbs (Reprise)". We are treated to the slow humming of melancholy strings, followed by lyrics which offer a brief summation of what we've experienced throughout the album, and then it finally concludes with a reprise of the opening track's chorus and musical phrasings. It evokes such a sense of longing in me - a combined feeling of remorse and serenity. It's haunting. What an excellent way to end the album.

[corncornrocks]

better album conclusion than my body is a cage (good song, just not great album closer), but i still love in the backseat more as a concluder

[asimpleburial]

If Sprawl II is the big send-off with a crowd of cheering people, then this is that "someone special" saying their last goodbye. The perfect conclusion to a perfect album.

[Bayritto]

This song is so beautiful. The instrumental backing is moving beyond words

[dartsayless]

This album is...simply amazing...just a wonderful piece of work. Good job Arcade Fire you've done it again!

[batistabomber88]

Wonderful!
