i love how this band shows they have compassion for the music they make. it seems like with some songs the lyrics describe things about them or about things in anyone's life. their music somehow soothes me with the way it sounds. that's why i love this band :)
They have so many songs that I didn't even know about! I thought the only songs AF ever had were on ARCADE FIRE EP, FUNERAL, NEON BIBLE, and THE SUBURBS. I've never even heard of the song Lenin, or Burning Briges, Breaking Hearts, Guns of Brixton, or Brazil! Where did they come from? Once again, when I thought I knew AF, they only become more and more mysterious!
@redcloud02 I think it lost a lot of the scratchy down-to-earth-ness that the demos and ep had, but gained a lot of maturity and self reflection on the way. both beautiful in their own way
An old man has a heart attack in the movie theater While my friend calls an ambulance Buster Keaton's dancing I wait for the punchline But it never comes Two blind kids in wheelchairs are crossing the street And they get hit by the ambulance Cause the light was green And I wait for the punchline But it never comes Promised you that I'd be true And now chandeliers are crashing down to the ground Waitresses drop their trays Trains derail with passengers While mother snakes eat...
@harryeffingpotter- I whole-heartedly agree! By far, the best band that ever formed and the old stuff was what got me into Arcade Fire in the first place :)
when the bass and drums kick in its so fucking good i want to cry, and sometimes when ive had a couple of drinks i do in fact cry. best band of our time, hands down. and this old stuff proves it 100%
@harryeffingpotter Not so sure about that and I think Wyn Butler would agree. Have you tried Radiohead. They are my number 1 band and Arcade Fire is joint 2nd place with Grandaddy. Thom Yorke is The Emperor as far as I'm concerned and Wyn is just one of "The Kids". I'd try the Radiohead song "Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong" it kind of fits with this song.
@iliketacos27 ... okay, it's listed as "miscellaneous in my Itunes!" Obviously not an album... sounds like its as the guy sadi, bootleg, demo, etc.etc.etc. I got it from my flatmate! I'm sure it's been used in an advert at some point in the UK!
wow... this is gorgeous. i had never heard it before. i'm in love with it. if someone knows how to purchase it, i really want to use it for a lyrical dance
the 2001 demos. its a bootleg that i gave an arm and a leg to get from this guy who has connections with the band. don't know how this guy got it but its hard to find. in the attic is in my opinion the best song on the album.
I'm such a youtube junkie to have found this . . .

The Suburbs lost a bit of the emotion that these demos, and other albums had I think. It sounded a bit too perfect sometimes...still epic though.
