Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #2 (Laïka) - (2 of 10)

[starfoxsouth]

Favorite song

[metalmilitia137]

I bet the musicians had a great time playing that album. Since it had so many diverse instruments, I bet it felt like an orchestra

[DonnerParty1000]

In 20 years none will give a shit about Bieber and Arcade Fire will be rock legends. That comforts me.

[crockalotadizero]

@DonnerParty1000 stfu you like whore

[DonnerParty1000]

@crockalotadizero Don't resort to silly name calling.

[admiralgumdrops]

@DonnerParty1000 who the fuck is bieber

[diablogebi]

Einfach nur toll!!!

[dissentrix]

Great. Instead of having an incredibly sad story about the first animal sent into space, popular opinion has now latched on to... a skate shoe company. What next ?

[karinajonas12]

hahah ONE PERSON disliked this? wow. who's disliked NOW?!

[mosquitodawg]

Laika Boss!!! ;P

[shuddybuddy10]

@DannyGomez666 i like your style. and i happen to be a stupid twat, just one who loves arcade fire

[gigiluvsyooh]

Abusing the replay button!

[fancybrit93]

The song, the second track on Funeral, is (according to Win Butler) about the Russian space program sending the dog Laika into space.[1] Laika was the first living creature to orbit Earth. Butler told Pulse, a Minneapolis publication, "It’s a great story about a dog being the first living creature in space. Doing this spectacular thing, but not having food and watching itself fall back into the earth."

[churplaf]

@fancybrit93 Thank you. I was just about to post a link to the wikipedia article on Laika when I noticed your comment. Skate shoes, indeed. What do they teach in schools these days?

[Didoslament1]

@fancybrit93 This is my favorite song, but I hate listening to it for that reason. The story of Laika is one of the saddest I've ever heard.

[cr4ckb4by]

@fancybrit93 The first living creature to receive the most votes for best actor oscar was also a dog, rin tin tin. The academy chose not to give him the award though as they wanted the awards to be taken seriously.

[RabbitKingStudio]

wierd on wiki it also spelled Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #2 (Laïka)

[bluekr2n]

NO ITS LAIKA!!



[jimharvey87]

It's not about a skate company, why would you ever think that? It's named after the first dog sent into space by Russia in the 60s. This is well known.

[LeMunson]

I wish there was 10 Neighborhoods :(

[xroxyichickx]

at 0:08, I can totally hear U2's guitar signature sound in here. Awesome!

[MsFloopdedoop]

@xroxyichickx lol how can strumming a guitar be a "signature sound"...U2 didn't invent that technique of playing lol. thanks for coming out

[MikeLamb24]

This shit sucks. I gave it a shot at least. I'll stick with Nickelback for good rock

[dc5racer69]

@MikeLamb24 TRooooooooLLLllll



[DannyGomez666]

@justanotherfan6hd he is talking about the lakai skate shoe company that uses arcade fire songs often in their videos, its a light reference to the skate world that loves arcade fire... you stupid twat

[NakedCreep]

@DannyGomez666 Lakai also means "Leaf" in Vietnamese, if that has any meaning :V

[carcinogen20]

@DannyGomez666

[ ] told

[x] fucking told

[crockalotadizero]

@DannyGomez666 you're a fucking dumb cock. laika is the name of the first dog sent into space, that's what "alexander going on an adventure" is about, look it up.

you're the dumbest motherfucking cunt i've ever seen.

Go die in a fuckign pit you fucking faggot

[Luis11717]

@crockalotadizero You obviously don't get it. Which by your logic makes YOU the dumbest motherfucking cunt I've ever seen.

[TOmostPeople]

Why does this song make me think into the wild?

[greensolstice1]

Sounds weird after listening to it years after

[ru0107]

does this song not remind anyone of Modest Mouse?

[xchiaroscura]

@ru0107 asghhh, so much.

[LloveLlamaLlauren]

@ru0107 yeah it does

[IndieElmoAndLove]

THIS is Music ! I Wish People Could Appreciate REAL Music Like Thiss ! <33

[TheAntihero6212]

One person listens to any pop and R&B apart from Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and/or Demi Lovato (my personal faves).

[TheAntihero6212]

This song and "Rebellion (Lies)" (along with "Banquet" and "Helicopter" by Bloc Party) is the main reason why this album made the 2000s at least halfway decent for me when it came to music.

[FourstarSAMO]

Dude they spelled it wrong its Lakai

[megadeth773]

@FourstarSAMO No.

[justanotherfan6hd]

@FourstarSAMO wtf all these people who thumbed this guy up are retards if u knew anything about this album its spelled the way it is in the video -__-

[nickbatmale]

@justanotherfan6hd your the retard bro

[tomlop]

@FourstarSAMO What are you talking about exactly? The Cosmonaut dog?

[AlienHeartBeat]

@FourstarSAMO Excuse me if yer trollin' : Laika is a Russian name. Lol. It means dog and it was the name of the first animal sent into space.

[fancybrit93]

@AlienHeartBeat people on her are retarded. What the fuck are they talking about, a skate shop?

[Michson]

@FourstarSAMO heared about"laika"  ? no ? so stfu

[Michson]

@FourstarSAMO fucking moron

[8000cheese]

@FourstarSAMO huh?

[aijunk2]

@FourstarSAMO

No, I have the album and on the back it says "Laika"

[nicolemairi]

@FourstarSAMO It's spelled correctly. Wikipedia has it the same way. It's a translation, so maybe there are different spellings.

[TheReckoner007]

These guys are fucking great live :D

[twiztidchick62]

Me + This Song = Love!!

[Warstful]

darnit, this chorus gives me mad chills! that voice!

[TheMirrorNoir]

[funnyhead222]

[sainte5]

[Imnothecrazyone]

I noticed you posted the lyrics for the first video. Do you think you could do the same with all the songs?

[SpanishAtHeart2010]

Eargasm

[parkxi]

[coheed0211]

This makes me feel like I'm at an enormous bonfire and everyone is jumping around with face paint on.

[RSRatornra]

ALBUM OF THE YEAR, SUCK IT!

[herDullestSenses]

@RSRatornra I hope you know that The Suburbs got album of the year, and this is Funeral. But yes Arcade Fire = WINNING.

[RSRatornra]

@herDullestSenses yeah i know, i was really high when i posted it. Too lazy to delete my comment, fuck it.

[PiEqualsAwesome]

Arcade Fire: the best thing Montreal ever gave the world since Expo '67.

[gogolplex74]

@PiEqualsAwesome and Habs!

[drooj1]

@zorth41 1. you're*

2. you*

3. your*

4. Threatening to beat someone up over the internet.... does nothing at all.

[libertine505]

alexander supertramp! 

[Ryuhza]

@libertine505

Holy-crap, I cannot believe I didn't realize that sooner. God I feel ignorant now. I saw the movie and everything...

[OGMOGOGM]

0 PEOPLE DIDNT SET OUT FOR A GREAT ADVENT...oh wait

[angrybeaversfan]

@OGMOGOGM

You shouldnt have said something now some idiot disliked it.

[Xaenima1]

On hearing this song I couldn't help but hear Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie. So... I wasn't surprised to find Bowie's name appear when typing in 'Arcade Fire and D...' into Google shortly afterward. Anyone else recognise the parallels between this song and Ashes to Ashes?

[grafiene]

@Xaenima1

Yeah, it's quite obvious, atleast to me. But that doesn't matter or bother to enjoy them.

[Xaenima1]

@grafiene Certainly doesn't. Just pointing it out. Would love to these guys live.

[happyjack585]

wow, the rythm of the vocals really sounds like talking heads, it reminds me of psycho killer. pretty good song.

[markieowen4eva]

I can't stop listening to this album. It's a bit ridiculuous.

[Fixdal]

@markieowen4eva It's like that sometimes, I mean ridicolous

[FireCrackerzzz]

Laïka was a russian dog sent up into space without the intention of ever bringing it back. jussayin

[DevilEdwin1]

Lo mejor de la época!!!!!!

[arcadefirerocks]

The best song. In the best album. By the best band ever.

[RSRatornra]

Fucking raw emotion in this song, i fucking love it

[HondaCrab777]

I love this song. I love the album<3

[juancm42]

What a wonderful song, so heartwarming.

[royalnash]

this song goes hard but the rest of them album is sucks. musically wise

[Jeremy3711]

@royalnash

your grammar is sucks

[Awgez24]

@Jeremy3711 Your punctuation is missing.

[zorth41]

@royalnash your a faggot u know that right, i should kick ur ass

[TehDDC]

This track reminds me of the Beatles a bit...no other band has been able to do that with me. HOLY SHIT EPIC!!

[bigmanforce]

i also agree :)

[st3114rr]

wow music doesnt get better

[Munkat69]

@st3114rr I agree

[MrJacobCK]

@st3114rr I dunno about that ... Florence & The Machine are pretty much the shit. and the Yeah yeah yeahs.

[daddyfatsaxohten]

@MrJacobCK the yeah yeah yeahs really arent as good as theyre cracked up to be. i bought its blitz with high expectations and fell asleep about midway through

[WhimsicalNightmares]

@MrJacobCK yesss Florence + the Machine is crazy amazing (saw them live, one of the best days of my life [:), and oh land is pretty awesome, 'long with Beatles and Lykke Li :D but Arcade Fire is kind of awesome too

[LloveLlamaLlauren]

@WhimsicalNightmares kind of..? :(

[Inkblot1218]

@WhimsicalNightmares Whoa ... we have the same taste in music. XD

[coheed0211]

@st3114rr

It does, you just have to turn the volume up while this is playing.
