If you listen, the entire album is a man's journey through religion, eventually losing faith altogether.

[lyndy2010]

@BEGLPA Who can blame him. The god thing is nice idea but is too much to ask of us in this day and age, although probably has been since religion started Who started religion. I'd believe it more if in the Church followed what they preach but they all too often hide behind it!! Cowards!

[BehindTheSea29]

I love this SO MUCH

how cool

[NeptuneSeaking]

They sung the song for the Where the wild things are trailer.

[monster1fat]

[BehindTheSea29]

@monster1fat Well, they used their song Wake Up for the trailer

<3 Arcade Fire!

As another poster pointed out, this really is a new medium. Not only in the sense of the video, but of the band itself. This is instrumentation at it's best. This band still hasn't signed with a record label and are recording their own music on their own terms. They're slapping the music industry in the face, especially if you own the CD and see how it is packaged. This is just a short clip, but the CD is great and well worth a listen.

so... [excuse me if i sound stupid, but] is this a christian song or what?

[domawnik]

@dotthewave568

How do you not know who Arcade Fire are? Anyway, why don't you listen to the words and maybe think about the title? - because I can't see any pro-biblical suggestions. Twat.

Wow, actually a pretty good youtube comment! Until the last word...

[Lionsonfire]

Win is a Christian but I believe this song is a critique of the commercialization of American Christianity and is a pretty harsh criticism if you really read the lyrics.

[dwondadwonda]

@Lionsonfire

When you say harsh, does that mean you think its too much? Because I think its spot on.

[wllOvOllw]

@dwondadwonda

You'll go nowhere with a christian in ANY truly spiritually stimulating conversation.They are spiritually dead accepting 1 single unchanging "truth" cutting one's self off from spiritual development and the very nature of life.To them,they ALREADY HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS(given to them).

I say,believe what one wishes as long as it doesn't infringe on others lives-condemn others beliefs.

DON'T let RELIGION RUIN the CONCEPT of GOD for you

GOD and RELIGION,2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS

[MrBrandNEWeyes]

@Lionsonfire I thought they were mormon?

[TheSleepySloth]

@MrBrandNEWeyes mormons are christians
