Arcade Fire - Headlights Look Like Diamonds - 2005/08/25

[alexandrabimini]

I proposed to my girl, while this played in the background. Best moment of my life. Thank you Arcade Fire.

[plusthenminusit]

I love every bit of this song

[climber910]

Right there, that's my favorite band and I'm proud to say that. That's my favorite band :)

[xEyelidx]

Arcade Fire can do no wrong, can they. I think this is my very favourite song of theirs.

[13lackfriday]

@xEyelidx this is my favorite song of everything. it quite literally brings me to tears

[laresania8]

i looooove his little whoops in between



[KoiChannel]

look up "while the city sleeps - back when we knew", similar big and colourful soundscapes.

[theyellowairplane]

i dont understand, this band makes such awsome music, but they dress and look so fucking wierd... wtf is the matter with them

[Davidazarserur]

@theyellowairplane you see, its not about playing music, its about living in your notes.

[MatthewMulligan999]

@theyellowairplane They were touring an album called Funeral so they wore funeral style clothes

With their next album, Neon Bible they had neon strips attatched to their clothes.

The Suburbs meant they wore normal clothes like jeans and check shirts

[KalB971]

@MatthewMulligan999

I had NEVER thought of that ._.

[KatjaKat01]

@theyellowairplane They're artists. Whether they're painters or sculptors or poets or musicians, artists usually do their own thing. Especially when they're as dedicated to their art as this band is.

[NoPlanesGo]

I hope they feel the need to revamp their EP songs in their upcoming albums!

[angrybeaversfan]

@NoPlanesGo You can't revamp them. Their perfect as they are.

[begavr]

Wow. This is one of their best songs. They should play it live every time!

[exfranzskater]

They really should start playing this song live again.

[frankywdmn]

They are the only band capable of writing songs that, no matter how often I listen to them, I get chills and start to tear up.

[puggy3242]

omg... win puts so much emotion into his music is amazing! <33333 i envy u regine grrr lol

[OhSeamus]

351 likes and only 4 dislikes - let's pretend those four people accidentally hit the dislike button. bless you folks! ;)

[jshultz]

@OhSeamus they're just challenged. you have to excuse them.

[luyendao]

Regine is my wife, so fuck off - Win Butler said that.

[Masteryre]

Can't think of a song with a better opening than this.

[ohhcmoncmoncmon]

i love how they all used to dress up :)

[TFEF2]

I didn't give their EP a chance and now I regretting it. This is a amazing song, just bought the EP few days back. I love Regine (:

[samsonbristol]

this sounds so much like BSS- "Almost Crimes"

[corncornrocks]

I know this footage is only like 5 and a half years old but regine look so much younger

[IanEckie]

Sounds like Where is my Mind.

[urban40k]

ew, she is so not cute

[ShareTheMadness]

bahh, Regine is so cute here and her voice sounds amazing!

[thechupacabra95]

Amazing song.

[PinkCornelia]

I wanted te see this song live so bad when I saw them live, too bad they haven't played since a long time

[losinghell]

this song was written by butler and his wife on their first date, on butler´s flat

[corncornrocks]

@losinghell says who?

[TheWanderley13]

I JUST LOVE SARA!!

[BehindTheSea29]

Love the strings live!

[WrongFilesGalore]

I read Regine and Win wrote this on their first date. The one that started it all, I guess! : )

[xdestroymecarefully]

@WrongFilesGalore So CUTE.

[MichenziMarzano]

Ah amazin

[11952Rgirl]

So freakin great. How much better can this get?? Looking forward to Aug and new release. Whew, I have listened over and over and it gets better every time. Go Arcade Fire. Keep entertaining us!

[tom30231]

the greatest band in the history of the world

[heettan]

Just i that descovered this wonderful band in chuck?

[Canirow]

lots of amazing footage from an amazing concert in a perfect setting

wtb time machine

[22667121]

I hadn't even heard of this band until they were announced headlining leeds, but they are actually class! I cant wait to see them =]

[Questina]

great song! when do we have the new album? anyone know?

[batuadeusagrat]

@Questina in August it'll be out!!

[globalfreedumb]

amazing song , made my heart cry

[reya10276]

This song rocks!

[SpockToEnterprise]

masterpiece

[amorphos]

they are on the bonaroo lineup, fuuu I wish I lived in Tennessee.!!ughh

[ilovemyhoens]

RR Perry!

[GodShine]

absolutely awesome !!!

[fast3dward3]

What kind of guitar is Richard Reed Perry playing?

[leochestertrudel]

I believe he's playing a Gretcsh hollow body

[MadmanAcrossTheWater]

hollow body, yes. Gretsch, not.

[shescreamedno]

for all the negative people out there, let's see you make an album and sell out shows. yeah i didn't think so. so shut up with your stupid comments. you have no room to talk unless you produce music like they do.

[WlSEGUY]

i never said anything negative so whats with all the thumbs downs?

[theMnM182]

I would give a thumbs up but it won't let me.  I agree with you your comment was actually complimenting their energy.

[freydey]

@WlSEGUY THUMBS DOWN HAHA

[basketbal]

as a musician, i'd have to say they are amazing but the girls voice kills some of the songs for me. they should make a different girl sing.

[leochestertrudel]

Are you kidding, Régine's voice works perfectly. And she's one of the two bases of the band. You can't remove Régine.

I think her singing goes very well with the style. Like in Black Wave. But I guess that's an opinion.

[basketbal]

guess we have to agree to disagree here haha

[sjachulio]

@leochestertrudel

Moving her away is like taking kim deal away from pixies i agree with you

[rapawnsel]

@leochestertrudel people who hate on regine should all have one neck

[HawtForGiR]

@leochestertrudel Agreed, but I mean, seriously. One would think she'd improve over the years.

[singspiel18]

I agree. These guys are amazing. They go against all the conventions and make it work. So creative, so versatile, so passionate.

[leochestertrudel]

Who's saying negative things ;)

[royboy421]

hahaha

[PrivateIrishmayne]

Umphrey's McGee

[SMCM0]

haha, Iove that little yelp of Win's before the break from the lyrics, it just adds so much to the song!

[49tonio]

if they could sing? half the people parading as pop stars cant sing, or do u prefer girls aloud?

as for nerdishness, well, that really matters when the musics far superior to anything else thats around

[arvydas0069]

I wonder how much better they'd sound if they were good singers

[leochestertrudel]

They are?

Please shut the fuck up.

[ildelloambi]

the redhead guy is nerdy haha

[derka1337]

i love how all these kids look like nerds... its awesome cuz they are rich and famous!

[naseoj]

famous maybe, rich absolutely not.

[torres25]

you are cool. (this thing sucks at sarcasm)

[MsEarthIntruder]

I was a little worried that Regine wasn't going to be singing; the song wouldn't be the same without her. Another amazing song by AF.

[floggingmollyla]

this is Magic.

[Godlord3]

This is easily the best Arcade Fire song

[RollandB]

Richard kinda reminds me of Buddy Holly

[mindat21]

it's the arcade fire.

you are all doing the band wrong by saying it wrong. if you love them so much branch out. No one eays Doors. they say the doors. what are you listening too?

doors.

the arcade fire.

[guilovsh]

The official site says otherwise

[gnarcicles]

im quite sure that you're wrong

[sgthoneybee]

they seriously give me chills

[1PurpleElephant]

@sgthoneybee basically my reaction to most of the songs, depending on how much i let it engulf me...

[littlemissirishful]

@sgthoneybee same, but Im sitting in a cold room with no heating.

[meliohmy]

regines' voice just makes me happy

and richard is so cool he looks like buddy holly and napolean dynamites love child

[wannabemusican20]

I love the guitarist glasses!!

[Whistlejocket]

Awsome band thats it nothing else

[rojerbb]

el intro suena a bloc party - modern love ! :)

[majicodemejico]

el intro suena mas como a the pixies - where is my mind

[CRperro]

tienes toda la razon!

[jv0guano]

yeah, I thought the same as soon as started this song watchin the DVD.... " a pixies cover!!" ....instead, a part from the similar intro, that anyway it turns out to be interesting, the song is wonderful, really makes me crying!!

[heisjared]

i like how most of their songs are different and how different arcade fire sounds than anyone else but so awesome!

[djderk]

tambourine FAIL

[shescreamedno]

you fail.

[heisjared]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhh!!!!!!! lol

[djderk]

lol

[Arteist2020]

AF!

damn i wish they'd come to the N.O.

[mastertoni]

el intro suena a los pixies

[rojerbb]

suena a modern love de bloc party! :)

[JayHa451]

suena de amor, señor!

[MG53895]

i love regine

[charlieclement]

on their next tour they should defo play this every show, I saw them 3 times last year but only saw this song once and it was amazing

[Zorg2006]

Not heard this song before, beautiful.

[mwed]

love this one the best - still the favorite

[nicolaslevine]

Set all the Arcades on fire. Keep them fires burning.

[astm37]

so good i think i'm gonna cry..

[Baia1969]

aahh, soo damn good. They make wonderful music:)

★★★★★

[whatdoasittake]

truly the best band of the decade.

[Thelolmeister]

Eh? 24,679 views? What are people looking at thats better than this? This video should be compulsary viewing for access into YouTube. If you don't like- no- love The Arcade Fire then your a) a philistine b) never listened to them or c) probably not alive.

[bilbomarks]

The Mainstream audience prefers most of the garbage that's on Mtv.

[mzthisuseristaken]

such a shame

[stenw17]

They're looking at that cheesedick "SxePhil" and probably Fall Out Boy's latest rendition of that pederast Michael Jackson's "Beat It."

[mobako]

Too fucking true.. :[

[harryhho]

u guys need to stop jacking each other off cause your listening to something that a lot of people havnt heard off

i swear if arcade fire ever got popular u would be the first to be ragging them

*conformists*

[GrishAnnug]

They'll never be famous, BECAUSE they're so good; The majority of this world doesn't care for good music. Your assumption is a fallacy.

[harryhho]

possibly the most ironic thing ive ever read

but in 10 years u will understand why, so why bother esplaining it to you? just wait until tomolo -_-

[GrishAnnug]

They're not very famous, I know what you're implying.

[harryhho]

congratulations, you're mediocre!

[GrishAnnug]

*Rebuke stating the contrary position*

[RadioMuse1]

Why say that? I still like Coldplay, Muse, Radiohead, REM, U2, Pearl Jam, and dozens of other big name bands. Sure I think some of them have had misfires recently but I still believe they've all got another legendary album or at least a few ungodly good songs left in them. So I don't like X&Y, or Black Holes, but I don't like them because they're weaker than the albums that preceded them, not because the albums before that were less popular...

Some people just have taste? Or so I hope.

[mobako]

Yeah I agree..

But U2?

Pffffft.

[RadioMuse1]

Okay, U2 have done their best work already. But listen to the Joshua Tree, or hell, just Bullet In A Blue Sky and tell me there isn't something there.

[Carnane]

@Thelolmeister Or you listened to Neon Bible before Funeral.

That can kill love for Arcade Fire quick.

[elasticxplastic]

@Thelolmeister i wuv u

[soleilmh]

@Thelolmeister This comment is boss

[Mukkumukku]

keep them fires burning

[astm37]

holy crap that is amazing

[macionractaigh]

possibly my favourite arcade fire song, 5 stars.

forget those little minded people, they are not satisfied with amazing and beautiful music. They seem to be interested in 'bitches' and 'bling' and the rest of that psuedo-culture.

[SIlvrest]

wow, beautiful, really under-rated song

[p4tr10ts12]

Who gives a shit what they look like. They make amazing music. Why would you want them to be something different? They would not be Arcade Fire. And they pull off the look. Something I could never do. If it's beautiful people you wish to see, open a copy of People magazine.

[Balimeister]

I agree, I'm so fucking tired of looks being so important in music. It's like "that band sucks, because there's only ugly people there". How much does that makes sense, that looks an important part of MUSIC. What does music consist of? SOUND.

People are shit.

[Zecalran]

the world is childish nowadays.

[naturalyoghurt246]

Best live song ever! such an atmosphere

[161803]

Some critique: This band can't help but look like buffoons in live performance, no matter how good they sound. Also, Regine should keep quiet until the end...I mean, it's why the song works--Win's manly vocals giving way to Regine's feminine: a Doppler effect in reverse.

[Baia1969]

they have better versions of the song for sure, but it's almost a sin to say such things about them.

[chlolou10]

hm great song but the question is which lady is the most beautiful?

[tangobuddie]

Richard looks like such a nerd, they all do and so do i. i love this band :)

[Greenplastics]

@tangobuddie

i once had the chance to talk to some of the band, Richard was the only one who treated me like rubbish for no reason...

[Greenplastics]

@tangobuddie

i once met them outside the changing room by chance, at the back of the theatre where they were gonna play. Richard was the only one who treated me like rubbish, without any reason...

[desertmouse1]

shame they don't include this in their live performances very often any more.

[zerava199]

Najbolji bend na svijetu!

[Playgat]

drummer at around 4:09!!!!

[whereismykelly]

One of the best bands in existance

[Anjamanja]

my favorite song, I hope they gonna play in Vienna next month

[cultrapture]

hey, mr tambourine man!

[mitsukaizero]

AAAAAAARGH!!!! Their songs make me wanna cry!

[123jacksonj]

ARCADE FIRE ARE AMAZIN!!!!!!!!

[wolfarcade]

This is one of my favourite Arcade Fire songs

[OceaanBlue]

I love SO much this song <3

[WelcomeToTheJungleee]

amazing band!

[theclockisorange]

they neeed to play more of their first album live, its so goof

[ieuano]

damn this amazing! where did richard get that awesome suit from lol i want one!

[paddymacaloon]

I really dont think i am over reacting when i say these people make you glad to be alive. As an aspiring musician though i do wonder if i may as well just give up!! God these guys are good. "How can a band this loose be so tight" it's a stolen quote but dont know where i heard it

[Bollo1987]

this is my favourite version of the tune. got it off kazaa ages ago but lost it. on the album he sounds a bit whiny

[BayBeSarah]

They played it at the 2nd Berkeley show. BEAUTIFUL

[haileycomet]

<3 4ever Arcade Fire! Thank you for posting!

[cronoyuha]

holy shit i didnt know how good they did this live. wish they still played it.

[lomahermosa89]

muy buena banda loco!!! son lo mas!!!

[interpolislurve]

Words cannot describe how amazing these kids are. I get goosebumps evreytime I listen to this song, especially this stellar live performance.

[Bollo1987]

yeah interpol is well good too

[tjamesmckenney]

I cant believe it, their second album rocks, so many bands have one kick ass album and then put out junk, arcade fire rules, I cant get enough

[TylerA613]

this song is actually from their first album, the EP, which was released for widespread distribution after Funeral for whatever reason. it was recorded in 2002 i think..

[greenpolkadotz343]

Yep. Then it was released in 2003. =]

[TylerA613]

it was also a slightly different formation too, different drummer, guitar player(s), but the band continues...

[johnnyklef]

FUCKING BRILLIANT.

[arandompaul]

okay... to whoever posted that video... youre my hero!! iv been looking for a good video of head lights for soooo long! GAWD!!! this it good! THANK YOU!

[ezekieloak]

Fantastic Stuff. They are so good at keeping to their individual parts and not getting in each others way, making a wonderful sum. I wish they would do more in French.

and tail lights burn like coals, if anyone has neon bible footage or
