ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING SONGS IVE EVER HEARD! ARCADE FIRE FTW! XD THIS IS HOW I FEEL EVERY SECOND OF EVERYDAY! I LOVE THE "i need the darkness. someone please shut the light" PART! XD
The burbs cant be so bad! You live in sweet clean sprawl and not too far from a huge city center! You can still get to the venues, hipness, and sophistication of the big town then escape the nonsense of such a place.
@jimamia77 I agree, but don't you find some suburbs a bit cold and artificial? The song describes that feeling of living somwhere a bit further. (it has that something, for me at least)
Suburbia = lower quality of life, downtown living= superior living, especially in places like Manhattan, Vancouver, San Francisco , and all Western European metropolitan areas.
I <3LOOOVE<3 ALL OF THIS! Reginé Chassagne is mah love she is gorgeous! This song is my fave of faves of faveees it's so cool and irregular and beautiful! The music video is amaizing, I love history and unny old stuff and this theme "Suburbs" and just how the colours work togehter WOW! Plus: Arcade Fire is my favourite band and I'm gonna freaking see them in August! YESssh §_§ -kaching!
I love Régine's voice, I hope they let her have more songs on their next album. In The Backseat is my favorite AF song, this is a close second though.
I wonder if the title of this song is related in any way to the book "Mountains Beyond Mountains" written by Dr. Paul Farmer about Régine Chassagne's homeland of Haiti. It's an amazing book, BTW. Definitely a good read. It may make you cry.
@dawishard - Rick Prelinger is the man. Also, check out Skip Elsheimer over at AVGeeks dot com, another rescuer of obscurities... his site has gems like "Condoms: A Responsible Option" and "Army Laser Safety"
what does this song mean?
