WoW, I hardely ever read the "about this video" text, so I always thought this was the original video for this song. I realized it just now. Honestly, It's way better than the real one, IMO. I think you did a great job in capturing the same wicked style that the arcade fire use to show in their own videos.
I think this is the only unofficial video I have seen that has captured Arcade Fire's intentions. I like that you didn't take the lyrics literally, and I think the song makes sense with them interpreted either way. And filmically it's amazing too!
oh man.. i haven't seen this in so long. that'd be me, the kid who is singing. well other than my own failure you strum at the correct tempo during verses, i think that its a great video. well done man.
To each his own. I noticed you have 'HARRY POTTER TRIBUTE' listed in your favourite videos. Perhaps I should've included more wizardry. I had the school, the kids...just no wizardry. My bad.
I will check out what other vids you've favourited, as your love of 'Beatboxing flute inspector gadget remix' is a clear sign we share similar passions for good online entertainment.
wonderful, but i am a harry potter fanatic, not a biased pop freak or someone who doesn't understand both the physcological undertones and the folk tale element
Not to resort to the lowest of lows (pointing out spelling mistakes) but I suggest you learn how to spell 'physcological' before claiming to understand it. I don't mean to reign on your negativity purraid. You're totally sending out the Malfroy vibes dude. Stop being such a Muggle.
I suppose I fall into the camp that not all things must be literal. Some of my favourite music videos have nothing to do with the lyrics or themes of the songs. Thanks for checking it out anyways.
I must say, I prefer this by far to the actual (animated) video the band produced for the song. That was a sly reference to Pitchforkmedia at the end there, too! Excellent work.
