  • First time I saw this video, back when I was like 13, I thought it was one of the best video ever created.

    I, obviously, still feel the same way about it.

  • Yeah! Beat that rich guy's ass! He took your porridge and used it for dog food! Beat him! Beat him! Tss...rich people...really stuck up and arrogant! Thinking they're better cause they have money...money ain't power...

  • Arcade Fire has the unique talent of making a song so innocent but you can still feel badass listening to them!

  • @Leyko4

    lol how? they're both awesome, but death cab= arcade fire? not so much

  • subliminal message bombs :P kinda cool

  • This video reminds me of grade 8 back in 2004/2005 : ' )

  • @xspithiax oh buddy I hear ya haha

  • the style of this video makes me think of world of goo

  • I stopped following popular music for about ten years (kids). Recently, I've been looking at lists, checking out bands. This song really blew me away. It's so gripping, catchy, and original. I tend to think that everything that CAN be said in rock has already been said. But these guys seem to making something truly new out of the fragments of rock.

    In short, I love this song.

  • i fell in love with a song (8)

  • greatt songggg

  • They is a bunch of crazy m.f.ers. And you either love or really hate this music. But I seem to like it's crazy charm.

  • there's this delightful old world quality to the whole Funeral album which seems to be echoed in this video

  • one of da best songs ever created... isnt it? a masterpiece, i love this amazing song; the sound reminds me to a strange felling, i dont know how 2 say it =/

    well, incredible xD perfect!

  • juggin7

    miles off with your explanation,nicely made up though ill give ya that

  • Well he is right about the name for Funeral it says they were dealing with death on the inside of the album cover.

  • Comment removed

  • the hoodlem jawas reek havock on stereotypical fat cats of the early 1900s

  • so beautifull

  • This song is incredible!

  • i really like the beginning of this song

  • Great song!  5 stars. Montreal?

  • yes they're from Montreal !

    This is where I am from also, we had a huge snow-icing rain storm in 1998 and the power went out for a few days. Wires, poles, trees were broken.... this is kind of where the idea came from for this song : )

  • My favorite song now:)

  • i heard they called it "Funeral" cuz it recorded in the cold Canadian north, apparently its as cold as death xD

  • @Mattmoo36 actually ccoes members of the bands Family died

  • no it wasn't because of that. they called it funeral because there were a lot of deaths on their families

  • I read that they named the band after an arcade fire that broke out in there town and alot of there friends died, I thought the album was named after it for the funerals did not know that.

  • @mrbear41208

    I read the reason online. When some kid beat up Win Butler as a kid, he told him this story about an arcade catching fire, and all these kids dying.

  • They named it Funeral because during the writing process they lost a bunch of family members. As for the band name, i'm pretty sure they just named it that because it sounded cool haha!

  • when is the new album released anyone?

  • @repoman12 found this: The band are currently working on their third album, due for a late May 2010 release with a single expected early in the year. The band's booking agent has also stated that live shows will be expected in the summer and will most likely begin with seasonal North-American festivals. The album is being produced by Markus Dravs who produced their last album, 2007's "Neon Bible", and engineered by Marcus Paquin who has also previously worked with the band.

  • @Thusyanthan wouldn't it be the fourth album?

  • @joorster yes your are right but I dont think they count the EP's as a full length "album".

  • it's out....

  • nice song

  • Kinda reminds me of "Optimistic"

  • radiohead :)

  • @orwin90

    Radiohead yes.. but WHY?

  • @3LARI because Radiohead is awesome. and so is Arcade Fire.

  • @orwin90

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

  • @jan56780 Probably my 2 favorite current groups. I'm from the states and there is a large amount of groups here that feel it necessary to scream their song's as a testament to how large they think "it" is. Don't be afraid to sound different, a very unique band with a very unique sound!

  • it's obvious youknow very little about music. "bland and complete shit" maybe... for idiots like you that cant really get the message! Radiohead's for the poets, writers, people with the sence of hopelessness... alot of their songs are based on books but you probably think they're bland and complete shit too. Arcade fire's easier to love i guess... commercially speaking of course... Don't get me wrong i like Arcade Fire... but had to say somethin cuz you're coment is just quite simply ridiculous

  • "Bland"

    I can understand why a halfwit might call Radiohead "pretentious" but "bland"?

    This makes be think you've barely heard any of their material since they've created music in just about every genre there is.

  • @soyousay18 Bland!!! Do you know what that word means even!!

  • Comment removed

  • NICE

  • no es un asco. es increible. pero tienes tu derecho a tener tu propia opinion - ya sea equivocada o no :P

  • good song whats there new album called

  • funeral :)

  • @karsty11 uh ... this is from their first album

  • thanks for reply! I need to work through all elbows albumns first but i might give this a look in the future.

  • excellent stuff!

  • ce titre a des faux airs de Bowie! : ))

  • can someone post the lyrics

  • There's a lot of lyrcs in this song! Just search in google, they'll be loads of sights with the lyrics. Def worth a look, outstanding lyrics!

  • I can't wait for their new album Early Next year. They are my favorite Band.

  • they have a new album coming out!? :DD!!!!

  • Fuck yes they do. May 2010. Gotta fuckin love this band it's instruments and vocals. IT's compelling.

    I can't wait to hear their singles released a few months before the album comes out.

    I know, the news of the fourth Arcade fire album made my day.

  • can someone recommend me any other albumns i might like if i liked funeral. (i already got neon bible, didnt like it as much as funeral)

  • Return to the Sea by Islands and Surfer Rosa by Pixies would be my first recommendations right after Funeral. Bell Orchestre has got some awesome stuff too.

  • alright thanks. I already heard the pixies albumn. I like quite a lot of pixies.

  • this song makes me thinkkk (:

    its so deeep :p

  • Unbelievable lyrics. I love this song <3

  • No this was the official video, mad actually, i remember seeing this for the first time, and just wondering why the song was so catchy, hahaha little did i know!

  • Isn't this the same illustrator who U2 just used for their video? Just curious.

  • official

  • Is this the official video to the song or is it made by a fan?

  • This is the official vid

  • Why is modest mouse here and pixies?

  • Yuppies vs. street kids!

    I'm homeless in Seattle so

    that's what this video reminds me of...

  • with a computer?...

  • i agree..

  • Comment removed

  • and modest mouse is just copying the Pixies.

    so it doesn't matter.

    personally i think arcade fire is ten times better than modest mouse!

  • modest mouse copy the pixies? they dont sound similar in any way... explain some more please? modest mouse are brilliant.

  • modest mouse's early stuff is soooooooooo copying the pixies. not even funny.

    i love modest mouse, i'm just saying....

  • ohhh right i get you. i'll listen to their early stuff some more :) thats cool i guess, i love both modest mouse and the pixies also... add me as a friend, i have none on youtube yet... :)

  • Whaaat??? Are you serious? Let me hear your band so I can tell you who you were inadvertantly "copying"

  • Arcade Fire's 'Funeral' was released a few months after Modest Mouse's 'Good News For People Who Love Bad News' (which was their 4th album already) in 2004.

    That song does have something to do with Modest Mouse... But this doesn't stop it from being an excellent one.

  • i hope latter you can visualize them.. the next step in technology

  • I really, really love listening to song while I'm walking on my school's campus with the headphones on HELL YEAH

  • i think arcade fire was known for their sound before modest mouse. i love arcade fire's sound :)

  • why did the munchkins destroy the power lines and kill the people? the people shouldn't have died they were just trying to stop the evil munchkins, I think the person who made this hates aristocrats too much

  • This music video is a clash of dirty homeless street kids Versus yuppy-snobby-ass rich people that won't share their money! I think that's what this is showing...in my opinion.
