@OhFrancin The general consensus of that meaning is that it's a metaphor for executives in the music industry exploiting music and shunning creative talent like this band.
@rebeka136 son 7 en la banda, y sin algun instrumento la banda no sonaria igual, y si, la verdad si eres una idiota, comenzando por que escribes como una.
when I see this video and listen to this song, I get the feeling that I can reach everything in my life I want to... thanks for this AWESOME music, arcade fire! <3
Quizá no sean la mejor banda del mundo, quizá muchos otros no lo consideren como música, pero por favor si no les agrada la canción háganlo saber a través de los -Pulgares-. Pero es una canción bonita, no la mejor pero bueno. =D
Just been on a night out, come back home, 5:43 in the monrning, UK time. I have this song blasting.... neighbors are probably hating me...dont care. Would love to support this band some time. Amaszing. x
The "if I was etcc/........you know I would etc...", is unbelievable, amazing. Just amazing. Just been on night out, and back to this song, fucking great. WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT YOU!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Listened this to try to understand how they won and became popular. Meh, time to listen to some Breaking Benjamin and the better singer that should be more popular than these guys; and i rather listen to Sliversun Pickups over these guys.
@hatdancingninja LOL Breaking Benjamin... are you fucking serious? They are so bad and not original, almost at the Nickelback level.. I can understand that this is not your style of music but please.. Breaking Benjamin! its a fucking insult
@JamesUnited88 lol what??? What kind of girl is that? Man if she does such things than she isn't worth you dude! Stay happy and keep on listening to Arcade Fire! :D
1.222 likes and only 9 dislikes. that's a rare thing. seems like they're making a huge impression, maybe even on the hat0rz? :D let's just pretend those nine poor souls have missed the "like" button.
@jouetdudestin that's the reason I have to FORCE myself to listen to music other than Arcade Fire. :p You know, I kind of feel bad because I used to have so many favorite bands but after I've seen AF live I just can't stop listening to them. It's like they've put a spell on me. One I hope will never break. ;)
I'm just so happy I found this video on normal youtube. I used to watch it on VEVO, which was crap cause it had commercials all the time. Thanks uploader!
I'm going to be as enthusiastic as that guy whose only job is to pound away on the big drum. I can just imagine what he is thinking when he eats his cereal in the morning. Probably something like "THIS WILL BE THE BEST CEREAL EVER!"
i wonder when they will bring out an offical tour dvd for this tour and include sets from 2007 like reading and other shows as extras. I know i would buy it I wish i saw them at Hackney and O2 havent seen them since Reading 2007 and that was an epic set
I agree for once I like the live version better, I always seem to get attached to the studio version b/c I usually hear that first but not in this case
Girl in a white dress on drums, a violin, Lyric - "If I was yours, but I'm not" against raging guitars and percussion - I am infused with love for music all over again.
I saw them last night... Best live act I have ever seen! I've seen Muse, NIN, The black keys, the racontuers, kings of leon, Interpol... And so many more but Arcade Fire blew them away!!!!!!
Actually I agree in that the band's drumming is not exactly innovative, nowhere near the diverse orchestration etc...but then again imo part of what makes THIS song work is the hypnotic steadiness of the drums and the keyboard.
I've been listening to this song over and over for days. I love it. I love Arcade Fire. They are fresh and innovative. And talented. They all switch around on instrumnents and use any thing to make a sound (think magazines in an elevator, etc etc). They saved modern music. Long live Arcade Fire!
Here I thought anything released this year was garbage, with all that Lady Gaga nonsense and such. This song alone has changed my opinion, and gives me hope to a better music industry emerging in the future.
@monkeyladagain i like lady gaga and all but i agree, theres too much mainstream pop crap out right now. and auto tune or tone whatever it is. i hope you are right. cheers
A great song - waiting for the vinyl version of the new album 'The Suburbs' - hopefully they're back after the sophomore curse that was 'Neon Bible' - not that it's a bad album but after the 'Funeral' album, well, how do you top an album that good? Bravo....
