[zimbo24560]

C'est enfin arrivé la nouvelle vie propose l'égalité entre les hommes et les Femmes au nom de l'Amour et de l'etre humain qui est le seul maitre sur cette planète.

[92andrewschulz]

this is my favourite song of all time and out of my 10 favourite, 6 of them are arcade fire songs

[ImVeryHungry95]

Why the fuck didn't I go?! Arcade Fire and The Libertines. Best reading lineup if not festival line up ever!

[MrAzijn]

@WeissStudios I'm gonna go with the best of the 2,000's and top five of all time.

[WeissStudios]

Win Butler: Greatest frontman of all time, or just the greatest frontman of the 2,000s?

[TheNewbornme]

Oh..I wish I had been there! I saw them last July in Milan, so amazing yes!!

[TheTomBombadill]

Greatest song of all time.

[courtneymcdonnell]

Fuck yes! bring on Electric Picnic 2011

[nobber1587]

Only thing wrong with dis is even at full volume it's not loud enough...

[bdgrey]

If not for "DLZ" this would be the most epic song ever written. Seriously, this song is so fu**ing epic that it makes every other song, but one, sound like it was written with equal parts marshmallows, kittens, rainbows, and last but not least, fear.

[andreab876]

one of the best songs ever

[beforethree]

thanx Arcade Fire for your integrity, talent, music and all the feelings you bring to me.

[bassEADG]

crack for the ears -must have more!

[genericmember1234]

Oh, I thought this was Reading Pennsylvania for a minute

[MrManmachine1]

I don't know why I get teary and emotional when I hear this song. Does anyone know if there's an official video?

[lyndy2010]

@MrManmachine1 Not an official one but check out the video by "justsomebody" brilliant and sad!!

[Lindyworld]

@lyndy2010 - do you have a link?

[13freitag13]

@Lindyworld just write arcade fire intervention in the search bar, is the one with the most views, a made up clip with scenes from sergei eisensteins battleship potemkin

[TBW92]

I don't know why but I'm addicted to this damn song. Maybe because it's fucking awesome

[titodude]

When you see this it makes you remember that music ir art and it makes you forget that garbage gaga and company exist

[Hondavtec21]

Carbon Fiber Violin FTMFW!!!

[McDonald12345]

My dream is to hear a little kid in his first music class asked what instrument he wants to play and to hear him respond, "I'm going to rock out on the xylophone like fucking Will Butler!"

[am2boni]

Love the song! God bless Arcade Fire!

[minisornabox]

I was there, just at the win feet!!! He's amazing!!!

[spitfirefrench]

anyone else think that the original organ used on this album sounds AMAZING. Too bad its the size of a house. Feel bad for the roadies on that tour lol

[Iphone4isnumber5]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

[ExodusPessoa]

Congratulations Arcade Fire for winning the 2011 Grammy for Album of the Year.

[sparky498]

@ExodusPessoa What an act! They are like the Who from the 60s, they seem to concentrate on their live performances. Their albums are fantastic but live, Unbelievable!

[ExodusPessoa]

@sparky498 Great comparison my friend I know more about hip hop than indie rock. And even I know they are the best band in the world (ha ha ha)!!!

[lyndy2010]

Are they brilliant or what. Flying to the UK economy. They are too modest with their music. They could make a fortune but it's not their agenda

[ChristineCreature]

@lyndy2010 and that is precisely what turned me onto them as a late bloomer... they are very down to earth and yet, so intense.. it's anthem music and it has me proud that they're canadian!

[lyndy2010]

@ChristineCreature I take it you are Canadian, You should be proud. We had the Beatles you have Arcade Fire. Doing music for love not money and remain down to earth, so many bands can't do it. I have faith that Win and Regine will :)

[ChristineCreature]

@lyndy2010 yes, i am canadian. :) and you're right about doing it for love vs money.. that's how i am with all the arts and music i do both for fun and professionally. it's so great to see something real and not overly processed through smoke and mirrors rise above like this.

[PortugalTheAccount]

@lyndy2010 Canada has arcade fire...barely. Wins from Houston, his brother Will was born in California, but the rest (at least i think) spent a large part of their life or were born in canada..i dont really know if i'd call them a canadian band. its weird.

[tommaz190]

@PortugalTheAccount Win says they are from Montreal, Canada multiple times. I think it's fair enough to call them Canadian

[lyndy2010]

@PortugalTheAccount Countries, borders, all man made so doesn't matter - band of the world:)

[PortugalTheAccount]

@lyndy2010 very well put!

[lyndy2010]

@PortugalTheAccount I so agree. The are so special. No band the same. They are brilliant and so talented and passionate and still real. No special effects just brilliant music and talent 

[bertazoid]

I was there!!!! yeaah

[funkdc]

everey spark of friendship and love will die without a home

[rampagingkitten]

they seem to have a lot more support at Reading than they did at Leeds?

I saw this set at Leeds the day before... blew my mind

[thejsmith01]

This hour and half was probably the greatest moment in my life

[funkdc]

@thejsmith01 certainly up there))

[chasenrox2009]

the acoustic guitar looks epic for this song.... now imagine if a legend like johnny cash cud do this song....

[skatinggaz]

epic win!

sorry had to be done.

[justsamgosney1]

'useless seed is sown' - i think this has two meanings within the context of the song, maybe what the father thinks about the son?

[KnfRaw]

This made me cry like a baby at Leeds. Crown of Love followed. I was in tears for about 10 minutes straight. Fucking amazing.

[alexcriminal14]

Win is so expressive when he sings !

[marcooooos7]

Doesnt get any better than this.

[mrdclayton]

@marcooooos7 You're right there. What more could a man want than being in the company of Regine, Sarah, Marika and of course not forgetting Arcade Fire.

[marcooooos7]

@mrdclayton Too right! Regine and Marika are amazing but Sarah is just wow!

[snappypappy1871]

WORKING FOR THE CHURCH WHILE YOUR FAMILY DIES!!!!

[connahharvey]

best ever
