U2 tribute - Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Lyrics:
Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to
rust.

I guess we'll just have to adjust.

With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin'
With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am, go-go, where I am

You'd better look out below

Let me explain something to the simlpetons who enjoy pointing out the obvious.

Yes, this isn't U2.

Arcade Fire's "Wake up" was played over the speakers at the start of every concert during the Vertigo Tour. The house lights were turned off at the end of the second verse, then the song slowly muted, the band walked on stage, and the concert began, with either "City of Blinding Lights" or "Vertigo".

That's probably why KOelise decided to use "Wake Up" in their tribute.

@Giantsfan2104 thanks finally I found someone who got it :)

[mappleyard]

I agree with Koelise

[KOelise]

@mappleyard

thanks, one in a million sometimes agrees with me. There is hope in this world LOL

My first u2 concert was during vertigo tour, i think this is a great song choice for a tribute.

@JorgeBramont

Vertigo Tour was the first and only show I went to, it was great, and that's why I chose Arcade Fire cause it was a nice opening :)

@burbabull U2

@Fil7boy Arcade Fire > U2 !

[tominrochester]

During the Conspiracy for Hope Tour in '85, The Police- in one of their final shows before breaking up- had U2 join them onstage and gave them their instruments after playing "Invisible Sun" together. While the performance had clear political implications, it was also a "passing of the torch" from one group to another. U2 seems to be passing the torch on in their own right, and the Arcade Fire are worthy recipient! If they are good enough for U2, they should be good enough for their fans too!

U2 is shit

[DrDavenstein]

I still don't think anyone gets it. It's a world famous band playing another band's song as their intro. There is no greater flattery. That's like a chef serving you an appetizer prepared by another chef, which he admires, before he prepares your dinner. :)

There is still a lot of people who doesn't understand that music, as an art, it's subjective....

you are like kids..my band is better! - no! my band is better!! come on guys, grow up...

[Hazmat81]

Why have superior music playing to pictures of a shittier band?
