uno de tantos problemas que yo he encontrado en Hollywood es, que los mismos latinos que ya son famosos y tienen nombre , se olvidaron loduro que es progresar y suvir esa escalera del exito. Yo le doy gracias a dios que siempre soy muy positivo , siempre habriendo las puertas no nomas para mi pero tambien los que vienen detras de mi . Les doy las gracias a los fanaticos de Arcade Fire por el apoyo, Mil gracias su amigo Pablo
pablo soriano Amén.
pablo soriano ánimo tocayo
Where is the translate button when I need it
Logan Wheeler one of the many things I have encounter in Hollywood , is that the latinos that have achieved fame and fortune, they forgot how hard it is to climb the ladder of success, I give god many thanks every day , I am positive,always opening doors not just for me but also the ones coming behind me. Thank you ARCADE FIRE fans for your support. Best Pablo.
yeah the music video was a real tearjerker and the acting was superb. BEAUTIFUL I SAY, BEAUTIFUL
My mom and dad were in the hospital together with Covid in November 2020. My dad recovered but we lost our mom. This is my first time watching this video. Makes me think of them. Yes, I feel sad for losing her but I feel even more sad for my dad. Imagine being married for 52 yrs then bam! They are both from Mexico and my dad dresses like the dad in this video. I see my family in this video. We all miss her.
Reminds me of my parents too
Did they put your mom on Remdesivir ?
She's with ya always
Was your mom given Remdesevere ? Not sure how to spell it...
hard times. lost my mother as well couldn't get in to see her with the restrictions. i know alot of people had it bad and even worse
This is a masterpiece - how each of the three remember the mother in their dreams. I can't watch this video without ugly-crying, it touches something so deep 😭😢😭
Always gets me.
Same here
This isn't just a video. This is art.
SmartFifa Exactly right.
this is love this is the human race .. this is the kindness of family. thank you #arcadefire
Aldito Hernandez yes this reminds me of the earlier works of (insert favorite artist)
This is life, this is love, this is what fire looks like in the human spirit. This is something that at times can I feel so much towards. I know there are many good fathers out there who love the children they were lucky to be given. LOVE.
lol shut up
Since you passed away mom, I can't stop listening to this song every single fucking day. You have no idea how much I miss you because life isn't life without you mom after all ♥
HetLevenuiteenDa Hope you're dealing with your pain the best way possible, lots of love from Chile .
Contact her. We have these abilities God made possible. Amazing Universe we live in. We are a direct contact to God and everything and everyone.. 🥰
You will see her again. One Day. :)
she is proud of you
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's been 16 since I lost my mom and I miss her so much.
I started watching this video because I always hear this song on the album but never watched the video before and I just ended crying my eyes out.
Jan Borden thank you it gets to you.
Same, exactly.
Jan Borden My brother is the older brother, not even kidding.
Haha me too! Great song though.
Same here..
Watching this video, listening to the music, for the very first time since my mother suffered her stroke and died, I was able to let myself feel the sadness of remembering her the way she was when I was a little boy. She was so incredibly beautiful and very intelligent, creative, and brave.
Thank you for sharing.
Oh... Sorry. It's always sad but beautiful remember someone who you've love with this music. We make them live in the memories that came with the music that we listen. My grandma died in August and i always remember her when i listen to some emotional song.
Sorry for my bad English, anyway.
bless you for sharing, this video is a beautiful reminder of how precious life is (the before and after)
I'm so sorry, sending you positivity and lots of love
That's beautiful that you remember your mother that way
I know what you feel , i lost my mom this year. my hart and my prayers are with you ..
I like the fact that the father is the only one not sleeping while "meeting" her because he so hardly and intentionally looks for her by crossing dark streets and removing mountains of snow. While kids meet their mom unconsciously during their sleep in the sleep as she will always take care of them
Main point, appreciate your loved ones when they're alive, not dead, life can always take an unexpected turn. I learned that last month, expected to see my granpa over the summer, as he lived in Mexico. He was so ecstatic, he left us last month. I could not comprehend he was gone, I was awaiting his text, how could he be? But it was his time. Don't waste time in imperfections of one another
well said
what if there are no loved ones, and people desinterest me?
fricreizi Change your outlook, there are. Choose happiness as a priority in life and people will interest you too.
This has been a couple years now, but I am sorry for your loss. Rest in peace to your Grandfather xo
SIMULTANEOUSLY CRYING AND DANCING IN MY SEAT
SAME SHIII Ethan Ani
Ethan Ani b
I came here to write this :D
Me too. To be honest, I never really paid attention to Arcade Fire but decided to listen to them today. A few of their song have brought tears to my eyes.
i thought it was me alone
"Hope it was just a glimpse of you like looking through a window, or a shallow sea, could you see me?" Gets me every time. I love this song
i lost my mom on february this year, and this song means all to me. ARCADE
Ygor Paes
Did the same, my mom died used this song so deep
Not afraid to admit that I cry each time I watch this video.
I don't know what I was expecting when I clicked on this video, but it wasn't this.
This was sad and beautiful, and it makes me want to wake up my mother and hold her.
Do it, my friend, hug her tight, kiss her cheek and tell her that you will love her till the end of time. When she is gone you will regret every chance you didn't do it.
Raptor3400 Amen.
I've never cried so much over a music video. This was beautifully touching.
Go watch the music video for Little Motel by Modest Mouse
I’ve been watching this all day and laughing and crying with all the emotions this song brings back. Anyway awesome power in this song.
Carlos Hernandez you cant replace what you feel with logic. It’s crazy to accept.
@@KyUHLz That's on my crying playlist :)
@@KyUHLzI watched it 😢😢
Wow, made me cry, the impact of losing and learning how to live without someone as important as your mother or the love of your life and just meeting them in your dreams, so beautiful.
It shows also that the love doesn't die after someone's death. In dreams lies all the love.
The subconscience is more powerful than we all realise.
When a Nice Mother dies the life is a bit after life. You die a bit too.
Love the video. Made me feel again when I lost my Mum when I was 28years.
:(
This song hits me every time, with the video... how do you stop the tears
me too! :'( But I can't stop watching!
You can't, just let them flow!
But after you cry...remember..
There s an afterlife..
So..Complete your mission and smile
You Will get there
I crawled into bed with me wife and just quietly sobbed.
Watch one for The Cinematic Orchestra called To Build A Home. One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, but it’ll break your heart as well. Take care
The mother is gone and the father has two kids to raise and love. He sells flowers and has a tough time economicly but he tries his best for his two kids. He tries to instill religion in them both and tries to keep thr latin culture alive in his youngest son and tries to keep the oldest out of trouble, his relationship with the oldest is tough because theyre both depressed for the mothers passing. The oldest seeks parties to cope but inside he also wants to please god and is conflicted by his two desires. At the end family love brings them together and have the mother and religion to unite them. Well thats what i got from the video after seeing it one time. Aeesome song and great video.
yes, and also police may be haunting them as they may be "ilegal". Fucking cops
Nice Hollywood ending you script there. But it's pretty clear to see they only get what they want and need, in their dreams. Life sucks.
Not not if they "work it out" like the song says.
Religion is cancer. Nobody wouldn't benefit by turning away from it. Even the *_paid_* churchmen would be far happier living in reality.
Who asked? Leave me look at it the way I want to. People go ruining allot because their arrogance has taken a form from perhaps thinking no one loves them, or they think they're the number one gift for/to mankind, just take a nap and it'll be fine and dandy.
So teary eyed... How everyone misses the comfort of their mother...
Why is it so hard for me to explain how much I enjoy this video? It almost brings me to tears, Christ.
:D
It's a pretty depressing video.
You Cute :3
Melissa Cruz The very first time i heard the song it made me dance, but now I have seen this (really really beautiful) video, and I can relate the lyrics and the images, I can do nothing but cry while I dance listening it.
camaleon9 I've got the exact same thing! First I thought "Hey, catchy beat!", but now I actually fully understand the lyrics and listen to it in a completely different way.
Beautiful message. Being Mexican myself we value and hold our parents to high respects. Our moms are the back bones of the family what keeps us together. I am grateful for what I have and thank God every day.
I liked the video and how each member of the family were handling/experiencing the loss of the wife/mother, and especially how the father contrasts with the black and white imagery. Well done!
Made me tear up when he hugged his wife. Hurts to lose someone.
This band makes so much more than music.. They make art.
Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” - Jamie Anderson
WOW! Very well expressed, thank you for that
That's deep.
thank you and yes
The reason for using a Mexican family I think is that in our culture we are not just family oriented people, we are also so mother oriented, our mom is untouchable, almost like a saint, and losing the mother is losing the backbone of a family which makes this video, or at least to me as a Mexican that has been apart from my mother for a while, a more profound and painful tragedy.
Wuicho Estrada Well, It's true that the love for a mother is universal, but I think that it's most obvious on latin families
Mothers are awesome...and this explains a lot about Mexican families, at least the picture we get from the movies
Thank You for the insight
Understood, but why do they have the father selling flowers in the street? Is that just what they think all Mexicans do? That's something people do when they've first come over and have no skills. This dad is in his 50s and while they don't live in a mansion, it's a decent little cottage in LA (not the best housekeeping, but that's probably bc the mom is dead). In real life he'd be a truck driver or something similar.
🌹♥️Mamma 💫
After watching this video, I was reminded that I should be grateful for what I have and for family because others have it much worse. Sometimes we take all these things for granted.
It made me cry.
The first UA-cam video in about two years to actually make me start crying.
Emily and Arcade Fire are absolutely wonderful together...
I have to watch this video every once in awhile because it lets me unleash my grief. I feel like this is an accurate representation of how we deal with the loss of somone we love. Those dreams and memories are all that are left to keep them real. They make them seem present, the way they comfort us with our memories of them.
It has been almost a year since I first heard this, I still listen to it.
Too much difficult to explain..
It’s not just a song, it’s a feeling actually
Where there is struggle, there is success.
I’ll dedicate this song to my late mother. It perfectly encapsulates our relationship. Things left unsaid, feelings not shared.
When love is gone, where does it go?
The afterlife is less about what happens to the dead after they're gone, but what happens to the living.
Exactly.
Beautifully said.
Happy fathers day, and thank you to all the Dads who don't reach over the table and hit there sons when they ask stupid questions. Those are real men.
you said it, Chris. a powerful moment.
Hi, I invite you to see this analysis that we did with its protagonist
ua-cam.com/video/_0B-yJnUno4/v-deo.html
Love is energy. It can never be destroyed.
❤
Afterlife, oh, my God, what an awful word
After all the breath and the dirt and the fires are burnt
And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging in the dead light
Of the afterglow
I've gotta know
Can we work it out?
We scream and shout 'till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?
'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out
'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out
Afterlife, I think I saw what happens next
It was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window
Or a shallow sea
Could you see me?
And after all this time
It's like nothing else we used to know
After all the hangers-on are done hanging in the dead light
Of the afterglow
I've gotta know
Can we work it out?
Let's scream and shout 'till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?
But you say
Oh
When love is gone
Where does it go?
And you say
Oh
When love is gone
Where does it go?
And where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
And after this
Can it last another night?
After all the bad advice
That had nothing at all to do with life
I've gotta know
Can we work it out?
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?
But you say
Oh
When love is gone
Where does it go?
And you say
Oh
When love is gone
Where does it go?
Oh
When love is gone
Where did it go?
And where do we go?
It's just an afterlife
It's just an afterlife
Pós-vida, oh, meu Deus, que palavra terrível
Após toda respiração, e sujeira, e os fogos estarem queimados.
E após todo esse tempo, e após todas as ambulâncias irem
E após todos os parasitas haverem cansado de se agarrar à luz morta
Da fosforescência
Eu tenho que saber
Será que podemos resolver isso?
Nós gritamos e berramos até resolvermos isso
Nós podemos simplesmente resolver isso?
Gritar e berrar até resolvermos isso?
Até resolvermos isso, até resolvermos isso
Até resolvermos isso, até resolvermos isso
Pós-vida, acho que vi o que acontece a seguir
Foi apenas um vislumbre seu, como olhar por uma janela
Ou um mar raso
Você conseguiu me ver?
E após todo esse tempo
Não é como nada que costumávamos conhecer
Após todos os parasitas haverem cansado de se agarrar à luz morta
Da fosforescência
Eu tenho que saber
Podemos resolver isso?
Vamos gritar e berrar até resolvermos isso
Nós podemos simplesmente resolver isso?
Gritar e berrar até resolvermos isso?
Mas você diz
Oh
Quando o amor acaba
Para onde ele vai?
E você diz
Oh
Quando o amor acaba
Para onde ele vai?
E para onde nós vamos?
Para onde nós vamos?
Para onde nós vamos?
Para onde nós vamos?
E depois disto
Ele pode durar outra noite?
Depois de todos os maus conselhos
Que não tinham nada, afinal, a ver com a vida
Eu tenho que saber
Será que podemos resolver isso?
Gritar e berrar até resolvermos isso?
Nós podemos simplesmente resolver isso?
Gritar e berrar até resolvermos isso?
Mas você diz
Oh
Quando o amor acaba
Para onde ele vai?
E você diz
Oh
Quando o amor acaba
Para onde ele vai?
Oh
Quando o amor acaba
Para onde ele foi?
E para onde nós vamos?
É apenas um pós-vida
É apenas um pós-vida

pablo soriano Cool name. The scene at the end is especially touching.
Saludos señor mis respetos
Un saludo desde España, Pablo. ¡A seguir luchando en otros proyectos!
Maravillosa su participación don Pablo Soriano,me trajo recuerdos y más que nada la actual situación de mi abuelo extrañando a su esposa.
Mucho éxito en sus proyectos.
mis respetos señor, es usted un muy buen actor.
i genuinely feel bad for anyone who doesn't realize how amazing these guys are
I feel stupid for crying alone in the dark while this is on, but I just can´t stop myself.
Is so strong this feeling of not having a hug from some love of mine
funny how you say that because i feel stupid for NOT crying to this video.
I though that was just me that always cry with this song and video but now I realize that is a general feeling and the effect. I saw the band live and omg, it was awesome....
I have to tip my hat to this Emily Kai Bock for effectively drawing an undiluted picture of a single concept. She was so adept as to make me feel for the pure tragedy of this story- I almost felt it was beautiful tragedy, but then that would have cheapened it some I think. I almost wanted some hope to be implied at the end- but that certainly would not have been very true to life, or death.
Huzzah Ms. Bock.
This is an absolutely fantastic video. It evokes a series of emotions that other music videos fail to even attempt to mention. This is why Arcade Fire is the best band of the 21st century!
Go watch, "The Waiting Makes Me Curious" by, Fear Before. If you liked this video and thought it was emotional, I think you'll like what I recommended to you.
Pure emotional art,that gets me every time.This thing hits deeper than anything I've ever heard.
[Premiere] Watch Arcade Fire's new video for "Afterlife," directed by Emily Kai Bock and produced by The Creators Project.
Most people do not like spamming on youtube, but these people certainly worthy of sharing!
*watch?v=kFDMJa_fZt0*
Adore Them!

When your name's Emily too...
+FemininEm When you realize... That's a really fucking generic name.
+MayMez True, but still...
FemininEm Sorry, I must've been on edge when I said that to you, lol.
i have my son in law to thank for introducing me to arcade fire their music is pretty awesome this coming from a 60 year old but now i cant get enough of them lol
wow! This made me think about my dad when my mother passed away. I hope they are together again in heaven. I miss and love you both.
Hi, I invite you to see this analysis that we did with its protagonist
ua-cam.com/video/_0B-yJnUno4/v-deo.html
That's some pretty powerful stuff...a very slick production, and a rare instance of a music video making a song better. The family was very easy to relate to and sympathize with. Wow.
the best song from Reflektor
the most beautiful music video on the internets. Not even a contest.
es imposible no soltar un par de lagrimas con este tema
Hola Camila, mira este análisis que hicimos con el protagonista de este videoclip ua-cam.com/video/_0B-yJnUno4/v-deo.html 🔥
Black Orfeu version was about the Afterlife when your soulmate is gone . Your partner . This Mexican Family version is about another love in our lives . Our Mother . When love is Gone . Where does it goes . And where do WE go . Again second time Arcade Fire had make me cry . Omg the emotions keep pouring still . Hope everyone enjoyed as much as I did
when love is gone, where does it go?
Love can't be gone...is always inside you.
sofiteeeniaa Love itself is always inside of you.
But what about love for a single person?
That one person.
The person whose name made your heart race.
The love you have for them isn't inside of you to begin with.
They build their love inside of you;
A slow building process where they use the trust you've given them to break away the walls that shield the world from the real you.
Piece by piece
Memory by memory
They chisel their way past your walls and plant themselves firmly at the center of your person.
That love wasn't always inside.
And there's no guarantee that it'll stay there.
Sometimes love sticks around forever,
But love often finds some way of disappearing.
Sometimes love fades.
Sometimes it explodes out of existence.
Sometimes it seems to disappear overnight.
Sometimes it stops being romantic love.
Sometimes you find that the one you love doesn't light up when they see you anymore.
Sometimes the eyes that you fell in love with shoot you a look that dismantles you from the inside out.
Sometimes it's you who doesn't look at them the same anymore.
Sometimes the very traits and idiosyncrasies that you fell in love with become the things you can't stand about them.
Sometimes the little things that made your blood boil become the things you miss the most.
Sometimes you wish they could keep you awake another night;
At least then they would be there.
Sometimes you spend days thinking about the things you would have said differently.
Sometimes you spend years.
Sometimes you have to choose:
Do you remain friends and endure the pain of platonic friendship?
Or do you sever ties and endure the pain of complete loss?
Sometimes they choose for you.
Sometimes the person you comforted through countless sleepless nights
The person you held and promised to be with forever
The person who loved you for who you were, not who you tried to be.
The person who was there for you through everything.
Through deaths
Through job loss
Through successes and failures
Through cancer.
Sometimes, someday that person might tell you that their love for you is gone.
Sometimes you wake up, and at some point that day you'll finally admit to yourself that you've both been holding onto something that neither of you want anymore.
Sometimes you find that your love is gone.
You admit it to each other.
Sometimes you admit it through talking.
Sometimes you shout things at each other in the heat of the moment that you'll spend years wishing you could take back.
Sometimes all of that happens.
Sometimes none of it does.
Sometimes that love is gone.
We know it's gone
But where did it go?
And where do we go?
To Heaven.
Love in a family after the passing of a loved one, is like a faulty wiring; it just takes a little bit of mending, but with care it will shine bright again.
Love never leaves.
I think that song is about losing someone you loved deeply but also trying "to work it out" with love ones who are alive, who are around you...so" work it out" without "scream and shout" - because then everything is even harder....that is my impression and massage I received...
I have reminisced about this video for years. Re-watching, years later, it is just at emotionally engaging at it was then. Literally, no words can describe this video. It melds art and human emotion in ways only dreams and memories can grasp.
Arcade Fire gave grief a heartfelt beat and I'm so grateful for it. 20 years later and the sting of losing my mom is always fresh but songs like this guide me through. 💙
Was vacuuming the house this afternoon and stopped because I heard a catchy tempo of this song...Made sure I Google the FM station playing it and record what it was and from whom.
I just saw the video and wow - did it make me tear up (I'm a single dad of a young boy).
Beautiful lyrics, excellent tempo and mesmerizing video and performance - cheers!
this song makes me cry, even when I don't have great loses in my family, but I always ask me what happen next?
love never goes away, it just goes to a different place!!..
its been a long time since a video doesnt make me feel like this, it breakes my heart, theres nothing more important than family for a mexican, im so proud. Thanks for the video arcade fire.
This video/song makes me cry everytime
una canción que te llega alma acompañada por un vídeo que es capaz de transmitir el vacío que deja alguien cuando se
va
realmente lo supiste interpretar!
realmente lo supiste interpretar!
Ella no terminó de escribir porque se fué
@@MathiasNPN Jajajaja
This is devastating...and beautiful.
Having 2 kids around the same age - I cannot imagine them without their mother. It just pains me to watch, but I cannot look away from this video. It hits home like nothing I've seen in some time. Amazing and I'm stunned. Thank you Arcade Fire and Emily Kai Bock for this perspective on life/loss and the reminder to say "I love you" more often to the people that matter to me most.
i love these characters. i love the minimal dialogue. the moment when the man holds her in the black and white room was so much. his face. and you felt that you wanted him to just hold on forever.
I've just lost a dear friend of mine. Last night I saw him in my dreams, back with us in the club acting like nothing happened... It reminded me of this song and clip.
Oh, it was just a glimpse of you. Like looking through a mirror, or a shallow sea. Could you see me?
Every time i listen to this song and video i cry ...my mother passed away in 2011 but i feel always the love and smile she gave us ❤
One of the beautiful things about this is that the mother was the salvation in each of their nightmares.
Brings me back when music/videos meant something.
perdí a mi padre hace poco y este video refleja mucho de lo que mi mamá,mi hermano menor y yo sentimos cada que lo recordamos, muchas gracias por esta canción y video tan hermosos! gracias Arcade Fire! saludos desde México
Fuerza, Andrés!
Gracias! Te mando un abrazo :)
Andrés Espinosa fuerza, Andrés. Y todo el amor en casa y a los tuyos.
Muchas gracias hermano
Hermoso tema
Always great to come back to watch this video!!
This song has stuck with me for years, every time I hear it I get emotional
Being Chicano I've seen my parents struggle with work and appreciate all the hard work my father has done for his family and all the love and comfort my mother has provided for her husband and my siblings and I. Power to the people who come to the states for a better life opportunity
This song has been my companion since 2013...
This song overwhelmes me with emotion
My heart hurts when I watch this. I know I'll be having similar dreams of my mother and father one day.
This video, whomever filmed it, must know what it's like to dream.
The pain and happiness that the father feels, knowing he's holding his wife, knowing its a dream when he sees the water rushing through;
The entirety of it, I've experienced it too many times, and each time is more sad than the last
you guys realy say thnx to vintagebeef ..!
nice song btw :>
What I get from the video is... When you lose someone in your life and have a dream about that person it's almost like seeing them again. So, they're always with you in your mind. Kind of like a blues song... it's sad but comforting, if you get my meaning. Great video and a nice change up from the giant heads.

what a beautiful video. I already loved the song, but this video took it to another level.
Hi, I invite you to see this analysis that we did with its protagonist
ua-cam.com/video/_0B-yJnUno4/v-deo.html
Siempre escuché esta canción y me ponía nostálgica, pero definitivamente con el video tiene un mayor significado acerca de lo que es la vida al lado de las personas que uno ama, esto es arte, transmite ese sentimiento de dolor y de sanación
Hola Jojo, mira este análisis que hicimos con el protagonista de este videoclip ua-cam.com/video/_0B-yJnUno4/v-deo.html 🔥
Estaba obsesionada con esta canción previo al día donde vos te fuiste. Quizás era una preparación, un pre aviso de lo que iba a tener que pasar. Cuando el amor se marcha, dónde se va? Me gusta pensar que te puedo mostrar este video, te hubiese gustado. Trato de luchar todos los días, hay días como hoy, donde me siento derrotada, siento que no puedo convivir con este dolor toda la vida, así la vida dure dos minutos más. Te extraño y te amo todos los días flor. Perdí la fe en todo lo "afterlife", y no creo que puedas escucharme, pero aferrarme al amor que siento por vos es lo que me mantiene viva.
This video is really beautiful, the story is quite Incredible. Its better than most feature films put out this year and this video is only like 7 minutes!?!? Emily Kai Bock did an amazing job directing this video and Arcade Fire did a fantastic job making this song, I love Arcade Fire.
This video portraits the backbone of losing a mother and how it effects every member of the family. Beautifuly done. I love this band
I love how at 6:15 the older son dreams of being in the back seat with his mother, with no (visible) driver in the front seat. Which calls to mind "In The Backseat", a song similarly about Regine's mother:
"I like the peace
In the backseat
I don't have to drive
I don't have to speak
I can watch the countryside
And I can fall asleep"
I think that arcade fire are really underated, i mean they do incredible music.

Two years ago my grandma passed away, I just hope she knows how much I love her, and how much I miss her. Ma I couldn’t be there but be sure I never stopped thinking and praying for you. Stay faithful everyone. 🧸
to me the guy is a widower who is just trying to keep is family together .
I see it as a widower trying to keep his family together, through finding love (the flowers on the side of the road). He's searching for a mother figure for his sons, who are both searching for a mother figure, or simply, another loving force. They find these loving forces, in the form of the their wife/mother in their dreams when they are brought together at home: the youngest son being held by the mother when he snuggled up next to dad and fell back asleep, and the older son dreaming he was being held my the mother while his father was awake and running his hand through his son's hair. There's more to the first dreams too, but that's too much in one comment, and I would add that it seems to me a theme you could draw from this is to love while you can, but what makes this song and video such great artwork is that each, individually and together, can be interpreted multiple ways.
Brian Urffer I interpreted the flowers as his job. In southern california its common to see people selling flowers at freeway off-ramps and whatnot.
Mammas are the best... every generation will look to their ma💗
God, I have to hold back my man tears every time I watch this video.
This totally kills my mood, but I just can't stop searching it out. It's so real.
Oh cuando el amor se ha ido
¿Dónde se va?
¿Y dónde vamos?
¿Dónde vamos?

I read somewhere that Man probably began believing in an Afterlife as a result of dreaming. The claim is Man would lose a friend or a member of his group or tribe and later on he would have dreams with that person in them. He'd awake and be convinced that he'd just saw him/her. And so he'd believe that they are living somewhere else, an afterlife.
stashray Just from experience I would have dreams of my parent's after they died that felt so real you wake up freaking out. They feel very real. Never had dreams that intense before. It seriously feels like you are with them. Eventually those dreams go away until you have that one day you dwell on them and start looking at pictures. I can't even do video's. That shit is way to much.
First time I see this and here I thought there wasn't a music video for it.. i love this song . This song got me through a lot of life. Life is long, and I long for peace. Afterlife
I shared this in 2013 when I was starting my family. Then I never thought I'd lose her. Now this makes me cry.
ONE THE BEST SONGS OF EVER
I can't remember the last time I had such an emotional reaction to a video. Kudos all around.
I love the song and the music video. They're both done well and I enjoy how the different aspects of the video interlock and come together to enhance the music it accompanies.
I'll never be able to watch this video and do not cry.
I listen to this song many times a day it's just in the background frequently, it wasn't until a few minutes ago when I was thinking about my grandmother thinking about a fish and chip shop and how I should ring her and see if she wants to hang out and get fish and chips there...
My grandmother died a few years ago and for a brief moment that had slipped form my mind, the loss of it all came flooding back all the wondering and regrets and then I just wanted to listen to this song in this exact moment..so here I am, not just paying it as I normally do in the background but properly listening to it, hearing it again like the first time I heard it with this video and not just the music.
I definitely have some rain on my face now. Beautiful video.
Arcade Fire, oh my god what a wonderful band!
this song always make me cries lol
