- In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leaving
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting
In a suburban war
Your part of town against mine
I saw you standing on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
The kids want to be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screaming and running through the yard
When all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothing at all?
Meant nothing at all
It meant nothing
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young?
I want to hold her hand, and show her some beauty
Before all this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
Then send me a son
Under the overpass
In the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already past
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
'Cause it's already past
It's already, already past
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling
In my dreams we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming

I forgot about this song for so long. Hearing it again, it felt like a punch in the soul. In a good way. Pertinent lyrics for the times we're living in...
gah, when i listen to this song i don't even know how i feel. its just a perfect song, and that's all i know.
theres a time where you're listening to a song and then all of the sudden all your built up emotions flow out of you . this is one of those times , and can i say i feel great.
cool story bro
Fucking right
I don't know why, but I always get a heavy feeling of nostalgia when I listen to this
I remember playing on repeat when released, before I had my first kid, always sent chills down my spine. 3 kids and many years later, this songs is sadly so prophetic.
I feel the same about the prophetic idea. Makes me scared to have kids. But they may be the strongest and most purposed of us all.
No wonder David Bowie was so fond of this band. What is good for David must be good for everyone else.
Sad song: odd lyrics, melancholy melody yet, an amazing song. Urban War...already past.
The song is about growing up
i'm never disappointed when it comes to Arcade Fire
Beautiful song. Miserable, but beautiful. It just makes me think of the impossibility of experiencing the receptive attitude of a child again, where you kind of just went with your emotions and trusted them, didn’t pile abstractions on top of everything. Even if you could go back, you would see it all through the eyes of a jaded adult. I think about how I see people now. There are so many layers of observation overtop of their behaviour. I don’t really believe in altruism and righteousness anymore. People do bad things to get their kicks, other people do “good” things to get their kicks, or to avoid their own feelings of shame. It’s always about managing one’s own emotions. And there is no clear reason why one thing is evil and another good beyond the manifold opinions of individuals. Back when I was a child, I could truly hate someone fully, and believe I was righteous. I believed in good guys. May seem like a morbid thing to miss, but I really miss it. Life seemed to be imbued with meaning. Not just like a hollow chamber of cause and effect. I can never have that again. As I get older, I do feel less confusion and strong despair as when I was a teenager and in my early twenties, but my positive feelings are flattened out as well. I used to dream of the drama of war, in the most literal way, and how I could be heroic, but now I’m bored.
i dont wanna grow up.
so true.. I have turned 20 y o like 5 days ago, and i was listening to this song all night long and crying so hard just because i don't wanna grow up either
@@Alexlz99 I feel this, I am now 21...the last "socially exciting recognized year." When you are 16 you get your first car/start driving. When you are 18 you go to college and move out, when you're 21 you can drink...there is nothing muCh special after that last age that marks it socially/traditionally really. Especially as a woman...this just means I'm now closer to hitting the wall..I have to work so hard to make sure that doesn't happen a type of way..it will happen however it will though. I am young I know but...my life is moving a lot faster now, I don't want to be like all the other people around me conforming and killing their souls...fake friends...flashing my wealth around just to have bottom feeders mooch off me..but that's all people really stay around for anyway, it's about what they can take from you. I guess I could type more but blah blah....😒
Then don't. Be forever young in your mind, in your heart. Just be sure you fly, but focused on those people on the ground. If you become an inspirative leader, you will create inspirative followers.
@@Kristina2360That’s great, neoliberal, but reality is real. The junkies on the street are real. The ESG scores are real. The death of America is real. The narratives lying to us having ramifications. The division is real. Being torn from God is real.
Imagine a country so upset by a televised image we ignore the absolute pain of our fellow citizen. We are in hell.
This is music that makes you feel
Listened once 2010 on MTV and been searching till today
this gives me late summer night with fireflies and friends then going inside to watch boy meets world vibes. i dont wanna grow up.
Its always makes me cry...I don't know why
This song makes me sad
You´re not the only one. Although, it´s such an amazing song.
me too
You might be mistaking nostalgia for sadness.
this song made me think a lot about my life then and now , Made me tear up , Good song , Awesome song .
I spent my childhood trying to "grow up to fast" at 17 with a horrible addiction to vicodin, I had three months before I turned 18, and my parents had me sent away to a rehab program. At the time I was so angry and hated my parents for sending me away. Now as an adult at 30, I'm glad my parents took the action they did, idk if I'd ne here today, if they didn't intervene and take control.
sometimes a great song gets written. this is one of those times
This song makes me stop everything that I'm doing or thinking and just like fills my mind.
NiaDeVeux same. I forgot I had homework because of this song lol
What is this I'm feeling? Such a beautiful song.
Anna P you got snapchat?
@@bigballerbrand915 lol
nostalgia just pains you when you never had the chance to be a kid, the overwhelming adult drama that traumas some of us is so suffocating. I’d give it all to actually be a kid for a day.
This song doesn't make me feel sad and doesn't make me feel happy though... Maybe kind of both. Just love it
I've been searching for this song for over a year after hearing it in KFC one day. Out of no where the chorus came to my head.
MultiGreat1 I love it when songs do that
It’s so catchy I’ve been humming it for days
Congrats
I was in a swanky pub with my girlfriend, tucking into a tasting menu accompanied by the suggested wine menu. Towards the end of our experience I was rather leathered, this song subtlety began to play. So being intoxicated I was all over it, shazammed it and played it everyday on the way to work for 3 months. Its a true masterpiece and brings back some lovely memories.
@@chrisellison9046 I heard it in similar circumstances, probably not as drunk though! 😀😂
I love this song so much.
so do I it covers everything from growing up to infertility . you are one of the few that got it write Darling xo good luck with whatever you have got going xo
+Yasmine Young sorry i ment inferdelaty i am sorry i am pretty sure that you know what I mean . i am dyslexic
Song made me cry, and realize I can be a better person
My favourite Arcade Fire album is the suburbs . Great band❤️👍
Are these guys the best musical artists of this generation?
No, but this is definitely one of the best songs of the 2010s
Definitely one of the best I’d argue, they’ve made a definitive mark for sure! I’d say Radiohead are the best band kicking right now.
radiohead exists
This song I'd absolutely amazing, it has so much meaning, and so much feeling.
This song gives me old sitcom vibes. Boy Meets World, Leave it To Beaver, the Cosby Show, Full House, Friends, I Love Lucy, all that nostalgia.
Somethimes I can´t..... believe it, this song has so...much feeling :)
Such a beautiful song🙁😍❤️😞! reminds me of many things
me too..... 😢
Great song that moves me into the feeling.
So can you understand
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young?
I want to hold her hand, and show her some beauty
Before all this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
Then send me a son
Camelia Juarez the best part of the song.
They sent me a daughter, I know what to do now.
Covid-19 is the damage. 😞
Adriano Cézar I think not
Thats where I always start crying so bad
Wow!!! Heard this for the first time yesterday, love it!!
That song reminds me I had,once, had a daughter!
Plucks right at my heart strings. Makes me feel remorseful I don't know why.
It’s just a little song 🎶 that lets you roll.
Part of it is a comparison of naivete and awareness. Its very wierd though, coming back to the memory of "we're still screaming". Its eerie. It could be the thought of kids screaming when they play. But the song is suggesting the future where theyre grabbing his mothers keys, he learns how to drive in the suburbs. The bombs dropped when they were bored with what life had amounted to. Used to the idea of violence or the possibility of it. He wants a daughter before it all goes to shit
IT TOOK ME ALL DAY TO FIND THIS IM ECSTATIC
This is so good.
In the suburbs I learned people are very easy :3
I love this song
fav song
this song reminds me about all my faults
very good... group, song and work... saludos desde mazatlan.
This song reminds me of something that I never lived
i dont know why but when i listen this i feel so sad, it brings a stranger vibes .... idk
And I thought this song was a breakup song....... I was incredibly wrong.
I find the haunting guitar in the background around 1:30 onward so addictive. What's this song about? I know Win said it's about growing up in the suburbs of Houston, TX. Is there more to it or should I just stop and continue to enjoy this gem?
I thought it might be talking about the Berlin Wall but that didn't fall until 89 and this says 70's so I guess it can't be that.
I grew up and now live in the suburbs of houston tx, high school football teams here are fiercely competitive especially in Katy which is a district that has seen numerous athletes make it to the pros.

I grew up in the suburbs but in Australia and this song perfectly applies to my youth as well. I think it’s meant to be exactly as it sounds.
Who knew this song would be so prophetic?
Probably my favorite song of all time.
The lead guitar work is fucking amazing. The bass and drums are very Sgt Pepper era Paul Mc Cartney and Ringo. The string arrangements are on point, the lyrics and melody hit the hardest though.
So fucking tragic.
this song makes me so sad, idk. it just makes me feel things lol but it’s amazing nonetheless
Classic :)
This song is profound.
So deep...
This in 2021 :,)))
me encanta me encanta me encantaaaa!!!!

Sabes en qué está inspirada la letra?
Al escucharla, me parte el alma
i can't believe how much i relate to this song. you know lower middle class bored to my ass tears, especiallleee the summer
❤️❤️❤️
Song brings back memories ... Only cause a special someone showed me this song so when I listen to it it reminds me of him sadly ... He's a dick now.
I feel like i'm gonna be 8 years old again because i was 8 when this song came out
This song>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
this song bro
I just gotta say not remotely a fan of arcade fire but this song is astoundingly beautiful
but a lot of their work is comparable in quality. Nearly every album has at least one amazing single like this.
@@creativecredence850 I'll have to check more of their stuff out
@@nd96_ power out and in the backseat are two of their best songs
this is not only about was but also a really bad hurricane
La canción está inspirada en...?
👏👏👏👏👏👏

IM THE NEWEST COMMENT YALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Remember when Cartman sang Judy Garland🤪
war is boring? umm,.. like WHAT THE HELLLLLL? melodically melancholic, i am an alcoholic. OF suburban origin, of coarse a horse is a horse
Ja.
i used to date this person, and i would skate... we agreed that they would let me borrow their guitar if i let them borrow my board. little did i know they let their uncle sell my wheels and bearings off the board... i let it go because they were all i had... 2 years later they broke up with me (two days ago) and they asked for their guitar back. i already have the board and trucks but they still owe me the wheels, after all their mom promised me them.
the kicker is their mom is in the hospital... am i the asshole for not giving them the guitar back until they give me the wheels and bearings they owe me?
this song is good but is sad and depressing
the vevo music vedio in sad and uncomfortable to me(i meant the children in the vidieo)
Its not even vevo
Please somebody tell what this song is about? I don't get it!!

This is BLUR
The suburbs suck not the song but you know what i mean
sort of makes you want to eat a gun...NOT...mopey dopey emo crap...singing out of a bullhorn(?)
You poor children. This is the fodder your fed. Shallow, Muddled, shit. The lyric is terrible. It's no wonder the young people still take such an interest in the music & rockers of the past. If this is suppose to be some of the best of the new crop of, "Rock Stars". I feel really bad for this current generation.
You're*
ScandalousUser Missing all the skinon my face?
you just don't get it. ils chantent en yaourt, en yaourt poetique.
dang you have to much hate inside you
Ok, I was in a mood. I had been reading so much hype on this band. I really expected quite a bit more from them. Since I listened a couple more times...it not "that bad". The music is OK. (at best) the lyric is still pretty stupid. Lets see where this shit is in ten years? These mother fuckers will be a minor footnote when it comes to music now. Music itself has been reduced to a bullshit product, marketed by big money fucks that are NOT artists, but money grubbing pig bitches....Hey that's the pretty things I can say about it.....You keep buying and eating this crap, because the media like to shove it down your throat and up your ass. hey, PS, fuck you!
If I'm not dead, I'll be 100 years old next year. Been into music over 90 of them years. I've seen and heard a lot of shit during my life. My tag= roballen2....find out little about me before you start typing mental diarrhea. Never the less, I liked your comment, and I dig the feedback. Thanks. roballen2
