    for all those wondering, the "put in your bids now, hope they're cheap" was a reference to how the venue, Earls Court, was sadly set to be demolished in place of "Expensive condos" and was the entire reason Arcade Fire wanted to perform there one last time.

    i cry every time i hear it. sometimes i think i won't, but then i get to "if i could have it back, you know i'd love to waste it again" and the tears come.
    i remember when i first found this on youtube, not long after it came out, with the music video, one night in my angsty teenage room, and i knew right away that i'd remember this song. That'i'd carry it with me and keep it close to my heart. I listened to it on repeat for a few days, my little heart was in rags by the end of it.
    I grew up in the suburbs in denmark, so the scenery of the american suburbs seemed somewhat foreign, but i felt like i still understood. now, that i've seen the american suburbs myself, and i've moved abroad to a small city that isn't connected to the rest of the world by roads, the suburbs all look more the same to me. i look back on them, and on most days i feel blessed that so much of the mass-depression of the rest of the modern world doesn't seem to apply here. but i have tender days. and i dont think there's any point in being strong and keeping a straight face when my heart feels heavy. so when it does i'll give in, and i'll listen to the music that hurts, and i'll cry my little heart out for a little while. this one evokes painful nostalgia. it feels great to be able to count on something to feel so perfectly eloquent every single time.

Best band of the last 15 years. One of the few universally appealing rock bands left that aren't in their 70's, and still in their prime.

    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
    The kids want to be so hard
    But in my dreams, we're still screaming
    And running through the yard
    And all of the walls that they built in the 70s finally fall
    And all of the houses they built in the 70s 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
    That I want a daughter while I'm still young?
    I want to hold her hand
    And show her some beauty before this damage is done
    But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
    Then send me a perfect son
    Under the overpass
    In the parking lot, we're still waiting, it's already passed
    So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
    'Cause it's already passed
    It's already, already passed
    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
    If I could have it back
    All the time that we wasted
    I'd only waste it again
    If I could have it back
    You know I would love to waste it again
    Waste it again and again and again
    And all my friends, they were singing
    Sometimes I can't believe it
    I'm moving past the feeling again
    Sometimes I can't believe it
    I'm moving past the feeling again
    Sometimes I can't believe it
    I'm moving past the feeling again
    Sometimes I can't

The most important part of this song is the part where he sings about having a child and how important it is to show them love, because in this life, there is very little or none at all, love from a parent as a child is so important.

    Arcade Fire - grossly underrated and underappreciated. But to the enlightened ones who know, they are one of the last bastions of great song writing and orchestration. Best Canadian band ever....

    • @marsbar2020

      Naw, I like the studio version better. I bet AFs shows are great when you are in the crowd but if we go solely on the music I prefer the cleaner more powerful vocals of the studio version. I think it's the other way around btw. Most people won't admit when they like a studio version better than a live version, because it makes them seem less "legit" fans if they do. Any way, just my two cents.....

    In the suburbs I
    I learned to drive
    And you told me we'd never survive
    Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'
    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 movin' past the feeling
    Sometimes I can't believe it
    I'm movin' past the feeling again
    Kids wanna be so hard
    But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard
    And 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 nothin' at all
    Meant nothin' at all
    It meant nothin
    Sometimes I can't believe it
    I'm movin' past the feeling
    Sometimes I can't believe it
    I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night
    So can you understand?
    Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
    I wanna hold her hand
    And show her some beauty
    Before all this damage is done
    But if it's too much to ask, 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 movin' past the feeling
    Sometimes I can't believe it
    I'm movin' past the feeling again
    I'm movin' past the feeling
    I'm movin' past the feeling
    In my dreams we're still screamin'
    We're still screamin'
    We're still screamin'

    This song makes me think that my calm life, one that many would love to be having, is not exactly what I would want, all the boring routine... All the wasted time I try to convince myself it's just quality time I should be grateful for... And yet, still I'm so afraid of bringing my ideas to reality and getting into the unknown... This is how deep this song makes me feel.
