Arcade Fire is a band I knew about for a while, but only got into last year. They definitely have some quality stuff, so it was my loss to not hear it sooner. This song is not only catchy, but also a reflection on the way our lives tend to fall short of our goals, and yet we can find redemption. Watch for the two-step breakdown.
"If the children don't grow up, our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up; we're just a million little gods causing rainstorms, turning every good thing to rust..."
(PS - if you're into John Legend and/or The Roots, take a gander and see if you can't find a pretty interesting cover out there...)
sick track. funeral is one of the best albums i've ever heard.
