Was, and is. And I hope -after they followed it with Reflektor (which could have been, had they focused it more and put the best of it onto one, and not two albums) & Everything Now, which had 2 or 3 really good songs but otherwise missed the mark by a mile- that their 6th album, due out hopefully this year sometime (2021) will be astonishing too; they definitely have it in them to be, and I'm really looking forward to it.
This song always pops into my head when something transitional has happened in my life. Like when I've just come to some conclusion about some long past issue thats been demonising me internally for years, or I've just turned a corner in life, gotten through something, achieved something, arrived somewhere new...that sort of thing.... My mind, is open wide now im ready to start...fucking yeah!
damn i just chanced upon arcade fire after years and rediscovering their work for the first time, and this exactly how i feel, you described it real well, some transition of deep past issue, trying to get through and toward something new.
Today is my 35th birthday. I'm down 120 pounds and in a completely new space for the first time in my life. There is so much out there left to be revealed to me. I'm amazed. Never stop being amazed. This was a great first song to listen to on this special day. I'm about to go out for a run and kick some ass out of this day! :)
I turn 35 next month, this song came into my life fairly recently, and this has so far been a year for reaching completely new spaces on my life. I guess your comment kinda resonates with me a lot because of all that :)
@@tinajaneoxnam.8866 I agree with you up to a point, 'cause we've got to remember they're an extraordinary british band, and all seems to sound good with british accent . LOL, IMO
Always cycling instruments. Every 11+ member singing and playing their heart out. Every damn song either beautifully nostalgic and dark or hard and head-bangy. They are the best live band. And their albums are amazing too. Just the best.
This was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. I love that the band members trade off the instruments they play. Such a talented group of people. Still have a great sound. One of my favorite bands.
I saw Arcade Fire a few years ago at Coachella - The music has always enchanted me, but I really appreciated their attitude - anti-VIP section message. I also loved how they played all of the way to the end of the noise ordinance time......and them kept on playing as the power was shut off!!!!! They just kept playing (with passion) walking through the crowd! I Loved it!!!!!
There's been so many brilliant bands in my lifetime since I was born in 1968. And so many before. But lloyd Cole and the commotions rattle snakes was the first. Then I have to say oasis. Then for a long time nothing grabbed me and punched me in the face till arcade fire. Made me feel young again this band has everything and more. Love them to death xx
Heh Paul, We're similar ages and got to say the musical ear gets better with age🤟 Lovin live music so much and AF is up there with the best, Life's great🤟🤟🤟🤟
Man, I will always love the intro of this song in this video, I don’t know, captures a kind of nostalgic feeling to make a leap of faith full of courage, it’s, beautiful, inspiring.
Incredible, relevant band! One of the if not thé most important band of the 21st century! Saw them several times live and mindblowing performances each time ❤️❤️❤️
It's crazy to see the contrast from a concert in the early 2010s to one in the late 2010s. In that wide shot at 0:13, I see two people with smartphones out (or maybe they were digital cameras). By the late 2010s, that place would've been swarmed with glowing smartphone screens. In fact, even by mid 2010s you would've seen that change. It's nice to see people there just enjoying the moment.
when you love a music so much that your whole body and soul painfully ache to become one with the music... but the song goes by second by second and ends and you felt like you were about to touch eternity but just missed it... so you start the song again and it touches you so deeply you want to scream! and for the time it is playing everything is good and meaningful.
Your explanation is the best definition of what happends to me in my "relationship" with music....I´m really amazed with your words. Thanks perfect stranger!
When they opened the NOSalive show with this... It was simply amazing. I always loved arcade fire, but after attending to their concert... I have no words to describe How I felt. their concerts are simply magical.
Yeah, that is what I heard. I unfortunately was unnable to attend to their concert. The tickets for the day they played were already sold out by the time i purchased mine. :-(
Didn't realise this song was so old. I seem to have heard it a lot in the last year but not before. Perhaps it's my long C memory. I get to re hear and re love old music, all over again. Swings and roundabouts.
As someone with mental health issues, the line: 'I would rather be alone, than pretend I feel alright' Spoke hard to me when I first heard this as a teen, it was a relief to have this song to listen to and be my friend.
Man I was scrolling through my instagram archive and found a picture of me and my ex-girlfriend very happy together at a museum. Getting over her has been so hard, thank you arcade fire for helping me move on :) it’s been such a slow process but I got this!
Remember when The Suburbs won the Grammy for Album of The Year over Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Lady Antebellum and everyone flipped the freak out? Good times. Chalk one up for the good guys.
+Ryan Garcia I remember this and was so happy. None of my friends new who they were and i was like, well, these guys are brilliant! Too bad you haven't caught up with the times! ahahaha
There's a lot of firepower on that stage. Seems there's several people playing or capable of playing several different instruments. (Several durmmers, violin, etc.) Impressive!! If you can sit still watching this, I'd check for a pulse.
I like this version better solely because of the way the tone *immediately* shifts at "if I was yours | but I'm not." One of the best moments in musical history for me, and I don't even know why. This isn't even my favorite Arcade Fire song.
Eu adoro essa música. Ela é sonoramente muito bonita de se ouvir, casa instrumento se encaixa perfeitamente trazendo um som único e diferente da maioria das bandas de rock. Magistral.
I'm mostly a psychedelic and space rock guy, but this tune popped up in my Pandora channel a few years ago and I'm so glad it did. Such a great tune and deep lyrics, I get chills every time. ✌🏻
I’ve known about this band for a while but I never paid attention to their songs until now. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this great music. They’re absolutely amazing.
I saw these guys live once and I wish I'd gotten more into their music in advance. Support act were Pixies, and everyone in my gang was much more familiar with them. Even Arcade Fire seemed a bit embarrassed to be the headliner, they were literally telling the audience "if there hadn't been a Pixies, there wouldn't be an Arcade Fire".
I was a dedicated radio head fan for years and still am but they have me, this is a good band. I love everything about this band and I been around the block a few times.
Man.....can anyone please point me to any songs from ANY artist similar at all to the vibe of this one. I think I've been listening to this song at least once a day for the last four years.
Maybe Crippled Black Phoenix? A little bit more "post-rock" but lots of members and their songs are complex... check out "Time of Yer Life / Born for Nothing / Paranoid Arm of Narcoleptic Empire" ruclips.net/video/B8nH6H2qa14/видео.html Slow to start, but it really builds...
Happy 10 year anniversary to this masterpiece of an album.
Not yet
Total nostalgia coming back to this song! I wish I could go back 10 yrs ❤

How are you doing at 42 now?
Always bottling up my feelings. This band is one of if not the only one that makes me feel all kinds of things. For this, I thank them.
I saw them live yesterday in Lollapalooza. An amazing experience. Such a beautiful show❤
Si fue en el Lollapalooza Chile, fue tremendo. El mejor del lolla por LEJÍSIMOS.
Love this version - faster, louder, punkier, awesomer.
Mr. B . Have you heard it from tears for fears ? Cos i must admit they did a crap cover version of it.
There's another version?
@@deepalijoshi4631 The original album version is a bit slower.

You’re so right. Try James live next, they’re a revelation
Try The Strokes next.
Heh Paul,
We're similar ages and got to say the musical ear gets better with age🤟
Lovin live music so much and AF is up there with the best,
Life's great🤟🤟🤟🤟
Well said.
I would rather be alone than pretend that i'm alright.
That speaks to me.
yepoers
Fuck yeah man
Never tire of this...4.16 minutes of euphoric rock....absolutely brilliant, luv it!
Yea! :')
listening to it a few months before moving to another city where I'll finally LIVE and BE MYSELF. I'm ready to start and I'm starting it.
Your day will come Dave, give it time
Hope things work out for you!
David Jung good luck 👍
envy you right now. so much.
David Jung . Really crap by tears for fears.
Brilliant song, lyrically and the energy
BEST Album of the last 10 years. It has such a futurist vibe, maybe that's why it will never gets old.
I need to experience this in person once in my life.
I have seen them twice in concert and both times it was an unforgettable experience. Hope you got to see them too
You won’t regret it... wonderful concert! One of the best I’ve been in! :)
Everytime I watch this it makes me want to be there so bad
I have to believe it’s 20x better live
Best concert of my life.
Arcade fire é aquele tipo de banda que de tão boa, parece q não existe, q é fruto da sua imaginação kkkkk doida demais!!!
tatiana oliveira muito boa mesmo
Bem isso kkk
Vamos casa.
tatiana oliveira, isso é pura verdade!!kkkk
verdade hahaah
Instant nostalgic feels listening to this song. Takes me back to the simpler days
Arcade Fire are so underrated
The man at 0:40 is my reaction every time I listen to Arcade Fire, pure joy 😂🤩
Saudades quando a MTV sempre tocava essa musica, foi a primeira que ouvi do Arcade Fire 😊

Mine too
wish yall knew how much your music helped me thru some bad times as a kid
Went to see them in Dublin last night wit my 28 year son OMG,have seen alot of bands in my day they are up there the best.
I know this song inside and out already and I still have to listen to it entirely because it is just THAT good.
I like you.
i love this band so much that hurts
🖤
This song gives me chills. Such a powerful band.
Didn't realise this song was so old. I seem to have heard it a lot in the last year but not before. Perhaps it's my long C memory. I get to re hear and re love old music, all over again. Swings and roundabouts.
something on this song makes me feel free
It all started when i first listened to this song. Then i listened to all the other songs and i was in love with this band.
quando eu escuto arcade fire, parece que eu entro em outra dimensão. eu me empolgo pra caralho cantando. a letra definitivamente me toca!
Comigo acontece a mesma coisa!
Essa música tem uma força absurda!
The tension in this song makes me levitate, and the video really helps. What a jewel.
I miss this.

Hell yeah! My whole dam li*e!
God. When music was awesome. Glad. Came for it.

LONG LIVE ARCADE FIRE. THE GREATEST BAND OF OUR GENERATION!
This bands lyrics and concept are brilliant. If they carried on with this same temperament imagine the poetry
Remember when The Suburbs won the Grammy for Album of The Year over Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Lady Antebellum and everyone flipped the freak out? Good times. Chalk one up for the good guys.
+Ryan Garcia I remember this and was so happy. None of my friends new who they were and i was like, well, these guys are brilliant! Too bad you haven't caught up with the times! ahahaha
+Ryan Garcia I swear when it happened I screamed my lungs out! I was so excited they really deserved it over them all! The Suburbs is a masterpiece.
+Ryan Garcia One of those is not like the others.......
i like them all tho
One of the only times the good guys won
There's a lot of firepower on that stage. Seems there's several people playing or capable of playing several different instruments. (Several durmmers, violin, etc.) Impressive!!
If you can sit still watching this, I'd check for a pulse.
I love it how they make great music and their lyrics always have so many meanings, it's a shame that it is so rare today...
The pilot on my southwest flight played this for 30 or so navy men & woman going to flee week. Gives me fu#kng chills
This song always makes me feel so good
Pareil
This track has so much energy! I love it!
Has anyone seen them live? I really love Arcade Fire, and I think they would be phenomenal Live. Patiently waiting for them to come to Australia.
***** I will get tickets the second they announce they're coming here :)
+Sophie O'Donnell I saw them in 2005 and again in 2013.
I did and it was fucking magical
I did and it was fucking magical
+Sophie O'Donnell I saw them at Glastonbury in 2014 and it was MAGICAL but my feet hurt so much the whole time hahaha I wanna see them again so badly
This song is the snap,crackle,pop of songs!!!
Can't believe it's been 4 years since I last listened to this song, man this brings back some memories.
4 years?! have you been living under Patrick's rock? :P
I forgot about this song lol xD

I'm going to see them live this year in Zagreb... Not their biggest fan, but they do have some songs that are masterpieces, like this one.
I LOVE this song!!!!!! I think I've watched this video 1000 times.
This concert sure looks like so much
Fun⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm mostly a psychedelic and space rock guy, but this tune popped up in my Pandora channel a few years ago and I'm so glad it did. Such a great tune and deep lyrics, I get chills every time. ✌🏻
Recuerdo que esta canción sonaba siempre en la MTV. Me sigue encantando
Yo no recuerdo esos buenos tiempos en MTV. Debieron ser maravillosos. :(
Usually I am into metal, but I really can't deny the artistry of these guys, they are pretty awesome!
I’ve known about this band for a while but I never paid attention to their songs until now. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this great music. They’re absolutely amazing.

Best, and best, best feel. Tks so much. Stay safe.
When it's just f****n ace to be young ! ..... I'm 60 and still rockin this out.
I wanna be 60 one day still rockin this out! You go on!🎉❤
Me encanta!!!...no puedo parar de escucharla 💋
Class. Class song, even better album.
2 Veces los vi en el Lollapalooza Argentina, es un placer total ARCADE. Los AMO
2 drummers & 2 keyboardists in 1 band. what an unique formation
the start gives me joy division vibes
the whole song actually.
And video too
I came down to the comments to make this connection. Im glad other people see it too
I think it's fair to say everyone is ripping off someone else, go look at PJ Harvey she blatantly copied Kleenex/Lilliput.
Qué obras de arte las que hace Arcade Fire!
¡Son unas joyas!
joyonez diria yo
This is the type of song you can obsess over when in emotional turmoil and think that the lyrics are all about you and your pit of despair.
Such a perfect song! The next best thing would be to begin again, so we could listen to LP 6 - deeply felt.
Chile is ready to start!! 🔥
This still feels quite raw, hard for a song to feel so raw each time you hear it, A CLASSIC - FACT.
I went to a show last week at forecastle in Louisville I was in a wrong place and I touched the hands of all the band was so nice !!!!!
how i love this song, thanks for everything, for the big moments in my life and everything
This song just reaches the depths of my SOUL. I love it.
Damn, c'est de la bonne musique !
I love the sense of urgency in this song. The relentless beat.
