Lyrics
Alexander, our older brother
Set out for a great adventure
He tore our images out of his pictures
He scratched our names out of all his letters
Our mother should have just named you Laika!
Come on Alex, you can do it
Come on Alex, there's nothing to it
If you want something, don't ask for nothing
If you want nothing, don't ask for something
Our mother should have just named you Laika!
It's for your own good
It's for the neighborhood
Our older brother bit by a vampire
For a year we caught his tears in a cup
And now we're going to make him drink it
Come on Alex, don't die or dry up
Our mother should have just named you Laika!
It's for your own good
It's for the neighborhood
When daddy comes home you always start a fight
So the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights
The police disco lights
Now the neighbors can dance
Look at them dance

Laika - that was the name of the dog, the first animal launched into space, which was not destined to return to Earth. The dog died. And Alex (Alexander) is a man whose death was predicted in advance and is inevitable. This is the meaning of the song. A reference to a dog astronaut named Laika, whose death was inevitable.
sounds about right...
Just learned that sweet doggies name today and was like oh snap arcade fire I love that song.
alex is referring to Chris McCandless aka Alexander Supertramp
Laika has a statue in Star City, Russia.
Layers and layers …damn what a good song.
RIP Laika
I love this goddamn song. It feels so energizing and sad at the same time
Icy Cold Hands yo
Perfectly balanced as all things should be
yes
The first two Neighborhood's are insane
Will Ford all of them, this album doesn’t have a bad track
*three
All of the tracks are insanely good
This entire album is fucking nuts, Arcade Fire has released a ton of good shit but nothing comes close to the purely emotional epic that is Funeral
@@gerbilpmc *four
I really don't know why, but that whistle/scream at 3:05 gets me everytime. That is a really keen detail and very meaningful too.
I was thinking that is sounds like the distorted whistle that a radio makes, like what Liaka the space dog might've heard when she got sent away.
this song is extremely uplifting for people named Alex.
you bet it is
hahaha
PHIL COLLINS Yay my name is Alex!
As someone named Alexander, I’m here to remind you that you will die broken and alone. Facts.
My name is dan but yes plz call me alex lmao
I love that this song has absolutely nothing in common with Neighborhood #1 except the use of the word neighborhood. This song absolutely is Laika because nobody ever names it as one of their favorite songs until they're listening to it.
it’s been my favourite song off the album ever since i first heard it tho…
Weird how sometimes the lesser known songs are the greatest
What? It was their second single off of Funeral. Not exactly lesser known.
Bueno, en mi caso fue la primera que conoci.
@@ghostface3739 In terms of listens on Spotify at least, Laika is only number 6 out of 10 on the album. Wake Up and Rebellion both have nearly 10x as many listens as this song
Here are answers to some common questions about Last Known Good Configuration.
I saw this on David Letterman in 2003 or 4.
the vocals in the background around the 2:00 mark are everything.
This song always makes me cry like a baby.
Glad i have a cup, to catch up the tears.
If you turn vampire, you can drink them and be cured!
Come on Alex, there's nothing to it!
This song was the ringtone of my fathers cellphone when I was a child...
I feel it on another level ,so many childhood memories:)
Damn. Your dad sounds like a cool ass dude like actually. What an obscure choice for a ringtone lol.
Omg, "cellphone when I was a child". I just got old.
The mention of Alexander invokes the memory of Alexander Supertramp from Into the Wild. Some of the lyrics do relate to that story too. And my fav part was mentioned earlier and it's "Come on Alex! You can do it! Come on Alex! There's nothing to it!"
That part is kinda Forrest Gump-y. "Run, Forrest! Run!"
Both are awesome :)
Ecstatic vibrations, totally transcendent!
HARDCORE.
YEAAAAAAGHHH!
HARDCORE TO THE MEGA
as the older sibling who was outta control in my teen years in a family that didn't know how to handle me, i always think of my younger sister when i hear this song, forced to be the good kid, and feel sad for all of us. happy to say i survived tho and am mostly normal now, unlike poor alex/laika.
Very strange experience to listen to this a bunch of times without hearing most of the lyrics, and then reading them along.
Ñ
This was the first song I heard from Arcade Fire years ago and I haven't stopped following them since because they are always so amazing :)
likewise. I saw a live version of this on mtv2 back in the early 2000's and I was instantly transfixed.I think it's still my favourite song of theirs, despite various contenders
This whole album makes me want to break down and cry in the corner, its just so beautiful and wholesome. Truly an underrated masterpiece.
This song makes me cry without fail
It's energetic, but somber. More importantly, it's about callous death for the greater good. The anti individual
I can't even begin to describe the conflicting feelings this song sends me
Song about the broken bond between siblings. Unfortunately I can relate.
Screaming Tima same let’s get married
EVERYBODY can relate, 10 million its a surprise...
Nah Bro,My Man Kept On Visiting And Getting Shot Then Became God And Threw Houses
sixth grade - 2006
Came home one day to watch my daily dose of Fuse (I liked skateboarding). They had a musical guest (usually a very small band on the rise) everyday that I always looked forward to (found the thermals briefly before this as well as arctic monkeys on there). This time they were going to feature a music video.. This was the music video and it absolutely changed my life. Idk where my listening journey would've went without the guidance of this song and album. A few days later I bought the album at a borders too lol. Totally introduced me to a type of love for music I didn't know I had.. Saved the vid on a dvr and watched it way more often than I'll admit.
Arcade Fire and skateboarding have a very good relationship. Their songs are great beside skate footage
This is my favorite song ever. It means a lot to me. When I first found it, I was in a very vulnerable state. It made me feel okay for once in a long time. I love how... Raw it is (for lack of a better word.) It reminds me of the time I realized everything was going to be alright, and that's why sometimes I come back to be amazed by the best Arcade Fire song thus far. Thank you so much Arcade Fire, I truly wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for this.
This song is extremely sad and raw. Insane song and insane album.
I just happened to hear this song for the first time when I was in the car with my older brother Alexander.
[Verse 1]
Alexander, our older brother

Come on Alex, you can do it
Come on Alex, there's nothing to it
If you want something, don't ask for nothing
If you want nothing, don't ask for something

Our mother should have just named you Laika!
It's for your own good
It's for the neighborhood
[Verse 3]

Come on Alex, don't die or dry up

Best track of the album!!
"if you want somethin, don't ask for nothin!
if you want nothin, don't ask for somethin!
I like 2:07 the best, you can hear his wife screaming and singing the words with him. That's powerful to me. I don't know

One of the best lyrics I've ever heard.
RIP Laika
sounds like David Byrne of the talking heads
Arcade Fire é simplesmente apaixonante
Sobre o que é essa música?
@@MarcosVinicius-ui8bl Já descobriu ?
@@R7Sports acho que cheguei tarde, enfim ksksksks
Laika foi o primeiro animal que foi a órbita, tudo foi meio preparado pra que ela fosse mesmo sem muita esperança de volta, e assim se concretizou ela infelizmente veio a falecer, ganhou uma estátua na russia e ficou marcada na história (não me atentei tanto pois acho que é mais comum conhecer a Laika que o Alexander)
Alexander Supertramp (nome real: Christopher McCandless) foi um homem que após a graduação foi viver na "natureza selvagem" do Alaska para se desligar da modernidade e do materialismo pra viver sua vida da maneira que se sentisse bem
sem quase recurso algum, ele basicamente morava num ônibus abandonado no meio do mato, e escrevia anotações sobre o cotidiano dele (meio que um diário), foi encontrado morto em 1992 no ônibus por um grupo de caçadores
Esses são os personagens que a música apresenta
A interpretação é sempre mais você (leitor) que deve ter, a MINHA foi: A música quer retratar a vida do Alexander, tendo de fazer a comparação com a Laika
Alexander, our older brother (Alexander, nosso irmão mais velho)
Set out for a great adventure (Saiu para uma grande aventura)
He tore our images out of his pictures (Rasgou nossas imagens de suas fotos)
He scratched our names out of all his letters (Apagou nossos nomes de suas cartas)
Aqui demonstrando que estava completamente decidido no que ia fazer, apagou as coisas que poderiam fazer ele retroceder nessa ideia, e foi
Our mother shoulda just named you Laika (Nossa mãe deveria apenas ter te nomeado Laika)
Eu penso como se os familiares (especificamente os irmãos) entendessem, ou simplesmente aceitassem a "missão" que talvez se encaixe em aventura, se é que existe uma diferença tão grande nisso, do Alexander, e assim como ocorreu com Laika entendessem que infelizmente poderiam não ver o irmão.
Come on Alex, you can do it (Vamos Alex, você pode fazer isso)
Come on Alex, there's nothin' to it (Vamos Alex, não há motivos)
If you want somethin' don't ask for nothin' (Se você quer algo, não peça por nada)
If you want nothin' don't ask for somethin (Se você não quer nada, não peça por algo)
Acho interessante como a música retrata mais os familiares que o próprio vivente de tudo, os dois primeiros estrofes são os familiares meio que dando sã ponto, o primeiro, concordando e o segundo discordando, os outros dois seriam pra retratar uma indecisão dele próprio com a situação.
Bem, o resto da música é muito mais abstrata que esse início então não decidi escrever alguma outra teoria aleatória, enfim como já falei acima os dois personagens que ele apresenta são esses a cadela Laika e o Naturalista Alexander, que foram numa aventura sem saber ao certo o que aconteceria em ficaram marcados na história, agora pontos mais específicos ficam por sua conta.
Our mother should have just named you Raipa
God I love the chorus sooooo much
The Neighborhood theme really works musically even if I confess I don't always know what they are talking about.
My names Alex and when he goes "cmon alex you can do it!! Cmon alex theres nothing to it" it always feels inspiring
Cette chanson est un hymne. Tout est superbe, la mélodie, la rythmique et les voix. Il y des chansons comme ça... ❤️🎶🥂
Esta canción es de mis favoritas, me recuerda a mi papá, él tenía un futuro bastante bueno lleno de prosperidad y conseguir una buena familia, pero cuando yo estaba muy chico cayó en las drogas, alcohol y pleitos. Fue responsable de mi mala infancia y traumas al igual que con hermanos, él era una persona muy violenta en casa y en la calle, mi mamá nos abandonó por todos los problemas que había Hasta el día de hoy ella hizo su vida en otra ciudad. El pasó más de 15 años consumiendo cristal y piedra, sin importarle nada más que su vicio. Recuerdo que vivíamos en casa de mis abuelos después del abandono de mi mamá, y luego que mi papá metía muchas prostitutas y amigos con quien se drogaban en la casa junto a nosotros. Mi abuelo y mi papá se llegaron a agarrar a golpes hasta el punto que llegaba la policía, mi papá igual se peleaba con mis tíos a golpes. El día de hoy el dejó las drogas pero esas lágrimas de las que habla la canción, las está sufriendo. Perdió tantos años y está confrontando los problemas de su pasado
FREAKIN AMAZING!
That final chord, so incredibly dramatic I love it
I love this, Its always stuck in my head
their best song by far! I love these guys!
What a fantastic song! It makes you feel truly sorry for the haters.
I stayed home "sick" from school in like 8th grade and got real stoned and was watching music videos on VH-1 or Fuse or something and this came on and very much bummed me out
Stoned? In 8th grade! 13ish yrs old?! Holy mother of cow that's young
Simply amazing!!!🎸🎻🎸🎻🎼🎼🎼
Arcade Fires most violent sounding song in my opinion. I mean 1:52 that doesn't sound like it could be Arcade Fire at all
Disagree.
Modest Mouse
Clearly haven’t heard #3 then
@@leocalostros7442 exactly!
taking a break from studying calculus right now and listening to this song for motivation ...
best Arcade Fire SONG
Genius Masterpiece
Fantastic album. So creative and different to what the norm was in Indie music. It came in a better time in my life and it still sounds as good now as it did back then.
One of their best ! I love this song !
I love Arcade Fire, and I have RUclips to thank for that :D
Beautiful.
I love it.
Love love love this song.
I love Arcade Fire!!!!!! XXOXOXO Great video!
1:52 sounds like something by modest mouse
Лайка - так звали собаку, первое животное запущенной в космос, которому не суждено было вернутся на Землю. Собака погибла. А Алекс (Александр) - это человек, чья смерть заранее предсказала и неизбежна. В этом заключается смысл песни. Отсылка к собаке космонавту по имени Лайка, чья смерть была неизбежна.
Да да да, до слез.. 💋💋
2:20-2:47 Wow! Most beautiful bit of any AC song. It's so great of a song honestly.
Absolute belter
This song is so, so disturbing but at the same time so brilliant for it. Arcade Fire Roolz.
Brilliant.
masterpiece
There's just something about their music that makes me travel into an unknown yet familiar world that's full of epic adventures! And every time I listen to this album, it's different... It's weird, but I love it! @_@
Bought this album on vinyl 2 days ago :D
Ahhh this song...
Epic! I love this song so much!
i think... i love this.
Obviously this song is about an older brother who got lost in drugs. But the real story is about the hopes and dreams of a father who named his son alexander (the great) but whose mother should have named him Laika (the dog sent out to space) instead.
I love Arcade Fire!!!!!! XXOXOXO Great video! I was there at Madison Square Garden up close in the pit! Amazing!!!
How did they get their name? Do you think they were in an arcade playing skeeball when someone dropped a cigarette
my favourite arcade's song, divinal

this song is extremely uplifting for people named Alec......
The audio: 😁
The video: 💀
It's about Christopher McCandless also known as Alexander Supertramp.
Holy shit it is.
But where's the river tourists?
This song makes me feel as if I were a 14/15 years old guy called Markus who's ran away from his controlling parents and now he's being chased down by the robotic police of a ran down, decaying, corrupt society.
awesome
brilliant :), I like the new album a lot guys, The Suburbs (Continued) Sends shivers down my spine
AMAZING! :-)
bella canzone!
que buena rola
This song is so badass, and what adds to its badassness is the fact that my name used in this song!
What do you call that kind of animation style?
Creepy
This track is a pretty key part of my running playlist....love it.So much love for this.
Arcade fire as the youtube spotlight? Good call youtube! :D
When a VEVO ad comes up, I just hit the refresh button. Then there isn't one.
