Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
Track from their third album “The Suburbs” (August 2010) (MERGE RECORDS) LYRICS: 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 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 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 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 movin’ past the feeling Sometimes I can’t believe it I’m movin’ past the feeling again I’m movin’ past the …

This is one of the few and rare (new music )bands that have “it” and the songwriting is strong. It’s up there with Supertramp, and other unique bands from the past. Hats off to this kind of cool and interesting stuff.
@elisechristen took the words out my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arcade fire is the shiz…. check out mr. little jeans’ cover for this its pretty awesome in my opinion
@ymechaie I know, I agree and I apologize if I offended you. However, they are talented regardless of what they are and at the end of the day. I wasn’t intending to argue about what Arcade Fire is or isn’t. My argument is that MuchMusic would rather ignore talented Canadian indie bands and play Stereos, These kids Wear Crowns, etc. You get the idea.

underground? really? a few things, you are the type of fan that absolutely killed arcade fire, they are a fully mainstream band. the mainstream of the mainstream. this whole faux hipster thing is something that plebs love to think of themselves when millions of people have known about them forever. go back to 2004, then you can call them an underground band
@asmartfellow certainly NOT you.
the ending scares me but love the song
i love this song…its carries me away and wen it ends i crave for more
talk about music is like try to draw music
MARS VOLTA IS BETTER!!!!!
reminds me of summer

This song is great its my first tine hearing it. Definite win.
I love this band, and this is probably my fav by them
@elcow10 This is the thing I hate about music. No one can agree on the same sound, for it is interpreted different ways.
what the fuck is a hipster
@MELONHEAD13B You cant be serious… Hot Fuss is as good as Ok Computer? Not even close
love this band

*Epic arcadefirehighfive*
@qouci they used to be underground so that when he first started listening to them probably
Who gives a shit about mainstream or not? Good music is good music.
This song made my night <3
@LG93X HAHA that usually happens with hipster music. They listen to good music, not because they like, because they were told to like it!
@battleboy777 To be fair, I’m a 17 year old girl and I hate Greenday and love Arcade Fire, so I wouldn’t imply that people of my age group aren’t as discerning when it comes to music as your so called ‘mature 20 year olds.’
I came here to rip on hipster fags but ended up liking the music…
@Deviantcookie me too Oo the second million :s
