Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Arcade Fire
Review The Song (17)Print the Lyrics
And if the snow buries my,
my neighbourhood.
And if my parents are crying
then I'll dig a tunnel
from my window to yours,
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours.
You climb out the chimney
and meet me in the middle,
the middle of the town.
And since there's no one else around,
we let our hair grow long
and forget all we used to know,
then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow.

You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head,
as the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn.

Then we tried to name our babies,
but we forgot all the names that,
the names we used to know.
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,
and our parent's bedrooms,
and the bedrooms of our friends.
Then we think of our parents,
well what the hell ever happened to them?!

You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head to gold,
as the day grows dim,
I hear you sing a golden hymn,
the song I've been trying to sing.

Purify the colours, purify my mind.
Purify the colours, purify my mind,
and spread the ashes of the colours
Over this heart of mine!

Review about Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)

Sick | Reviewer: Brynner | 7/8/09

I love the piano in this song, as well as most else about it. Most of the lyrics are just too random for my liking (we remember our bedrooms etc), but then some of the lyrics I just love (...sleeping in my head). I was listening to it at my bus stop and it sounded so good that it almost made me sick (I mean I had such a good reaction to the piano that I felt like being sick), hence my review's title.



Different | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/16/09

At first when I heard this song, I was completely blown away by the musical intro, until I got to the lyrics. I couldn't stand it for too long, and turned it off. The next day I had the song stuck in my head, and listened to it again, and the song was just completely beautiful from start to finish. I'm not sure what it was, but I think the Arcade Fire is definitely an acquired taste of sorts.



superb! | Reviewer: charlie | 11/14/07

This is a terrific song. This and rebellion (lies) are my two favorite Arcade Fire songs. This is a must see band.



Awesonme | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/4/07

When I first heard this song driving somewhere with my brother, the conversation ended and I had to listen. This song renewed my interest in popular music. I had to listen to it over and over.



Just a couple of small details | Reviewer: Lon | 10/15/07

I totally agree with you all about the magnificence of this song!!
However, there's a couple of details on the lyrics that don't match with the lyrics printed on the leaflet of "funeral".
-End of second verse is "well waht ever happened to them?!". no "hell" on it.
-End of the song is "spread the ashes of the colors over this heart of mine", not "in".

Just so it's perfectly transcribed, hope nobody minds.



Timeless... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/8/07

I agree with other posters here, this song hits you. It's now Monday and I saw them play it live this past Saturday night in NYC - add Arcade Fire to the list of live bands to see before you die! (along with U2, Pogues, Oasis etc)



One of the best bands best songs | Reviewer: Matt | 9/22/07

I am literally in love with this song...heard them first off in 2006, first song i heard and it blew me away...listened to the entire cd on my way home from oxegen and was instantly in love... neon bible and the Arcade fire EP also incredible, theyre so unique yet in such an amazing way, and they do not disappoint live. Saw them at oxegen this year (Front row, very proud!) and im seeing them in dublin in october, and i cannot wait. It just fills you with so many emotions, and the crescendo through the song is amazing, and renees voice at the end is awesome. My friends describe them as "church music" but they are the best band in the world!



still listening. | Reviewer: Dreamer | 9/16/07

This song is for me and for many the first I/they heard from arcade fire. It blew me away, i sat lost in the music and then i played it again, and again. Its nearly two years later, and I'm still listening. The only other bands that I can say that about is blink-182 and counting crows. plz... no hate about my musical taste. Just be cool, accept music is as varied as the people listening.



Tunnels | Reviewer: spencer | 7/17/07

I think i have listened to this song a millions times, it goes on every compilation i ever make. It really does do something to you from start to finish everything workd to perfection. Thank god that this band exist, they just cannot be defined or pigeon-holed and i am so gled others feel the same way.



Amazing | Reviewer: Slen | 5/14/07

I saw them in concert, and there are no words that can come close to the experience. Best night of my life.
