The last year has been an eventful one for The Arcade Fire. In June 2003, Régine’s grandmother Nancy died; in August, Win and Régine were married; in September, the Arcade Fire started recording their debut album. In March 2004, Win and Will’s grandfather Alvino Rey died; Richard Parry’s Aunt Betsy passed away in April; in May 2004 the Arcade Fire were signed to Merge Records, and completed their album. It having been something of a heavy hitting year, the band’s minds were somewhat a-whirl. The deaths of Nancy , Alvino and Betsy brought to mind all the people they had loved who had died: they decided to call their newly completed album Funeral. The Arcade Fire reside in Montreal, Quebec. Win moved to Montreal four winters ago, as a panther moves from jungle to More... (Submit New The Arcade Fire Lyrics) (Submit New The Arcade Fire Lyrics) In Haiti Listening to this Song | Reviewer: ktaber ------ About the song Haiti performed by The Arcade Fire As the title of my review suggests, I am actually sitting outside of a little market drinking a Prestige beer listening to this song over and over on my laptop while I'm sending emails home. I'm glad to say that violence in Haiti isn't so much a problem anymore so much as absolute poverty. We're working to feed malnourished children and I will have this haunting song in the back of my head every day as we reach out to them. Reply to "What the F" | Reviewer: Luann D ------ About the song Intervention performed by The Arcade Fire I am almost positive the line you quoted might be an incorrect interpretation. What jumped right out at me is when I first heard it was: "hear the soldier groan, he'll die alone". Also, I never associate this song with our soldiers being in Iraq and the Iraqi war. I feel it is a statement concerning the violence and terrorism in Northern Ireland. Replies to my comment are welcome! Umm... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Intervention performed by The Arcade Fire First time I heard Arcade Fire was when I saw them at Big Day Out on the Gold Coast and although I went for Rage Against the Machine and the Midnight Juggernauts, I found this incredibly original and unbelievable band playing before them, who I instantly fell in love with after hearing Keep the Car Running, Neighbourhood #3 and in particular Intervention. Get over the bickering and fighting and enjoy a beautifully performed, amazingly poignant and otherwise incredible song and stop forcing your opinions on people, sure state what you think it is about but if you don't agree, who cares? Get over it and interpret it in your own special way, that's what music is about. an odor so sweet... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Crown Of Love performed by The Arcade Fire Every time I hear this song, I think that it conveys such deep pain, almost like an obsession, but not dangerous like that. It's kind of creepy in that it's so much pure emotion, and seems like the main voice is forcing a "straight answer" from the one by whom he's been hurt/has hurt. Maybe an apology for something gone wrong... If you've ever seen "Endless Love" (old crappy 80's movie) I kind of picture it like that. "I'm sorry I burnt down your house and broke out of jail just trying to see you, but it's only because I love you and I need to know that you love me too"... make sense, anyone? The meaning of the song | Reviewer: Mitch ------ About the song In The Backseat performed by The Arcade Fire When i listened to this song, i wondered, "what was she singing for?" Does anyone think that the song means that she hadnt matured or grown really until alice died, maybe her mother? And now she had to grow up. So possibly this song was about a rite of passage? extended metaphor | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Neighborhood #5 (Hockey) performed by The Arcade Fire its obviously a metaphor for life and death. he's saying that life on earth is a game ("now here's the puck, its alright") and that when the scoreboard light goes out, or we die, it doesnt matter what the score was because there isn't even a puck in play. if u listen to the song, its a sweet yet melancholy kind of sing along, like we're all players in the same game, but the buzzer rings for all of us. plus, u can hear regine making buzzer noises in the background, which completes the metaphor. Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Crown Of Love performed by The Arcade Fire 'Crown of Love' is currently my favorite song, because of the pureness of it. The emotion in the lead singer's voice is so raw, the passion is so audible. I love the tempo change at the end, and the lyrics are so rich with imagery. "You've gotta be the one, you gotta be the way, your name is the only word that I can say." I think that line is just radiating sadness and resignation, what a beautiful song. Watch American Television around 12 a.m. | Reviewer: Dav ------ About the song Windowsill performed by The Arcade Fire And then take an overview of the american consumer/pop culture.....apply it to a society led blindly by such things and then take on the perspective of a man/woman who knows better watching these events unfold... and they no longer want to be a part of a society where you can enchance your genitals,make a million in a day, and save yourself from an eternity in hell and get a heads up on the coming apocalypse for the low low price of $19.99. "Then I think you may understand the meanign of this song a little better" DEAR ANONYMOUS. | Reviewer: lemmie ------ About the song Haiti performed by The Arcade Fire you're dominica? so you think you're the only person out there who knows the "true meaning" behind this song? well good on you for having the skill to remain so narrow minded in the twenty first fucking century. SINCERELY YOURS. x.fuckwit. Amazing! | Reviewer: Jake ------ About the song Windowsill performed by The Arcade Fire This isn't about a girl wanting to run away. What has MTV done to you? It's about how sick he is of American culture, American greed, and American imperialism and self rightousness. He doesn't want to live in this world being passed onto us in the younger generation. It's sick and it's twisted, and it's against all he wants to be and thinks the world should be. It's been awhile since I've heard a song that really strikes this much of a chord in me. A song that really sums up so much of what I feel and think about. I'm now one of Arcade Fire's biggest fans. i love arcade fire | Reviewer: daniella ------ About the song Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) performed by The Arcade Fire i believe this is about searching for something that will save you. he's obviously lost and feeling worthless in his life. but he knows you can't hurry fate or rush love, you can't plan anything in life. "a watched pot won't ever boil" meaning you cant stand around and wait, you have to go on living and when you least expect it, something or someone will come and enter your life. and they will spark the change in you. Beautiful | Reviewer: Kelsey ------ About the song Crown Of Love performed by The Arcade Fire I cry every time I hear this song. In case you hadn't notice they're obviously against mainstream christianity. Check out their second album's lyrics. I positively love everything that is Arcade Fire. Fantastic Song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song My Body Is A Cage performed by The Arcade Fire God this song, is amazing, its on the trailer for True Stories and was on the trailer for Supernatural thats was i liked about it, i watch Supernatural and liked th song. Its just amazing! one of the poorer lyrics of their music | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Rebellion (Lies) performed by The Arcade Fire I believe the lyrics to this songs, as a whole, are a little weak if so many different interpretations can be validly made. It's okay for poetry/lyrics to be ambiguous, but not to the point where no one can really know what they are saying. this song is rubbish | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song No Cars Go performed by The Arcade Fire this song reminds me of eminem-lose yourself, its kinda catchy but just plain rubbish overall...how can you like this??? just kidding! this song is awesome and arcade fire were great live! Antithesis to a heavy, thoughtful, disallusioned meditation | Reviewer: craig ------ About the song No Cars Go performed by The Arcade Fire I think Neon Bible best sums up exactly how I feel about this time and place. The album stacks layer upon layer of disallusioned frustration: the failure of religion, the failure of the American Dream. Windowsill cuts right to the bone of it: "I don't wanna live in America no more". And then, when the anger ebbs into an almost defeated exhaustion, No Cars Go comes from nowhere. It infuses into this long, sober meditation an immense shock of hope: don't lose sight, don't grow up TOO fast. This song is the escape hatch, and he's taking everyone along: "women and children -- LETS GO!". Brilliant. Alexander Supertramp... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Neighborhood #2 (Laika) performed by The Arcade Fire Apparently this song is about Christopher McCandless, or 'Alexander Supertramp' as he preferred to be called. His story is documented in the novel (and now major film) 'Into The Wild', if anyone is interested in finding out more. Love it. Wake Up People! Wake Up!!!! | Reviewer: najo ------ About the song Wake Up performed by The Arcade Fire Just saw them at the Big day out festival in the Gold Coast Australia. They played before Silverchair, Bjork and Rage Against the Machine!!! the best outdoor concert ever! I have to say this song stuck with me so strong, even after seeing so many awesome sets by the others. esp Fricking RAGE!!! This son gwas uplifiting and yeah 40,000 people felt like one big voice! Arcade Fire are here to stay! OooHHhhhhhhhhh OOOoohhhhHHHHH!!! There is a price for freedom | Reviewer: Johnny ------ About the song Intervention performed by The Arcade Fire ...and cowards will sell out anyone, at any cost...at a much higher cost than those willing to die to let others live in freedom. Don't get me wrong, I welcome the voice of anyone, whether I agree with them or not. I support the war though tactically Bush has been stubborn on the need to change direction and tactics. Looks like in the past 6 months he has swallowed his pride and is heading the efforts against terrorism in the right direction. The results are showing. I dont support a lot of the things President Bush stands for or has done on domestic issues. He has been wrong on many matters of the war, but has been steadfast in standing up against terrorists - the 21st Century Bullies. That says so much more with his predecessor (BC) who shrugs his shoulders when asked what he did to prevent terrorism and offers the same old line - "I tried!" Sorry, not hard enough, and now we are cleaning up your mess. incredible | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song No Cars Go performed by The Arcade Fire Never really listened to this song much mainly as its at the end of the album and i don't always get through but it certainly is now one of my favourites. I guess everyone has their own take on it. I took it as meaning the power of imagination and dreams and how they can be uncluttered by the everyday that we have created for ourselves, and we can all go there to escape into the unknown. Either way, i will be seeing them in 5 days!
