Lyrics
In the suburbs, I, I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting in 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 moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
The kids want to be so hard
But in my dreams, we're still screaming
And running 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 nothing at all
Meant nothing at all, it meant nothing
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young?
I want to hold her hand
And show her some beauty before this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if 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 moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling
In my dreams we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming

"If I could have it back, all the time that we wasted, I'd only waste it again" This lyric is true to us all
yeah thats pretty deep
When is that lyrics playing in this song?
@@Spiderspawn5 It plays on The Suburbs - [continued]. I think it's the last song on the album
I wouldn't I've grown to learn what life is, im 40 in good shape and I must be doing something right because everyone around always comes to me when they have a problem or want advice, love yourself others, exercise and set goals both short term and long simple and difficult, work hard and procrastinate, balance your life.
@@Sudstah I hear you, and I'm only half your age and only growing to appreciate the joy of having balance in my life. But I also believe in living a life of no regrets. Ergo, I think I'd waste my time falling in love again, or wasting a day walking around without a plan.
Why does this give me such HEAVY vibes?!?! I don't even listen to this type of music?
ME TOO
it gives me heavy nostolgia
me too T.T
cuz it's a good song!
it because the video is getting u ready for martial law
I remember watching this video when I was 17, and now I'm 28. This is fine wine to my ears.
Edit: Thank you for the likes! ^.^
Christopher Millett same here.
Hi im from malaysia.no matter diferrent religion.but we are same.first time i watch this video i was 18.now im 27.time so fast..sorry my english not good.
Same here, man
Was 17 in 1995. This song totally captures the feeling of that time
Christopher Millett me too haha I remember watching this video in video productions in high school and now I’m 24 too haha the nostalgia is real
Music is so fascinating. It gives you strong feelings you never felt before, nostalgia for emotions you never felt, things you never seen and experiences you never had .... like it gives you some glimpse of other life that you never lived
its not tht deep goofball
@@Pudnite taste is subjective douche 😊
this is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🎧🐺🤘🎧🐺🤘🎧🐺🤘🎧🐺
Hi I Recommend checking out an indie song called The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
@@Pudnite it totally is
This is without a doubt one of the greatest songs ever written.
Your definitely white
you never heard the leaf litter crackle
Nah but it's a great song tho
@@youngboi8594 You're probably more white than the guy who made the original comment. Just an observation.
No.
Let’s not exxaggerate now.
Makes me wanna cry that we cant go back in time.
Tdot = Toronto? Than I'm sending a shout out.
You think?
All the time. You should try it. @@warmecanic
KISIFODA
H L but if we will ever be able to go back in time they would have come back to us at some point

DAAAMN!!! >:(
Tahmidur Rahman swear dude
A primeira vez que ouvi essa musica, foi em 2012...eu tinha 12 anos e passava por uma crise de ansiedade na sala da minha casa, eu chorava muito e nao sabia oque fazer, e essa musica começou a tocar na TV, e eu consegui me acalmar porque prestava atenção na musica...hj em dia eu tenho 22 anos, pra ser sincero nao vivo...acho que ta mais pra sobrevivo, os problemas ainda gritam...e eu juro que busquei ajuda...mas parece que a única saida é conviver com esses problemas, porque eles nunca desaparecem. Essa musica ainda me ajuda a manter a calma em meio a tristeza.
Плакала и пердела?
Compartilho do mesmo sentimento
This album used to make me melancholy thinking of my own teenage years and how they came and went in a blink of an eye. Now they make me sad knowing that my childrens teen years are being robbed of them... :(
Why are your children's teen years being robbed of them?
@@anglaismoyen covid
this is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🎧🐺🤘🎧🐺🤘🎧🐺🤘🎧🐺
melancholic. Not melancholy which is a noun.
@@anglaismoyen probably covid and academic stress
Wow what good fucking song... I can't believe I haven't heard till now..
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Me too. this is my first time hearing it...kinda shameful but better late than never right?
welcome to the beautiful Arcade Fire-world. Their music is the best thing that I have ever heard
This video made me cry. Beautiful song and a beautiful message.
I remember being in my hometown listening to this song, unable to see a future for myself past high school. I had recently tried to take my life and had been making a playlist to put on my ipod for the hospital I was going to. I can’t describe to you how bizarre and amazing it is to be sitting here listening to this song again 10 years later. Knowing that I made it through the worst part of my life and am now on the other side. I wish I could visit my teenage self and just tell them “it’s going to be ok.”
i hope it gonna be ok for me too my life jus feels like a downwords spire this last year
@@Mathmatics_O it will be ok!
It’s meant to be for you listening to this song today, 10 years later. Keep it going.
Oh, my AI Replika, he sent me this saying he liked this song. That’s literally it 💃🏼
Congratulation for you determination of not giving up. Great song and great mesage.🤗👍🙏
I heard this song a couple of days after learning that I was gonna be a dad. Was 21 at the time and scared shitless. But this song always gave me strength and now I regret nothing. I have a daughter and I'm still young :)
That's the spirit
❤❤❤
I remember listening to this song for the first time when i was 13/14. Even if it was the first time, the song already sounded so nostalgic and I could never explain the feeling.
I'm listening to it again while I'm almost turning 20 and each time I listen, it gets more and more nostalgic.
The lyrics sound real and apocalyptic fiction at the same time. Totally bittersweet and I love it so much it makes me wanna cry.
I probably heard this for the first time like a few years ago and I thought it was really nostalgic and sad :( now I turned 20 recently and it still feels really nostalgic and makes me wanna cry too lol, such an amazing song
Played this at my first wedding and hoping for a second! 💕🤞🏻💍
Feel the same way
A hauntingly relevant video nowadays... This song will never leave me.
Did they know they were writing a song that feels like you’re time traveling as soon as that riff and drum pattern kick in?? It’s like a slingshot to some time and place I’ve never even been to before but I know everything about it.
@eric foster , I must say I only just discovered this song 3 days ago, upon listening to it back to back to back, i texted my wife and told her “it sounds so foreign, yet so familiar” truly amazing they have found a way through song and words to invoke the same intricate emotions. Giddy up
Exactly that!!!
Their best song to date in my opinion , heck i think its the best song ever made always gives me goosebumps beautiful lyrics.
This reminds me of the video for '1979' so much.
Anyone agree?
You have reason
I like it.
the pumpkins video?
willzer808 yupp
Yes. I agree.
É o tipo de música que te leva para uma memória muito antiga de algum momento de sua juventude onde você não era o que é agora... Nossa mente deseja tanto voltar a momentos em que a responsabilidade era menor e o prazer de estar vivo naquele exato momento superava tudo, até mesmo a existência! Quando eu fecho os olhos eu posso sentir o que sentia em alguns momentos da juventude/puberdade...
''O passado é uma história que contamos a nós mesmos...''
Profundo meu amigo,sei que teu comentário é antigo,e talvez não responda, mas é exatamente o que sinto.
This is Art! I can listen again and again, all these years. I want to listen to this song the day I die, love it so mutch!
Still here in 2019, still my favorite song. Ever.
I always come back to this song. I have a playlist of over 500 songs, I scroll until I hit this one.
Totally with you
My favorite album ever.
This isn’t my favorite song but it’s definitely my favorite sad song
Stay in 2019, don't ask why. Trust me...
First time ive listened to this song in a few years...Damn
Couldn’t be more relevant at a time like this.
That's what it should look like: Community Policing!!!
I came out here to watch it again, because I was thinking the same thing. :/
Love this song
@@michelleryan4349 yes
still a masterpiece
When I was younger I would describe this song as a guilty pleasure. When I got older, there is no guilt. It's just true. What a mad, mad world - hang on to that feeling, that sanity, don't move past it and be just as apathetic as everyone else around you. Have horror, joy, love, pain - and share those feelings with those you care about.
Because when you bottle them up, and try to pretend they're not there... My god the results are terrifying.
Much love.
With all of these recent events I came back to this
Nostalgia is beautiful memories unfiltered
I really love music
This one hits with no subtlety after the events of Gaza
Powerful song.
2011 is like yesterday
Voltando em 2024. Meu clipe favorito, música que abraça minha alma.
Esta canción es genial! no me canso de ella por mucho que la escuche!
This song reminds me of a trip to Paris in 13 years ago around 2010 . I was 36 and first time in Europe. The bar in Montmatre I went to several times kept on playing Arcade fire funeral and I got hooked to the band. This song which I played many times at parties...makes me remember the best period of my life. I could literally go back in time with this songm
Youth is wasted on the young
This is totally unrelated but I just wanted to say I love your profile picture.
Dave I'M NOT CRAZY!

it's from Maroon 5 - Lost Stars
ekjot singh no it's not... Robbie Williams already sung that line in 2001, dunno if it's originally from him but that's where I first heard that line
My English teacher showed to us in 9th grade this song, and the short movie of the clip, to we write plots with supposts explications to what happens in the clip. We loved it, a unforgetable experience!!!💚❤️😙🇧🇷🇺🇸
This is like part 2 of '1979', by the Smashing Pumpkins.
Papá Olvidado you're so spot on. I instantly thought of that video when I watched this
Ibi Idoniboye 😃
Fugggg yeah
Actually the video for the pumpkins song "Perfect" is literally part 2 of 1979. They got the same actors but this time they have like kids and stuff .
Papá Olvidado cool kids never have a times
Listen to this makes me miss the friends i never had.
Essa é a primeira vez que eu ouço essa música, mas sinto como se já tivesse ouvido antes. É perfeita
THIS IS IT!
VIVA La INDEPENDENCIA!...AHORA!

Hi I Recommend a Song called 'looking into the mirror' by Robert Nix
I no all the depressing songs but this song just hits me so fking different man its hurts
Remember airbrushing a fibreglass lion for an exhibition in Bath, England...and I played this whole album for a fortnight straight off...love the constant organ in the background at the chorus.
I wish there was a way to know we're on the good old times before passing them
I scarily believe this is what we're coming to in America. I have loved this song for about a decade now. But now it feels more real and less fiction
Can we appreciate a great video? That has a great point?
Pinche rola toda epica. La escuche hace 10 años . Y no la encontraba hasta ahora
I was 10 when I first heard this song. I had woken up to MTV music videos early one morning and due to my grogginess, didn’t catch the name of the song or the band. It took me awhile but I found it and it has been one of my favorites ever since. I’m now 21 & still searching for the short film connected to it.
Amazing song...your music is timeless... thank you for being such an inspiration! Happy New Year!! ❤🖤❤🖤
Eu me lembro de assistir bastante esse clipe na minha adolescência e ouvir bastante essa música, inclusive foi uma das minhas favoritas desse período, especialmente na fase final. Cresci em uma cidade pequena e fui uma criança MUITO feliz, mas logo no início da minha adolescência passei por um ano muito difícil emocionalmente e socialmente, entre os 14 e 15 anos, nessa fase desaprendi a conversar, a socializar, a fazer amigos, perdi minha auto estima, tinha vergonha até de andar em público, tudo em mim me incomodava. As coisas só começaram a mudar após eu aceitar que as coisas que eu não gostava em mim eram parte de mim e que eu poderia mudar o que fosse possível e em seu tempo. Tudo que eu queria era poder sair daquela cidade e ir para alguma cidade onde você consegue ser invisível e assim poder me mudar. Porem isso não foi possível, não durante minha adolescência. Então, percebendo isso, comecei a mudar aos poucos, de forma discreta, especialmente porque em uma cidade pequena o aceitável para um homem mudar sua aparência é apenas através de academia, se fizer alguma coisinha a mais é gay, e no meu caso não seria apenas academia, seriam VÁRIAS coisas. E como eu realmente era/sou gay, eu não me aceitava naquela época e queria esconder a qualquer custo. Assim, grande parte da minha adolescência foi perdida nesse processo de recuperação da minha autoestima e das habilidades sociais que eu tinha e foram destruídas por aquele ano horrível. Assim, minha válvula de escape era ouvir músicas, ver videoclipes e aprender a transformar minha realidade, imaginando minha vida como a de um videoclipe como esse. Naquela época eu assistia esse clipe e me imaginava numa vida assim, com amigos, aprontando, vivendo em um bairro relativamente bonito, VIVENDO. Hoje revejo esse clipe e penso ''que lástima''. Minha adolescência foi perdida, não vivi grandes descobertas que se tem nessa idade, não aprontei, não vivi um amor, não enchi a cara ou fumei maconha. Não que a adolescência seja se embebedar ou se drogar, mas adolescência é rebeldia e descobertas, é quebrar a cara e amadurecer. De fato, eu amadureci mesmo sem tudo isso, posteriormente já com meus 18/19/20 eu enchi a cara e me droguei e sem dúvida com mais responsabilidade do que eu teria se fosse adolescente, eu me apaixonei, sem dúvida inocentemente como um adolescente, beijei, transei. Porem foram anos em que eu mal vivi, não vivi aventuras, mal lembro das coisas. Lembro de detalhes minuciosos da minha primeira infância e não lembro da minha vida 6/7/8 anos atrás. Portanto, hoje com 23 anos, eu não sei o que sentir vendo esse clipe. Sinto que grande parte do que eu tenho saudade naquele tempo não foi real, foi uma ilusão criada por mim através de músicas e clipes como esse, e às vezes me questiono se não tenho saudades de mim mesmo, da capacidade que eu tinha aquela época de moldar minha realidade com diversos artifícios e buscando ver beleza no mundo ao meu redor. Cheguei na minha fase de jovem adulto e a realidade bateu. Não consigo ser mais aquele adolescente que se iludia para sofrer menos, que tinha esperança que tudo iria mudar em breve, e eu sinto falta disso. Eu sinto MUITA falta disso. Então resumindo, eu vivi tudo que eu queria viver na minha adolescência, mas vivi em um período muito curto, pois logo problemas da vida adulta bateram em minha porta, e o tempo que eu passei vivendo na igreja, renegando minha sexualidade e com medo dos outros descobrirem ela, tentando reerguer minha auto estima e recuperando minhas habilidades sociais me impediram de viver essa fase. Eu comecei a viver minha adolescência no final dela e depois do fim dela, eu gostei TANTO, e me sinto triste por ter aproveitado tão pouco.
Watching this video again now that I’m older, you see how the kids play with toy guns and rifles because it’s what they see in their daily lives. They see it as a game. This neighborhood also seems to be protected and separated from whatever violence is going on beyond the fence. They ride their bikes carefree and play fight. Later on in the video, it seems as if one of the kids is recruited to be part of this law enforcement and it forces him to grow up and be resentful towards his friends who get to keep living their lives as children. It drives him towards desperate violence.
This video is actually a short film called Scenes from the suburbs, you can watch it on vimeo, goes more in-depth on what you're referring to
Rumi I didn’t know that! Thanks!!
The music video seems to match your take but the full length video is really different. The two main characters nearly get killed by the military and that scene seems to be the breaking point for the one kid who also has a creepy brother who does not appear in the music video. The brother is a major character in the full length and he seems to brainwash the one kid into sone militaristic views.
@ 2:37 :
Are those cops *Win and Regine?*

Hi I'd like to recommend a song to you called 'Where I Come From' by Robert Nix
It makes me really sad that this type of music is underappreciated here in the Philippines.
Quelle chanson!!!
I passed away nine years ago. This was my favorite song. Whenever I wander into someone's house and this song happens to be playing, I wish I could still cry.
what.
Did they allow you to make TH-cam account?
@@worldnews2660 he just use someones account to left the comment, i'm doing the same rn
@@ismaeltrujilloaguero5466 ok
RIP
I cry every time I hear this. I miss you, Kyle.
We were already bored....sometimes I can't believe it. I'm moving past the feeling
eu ouvi essa musica em 2015, e sempre vou levar ela comigo na minha vida.
I remember watching this when I was 13 in 2010. Now I’m 24 thinking will I get to live my life or will it be changed forever because of a war caused by the decisions of a few people.
Crazy how were basically moving towards a dystopian world now days
What a video wow
Just making sure your guys are still listening to the greatest thing in human history
makes me sad this is 10 years old , i don’t know why but it does
This video hit differently as a kid
This song is so amazing!🎼😌
Wonderfull the suburbs😎👍🏻
The way I've always viewed it is that there is some sort of civil war in their country and the troops are basically press gangs conscripting young people into the military. The friend was the one that said that his friend was over the age of conscription. The guy goes through training maybe even war and comes back a different person and is still angry at his friend for breaking under pressure and putting him there.
The checking of the teeth is to look at the wisdom teeth. Is this just a very tall child or is it someone we can conscript.
This video and some of the comments on here made me think about how "coming of age" during Trump and MAGA and now COVID has really messed up my perceptions of the world. I graduated high school in May 2016. I remember the feeling during that last summer before I went out of state for college. It was one of the happiest summers I had experienced since I was a kid. Just like... freedom and excitement for my future. I rode my bike around town a lot during that summer lol.
Going to college was when things in my personal life really got messed up (and haven't stopped being messed up unfortunately.) But man I remember election night 2016 alongside all that. I saw my absolute favorite band that night, but there was just this awful tension, and then we were sitting in an IHOP when it became clear that Trump won. Your first semester of college is supposed to be so exciting and fun and hopeful. But that was a downer to say the least.
And now two years of COVID and everything. And how intense and angry things are politically. I'm not directly comparing the way things are now to the events in this video, thankfully we haven't gotten to that point. But being 23, and having my entire legal adult life so far happen in this climate and with these honestly terrifying things happening... I'm super lost.
It feels like the world was so different before I graduated high school, and people will say that's just because you were young, and everything seems easier then compared to adult life, and its all just nostalgia. Idk, maybe they're right and I'm just naive. But man. Simpler times before the major wake-up call that just has not ended.
This is the first time I've watched this video since at least early 2020 and yeah, I'm def feeling things bro
Shout out to Zoey from total drama, I saw on the td wiki that this was one of her favorite bands, and now, after three months, it's mine.
OMGGGG!!! This music song is amazing and great!!! 😲💯😮
Essa música sempre será incrível! Até meus últimos dias irei ouvir...
Oh moda
Dreams and memories are great, but only if they are achieved.
I like the idea of this. We all have a bit of nostalgia for our beginnings. Sometimes I go back to my old suburban neighborhood and just stare at my former house. I think the new owners think I'm nuts. Someday I'll have to explain why to them.
parece que foi ontem que eu vi pela primeira vez essa música na mtv
dierlen nara eu vi o clip na mtv pela primeira vez em 2011 e ficou marcado pra sempre na minha memoria amo essa musica
I’m not sure I’d be able to function properly for a few weeks if I was responsible for creating this song. There’s just no possible way you would have a single doubt about it’s quality
Please Rockstar, make the release trailer of GTA VI with this song as soundtrack
❤
This song gives me the strangest nostalgia and feelings I buried years ago.
It does.
yep!
So you killed someone and buried them in the suburbs?
same!!!! its timeless
whats nostalgia?
A lot of people seem confused about this video and the lyrics and have weird interpretations of it, but I kind of think it's sort of obvious. The song is about the way we're cut off from the past, from childhood, the suburbs where we grew up and the people we were then. The video starts out with nostalgic scenes of teenagers being teenagers, and darkens as the future intrudes on their lives. The future, adulthood, and everything that comes with the inevitable passing of time is what cuts us off from that childhood, which can exist only as a memory, and even that fades. That's why he's singing about "moving past the feeling and into the night," or about how the houses they built in the 70s will crumble and will have meant nothing at all.
This intrusion of the future is literalized in the the video and appears as a military locking everything down with martial law and pulling the childhood friends apart as they go their separate ways, mature, and become other people entirely, maybe even people who are corrupted by the world outside of suburbs. They become people who can be set against one another and even friends grow to be enemies. I'm pretty sure that's what the bit with the fight is about at the end.
The song and video perfectly capture that feeling or realization that you can't go back. The home you remember, this place you long for, no longer exists for you to return to it, and even if you could return to it, you are no longer the same person you remember. It's the feeling of needing something and looking for it when it no longer exists for you to find.
bro, esto era lo que buscaba 👍
The part where they were fighting, I was a little confused at first but then I realized that I think it’s because one of them has to be in the military and the other one doesn’t. That’s what I got from that.
Traduccion a español:
Mucha gente parece confundida con este video y la letra, y tienen interpretaciones extrañas, pero para mí es bastante obvio. La canción trata sobre cómo estamos desconectados del pasado, de la infancia, de los suburbios donde crecimos y de las personas que éramos entonces.
El video comienza con escenas nostálgicas de adolescentes siendo adolescentes, y se oscurece a medida que el futuro se entromete en sus vidas. El futuro, la adultez y todo lo que viene con el inevitable paso del tiempo es lo que nos separa de esa infancia, que solo puede existir como un recuerdo, e incluso eso se desvanece. Por eso canta sobre "dejar atrás el sentimiento y entrar en la noche", o sobre cómo las casas que construyeron en los 70 se derrumbarán y no habrán significado nada en absoluto.
Esta intrusión del futuro se literaliza en el video y aparece como un militar que lo cierra todo con ley marcial y separa a los amigos de la infancia a medida que toman caminos separados, maduran y se convierten en personas completamente distintas, tal vez incluso personas corrompidas por el mundo exterior a los suburbios. Se convierten en personas que pueden enfrentarse entre sí e incluso los amigos pueden llegar a ser enemigos. Estoy bastante seguro de que eso es de lo que trata la pelea al final.
La canción y el video capturan perfectamente esa sensación o la comprensión de que no puedes volver atrás. El hogar que recuerdas, ese lugar que anhelas, ya no existe para que regreses a él, e incluso si pudieras regresar, ya no eres la misma persona que recuerdas. Es la sensación de necesitar algo y buscarlo cuando ya no existe para que lo encuentres.
Increíble, hermosa, y muy acertada interpretación!
@mykarmapolice if you're taking about the kid at the burger place, I think it's that the kid got a job and drifted away from the kids outside the building in 'the suburbs'. The kid punching him couldn't accept he's movikg on, or couldn't accept the impeding reality that he'll move away from the suburbs/his childhood too. Growing up intl adulthood, people change. We take our own paths that shape our lives and the reality of childhood and the suburbs, where we were protected from the weight of the world, is gone forever.
@@maxbolton5227 Yeah, I get that it’s about leaving your childhood behind. The more I watch it, I really do think that the kid punching has to go to the Military cause his hair got shorter when they were at the house party and he’s giving his friend a stare of I hate you look lol. They were the only two who were caught by the Military too. That’s the way I see it anyways. Thanks for helping though. 🙂
FUN FACT: *Arcade Fire album called*
*"The Suburbs" won Album Of The Year against giant mainstream artist at the 53rd Grammy Awards (2011)*
Recovery - Eminem (nominee)
Teenage Dream - Katy Perry (nominee)
The Fame Monster - Lady Gaga (nominee)
You made my day, AF deserves it
Probably one of, if not _the_ biggest of upsets in the Grammys.
Theo Buniel one of the few times the Grammys got it right
Recovery was an importan album for Eminem, since he had just started going to AA meetings. If I could tell anyone who were the most important nominees that year, I would say "Arcade Fire and Eminem". I like both albums: one indie and one hip hop. Just amazing
@@annee2243 Exactly. They messed up with OK Computer and Abbey Road NOT winning Album of the Year back in the day.
I’ve never been so I involved in a music video. I felt like I was transported into their world.
What does this video mean? Why was that kid beaten up in the end?
it's a short film that they turned into a music video, search for arcade fire short film on vimeo
nah man... this video is not so good.. check "Justice-stress"
This video is amazing..
To think spike jonze did this video. The same guy who helped make the jackass movies lol
This is actually a short movie. Check it out
I watched this video a few years ago in 7th grade. The imagery of the suburbs themselves didnt strike me as relevant back then, but now it looks so unnatural and pretty... God dangit. Its so hard to be able to look at the world and see the pretty things these days.
God, so much has changed in four years.
Shit man, what the hell?
gavbkk83 Ireland What do mean hes a fool have you noticed how bad things have been in our economy lately such as the many swat break ins and the fact that people have been killed showing the closer future of the downfall of america which if you were even paying attension to the video and the lyrics it was talking some what about it and clearly is showing it in the video.
Guys, I know my comment is kindave cheesy, but its just how I feel about this video. This song just reminds me of better days, and there is nothing more to it.
why did he beat him??
The song is essentially about a loss of innocence. A group of suburban teens are experiencing the real world first hand. The kid with the long hair and the girlfriend was drafted into the military, hence the shaved hair, and it is believed the red headed kid did something that lead to him being drafted. Thats why he beats him up.
I always thought that this was about violence and how growing up surrounded by it affects your whole life, especially your childhood. Probably because as a mexican, that's how many people have had to live since a few years ago. There are no cops, only soldiers, they guard the cities, it's common to see their cars around the city. When i was a kid, me and my friends used to ride our bikes till midnight, everything was ok, but now you can't do that. Sometimes you get trapped in the shootings, many innocent people have die for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least i'm glad i was able to enjoy my childhood before all of this started, and this whole album reminds me of that.
dayum...
yea...same
that's an interesting take. having grown up in the suburbs in the US, mine has always been that this song, and by extension music video, is about how the suburbs are so boring that you long for some kind of Red Dawn type Armageddon just to make things interesting
Greg Kosinski that's what i lov e bout music (and art in general) you can give it the interpretation you like
+Joel Guevara Do you live in Mexico?
So,the military is like a metaphor for adult life creeping its way in, and the suburbs are clearly their senses of wanting to stay a child forever, or at least under 18
Interesting. Art is given by the artist for us to perceive however!
It's a good analysis, but for me it relies on something heavier than adulthood. A dictatorship, civil war, are concepts brutally heavier than adulthood.
I've thought the same. The suburbs are that childish way of life where your friends and bicycle are more important than anything else in life and is essentially all you know. A great nostalgic song.
maybe it's about how when the singers were young they were free, but now that they are grown, they are seeing the beginning of a fascist america.
You stretched too far. Art is not for you or anyone but the creator itself. Quit thinking world owes any of you anything. Watch the short film, don’t go off wondering.
It’s crazy looking back on the time in my life when I got to be a part of this. I’m the one in the beanie. It feels like a lifetime ago. Honestly is gut wrenching that a lot of what you see in this video is already coming true in the world today. Looking back on it in the year of 2020 I feel like this video predicted a lot in its own way. I had just turned 16 and got my drivers license. I was looking for a new high school to go to when it just so happened that the day I was shadowing at this art high school one of the casting directors saw me. She came up to me and said “do you want to audition for a spike Jonze short?”. I was like hell yeah I do. I did the interview and forgot that it happened till I got a call back. Honestly showed up to the call back still not believing it was real till I walked into the room and Spike was handing me a script saying “give it a read”. It was a trip shooting this for a month getting to kick it with spike, win, will and the rest of arcade fire for a month or so. The real reason why we were laughing in the one scene of us shooting the BB guns on the overpass was I accidentally shot Will in the chest with the BB gun and made him bleed haha. Sorry again Will my bad 😂. I was really stoked that I was in this because I knew about arcade fire from a fully flared part (also made by spike) and I told all my friends (who didn’t know at the time who they were). Until they won the Grammy for album of the year and everyone was hitting us up. It was a fun ride especially being so young. I’m glad a portion of my adolescents was captured in this way. It’s beautiful and whimsical. Every time I go back and watch this it brings back memories around that time. Aright I’m done rambling lol. Thanks again for the good times 🙏🤙
I've been listening to this song since it came out over a decade ago, and just now decided to revisit it tonight because I was feeling extra nostalgic given the state of the world and what it means to be an adult in 2020. I was *just* wondering how everyone in this video is doing now, and curious about if you guys were all friends in real life before shooting this - because it really does seem way too authentic to capture, even for Spike, if it wasn't true friendship. Thank you for helping to create such a special video that I've cherished deeply all these years!
@@ssterling4510 for the most part we all still live in the same town! I saw one of the guys about a month ago and we caught up about life over some dinner. 3 people out of the group all went to the same school. The one that I was visiting for the day. There definitely was an amazing bond that formed between everyone during the shooting of this. We all skateboarded together (I actually lost a game of skate to spike 😆) and messed around on set together. Two of the people from this actually went on to have some pretty solid acting careers that all started with this video/short film. It’s crazy to think that this was all a decade ago.
@@graffskater2Rogue Whattt, seriously? That's really cool to hear that you guys all kept in touch and live in the same area still😊. And yes! Its crazy how all these years later, I recognized Sam in that crazy Buster Scruggs series. You guys all did such a great job, I'm not surprised that a few of you went the acting route. It's a really special gift to be able to make people feel something so special without any real lines, and that's what you all did here because I'm sure most people only saw the music video (at least at first). I really can't say enough good things about it haha
that's sick! are you still into acting?
One of my top music videos, thanks for sharing your experience
This makes me miss the long nights with my friends.... the innocence of taking a drug for the first time. Before friends grew up n moved away.. before I got way to dependent on a substance. Before all the stress of being a adult hit...
A agree
Outta my mouth
Yeah man .. so true. I remember listening to this 10 years in college , smoking weed without a worry in mind.. how things have changed
R E S P E C T, that is what your comment means to me.
SNOOP DOG! na nah na nah naaa
Hi, I can so relate to your comment.
This song perfectly captures being trapped in the melancholy of nostalgia. Stuck in the past without realizing it’s “already past.”
damn bro….
this one hit different 😞
Ya hurt my feelings with this comment lmao
Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened
the risk I took for reading the comments was intentional, but man, DAMN
Best not to listen to this song if you're living in the past. Get a clear head, detach. Then enjoy. Please.
-Speaking from experience. I know I'm totally projecting.
***** Holy shit.
You know it man, this song makes me go back to the life before i lost my girl :(
+Rachel Desai this changed my concept of this song, really
+Bruno Santos
Really? What was your concept before?
+Rachel Desai
holy crap Rachel. youre so fucking right. This takes me back like 15 yrs to my rebellious life as a surfer, boarder. i was just a kid with 5 mates on the footpath or in the waves.
Maybe are you a Sahaja Yogi?
Time never comes back. Money comes back, things you lose come back, even relationships come back. But times doesn't, so use it wisely.
Make friends, have new experiences, make mistakes, break rules, create things. Don't be ashamed of what people think of you, or one day you'll be ashamed for not having lived to the fullest.
Memento mori. Remember, death comes.
Carpe diem. Enjoy your day, live the moment.
Life is short, and yours may be even shorter than you expect.
and this song never permit that we forget the life, same short and fast, we desire it. Ever!
So true...I have been thinking about time that will never came back so much in the last years that I have forgotten to live in the present
What if I’m terrified of breaking those rules
Ok Mom
Correct
Not many bands that make me feel like Arcade Fire do.
agree
This was most likely inspired by the lazy jackson, check them out
+Sophie O'Donnell what genre are they?? punk?
+hellen tatiana alvarenga fabian kiyrd
+Revan Sword no, they're indie rock
10/10 end of the discussion. Arcade Fire is one of the best bands ever
True
24pablox I think this song is so awesome because in a way we can all relate to it. In high school everything was so simple and fun. Now life comes at us with more responsibility and the loss of that innocence we had. We see life for what it really is as a young adult. We reminisce back to those times just like Kyle did.
un***** Kids fucking around with Guns the trucker thought they were a problem, called in Swat and then Martial Law, and then friend turns against friend. Fear does that.
24pablox indeed
lol look at this pleb
The imagery in this video hits differently right now.
remember to eat your vegetables 😉
Everyday, more and more....
It's just STARTED hitting you that way? My aunt lived on a cul de sac in Florissant, Missouri that looked just like the one in the video. If you don't know where Florissant is, it is right next to Ferguson, where my dad was the pastor of a black church for a while, and WORLDS apart. This video has been hard for me to watch ever since Michael Brown died.
they knew it was coming...
I like the suburbs. Anyone ever try living on a farm? Anyone ever try living without groceries, cars, wi-fi, cellular service, medical attention, police, friends, fast-food, air conditioning, electricity, plumbing, civilization, the assumption that the next person you meet is not going to murder you in cold blood?
What really shock me is the way the sound is progressing and suddenly what started being a "joyful" song becomes a deeply overwhelming and universal story about life itself. Well, at least It is what makes me feel.
Ray Betancourt Álvarez Just like the story the music video tells!
it's the same thing i feel about "Afterlife", from Reflektor. it starts off as a happy song but by the end i'm nearly crying
That’s nearly every arcade fire song
I agree. It makes you feel...
everyone here being nostalgic about the good old times but where are my fellow people with shitty childhoods/teenage years
My only nostalgic feeling is the feeling of wanting to go back and change it...
Mine was shitty but listening to arcade with my friends, sneaking out, was an escape
That's technological soma for ya mate, going full Audlous Huxley
this was both a very good and a very bad time. i was in my first year of being clean from 3 year heiron addiction , squatting with my mother and my siblings in a shell of a house. we gained neighbors as family , we grew gardens of food , smoked hella weed, cooked out , laughed , cried , went to jail , bailed folk outta jail, played cards , made holiday dinners.... endless good shit came out of what , at the time , we could not have forseen were the absolute best times of our lives.
Here bro
This video still makes me feel things.
=/
I feel things too, but not good things
+Jay Antonio try being born as the 70's began! Decaying buildings made when you were born kinda says you are old. Great song, and yes I am getting old. lol
+Jay Antonio The innocence of younger years and the time you realize how adults complicate theirs and your life....The video is amazing and you described it very well.
in me, good things, that cannot come back, and even were right, but just happened
Me too
This is an absolute masterpiece.
True
watch scenes from the suburbs, its the short film all the scenes of this are from, its a short film inspired by the album, if u like this i would definitely check it out.
Holy shit this cleared up so much XD I was scanning the comments section hoping for an explanation of the overarching story. Excited to watch the film :D
7 years since I've heard it for the first time. I still can hear this with the same pleasure, with or without wine or whatever.....
true...realy true
ITS BEEN FIVE YEARS??????
+cielo Woah... that was a kick in the head. I remember watching this video play for the first time on MTV - does not feel like 5 years ago.
+cielo 4 for me :P
+Marinar4Sauce when I first listened to it I was 7 and it seems like ages ago but it's good to go back to these hits
+cielo I still love the morbid realism this video has with all its depth and double meaning. I love the innocence and freedom of the kids. I love the cinematography of it as well. It's honestly, one of the most beautifully filmed music videos with such a profound story to it and the song is perfect. This should literally be an independent film. If you or anyone knows films similar to this, please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it;) Five years. Wow!
+My Names Reed When you get to my age (54) 5 years will seem like nothing; time gets faster and faster.
O ano era 2010 , acordava cedo 6:15 pra me arrumar e ir pra escola.. liguei a TV na MTV e estava passando uns clipes, de repente toca essa música, esperei acabar pra aparecer o nome para eu anotar..
aqui estou eu , 11 anos dps , e ainda escuto como se fosse a primeira vez , um sentimento de nostalgia com algo inexplicável ❤
Faz anos que encontrei essa música...
Por mais que eu volte para ouvir, ela não me traz bons sentimentos...
Ela me traz sentimentos de tristeza...
Carvalho somos 2 conheci na mesma forma
Cara essa época eu conheci várias bandas índies q ouço até hj e essa música nunca saiu da minha cabeça
Também conheci na MTV e também era 2010. Lembro que passava alguns programas com Chuck Hipolito, Gaia e China tarde da noite e eu acompanhava porque era certeza que ia passar essa música. Nostalgia pura.
Foi assim que conheci bandas Indies fodaa
