Shes pure magic. No wonder Win was smitten with her when they first met. If you watch both of the older documentaries obviously not the reflektor tapes but that ones good too cos i love that album..one of the best shows ive been to was during that t😮our and saw them last November for the outstanding masterpiece WE..they also played cold wind (super old song off their first ep i think) and i was hoping they would play HALF LIGHT II and they did...since both songs mention san francisco and thats where the show was) you get a tiny glimpse into that time. Especially There isnt an instrument she cant play! She plays drums pretty much everytime/anytime they play someting off neon bible and some songs on funeral like Neighbor 1 tunnels (jeremy switches to guitar i believe). I wish they used more of her playing accordion on their songs cos im pretty sure Neighborhood 2 laika is the only one with accordion unless im having a major brain fart and forgetting another.
Kevin i think it's footage from a "take away show" (a french show where artists are invited to perform live in unusual places). They played in an elevator, neon bible if my memory's correct, right before a gig in Paris, entering the stage by walking through the crowd and playing wake up as opening song.
Geoffrey Pelletier you might be right but some of this footage was used in mirror noir so I’m assuming they recorded it for part of that and didn’t use it because it wasn’t on the album. Maybe it was featured on the limited edition or as a bonus. I’m not completely sure
My favourite Arcade Fire piece. This early version of Half Light I. So beautiful.
So wish they would do this song live at a concert..
finally have now, check out on youtube :)
Your wish was granted. Love you
I love this song. Beautifully arrangement. I echo the previous comment about playing it live. It's a shame it's not on their set list.
It was finally on the suburbs! Theres only one live recording of it you can find if you serach half light i
Una reliquia de video, esta cancion me trae mucha nostalgia.
"Oh, quelle merde..."

Where the f*** did she find a hurdy-gurdy? I'm a trained musician and have only ever read about them in textbooks. Genius.

you haven't looked hard enough, take yourself down to a french music festival, or contact a hurdy gurdy builder.
