I could write a 10 page thesis on this album and very possibly on this song alone. A song about growing up that literally "grows up" as you listen to it. Subtlety adding in and taking away instruments as the song carries on representing the people that come into and leave your life. The lyrics becoming more mature towards the end. The haunting vibes of the background chorus. Hands down my favorite album of all time.
This is the saddest song. It's sad in a way that is universal....a desire to grasp a moment of the past and live in it. I think of lost days of smple beauty and joy.
Jesus, can make these moments back, Joy and peace and beauty, all is in his hands, in heaven the best joy you felt here on earth will be nothing in compare to it.I personally just by reciting the rosary I regained my peace.
This is one of my favorite lyrics of all time. "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 all this damage is done"
So nostalgic. My parents used to play this all the time when I was a kid. Life was so good. They are divorced and my dad passed away last year. God this song just transports me back to my car seat driving through the Suburbs with mom and dad when life was so perfect.
Does anyone else get an eery, mysterious, and almost supernatural vibe from this album? I love it and I can't get enough. It captures the feeling of living in the suburbs so well while also giving it this almost other-worldly quality.
Couldn't have described it any better than myself. It feels like a fever dream of hormone fueled suburban adventures. Almost like those days were better than now despite the ongoing "suburban war".
Esta canción me inspiro a aprender inglés Antes me gustaba por el sentimiento misterio que mencionas Pero fui creciendo y entendiendo la letra Todavía recuerdo a ese adolescente que fui Triste y holgazán, curioso en mi ciudad azotada por la delincuencia
It is one of the best songs ever written. Not the best always and no matter what song I call my "favorite" this song will always be my favorite. It was an eye opener for me and it servers as a box of memories.
DoULilacIt2 I thought I was the only one who felt this way, I know what you mean...the somber lyrics and happy beat contrast eachother to create this strong feeling I've never felt before for me when I listen.
I was kind of underwhelmed at first, but over time I grew to love it. It has such subtle touches that make it great, like the beautiful background strings. The lyrics are incredibly meaningful and evoke strong emotions that I really can't explain. It reminds of me of growing up, but in a sad way.
I'm 40. I used to scream in my dreams now I just scream. This song silences the screaming for a while. Enjoy your youth, enjoy your life; it is short so very, very short.
@@ukaszw6623 firstly im not crying or lamenting, just outwardly noting second I'm a woman, third there's no need to be rude. Now shut your hole and let me and others enjoy the damn song because as I said time passes fast and life is short, too short to be wasting on the insults of Internet strangers.
this song almost chokes me up, it conjures up so much emotion of that time in 2010, I had just graduated highschool and was delivering pizzas around my local town for work. I was single, not much self esteem, but still had a whole lot of hope and positivity about the future. I look back now having graduated uni and working a 'professional' job how different is my life really. I have a great partner now but life is definitely not how I thought it would turn out. I've gone full circle and ended up back in the suburbs lol
One of the most melancholic songs ever created. A bittersweet melancholia for time past that's never coming back with a small kernel of hope for the future.
I listened to this on repeat when I found out my friend from college died last week. Somber melody that evokes a lot of emotions. Rest in peace Max Lapolla, one of the best men i ever knew.
This song is such an eerie and haunting yet an unexplainable satisfying song. Like would be at the end of a movie where the world is all happy but it’s slowly ripping apart and everyone is just unexpectedly horrified.
Yes. I describe the song as forced optimism. It is upbeat, but there's a darker undertone, like a person trying to remain optimistic when faced with less optimistic circumstances and thought.
This song is beautifully haunting. It has such a strange affect on me. Arcade fire, you are one of the best bands of this generation. I only wish I have found you sooner.
Essa musica me deixa muito triste. Eu lembro de quando eu saí de casa e fui morar sozinha em são paulo. Foi horrível ficar longe da minha família, sem amigos, são paulo é uma cidade tão difícil p quem tem um coração sensível como o meu. Ouvir essa música agora, 7 anos depois, me faz sentir a dor tudo de novo. Mas mesmo assim, é uma música bonita.
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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] In my dreams we're still screaming We're still screaming We're still screaming
this song makes me sad. as if the world is ending or something. maybe it's just the bitter reality of youth ending, I can't help but feeling like I'm wasting it while I still have it
Don't feel bad about wasting it. We all know that if we could have it back, all the time we wasted, we'd only waste it again... and again... and again...
ummm, gets me every time. Been listening to the song for a many years, and it always speaks to my heart in so many different ways. Now, wondering what is to come of our future....
I know what you mean, it takes me back to the days where kids owned the streets from the time school let out, to when dinner was ready. Days spent romping around the neighborhood without question or constant skepticism. Chasing ice cream trucks, and storming the world by bike. Damn, I miss those days.
THis is the kind of song that reminds you of all those things you forgot that you lost, and you stew in whats left of your soul as you realize you've become less.
Kanye West is actually a pehonomal musician when he wants to be. MBDTF has some of the best production on any hip-hop album...Ever. And conceptually, it was planned masterfully. Definitely check it out if you're even a slight hip-hop fan. Don't be thrown off just because it's Kanye West. I felt the same way about him too until I actually gave his music a shot. (Not his terrible collaborations with trap artists, but his actual albums. Specifically MBDTF and College Dropout.)
Do we ever really get past these feelings, I think not. Which is why this song is so haunting. That frozen moment in time, we wish we could go back to, or change the outcome there of.
A tune that will can never grow tired of, thats what makes a classic , you might go a while but when you listen again its like the firsrt time it hooked you
In February 2020 I did my first international solo trip to Colombia. I was sitting on the rooftop of my hostel in Medellin when this song came on. I was instantly hit with feelings. Indescribable feelings. That moment, sitting there in a new country, by myself, happy, was like a turning point in my life. Now when I hear this song, it brings me back to that sheer happiness that I felt in Colombia when I heard this song. This has to be one of my favorite songs ever in history.
This song does exactly what the title says. It feels so much like living in the suburbs. I lived in the suburbs for the first twelve years of my life, and in the same neighborhood for eleven of those years. I'll never forget it. When my family moved out to the country... I still cry about it.
This song makes me so sad. It makes me realize I'm 16 and these are the last few years of my true youth that I've got and one day I'll be looking back on everything and retelling stories of these times to my own children. I hope my stories will be good enough.
+Merci Baka I'm 19 and I understand that melancholy that we are leaving a good phase of our lives back is not a bad feeling or good, is a strange sense of transition ... but ... is life: D
The sound of this melody reminds me of the ephemeral nature of this very moment and every moment before it and every moment yet to pass. Tragically beautiful...
I got a daughter while I'm still yonge! (35) after 10 years of estrangement her mother got in touch with me and now I have this chance to show her the beauty. and this song made me appreciate that fact before we got in touch so now I am hyperaware of it. Thanks AF your words know more than they mean
i was born in 1997 and this song makes me feel like i'm too old to reach my fantasies, my dreams, my goals. But... you know what? there's still some hope. I try to find the positive side of this and the song in a very subtle way says "your youth was cool, now make your adulthood way cooler, you don't know what's awaiting for you"
I was 18 in 2010 and now at 24 I wake up with this song in my head this morning like 'fudge, where did the time go and what the hell have I been doing?'
This song comforted me while my parents where fighting in the other room. I would just stare at the ceiling, and turn up the volume while crying. I still like this song because it was there for me when I was little it reminds me of my past. 🌌
This song was great when I first heard it years ago. Now? I I can’t listen to it and not cry, I think about my former step kids and how much they’ve grown, I first met them when they were 4 and 5. Now they are teens and living they’re lives. I miss them so much
I relate so much, it’s okay to cry. I moved to the suburbs when I was 9 and everything changed. Pleasanton (California Bay Area) but Something in the Water.
I love the timeless production on this album. Most music of today is extremely polished and clean, which can be a bad thing sometimes, but this sounds like it could have been recorded in the 70s!
+darkangel13915 I'm also turning 20 in May, and I'm extremely sad about it. This song always hits hard for me, especially "in my dreams we're still screaming"...
Back in 2010 when I first heard this song I was thinking how happy and entertaining this song is. Now, six years later I'm on the very edge of crying. Fuck time man, it flows way too fast.
+EC;-MK-01 I couldn't agree more man. This song triggers a lot of good times in my past, which sounds like a good thing, but really I'm sad because they were such good times that I'll never experience again. #Nostalgia #MakeMoreGoodTimesBeforeLifeEnds lol
I'm sorry that you're experiencing vision problems, but if you read what's in the brackets it tells you what secondary school is and that's probably because you live in America and 95% of Americans are not very educated when it comes to other countries. I'm not saying they have to learn about other countries, but I'm saying that they are only 5% of the world and they don't know much about other countries.
This album is turning 10 tomorrow! I used to move out a lot as a child, so this album is awakening very personal feels. To me the pacing and the themes between the songs are super harmonious, and this album is really soothing in full.
For many of us, this was the album of our generation. The modes and intergenerational span of music on this album was powerful enough to move our consciousness to a better medium. I am forever thankful for this album.
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 wanna 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 [Best Part] So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I'm still young I wanna hold her hand 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
“Can you understand, I want a daughter while I still young, wanna hold her hands show her some beauty before all this damage is done” Man that lyric speaks to my soul
I was fourteen years old the first time I ears this in my uncle's car on a hot summer day. You think you've got a while but it flies. I'm only realising this for myself now and I am nineteen. Still feels like yesterday that I heard it in the summer heat, and this is the moment I really understood this song as a feeling and not just lyrical analaysis.
Revisiting this album as the decade comes to a close to enjoy the best concept album of the last 10 years. A truly great crossover of indie and mainstream appeal
I was born in the 70s, and this song touches on so many levels, I wanted a daughter and yesss alllllll the walls all the houses 🏡 they fell everywhere everything changed but in my mind we still screaming running playing our young lives were so lit, and I ran to live in the grass with the nature to the island 🌴 cause I’m moving past all of it away from the city my new life, omg this song nails it - life,,, in my dreams we are still screaming,, chills ⚡️⚡️💛
My family moved to the suburbs from a more rural area during the summer portion of the covid-19 pandemic. It was so surreal to leave my childhood during what felt like the end of the world. This song feels so close to the disjointed reality I was processing.
I want my brothers back. I want to go back to when we was children and innocent. Before the miserable pain, the frustrating confusion and betrayal. I wanted them back even then. Before the fugitive that eventually birthed apathy. Before the death and grief, griefing pain and lost that I can't seem to overcome. I just want my brothers back.
It's speeding up isn't it lol. Everybody is aware of this lately. I have my theories but this song and album really grabs the angst and uncertainty of our youth and tells a story gift wrapped that we all can sympathize. Brilliant man I just dunno
Sean Thompson, he is a brilliant lyricist, but as far as time goes, it is still, will always be, relatively constant as per our point of view here on Earth.
Absolute classic!! Its been years since I've listened to them and I decided to listen to them again. Let me tell you it was a pleasant, enjoyable, nostalgic feeling.
This is a beautiful song. It makes me sad because I grew up in the suburbs, and those were the happiest, peaceful, and fearless times of my life. Those days are long gone, and they will never return. 😔
I could write a 10 page thesis on this album and very possibly on this song alone. A song about growing up that literally "grows up" as you listen to it. Subtlety adding in and taking away instruments as the song carries on representing the people that come into and leave your life. The lyrics becoming more mature towards the end. The haunting vibes of the background chorus.
Hands down my favorite album of all time.
That's a pretty good analysis
❤️
Well written. Thank you
God. This metaphoric reflection is as stunning. Thankyou
Hands Down

This is the saddest song. It's sad in a way that is universal....a desire to grasp a moment of the past and live in it. I think of lost days of smple beauty and joy.
Perfectly stated.
Yes, the saddest song. Anyone can find its own sadness.
The song and the entire album is absolutely drenched in the bittersweet drug that is nostalgia.
Jesus, can make these moments back, Joy and peace and beauty, all is in his hands, in heaven the best joy you felt here on earth will be nothing in compare to it.I personally just by reciting the rosary I regained my peace.
Childhood
This is one of my favorite lyrics of all time. "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 all this damage is done"
Same, it makes me tear up.
I feel u. It’s beyond awesome.
This hits me in a very raw area. I almost had a daughter. Some things are just not meant to be but man do thoughts just kick your butt sometimes
I wanna havea daughter right now at 42 so i really get that
My son was born to this song.
So nostalgic. My parents used to play this all the time when I was a kid. Life was so good. They are divorced and my dad passed away last year. God this song just transports me back to my car seat driving through the Suburbs with mom and dad when life was so perfect.
So sorry for your loss,….
:(
Hold on to the memory
❤
Your *parents used to play it when you were a kid*? JFC, I'm old. lol
Does anyone else get an eery, mysterious, and almost supernatural vibe from this album? I love it and I can't get enough. It captures the feeling of living in the suburbs so well while also giving it this almost other-worldly quality.
Couldn't have described it any better than myself. It feels like a fever dream of hormone fueled suburban adventures. Almost like those days were better than now despite the ongoing "suburban war".
Not just me then. ❤️
Well said! I feel like I can remember this song from in a past life or something
Even when I heard it on its release. I felt there was something ethereal about it....This song and the song that follows after in the album...
Esta canción me inspiro a aprender inglés
Antes me gustaba por el sentimiento misterio que mencionas
Pero fui creciendo y entendiendo la letra
Todavía recuerdo a ese adolescente que fui
Triste y holgazán, curioso en mi ciudad azotada por la delincuencia
One of the best written songs ever! I don't just hear it, I'm transported! Anyone else?
It is one of the best songs ever written. Not the best always and no matter what song I call my "favorite" this song will always be my favorite. It was an eye opener for me and it servers as a box of memories.
DoULilacIt2 I thought I was the only one who felt this way, I know what you mean...the somber lyrics and happy beat contrast eachother to create this strong feeling I've never felt before for me when I listen.

Somehow, this song makes me fantasie memories of things i'll never live.

I'm 40. I used to scream in my dreams now I just scream. This song silences the screaming for a while. Enjoy your youth, enjoy your life; it is short so very, very short.
I’m wasting my youth on purpose

Suburbia is horrid.
lol
how do you feel?
i like how it starts all jangly, happy, and upbeat, then slowly morphs into the saddest fucking song ever
Just like life itself. From childhood to the worst of adulthood. I mean, the video clip basically shows it.
One of the most melancholic songs ever created.
A bittersweet melancholia for time past that's never coming back with a small kernel of hope for the future.
Haven’t heard it in a long time and I’m crying
I listened to this on repeat when I found out my friend from college died last week. Somber melody that evokes a lot of emotions. Rest in peace Max Lapolla, one of the best men i ever knew.
6 years later and this song still gives me goosebumps! love it.
Fuck... its been 6 years.
+AG actually has been 7 years ..
dosent seem possible...
I'm gonna give this comment a "Yaaaasss!".
Me to every time
This song will still sound good 20, 30 years from now
This song is such an eerie and haunting yet an unexplainable satisfying song. Like would be at the end of a movie where the world is all happy but it’s slowly ripping apart and everyone is just unexpectedly horrified.
Your comment perfectly sums up my feelings towards this song. Thank you. Perfect, every word.
@@Sporadicifre Glad we think alike :)
Yes. I describe the song as forced optimism. It is upbeat, but there's a darker undertone, like a person trying to remain optimistic when faced with less optimistic circumstances and thought.
It's like the beginning of Blue Velvet
Just _love_ how that piano playing, while the same through the song, somehow turns forboding, almost sinister, after "under the overpass."
This song is beautifully haunting. It has such a strange affect on me. Arcade fire, you are one of the best bands of this generation. I only wish I have found you sooner.

Foi horrível ficar longe da minha família, sem amigos, são paulo é uma cidade tão difícil p quem tem um coração sensível como o meu. Ouvir essa música agora, 7 anos depois, me faz sentir a dor tudo de novo. Mas mesmo assim, é uma música bonita.
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
In my dreams we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming
"It meant nothing at all, it meant nothing."
looking back at everything that was good, the foundations of who we are.
this song makes me sad. as if the world is ending or something. maybe it's just the bitter reality of youth ending, I can't help but feeling like I'm wasting it while I still have it
+Laoindolack MT i couldn't agree more
+Laoindolack MT That is some quality insight ... When you 40 you will still feel the same way, just with more intensity.
+Laoindolack MT "That's the gift and the curse; that's the good and the bad"
+Laoindolack MT makes me sad too m8
Don't feel bad about wasting it. We all know that if we could have it back, all the time we wasted, we'd only waste it again... and again... and again...
God I love this song. I don't think I'm ever not in the mood to hear this song on my playlist. Captures this great nostalgic feeling and I love it!❤
I've came back to this song after years
It still makes me cry and I've finally realized how this song is absolute perfection
ummm, gets me every time. Been listening to the song for a many years, and it always speaks to my heart in so many different ways. Now, wondering what is to come of our future....
It's so hard to listen to this song.. I just get sad every time for some reason.
I guess it's the nostalgia.
Omg I too
I know what you mean, it takes me back to the days where kids owned the streets from the time school let out, to when dinner was ready. Days spent romping around the neighborhood without question or constant skepticism. Chasing ice cream trucks, and storming the world by bike. Damn, I miss those days.
Bo Willis Dammit, Bo.
Ethanride Made me cry at some point because of my life...
Yeah, I well up from time to time too.
THis is the kind of song that reminds you of all those things you forgot that you lost, and you stew in whats left of your soul as you realize you've become less.
Jesus christ that nails it so hard
This song is crippling anxiety. Love it.
I was 18 when this album came out and now I'm 28. I still think it's the most nostalgic album ever made.
28 here too. I can't believe I've only known about these guys for a couple years

This song will forever haunt my soul. This song is the epitome of clinging on to everything with all you got.
This song comforted me while my parents where fighting in the other room. I would just stare at the ceiling, and turn up the volume while crying. I still like this song because it was there for me when I was little it reminds me of my past. 🌌
Damn...that is sad. And oddly fitting.
❤️
Same. Suburban issues are hard some times.
💙💙💙 music can be so cathartic
@@Dom213 is this like a joke or sum
This song was great when I first heard it years ago. Now? I I can’t listen to it and not cry, I think about my former step kids and how much they’ve grown, I first met them when they were 4 and 5. Now they are teens and living they’re lives. I miss them so much
I relate so much, it’s okay to cry. I moved to the suburbs when I was 9 and everything changed. Pleasanton (California Bay Area) but Something in the Water.
I love the timeless production on this album. Most music of today is extremely polished and clean, which can be a bad thing sometimes, but this sounds like it could have been recorded in the 70s!
Still 2024!??????
@@charlienachname1978 Enjoy everyday,all the best!???
❤❤❤
Absolutely @@rodgallagher5566
Arcade Fire is slowly becoming my new favortie band. Love this song as well as many others by them.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that will miss being a teenager. I'm on my last year of being a teen :(
I turn 20 on May :(
+darkangel13915 this makes me very very sad
+Intuitive Wonder wtf? I never remember listening to this song. But I do feel very sad about it
+darkangel13915 Well re listen to it, it's a good song and it obviously made you feel something a month ago lmao
+darkangel13915 I'm also turning 20 in May, and I'm extremely sad about it. This song always hits hard for me, especially "in my dreams we're still screaming"...
This song is literally when you played Zombies and everyone is dead and the cutscene of the map plays before you get brought back to the lobby.
Back in 2010 when I first heard this song I was thinking how happy and entertaining this song is. Now, six years later I'm on the very edge of crying. Fuck time man, it flows way too fast.
+EC;-MK-01 damn right I'm 14! 6 more years!
+EC;-MK-01 I couldn't agree more man. This song triggers a lot of good times in my past, which sounds like a good thing, but really I'm sad because they were such good times that I'll never experience again. #Nostalgia #MakeMoreGoodTimesBeforeLifeEnds lol
fuck, so true.
This song never fails to give me goosebumps.
Such a nostalgic song, I remember I used to listen to this when I was bullied throughout most of secondary school (high school).
Jazzy J I'm there now lol
Cool.
Jazzy J fuck is secondary school, never heard it called that
I'm sorry that you're experiencing vision problems, but if you read what's in the brackets it tells you what secondary school is and that's probably because you live in America and 95% of Americans are not very educated when it comes to other countries.
I'm not saying they have to learn about other countries, but I'm saying that they are only 5% of the world and they don't know much about other countries.
XD well put Jazzy J
These comments are all so sublime,nostalgic, or just beautiful by itself. What a feeling
GodDAMN this is over ten years old and still sounds as fresh and relevant now as it did then. Full of Great Recession anthems that still work.
this is AF's best album, every song is amazing
the kind of music you dance to alone when frustrated. very therapeutic :)
This song still hits my soul.
I love how this song builds up adding more instruments as it moves along
I have pretty well all of their albums...love them all
Carl McNamara ya it starts out happy and then later in the song it sounds more sad
This song is so perfect for this gloomy and reflective day.
Best song ever.
This album is turning 10 tomorrow!
I used to move out a lot as a child, so this album is awakening very personal feels.
To me the pacing and the themes between the songs are super harmonious, and this album is really soothing in full.
Heard it on the radio and instantly had to look it up. Great tune!
this album is honestly the greatest masterpiece i have ever heard. i really love every song on it!
I've been hearing these guys late at night on the radio and had no idea what the band was until now. Thanks for posting. Good stuff!
i heard this when i was 13, it helped me out from what i was passing through... thanks arcade fire
For many of us, this was the album of our generation. The modes and intergenerational span of music on this album was powerful enough to move our consciousness to a better medium. I am forever thankful for this album.
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 wanna 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
[Best Part]
So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
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
This is the type of song you can listen to over 100 times and not get tired of it.
“Can you understand, I want a daughter while I still young, wanna hold her hands show her some beauty before all this damage is done” Man that lyric speaks to my soul
I'm fourteen, so I've still got a while before this becomes nostalgic.
I was fourteen years old the first time I ears this in my uncle's car on a hot summer day. You think you've got a while but it flies. I'm only realising this for myself now and I am nineteen. Still feels like yesterday that I heard it in the summer heat, and this is the moment I really understood this song as a feeling and not just lyrical analaysis.
I'm so terrified.
wait till your 24 like me :
Im 35 and its not joke those years to come for you will be the best... so dont wasted
Mike Mawi too late I'm so good at ruining everything
This is my first time over here. This song is heaven.
Revisiting this album as the decade comes to a close to enjoy the best concept album of the last 10 years. A truly great crossover of indie and mainstream appeal
I was born in the 70s, and this song touches on so many levels, I wanted a daughter and yesss alllllll the walls all the houses 🏡 they fell everywhere everything changed but in my mind we still screaming running playing our young lives were so lit, and I ran to live in the grass with the nature to the island 🌴 cause I’m moving past all of it away from the city my new life, omg this song nails it - life,,, in my dreams we are still screaming,, chills ⚡️⚡️💛
My family moved to the suburbs from a more rural area during the summer portion of the covid-19 pandemic. It was so surreal to leave my childhood during what felt like the end of the world. This song feels so close to the disjointed reality I was processing.
This song is absolutely sublime!
This song is everything
The lyrics in this album are just to relatable and it's joined by wonderful music… if that doesn’t make a great album i don't know what does
Walking in the Colorado Rockies with AF blasting in your headphones is such an otherworldly experience.
I want my brothers back. I want to go back to when we was children and innocent. Before the miserable pain, the frustrating confusion and betrayal. I wanted them back even then. Before the fugitive that eventually birthed apathy. Before the death and grief, griefing pain and lost that I can't seem to overcome. I just want my brothers back.
The nostalgia this gives me now as a 25 yr old young man 🥲 simple times
But fuck it, let's make the future Great🙏🏾
We're still screaming
This song somehow makes me nostalgic for a childhood I never had.
Time needs to slow down...
aesthetica if it did, then you would slow down with it.
It's speeding up isn't it lol. Everybody is aware of this lately. I have my theories but this song and album really grabs the angst and uncertainty of our youth and tells a story gift wrapped that we all can sympathize. Brilliant man I just dunno
Sean Thompson, he is a brilliant lyricist, but as far as time goes, it is still, will always be, relatively constant as per our point of view here on Earth.
why we are eternal
Yes please
I used to listen to this song with my family, it makes me so happy to listen to it again, reminds me of my childhood
daughters are not all soft, boys can appreciate beauty...
Absolute classic!! Its been years since I've listened to them and I decided to listen to them again. Let me tell you it was a pleasant, enjoyable, nostalgic feeling.
i love this song but it gives me so much anxiety i dont even know why
yesssss
i couldn't agree more
think
Probably the dark themes and lyrics of it :P
- anne a thought that creeps from your deep memories
this is my childhood
2022 y aún me emociona escuchar esta obra maestra.
This is a beautiful song. It makes me sad because I grew up in the suburbs, and those were the happiest, peaceful, and fearless times of my life. Those days are long gone, and they will never return. 😔
I absolutely love this song!
I always come back to this song everytime I feel empty and hopeless. Somehow it makes me feel alive.
this is the most remarkable song for my 16s, will i ever get over it?
Have you?
I love the vibe of this song so much. So melancholy it's perfect
Bout to become a teen and this song will make me savor my childhood so much more than I should.
A masterpiece by these young men. I was looking for more from them but I guess it wasn't to be. They were awesome! Great song!
Now than Im an adult, I not only feel this song, but I understand it.
You mean you see both sides now?
WHAT A GREAT SONG TO OPEN THE ALBUM. ITS LIKE THE BEST WAY TO SAY "WELCOME"
I aspire to be all the members of arcade fire. They are honestly so amazing.
