Arcade Fire - In The Attic

[@a-jjjjjjj]

there's also cars and telephones, accidents, sonata, cold wind, and burning bridges/breaking hearts.

[@hanabi897]

all those songs are my favorites even Winter for a year, those songs are nostalgic

[@gielmc]

I kind of miss this softer Arcade Fire

[@rimskykorsicoff]

They are evolving constantly , they were amazebags then and are totally awesome now, never ever have I felt so connected to a band their music, their lyrics their energy thanks to the whole band

[@hahaitsstacey]

Reporting from 4 years from when this was written that it’s still true. 😛

[@Brutananadlewski]

This through suburbs is the best of arcade fire

[@sarirkamalabadi3447]

I ran in here In the attic, in the middle of a tornado I watch the wind tear the orchard Tree by tree, lay them gently down again Cities that used to shine like El Dorado Now it's sleeping like a Shadow And I can't wake it up again Stars above you used to shine in roads Now nothing knows quite where it goes And I can't get to sleep again I lay in here In the attic, in the wind of a tornado I watch the wind tear the walls in And all the animals, never feel so low again Cities that used to shine like El Dorado Now it's sleeping like a Shadow And I can't wake it up again Stars above you used to shine in roads Now nothing knows quite where it goes And I can't get to sleep again Stars above you used to shine on cue Now they're acting a bit confused And I can't make them shine again

This is my favourite Arcade Fire song... actually it might be my favourite song period... it almost seems like it was written just for me

[@countgent]

there is a lot of songs here i cannot find on any of their albums ! again a great surprise for a before going to bed moment, thank you

[@cesarzamudio3662]

Amor y perseverancia...

[@realfuck109]

It's the very first time I hear Arcade Fire!!! And Damn, what a shame they've been in the attic for so long until now!!

[@lockeforeer]

He was younger and had a slightly different singing style, but it's definitely him. I do miss this, I wish all their songs weren't so HUGE, where he practically has to shout the song. I miss the gentleness of their first songs. Listen to Virgin Mary Highway, Winter for a Year and Maps if you're still unsure.

[@lobstring]

eu te amo e não é pouca coisa não meu querido

[@willswan7714]

Amazing

[@BirdOnMyTea]

love it!! is a great sound, and a little bit melancholic tone

[@guywhomighthaveaspergersne5723]

beautiful

[@Ryuhza]

@PucksGothicUmbrella Well, this demo was from before the Funeral (or even Arcade Fire LP) band lineup was established. Most of the members who played on this aren't even a part of the band any more. I'm not even sure if Regine was on-board at this point. There's someone who sings lead on 2(?) of the songs on the demo who founded Arcade Fire with Win but left a year or two later. That's also probably the reason they never play any of these songs live (or some rights issues... idk) I don't think they could do much to recapture this sound at this point. Plus Win says that they like to kind of reimagine the band from the ground up with each album, so I don't think they'd try to do it anyway.

[@5Cats]

@oXMistressLolaXo I totally agree! I cannot for the life of me understand why this wasn't a major 'hit'. I heard it on the CBC with the band being interviewed, sold me on them in 3 verses...

[@gabrielnaimmadrigalhernand7674]

Esto si es indie :"v

[@zachgre1]

I have an aunt did heroin, meth, and xanax. She is in a mental hospital right now. I now how you feel. Hope you better then 6 months from now. So for your loss. Peace

[@Sliceofcheesewithegg]

[@anninurminen6726]

Amazing!

[@ForeignNumber]

Regine on drums!

[@ihopeyoulikemymusicifnotim1306]

love it

[@impinna99]

Still can't find a song of theirs I don't care for.

[@bigcountryspoundcake4513]

A true Radiohead influence is when a sad song sounds Happy at the end the day thanks Win

[@Sliceofcheesewithegg]

good...good

[@Koshirozation]

[@apeman462]

whoa, heavy. good luck!

[@sharonmtvharrison]

I see why you like it. It's really good. I never heard a song they did that I did not like. I'm serious.

[@nighttimehuntress]

anymore tracks of their older songs let me know, im not keen on new stuff, I saw them two years ago in Glasgow and got albums, ie suburbs,neon bible, and funeral

[@jghotier167]

nighttimehuntress Headlights Look Like Diamonds. Put Your Money On Me. Burning Bridges. To name a few. If you like and want more I’d be happy to oblige. Cheers!

[@seanhopkins471]

Proof of Neil Young influence right here...

[@OliveiraGR198pp]

wow

[@ezrahurd6841]

That's a good songwriter for you.

[@HEADSHOTPROLOL]

Sounds a whole lot like In The Backseat, in my opinion.

[@jghotier167]

....we’re We Used To Wait :)

[@ShotOfMelancholy]

Wow, alright. I didn't think it was possible to dislike Arcade Fire, but you proved me wrong. Have fun listening to Nickelback.

[@RobertKing00]

@bruthaflo Have to disagree but Kudos on the hilarious comment!! Hahahaha

[@ConnBann98]

kicking heroin today bleh :( but i guess its time

[@bhx9fe2]

Conner Bannon hey friend, I hope it worked out.

[@Archivaldable]

Troubadour Group like the Bob Dylan.

[@michellexochicale2108]

[@tonyca6943]

This Arcade Fire is better than the hip-hop/ Caribbean influenced Arcade Fire of the last few years. But Win wants to be popular so bright outfits and face paint and other things that say "look at me" are apparently necessary.

[@michellexochicale2108]

I think the same :(

[@joelombardi9687]

Anthony Orduno it's all good sir

[@MarcosVinicius-mr8rt]

just no, man

[@notyouraverageinternetuser]

I think it's all amazing, they are one of those bands who can put out anything and have it be amazing

[@jghotier167]

tony ca I do respect that they are willing to change and experiment w/ their music from album to album. I do agree w/ you though, w/ the exception being The Suburbs album (that is their pinnacle album to this point). But damn is this song good. Cheers fellow AF fan!

[@butimnotafraidtodie9052]

it sounds like freelance whales.

[@eleanorscott9855]

That's exactly what I was thinking!
