After listening to this song for the first time back in 2015, I immediately picked up a copy of Tracy Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains. I was mesmerized. By the time I finished reading, I had decided to translate the book into Greek. The story is so inspiring, I thought Greek kids and students should be able to read it in their native language. I am not a professional translator though, I am a maths teacher, so it took a while to find my way through. Yesterday, my translation "Βουνά πέρα απ' τα βουνά" was published! And it all started here, so I thought I should pay a little tribute to the greatness of good songwriting.

a while back i was at a comedy gig and before the gig started this song was playing on the PA. At the time I had no idea who it was. I instantly reached for my phone to shazam it only to be met by connection issues. I was left wondering for an eternity who it was. I hopelessly attempted to hum it to people but it was a lost cause. I Couldn't even recall a single lyric only segments of the beautiful melody. A few days ago my brother put it on and I could have cried with joy. its now one of my all time favourite songs.

They heard me singing and they told me to stop, Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock, These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose, But late at night the feelings swim to the surface. 'Cause on the suburbs the city lights shine, They're calling at me, 'come and find your kind.' Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, Then we can never get away from the sprawl, Living in the sprawl, Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, And there's no end in sight, I need the darkness someone please cut the lights. We rode our bikes to the nearest park, Sat under the swings, we kissed in the dark, We shield our eyes from the police lights, We run away, but we don't know why, And like a mirror these city lights shine, They're screaming at us, 'we don't need your kind' Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, Then we can never get away from the sprawl, Living in the sprawl, Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, And there's no end in sight, I need the darkness someone please cut the lights. They heard me singing and they told me to stop, Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock. Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, Can we ever get away from the sprawl? Living in the sprawl, Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, And there's no end in sight, I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.

I know Arcade Fire for some time. Already their first album i liked it and second album convinced me, that Arcade Fire are really good band...For some time i did not pay attention to them and until recently i have returned to their music. I played their third album The Suburbs. And I completely froze, obviously in a good sense... Without exaggeration, i was amazed, at how excellent album The Suburbs is! Each song is a fantasy, original. For me, is The Suburbs one of the most interesting albums, I've ever heard. And this song is absolutely stunning, it is my favorite of the entire album. Régine has a really beautiful voice, the song she clearly raised to higher realms, to perfection! Also, i think the movie is a success, i have no words...According to me, every time, when the band enters the stage, her performance is also a theatrical performance, that always impress. I know, that Canada and the US have many musical giants and great cult bands, and i regard Arcade Fire to the best bands in the world... Sorry for my terrible English... :-)

I think this song and video may be my favorite on earth. I've probably watched it 100 times. The first time I really digested the lyrics, I was in the process of moving from a small town to a city, and being a gay male musician, I thought that moving to a city would be like a safe haven. The lyrics "they're calling at us, come and find your kind" are later conflicted by "we don't need your kind!" is such a masterful line, stating that prejudice is everywhere. It's a strong reminder that we're not alone in our struggle for acceptance. Thanks for making this beautiful piece of work.

I live in rural Ireland commuting to the Big Schmoke (Dublin) every day and I hate seeing how it's sprawling out to rural areas, eating up the land and no-one knowing their neighbours, whereas the area I grew up in was a community sort of place where we looked out for our own.

See them in concert you will be amazed. It's like a party with thousands of people. Nobody just stands there, eveybody sings/dances.

People that say that probably grew up to great artists like the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon , Fleetwood Mac, and Van Morrison among many others great artists that perfected their craft and the few record companies looked for talent with elite songwriting and great lyricists...the combination of a less saturated music scene, record companies valuing substance and real talent, and artists in general growing up with music aimed at an older age group for the first time targeting a younger audience.. resulting in smart beautiful music with an intelligent meaning and rebellious and catchy at the same time dominating record charts so the entire country was exposed to this great music...of course we know this still exists but you have to work to find it which makes the art more rewarding when you discover a song like this....granted this is one of the few bands in the last 20 years that achieved commercial success without sacrificing my opinion of quality....a few that check these boxes and essentially restored my faith in humanity are Radiohead, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Vampire Weekend, Future Islands, The White Stripes, The National and Cold War Kids

*♡☆TRADUCCIÓN☆♡* Estos días siento que mi vida no tiene propósito Pero a altas horas de la noche los sentimientos salen a la superficie Porque en la superficie las luces de la ciudad brillan Me están llamando, "ven y encuentra a los tuyos" A veces me pregunto si el mundo es tan pequeño Que nunca podemos escapar del barrio Viviendo en el barrio de las afueras Supermercados muertos se alzan Como montañas más allá de montañas Y no hay un final a la vista Necesito la oscuridad por favor que alguien apague las luces Conducimos nuestras bicis al parque más cercano Nos sentamos bajo los columpios, nos besamos a oscuras Nos protegemos los ojos de las luces de la policía Salimos corriendo, pero no sabemos por qué Y como un espejo las luces de esta ciudad brillan Nos están gritando "no necesitamos a la gente como vosotros" A veces me pregunto si el mundo es tan pequeño Que nunca podemos escapar del barrio Viviendo en el barrio de las afueras Supermercados muertos se alzan Como montañas más allá de montañas Y no hay un final a la vista Necesito la oscuridad por favor que alguien apague las luces Me oyeron cantar y me dijeron que parara Deja todas esas cosas pretenciosas y pega un puñetazo al reloj A veces me pregunto si el mundo es tan pequeño Que nunca podemos escapar del barrio Viviendo en el barrio de las afueras Supermercados muertos se alzan Como montañas más allá de montañas Y no hay un final a la vista Necesito la oscuridad por favor que alguien apague las luces Necesito la oscuridad por favor que alguien apague las luces

This has always been one of my favorites. I saw them live in Chicago at Lollapalooza 2010. What a treat. They always play their hearts out.

Entiendo que las letras juegan un papel importante en la música, la letra no me parece mal, pero si me dejan compartir algo, una vez la escuche con tanta delicadeza y un tanto de sentimiento que llore con tan solo oír la musica. Es estupenda en verdad, la musica es realmente estupenda.

Arcade Fire for me are one of, if not the most brilliant band of the last 20 years. I love this song so much and reminds me of being in Buenos Aires watching the sunset over the massive city.
