the suburbs - arcade fire (slowed + reverb)

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
That 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

Damn, that was good Both sad and beautiful

[@borderlinex]

also sad and happy i'd say, something only arcade fire can do

[@dixieflatline7290]

like remembering your carefree childhood years while rummaging in boxes full of your old toys or something like this. Actually, i think such content may summon many different feelings from feeling yourself high to depression. Damn, slowed reverb is good stuff, should check this out more properly. Well, my favourite one for this moment is west coast - lana del rey

@@dixieflatline7290 it's been a while since i don't remember my childhood while listening to a song, maybe it is because my childhood wasn't really good, i was too lonely, and it feels like my brain erased big part of it, but i do understand what you're saying and i think it's so beautiful this song does this to you, as for me, i like to smoke my cigarette and listen to it because it makes me feel very calm, and make me feel in peace about my future somehow...

@@dixieflatline7290 i know there is probably millions of versions of west coast slowed + reverb but you just gave me a good idea bc i love this song too

[@dixieflatline7290]

@@borderlinex well, we don't have a time machine but as for me music is one of the best ways to travel to the past. this effect would be more noticeable if i could choose the music i want while i was young or if i had some already formed taste of music. But as a kid i just listened to my mother's playlist while driving somewhere. But if we talk about my dad, we never spoke about his music taste, i think he just doesn't feel such high emotions. Just like my friend, she says, that it's not necessary for her to listen to anything and she can't name any of her favourite bands/groups/musicians
