WAKE UP - THE ARCADE FIRE - GLASTONBURY 2007

[@TheVenusBushfires]

I was standing on the stage on the right of them. This moment changed my life forever. When they started the sun was getting ready to fade and by this song we were all transformed. Thousands of people just looking at each other and feeling like we were all in it together. One of the best moments I've experienced. Thank you

[@dougim]

TheVenusBushfires How did you manage to survive without your heart exploding with emotion? Hell, I can barely watch it on video and make it through. By the end I want to have Sarah Neufeld’s babies.

[@Pepsicute1]

Arcade Fire is by far the greatest band of my generation. I'm only 16 and i already know that there aren't any bands in my life that will compare to them. I'm sick and tired of people listening to the radio and thinking they are listening to music. That music isn't real music. Arcade Fire is real music.

[@haraggan]

Good band, but they could use a few more members.

[@FilipaMarques1]

I can't stop listening this song, Help me!!!!!!!!!!!

[@eava69]

From Costa Rica....this performance was amazing, I love this song!!!

[@MrVisione67]

sono estasiato dalla passione che trasudano questi fantastici ARCADE FIRE............................GRAZIE

[@GraditudevsRevenge]

I think if I saw this song live, I would have tears of raw emotion flowing down my face because this song has a powerful punch lyrically, musically, and emotionally right to the mind, gut and heart with one blow.

[@Eric7364]

I went to church until I was 18. Seeing them preform this live was the greatest religious experience of my life.

[@amazingsierra]

It's amazing, the ammount of power they put into that chorus. Gives me chills every time.

[@TheBuffster84]

listening to this gives me goose bumps every time...one of the best live performances ever! régine's just gorgeous!

[@Browncoat1138]

I never get tired of hearing this song... It's so powerful... The whole thing simply soars. so much talent in one group... this, i believe, is what they call an eargasm.

[@pastrocks85]

I was them last night... They are the best... I can't even begin to describe how they make you feel! If your able to attend please do so...

[@thewrathofbombast]

I wonder how it feels to be able to make such sublime music. It probably feels like scoring a goal on a world cup. We can barely understand their joy!

[@JohnnyDamon18]

I probably watched this video a hundred times. I still get goosebumps. This song is unreal, an anthem and food for your soul. Time to get The Suburbs now!

[@Humbug1100]

Such a good band...they clearly love performing, and are really in their element & at their best when playing live. I MUST get to one of their shows sometime soon - and I haven't thought that about a band in a long while!

[@SL04]

This is probably the best live performance I've ever seen. The band, the crowd, the music, just absolutely stunning.

[@wildirishrose01]

Watching them is like watching organized chaos. Love them. This song makes me cry.

[@madonegin]

wow what a glorious sound.....gave me goose bumps..go for it Arcade Fire....your stunning.

[@BattleshipGrafSpee]

C'est incroyable de voir comment la fraîcheur et l'énergie d'un groupe comme Arcade Fire peut soulever l'émotion de toute une foule ! Bravo !

[@LammasDeluge]

Wow! They really put all their energy and heart into these songs. This song really moves me.

[@GreatGarloo]

whoa..... usually a song like this loses something when it's performed live but this...this is so strong. so powerful. i feel like i'm on the verge of tears from pure joy.

[@ytcarol]

Very few groups are comprised of so many individuals, and just the impact of them all combining their energy and voices is really powerful. Does anyone else get a chill when all those voices come in at the beginning?

[@twigagawizard]

Beautiful.

[@DrunkenJediFilms]

This performance really takes the cake. You start off with an awesome song and you add an active, meaningful performance.

[@jessicasuxxx]

something about this video makes me cry without fail. the amount of people there, every single one of them soaking up the emotion and energy in this song and the way arcade fire presents it. i would do anything to have been there at that moment.

[@oafcmod]

this song is so special and when your at glasto and you hear this it just blows your mind, to fantastic vibes connecting as one

[@semkhayi2611]

True. The Best Band Ever. I Love You Guys. Especially Régine Chassagne. You're An Inspiration.

[@pwnerinator]

You know a song is amazing when thousands of people in an audience know the chorus and SCREAM it to the heavens!

[@Defectoboy]

This is a very moving song. The variety of instruments the band uses is very wonderful as well.

[@Psopyxsus]

Look at the energy of every one of their band members, you can tell they absolutely feel it and love what they do.

[@amazingsierra]

One thing that I really love about them is how they understand life so well. Every song of theirs is so true, in a way that everyone can relate to it or understand it if they listen closely enough.

[@patriziamusic]

goosebumps, goosebumps and more of them..this is music in all its glory...it doesn't get better than this! Best band in the world!

[@SgtTwinkleToes]

Seeing the standards of music these days, it really lifts my spirits to listen to songs like these

[@totsuo831]

this is the second masterpiece ive ever heard, it's so incredible, this is why i love music when something like this comes along and shakes you, its almost magic

[@komakinolindisfarne2068]

More than a song

[@Rich2969]

No matter how many times I hear this song it makes me feel glad to be alive.

[@BEARDEDGOAT]

When people say ''music today sucks'' there mainly talking about the mainstream currently that's dominated by rap, techno and pop music. The music industry is in the middle at the moment good alternative and indie bands are more likely to be exposed because of the internet which is wonderful. But in saying that the major labels are still pumping out garbage and generic music so its a matter of which way you look at it.

[@avastyelandlubber]

So beautiful. Seeing them for the first time in six weeks, at Bonnaroo... I can't wait!

[@andrew20781]

Last song i heard in the pub before i left australia with the people i had met over there. I nearly shed a tear singing this! Nearly.

[@larondef]

I'm almost 40 and it's the first time I love a band that much.

[@mrfreeze9000]

this song is just... amazing. my favourite song by far. i soooo want to see them live.

[@ToluwanimiObiwole]

there aren't too many bands that you can say "wow the live performance not only lives up to the album, but is even better" arcade fire never ceases to amaze me

[@punkillo]

The most magic day in my life was on 2007 the 7th of July when I watched their show in Madrid. Memories that I will never forget.

[@jimeerey]

I agree. Amazing song. See the live version gives me the chills.

[@NoirTheMordant]

this is one of the most beautiful songs in the history of music, ever.

[@TomArayafied]

Don't know what it is, about this song, that makes me love it so much. The French Horn, the Trumpet....the frakkin' accordian. The blonde on viola..The chant at the beginning. So many elements to the song. The blonde on viola.. What a "I"m gonna go out a get the CD" song.

[@ledgeja05]

still my favourite performance of Wake Up. Gives me goosebumps and a lump in my throat every time!

[@deactivated-78936]

One of the most beautiful and powerful songs ever written.

[@Care4URchameleon]

havn't listened to this in a while, must say, still one of the best songs ever!

[@seriouscatisserious]

Unreal. There is nobody out there that plays like this troupe. Gorgeous.

[@xrawrbiexrotten]

I cryed when I saw all the flags and to see unity and love and anger and sadness and joy really is something very few bands can do. Best song ever. AF gives me hope

[@darkwiam]

I love, how every time they play this live. They can produce the same harmonies.. Brilliant.

[@Borna909]

I think now its time to end up listening to music for today - you can´t get better than that. Tomorrow is another day. What a mood!

[@e1m2p1]

no maaammm la piel de gallina ... soooo amaizing hear and feel a band with this energy thanksssss for share...

[@Admoth]

This is Epic! After seeing them live, music was never the same again for me...

[@lunaticrose13]

i love this song, fist heard it on the where the wild things are trailer and now im hooked, its soo beautiful! this band is so great

[@DFTEguitarist]

this song makes my heart explode. it makes me want to climb mountains and howl. best song in existance.

[@toughbail456]

I don't usually like live performances from some of my favorite bands, but THIS...Phew. That was awesome.

[@randomimpulser]

saw them at leeds fest and just had to cry at this song. a mix between alcohol and one of the top 10 songs ive ever heard.

[@aphillathehun]

Never listened to them until I heard this song. Moved me to tears.

[@MatriX606023]

i listen this song 1000 times, but i watch this video 2000 times. i would give everythinh for DeLorean, so i could go in to the past to watch them. THEY ARE GOODS.

[@93z]

perfect band.

[@gmanotto1]

Chills.

[@ganuenen]

wow, arcade fire is so unique and just makes bone chilling music!!! god u guys n gals rock, keep on rocking!!!!!!!

[@matt14444]

Absolutely beautiful I cannot wait for their new album in the spring and hopefully they will make an appearance at Bonnaroo this show and all their other shows are stunning

[@wwleslie]

Something very primal about this song . . . strikes an inner chord to the soul.

[@JohnDCoffey]

The shot of Tim singing at 0:46 gives me chills every time.

[@gofigur123]

great band to see in concert..this song blows things up...amazing

[@lightlyone]

Love the horns at the beginning and the wall of sound!

[@deepunkful]

havent a word or words to descibe how much i....WOW...brilliant!

[@TheSuperninja187]

i want this song to be played at my funeral.

[@MegaJambo22]

Saw them at Edinburgh Castle last night and they were fantastic.They played for around two hours, but it went so fast and it was over to soon. I could've watched them all night.

[@lizikakizil]

The mote absolute, best live performance I've ever seen in my entire life. YEAH.

[@lyndy2010]

Brilliant at Reading and now I'm seeing them in Cardiff in December. The Beach Boys, The Beatles and now Arcade Fire. They put the music into music

[@jltaco85]

"Where the wild thing are" brought me here. And honestly I'm loving this genre, I'm gonna get their album asap

[@xQuineur]

I love this song, and their energy when they sing it

[@Durandal1707]

Wow, you can really see the energy and quality of their live performance and how it improved drastically from '05. Really jamming :)

[@LatinoExperience33]

I saw them last night and Win said the exact same thing "thank you and take care of each other" haha. Anyway they're amazing and I'll never forget singing this at the top of my lungs with 30 000 other fans!

[@Juinor]

One of the only rock and metal song that i love listen to and I do love the cry..it so cool.

[@stereotipovi]

I saw them three times.... shit, i still don't want to die... i need more :)

[@realfinleymars]

this song is such an anthem.. it moves hearts

[@Innersea]

i just saw them at BDO, and they opened with this, it was simply amazing, I'd travel overseas to see them again

[@cemagigi]

I'm 16, from Spain, and one of my dreams is go to glastonbury. I love it.

[@FinianJude]

My gosh I've never been so moved by such a performance!

[@Thedevilstoenail]

[@Marieflorre]

Thank"s for your passion Arcade Fire!

[@jeremyput]

This track is so beautiful.Awesomeness.

[@zingara76]

I WAS THERE!!! AMAZING.......... still gives me the childs

[@Oldtricksmadenew]

all of you why do you cry? REJOICE you are alive and its the small moments that make you feel something so strongly that remind you that its such a wonderful life pain, love, anger, sorrow, birth, and death they are all things we will know and its almost a crime to not reveille in these sensations embrace your life and live it loud and with pride cuz when this moment is gone all we have left are the last ringing echos of memory make them count

[@hansela8]

after a long day i lit up a joint and watched this. i broke down into tears. beautiful.

[@untuned92]

This is a popular music festival in england known as glastonbury, and everybody around the country comes to visit, so they all bring flags and signs to show their presence or represent their area or whoever they may be rooting for. :D

[@ludmilamorinigo9833]

Estremece, no hay palabras para definir las sensaciones que conviven en mi al escucharlos. Sublime, solo ruego no morir sin verlos en vivo. Argentina por favor!!

[@dstar3484]

There is a reason that they(arcade fire) are the creatives, and we are the critics. They have the talent!! I only pray that they and other brilliant musicians of the like - the yyys come to mind - continue to make amazing music for us to enjoy.

[@debiedog1]

Please come and play in Australia - we love great music and Canadians!!!!!!

[@cougher989]

indeed. when i first heard this song, that was the part that got me instantly hooked.

[@wildarmschild]

I kept getting goosebumps throughout this whole video.. Truly amazing and beautiful song. Same thing goes for the band that performs it..

[@swingingmychain]

aaaaaahhhhhhhhh I can't wait to see these this year again!!!!!

[@racintracy]

Saw these guys on Austin City Limits for the first time last night. STUNNING.

[@reaper1304]

good god! this performance gives me goose bumps! i love them what i would have done to be there when they were shooting this. the crowd looks amazing

[@akatsukiyondaime2]
