Song of the Day # 436 Arcade Fire


Now I'm surprising myself. I've always found Arcade Fire to be an enormous amount of sound and fury signifying very little. At least to me. Last night with a long train journey up to Newcastle I tried out a few things I hadn't really listened to on my Ipod. Including their third album The Suburbs.  It's all melodrama of course, at a sustained, vaguely hysterical pitch, But some of it hit the spot last night, like a film you hadn't chosen to see at the cinema but which catches your interest on a long distance flight. And this song seemed the best on the record to me.
