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.
