ClearAsCrystal Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 OH! I think I might have already mentioned this...but I bet that id The Arcade FIre held a concert here where I live ( A place called THE Woodlands ..yes the atricle "the" is strictly included) it would be a blowout because Win Butler and his brother Will, were born here where I live now. I would imagine that they would come around here if they come to Texas. They were in Texas not too long ago for Austin City Limits, but at the time, I did not know that :( Anyway just thought I would mention that.

ClearAsCrystal Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 The Woodlands National Anthem I guess we'll have to move The neighborhood is on to us Let's join the little babe's throwin' rocks in front of us Riding on my bicycle I pass my sister on a bus Let's take the country road before our parents send for us Trees keep fallin' at my feet I guess it's time to build a boat Make a raft of our bodies Do you think that it'll float? What I said was not a joke, But you just licked the envelope I'm tired of dating, let's elope But you just licked the envelope Three cheers for my parents, Lonely failed experiments! Three cheers for my parents, Lonely failed experiments! Don't you dare blame my parents I'm the only failed experiment Don't you dare blame your parents You're the only failed experiment Don't you dare blame your grandparents Mom's the only failed experiment Don't you dare blame your grandparents Dad's the only failed experiment Don't blame God Just blame God Don't blame God Okay okay, so after I learned about this song (just now) I had to look it up. So i live here in The Woodlands and there are/were many many trees (hence the name, THe Woodlands...but many are being knocked down to build useless shit) and really, no one likes it here because it is a town that is all research (in fact, there is an area called Research Forest) Many posh families live here in big mansions and commute between The Woodlands and the city of Houston(where they work for big money companies). And it is popular to see kids who have very very wealthy parents who work all the time and the kids hardly ever see their parents. I can see why (I read this somewhere) Win and Will Butler don't like The Woodlands because it is a town of overly wealthy growth and people feel trapped here because there is nothing to do but drugs, shopping, and fancy restaurants and the such. I prollllly didn't explain this well enough ..but reading the lyrics makes me think his family life was similar to that of what I see here in THe Woodlands.

MrMagpie Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 That is pretty darn cool. Glad you found out about a song about your neck of the woods. (no pun intended) (well actually pun intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloppy Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 That's interesting, ClearAsCrystal. I love Arcade Fire. They kick ass live! :kiss: My favorites songs are In the Backseat and Neighborhood #3 (Power Out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearAsCrystal Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 sniggirb and sloppy (the name is Crystal) :wink: Yeah, it was a pretty candy find for me :) And it makes sense (the song) to where I live and the type of people that are a majority here. ^ ^ ^ Power Out is a really pretty song! :cheesy: And I would have to agreee about their live stuff... I haven't seen em live, but heard some live stuffs. And it studio versions rarely compare to them jamming it up live. :sweatdrop: Usually live versions are harder for me to listen to...but The Arcade FIre is an exception.

MrMagpie Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 i don't know, I guess I'm not in an Arcade Fire mood lately. Its been mostly Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Thrills, and Keane. Weird combo I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x_TheSkyCouldFall Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I love their album, really. The whole thing from top to bottom, especially the bottom; really liking Haiti and In The Backseat is such a great song. The ending is basically phenomenal. I love how she lets loose near the end of the song too. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearAsCrystal Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Well, I have to say, I do not agree. Always her voice hits it just where it needs to go for one song or the other. I love her voice. It's one of my favorite things about The Arcade Fire. That and the meanings behind the lyrics. Like Haiti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
