The Suburbs - Blog Posts

Just another day in the Suburban War.

The cities we live in could be distant stars, and I'll search for you in every passing car.

In the Suburbs I learned to drive, and you told me we’d never survive.

Girl, you absolutely understood the vision I had in my head. When thinking about Arcane I only hear The Suburbs/Suburban War/The Suburbs Continued playing. Please stop with the telepathy it is a lil concerning.

"This town’s so strange, they built it to change. And while we sleep, we know the streets get rearranged. With my old friends, it was so different then. Before your war against the suburbs began. Before it began. Now the music divides us into tribes. You grew your hair, so I grew mine. You said the past won’t rest until we jump the fence and leave it behind. With my old friends, I can remember when. You cut your hair, I never saw you again. Now the cities we live in could be distant stars. And I search for you In every passing car."

You know I would love to waste it again

You know when you've been listening to a highly agreeable song for a while, and one day it hits you like a ton a bricks? And you're like, it's so obvious. 

Oh Arcade Fire. They deserve every accolade for The Suburbs. The record can mean exactly what you want it to, for anyone, from here to Montreal. It's that good. You just have to listen. 

This song is yours and mine.
