for bands like Arcade Fire.

People try so hard to dissect this shit that they completely miss the point and that is in the visceral, gripping nature of the songs. I could get with the themes here and the songs really captured those to great effect. I felt the same way when I hear The Suburbs. Nothing moved me like that song did for years when I first heard it. The inflection in Win Butler's voice and his earnest and endearing longing and acceptance of fate was fuckin heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. Incredible song. Reflektor in it's own way captures a similar juxtaposition of isolation and love against all odds. It's hold a mirror to us and lets us see what we are showing the world that we may not see. What we may not see in each other.
