Here's a previously unreleased track by The Arcade Fire the band gave out with their documentary film, Mirror Noir. It's called "Burning Bridges" and it's an instrumental version of a song called "Burning Bridges, Breaking Hearts." Hopefully we'll get to hear the song on their next album.
A somber track that The Arcade Fire released in 2005, "Cold Wind" never made it onto one of the band's full length albums.
In the middle of the summer
I'm not sleeping
Cold wind blowing
In the middle of the night they
Try to find me but I'm still driving
If you're going to San Francisco
Lay some flowers on the grave stone
Somethin’ filled up
my heart with nothin’,
someone told me not to cry.
But now that I’m older,
my heart’s colder,
and I can see that it’s a lie.
Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.
If the children don’t grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We’re just a million little god’s causin rain storms turnin’ every good thing to rust.
I guess we’ll just have to adjust.
With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am goin’ to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.
With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am goin’
With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am go-goin’
One of the best movie trailers I've seen in a long time. I love seeing children's books like these being adapted to film. Couldn't have picked a better song for it- by The Arcade Fire (who are notorious for not allowing their music to be used in films). What do you guys think? Will the Where The Wild Things Are movie be a hit?
When I first heard The Acorn's latest album I felt slightly assaulted. I'm usually one who enjoys a fairly predictable song structure, but Glory Hope Mountain kicks off with "Flood Pt. 1" in a bit of discorded chaos...
