    I had breakfast this morning at a neighborhood diner where the guy behind the counter (let’s call him Jonathan) asked me what I’d be doing today and was interested to find out I’d be writing a review of Arcade Fire’s latest album. We talked about a number of other aspects of Everything Now that could be considered paradoxical—like keyboardist Regine Chassagne’s voice…

    ♪ On and on, and I don’t know what I want On and on, and I don’t know if I want it

    …which is part operatic and part punk, frantic but consummately controlled at the same time… and the song, or maybe songs, called “Infinite Content,”

    ♪ Infinite content, infinite content, we’re infinitely content

    which appears first as the punk song you’re hearing right now, spelled “Infinite Content”, and then as a country song, spelled “Infinite_Content”. The punk bit and the country bit have separate track listings, but the same lyrics and melody. And the former flows directly into the latter no silence in between. So are we talking about one song here, or two?

    Clearly, Arcade Fire is not a band that’s too caught up in being one thing or another.

    And I suspect that’s what Jonathan was thinking when he summed up what I consider to be the foremost paradox of this album. He said, “I like that it’s got a message that’s there if you want it, but you can also just ignore it and enjoy the grooves.”

    In prepping for this episode, I read a fair number of reviews of this album, and I noticed that one of the most common criticisms of Everything Now has to do with it being both a message album and a dance album. Some critics are saying that Arcade Fire has forsaken its indie roots and should stop trying to be a dance band. Others are saying they should make up their minds and be either a message band or a dance band—but not both.

    As for me, I’m inclined to agree with Jonathan. I think it’s perfectly fine to be both. And guessing from Everything Now’s performance on the Billboard album charts—currently number one in both rock and alternative rock—the public at large seems just fine with the paradox as well. A cautionary message about existential estrangement in the age of connectivity might not sound like a good time for everybody, but if it sounds like 1970s big-production disco, you can always just dance.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
