Arcade Fire is so adept at taking abstract feelings, in this case feelings of dismay at the world you have inheirited - a melancholy dismay that feels hopeless, and turning that wrenching feeling in your guts into words and sounds that convey the feeling more than my bumbling attempt. This magic of Arcade Fire is so clear in the whole suburbs album. This is poetry put to great melody.
