Fourth place anthem playing tonight
On a broken radio
Thought WE reached the mountaintop, but now
WE just feel so low
The sky is breaking open
WE keep hoping in the distance
WE'll see a glow
Lightning light our way
Till the black sky turns back to indigo
WE can make it if you don't quit on me
I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
WE can make it, baby, please don't quit on me
I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
I'll never quit on you
WE were born in paradise beneath a poisoned sky
Under a bad sign, the micro-age of gemini
And WE are still unlearning
Tires are burning in the middle of Rodeo Drive
You know that WE've been beat down and broken
But now WE can testify
WE can make it if you don't quit on me
I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
WE can make it, baby, please don't quit on me
I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
I'll never quit on you
It's not up to YOU some you win, some you lose
(When the lightning comes)
YOU don't get to choose, some you win, some you lose
(When the lightning comes)
I heard the thunder on a blue sky perfect day, I wonder why
Am I the only one?
I heard the thunder and I feel I'm going under, Jesus Christ
Was an only son
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?
I heard the thunder and I thought it was the answer, but I find
I got the question wrong
I was trying to run away but a voice told me to stay
And put the feeling in a song
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?

Régine is standing by her man. I dare you to play it next. Win. Not so good to his female fans.
Upgraded my Rating from a 7 to an 8! This is a song you and i need to listen more times then one!
I really enjoy Arcade Fire... they have something special.
I think the first time I heard this was on WKRAP satellite.
guy’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard
All the hipsters have deemed these guys to be passé...but this is catchy and fun...do we really need more? Sorry if its not intuit throat singing over an edm beat with crispy cauliflower buffalo sauce and beet-prune juice...but c'mon guys...its just music...
To me, a band in full decline.
Wow. 18 plays in the last 30 days. The Lightning obviously strikes a lot more than necessary.
The cover art always tricks me into thinking I'm going to hear something from Scott 3.

There are songs played on RP that take me back in time. This is the first time a song has taken me forward....

Huge AF fan but I have written this song off after multiple listens here on RP - very contrived and boring to me. I hope the new album has better stuff. I have not heard it yet.
(Yes, a follow-up to my similar comment earlier, but I've decided now ;)

Well, that's a good way to find out AF have a new album! I'll have to listen to the rest. On its own, the song sounds a bit bland.
Painful.

I have always liked this band. The 80's were not my jam, but this outfit makes me nostalgic for this genre. Nice effort, lads. Keep it coming!

since the 3rd album they cant make any good songs
Huge AF fan, but this is kind of weak to me (a bit formulaic, unlike them); I really hope the other tracks on the new album are at another level. ....but very cover art!
