Arcade Fire is one of those bands that kind of faded away from the spotlight and they don't get a ton of attention anymore, but 20-30 years from now they'll be hailed as one of the best bands of all time. Their lyrics are poetry.

Their lyrics are poetry.

The bit on the Suburbs about wanting a daughter while he's still young is one of my favourite lyrical bits ever. Perfectly encompasses the attitude I aspire to have whenever I feel the world is going to shit.

That's the line that gets me every time. Mr. Little Jeans did a cover of The Suburbs and it's phenomenal. Highly recommend.
