The Arcade Fire land in Lyon from another planet!
Images and words (my favourite lines for each song included in the setlist) of the amazing concert of the Arcade Fire I had the fortune to admire in Lyon yesterday (26 November)!
Ready to start - “If I was scared, I would, and if I was bored, you know I would, and if I was yours, but I’m not“
Keep the car running – “There’s a weight that’s pressing down. Late at night you can hear the sound“
Laika – “… so the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights“
No cars go – “Between the click of the light and the start of the dream“
Haiti - “Haïti, mon pays, wounded mother I’ll never see“
Sprawl II – “And there’s no end in sight, I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights“
Rococo – “They’re moving towards you with their colors all the same“
Une année sans lumière – “Hey, your old man should know if you see a shadow, there’s something there”
My body is a cage - “My body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one I love but my mind holds the key“
The Suburbs – “Sometimes I can’t believe it I’m moving past the feeling again“
Month of May – “Month of May, it’s a violent thing in the city their hearts start to sing“
Tunnels – “Purify the colors, purify my mind. Purify the colors, purify my mind, and spread the ashes of the colors over this heart of mine! “
We used to wait – “Now our lives are changing fast hope that something pure can last“
Power out – “And the power’s out in the heart of man take it from your heart put it in your hand”
Rebellion (Lies) - “People say that dreams are the only thing that save you, come on baby in our dreams we can live our misbehavior“
Intervention – “Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home Hear the soldier groan, “We’ll go at it alone“
Wake up – “But now that I’m older, my heart’s colder, and I can see that it’s a lie“
