Stone's Artist of the Week: Arcade Fire #1

#1- No Cars Go

This is easily my favorite Arcade Fire song.  Of their 2007 album Neon Bible, this track is open to many interpretations.  The way I imagine it is that it is about your personal paradise... somewhere or something that makes you happy and is personal to you.  Not something that everyone can reach by a road or somewhere you can buy a ticket to go to.  Beyond the message, I think the song is excellently written, both lyrically and the emotion in the music.  I love the build-up and the "I don't know where we're going, but let's go!"  It is just a beautiful song all around and probably the track that finally made me a fan.
