Stone's Artist of the Week: Arcade Fire #3

#3- Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

This is an incredibly well-done track about celebrating individuality using the spread of urban development and buildings that end up all looking alike as the analogy.  Regine Chassagne voices this melody perfectly and  the song opens with a powerful stanza:

"They heard me singing and they told me to stop,
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock,
These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose,
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface.
Cause on the surface the city lights shine,
They're calling at me, "come and find your kind."

From their 2010 album, The Suburbs
