Fell in Love with the Band

I recall it was about five or six years ago, I was driving in my car listening to the usual songs when I came upon a song that I couldn't get enough of. This song filled my car with the most brilliant, unique music I had ever stumbled upon. I was in Love and from that moment on, I would begin a beautiful journey with a band called the Arcade Fire. If you have not had the privelage of tuning into their music, you need to and soon. I do not believe they are for everybody and I don't know that I can completely explain my passionate love, understanding of them. They just move me and always have. Their music is made with many different instruments. I have been told that if you attend a concert of their's, and you leave for the restroom, by the time you return, you will find they have switched instruments. Amazing! Sadly, I have not been to a concert of their's, but I cannot wait for when that day comes. Something else that makes me very happy is a video/documentary that you can find a portion of on youtube.com. If you look up a song called "Neon bible" you will find this song performed in an elevator. It's no joke. They all cram into an elevator and play their music live! Even one of the band members is using a magazine to rip to keep the percussion. I watched the enxtended part of this video that youtube.com doesn't show you. After they play this beautiful song, they burst out into the audience to play another one of their songs live and using megaphones for the vocals. Oh to be an audience member lucky enough to stand right next to them as play. I tend to go through many musical phases from showtunes, to Judy Garland, to Edith Piaf, to Guns and Roses, and so on. But my love of Arcade Fire has remained the same and I can confidently say, they are mine.
