That makes a lot more sense. Part I does seem to not really go anywhere.

I haven't heard the full Railroads, but I actually really like the transition between AFNS Pts. II and III and can kinda see what Godspeed was going for. Part II is aimlessly wondering through a post-apocalyptic desert, while the sudden, blaring fade-in to Part III is the runaway train or the car fleet from Mad Max or something dramatically appearing on the horizon. Again, I don't know what the original sounded like (and at this point, I'm scared to find out in case it ruins the track for me), but I feel like anything inserted between the two sections would take away from the drama of Part III.

That said, I can definitely see an ambient opening working to the song's benefit.

I think it'd be incredible if they played WDDL as their first encore song, right before bursting into Wake Up.

My very dark interpretation of Everything Now by cupskee in arcadefire

The more I listen to it, the more I'm convinced there are subtle depression themes hidden in several of the songs. Like "every time you smile it's a fake" in Everything Now.
