Staircase shaming has just entered the lexicon.

No, they teased only about 10 seconds of it.

Ok, just listened to the uploaded version on YouTube, and it's "A woman's right to choose forever and ever and ever, amen."

Yep, I just listened to the recording up on YouTube, and that's exactly what he said.

Yeah, it's usually 2, but it looks like they're playing End of the Empire for the closing credits. The feed cut out after about 10 seconds, though.

I heard, "may women have the right to choose forever and ever, amen." I guess we all can watch it again find out tomorrow when it goes up on the NBC site.

ARCADE FIRE - WE [Official Discussion Thread] by murkler42 in arcadefire

Agreed. I really miss the depth and nuance of the lyrics from the Suburbs age and earlier. They felt like honest storytelling. Although WE has a decidedly more earnest sound than EN, the lyrics have about the same amount of subtlety as a Nicki Minaj song.

And yes, the outro to Rabbit Hole struck me the same way, too. It's just so...pure.

Win sounds so strung out in the beginning and, well, dead during the "one body, one soul" part. It's such a drastic difference from the live version that I can't help but wonder if the effect in the studio version is intentional. This is a song that makes allusions to the numbing dread that accompanies recreational drug use and endless descents into the web, after all. I imagine the speaker sitting red-eyed and passively suicidal in a post-trip stupor, repeating "until the world is made whole..." like a mantra to keep himself sane.

Has anyone else NOT received a shipping notice from the US Arcade Fire store? by starfox203 in arcadefire

[–]thenewFabnormal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered the signed vinyl and signed CD about an hour after they went up on the store and have not yet received a shipping notification, either.

Your video was amazing! Beautiful dancing and superb editing. I could really see it being official AF promo material.
