Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Posted 12 months ago

For some reason track seven from Arcade Fire’s first album, 2004’s Funeral (amazon) (itunes), has been stuck in my head for almost a month now.  From the repeated and chanted chorus of “ohhh” to the story Win Butler weaves throughout the song I just can’t seem to get it out of my thoughts.  So I thought I’d troll the interwebs and find a few various versions of this track to cheer everyone up in what has become a bit of a rough stretch for the world.

mp3 : Arcade Fire - Wake Up
mp3 : Arcade Fire - Wake Up (Live)
mp3 : Arcade Fire - Wake Up (Live Acoustic Sessions Version)
mp3 : Arcade Fire & David Bowie - Wake Up (Live at Fashion Rocks)

Although I really love the album version of Wake Up there’s something about the live energy of the song that really catches my attention.  I love how crowds hold onto the “ohhh” and give the track a bit of extra raw power.  And let us all be honest for a brief moment, the live version that they played with The David Bowie is absolutely priceless.  I mean that guy was in Labyrinth.
