“Wake Up” by The Arcade Fire has been getting some play lately as part of the preview for the Where the Wild Things Are movie (which, incidentally, looks awesome).
If the children don’t grow up,
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We’re just a million little gods causin’ rain storms turnin’ every good thing to rust.
I guess we’ll just have to adjust.
“Wake Up” can be found on The Arcade Fire’s 2004 album, Funeral, a solid album, though probably not as strong as 2007’s Neon Bible.
In all honesty, I had all but forgotten about “Wake Up”; since being reminded of its existence, however, I’ve awarded the song a spot on my July 2009 playlist.
