Arcade Fire - Wake Up (Funeral)

I heard Wake Up for the first time on Where The Wild Things Are movie trailer, and it gave me goosebumps right away. No information were given regarding the background music back then, and this song isn't part of the Where The Wild Things Are OST...

Guess what, I wasn't alone when come to looking for who the hell is/are the singer/band behind this. Finally someone posted the question on Yahoo! Answers and got it answered.

It's the Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire consists of 8 talented multi-instrumentalists! This song is recorded in their first full album Funeral in 2004. They also recorded an alternate version, and live acoustic version for the movie Where The Wild Things Are.





Live!



Funeral (2004) by Arcade Fire

Lyrics:
Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

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.

With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin’
With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am, go-go, where I am

You'd better look out below

Ooh, I just love the lyrics!
