Funeral put to death the traditional rock quartet and birthed the rock ensemble. It was full of amazing, epic musical moments. Funeral gave us glimpses into different people’s stories, lives and neighborhoods. My favorite neighborhood is still #3: Power Out. Because it captured the eerie magic of what it feels like when the lights go out. It’s anything but dormant. While many of Arcade Fire’s hardest songs still take on a slow, prodding pace, “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)” has a sense of urgency to it that I’ve always loved.

“I went out into the night. I went out to find some light. Kids are swingin' from the power lines. Nobody's home, so nobody minds.”
