How To Survive The Suburbs?

What are the suburbs like today in YOUR area?

• ARCADE FIRE In the suburbs I* I learned to drive And you told me we'd never survive Grab your mother's keys we're leavin' You always seemed so sure That one day we'd fight in In a suburban world your part of town gets minor So you're standin' on the opposite shore But by the time the first bombs fell We were already bored We were already, already bored Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling again Kids wanna be so hard But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall And all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fall Meant nothin' at all Meant nothin' at all It meant nothin Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I'm still young I wanna hold her hand And show her some beauty Before this damage is done But if it's too much to ask, it's too much to ask Then send me a son Under the overpass In the parking lot we're still waiting It's already passed So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass Cause it's already passed It's already, already passed! Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling again I'm movin' past the feeling I'm movin' past the feeling In my dreams we're still screamin' We're still screamin' We're still screamin' Read more at http://www.songlyrics.com/arcade-fire/the-suburbs-lyrics/#yumDhCuQ8Pd6qVAS.99

• Answer:

  Wowza! Towel! You made me research this! 1. Arcade Fire is the name of the group of musicians.no ordinary musicians. 2. It's an Indie rock band based out of Montreal, Canada. 3. They have only produced 4 albums and have accolades a mile long. 4. "The Suburbs" is their third album. It won a Grammy Award in 2011 for Album of the year. 5. This album was inspired by the band members & brothers, Win and William Butler's upbringing in the Woodlands, Texas-8--one of Houston's richest suburbs, I might add. I love shopping there! It is the ideal Suburbia. USA city. There are walls every where so people can have privacy. 6. Anyway, back to the band. Their. 4th album is called "Refektor". It was nominated for Best Original Score in the 86th Academy Awards. Its music was used for the soundtrack of the movie "Her". Other song. "Abraham's Daughter" was on soundtrack of movie "Hunger Games". 7. Back to your question "How are your suburbs? Unbelievable! Where I live now, every single yard is manicured. There are flowers everywhere at the entrance of neighborhoods. The street where I drive everyday to go pick up my friends' son from school looks like those photos of Louisina's plantations scenes. There are trees that arch from one side of the road across overhead to the other side of the streets. I pass a golf course on that same road, pass a bridge, and there is a huge fountain on this small lake. The homes in some neighborhoods look like mansions. I drive around and wonder if I should apply to be the maid, a butler, or something. You can see where the help lives--a huge house on the side towards the back. Who needs architectural magazines when you can look at these everyday! It just amazes me. Actually, everything about the city amazes me. Who needs to go to Mars? Yet, these two kids from the suburbs wrote this music because they were bored! Ha! I'd like to be that bored! PS. I don't live in The Woodlands, as nice as this place is.
