Lyrics
The businessmen are drinking my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
And I guess I'll just begin again
You say, "Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But they bow down to him anyway
Because it's better than being alone
If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now you're knocking at my door
Saying, "Please come out with us tonight"
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright
If the businessmen are drinking my blood
Like the kids at art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say, "Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would
And if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now I'm ready to start
If I was scared, I would
And if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now I'm ready to start
]
Now I'm ready to start
I would rather be wrong
Than live in the shadows of your song
My mind is open wide
And now I'm ready to start
And now I'm ready to start
My mind is open wide
And now I'm ready to start
Not sure you'll open the door
To step out into the dark
Now I'm ready - Hudba
Happy 10 year anniversary to this masterpiece of an album.
Not yet
Total nostalgia coming back to this song! I wish I could go back 10 yrs ❤

Was, and is.
And I hope
-after they followed it with Reflektor (which could have been, had they focused it more and put the best of it onto one, and not two albums) & Everything Now, which had 2 or 3 really good songs but otherwise missed the mark by a mile-
that their 6th album, due out hopefully this year sometime (2021) will be astonishing too; they definitely have it in them to be, and I'm really looking forward to it.
How has it been 10 years??
"I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright"

pretending is all what humans can ..
so deep
thats my life
Love this version - faster, louder, punkier, awesomer.
Mr. B . Have you heard it from tears for fears ? Cos i must admit they did a crap cover version of it.
There's another version?
@@deepalijoshi4631 The original album version is a bit slower.
Tina Jane Oxnam. I theam eee
@@tinajaneoxnam.8866 I agree with you up to a point, 'cause we've got to remember they're an extraordinary british band, and all seems to sound good with british accent . LOL, IMO
Remember when The Suburbs won the Grammy for Album of The Year over Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Lady Antebellum and everyone flipped the freak out? Good times. Chalk one up for the good guys.
+Ryan Garcia I remember this and was so happy. None of my friends new who they were and i was like, well, these guys are brilliant! Too bad you haven't caught up with the times! ahahaha
+Ryan Garcia I swear when it happened I screamed my lungs out! I was so excited they really deserved it over them all! The Suburbs is a masterpiece.
+Ryan Garcia One of those is not like the others.......
i like them all tho
One of the only times the good guys won
I would rather be alone than pretend that i'm alright.
That speaks to me.
yepoers
Fuck yeah man
This song always pops into my head when something transitional has happened in my life. Like when I've just come to some conclusion about some long past issue thats been demonising me internally for years, or I've just turned a corner in life, gotten through something, achieved something, arrived somewhere new...that sort of thing.... My mind, is open wide now im ready to start...fucking yeah!
I get that.
This just happened to me, how amanzing!
Trying to get there
damn i just chanced upon arcade fire after years and rediscovering their work for the first time, and this exactly how i feel, you described it real well, some transition of deep past issue, trying to get through and toward something new.
Always bottling up my feelings. This band is one of if not the only one that makes me feel all kinds of things. For this, I thank them.
I need to experience this in person once in my life.
I have seen them twice in concert and both times it was an unforgettable experience. Hope you got to see them too
You won’t regret it... wonderful concert! One of the best I’ve been in! :)
Everytime I watch this it makes me want to be there so bad
I have to believe it’s 20x better live
Best concert of my life.
This was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. I love that the band members trade off the instruments they play. Such a talented group of people. Still have a great sound. One of my favorite bands.
“I’d rather be alone... then pretend I feel alright” I don’t know why but I could really resonate with that
All the kids have always known that the emperor wears no clothes,but you bow down to him anyway
it's better than being alone...
Kiddie b
But if I was scared I would, if I was pure you know I would…
Geek97 if I was yours, but im not...
Daniel Borah Now im ready to staaaaart!
Always cycling instruments. Every 11+ member singing and playing their heart out. Every damn song either beautifully nostalgic and dark or hard and head-bangy.
They are the best live band.
And their albums are amazing too. Just the best.
I saw Arcade Fire a few years ago at Coachella - The music has always enchanted me, but I really appreciated their attitude - anti-VIP section message. I also loved how they played all of the way to the end of the noise ordinance time......and them kept on playing as the power was shut off!!!!! They just kept playing (with passion) walking through the crowd! I Loved it!!!!!
Today is my 35th birthday. I'm down 120 pounds and in a completely new space for the first time in my life. There is so much out there left to be revealed to me. I'm amazed. Never stop being amazed. This was a great first song to listen to on this special day. I'm about to go out for a run and kick some ass out of this day! :)
You go !!!!!
I turn 35 next month, this song came into my life fairly recently, and this has so far been a year for reaching completely new spaces on my life. I guess your comment kinda resonates with me a lot because of all that :)
How are you doing at 42 now?
listening to it a few months before moving to another city where I'll finally LIVE and BE MYSELF. I'm ready to start and I'm starting it.
Your day will come Dave, give it time
Hope things work out for you!
David Jung good luck 👍
envy you right now. so much.
David Jung . Really crap by tears for fears.
I saw them live yesterday in Lollapalooza. An amazing experience. Such a beautiful show❤
Si fue en el Lollapalooza Chile, fue tremendo. El mejor del lolla por LEJÍSIMOS.
Instant nostalgic feels listening to this song. Takes me back to the simpler days
BEST Album of the last 10 years. It has such a futurist vibe, maybe that's why it will never gets old.
This song gets me ready to start.
Never tire of this...4.16 minutes of euphoric rock....absolutely brilliant, luv it!
Yea! :')
I think Win looked amazing in that haircut
and sexy as fuck
I like that one he has now. pulled back, with the blonde tips at the end.
bonjour
Arcade Fire are so underrated
when you love a music so much that your whole body and soul painfully ache to become one with the music... but the song goes by second by second and ends and you felt like you were about to touch eternity but just missed it... so you start the song again and it touches you so deeply you want to scream! and for the time it is playing everything is good and meaningful.
Your explanation is the best definition of what happends to me in my "relationship" with music....I´m really amazed with your words. Thanks perfect stranger!
That may be one of the most well-said things I have ever seen in a CZcams comment! Thank you for sharing my friend
yes .
NICE ONE OUR KID . LOVE FROM MANCHESTER .
yes
There's been so many brilliant bands in my lifetime since I was born in 1968. And so many before. But lloyd Cole and the commotions rattle snakes was the first. Then I have to say oasis. Then for a long time nothing grabbed me and punched me in the face till arcade fire. Made me feel young again this band has everything and more. Love them to death xx
You’re so right. Try James live next, they’re a revelation
Try The Strokes next.
Heh Paul,
We're similar ages and got to say the musical ear gets better with age🤟
Lovin live music so much and AF is up there with the best,
Life's great🤟🤟🤟🤟
Well said.
Brilliant song, lyrically and the energy
wish yall knew how much your music helped me thru some bad times as a kid
something on this song makes me feel free
"but I would rather be alone than pretend I feel alright"........ right in the feeeeeeeeels
One of the most powerful songs that i've ever heard.
God. When music was awesome. Glad. Came for it.
This song gives me chills. Such a powerful band.
Chile is ready to start!! 🔥
I know this song inside and out already and I still have to listen to it entirely because it is just THAT good.
I like you.
the best band in the world.
Arcade fire é aquele tipo de banda que de tão boa, parece q não existe, q é fruto da sua imaginação kkkkk doida demais!!!
tatiana oliveira muito boa mesmo
Bem isso kkk
Vamos casa.
tatiana oliveira, isso é pura verdade!!kkkk
verdade hahaah
I saw these guys live once and I wish I'd gotten more into their music in advance. Support act were Pixies, and everyone in my gang was much more familiar with them. Even Arcade Fire seemed a bit embarrassed to be the headliner, they were literally telling the audience "if there hadn't been a Pixies, there wouldn't be an Arcade Fire".
This song saved my life 🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾
You're Awesome
#2023
Good luck 🍀
❤
Mine too
the start gives me joy division vibes
the whole song actually.
And video too
I came down to the comments to make this connection. Im glad other people see it too
I think it's fair to say everyone is ripping off someone else, go look at PJ Harvey she blatantly copied Kleenex/Lilliput.
The tension in this song makes me levitate, and the video really helps. What a jewel.
Incredible, relevant band! One of the if not thé most important band of the 21st century! Saw them several times live and mindblowing performances each time ❤️❤️❤️
When they opened the NOSalive show with this... It was simply amazing. I always loved arcade fire, but after attending to their concert... I have no words to describe How I felt. their concerts are simply magical.
Henrique Novo radiohead put up a much better performance though
Yeah, that is what I heard.
I unfortunately was unnable to attend to their concert. The tickets for the day they played were already sold out by the time i purchased mine. :-(
that bass line... :D
Joe Serb ❤
Man, I will always love the intro of this song in this video, I don’t know, captures a kind of nostalgic feeling to make a leap of faith full of courage, it’s, beautiful, inspiring.
This track has so much energy! I love it!
Its been 10 years already..dayum how time flies.
659 people don't know what's good music.
i love this band so much that hurts
🖤
I'm a bit of late comer to the Arcade Fire party. These guys are pretty fuckin good. Heard Rebellion on the radio recently and decided to check them out. Glad I did. Rebellion is a cracking song by the way.
You are never late to find Arcade Fire.
omg!! i first listened to them on October 2013, i just fell in love with them, first song was In the Backseat from Funeral. Each album is a different and exciting music journey, hope you enjoy them
Mabel Sanchez ;)
Same here. First song was no cars go when lakai video fully flared came out and mike mo skated to it. I was mesmerized by both song and skate part.
Justin Medellin me 2
LONG LIVE ARCADE FIRE. THE GREATEST BAND OF OUR GENERATION!
I miss this.
The man at 0:40 is my reaction every time I listen to Arcade Fire, pure joy 😂🤩
The pilot on my southwest flight played this for 30 or so navy men & woman going to flee week. Gives me fu#kng chills
2 drummers & 2 keyboardists in 1 band. what an unique formation
Saudades quando a MTV sempre tocava essa musica, foi a primeira que ouvi do Arcade Fire 😊
Went to see them in Dublin last night wit my 28 year son OMG,have seen alot of bands in my day they are up there the best.
As someone with mental health issues, the line:
'I would rather be alone, than pretend I feel alright'
Spoke hard to me when I first heard this as a teen, it was a relief to have this song to listen to and be my friend.
Same here lol. Guess we did the same thing
Hell yeah! My whole dam li*e!
This concert sure looks like so much
Fun⭐️⭐️⭐️
Usually I am into metal, but I really can't deny the artistry of these guys, they are pretty awesome!
I'm mostly a psychedelic and space rock guy, but this tune popped up in my Pandora channel a few years ago and I'm so glad it did. Such a great tune and deep lyrics, I get chills every time. ✌🏻
There's a lot of firepower on that stage. Seems there's several people playing or capable of playing several different instruments. (Several durmmers, violin, etc.) Impressive!!
If you can sit still watching this, I'd check for a pulse.
I love it how they make great music and their lyrics always have so many meanings, it's a shame that it is so rare today...
It all started when i first listened to this song. Then i listened to all the other songs and i was in love with this band.
I like this version better solely because of the way the tone *immediately* shifts at "if I was yours | but I'm not." One of the best moments in musical history for me, and I don't even know why. This isn't even my favorite Arcade Fire song.
This song always makes me feel so good
Pareil
This song makes me some kind of way, hard to describe
Ikr
This comment right here please :p
One of the BEST bands.
Love watching Règine on drums....awesome song x
oh you Canadians, this is why we love you =)
Getting a punk vibe from this, nice shit.
I'm going to see them live this year in Zagreb... Not their biggest fan, but they do have some songs that are masterpieces, like this one.
Who else likes this version of ready to start better than the original?
I do. I find it sounds much more energetic and real than the album version.
Exactly!
Same here...
nah... he sings terribly :/
Not me.
This song and the suburbs are 2 of the best songs ever written in my opinion
Can't believe it's been 4 years since I last listened to this song, man this brings back some memories.
4 years?! have you been living under Patrick's rock? :P
I forgot about this song lol xD
"If I was yours, but I'm not..."
Haven't heard these in a while
This is my favorite A.F. song of all the albums....so powerful.
That song was so amazing. I've been a fan of years for over 15 years and I can't believe but you guys still GOT IT! 💘
This is song is amazing. I LOVE No Cars Go also. These songs are my name!
Class. Class song, even better album.
It's crazy to see the contrast from a concert in the early 2010s to one in the late 2010s.
In that wide shot at 0:13, I see two people with smartphones out (or maybe they were digital cameras). By the late 2010s, that place would've been swarmed with glowing smartphone screens. In fact, even by mid 2010s you would've seen that change.
It's nice to see people there just enjoying the moment.
Man I was scrolling through my instagram archive and found a picture of me and my ex-girlfriend very happy together at a museum. Getting over her has been so hard, thank you arcade fire for helping me move on :) it’s been such a slow process but I got this!
Has anyone seen them live? I really love Arcade Fire, and I think they would be phenomenal Live. Patiently waiting for them to come to Australia.
***** I will get tickets the second they announce they're coming here :)
+Sophie O'Donnell I saw them in 2005 and again in 2013.
I did and it was fucking magical
I did and it was fucking magical
+Sophie O'Donnell I saw them at Glastonbury in 2014 and it was MAGICAL but my feet hurt so much the whole time hahaha I wanna see them again so badly
I'm in love with this.
Live versions are much better than the lyric/music videos I find. Much more feeling in the atmosphere
Such a brilliant album. So much passion.
listening to this befor sitting for my physics exam
+jango still chained before my law exams :P
+jango still chained before my french grammar exam
Listening to this before confessing my love for a friend of mine. Scared as fuck
go an A on physics exam, good luck to the rest of you guys about the stuff you all said you are preparing for
Facing the flinch everyday! Let's do it!! smash it
I LOVE this song!!!!!! I think I've watched this video 1000 times.
This song just reaches the depths of my SOUL. I love it.
3:51 makes me feel a lot of emotions... still my favourite song ever
Great song, great lyrics, powerful.
They absolutely smashed Glastonbury, I'll never forget that...
That moment when you realize the opening "riff" signifies that this song is gonna be bad-ass.
What a great song. This whole album is just incredible.
quando eu escuto arcade fire, parece que eu entro em outra dimensão. eu me empolgo pra caralho cantando. a letra definitivamente me toca!
Comigo acontece a mesma coisa!
Essa música tem uma força absurda!
I would rather be alone, than pretend I'm alright!
Forget your feelings for a moment...then think of hers
Amo este solo de guitarra é demais.
Amazing Arcade Fire song
Back when I still loved him 💔😣
Didn't realise this song was so old. I seem to have heard it a lot in the last year but not before. Perhaps it's my long C memory. I get to re hear and re love old music, all over again. Swings and roundabouts.
These guys are so much better live... go see a show!
Wish I could. They never come to the Boston area...
Mike Burkard theyll never come to India 😒
oh man i should put this on my to do list immediately. thank you for the idea.
saw them at NOS alive in July, best band I've ever seen live!
definetly had a beautiful time seen thwm twice once at coachella 07if i recall and another time at the hollywood bowl 08 :)
