arcade fire cars and telephones

- early arcade fire, amazing song
I read the pages about me
In her autobiography
They were brief and to the point
A flash, while you are getting dressed
A memory that needs to be repressed
I'll just wait until it's over
Since you've gone away
I never know just what to say
Since you've gone away
I never know just what to say
Cause I like cars more than telephones
Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone
Tonight I'm gonna drive
The silver moon is shining bright
Over the interstate
God saying hurry don't be late
Soon the sun will rise
That's when the romance dies
And I'm just tired of running around
I walked
To get the mail today
I guess
Your letter never came
I'll just
Check again tomorrow
A flash while you are getting dressed
A Memory that needs to be repressed
I'll just wait without saying a word
Since you've gone away
I never know just what to say
Since you've gone away
I never know just what to say
Cause I like cars more than telephones
Your voice in my head makes me feel so alone
Tonight I'm gonna drive
The silver moon is shining bright
Over the interstate
God saying hurry don't be late
Soon the sun will rise
That's when the romance dies
And I'm just tired of running around
But fuck it I love you even if
I'm gonna feel like shit
By the time I get to you
Now the sky is turning blue
The stars they disappear
One by one as the daylights nears
And yes you're in my head
But that doesn't make you here
And I've lost all my friends
But you're the one I miss the most
And now I'm almost there
Yeah I'm almost to the coast
And if I had any notion
Of how I'm gonna drive my car across
the Atlantic Ocean,
I'd be fucking set. - Hudba

"And I've lost all my friends, but you're the one I miss the most" I think about this everyday...
I'd sacrifice each and every one of them to have her again
it's weird i feel that arcade fire could have been a completely different band if they kept this sound, feels a lot more raw?
Dudley McBest Yeah i wouldn't complain, but who knows what sound they will go with next
i originally came for phan now i just come back cos its so fucking amazing
samee

illmakeuhowell?
i will forever be heartbroken by the fact that this song is not available on spotify
Why isn’t it btw?
@@urmom8438 seems like it was just a really early demo track they never ended up officially releasing
"Fuck i'll love you even if i'm going to feel like shit." Words I've said before to that girl we've all met before.
this is such an underrated song
emma ryan Totally true.....
"and yes you're in my head, but that doesn't make you here"
why isn't this song more popular it has such meaningful lyrics and is easy listening like wtf more do u want in a song
YES
It’s not popular bec it’s not on any streaming service sadly
@@windowmaker8479 yeah! I've loved this band since Funeral, and this is my first listen of this song.
Or “if I had any notion of how I’m gonna drive my car across the Atlantic Ocean, I’d be fucking set.”
The ending literally kills me each time.
Ever since I first heard it, I haven't stopped listening to it.
Same

Same, Same, Same....♾

I've loved this song for so many years now, but I only keep going back to listen to it every once in a while. it's a song I want to be careful with, since I have a habit of "overplaying" songs I really like until they loose most of its magic. I still love them, but they don't have the same effect as they used to... with this song, I've had days where this is all I listen to, and then i don't hear it for months... it's kind of weird. but I'm afraid of ruining the magic in it for myself. this song has helped me cope with life, calm down, cry and smile over the past few years and it's something special that I only listen to "when it's right". I don't know where I'm going with this, but I remember thinking so many times that I wished this was available on Spotify. I'm kind of glad it's not? it kind of makes it more special in a way.
why doesnt this comment have more likes, I have the EXACT same thought. The atmosphere of this song is so special, it's kind of secret (bc of the fact that it's not available on spotify), like a tiny pretty garden hidden by giant trees that no one really knows about, but you for some reason stumbled across it and realise how special this little space is for you
@@dumbaries3171 and now I somehow come back to listen to it again, for the first time in a long time, just 2 weeks after you responded to my comment from over a year ago that I don't even remember writing anymore. life is strange sometimes haha
omg I feel the EXACT same way. This song is like a checkpoint for me. I forget about it and when I come back to it it’s so great. This video will forever have a special place in my heart. It’s so cool that I have someone that feels the same as me about this song
this is exactly how i treat this song, i never name it when i'm asked my favorite song even though it is. its in my thoughts way more often than its in my ears and its special to me that way.
Fully agree. Also strange that it’s not really like their other music. I like the other stuff, but this song will always hold a special place.
.*List of things this song reminds me of*.
(Warning: Really long)
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
The Forest Fic
My friend Dakota who will be moving soon
Those weird thoughts you get at around 2-5 AM
That calm feeling when you're zoning out with strobe lights on
Freshly lit incense
The smell of cashmere
Taking a walk in autumn
That one baby blue sweater I have
The feeling you get when you look at the one you love but then your brain says, "No, you probably shouldn't do that."
Vanilla chamomile tea
Foggy days that make it look like everything's in black and white
Late-summer storms
That one time when I was out on the roof with my older sister at just past midnight(I was about seven at the time)
Orange lighting that makes you feel calm but makes you want to stay up late
When you look at the time of a Skype call with the one you love and it's been over 45 minutes
Lighting sparklers
Messing around with your friends, having the time of your life
Conversations with my mom while watching meteor showers
Looking at something and finally saying, "That looks right for once."
Having a day without anxious/depressive thoughts
Calm saturday mornings
When somebody says, "I'm sorry." and you can tell that they mean it
Healed scars
The rare occasion when your positive thoughts overpower the negative ones
*And finally*
When you find the song that, regardless of the lyrics, describes how you always feel.
--Thank you if you actually read all of this-
yeeees
actual multi-fandom trash noooooo you're so right about the forest fic
That was so beautiful no amount of feels can describe it
this made me so happy thank you for typing all of that
ima add on if thats ok:
white christmas lights
watercolor paper
warm tea on a rainy day
parked car conversations
when someone pushes u rly high on the swings
driving on a rainy day
staring at the stars in the summer
fuzzy blankets
reading a rly good book
comfy socks
warm cookies
my favorite sweater
spending hours in an art museum
and finally
talking with ur best friend until 3 am
to anyone that is listening to this song…i love you!!
love you too!!
*mwuah*
im not crying. you're crying
+Bekah Loveland i'm not crying. i'm just sweating out of my eyes
I'm not crying, I'm crafting
you're correct
we’re both crying
"i've lost all my friends, but you're the one i miss the most" :(
:(
I would take a life to have this on Spotify.
I don't get why they don't just put this on iTunes already. I get that it's pre-arcade fire but people love this song. People would rather buy it than download it.
they forgot about the song hahaha literally
This song just kills me every time I hear it.
music like this needs to be appreciated more
I wouldn’t agree. If this music would be appreciated more it wouldn’t be the same. It’s so special mainly, because only some people can truly appreciate it. You can’t find it special just like that. You need to be someone with empathy, artistic soul, deep thinking. Besides imagine if someone would try to make this song commercial and it would definitely happen if the song got popular 😬 I must say I like the things how they are
i dont know how i ended up here but im really deep in the phandom so mustve been some crusty old phan edit but i love this so much and it makes me happy that the phandom is here too
never call illmakeuhowell’s video ‘some crusty old phan edit’ again, please and thank you
is it just me or is anyone else thinking about what the person that uploaded this is doing now 9 years later?
peach
Now it’s already 11 years later
Yeah
this one, also the rhubarb cover on acoustic
and now we’re at 12
I'm wondering how you're doing 4 years after commenting this
things this song reminds me of:
sitting on the bathroom floor at 3 am on winter break with the window open
my ex girlfriend(kissing in her pool during a thunderstorm, the last time i ever kissed her, not knowing that it would be the last)
how this summer was exactly the same as the last
crinkled love letters
the feeling of pure emptiness
crying over things that happened years ago
watching the snow fall in april
racing shopping carts behind the grocery store with my best friends in the last week of summer
hugs from people you haven't seen in months
how july is always sad
breaking promises
and driving home in the rain
november is always sad for me
i wish i knew then how good it gets!!! you will grow!!! you will change!!! i am older and loved and things are better. im so proud of younger me for feeling these feelings and leaving a memory of it. if youre reading this and relate you will grow and it will be okay i promise youre gonna wake up with new eyes and you will feel so good i love you forever
But fuck it I love you even if
I'm gonna feel like shit
when i first met my girlfriend i would put this song on repeat and cry. we met through tinder while she was home from school one weekend and went on a date for the hell of it. i fell in love with her almost immediately. after the date i cried in my car for nearly half an hour, i didn't think we were going to see eachother again due to distance. we continued to talk and began to video chat daily, and eventually i made the drive to her school to visit her. seeing her in real life for the second time was so magical, nobody had ever taken my breath like she had. I danced around the idea of dating but she told me that she could never do long distance, that it would hurt too much. not being together hurt both of us more than the distance ever could, and the next time she came home we officially started dating. this song still hits way too close to home, we see eachother more that other long distance couples but i just wish i be with her physically all the time. idk why i typed out this essay, well wishes to everyone else listening to this and thinking of somebody they love right now.
forgot i typed this lmfao, we live in the same city and see eachother every day now :) life gets good
@@brdtube this is the sweetest thing ever so happy for you two!!!! ❤️❤️
remembered this song, so one last response to this. we broke up a few months ago, that's just how life goes. I'm still sad a little bit but that's life, there are bigger and better things
@@brdtubewhy
@@brdtubelike what..? Love is the biggest thing of them all
♥️
The definition of a "gem".
I dunno about you, but i came from a phan edit ...
+the awkard panda me too. i think this song was a perfect choice for the phan edit, honestly
+Aquaria The Earthling i know!!
we all did tbh
same, now I love this song
Finally, I've found you, traveler
angry that this isnt on spotify 😤
I'm still so in love with this song aaaa
this song is a different type of hurt
fun fact : arcade fire themselves forgot about this demo song
Really? Damned...
they didn’t - they played it live in 2018
So sad this song was never released, I would love to listen to it on spotify
I know. I want to buy it. I hate downloading stuff but I might have to.
I had heard about this song many times in Arcade Fire circles. Some people said it was an amazing song, worthy for inclusion on "Funeral". Others said that it's so poorly recorded that it's not worth listening to, and just an early attempt at writing a song anyway. Finally, I found it here on CZcams, and WOW, this was not what I expected. The recording quality is way better than that of the EP usually referred to as "Us Kids Know", and the EP was actually released. The song reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel, especially the harmonies in the first verse. Who is that on the harmonies? Win and Will?
there’s just something about this song
I'm here from a Phan edit too but can we all just sit back and appreciate this song?
the harmonies on this song.... A+
This song reminds me of the first person I fell in love with. We haven't talked in over a year, and even though she broke my heart a part of me still loves her so much. I've lost all my friends, but she's the one I miss the most.
Syd Marvel I get the point, the relationship I had with my ex was really similar with Win/Regine one. He's been with other girls while I still miss him, and we were on a LDR... The day he broke up with me it was raining and this song was playing...
been listening to this unreleased version since 2007 or 2008, when i was 16 and in high school. i'd lay there at night and listen to so much arcade fire, staying up way too late and knowing i'd hate myself in the morning. somehow it was still worth it and now i cry thinking of that memory.
Me too. I’ve never read a comment so adequately describing my teen years.
WELL 90% OF THE PHANDOM CAME HERE AFTER THAT *FUCKING* VIDEO THAT MADE US FEEL *TOO* MANY FEELS
HiI'mNot Kiwi yup.
I won't even deny it at this point
Yes, though I think it's actually about 99.9%
HiI'mNot Kiwi I love that video. It's so beautifully edited. And it showed me this song, which is so amazing. Gosh I love it.
HiI'mNot Kiwi oh yes. Way to many feels! It's just a great video I've only watched it 100 times!!
I don't know why but this song reminds me very much of Life is strange.... you know this game...
+La Lumina I was just thinking the same thing, actually.
+dragoniguana :D
Yes, me too. Such an awesome game !
Fuck that was so emotional for me
+Panic! At The Phanfics you're right I had to cry at the end
ive been coming back to this same song here nd there for about two-three years now. never fails to be a safe space for me to calm down and forget about everything.
thank you for posting this.
Why do I keep on thinking about 2009 phan?!
same
I saw the video with this song in it so that's like all I can think about when I listen to it. That and also every nostalgic Phan video edit has calm sad music in the background
astrø catastrøphe What are you talking about?
+Carolina Salcedo are you asking what video I'm talking about or what Phan is? because the video is by illmakeuhowell and its title is just a heart. if you're asking what Phan is, just look it up. but I warn you, the phandom is a black hole you don't wanna get trapped in😂😂
Same
WHY ISN'T THIS ON SPOTIFY I LOVE THIS TRACK SO MUCH ❤
Seriously though. This is more than a mood, its a full personality trait.
if win butler likes cars even more than telephones, he should have sung "we know a place where no telephones ring" to appreciate the cars a bit more
THAT'S MY FAV COMMENT EVER.
Aleksandra Szewc Hey mine too, lets go for a drive if you too like cars more than telephones
I feel like this song actually fits really nicely with Looking For Alaska by John Green. Anyone else feel the same way?
ABSOLUTELY
YES
my lungs will phil and dan deflate your name is goals
has anyone read eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell? It wasn't nearly my favorite book, but this song reminds me so much of that relationship.
Johnni MCRX i have and i FEEL YOU
literally one of the best songs i've ever heard! fell in love with the voice and lyrics and just everything about it
Woke up thinking about this song
and i will wake up tomorrow morning thinking about this song too! life is good sometimes
where's my phandom trash at
Here, from illmakeuhowell's channel
here!
their edits are so amazing. I saw that and cried. im not even joking. my eyes are sweating.
Naga Pokala actually me lol
It's been a year but I still love this song and still cry lol help me pls
This really reminds me of Juno
Also phAN
❤
Tee Bee that's the exact video I was thinking of
no song could ever mimic the feeling I get from this one
“i’ve lost all my friends, but you’re the one i miss the most.” i can’t even put into words how much it hurts. it just hurts.
Being in love feels like this.
This song speaks to me so much. It's one of my favorites and I've listened to it like 30 times today
i sent this song to my ex, who i still love very much, along with a long paragraph about how much i love her. she hasnt responded yet so, wish me luck mates
Sam The Positive emo it’s been three weeks my dude did she reply yet
occasionally occasional ya, we're now dating 🙂
Sam The Positive emo omg yay!
Why did I just find this, this is like the cutest little love story ever
Y’all still together ? I really need to know
from what phan edit are u all here?
It's just called '❤️' by 'illmakeuhowell' and its my fave phan edit ahaha
+Lucy Smurthwaite omg this video is amazing thank you!
+Lubilamm isn't it, I love it! And you're welcome :)
+Lucy Smurthwaite my fave edit as well
+Aquaria The Earthling isn't it amazing/ super emotional
Can’t believe I got to hear this song live
I'm so beyond jealous. ❤❤
“I GOT A SONG FOR YOU TO SLEEP WITH TOO !! its a special song and ive never shown anyone else , iwanted to keep it to mytsekf because jts special to me and iddnt wanna ruin it with a memory of someone that could potentially be from the past butwith you , idont think we’ll ever break apart”
this makes me think of times that are inevitable, both near and far
almost nostalgic for the future
I'm here cuz of Dan & Phil
+Naomi Westside me too
Phan is love
Phan is life
IM CRYINH PLEASE DONT DO THIS TO ME ITS 12 AM
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY?
This song destroys me all over again every single time I hear it. God, it’s too fitting :/
This song, I would listen to when I was 14 at my cottage, and oh my god the memories it resonates when I listen to it now, trying to finish studying for an exam in university. Thank you Arcade Fire, for being able to take me back to those carefree days of childhood where you're on the verge of personal innocence and corruption. Oh what an amazing song and band.
can someone request me anymore songs that are like this, like the quiet /sad cozy guitar kinda sounding songs?
Yeah, me too
one song that i would recommend is called "Lua - Bright Eyes" :)
elizabeth mackin THAT SONG IS 10/10
Yeah. Check out Mojave 3, especially the albums Ask Me Tomorrow & Excuses For Travellers. If you dig that, check out their first band: Slowdive. Not quite the same, but similar vibe.
try an artist called crywank :D
My favorite arcade fire song
So good. I’ll always love this song
favourite song of all time. i hope the next time i come back to this i dont feel horrible anymore
coming back a week later to say im depressed and anxious more than ever and my cat is dying
i came from the edit everyone's talking about, maybe a year ago? this song has NEVER lost it's magic for me, no matter how many times i listen, i think this is my favorite song. ever.
It hurts so much to listen to this song though it is amazing because It reminds me of a best friend that has gone her seperate ways.... She was like my sister and sometimes I wonder what I did. But the problem is I havent gone my seperate ways. and I wish we could have what we used to have, she doesnt talk to me in her happy voice anymore. I dont know what to do without her sometimes. Yes I have other friends but she was special.......
i wish they released this i really want to listen to it on spotify :(
There are these 2 people who go to the same high school abroad. One is older by 2 years than the other one. Eventually the older gets dropped out of school because of their lack of attention and attendance. But they make sure the younger one go to school everyday and even drove them there.
A boss of a company spotted them while they were hanging out and asked to work with him. They agreed because then they could work together in their home country, so they flew back home together.
They enjoyed some amazing years until they decided that they are sick of their job and called it quit. Fast forward 16 years later, they met again in the same job in a better company. The older felt guilty for not being able to take care of the younger one during those years when they are apart, and they promise not to part ways anymore.
I want to end this story with them retiring in their old age and move together to a country where they first met, but sadly reality isn't that sweet sometimes. But here in this comment section i could always pretend...
Phan :'
same
Same
sAME
yes :''
same :'(
I'm so sad all the time but I didn't realise and this song helps me let some of it out. It's streaming down my face now
"And yes you're in my head
But that doesn't make you here..."
Remembered this song and got depressed again
This song will do it every time you hear it 🤷
this is my favourite song of all time, never gets old. and a different lyric hits me every time. i love this song so much
Absolutely one of my favorite songs! I probably listened to this song like over 10 times in a row!
I've loved arcade fire for 2 years now. how have I not discovered this song yet? my new favorite song now.
there are no words for this song it is too beautiful
"And I've lost all my friends, but you're the one I miss the most" ...gets me every time :'(
Such a talented Band with a diversity of songs, some how this one flies under the radar. I think its brilliant and 1 of their best
I love listening to this song every once in a while I’ve had it on my playlist for about 3 years now
I've been avoiding this song for over two years. Still can't listen to it without crying. It epitomizes the feelings I had/still have for the first- and only- person I've ever fallen in love with.
So many memories that need to be repressed.
took me a long time to come back to listen to this song, but i did it, and now i’m crying
They played this at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Michigan in 2018! My sister and I sang it word-for-word. I'm sure we were some of the only ones there who knew of this song. And they also played Deep Blue for the first time since 2010, which gave everyone chills. Forever my favorite band.
Wow I’ve listened to this song for so many years but it really feels different after heartbreak. Damn.
I think i'm in love with Arcade Fire, thanks Phan Edit ♥
Wish this was in better quality, but the low bitrate just makes it even sadder.
I really can't get over this song. It's so easy to relate to. By far my favorite band.
Simply beautiful.
it's been tHREE YEARS AND I STILL CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG
Found my comment 4 years later and I’m still listening
0:42
That picture makes me smile
"and yes you're in my head, but that doesn't make you here..."
♥
Such a deep and beautiful story and the whole song fits perfectly to the lyrics. Massive respect to Arcade Fire, lets hear more of this
i come back here too often
This song makes me cry, all these years later
This song means so much to me, what a gem
Bawling my eyes out.
I'd never thought I would never hear them play this live, but here I am. Can't believe they played it when i saw them
i love this song with my whole heart
Beautiful and nostalgic 🥲
