day 129: My Body Is A Cage

My Body Is A Cage, by Arcade Fire.

This song was on the list early on. As noted earlier in the project, Arcade Fire is a family favorite. I end up mumbling this to myself on days my back aches, or my feet, or my knees, or I’m just feeling my age, but I can still dance with the one I love.

I’ve also just learned there’s a Peter Gabriel cover of this, and it’s shown up in video game and television soundtracks, because of course it has. (It’s a bangin’ arrangement, too.)

Had to have some sort of organ, had to have a little guitar solo. The ending is a bit “hmm, don’t quite have the range for this” and then the main recording cut out a little early. It’s almost like storing 129 songs-worth of video on your laptop is unwise.
