day 259: Rebellion (Lies)

Rebellion (Lies), by Arcade Fire.

Needed to get some feelings out, and this song is a great vehicle for that sort of thing. We’ve seen Arcade Fire live now three times, and Lies is a feature every time, with Will Butler careening around the stage smashing a drum, and an arena’s worth of people singing along to the hard and easy parts.

As demonstrated here, my voice is better at the easy parts than the hard parts, but this was a fun one. Left both the phone track and the microphone track in this time, because it sounded a little richer, and added, uh, more vocals. Plus the MIDI bass synth and imitation Will Butler drum thing.
