Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) (Official Video)

This song makes me feel as if I were in a Norman beach, having fun.

Playing in the sand.

Then, a huge hurricane overtakes the sky. It starts trashing our belongings.

We flee in our 2000's red car, who was all the rage back then.

We ride it as the rain pours heavily on the glass windows of the vehicle.

(bass percussion)
Dum-dum-dum dum-dum-dum dum dum dum du-dum
You're as cold as ice
(bass percussion)
You're willing to sacrifice our love...

Saw them at Angoulême, France, à long time ago 😊 Amazing band, such a joy 🎉

Shadows jumpin all over the walls, some of em big some of em small -- the allegory of the cave

This song was released my freshman year of high school. It will always take me back. I love how the singer goes absolutely ape ship at the end of this song. “You ain’t foolin’ nobody, WITH THE LIGHTS OUT!!”

Love how you can look up fact about the song and see what the musicians were writing about. Didn't even know there was a big ice storm in eastern Canada in 1998

The lyrics were written by Butler and Chassagne along with former band member Deu and inspired by the North American ice storm of 1998 in Montreal, which left the city in a blackout for over a week.

The lyrics are mostly metaphorical and ambiguous, which has led to speculation as to what message they convey. The lyrics are dark ("Kids are dying out in the snow") and have a theme of hopelessness ("Don't have any dreams / Don't have any plans"). Butler acknowledges that the two used the outage "as a basis to start from, to talk about other stuff", and so there are many ideas addressed in the song.

Despite the pessimistic atmosphere, Butler has indicated that there are "two sides" to the lyrics, and it can be interpreted as "uplifting", noting the lyrics "And the power's out / In the heart of man / Take it from your heart / Put it in your hand." Says Butler: "If there's something f*cked up in your heart, you're going to put it in your hand as a sword."

fantastic..helped build the band's reputation as saviours of the album format.

Han pasado creo como 12 años y por fin recordé el nombre de la banda 😂, me gustó mucho este tema cuando lo vi en la TV. Por lo visto no fue una banda muy popular, pero si tú vieron canciones interesantes

looks like nightmare before christmas

A song i can listen when the power is out in my neighborhood

Like a Houston lineman getting hit in boulder in November

And just like that im 14 again. Where has 20 years gone ?

Is it just me or does the animation remind anyone of veggie tales a bit

"Cause nothing's hid from us kids"

Way too real.

the power is in fact out. glad my laptop is charged and i have hotspot. arcade fire lemme use elements of this song for a new song?

Just to let you know I talked to inventhelp today, arcade fire my soul brothers and sisters, we go for the critical hit, their pocketbooks-lord Adam

qué recuerdos!

Great song, fantastic video

Literally every single time there's a power outage somewhere I am, this song pops into my head 😂

First song and music video I ever seen and heard from them. Took me a couple of listens...I was a bit of a snob set in my ways and not giving new music a chance. Then Rebellion (Lies) came out, then I heard Wake Up...then I bought the album. Best album I'd heard in years. ❤

Funeral turns 20 today!

Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
I think I'll let you decide.

💜🔥 love at first hear/ experience years ago. “And there’s something wrong in the heart of man. Take it from your heart; put it in your hand….” At war within and outside

Welcome to Ted Cruz Mexico... sorry, Takas@

I remember listening to this song on music plus when I was a kid. Great song

A monumental song.

This looks like a bunch of cutscenes from a ps3 game

Who is here in 2025!

Listening to this while there's a snowstorm.

I always wanted to play a video game that was just like this video. Like the atmosphere with the snowy night and the sepia tone. Still my all time favorite music video.

This song still fucking slaps

Used to watch this on MuchMusic way back playback.
Was such a captivating music video when I was 12/13 at the time.
