Arcade Fire BOUGHT A CHURCH to record their Neon Bible album.
It's beautiful. If you've been following this list you just knew I'd slip a song about God into the Top 25.
The whole album is inspiring and pessimistic, with characters that are confused and clear, apocalyptic and brimming with life.
From Intervention:
You say it's money that we need
As if we're only mouths to feed
I know no matter what you say
There are some debts you'll never pay
Working for the church
While your family dies
You take what they give you
And you keep it inside
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home
