Congrats @j_j_strong and happy Book Launch Day for #uskidsknow #skylightbooks

This month ten years ago Neon Bible was released to the world! 2007 was the year I discovered several of my favorite bands, but this album right here introduced me to the genius of Arcade Fire. I remember listening to "My Body Is a Cage" for the first time on my old desktop; I still get chills when the drums hit at the end. I still butcher the French parts of "Bad Waves/Bad Vibrations" but you bet your ass I will sing it with as much gusto as Regine had recording it. I know it's cliched to say that an album changed your life, but Neon Bible fucking changed my life. It came at a moment in time when I needed an emotional outlet. The bloody honest lyrics and cry of the church organ can never be repeated, nor would I wish them to be. Neon Bible is one of a kind. This album and The Suburbs are the markers of my teenage identity whilst Reflektor and future music continue to shape my adult life. Here's to another ten years Arcade Fire. #youneverforgetyourfirst #arcadefire #neonbible #uskidsknow

The crickets outside my window sound like the bells in Laika. But in particular my fave part of this vid is simply the girls tuning their violins at the very beginning. 😍🎻 I’m gonna go to Coachella someday. Dammit. ❤❤❤
