It sounds like an Arcade Fire song IMO

TwistedPolitik · 21-08-2011, 11:06 PM

Hurts Like Heaven reminds me of the song Keep the Car Running by Arcade Fire. Not saying they stole it, it just really reminds me of it. Can anyone else hear it?

Major_Love · 22-08-2011, 12:18 AM

We never denied that there is a strong Arcade Fire touch, yeah.
But as a Arcade Fire fan too I have to say that this song is much better than everything from Arcade Fire - but thats only a opinion of me.

There is the Arcade Fire DNA, yes.

howyousawtheworld · 22-08-2011, 12:32 AM

Same tempo and stuff. Big Arcade Fire fan as well (seeing them a week on Thursday!) but I have to admit, Hurts Like Heaven is just a much much better song than Keep The Car Running. It's great even! Fucking great!

And I honestly believe that you can't read.

After that sentence I wrote "But thats only my opinion".

You can believe that Arcade Fire make better songs, your opinion don't mean anything for me.

Maybe you should go back to school and learn how to read?!

I'm sorry but "any" Arcade Fire songs? It's better than most in my opinion. Arcade Fire are great, but I don't think they're so great where you'd choose to listen to every Arcade Fire song over Hurts Like Heaven. For a start no Arcade Fire song has the beat and momentum or poppy nature HLH. I know Coldplay have their fare share of fanboys/fangrils, but I never knew Arcade Fire had them as well as shown by your post!

Juanma · 26-08-2011, 06:22 PM

what?

this song?

The Only similar thing is the drum beat

pretty boring song compared With HLH

Mark · 26-08-2011, 06:29 PM

YES!

First thing I said when I saw it on tele at Glasto was Arcade Fire. It's no secret they're admirers.

As for the KtCR Vs HlH... They're entirely different songs. I'd say Keep the Car Running meets Ready to Start is a perhaps a sharper comparison.

.

oh my god. Even if it's an opinion, you're saying this about a live song

you don't even know how the studio version sounds like.

JackZ · 27-08-2011, 12:16 AM

^So? He meant that this song, in it's current state as far as he or any of us have heard, is in his opinion better than any Arcade Fire song. Maybe later he'll revise that to "HLH live is better than any arcade fire song" but I really don't think it matters that we don't have a studio version yet...

Just saying, not trying to be rude or anything

Thanks JackZ.

You don't want understand that there are people who like the new stuff, right, Lore?

Lore · 27-08-2011, 04:58 PM

Yeah I do, but I only do it when people use decent reasons

. You said that a live song, a song we've never heard in its studio version is better than any song of a very successful band (and a great band). It just sounds blind!

He just said that the song is better than any AF song, we can put words on his mouth

And yeah, no problem

admnistramation · 27-08-2011, 05:39 PM

You must not know Arcade Fire very well, or what Neon Bible and the songs on it stand for.

That's what I was thinking too.

And I don't really hear much of a similarity. . .? Haven't really listened closely though.

Come on, why you talk about live or studio versions. Until now we have not any studio version so why I should refer to them?

I think everybody knows that I talk about the latest versions we have - and there are only live versions.

Sorry, but it is so stupid!

Of course I meant that Hurts Like Heaven (of course the live version, because there isn't any other version of HLH until now) is better than any Arcade Fire song in my honest opinion - but thats a matter of taste and I always wrote that! Despite I'm a big fan of Arcade Fire and saw them live.

Oh no. The albums do fine but now all the rock awards are going to ed Sherran (who i do not like!) :/
