We told you just 2 days ago that our rock n roll corazones were palpitating at a high-speed rate after finding out that new legend alternative act Arcade Fire were on the verge of releasing one of our favorites tracks in all of 2017 (Found Here)! Now we can finally say it's here! It's here! Read all about it! It's finally here. We can't quite spinning and this will definitely serve as a lifelong soundtrack to the scrapbook of our memories.
According to our sources...
"Arcade Fire live premiered the double music video Money + Love (for the Everything Now tracks "Put Your Money On Me" and "We Don't Deserve Love," respectively) at New York's Gramercy Theatre as part of Spotify's Fans First series.
The evening started with a brief -- and charmingly awkward -- audience Q&A moderated by director Spike Jonze, during which fans could ask the band or music video director David Wilson anything at all (questions ranged from favorite ice cream flavor to March Madness brackets, to which Win replied, "I don't have time to watch college basketball") as they sat on navy blue suede couches surrounded by large plants. You guys didn’t pay for this, right?” frontman Win Butler questioned with a wry smile.
The two-part film plays into the corporate concept that overshadowed much of Everything Now's album rollout, as it sees the band coming to Collette -- a higher-up at the Everything Now Corp. -- seeking to be saved from bankruptcy. Collette then introduces the band to it's new game plan, complete with wacky promotional items like branded cereal boxes and gigs in casinos.
All the while, both songs' meanings seem to shift; the lyrics no longer address a romantic partner as the line, "Put your money on me" comes across as a plea to the industry, while the lyric, "If you think I'm losing you you must be crazy" appears aimed at longtime fans. And when the video transitions into "We Don't Deserve Love," Win is shown walking alone on a desert road while the rest of the band has quite literally been brought down by the corporation." - Billboard.com
