1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) By: Arcade Fire
“You change all the lead sleeping in my head to gold
As the day grows dim, I hear you sing a golden hymn
It’s the song I’ve been trying to sing…
Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors, purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors over this heart of mine!”

And we’re changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again”

Anymore”
