No Cars Go

My brother James' favorite band is Arcade Fire.  He said he saw an Arcade Fire t-shirt I'd left home when I went to Brazil, and he got interested and got attached.  They just came out with a new CD.  Actually, technically, they will be coming out with a new CD tomorrow, but since James specially pre-ordered it, he got it today. So he's been listening to it most of the day.

I guess I'm getting old because I can't get myself as into new music as I used to be able to.  It used to be my life.  But when he was listening to their new album in my car, I just wanted to listen to their older albums, the ones I was used to.  We put in an older album of theirs, and we started listening to one of the best songs, entitled "No Cars Go."  I love that song.  I don't know what it is about it.  They sing a lot about the need for kids to stay kids in their hearts and not lose their imaginations.  I suppose thats something I've always agreed with, which might be part of why I like it, though it isn't just the lyrics that get me.

Some of it goes (and this is from memory, it could be incorrect.  If so I apologize) "There is a place where no planes go, there is a place where no trains go.  No cars go, no cars go, where we know. ... Us kids know, us kids know."

Its a longer song, the way I prefer it, and it goes into a change of pace and he starts to sing "Between the click of the light, and the start of the dream.  Between the click of the light, and the start of the dream."

I'm not sure why I'm sharing all this.  Maybe its because I'm currently between the click of the light and the start of the dream.  And I do love places where no cars go.
