Neon Bible

Today, seven years ago, indie rock band, Arcade released its second studio album entitled, Neon Bible. The album is centered around themes of war and the state of the United States during that time.

Songs like the gloomy (in a good way) "Windowsill" and the short title track,"Neon Bible" perfectly showcase this theme. However, a song like "My Body Is A Cage" focuses on a completely different theme. The track discusses social anxiety and uncertainty. "My body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one I loved but my mind holds the key," sings Butler throughout the song.

Just like all Arcade Fire albums, the theme of youthfulness is present. During the band's live show, the song "No Cars Go" is a fun anthem for any type of audience. In the song, Butler refers to himself and his band as kids. "Us kids know/ No cars go/ Where we know," sings Butler during the bridge of the song.

This album can also be credited with bringing indie rock music into the mainstream, and for that the band should be recognized for.
