175. Where The Wild Things Are

Check out this trailer for the new Spike Jonze flick. There's something so wonderfully exuberant and magically about the entire thing, makes you kinda feel like a kid all over again. Love it already! Now check out the full masterful song from the trailer here from Arcade Fire. The song's called Wake Up, and it's probably one of the greatest songs you've never heard. Just stirs that wild thing sleeping inside you don't it? Raise hell!

"Somethin’ filled up
my heart with nothin’,
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I’m older,
my heart’s colder,
and I can see that it’s a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don’t grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We’re just a million little gods causin rain storms
turnin’ every good thing to rust.

I guess we’ll just have to adjust.

With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am goin’ to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am goin’
With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am go-goin’

You better look out below!
