Musical Inspiration: No Cars Go

Every once in a while there comes a song that gives you and unexplainable rush of feelings and emotions all built into one beautiful selection of musical melodies and lyrics. For me this song (and many other) Arcade Fire songs does just that.

Many people have interpreted this song in many different ways. For me I listen to it and think that we all know that there are places in our lives that we don’t venture towards because we are scared of what that means or the possibility of what could happen. It’s between the click of the light and the start of a dream where we get held up, that’s where no cars go because we’re too afraid of the unknown. So for me this song is an inspiration to take risks and push myself to places that I find scary and foreign, to venture where no cars go.

We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go
Hey!
No cars go
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know

We know a place where no spaceships go
We know a place where no subs go
Hey!
No cars go
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know
Hey!
Us kids know
Hey!
No cars go

Go!
No go!

Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream

Little babies?
Let’s go!

Women and children?
Let’s go!

Old folks?
Let’s go!

Don’t know where we’re going
