Roughly a week ago myself and my officemate @moneyries heard what I believed was the song Half Light II (No Celebration) off the Arcade Fire’s new album The Suburbs. And we loved it. I was bounces around the office going “move to the city, come back home, move to another city” and no one knew what I was so jovial about, and I didn’t really care. To hear it, go to VC guy’s Fred Wilson’s radio station FredWilson.fm and check out track 11.

Earlier this week, NPR launched a stream of AF’s new album The Suburbs, much to my chagrin that tune was not part of the album’s stream, but a different version was. To sample that version, allow me to present the Arcade Fire performing it live two nights ago at Madison Square Garden.

It’s highly evident that this is the real Half Light II (No Celebration). The remarkable thing to me is that each version could be the best song on The Suburbs.

Well, we’ve tried everything we could think of to figure out what exactly that other song is. We shazam’d. We Googled “Move to the city, come back home, move to another city.” We tweeted, clearly. To no avail.

Any suggestions? Anyone in the know? This is new territory to me – liking a song and not knowing what’s it called. Hell, it might not even be Arcade Fire after all, though it sounds like them. It’s kind of driving me nuts.
