In an earlier post, I recommended Sia’s “Breathe Me,” which I first heard on the final episode of “Six Feet Under.” That song is also on the Six Feet Under, Vol. 2: Everything Ends soundtrack. Another fine song on the disc is “Cold Wind” by The Arcade Fire. Normally, artists provide throwaway tracks for these sountrack collections, but “Cold Wind” is a track that would easily be in the top 5 songs on the band’s breakthrough, Funeral. The first two minutes are appropriately somber, with Win Butler’s vocals set against an acoustic guitar, but the track breaks out at the 2:11 mark with a “hey hey hey!” If you liked Funeral, find this track.

Ike Reilly must be sick of love songs. There can be no other reasonable explanation as to why this track exists. Released on the band’s latest album, Junkie Faithful [Bullz-Eye Review], this song is the anti-love song. Whereas most songs talk about how people are going to be there for one another, forever, this song warns the listener that they will surely be disappointed.

It’s got a great, catch Wilco feel accentuated by Reilly’s updated-Bob Dylan vocals. This is addictive stuff.
