Anyone spending 30 seconds watching Six Feet Under will know how successfully death and humour come together in a funeral parlour. The Arcade Fire also know a thing or two about death, and while Funeral wasn’t an album high in the Red Nose stakes, their gigs reveal a sense of the absurd, what with all that helmet bashing percussion.
So getting The Arcade Fire to write a song for the show’s soundtrack wasn’t a massive stroke of genius, but the idea is so soothingly brought to life you have to thank the soundtrack compilation gods for getting it done. Cold Wind is less Neighbourhood # 3 (Power Out) and more Une Annee Sans Lumiere in pace and atmosphere. An acoustic guitar gently echoes Wim Butler’s singing, and the words (“lay some flowers on the grave stone”… “and if they ever find me tell the papers”) are ominous enough: the narrator ain’t popping out for a takeaway. A great single in the tradition of Funeral.
