This is my favorite song from Arcade Fire's Funeral album so I just had to learn it. Régine's singing brings so much power and emotion to the song, and rightfully so, since the lyrics relate to the death of her mother (which could also have some meaning behind their album title).
Note: I played the verses legato, even though they are relatively staccato in the actual song. I tried it both ways and I found that I liked the legato version more. Also, you'll notice that I gave it my own ending since theirs just fades out. :-P
I taught myself this by ear in one night, so it's not perfect, but I'm happy with the outcome. No sheets for this one, sorry.
* The camera shaking at about 3:56 is my cat's fault. (-_-)
