Trivia
Interesting facts about Wake Up. By Songfacts.
This anthemic song deals with youthful naïveté and mortality. There is a call to action ("Children wake up!"), but it's rather abstract. What's undeniable is the power of the song in a live setting. A highlight from Arcade Fire's debut album, it quickly became a crowd favorite, typically played during their encore.
U2 used this track to emerge on stage during their 2005-06 Vertigo world tour shows.
The English Premier League soccer team Aston Villa used this as their entrance song at the beginning of the 2007-08 season.
