Interesting facts and trivia about Everything Now. By Songfacts®.

The title track of Everything Now, this was also the first song to be released from the record. Frontman Win Butler told BBC Radio 1's MistaJam about the song: "There's sort of an everything-nowness to life. I feel like almost every event and everything that happens surrounds you on all sides. Some of it is fake and some of it is real and some of it is trying to sell you something and some of it is profound. Every moment of everything refracts into a thousand different things. It's trying to capture some of the experiences of being alive now in all its flaws and all its glory. I remember being in a cafe once and I was overhearing this woman talking about watching The Sopranos and they had just finished watching The Sopranos, like they kind of binge-watched The Sopranos over a weekend. One of them was saying, 'Oh, it's so annoying that there's no more Sopranos. I guess I'm gonna have to find something else to watch.' This was maybe six years ago–five years ago and it just hit me that this thing that took ten years to make someone watched in a weekend and was annoyed there wasn't more. I was like whoa; I feel like culturally the moment and this kind of era that we've entered into of kind of everything-nowness has positive and negative sides to it but it's definitely a new way of being."

Arcade Fire are backed by the Harmonistic Praise Crusade, who are a New Orleans choir.

That's Patrick Bebey playing the pan flute. His part is based on the flute in "The Coffee Cola Song" by his father, the late Cameroonian artist Francis Bebey.
