Wake Up

by Arcade Fire

Wake Up cover art

Serves as a colossal, stadium-sized indie rock anthem featuring a soaring, wordless choir vocal that actively demands communal participation. The song's epic chamber-pop scope and themes of existential anxiety resonated deeply with a generation entering adulthood. Its sheer emotional scale famously led U2 to use it as their opening entrance music during the 2005 Vertigo Tour.
