Hear Will Butler's third new song written for the Guardian, You Must Be Kidding
|
Version 0 of 1. On this latest Arcade Fire tour I got to spend a couple of days in São Paulo. It was my first quality time spent in the city, and I loved it. Musician friends of friends showed us around. There’s a bonkers energy and, like most cities I love, a mind-bending blend of cultures. It was exhausting, mostly in a good way. I can’t wait to go back. Related: Arcade Fire's Will Butler: 'My goal in art is to be like Moby-Dick' The first time I went to São Paulo I was jet-lagged and relatively inexperienced with traveling. It was on the Funeral tour. I think we spent a day and a half in town, most of it inside the hotel which was behind a high fence with razor wire and armed guards outside. It was a weird, intense scene, that hotel. I bet that hotel will figure out a way to get water no matter how low the supply gets. |
