“My Body Is A Cage” by The Arcade Fire
From the album Neon Bible (2007)
“My Body Is A Cage” by The Arcade Fire appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2013. It was first released in 2007 on the album Neon Bible. Its best result is #730 on the WXPN 885 Greatest Songs of the New Millennium (2013).
Arcade Fire wrote, arranged and produced "My Body Is a Cage" as a band, and it's on Neon Bible, the Canadian group's second studio album, which Merge put out in March 2007. The record was made mostly in a church the band had bought and renovated in Farnham, Quebec, and this song has a church-sized feel to match, with a guest choir of Shauna Callender, Joanne Degand, Chantel Gero, Tasha Gero and Jean Sherwood lifting it up. Markus Dravs and Scott Colburn recorded it, and Nick Launay mixed it with the band.
Neon Bible drew wide acclaim, though Rolling Stone and Uncut found its grandeur distant and overblown, and it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, the band's highest-charting album at the time.
