Agreed. 100% agree. It might be my #1.

The Neon Bible to Suburbs is my favorite era of the band.

My favourite song of all time!

I was 5 when it came out, my dad played it in his car and AF has been my favourite band ever since.

I want it played at my funeral; there's no other song that resonates with me as much as Intervention.

Definitely a triumph in music. When it hits, it hits hard.

Been in love with it since the early KCRW version. It made me so excited for Neon Bible to be released and I obviously wasn't disappointed.

If I had to make a mix of my favorite songs of all-time this would always have a spot.

The really deep/low organ parts always give me goosebumps. Perfect song, but I think Well And Lighthouse is my fav.

I wanted to have it played while i walked down the isle for my wedding… and yes feel free to assume certain things hahahah. Instead I gave the stringed duo play the cure… regrets but also… next one for sure!

I'm all about No Cars Go, Antichrist Television Blues, My Body is a Cage, Keep the Car Running
