About This Track

The Sprawl I (Flatland) Songfacts says: On this minor key piano lamenting change and modernization, frontman Win Butler revisits the town where he grow up. “I took a drive into the sprawl to find the house where we used to stay in,” he recalls. However, Butler fails to locate various childhood haunts that are imprinted on his memory.

    Everytime, it makes me feel a sadness that does not belong to me.

    "Well where do you kids live?" Well sir, if you only knew what the answer is worth. Been searching every corner of the earth. - This is so beautiful. This song is so beautiful.

    I didn't have to wait twenty years for this to happen to me. I left my childhood in young European suburbs 10-15 years ago.

    Also reminds me a little of Radiohead's 'Life In A Glasshouse'.
