This Heart's on Fire

All good things must come to an end, right? Knowing this, I shouldn't have been so naive to think that one of my favourite bands of all time, Wolf Parade, would be around forever. The group went on an indefinite hiatus on May 30th. Heartbreaking, I know.

On the bright side (if there is a bright side) at least their last show was in Vancouver at the Commodore. On the very bright side, at least I was at the show.

Having seen them play before, I knew going into this that it would be fantastic, which it was. That being said... was it just me or did the whole thing seem kind of... sad? It was like the band knew this was it and I could hear the mourning in the music.

It was a short night for me as I was sick the day of the show, but from what I hear, they played all of their classics well into the night/early morning. This Heart's on Fire, I'll Believe Anything, Kissing the Beehive, Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts, What Did My Lover Say, You are a Runner and I am my Father's Son, and the list goes on and on until the show ended with Bob Dylan's Knockin on Heaven's Door. The complete setlist can be found here.
