A final clip is captioned âProof Iâm Alive⊠Still Here @arcadefireâ. All three appear to be part of the same track. Watch it below now.

Butler began sharing clips from the studio earlier this month when he previewed an acoustic snippet on his Instagram story. âSometimes it takes 20 years to write a song,â he captioned the post.
On the eve of his 40th birthday (April 13), the bandâs frontman shared a series of handwritten notes confirming that Arcade Fire are working on a new album. âWe had been exploring a lot of lyrical and musical themes that feel almost eerily related to what is happening now (we actually have a song called Age of Anxiety written a year ago for Christâs sake â ha ha),â he said of their writing over the last few years.
âNeedless to say, the writing has intensified, and the work is flowing out⊠It is challenging as ever, and with just as much purpose.â
Upon its release in 2017, NME gave âEverything Nowâ five stars, labelling Arcade Fire âbigger, bolder and more fearful of the future than ever.â
