John Legend & The Roots - "Wake Up" (Arcade Fire cover)

a great twist on the song, especially at the end; but doesnt quite live up to the original.

cleaner studio version:

SIDENOTE: at Osheaga 2009 i actually saw The Roots not knowing who they were, but being pleasantly surprised by their contagious energy and performance. and then the next year at Osheaga 2010, Arcade Fire was the saturday night headliner and guess what song they closed the show with: Wake Up. (Coincidence? Potentially.)
