爱华网虽然只出了三张唱片，Arcade Fire名下已有多首堪称伟大的作品，并先后成为其他音乐人翻唱演绎的热门对象。第二张唱片中的"MyBody Is ACage"就是其中一员。不是打榜单曲，也不是大热作品，这首放在专辑最后的曲目像一团在黑暗中炽热燃烧的烈火，给整张唱片画上了一个惊艳的感叹号，让人回味无穷。
在两年前，Devics的女主唱Sara Lov给这首歌献上了一个风味迥异的版本。单飞后的SaraLov很大程度上摒弃了在Devics里的锐气而转向投入流行民谣的怀抱，在演唱方式上也温柔随和了很多。这首翻唱作品也不例外。原作中充满戏剧张力的铺垫与爆发，在SaraLov的钢琴和弦乐下都被磨平了，原本那个升华感十足的结尾也被她处理得云淡风轻，颇有拨开云雾揽清月的韵味。
虽然与原作大相径庭，SaraLov的版本也不失精彩。翻唱本不是原翻不动地照搬和复制，必要的调整和再创造使之符合自身风格才是关键。从这个角度讲，SaraLov的演绎也算是对得起这首伟大的歌曲。
另附上这首歌的歌词，因为实在是写得太好了，值得细细品味。
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.
I'm standing on the stage
Of fear and self-doubt.
It's a hollow play,
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key.
Standing next to me.
My mind holds the key.
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head.
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key.
Standing next to me.
My mind holds the key.
My body is a...
My body is a cage.
We take what we're given,
Just because you've forgotten, that don't mean you'reforgiven.
I'm living in an age
Still turning in the night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight.
I'm living in an age,
Realizing I'm dancing
With the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.
You're still next to me,
My mind holds the key.
Set my spirit free.
Set my spirit free.
Set my body free.
Set my body free.
Woo!
Set my spirit free.
Set my body free.
Oh, oh. Oh, oh
