"Intervention" is a song by Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire. It is the second single released from the band's second full-length album, Neon Bible. The single was released on iTunes on December 28, 2006 and was released May 21 as a 7" vinyl in the UK under Rough Trade Records. In the US, it was released on July 10 under Merge Records. The B-side of the vinyl includes a cover of another song from Neon Bible, "Ocean of Noise", performed by Calexico. It became a single of the week on Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie's 8pm show on BBC Radio 2.[citation needed]
"Intervention" currently holds the number eighteen spot on Rate Your Music's Top Singles of the 2000s. It was also voted song of the year on Tony Fenton's radio show on Today FM in Ireland. It also ranked as the #2 single of 2007 on CBC Radio 3's year-end R3-30 chart, behind only The Weakerthans' "Civil Twilight".
Arcade Fire performed "Intervention" on Saturday Night Live on February 24, 2007[1].
[edit] Error in release
"Intervention" was set to be released on December 26, 2006 as a charity download for the Haitian charity organization Partners in Health. When the band was uploading the song however, they accidentally uploaded "Black Wave/Bad Vibrations", another song from their album Neon Bible. "Black Wave/Bad Vibrations" was removed shortly thereafter and "Intervention" was properly uploaded two days later.
