Hello everyone, welcome to my first edition of "Song of the Week," a weekly special where I'll be sharing a song that's been stuck in my head all week, a recent musical discovery, or a song I think should gain some attention. This week, my pick is...
Some Nights by fun.
If you haven't heard this song by now, it's the follow-up single to the band's single We Are Young. This title track is my personal favorite on the album (which, by the way, is one of my favorites of the year) and it's slowly making it's way up the charts (currently, it is #4 on iTunes and #14 on the Billboard Hot 100). In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, band member Andrew Dost said the band "sort of knew where the song was going in our heads, but when we recorded it, it wouldn't make any sense until it was completely done." Indeed, the song is a roller coaster, equal parts foot-stomping anthem, passionate ballad, and Auto-Tone falsetto riffing. The song is perfect for rolling down the windows in the late summer and screaming into the sky, or for analyzation of powerful lyrics, including "My heart's breaking for my sister/and the con that she called love/and then I look into my nephew's eyes./Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from some terrible lies." If you aren't already in love with this song like I am, give it a listen and check out the official video posted above. Already a fan of the song? Check out the rest of fun.'s second album, Some Nights, available on iTunes and in stores, it is definitely worth a listen.
