We Are Young-Fun.

Yeah you are and you’ve also made the teenage anthem of the year with one of the more pleasantly surprising hits this year in one Fun’s, “We Are Young.”

There’s a lot that’s been said about this tune and while it’s been out for quite a while you really couldn’t escape its immense feeling of larger than life feelings of one drunken night on the town no matter what format of radio you were listening to and it really was the catapult for this band becoming something worth knowing and while I did prefer Some Nights more I couldn’t really help but rank this one higher for being the tune that started it all and I’m sure is going to be their set closer for years to come or until they feel like pretending their Radiohead.

Some Nights-Fun

It’s nice to see that these guys have managed to follow up the epic that is, “We Are Young,” with a tune that honestly caused an even crazier fan reaction when I saw them live and a good showcasing of who were honestly the breakout act of the year.

This song is in one word epic it’s a larger than life rocker that just demands a stadium full of people singing along and every word to it tries it’s best to insinuate something more than it actually is and while I can totally dig that it’s its best strength and weakness in all honesty, although admittedly I do have to say that it’s not worn out like the tune that broke them out and I do love singing along but it’s less a breakout and more a trying to stay relevant if that makes any sense, but still one of the best of the year.
