LYRICS
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar,
And I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a glass
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight - เพลง

The world needs FUN now than ever, 2024
His voice is powerful and unique. The way he sings this song, can never be replicated. This is a classic that will withstand test of time.
U gotta listen so little mix version
HOW Janelle Monáe is not an international MEGASTAR is a f'kin mystery! .. Probably due to integrity and talent. She is bloody amazing!
Yeah shes an amazing actor too
2024 anyone?
No only 2030 here
Never left
Yeah
Still here 2024!
🤙
Nates voice is so powerful! Absolutely love him!
Hard to believe he actually has asthma. Kinda cool. Just love him and I’m 60 yrs old. Wonderful talent.
lisa reynolds and the black girl is astonishing 🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜💜

I also think this, I love Nates Roues!!!
I'm agree
That guy’s voice is so characteristic and loud that for the longest time, I didn’t even know Janelle was in this song.
his name is Nate Ruess
Sameeeee
Thor has entered the chat 👆
Na, perfect sync - if anything I'd want Nate twice-as-loud - he's the show/draw.
Janelle's fantastic as well.
.
@@FBI-tx2ox I was wondering where I heard his voice from and then I remembered he sung 'Just Give Me A Reason" with Pink
Almost 12 years later and this song still gets me higher than the empire state.
But we are not so young after 12y 🤭
I'm 72 and just ran across these younguns. They're GREAT and with their harmonies and the lead singer, they make me think of Roger Hodgson of "SuperTramp" from the late 70's until now.
suuuuuper, einfach toll............
I'm old, too, and YEEES!!
Love this
I am 78 and just discovered this also!!! now I have to look up Roger Hodgson lol I was busy raising seven kids and taking in cousins so the music was varied from Country , Journey ELO, and CCR my cousin introduced us to them! Keep on dancing!!
super!!!1000 Grüße aus BAYERN!!!
0% swearing
0% nakedness

You watch at 2020 congratilations
90 percent lyrics for those into the written word - unbelievable.

nakedness? you mean nudity?
My little girl used to sing this before she passed away! Wish she could of heard this version!!
May the angels carry it home to her.
Amber lamp labarge I‘m so sorry for your loss.
@@Anna-ju8fs thank you so much!! She was 13 and just left us way too soon!!
May her soul rest peacefully and you find real comfort
😥
What a masterpiece. The kind of song that will never expire . And Janelle’s teeth are out of this world.
They are crowns or veneers. Most likely crowns
I'm in awe of this performance. Their voices blend together so closely it's almost one voice. Perfect pitch and they each hit the runs flawlessly. And the band and everyone is so tight together. Amazing. You can tell they all have so much experience and talent. :)
I have no idea what those things mean, but I agree that they sound beautiful together.
Every time Nate smiles it stops my heart
Yeezus isn't that a little much
ElevatorsAwesome when it comes to Nate, nope lol
rosiegroovy
creepy and over the top much?
Literally! Me too
If that happens then why are you not in a hospital dead
Honestly think he has one of the best voices in the music industry that is alive at the moment.
For sure
What about in the music industry that's not alive at the moment?
+Genaro Suarez I will always remember Michael Jackson XD
+Homestuck Kawaii
Him and Bruno Mars.
+Atomic Bacon tyler? no plz
July 7, 2021. If you still watching this masterpiece... You're truly legend.
First time I’m hearing this version. I’m speechless 😮 Their voices go so well together 🥹
Good to see there are actually talented singers that could sound good even in concert
Nate is awesome in concert
talented indeed

I know what you mean. The search for real talent is hard these days cause some douche had to create autotune. Not that's bad but a lot of people who have no reason to be involved in music have cause an issue. But this has especially effect concert performances. So this is a breath of fresh air.
***** Agreed but auto-tune was originally developed to analyze/interpret seismic data. Better to place your blame on record execs where it's better deserved.
Eight years later and Miss Janelle hasn't aged a damn day!
Crystal Wolcott ikr
Absolutely gorgeous 😍.
If you're talking about them in this video, they are filmed in 2011
@@herosive8762 Yes, and if you add 8 to 2011 you get....?
@@crystalwolcott4744 yea I said if you're talking about their looks in this video, they are from 2011
Such a beautiful and powerful piece. The words are common to many ages in time but the voices of their youth and the strength of their desire makes the meaning transcendent and their message goes before them, indeed before the human race, as an anthem to beauty of life, love, and happiness
She deserves even more success than she has.
WTF, she is popular enough.
Well, she's started taking her tits out spontaneously, so those numbers will probably climb.
The little smiles between them are adorable dude..
No importa de dónde eres,ni que idioma hables,si eres hombre o mujer,joven o viejo,nos une el amor por la música ❤❤❤
And the synchronization was unbelievable
Wow does 10 years fly by
her skin looks so soft and perfectly clean
Mark Lopez lol
Kim Dun the magic of makeup, young man
Kim Dun I want to touch it
It's melanin, a blessing of dark skin.
diamond valley thanks to makeup ?
You know the singer is good when their live version is the same as the music video :3
like Brendon Urie or Melanie lol💘
you mean BETTER
George Kostadinov So true
no shit LMAO
My favorite version of this song, they sound so beautiful together :)
I don't care how old this song is now, I don't care how many times I've heard it, it's still beautiful
4 years later, this is still the jam
Stephen Sircy Good music has no age
+Stephen Sircy YEAH thats the jam :D FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN :DDDD hell yeah!
+Stephen Sircy 3 years later
+Stephen Sircy TRUE!!
I F**KING LOVE THIS SONG. Sorry I love this song.
I love how Nate and Janelle are stealing glances and smiles in between lines. Such as 4:21, where he smiles while singing "I'll carry you home..." Such a pleasant video with delightful voices. x
+Sora Akechi My exact thought!!
+Sora Akechi I like that, too; it's very cool. Her skin is simply pure silk. I'd give ANYTHING for skin like hers.
I know imma little late but yass girl every time they smile at each other I smile .....so cute 😍😍
Makes me sad they aint together
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
The fact that he can sit there in a trench coat and sing effortlessly, he's a special talent, I love his voice and energy. Masterfull
2011 was such a good fuckin' year...
It really was tbh like Coldplays Mylo Xyloto was amazing!
Michael White yeah one of my favorite years for music( if that makes sense)
Michael White Yes it was, my wife was still alive then.
don't forget about neon trees
marqevo sry for ur loss
You know you have a powerhouse voice when you're seated more than a foot away from the microphone.
the Mike's intimidated by Nate/Janelle. Does feel worthy.
An unworthy microphone who woulda thought.
.
OMG the two of them just sang a baby into existence it was just that powerful.
"foot" as in human foot?
unitedstateans will use anything but the international metric system
SYFTV1 because fun is an american band?
Most mics of this caliber could pick up even the softest of sounds. They have noise gates and things like that to pick up what you want them to. He definitely has a unique range and a powerful voice. Just you can hear that the mic's quality in the fact he doesn't move back or move forward to increase and decrease the pick up of the mic. He can just belt it and the mic will do the rest from the range he's at.
he sings effortlessly! it's incredible. he's incredible ❤
if you had all the paint and all the skills of the finest artist in the world i don't think you could paint Janelle any prettier,
I wish I had this talent. They look so happy doing it. I will continue to sing off pitch in the shower to this stuff. I am not ashamed. :)
Lol!
Never be ashamed of having music in your heart.
Captain Cinema Here here!!!! Truth !!!
So true~;-)
Keep doing it if you are happy about it! I would rather want to see something off pitch but happy, than vice versa..
You can tell Nate is impressed at 3:55, because god her voice game me shivers I bet he was feeling the same way.
Love this song, I've listened to it at least 50 times. I can't believe there are over 2,000 folks that don't like it.
I love the absolute joy and admiration on Nate's face when he watches Janelle sing.
Real Music with Real voices with words you can understand. Great choice with Janelle by the way, what a beauty and perfect voice. Stay Cool Nate, I know you will!!!!!!
Carol Tassin I agree with you!!! :)
Thanks John...............................:)
Carol Tassin i agree

Rebecca Black "Friday"
one of my favourite songs. picks me up.
I just ran across this on my feed !! I forgot about this song and i love Nates voice!!Janae did a great job on this duet with him.
Nate looked so delighted singing next to Janelle, every time he looked at her his face just lit up. Nate's cheerfulness and Janelle's grace made this perfect. #Over9000
She has the most beautiful skin. Where can I buy that? Lol goodness! Beautiful lady with a strong voice. Nothing better.
she's actually naturally beautiful😊
She has beautiful skin plus amazing white teeth.
Right! And don't believe the hype. Her IG is full of makeup-less pics. Her skin really is flawless.
I want her skin so bad. She's incredibly beautiful.
The vocals on this version give me chills all over..absolutely beautiful
His voice is absolutely fantastic 👍
And her voice is also fantastic 👍
We can burn brighter than the Janelles TEEEEEETH
holy man this is severely underrated
Impossible
No, we can't.
I still hear this song in march 2020 because i think “we are young” and miss FUN. So much :(
Us with good music taste must stick together, stay safe me fellow friend 🙏🏻❤️
All together now, bro! ♥️ Be safe!
Fun the band or fun the activity? I miss both. :(
Agreed. I wish Fun and Janelle would tour together.
Lol im slick wondering to myslelf mow, os 26 young? Idc I wanna burn 😂
The best part is the ending. No matter what stage we are at, I will always take you home. the whole song is amazing, but always having someone with you who will take care of you, no matter what, is the most important thing.
Sweet Jesus what a song by two VERY talented individuals. Beautiful!
I love when artist make acoustic covers. That really proves they can sing. Because in music video you can hide so many falses in your voice with use of sound processing
💕😘 this song
Karolina kuc yes...👍🏽👍🏽😉😉💪
Да.Это суперррр...Он певец от бога...
Sound processing?
You can do the same in acoustic, just because video says acoustic does not mean it is not touched or edited. Not saying this one is the case im just saying you cant really know for sure, find concert versions or any live preformances if you want to be 100% sure, and even then if they are skillful they can lipsync it
The Focus were all on
10%- Song
90%- Janelle's Teeth
Tbh
Yesssssss
That's racist.
@@greglr19751 ???
Lmao good stuff
Excepcionalmente bacán . Prodigiosa canción, Creo que lo han escuchado 6500 millones de personas.
Fckn fantastic song , great melody , great vocals , simply superb
You know what's so great
The normal version is almost the same
Not exactly
Live is better in my opinion
And of course...her teeth
I watch this song 65% for the song and 35% for the part where he sings "...I just thought.."
Me too over and over again!!!
I love how he just casually sing it like it's nothing ❤🥴
This song was played on the radio constantly around the time my youngest was born (April 2012); it was always stuck in my head, so I hummed it to her all the time, especially at night during feedings/diaper changes, though usually at a much slower tempo. Even now she still loves it ♥
well, you can be thankful, at least, that she has a GOOD taste in music!!
That is so sweet!
it's NOT sweet, it's TRUE!! 😊😉😊
Man she is beautiful.
April of 2016, still an amazing song, still missing Fun.
May
June
july , nah im from 2054
Me too...
They have to get back
Fabulous version of an already brilliant song.
The best songs on 2000's came to the world till 2012 and then disappeared together.
enough about the damn teeth, the performance was on point!!!
Lol
ahahah
Hell Yeah !!!!!
Yes, you are right
Jesus, I can see why pink wanted to sing with him, he is amazing
Wow, the two of them together, so much talent! Janelle’s beauty is mesmerizing 🥰
Indeed. Beauty voice and charisma for miles
Absolutely a beautiful woman.
Por no hablar de su voz cálida y ambos en conjunto suenan perfectos
Good lord, what a performance! This at least matches, if not beats, the original, which is a freaking AWESOME song.
Their voices compliment each other perfectly. I first heard this 12 years ago (ish) and I'm still here. Love it.
Wish this song was still just as popular, its so much better than the crap that's popular nowadays :3
True. It's just, still, it upsets me now because honestly I wish songs as good as this were still as popular. Believe me, I'm not someone who goes with the crowd, but wouldn't it be better to hear people singing this song rather than Nicki Minaj?
BlackCatBastet that's true
BlackCatBastet Well be thankful there are many alternative artists that were discovered and had a huge breakthrough during 2014. :) Tove Lo, Charli XCX, Hozier and many more
True :) Newer songs I like are more edgy and relatable than LOLLIPOP HUGS AND KISSES I LOVE U but I like good party songs like this that are not about booty :)

Literally one of the best songs. What a masterpiece
LIKE SERIOUSLY THEY'RE MAKING ARTTTTT
dido
ya mean didlo right
dilduh*
Never realised what a cute smile he has. Lovely version of this song.
This song reminds me of Good old days 😊😊😊😊I miss those days when we had dreams ,we were happy and everything was just .cloud number nine
Their teeth are brighter than my future o.o
And this is-sadly-true
Her teeth are brighter than Bill Gates future when he first made Microsoft.
Salina Bach her teeth are brighter than the sun.
+Salina Bach funny and original :D
+Salina Bach good copy paste :)
+Salina Bach she looks like she's wearing a boxers mouth guard
They’re so in sync that I can’t tell who’s the one singing. 😂
Both of them , Both of them...
As a relative newcomer to this song (I heard it in a Belgian horror movie) and found it. I am in awe of this performance, not many modern artists can sound so identical to the studio recording track. This guy has an amazing voice and what a song. The chorus gives me goosebumps for what reason I don't know and apologies to the female singer and her fans, I have no idea who she is but I am old so forgive me and also, what a voice and so beautiful. I can't stop listening to this. ❤
I am 79 and listen to this once a week
I LOVE THIS SONG❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Just listened again today for the 50th time, or more....great hit!
Me to
me too
Two singers who never needed auto tune to sound amazing.
Que harmonia!!
Damn, this song takes me all the way back to my young adult years. Back when I didn’t have a care in the world.
2016 and still an masterpiece.
a masterpiece
i know right
yes
Yes
Honestly think he has one of the best voices in the music industry that is
alive at the moment. #1eaSBHD2ssA

Primera vez que escucho esta bella canción, y me encantó.

She has such a picture perfect face. I love you Jennelle
Bradley Berger with shitload of make up and cleaned teeth to white everyone is perfect. Like a Barbie. ;)
She does!
she looks so happy ^w^
Amazing!
How can I just know about this song 1 week ago? I missed this masterpiece for over 10 years
I'm in love with Janelle. So amazing, so gorgeous. so talented. Just had to express this. Oh My God! She is so amazing!!!
Shes stunning
This band id definitely fun
Literally
Q
The first time I heard "We are young" in the summer 2012 on the paradise Pacific island of Guam. And I immediately fell in love with this song. It was a golden time. No Covid, just relaxation and enjoyment of life and nature. I want to go back to my 2012.

Almost 6 years and still cant comprehend how perfect those teeth are...
this dude can seriously be one of the top 10 vocalist in the world...with her OMG....genius

Janells voice in this song is so perfect. I just wish she sang I bit more 😁
They both seem like super sweet people. And loads of talent! This was so amazing, and dare I say better than the original?
Yes we are young
They are positively magical together. Amazing duo!!!
Que significa q me encanta pero no c que dice x favor 😟😟😟
Solo c q me gusta mucho
The way the tone changes when he says "subtle things" 😍
swapnil chaba yeah is just amazing!
It goes from regret and a bit of sadness to "why should I let them make me feel this way" and, just like the band "let's have fun".
swapnil chaba is

This version is enchanting. I’m not ashamed to admit that it brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it. I was and am filled with, almost overwhelming, emotions that haven’t surfaced in ...forever!? It’s about time my emos are jolted with something so purely amazing. Thank you to the artists who performed it. Not a lot of music has such an impact on me, this is definitely in my top five faves.
Janelle Monáe is one of the world's most beatiful people. Cheers!
Hadn't heard/seen this version of the song before today -- fantastic, they sound great together! I love that Janelle is showcased more in this version. 👍
7 years ago... and I still love this song lol
