RIP Sam. I will never forget you. You, the marine with horrid PTSD, and me surviving domestic violence, child abuse, and my dad dying… coming back together as best friends after all we had survived. I will forever remember you when I hear this song. We helped each other to not end our time here. And now you are gone. I love you so much and you were an amazing man. Heaven is so lucky. ❤
“My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she calls 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.” Forever my favorite part of the song.
Ytboi Western Yes, the sudden spike in vocal editing towards the end of the song was a very interesting creative choice, almost as if reminding us that despite the less-then-contemporary instrumentals and content of the music video, this song was nevertheless made in modern times. Listening to it was strange at first, but it grew on me on repeated listens. Fun. is truly a very interesting band, in a very good way.
😢my memories about this song are very profound. The same year it was released my first daughter was born. I was stl in my early twenties at the same time I was busy with my PHD. Eventually becoming a Dr in 2015 and I played this song during my graduation ceremony. Today my daughter is a teenager, with another daughter and son, married their mom. We both recently graduated for our MBA's with me becoming a CEO in one of the very top companies in SA. Thanks for the great music. Im in my mid 30s. Pls drop another one before I get to 40yrs. 🎉
This song made me realize that we will really have bad days and nights but it is alright, just make sure that when you wake up, you will keep on fighting and striving to become the best version of yourself. So, to all the people reading this, I wish you all the happiness and best things in life!!!
I saw these guys open for dashboard confessional when “aim and ignite” was the only release they had. Fell in love with Nate’s vocals. Just an incredible singer. And it never dawned on me, through “aim and ignite” and this release, that it was Nate from The Format. This song is incredible. Both albums are incredible. The Format was incredible. And Nate Ruess is an incredible musician. Period. This was the end of truly beautiful music. Nothing has been close to this since it came out.
@@vespine1749 Things will always happen, where do i get my $100 dollars? See, that's stupid. Don't make life about money if it's not about money. i know life is love, and to love is to live. i will not be your enemy, but it is your choice if you want to be my friend. Of course you can be my friend, you don't even need to ask my permission. Though experience has taught me, i am hard to be friends with. i will always care about the well being of others, that is what someone who truly loves does. Happy Sunday to all of us, even you and me three.
That shifting expression on the soldiers face before he heads off to war at 4:08 always moves me. Great acting in a powerful video that elevates an already great song.
@@margarethall7837 Nate wanted to go solo, not very successful tho This seems to be always the case for nate, he doesn't have that requirement/charm of a solo singer, most of his extremely popular songs are from bands or features
I sang this in Afghanistan when i was terrified once. Now seeing the video years later the war depiction is so ironic and blows my mind. It calmed me as I moved through the danger. 2ndBat75th RLTW! ATW
@@awesomeness5719 nate recently did a song for a netflix movie and his first band (the format) had a single come out a few months back and teased some stuff about another album. i believe jack is still making music too!
This song has always given me the chills.... It just hits that kinda way when you know exactly what that feeling is... most nights I don't know anymore.
@@perning6070 even though the American Civil was a pretty dark part of history, this song and video makes it a lot more brighter although it has its dark moments. Too bad this band ended.
6 of us from my choir were chosen to sing this in a competition years ago. They chose us cause apparently we had ‘powerful’ voices to match the high energy of the song. And still to this day, it’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever performed and gives me such nostalgia to happier times. Oh and we won the competition :)
So awesome. I remember performing so many times as just another voice in the choir, but still feeling the power and energy rolling like a wave through the group as we sang together... I may never have been outstanding, but together we made a mighty sound. Glad you have such great memories of not only choir, and your performance, and winning, but also this song. :):):)
Edit- anyone who is looking for an updated list go to viva la vida and check comments. Most nostalgic songs Fun- Some Nights Fun- we are young- the Lumineers Olw city- Fireflies The Lumineers- Ho Hey Avicii- Wake me up Passenger- Let her go Gym class heroes- Stereo hearts American authors- best day of my life Pibull- Timber The black eyed peas- I’ve got a feeling Avicii- Hey brother Sam smith- Stay with me Lukas graham- 7 years Bastille- Pompeii OneRepublic- Counting Stars The wanted- Chasing the Sun Foster the People- Pumped Up Kicks Phillip Phillips- home M83- Outro (nostalgic even if you've never heard it)
I send this video periodically to my friend Hugh who did reenactments for years. It has a lot of meaning to me and it means something different to him. I love it.
@@pisces1017 We used to participate in Civil War reenactments and my oldest son still does. My middle son just sent me this video on Veteran's Day. What a tear jerker. 💔
A hundred years past... and my brother and I still haven't discovered the new fun. Although other bands are rising, they have a lot to learn before they can save anyone, but I think Fun can save the world..
As a combat soldier that fought in several theaters and retired from the US Army this song literally speaks to me and at the age of 71 I still don't know what I stand for.
To anyone reading this, please don't take your loved ones for granted. I lost my mom in May, and even though I was there for her through her whole battle with cancer, and always reminded her of how much she was loved and appreciated... Every day I think of things I wish I could tell her. And although I know she understood how we all felt about her, I feel like I didn't say it enough, My point is, just go tell your parents you love them. Or your siblings, or your spouse, or whoever you are closest to in life. Because you may not get the chance to say it tomorrow. Make sure everyone around you knows that you love them.
I've been losing alot quit lately my grandma died from cancer in April and one of my friends sons committed suicide and I haven't seen her since so I know the feeling and I'm sorry for you
God has landed me here after weeks of frustration searching for this song!!! I needed this song to remember how I overcame one of the toughest and lowest moments of my life. It's 2am in Nairobi. After weeks of trying to remember this song, I finally find it. And sleep a happy man 😊😊😊
Omg same. This song was played at a friend’s funeral and I heard it playing in a store recently and have been trying to find it for ages. Have now added it to my playlist
yeah, no music today compares to music of the 00s ... this album was one of the last great albums in the sort of passion, emotion based pop-rock stuff that was super popular in the early to mid 00s (this album dropped in 2012, I believe)... I struggle to find music I connect with nowadays, and it sucks.. I know it still exists. it's just that you really have to hunt for it. it's not in the mainstream... this entire album is really great though... and they were amazing live on new years eve in new orleans several years back. such a memory standing out in the rain watching them perform.
@@stephanieesea i’ll check it out. so far, the only modern stuff i like is like bring me the horizon (and they were around during the 00s.. i just happen to like their recent stuff too)… and some random artists like poppy, for example. xD but i don’t have the money for subscription services, so i find it difficult to find new music. any recommendations are appreciated, so thanks. :)

Hello, how are you? well my honest and sincere apologies for invading your privacy abruptly. Well I was scrolling down my updates when I came across your beautiful profile, that’s why I sent you a message
@@nataliaflecha3529 what’s funny is I truly had no idea who that was until after I wrote this comment and started googling. Listened to Bleachers after that for a good 2 hours lol
@@Melgizelle I've underwent the same process, firstly discover Bleachers, then Fun's first album and them The Format. Jack Antonoff and Nate Ruess are the geniuses of our generation.
ZamaBomvu ngubane Most meaningful? I remembered the TH-cam comments back in 2012 and they said 2000 to 2008 are the most meaningful songs, I mean what am I suppose to believe if they keep saying music was better 2 years ago all the time, that's not even so old.
ZamaBomvu ngubane If you look at this on an overall scale then the largest amount of 'meaningful songs' (songs that were about something other than shallow shit like getting laid, making money or general silliness that makes little to no sense) were definately written in the 1960's and 1970's. Even the 1980's had a higher general message value in their songs than what we get today.

I first listened to this song when I was 11, I’m 18 now and I’m glad I wondered around TH-cam to listen to this song once more. A piece of advice I learnt over the years, make as many memories you can with the people you hold close to your heart because we can’t really choose the ones we keep. Fly high dad, keep watching over me🙏🏾
"May 17. We awoke with the dread of knowing that the day would be spent in battle, yet savoring the dread in case it be our last morning. Our commander tried to buoy our spirits with encouraging words, but found himself asking again and again what he stood for, and sowed more confusion than relief. The fighting was long and fierce, and lasted into the night, but at last the battle ebbed and we stood victorious, thanks to our commander's strong singing voice and the intrepid piano player." - Elisha Hunt Rhodes

What happened to the band? I thought the exact same thing about their being the new Queen. I also hear a very strong Fleetwood Mac inspiration throughout the album.
This song is WILD!!! The way he is delivering the lyrics...the passion, controlled rage, it's insane! The musicality of it all OMG, the drumline, the electric guitar, the xylophone, CRAZY! There's nothing like good music!❤

I remember my grandad playing this song when we were driving home late at night, when I was terrified of my homelife. he'd sing along and make me forget it all, even if it was just for the short ten minute drive. It was his favourite song that wasn't made in like...the 60's, he's never liked modern music. I reminded him of this song's existence the day he rang the cancer bell, I'll love this for all *eternity*
The first time we heard this group was late at night on Saturday Night Live. Ron and I immediately ordered the CD. Every song on it was, and still is, unforgettable; Songs that bring us to attention, that make us alive, that make us question and inspired. But this one - "Some Nights" is an incredible anthem which reaches out to the core of anyone whose has ever pondered/wondered about their existence.The video is beyond rattling, it is hauntingly visceral.

Back when I first watched this video, I thought that both men were the same person, just at different ages. Now I realize the more heartbreaking reality is that one was killed by the other. Both on opposite sides of the war, but both at peace before it started. Honestly it made me tear up. We like to paint a lot of wars in history as “us vs them” but forget that most people fighting on either side are just common people who were made to fight.
@Oakley Louis: Thas a good observation. In ww1 during Christmas German and allied troops in the trenches put down their guns and joined each other for Christmas and gift swapping and drinking and smoking together pretty much little nick nacks they had on them for gifts. After Christmas, they went back to shooting each other.
You forget one important difference, this was a civil war. Not only are they common people who were made to fight, they were often neighbours to each other. Civil war is unlike most wars, in that it gets intensely personal and very, very bloody before it ends.
SuperLemonadeGamer We Are Young isn't totally all about getting plastered and partying. But a part of what you said is true because the song is kinda inspired from the lead vocalist's worst drinking experience.

I saw these guys open for dashboard confessional when “aim and ignite” was the only release they had. Fell in love with Nate’s vocals. Just an incredible singer. And it never dawned on me, through “aim and ignite” and this release, that it was Nate from The Format. This song is incredible. Both albums are incredible. The Format was incredible. And Nate Ruess is an incredible musician. Period. This was the end of truly beautiful music. Nothing has been close to this since it came out.
You know a song isn't dying when you still see comments of a few days ago.

Thank you
Or one from today
Because this song is pretty much timeless. I’ll probably still be listening to it when I’m 25 to lol.
Just rediscovered it about a week ago, and I can’t stop listening to it.

Nothing's gonna happen. If anything does I will give you 100 dollars
LMFAO
@@vespine1749 Things will always happen, where do i get my $100 dollars? See, that's stupid. Don't make life about money if it's not about money. i know life is love, and to love is to live. i will not be your enemy, but it is your choice if you want to be my friend. Of course you can be my friend, you don't even need to ask my permission. Though experience has taught me, i am hard to be friends with. i will always care about the well being of others, that is what someone who truly loves does. Happy Sunday to all of us, even you and me three.
That shifting expression on the soldiers face before he heads off to war at 4:08 always moves me. Great acting in a powerful video that elevates an already great song.

But we all die alone, whenever your family or friends die, did you follow them die along? Haha this is just a joking ok heh😅
Can’t believe they just came, gave us this amazing music and disappeared.
You can thank Nate for that
Where did they go....
They left a legend
@@margarethall7837 Nate wanted to go solo, not very successful tho
This seems to be always the case for nate, he doesn't have that requirement/charm of a solo singer, most of his extremely popular songs are from bands or features
Jack Antonoff has become crazy successful tho
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands...
No, I think we all do.❤
If you are still listening to this song in 2020 we really need to be friends 🥂 and cheers to more life
Thanks man
cheers bro!
cheers
Here we are .... Hahaha
Love this song and had a good beat to it.
I sang this in Afghanistan when i was terrified once. Now seeing the video years later the war depiction is so ironic and blows my mind. It calmed me as I moved through the danger. 2ndBat75th RLTW! ATW

Cuz of depression culture
Half of the new songs are just covers of old stuff played slow so that it's "stylish"

“Then I Look Into My Nephews Eyes….You Won’t Believe The Most Amazing Things” That Got So Much Meaning I Tear Up Every Single Time I Hear It
6 of us from my choir were chosen to sing this in a competition years ago. They chose us cause apparently we had ‘powerful’ voices to match the high energy of the song. And still to this day, it’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever performed and gives me such nostalgia to happier times. Oh and we won the competition :)
So awesome. I remember performing so many times as just another voice in the choir, but still feeling the power and energy rolling like a wave through the group as we sang together... I may never have been outstanding, but together we made a mighty sound. Glad you have such great memories of not only choir, and your performance, and winning, but also this song. :):):)
Beautiful
OUTSTANDING!!!!

13yrs later I'm back here and it feels just as it did back then yet so much has changed in my life 😂
i was 9 when this came out, i’m 17 now and wow, i’m in tears from being soo nostalgic, id do anything to go back to my decade
Lmao I was your current age when this came out. Now I'm 25. I feel old. Thanks haha
Oof i hadnt quite turned 6 yet and now im 14😭time was too quick!!
I was 22 when this came out and now I'm 30. Don't be afraid I'm much older 😔😭😂
Sulking in becoming older is a curse. Remember it with rose tinted glasses because trust me the only thing that matters is the future not the past.
I also remember the nostaligic, btw 17 too
I'm a Civil War historian and this song has been playing at most reenactments. This band did a great job
It's also talking about the great war within.

yeah. him and Matthew Koma. incredible, unique voices
dougy mandagi from the temper trap also.. what an amazing voice he has
Yeah where is he??
Dude I really like his voice. But watch him live, he sounds completely different from studio versions. Maybe because he uses autotune a lot?
@@centiments11 No, he doesn't. He sounds exactly the same.

He has vanished when the world need

To anyone reading this, please don't take your loved ones for granted. I lost my mom in May, and even though I was there for her through her whole battle with cancer, and always reminded her of how much she was loved and appreciated... Every day I think of things I wish I could tell her. And although I know she understood how we all felt about her, I feel like I didn't say it enough,
My point is, just go tell your parents you love them. Or your siblings, or your spouse, or whoever you are closest to in life. Because you may not get the chance to say it tomorrow. Make sure everyone around you knows that you love them.
SkilesHasFun im sorry for your lost but why are you posting this here?
ethan kane I dunno, something about this song reminds me of her. Maybe it's the defiant attitude of it.
I've been losing alot quit lately my grandma died from cancer in April and one of my friends sons committed suicide and I haven't seen her since so I know the feeling and I'm sorry for you
SkilesHasFun Maybe listen to "Carry On" by Fun. instead?
SkilesHasFun Why Post this Here?
God has landed me here after weeks of frustration searching for this song!!! I needed this song to remember how I overcame one of the toughest and lowest moments of my life. It's 2am in Nairobi. After weeks of trying to remember this song, I finally find it. And sleep a happy man 😊😊😊
Omg same. This song was played at a friend’s funeral and I heard it playing in a store recently and have been trying to find it for ages. Have now added it to my playlist
Hugs🫂
Yup. I used to play it in my late teens. I wont forget my toughest moments in my life.
Thank you my friend for sharing. Keep punching, everything is gonna be alright.
Some nights I stay up with the plan of studying but I end up listening to this song...
this is literally me rn. hahahha
True that
I swear to God this literally happened to me
Same...
That whats happening right now by me.
The amount of emotion, energy and passion that is put into this music is inspiring.
Yes!!!
yeah, no music today compares to music of the 00s ... this album was one of the last great albums in the sort of passion, emotion based pop-rock stuff that was super popular in the early to mid 00s (this album dropped in 2012, I believe)... I struggle to find music I connect with nowadays, and it sucks.. I know it still exists. it's just that you really have to hunt for it. it's not in the mainstream... this entire album is really great though... and they were amazing live on new years eve in new orleans several years back. such a memory standing out in the rain watching them perform.
Once I did a poo at a service station on the m1, same kinda feeling..............
@@stephanieesea i’ll check it out. so far, the only modern stuff i like is like bring me the horizon (and they were around during the 00s.. i just happen to like their recent stuff too)… and some random artists like poppy, for example. xD but i don’t have the money for subscription services, so i find it difficult to find new music. any recommendations are appreciated, so thanks. :)
its sad and inspiring
this is the first song I ever remember feeling something on a different level, first heard it sometimes in 2013 when it came up on the radio
Nobody asked but this song was played at my brothers funeral. I decided to listen to it after about 4 years.
That's so sweet. You have some of those songs that hold on to you forever. My brother passed away to and just some songs remind me of him. ❤

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for?
What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore
[Verse 1]
This is it, boys, this is war
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
Try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And that's alright
(That's Alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering
Just who I, who, I, who I am
Oh, who am I?
[Chorus 2]
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win (I always win)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for?
What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know
[Bridge 1]
(Oh, come on) So this is it?
I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
(Oh, come on) No
When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan
So, come on
Oh, come on
Oh, come on
Oh, come on
[Verse 2]
Well, that is it, guys, that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home
Sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone
All dried up in the desert sun?
[Bridge 2]
My heart is 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 nights
[Outro]
The other night, you wouldn't believe
The dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree

I remember the chorus of this song then I searched it on Google, and here I am 😊
2008 to 2012 songs are the most meaningful songs. Our generation could ever wish for
I think every generation has many meaningful songs and sometimes they are hard to find but I totally agree in that time they had some beautiful songs
ZamaBomvu ngubane Most meaningful? I remembered the TH-cam comments back in 2012 and they said 2000 to 2008 are the most meaningful songs, I mean what am I suppose to believe if they keep saying music was better 2 years ago all the time, that's not even so old.
Tristan Escano Raising a good point... Hmmm
ZamaBomvu ngubane If you look at this on an overall scale then the largest amount of 'meaningful songs' (songs that were about something other than shallow shit like getting laid, making money or general silliness that makes little to no sense) were definately written in the 1960's and 1970's. Even the 1980's had a higher general message value in their songs than what we get today.
***** Actually You have a good point
You know that you've heard a good song when after almost a decade later, u still come back for it.

"May 17. We awoke with the dread of knowing that the day would be spent in battle, yet savoring the dread in case it be our last morning. Our commander tried to buoy our spirits with encouraging words, but found himself asking again and again what he stood for, and sowed more confusion than relief. The fighting was long and fierce, and lasted into the night, but at last the battle ebbed and we stood victorious, thanks to our commander's strong singing voice and the intrepid piano player." - Elisha Hunt Rhodes

what do i stand for?
most nights
i don't know
so this is it?
i sold my soul for this?
washed my hands of that for this?
i miss my mom and dad for this?
no when i see stars
when i see stars that's all they are
when i hear songs
they sound like this one so come on
well that is it guys, that is all
five minutes in and i'm bored again
ten years of this i'm not sure if anybody understands
this one is not for the folks at home
i'm sorry to leave mom, i had to go
who the fuck wants to die alone
all dried up in the desert sun?
my heart is breaking for my sister
and the con that she called "love"
and then i look into my nephews eyes
man you wouldn't believe
the most amazing things
that can come from
some terrible lies
the other night you wouldn't believe
the dream i just had about you and me
i called you up but we'd both agree
it's for the best you didn't listen
it's for the best we get our distance
for the best you didn't listen
it's for the best we get our distance
❤

Soothing❤
I remember my grandad playing this song when we were driving home late at night, when I was terrified of my homelife. he'd sing along and make me forget it all, even if it was just for the short ten minute drive.
It was his favourite song that wasn't made in like...the 60's, he's never liked modern music.
I reminded him of this song's existence the day he rang the cancer bell, I'll love this for all *eternity*
Bisexual Panic I couldn’t heart your comment, so I just had to leave a like. What a beautiful memory. ❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤
If you don't understand now, one day it will hit you: he speaks to you through this song.
This song makes me want to stand up for something. Such a serotonin booster.
Yes!!!
Lmao agreed !
True
@Darren Mcclean 😂😂
The first time we heard this group was late at night on Saturday Night Live. Ron and I immediately ordered the CD. Every song on it was, and still is, unforgettable; Songs that bring us to attention, that make us alive, that make us question and inspired. But this one - "Some Nights" is an incredible anthem which reaches out to the core of anyone whose has ever pondered/wondered about their existence.The video is beyond rattling, it is hauntingly visceral.
Y'know some people might call this basic but it's actually a really good song...
We're still listening in 2020 even though the world is crashing down.
Yeah and I am just 12
I am.June 5,2020.
How is it crashing down? Just because of protests and a virus that pretty much doesnt exist anymore?
bc this song is so perfect
Yea
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know anymore...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style
That's alright (that's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win...
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)
So this is it
I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
(Come on)
No. When I see stars, when I see
When I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!
Well, that is it guys, that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights... ah...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...

i mean the lyrics are in the description
2010s: it was better in 2000s...
2020: cries in nostalgia of 2010s
Rose tinted glasses are still distorted...
People tend to not cherish the moment they live in...
in 10 years we gon miss 2020s so enjoy it now
@@dave_3476 we'll see about that. So far the year is not going well
music was so much better in the 2000s and the 1990s
They don’t make music like this anymore huhu
Back when I first watched this video, I thought that both men were the same person, just at different ages. Now I realize the more heartbreaking reality is that one was killed by the other. Both on opposite sides of the war, but both at peace before it started. Honestly it made me tear up. We like to paint a lot of wars in history as “us vs them” but forget that most people fighting on either side are just common people who were made to fight.
@Oakley Louis: Thas a good observation. In ww1 during Christmas German and allied troops in the trenches put down their guns and joined each other for Christmas and gift swapping and drinking and smoking together pretty much little nick nacks they had on them for gifts. After Christmas, they went back to shooting each other.
And people that chose not to fight are seen as an enemy on both sides...and most times, are killed for not fighting
Captain toad red toad mickey mario Jason red ranger
@@griselmendoza1107 Good god stop bc you make no sense 😑
You forget one important difference, this was a civil war. Not only are they common people who were made to fight, they were often neighbours to each other. Civil war is unlike most wars, in that it gets intensely personal and very, very bloody before it ends.
This song: exists
My depression and anxiety: Ight, Imma head out
Facts😪😪
homie if this cured your depression you prolly didnt have depression
@@Crab_Masher nah dude, these music just be hitting home in the hard times.
Paul Miceli almost like it was a joke
Galactical Bear The disorder is curable I was depressed for 3 months and I randomly stopped being depressed
My advice to everyone:
Don’t even dare going for the “Come on” high note for your safety.
Too late, now my throat hurts.
@@zynder5 same lol
Also the when he says nights
Too late. My throat is dead now
Yous are funny
I know baritones are supposed to have super wide ranges too, but this man dominates as a tenor.
This band was amazing. Talk about a historic band in the making...well was.
They could’ve been the hit band of the decade if they just kept making more music.
Imagine Dragons and Train seem to be taking that away.
Chris Sykes I thought train weren’t making much nowadays ??
No, although they dominated most of the decade.
@The Delusional Fan well Imagine Dragons used to be good but then they sold out harder than the black eyed peas and now they suck
First pop song not about sex, beating women or drugs! congratulations world you actually did it respectable this time!
Iann Green Right? Part of why I love this song
Who doenst love this song! Very catchy
Ironic that funs first hit was about getting plastered and partying.
SuperLemonadeGamer We Are Young isn't totally all about getting plastered and partying. But a part of what you said is true because the song is kinda inspired from the lead vocalist's worst drinking experience.
F.U.N. And Train Are Possibly The Best Appropiate Pop Bands. Nicki Manaj And Jason Derulo Already Screwed Their Chance.
I wish the band would come back together 😭
What have there slit?
Max Ehrencrona No they haven’t. They just haven’t been inspired for making music
Lmbhusky2006 i’m pretty sure they did the lead singer went on to make music on his own but it didn’t go well and the two others haven’t made music
@@yael4738 look up bleachers or jack antonoff (the guy with the glasses). he still makes music and produces for lorde, etc.
Agreed
Anyone november 2024? Nostalgia train all the way
Some Nights Lyrics
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck

@@johnbaker7104 Still useful for the 2% of people who don't remember to check the description because they're used to just finding it in the comments.
Clarthon I was just pointing it out so next time people show up they don’t have to spend time looking through the comments
Oh okay, that makes sense. Sorry for the misunderstanding. ^^;
My 3 wishes:
1. For Fun to come back
2. For Fun to come back
3. For Fun to come back
Great band
i thought you meant fun as in bring the joy of life back and i was like same dude
My 3 whishes
1. Of course Fun back.
2. Corona end.
3. Help people with depression.
(Note: a couple of my friends have depression and I try to help them. I do and they are kinda happy but not fully.)
Yeah, they were "fun" to listen to...
Haven't you heard of the format they got back together in 2020 horrible timing but ...
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called love. And then I look into my nephews eyes, man- you wont believe the most amazing things that come from some terrible nights.
Cool
@@manamitsuki3851 oh shit wow i never even thought of that
Terrible lies**
@@mackenziepalmer Yes, the lyric is "terrible lies".
@annerison according to Nate, it's "terrible nights"
This is the song of my childhood. And never, and I mean never, am I gonna stop listening to it, or the album it’s apart of. I love it to death.
They don't make music like this everyday. Such a masterpiece.
You ever heard of the song "Cecelia" by Simon & Garfunkel?
Well ppl have their preferences
"They" only show up for masterpieces. It's a waste of time otherwise.
