| fun. – Some Nights Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This is such a great song with an amazing video! To me, this is one of those rare albums that tells a story I actually find compelling. With that in mind, the song Some Nights should be considered within the context of the larger Some Nights album. To me, the album is a battle cry for those of us who feel like we are getting a raw deal by the powers that be and are ready for a change. The establishment has made a mess of things and the younger generation needs to rise up and make it right. I see that represented lyrically in the lines about the nephew (born into some screwed up circumstances and we owe it to our children to do better) and visually in the video where the younger Union soldier kills the older Confederate soldier (righting the ship will have very real, very human consequences, but it must be done). Those concepts are sprinkled throughout the whole CD, much like Green Day's American Idiot. Different music for a different time, but equally compelling. Love it! | |
