Music Recommend : Fun - "Some Nights"

 

This is the second single of the second studio album "Some Nights" by Fun. Fun is an alternative rock band from New York City, America. The first single of this album named "We Are Young" is very successful. It reached number one of many charts around the world. So, today I will talk about this song. Is it any chance for this song to reach the number one like the first single? I will talk about it.


"Some Nights" has the pop/rock sound, but it has some of backing auto-tune choir that make it more special than other pop/rock songs. Some people don't like auto-tune because it destroy the originality of the song, but I think sometimes it better to have it. This song is a good example of good auto-tune because it make song sound strong and passionate.it can encourage you like you're  standing in the war. I think the band made that auto-tune sound on purpose because this song is talking about war. According to http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107859425130/,

The lyrics is talk about "American soldier in Iraq. The writer is critical of the war, and questions the worth of sending young men over there to die"

Personally, I like this song more than "We Are Young" because it is more catchy for me. Anyway, I think this song may not reach 1st in the chart because of the meaning of the song. The lyrics of "We Are Young" is easy to get into it, but this one is not. But I still support this song. :P


So, if you like this song or the single "We Are Young", I recommend you to listen to the rest of the album. I think it is one of the best album of this year. :)
