Fun. – We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe (2012)

Rilasciato come singolo il 20 settembre 2011 (ma arrrivato da noi solo nel marzo 2012), We Are young ha anticipato l’uscita dell’album Some Nights, secondo dei Fun., una band che fa musica indie pop formatasi nel 2008 e che fa base a New York.

Negli States il brano ha avuto un grande successo sopratutto grazie alla visibilità che ha ottenuto quando ne è stata proposta una cover nello show televisivo Glee – episodio 8 terza stagione intitolato Hold On to Sixteen – e per stato utilizzato in uno nello spot della Chevrolet durante l’ultimo Super Bowl.

Il testo di We Are Young

Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friend’s 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 about 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
Though holes in my apologies
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 go brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can go brighter than the sun

Though I know it I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find a way to solve the crime
But our friend isn’t back
So let’s raise the tab
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can go brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can go brighter than the sun

Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight

Come on side
I have no reason to hide
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The end is never right
Where I can
So will someone come and carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can go brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can go brighter than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight.
