fun.‘s “We Are Young” has been on radio for a few weeks now, and I always feel like “tonight, we are young/ so let’s set the world on fire/ we can burn brighter than the sun” is the coolest, most inspiring line ever when Nate Ruess sings it. The song features Janelle Monae, the genius behind “Tightrope” , and the acoustic version actually brought a tear to my eye:
Nate’s voice reminds me of GROUPLOVE’s Christian Zucconi on “Colours“. Janelle just looks beautiful- red lipstick, bouffant and all. I also love that they’re both just so passionate about what they’re saying- it makes me want to, like, crowd surf. Or something equally symbolic of a music lover who believes the lyrics are written by people who understand her.
