\"Some Nights\" is written in the key of C major at a tempo of 108 beats per minute. A line in their lyrics, \"this is it boys, this is war\", recalls \"99 Red Balloons\", the English version of Nena's 1983 hit \"99 Luftballons\". Lyrically, the song expresses the existential angst of a young protagonist who is a long way from home.[2] Lead singer Nate Ruess explained to Mesfin Fekadu of the Associated Press: \"I'm always thinking about, 'Who am I and why did I do something like that' And I think then it harkens back to my family, and I have such a strong tie to them and it's always therapeutic to sing about them.\"[3] Ruess came up with the song and album title while on tour in Scotland; he wrote the song based on the title. Lyrically, the song is about \"just being someone different on any given night.\"[4]
There has been some confusion with the fans as the lyric \"Some terrible nights\" was mistaken for \"...lies\". Members of Fun. confirmed on November 18, 2012 on their Twitter and Facebook accounts that \"it's NIGHTS not LIES.\"[5][6] Jeff Giles, writing for Diffuser, compared the song to Simon and Garfunkel's \"Cecilia.\"[7][unreliable source] Ruess commented that Simon's Graceland (1986) was an influence on the song in an interview with Billboard.[4]
Fun.'s debut album Aim and Ignite was an interesting blend of seemingly divergent styles topped by a healthy dose of grandiose ambition and performed with a precise abandon. The trio made an album that was truly progressive and also super catchy and fun. The follow-up, Some Nights, ramps up the ambition and sonic bombast, but also manages to be even more powerful and impressive. While writing and planning the album, singer Nate Ruess, guitarist Jack Antonoff, and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Dost were heavily influenced by both the sound and scope of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and made every attempt to achieve something similar, even to the point of hiring that album's co-producer Jeff Bhasker to produce and craft beats for them. (Also Emile Haynie, who has worked with Eminem among others) Though the album has more of a hip-hop influence than Aim and Ignite did, there are still large doses of Queen and ELO coursing through the band's blood, both in the machine-crafted vocal harmonies and the ornate bigness of the sound. The album is overloaded with strings and horns, backing vocals, keyboards, and programmed drums surrounding Ruess like a clamoring crowd, but never drowning out his innately sincere vocals and painfully honest lyrics. He has the kind of voice that could cut through any amount of noise, not by using volume but honesty. Even when he's fed through Auto-Tune, you know he's telling you the truth all the time. On songs like the lead single \"We Are Young\" or the rollicking \"All Alone,\" he provides a very human core that grounds things even as the music builds to ornate crescendos. Indeed, the album is really, really big sounding and could easily have ended up collapsing under its own weight and pretension, but the opposite happens and Some Nights takes flight instead. The songs are both anthemic and human-sized, the heartfelt words and naked emotions are never buried, and the music is uplifting, not overpowering. The trio has crafted a record that measures up to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy musically and delivers enough emotional charge to power a small town for a month. It's an impressive achievement and Fun. deserves every bit of acclaim that comes its way because of it.
The song is about the loneliness, uncertainty, and self-doubt that often comes with the painful progress of self-actualization, or fulfilling one's potential. The protagonist is Nate Ruess himself, as is often the case with his songs. They are all deeply personal. Though everyone may interpret poetry however they like, to find their own meaning in whatever way relates most to them, the writer's true intentions are important. The top 3 interpretations of this song each have glaring inaccuracies that are inconsistent with the actual meaning of the lyrics. #3 is the most outrageous, I hope it's a joke. (Lips = kissing = it's about a girl!) #1 is closest to the mark, but misses wide on the \"war with potential dead brother-in-law\" theory and interpretation of the significance of the desert. I think the song is much, much simpler, yet also more powerful, than most interpretations I've read. I'm not saying I'm 100% right, but I strive to be more accurate than the current accepted submissions. My interpretation is based on knowledge of the songwriter's personal history and his other work. (I am not his sister, personal umbrella-holder, hamster, or left sock.) It's actually pretty straightforward. \"Some Nights\" is a personal reflection of Nate's life, family, career, the sacrifices he made to achieve success, the sometimes disappointing emptiness of that success (how prophetic now that he's a mega-star), struggles with the choices he made, loss, guilt, even simply the pain of growing up, and hope. The same themes are woven throughout the entire album, some even begun in Aim & Ignite. I won't go through every single line, but will focus on the ones that are most representative of the overall meaning. \"Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luckSome nights I call it a drawSome nights I wish that my lips would build a castleSome nights I wish they'd just fall off\"Some nights he's performing in concerts, singing the songs he wrote, many of which deal with aforementioned themes. He vacillates between dreams of achieving superstar success in his career, and occasionally wishing he didn't have the burden of such a dream and the responsibilities and problems that can come with it. Elsewhere on the album (in \"Stars\") he says \"Some nights I rule the world/With Barlights and Pretty Girls/But most nights I stay straight and think about my mom/Oh God I miss her so much\" which is an even more explicit reference to the lure of his career as an artist and performer and, of course, the quiet moments in between shows when he's alone with his emotions, particularly grieving the death of his mother. \"Barlights\" and \"Pretty Girls\" refer to songs from the band's previous album (two of the most popular, too!) \"But I still wake up, I still see your ghost...\" Said \"ghost\" appears several times, and could be his late mother, or his old self. \"Well that is it guys, that is all5 minutes in and I'm bored againTen years of thisI'm not sure if anybody understandsThis one is not for the folks at homeSorry to leave, Mom, I had to goWho the f** wants to die alone All dried up in the desert sun\"This line tricks people up, in conjunction with the war-themed video and the ongoing political and military conflicts in desert regions. It's got nothing to do with that. Nate's been writing and performing for a long time - literally a decade at the time this song was written. He had to leave home, in Arizona, to focus on his career, leaving behind his family, which is a very close-knit one. His mother has since passed away, and he feels a lot of guilt and loss. It was a difficult choice, wether to leave or stay. Many of us must make the choice at some point, maybe more than once. Simply put, this song is about leaving home, striking out on your own, and learning about who you are. \"So this is itI sold my soul for thisWashed my hands of that for thisI miss my mom and dad for this\"He left home and everyone he loved, and isn't sure it was worth it. The success he's achieved isn't as fulfilling as he expected. At the time, it wasn't even the phenomenal success he'd go on to, but still impressive and life-altering. (Also, incidentally, his struggles with faith and religion are a common theme in his work.)\"When I see stars that's all they are, etc.\"Stars are another recurrent theme, representing fate as well as fame. Here it means he no longer believes in fate, and possibly also that fame is not as glittering as we all dream. One could even maaaybe stretch it to believe that celebrities are just people, and stars are just stars. \"My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called \"love\"But when I look into my nephew's eyesMan you wouldn't believeThe most amazing thingsThat can come from some terrible nights\"(That \"nights\" has been confirmed by the band, not the oft-misquoted \"lies\".)His elder sister, with whom he is close, has had to face her own unique challenges and personal loss. She's had responsibility of the greatest kind bestowed upon her. The love in her now-over relationship, which she either convinced herself of, shared, or was manipulated into believing, was false. But the love that was then *born of it* is precious and true. Even the most terrible nights can be worthwhile, literally, by resulting in a beloved child, or figuratively, resulting in personal growth, maturity, and wisdom.Nate loves his nephew very much, and has previously sung to him on \"Aim & Ignite\". He has a strong sense of family. He also repeatedly refers to his mother, father, and sister, who are all vitally important to him.They represent stability, home, true love, loyalty, and forgiveness. They're the ones he can depend on and trust, who will love him no matter what he does, whatever \"big mistakes\" he makes.The question of \"What do I stand for\" is literal, also meaning \"What inspires me\", \"What motivates me\", \"What do I really want from life\", \"What makes me happy\",\"What defines me\", and other questions we all must ponder. What defines us is constantly changing, but it's up to us to decide how we define ourselves. (I don't believe it's at all political.)\"Most nights, I don't know anymore.\"On the nights when he's doing what he loves, performing, \"ruling the world\", he feels secure. But most nights he's left struggling with the uncertainty that naturally bubbles up in everyone as we get older, lose friends, lose loved ones, start to drift a bit, start to move forward in our careers, our lives, essentially start realizing we're adults. (Making his \"We Are Young\" so much more bittersweet and powerful.) The trials of growing up and changing what you are, how you are, why you are, are universal. The one constant is who you are.Additionally he has the more personal complications of fame, the loss of his mother and his former band, all exacerbated by his own heightened sensitivity and emotional perspicacity. Without his mother, who was such an important part of his life, he might be feeling like he's lost some of his ballast, setting him off balance. When the person who knows you best is gone, your very understanding of yourself, your own relationship with yourself, is shaken. You relied on that person to know you better than you know yourself, to give you guidance and insight into your own soul. It's a life-changing loss that forces you to wobble for quite some time.Ironically, as Nate becomes more and more well-known, the very question of \"What *do* you stand for\" will be asked of him almost relentlessly. We're doing it right now by attempting to extract as much meaning as we can from his lyrics, often assigning intentions that aren't even there. In doing so, we're revealing more of what we ourselves \"stand for\" even if we're not conscious of it. Nate's very hard on himself in his songs. He's also incredibly honest, and lays bare a lot of his greatest fears and struggles. At its most basic, \"Some Nights\" is about those fears, doubts, regrets, and struggles, as well as hope. 59ce067264
