"BANDZ A MAKE HER DANCE!": The Singles, 2012


04/Fun. featuring Janelle Monae/We Are Young

Some Nights, life's a bitch. And some nights you'll come to this conclusion in real time in the company of others or the one you "love". This situation usually leads to two options: Go Big, or Go Home. And in the case of Fun.'s We Are Young, the choice is Option A. Tonight(!) we go hard... for your sorrows. Life's a bitch, times are hard, yada, yada, yada, bump all that. Knock one back, pretend you're 22 again, and escape that noise for a minute. And of course, we do. We Are Young and its Queen like histrionics shouts to the heavens triumphantly, making anyone who comes to it seeking release glad they came. For these few minutes (should you choose to participate), we all set the world on fire, burning brighter than the sun, thanks to a triumphant little pop song. Let you guard down, and let the "good times" carry you home. You might just enjoy yourself.
