美国独立流行乐队fun.热单《Some Nights》：战火中的爱情

Some Nights》是美国独立流行乐队fun.的第二张录音室专辑，发行于2012年2月21日，收录于该专辑中的单曲《We Are Young》在去年底被glee翻唱而首次跳入大众眼中，而在今年格莱美过后，该单曲连续两周在itunes数字下载榜上登顶，并在billboard单曲榜上取得最高第一名的好成绩（2012.3月），并在冠军位置保持六周。并在世界各国榜单取得优异成绩。同时专辑里面有同名单曲《Some Nights》。

MV讲述了一段在战火中燃烧殆尽的爱情，颠沛流离的战事将两人分开，曾经在家乡温柔的抚摸着奔马的男孩，也不得不背上战枪，无情的杀人，曾经美好的田园生活，都因战争将每个人改变，纵然是段铁血柔情，也只能化作一滴泪水，寄托在遥远的思念。

歌词：

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips¹ could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord², I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...

This is it, boys, this is war
what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
save that for the black and white
Try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
but here they come again to jack³ my style

And that's alright
I found a martyr⁴ in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering
just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I?

Some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know...

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars,
when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs,
they sound like a swan⁵, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on.
Well boys and girls, that is all
five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks⁶ at home
I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the f*ck wants to die alone
all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister
and the con⁷ that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe
the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights.

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream
I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
For the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh...
