Fun. founding member andrewdost on the 10th anniversary of “Some Nights”: “We had this moment in time; we did what we hoped to do, and then that was it”
Coming of age is a perennial theme in music, be it Billie Eilish singing about the joys and woes of growing up on “My Future,” or Olivia Rodrigo baring her soul on “Brutal.” For the band Fun., which released its seminal second album “Some Nights” 10 years ago today , that moment came as its frontman, Nate Ruess, was nearing 30.and Andrew Dost, Reuss wanted to create a work that pivoted from the highly arranged sound of their debut album “Aim and Ignite” to more of a pop and hip-hop influence.
“I had said to myself, ‘Why am I going to meet with some indie band from Brooklyn?,’” Bhasker recalls. “‘I do Urban music. I don’t fuck with indie rockers from from Brooklyn.’ That was not in my vision.” “We Are Young” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since received a diamond certification by the RIAA, signifying 10 million units. But its success wasn’t instant., then-head of Fueled By Ramen , planned for the song to be a slow burn, shopping a freshly-recorded version of the track to “Glee” music supervisor PJ Bloom months before its official release.
Says Klasfeld: “One thing I remember is her skin was just so completely flawless and almost didn’t seem real. When she walked so calmly and angelic through it all, it was really a special moment.” Tracks like “Carry On” and the auto-tuned “It Gets Better” look to find glimmers of hope amid the heaviness, while the song “Why Am I the One?” — in which Ruess laments, “If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come, why am I the one always packing up my stuff?” — is about the life of a musician. As Dost explains: “You’re living out of a suitcase; you’re traveling; partners are dumping you because you’re inconsistent and preoccupied.
