Oh hey, you could be right though, I dunno. Just comes across as rather defeated.
Like, life isn't going to get any better, God isn't going to welcome anyone at the gates of heaven, we all just turn to ash and if anything, let's just be happy where we inevitably die.

Yeah, I can get that interpretation for sure. I haven't spent toooo much time with the lyrics; the rather jovial nature of the music led me to believe that the lyrics followed that trend

but we can at least say the music itself is incredibly happy!

Yeah, the music is for sure. XD
But that's how Nate Ruess songs normally go. Happy music, unhappy lyrics.

Yeah, cue At Least I'm Not As Sad As I Used To Be, etc. :P

Yeah, exactly. XD
He doesn't think much of himself, that's for sure.

Just saw them live. AMAZING show.

Shaz. Yeah.

Sam Means! (The member of The Format that isn't Nate) Come on everyone! It's gold.

I really wish I liked this band. But I just cannot stand overly feel good music. It's like eating sugar.

A lot of their music isn't feel good music though. Musically yes but not lyrically.

We Are Young is such an assy song though.

Sam Means' new EP: NONA is far better than Some Nights, sorry Nate. =P
'We Are Young' took about 20 listens for it to grow on me when it was first released. It took this
long and as soon as it did, it wore off. =P

I'm glad it has brought the band popularity because Nate has earned it, in my opinion but why 'We Are
Young'? It's one of their worst songs. =p

people do need to stop posting we are young on fb or I might kill them

A person I know, who only recently discovered them keeps posting 'Carry On'. Now, it's not 'Benson Hedges' or 'Barlights' but it still makes me smile. =)
