Hey guys! What's up? A few days ago, fun.'s new song, Sight of the Sun released on the G.I.R.L.S. album of Lena Dunham... which probably all of you know about.. haha so what do you think about the new song? Did you buy the whole album?

Sight of the Sun: "The City Outside still sounds like it's on fire"
We Are Young: "So let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter.. than the suuuuuun"

Pretty good song, huh? Has a new beat and tone to it... being soft and calm and like that... those violin background parts towards the end were F.A.N.T.A.S.T.IC.

fun., you did a wonderful job on your new song... congrats on your 6 Grammy Nomnoms and the #BritAwards .... Feb. 10. Mark your calendars for fun.'s performance at the Grammys!

I was at school when 'sight of the sun' was released and i got home and heard it. And it was fab i love the fact that nate, jack, and andrew are reaching new heights with their music.
My sister predicts that they'll take home ALL THE AWARDS win or lose fun. will always be great.

I love their new song. It is so happy, yet it isn't over the top.

It leads me to wonder where their next album is going to go. Will it be happy? Will it be a mix of happy and sad as we know it?

I hope there is a video of this song one day, though I kind of doubt it.

I think they are spectacular songwriters. And it's just like you said, it's a happy song but it isn't sappy or syrupy. I love that about the band. With Nate being that optimistic pessimist, we get very human lyrics. Because they write for them instead of writing to sell (unlike most Top 40 artists these days), the product is so different and real. I think they really brought that writing style to this song, which makes it special. I love it! I hope their next album continues along the same vein as Some Nights, an album with a little bit of longing and turmoil, but ultimately an album with hope.

And I totally agree with a video for Sight of the Sun!! It's such a gorgeous song, and it would make an awesome music video.

Yeah! If you can buy it individually, it will probably be at the top! I just can't wait for the day it is released individually... so you don't have to buy the whole album just to listen to one song. Same with Sleigh Ride that fun. covered.. It's fabulous and probably will be at the top if it is released to buy individually.... Instead of being in a minor key, talking about sad stuff, fun. transposes all the sad stuff into a song that is in a major key.. so even though they are talking about sad things, it is a happy song because of the key it is in...
