New York-based indie pop band, Fun., is back with a new set of visuals for their upbeat, hopeful ballad "Carry On," the third single off trio's gold-certified sophomore album, "Some Nights." Unlike most of their previous videos, this one has more of a 'happy' feel to it, featuring the band go on a night of merry-making and sold-out performances in the Big Apple, the city that never sleeps. "Some nights" are better than others - especially when Fun. is involved.
The uplifting, mid-tempo anthem has a slow and melancholic start with a solitary piano, but by the time it reaches its chorus, it is both inspirational and uplifting. Add in a rocking guitar solo and some well timed high-fives in the video and you've got the perfect after-party singalong. It may not reach the dizzy heights of "We Are Young" in terms of its infectiousness and worldwide success, but it's pretty anthemic all the same. It's a tale of both sadness and hope. The slower verses tell the story of situations that could've broken them, while the upbeat chorus is about carrying on.
Fun., the quirky pop-rockers pay tribute to themselves, and takes a breather from their signature, up-beat repertoire to introduce new song, "Carry On." It's a gorgeous departure from the norm, with a slightly anthemic tone and a sound that only gets bigger as it progresses. Frontman Nate Ruess will blow you away with those vocals, and the guitar solo takes pop-rock music to new magnitudes. If the members of Fun. are anything like their band's name, they surely share plenty of good times among themselves.
The Anthony Mandler-directed clip almost plays like a love song to the city. Contrary to their break out video for "We Are Young," which was blissful and dreamlike, the new video for their Broadway-meets-Journey pub-closer "Carry On" shows a much more realistic peek at what goes on in the lives of band members on tour. Split between a raucous performance and a wild night out, Fun.'s new video celebrates the track's never-say-die spirit. It's nice to see the boys are still as young as they claimed to be in their breakout single, drinking and acting their age.
