Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
Getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me
Just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
Asking 'bout a scar
And I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I
I just thought maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's the set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight
給我點(diǎn)時(shí)間
讓我理清思緒
死黨醉倒在洗手間
已經(jīng)悄然入天
愛人在酒吧那頭等候
墨鏡女占了我的位置
談起你我的情傷
我知道我另你陷入情網(wǎng)
我知道你難忘傷痛
然而在酒醉金迷間
我的道歉如此蹩腳
我想努力挽回你
當(dāng)酒吧打烊
你的腳步蹣跚
我會帶你回家
今夜
花樣年華的我們
將世界點(diǎn)燃
另驕陽失色
今夜
花樣年華的我們
將世界點(diǎn)燃
另驕陽失色
今夜帶我回家
請今夜帶我回家
天使并未降臨
但我聽到天籟之聲
有人將我?guī)Щ亓思?/p>
今夜
花樣年華的我們
將世界點(diǎn)燃
另驕陽失色
今夜
花樣年華的我們
將世界點(diǎn)燃
另驕陽失色
當(dāng)酒吧打烊
你的腳步蹣跚
我今夜會帶你回家
We Are Young是美國獨(dú)立流行樂團(tuán)Fun.于2011年9月發(fā)行的一支單曲，單曲收錄在樂隊(duì)第二張錄音室專輯《Some Nights》中。此曲曾被Glee翻唱，翻唱版本首發(fā)時(shí)登上了Billboard第12位，并在itunes單曲下載榜上排行第一。原版在Billboard Hot 100榜冠軍位置停留六周，在2012 Billboard Hot 100 Year-End中排列第三，并獲第55屆(2013)格萊美年度歌曲獎(jiǎng)(Song Of The Year)，并獲得年度制作，最佳流行樂隊(duì)/組合提名。
簡單的說，《We Are Young》就是一首充滿正能量和積極意義的勵(lì)志歌曲。也難怪它常常被許多美劇拿來做配樂歌曲，它高昂的情調(diào)和戲劇化的張力，也讓這首歌曲既有豐富的聽覺震撼力，也有許多獨(dú)立樂團(tuán)最為缺乏的精氣神。聽這首歌曲，就像當(dāng)年聽Queen的《We Will Rock You》或者《We Are the Champions》。
《We Are Young》這首單曲由樂隊(duì)主唱Nate Ruess和他們《Some Nights》的制作人Jeff Bhasker共同創(chuàng)作完成。而這首作品的女聲演繹，則來自于另一位出生于堪薩斯的黑人女歌手Janelle Monae。
歌曲的創(chuàng)作可以追溯到2011年2月。某日，Nate Ruess和Jeff Bhasker相約于紐約東城Bowery酒店的酒吧，商談音樂事宜。而為了這次會面，Nate Ruess已經(jīng)是第三次相約，前兩次則都被Jeff Bhasker放了鴿子。而這一次，Jeff Bhasker在和Beyonce完成工作后，終于匆匆趕來和Nate Ruess相見，但只提供了十分鐘的會談時(shí)間。不過，Nate Ruess關(guān)于將流行和嘻哈融合的創(chuàng)作想法，卻很快引起了他的注意。之后，Nate Ruess將Jeff Bhasker請到了自己的客房，向他親自演示了這種想法的成果，即流行、嘻哈和電子融合的效果，而主旋律部分，甚至還有一些Beyonce作品的線條。第二天，Jeff Bhasker就把Nate Ruess請到了他紐約的工作室。并最終完成了這首歌曲的母帶。
