LYRICS
Have you ever wondered
about our old nu-metal friends
and what became of them?
Turns out I saw them, a couple of days ago.
They were laughing, and drinking, and smoking, and singing
"Come on can you count all the notches in your belt?"
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.
"Baby put your name down on a piece of paper."
I don't want no savior, baby, I just wanna have a good time.
At least I'm not as sad as I used to be.
They said "Hey Nate!"
"Yeah, it's been awhile,"
"So are you gonna stay?"
Ha! I began to smile, and I said:
"You should have seen me, a couple of years ago,
I was laughing, and drinking, and smoking, and singing."
"Come on can you count all the loves that didn't last?"
It's such a gas when you bring up the past.
"Baby put your name down on a piece of paper."
I don't want no savior, baby, I just wanna get it on!
At least I'm not as sad as I used to be.
They said:
"We would have seen you two years ago,
had you stuck around, or come out to a show.
But you was taken over by Rock 'N' Roll...
while we were laughing, and drinking, and smoking, and singing...
So I left.
That is it.
That's my life.
Nothing is sacred.
I don't keep friends, I keep acquainted.
I'm not a prophet, but I'm here to profit.
That's all.
I'm gone.
That's my life.
Nothing is sacred.
I don't fall in love, I just fake it.
I don't fall in love,
I don't fall in love.

[@ymruofficial5803]

Is someone still listening? ^^

[@kurtedson-herzovi6961]

It's got good cord progression. And nice counter melodies.

[@earth2aries70]

definitely

[@nathansanders935]

Yes, because many years ago someone said this song reminded them of me. Needing it now.

"So I left. That is it. That's my life. Nothing is sacred. I don't keep friends, I keep acquainted. I'm not a prophet, but I'm here to profit. That's all. I'm gone" Senior quote? lol

that's perfect

Im going to use it

[@angrykirby2606]

Just showing that even in 2022, this song still bangs hard :)

[@CheeZboi1234]

Now it’s near the end of 2023 and it still bangs just as hard!

[@user-ep1ni1hf7u]

i don't know why, but i think that all "Aim and Ignite" album should be in some musical, those guys are pretty good, love them

[@hazirahhanifar]

Ikr! I like listening to the album on repeat, it's very entertaining. Not only is the instrumental perfect for a musical context, but the lyrics can really get your attention. They tell a story you wouldn't want to miss. Someone really needs to write a good musical based on Aim and Ignite. I definitely wouldn't be stingy paying to watch that

[@briannakae8060]

+Soph Germanotta I AGREE SO MUCH

[@punkincat1977]

I think it would be a great musical. some nights might be a nice musical too

[@nyreegraham7894]

Imagine Be Calm specifically... Holy shit!

[@nyreegraham7894]

Honestly "Some Nights Intro" would be amazing for that too!

[@brendopls]

This song is better than I first thought it was.

[@robinbowie8093]

brendo At least the songs not as bad as it used to be....eee-eee-eee

[@linne1597]

Still here. Still fun. I hope this wonderful music never dies

[@spktr117]

It's annoying that people hate on the song 'we are young' for it being catchy. That's when they completely miss the point of the songs meaning.

[@cstober2]

l Xephinity I don't think they hate it for being catchy, I think they hate it because other fun songs are extremely underrated while naive "fans" campaign for "we are young" People need to give up on hit songs, give bands a chance because 99% of real fans say "you should listen to their real stuff" about every band.

[@oof4992]

I used to hate that song when i was young. My mom plays that song and some of the songs she influenced me now. But now that i came across it, i regret every single thing i thought about that song.

[@gracelessabomination9847]

@@cstober2 Why can't people just love both?? We Are Young will always be my favorite song, but I love the rest of the band's work as well.

[@thomasblock9750]

I love we are young but it's definitely not my favorite song from Nate Ruess (including the format and his solo)

[@Gankthewabit1]

so long a way but great point i agree a lot :)

[@randomergy683]

Fun is one of the few bands I can listen to an entire album and not skip any songs. (: I hope they make a new album sometime

[@kayno_2560]

still listening 12 years later -2022

[@jadedkitty_]

So glad that people, few or many, still listen to fun.

[@noahsmethers9339]

Even now, they have 10,000,000 monthly followers on Spotify! Love this band!

[@CZsWorld]

Best fun. song, truly epic live!

[@beepbeeplettuce5230]

Dude, your channel's amazing! I've been subbed for a year, never would have expected to see you here haha

[@awsgames]

I love how bombastic and celebratory this groups music tends to get.

[@ZC.Andrew]

Right?! Even when they're sad, it's in an upbeat and super happy way.

[@James-jy3lh]

Plus thier lyrics are depressing as shit usualy so it's really gud if your having one of those nights

[@neusoof3428]

Every single one of their songs is good.

[@silvianavisa8599]

Please come back boys!!

[@listlessLiz]

Fun. was the best thing that happened in my life

[@ph0enix321]

I am wearing a shirt with Venom on it

[@sharcam2010]

the first time I heard this song was the first time I experienced and "eargasm" the climax between 3:16 and the end gave me chills. I'm still chasing that same feeling whenever I listen to this song.

[@waltersmith7245]

It give goosebumps when you sing along

[@i_am_l471]

Especially when it perfectly describes where you at right now

[@JustJX]

A lot of their underrated songs are SO great and catchy, so underrated!!!

[@Therapist_Solarist]

It’s funny how old this song is because it has a MySpace page listed like god what a blast from the past y’all,

[@ssemmelmann93]

I just love the fact that they have that older sound to them. Refreshingly vintage.

And they said, "Hey Nate, yeah, it's been a while, Are you gonna sing?" And I began to smile and I said, "You should've seen me a couple of years ago, I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing." C'mon can you count all the loves that didn't last? It's such a gas when you bring up the past. Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper. I don't want no savior baby I just wanna get it out. Oh oh, oh, at least I'm not as sad as I used to be. Oh oh, oh, at least I'm not as sad as I used to be. At least I'm not as sad as I used to be. And they say we would've seen you two years ago Had you stuck around or come out to a show, But youth's taken over by rock and roll, While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing So I left, That is it.

"Come on can you count all the notches in your belt?" ...*sips tea*

[@gabriel-jb8ds]

i dont get it

[@iSpunkrandom]

what notches on your belt means?

[@gabriel-jb8ds]

yea lol ive listened to this song like a million times but i never knew what it meant lol

[@iSpunkrandom]

notches on your belt are like people you've slept with

[@maxcichon7756]

Ya but context clues.... In this case it's how many different friend groups have you jumped in and out of in order to be successful

[@dm_nhat]

It’s such a true song about stardom and it’s toll on people... Never have i heard mainstream artists mentioned this before. Rock On FUN.

[@americanidiot5714]

I want to meet and have daily conversations with Nate.

[@tenausly292]

American Idiot I'm sorry but he doesn't make friends

[@tenausly292]

American Idiot he just keeps acquainted

[@TheFluffyZerg]

This song is just legendary, I've actually been listening to it for about 4 hours now

[@MicioB]

been listening until now, 2022 heyyyyyy

[@DeliverUsFromEvie]

this song is so nostalgic i'm crying

[@TheSFGIANTSFAN]

Whoever said their name pretty much explains their music was totally right. I more of a modern rock kinda person, but their music is really catchy and you can't get enough of it.

[@waltersmith7245]

My favorite song lasted over 10 years truly great album

[@ohno862]

Fun brings out so many childhood memories

[@cameronishere]

i absolutely agree

[@courtneytruax6567]

Omg same!!!

[@mewnew]

Love fun.

[@YotamRMZNKing]

Some Nights (both parts) and At Least I'm Not As Sad is probably my top 2 favorite fun. songs. Goosebump-worthy at times.

[@briannakae8060]

i miss seeing these guys in concert. kinda having a nostalgia moment :(

[@PattyKakes7787]

Too bad, i feel for you. Saw FUN three times and they were as fun as you'd imagine they would be. My "missed" it show was The Strokes, went to Lady Gaga instead...dumb move. LOL

[@ZC.Andrew]

@@PattyKakes7787 Awww no buddy!! You turned down The Strokes for Lady Gaga? Not that she isn't great and all, but.... damn :(

[@MarinRayado]

This reminded me of Queen.

[@chickenmonger]

Nate Ruess is so indie pop, he is one step away from writing children's songs. I love these guys, and that last note was spectacular. Can't wait til the album.

[@melissaahoell]

I didn’t even know about this album till the other day. I wish they made more music. Unique and catchy.

[@Vriege]

Same here!

[@atadstrange]

This is my favorite Album in the entire wields right now. I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is that I love about it...I just do. I feel this emotional attachment to it and I don’t want to let go.

[@williamperry2057]

Greatest ending ever

[@theofficialwatermelon8583]

It has that Queeny feel to it

[@SwirlingUp]

Okay the lyric "come on can you count all the notches in your belt?" is like really awesome in a weird way.

[@definesyouasaman]

i still miss Fun. My favourite: At least i'm not as sad as i used to be

[@DoctorInstrument]

I think their debut is the best

[@LUTHFI554]

i love all nate ruess song :D

[@KamaliaKamsani]

It's 2024 now. And I'm still here.

[@lmdiestro]

Female vocals were by Emily Moore. She accompanied Fun. on this past tour while they were supporting Paramore at the Hard Rock Las Vegas. Didn't know much about them before the show, but am now a fan! RE: Emily beautiful young woman and beautiful voice as well. Glad I was able to run into them at Mr. Lucky's for post gig dinner/celebration. Awesome time! It was also just her birthday last week.

[@DavidNorthMusic]

3:07 has got to be my favourite part of this entire album. And it's a damn good album.

[@undomiel21evenstar]

Fun like Queen are a band with enormous potential who have just started discovering their style. i am a fan of Queen and to me they are unique but i also agree that Fun are similar to them in a sense. Nate's voice is amazing but very different from Freddie's. Like him though he capable of singing many completely different styles. Fun are the best band of today! and them being compared to Queen is a huge compliment!

[@Addisonmoreno]

I know this comment is old but ever since I discovered them that's exactly what I've been thinking.

It's not a matter of mainstream...it's a matter of talent. And when talent is real, people are going to like it. Sometimes, a LOT of people are going to like it. That's what is happening with these guys.

I listened to this after a break up made me feel better, until my friend jesi asked if I was listening to sad music cause “it’s not good to do that after what happened “ I said I’m not and showed her the title of the song... she slapped me.

[@KaizerMan]

+Mridul Jawahar More like a mix of the two. the lead singer and the style of singing is very similar to Freddie Mercury and the drums are remeniscent of classic Queen arena rock drum beats but then the texture of instruments and album art and image is more like The Beatles
