We Are Young by Fun

Remember when it was considered selling out to put your music in a commercial. As the bands of the sixties finally broke down in the face of the monies that were offered for commercial endorsement it has gone from being considered selling out after you have success to a method of gaining success.

We have seen several bands place their music on commercials and then go from that to mainstream success. I guess one could say that it is not much different from having your music featured in a movie or a television show and gaining popularity from that. Certainly Grey's Anatomy all by itself has made popular a whole group of bands and artists with music featured on it's episodes.

I believe that this song was featured during an add during the Super Bowl. It might have been the one where the car was parachuted to Earth.

In anycase sometime in February this song became heavily featured on what we call " The Upstairs Playlist" which are songs that my son plays and plays. We were all sixteen once. We remember when songs were the most important soundtrack to our lives.

This is a very good song. Good beat, fun to play. It is everywhere currently. I listened to the whole album and certainly some of the comparisons I have heard to Queen in the operatic and at times over the top nature of their songs are apt.

There are good songs out there. One just has to listen and look.
