This song awakens a level of emotion in me that nothing else has ever come close to, every time I listen to it. It could be because we had the album back when it was released, and we used to play it in the car, because that was the only radio we had.
I remember that our favourites were Some Nights, and We Are Young (the two most popular of the album), and we'd play them on repeat again and again. If it were a particularly long car journey, we'd sometimes even make it through the entire album, but that happened once in a blue moon, because everything we needed was a few minutes from where we lived. A simpler time, through and through.
I have no idea why, but this song holds much more nostalgia than any other song in the album, and I actually found myself crying while listening to it on a car journey very recently. Again, I have no idea why it's only this song, because at the time, I'd have played the second and third songs on a loop for hours.
Verdict: I love the song, holds a lot of emotional weight for me, great album too. It's a rare occourance that an album shows up without a single bad song. You know how you buy an album for a single song, and overlook the rest of them, Some Nights is a truely consistantly great album. 10/10.
