In a way all its own, “Some Nights” does a wonderful job showcasing the unique tonality and passion that is captured in lead singer, Nate Ruess’ performance. With a very forward and attention grabbing presentation, the song exemplifies a blending of classic rock like themes and vocal delivery that is an almost instant reminder of the likes of Freddy Mercury, Don McLean and others. That combo is then packaged into a slick digital production, giving it the modern feel that that appears to be Fun’s signature. Naturally, we think the song is fantastic. We hope you agree.
