[quote:daydreamin:MV8yMTA4NzkzXzM1NTQ5NDEwXzIwMDJCNDUz] Another one from Bobby Ray Live! Seriously if you hate music this guy may change your mind This is him when he was not famous vs. now that he is. Enjoy! Check out him on the piano http://youtu.be/xlA_6cxpt9k Here he plays the guitar and rocks out! Trust me he's possibly the most all around talented musician with a positive and awakening message and only time will prove me right perhaps Don't Let Me Fall http://youtu.be/mI4frfQ6s4c [/quote]

I kept hearing a song by Fun on the radio called “Some nights”. It had all these elements, plus it sounded rousing and seemed apropos of the zeitgeist of our nation in some way. So I went online to see the video.
This song asks the question “What do I stand for?” against the backdrop of the War of Northern Aggression (more widely known as the American Civil War). In this video, the singer is depicted as a soldier for the Federal Government.
The singer seems to be ambivalent about the cause, and questions his involvement, but, like all young people, is driven by his passions and the notion of a “cause”. The song has a distinct martial feeling in the rat-tat-tat of the drumming.
