LYRICS
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a glass
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

![Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](/img/tr.png)
Someone once explained this video, that 'tonight we are young' is here represented by the girl losing her virginity. The video is full of symbols and I can't remember all the meanings exactly, but the apple is a symbol for her virginity and by cutting it she is giving away her virginity, and at the end she bleeds. Her face also expresses the different stages and emotions you go trough when you're having your first time. Anyway, if you understand the meaning, this video is actually really great and better than the other one. I just wish the original explanation was still up here and not hidden somewhere between all the other comments...
You know, being young, doing stuped things etc :p The girl is actually a great actress, it's not easy to express those emotions while looking at the camera the entire time and remaining serious.
Ezpoow Even the part of just cutting the apple, and how she cut the skin of the top of it first is a strong symbol, and how she gets happy and excited and even cuts the lower half off even quicker. I think that and the blood as lipstick was the strongest points of the video for me
i can no longer listen to this song the sane
OMG I had no idea that was the meaning....weird
Lame
Moral of the video : Be careful when cutting an apple...
i hope you get that this is allegory to losing virginity?
Lets make a sequel! Next episode: Cutting an ORANGE

I like how this video starts out B&W and gradually over the first 50 seconds there is more color saturation, until the big moment of the hook, it becomes fully saturated. Very nice effect I think.
I just love this girl's facial expressions. her eyes and her expressions depict every aspect of a relationship and how one goes through changes. how a relationship starts, how it goes through ups and downs, and how the forbidden apple comes in place, and how she experiences the different stages in the relationship. her expressions reflect friendship, emotions, love, happiness, sadness, anxiousness, madness, ego, betrayal, and regret. Just an AMAZING video.
SHE WENT YOLOOOOOOOOOO WITH THE APPLE
I remember listening to this before they got famous and made that mainstream videoclip for this same song. this one was and will allways be better
+Alberto Achega Leitão Good job
Stfu no one cares you God damn hipster.
What do you mean? This video wasn't made by fun.
I find it odd that they call this preliminary music video "audio only" as if they're embarrassed of it... it's way better than the one that's just them singing slow mo for 4 minutes straight. At least it's unique and thought provoking, which is what art should be.
I think it's about the feelings behind a relationship.
Everything before cutting the apple is everything leading up to a couple's first time having sex. When it actually happens, it's an intimate landmark that feels more fascinating than enjoyable. As the relationship becomes more sexual, she cuts the apple faster in excitement (faster cutting=more sex). They break up when there's nothing left (no skin), she's in shock, and hurts herself.
Pain=Blood=Lipstick=Maturity
Pain=Maturity
The girl's name is Alyssa Reeder, she's an assistant editor on Teen Vogue if I remember correctly
I'd like to disagree she is ssunbiki korean model
I love this band. Their music reminds me of simpler times, when my baby sister was still alive. Listening to them will always remind me of good times with her❤
NO WAY!!! PANIC! BROUGHT ME TO THE BAND THAT DID this SONG??? I'VE LOVED THIS FOR YEARS AND NOW I KNOW WHO DID IT
inotherwords SAME
i don't get why everyone is so upset about the video?
its actually pretty awesome.
there's always someone
Probably because she can't peeled an apple just like me and i'm feeling uncomfortable
I miss the memories i had while listening to this song.
Oh yeahh keep cutting that apple for me. LMAO
Mr. Poopchillan your profile picture looks like Superman and Sasuke had a child
chris o oneal hahaha!
A relationship goes warm then cold! Showing emotional range! Love it!
This video's title should be "How to peel an apple while staring at you!"
this music video is BRILLIANT!!!!! WONDERFULLY DONE!!!!
i can't believe it's been 7 years since the song was released i still remember i was in high school and played this song in the farewell party....everytime i listen to this i go back in that time.
I love this version just as much as I like the newer video. If any of you actually bothered to pay attention to the video you realise that it actually makes sense. Sometimes things more simpler appearing like this are just as good as more crazy stuff. Anyway, the video doesent necessarily matter, what matters is that this is a amazing song.
Anyone know who the girl in this video is? She kind of looks like me.
Alyssa Reeder
no she dont
She does look kinda like you miss. But lol your kinda more cute than she is. But this is my opinion.
Oml your a youtuber
YesReneau if you know who she is, than you would have been known as her.
Her ayes are staring into my soul
Fun's songs are so damned unique. Catchy, full of feeling, musical. Real breath of fresh air.
Look at how pleased with herself she is as she peeling an apple at the beginning. "Oh my GAWD this is the best part of my day. I wake up for this." she silently thinks to herself.
oh mann she beautiful
She lives above the bar and all the smashing around causes her lights to flicker. She is also distracted by the very loud music and all of this causes her to cut her hand and faint.
That's the story for me. You won't change my mind.
I bet she's just watching some soap opera, mexican one.
Lets make a sequel! Next episode: Cutting an ORANGE #1eaSBHD2ssA
she lost her virginity, it was way of showing without sex, watch how she reacts , blood after first sex etc... cmon
One of the best episodes!
I’m in love with this girl from the audio of F.U.N and It is hard to believe this pop band is lurking through my head inside me. ❤️😍❤️
Last time I watched this...it induced my labor. Hopefully the second round works too...we'll find out tonight!
Well??? Lol
young kids like peeling apples and having desires to set the world on fire.
OMG DUDE I SAW MY SISTER WATCHING THIS YEARS AGO BUT WHEN I ASKED HER WHAT IT WAS SHE SAID SHE FORGOT BUT I FINALLY FOUND IT
This one it´s my favorite video of we are young... i just love it...
this makes me uncomfortable
Who is this girl??? What's her name?
Daphnée Auditore Alyssa Reeder
She makes me smile!
i love this girl ! ♥
We Are 癢
o alivi Fuck off
We are in commercial
I have no idea why I like this video but it kept my attention.
she is sooooooooooooo beautiful
Watch it with no audio.
Enjoy.
When will people learn not to cut apples in bed?
increible lo que es este tema que fuerza tiene, Me encanta y no me canso de escucharlo
😍❤️💜 love,love u guys so much xxxx
what is this???
wow shes terrible at peeling apples LOL
Lmao that’s all you have to comment, agreed though:)
This song still into heart
Holy shit. No way. I have totally not seen almost that exact thing written a hundred times since this video came out.
Who else watching this in 2018 going on 2019? ??????
what is the point of this comment?
who is this girl
please tell me
Same here, she makes good sexual faces.
Found out, her name is Alyssa Reeder.
very beautiful song,i never bored hearing it , i love so mush
i loved it
dis is really creepy
I don't know why but this video is more interesting than the actual one.
I was just thinking that. Why is that I wonder...
Wow. I would've never thought of the deep meaning behind this, I initially just looked at the surface of the video and first thought, "this is pretty dumb", but thanks a lot for clarifying that perfectly!
Oh, and that way You've killed the magic.. I don't wanna live anymore.. there's nothing more than pure realism.
WHY DOD SHE CUT HER FINGER??!! WAS SHE DRUNK?!
Soken-Tohan Egua'gie no she was young lol
She's watching soap operas.
A old song still loved
This Video is so MEANINGFUL !
WTF!!!!!!!!! Why would any body do a video for a song with a girl piling an appel and she cuts herself and use the blood for lipstick .
Spoiler alert 😔
She's making a mess, those are white sheets.
When I saw the video with my G/F, I was amazed how good she acts pleasure^^ My G/F just replied to me "of course, it's easy, I do it sometimes!" :(
Nostalgic ✨
So, sit here and be cute.
Its a shame.. looks like a Honey Crisp apple and 50% of it gets shaved off big waste.. such a tasty apple
I think it is a honey crisp, it really is such a shame
Reminds me of last decade, it was amazing
this song will forever remind me of my 18th birthday :)
For anyone who is wondering:
This video is supposed to symbolize a woman about to lose her virginity. Peeling the apple is clothes coming off/foreplay. The cut/blood represents the actual act of sex.
Nah, it's just a girl cutting an apple.
Platypuff 😂😂😂
WTF is this? Who thought this was a good idea?
is beautiful
That's a beautiful thing about being beautiful. You don't even need to have any talent, and the world will find you. 8.9 million views and counting.... Congrats!
this is my favorite song
i love this music... :)
Amo Essa Musicaa
I caught this when it was posted in September and for years I thought that when the actual music video came out in December, they had retconned this version.
The funny thing is that despite the absolute chokehold this song had on Adult Contemporary top 40, this video has less than a tenth of a percent of the views of the music video posted 3 months LATER
Damn, it’s been over 9 years since I found this video. I wonder what she looks like today. So many things have gone by in such a short time. Lost my wife and kids, uncle got murdered, dad passed away last year and now two uncles due to COVID. This song brings a lot of memories.
that was awesome
adoro ESTA MÚSICA.
]
i was search for this song about 5 months !!!! lol :D
We Love İt.
wow I would of gone mad searching for that long! :-) it would bug me in my sleep.
I love these songs happy sad all over the rainbow.
Thank You Veery Mach
