Fun.: Carry On [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Directed by Anthony Mandler and featuring an original score by Andrew Dost

LYRICS
Well I woke up to the sound of silence
The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains
And heart like the Fourth of July

You swore and said
We are not
We are not shining stars
This I know
I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
To know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends
At the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked
About how our parents will die
All our neighbours and wives

But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you want of me

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Woah
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
Cause after all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one's ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away
So we'll come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

When the world needed him most, he vanished

[MorwenMcGregor]

My sister introduced me to many years ago. Before this album. But I was going through treatment for breast cancer when this was released. I had no desire to go out and be with anyone and my sister dragged me to their concert. I locked eyes with young woman there with her daughter. And we knew, we recognized each others as survivors. We held hands and sang as loud as we could through this song. It gave me hope. I lost my sister in October, I'm trying to find that hope again. This song and that amazing memory I have, of that amazing concert..it helps.

[keen]

It's 10 years now and this song still hits hard

[marclouly]

Does anyone else think Nate Ruess is super underrated, he has a huge vocal range and uses it with such power and emotion

[alekhya]

To everyone who thinks they split up:
They just wanted to pursue their individual goals for a bit.
They haven't split up.
I do hope they come back soon, though.

[anonimusp]

The lyric “my head is on fire, but my legs are fine, after all they are mine” is so simple yet so powerful.

No matter how bad you’re feeling, you are the one who’s encharge. You can always get out of tough times if you have the will to do so.

[sanfriday]

I just love how Nate enjoys his own music. I have never seen any artist enjoy themselves in their music video like the way he does

[IloveNateReuss]

It’s 2020 boys, time to make a comeback

[UnorthodoxIndividual]

These dudes straight up dropped 3 of the best hit songs of the 2010s and vanished off the face of the earth

[favourekebafe]

Who's here 2024? One of my best songs ever

[TheFoxSummoner]

I was 15 when this came out..I used to laugh, scream and cry this song out..I’m glad I’ve come back to it now at 25..the message still rings true and feels like home..Thank you FUN

[annabelldemelo]

[yaretzygarcia]

so he really dropped carry on, we are young and some and dipped

[shanerichards]

Mad respect to anyone who is still listening to this masterpiece.

[cheyenne]

This song helped me through so many stages of my life. It helped me through middle school, it helped me through living in an abusive household, it helped me through high school, and most recently it helped me through losing my brother, then my grandma and mom. I seriously love this song, and even though these people will never know of my existence, I'll always be thankful. They helped heal a small part of me.

[Razsound]

They could’ve been the next queen, they definitely dropped 3 of the greatest songs of the 2010s

[Carlosleonx]

I lost my job, I couldn't continue paying for college, and I fell drastically like a stone to the ground, I felt alone and I was alone for a long time since the pandemic began (for me the strongest and saddest experience of my life). literally, i watched my world collapse, still I managed to carry on, yes Carry on!, now I tell to everyone "May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground", I got a new job a week ago, I hope to go back to college during the summer and carry on and meet my goals! greetings to all.

[bradyfournier]

I think it’s safe to say there will never be anyone or anything who can make me feel more nostalgia than fun.

[zarneobaker]

"No one's ever gonna stop us now"
Except themselves.
Come back.

[paulinarm]

I found my teenage son listening to this song when he was going through a tough period. It both broke my heart and comforted me to know he listened to these healing lyrics. I adopted the song myself, and find it so comforting and encouraging when I'm struggling.

Love to all of you.
