To start off, I'd like to apologize for not posting yesterday. I decided I'm going to take Sundays off for my blogging in order to take a break and to prepare for the next week's blog posts. But I will still be posting 6/7 days a week and may still tweet something on Sundays if you feel you need some content on Sundays. And now to discuss today's song choice...
Nate Ruess is not a very well-known name; however, if you mention fun., people will know who you're talking about. Fun. is most famous for their songs "Some Nights" and "We Are Young" which played often on the radio. Nate Ruess is the lead singer of the band fun. and he began making his own music under his own name more recently. One of those songs under the name Nate Ruess is "Nothing Without Love", which is the song I chose today. It's not that I don't like fun. songs, because I think they can be great. I just really like this particular Nate Ruess song so I chose it to represent Nate Ruess as a solo singer and as well as the band fun..
Since I first began hearing Nate Ruess singing on the radio a while back, I have absolutely fallen in love with his voice. I find it to be so unique that I can't help but just listen to him sing forever. I don't have many artists that I can say that about, so that is why I found it necessary to post about him and his music. Anytime fun. comes on the radio or plays at a store, I immediately drop everything and announce to anyone I'm with that fun. is singing. I can't not pay attention to a fun. song if I hear it.
That being said, it is heartbreaking to say that I do not like all fun. songs. Unfortunately, I do not always agree with the content in their lyrics and I find it necessary to research the songs before getting them. I think compositions and talent should not necessarily be ignored just because of some bad tracks, so that is why I take the time to filter out which songs I'm okay with and just listen to all of those. I really wish Ruess created more family-friendly content so he would not limit his audience so much. I am hoping eventually he can come out with an album that is entirely clean, but until then I'll be there reading the words.
If you are like me and are picky about the songs you or your kids listen to and the lyrics that go into the mind on a daily basis, I've got you covered. All the songs I choose for this blog from all artist are carefully selected to be family-friendly. If you think you might want to give other fun./Nate Ruess songs a try without having to worry about content, I will provide a list of all the songs that are either clean or have clean versions of them so you can be worry-free. (Disclaimer: some of the songs I listed may have lyrics that imply adult subjects, but they're mostly limited to subtle references of drugs and alcohol).

I hope you enjoy listening to Nate Ruess' distinct voice as much as I do. One more comment I have to add about fun.'s music: for every fun. song on my iTunes, I wrote the genre as fun. instead of a real genre because I find them to be so unique they need their own genre. When creating this blog, I finally found out that the real genre for fun. songs is Indie Pop or Indie Rock. It makes sense now that I think their sound is so different because I don't think I have many other Indie Pop songs.
If you know any good Indie Pop or Indie Rock songs, let me know in the comments below and another day I might make it the song of the day (and of course I'll give you a shoutout in return)!
