''A Moment'' We Are Yong-Fun (feat.Janelle Monae )

‘’We are Young’’ by Fun (featuring Janelle Monae) This song is a moment. I'm sure when this song is played, it emits a certain nostalgia that is felt regardless of age or time. The message and how the song is engineered tells us the listener, a narrative of youth, having fun and being in love. It's what I like to call ‘’ a moment’’. We have all at some point experienced it. I have a personal connection with this song. Yes, it involves me attending my Jr High graduation dance, It was in the school cafeteria. And yes, I had a love interest and we kissed while this song was playing, and it was ...as you can guess ‘’a moment’’. The moment was unanimous in joy and positivity. There between me and my love interest lied a sense of wonder and possibility that filled the room that night. So, it's safe to say the song brings back memories to me.
