• Sircharlso from Pueblo, Co Isn't anybody wondering what is being said underneath the long "come on" section? It is like a distorted radio transmission, or something.
• Sandy from UsaI think it's about his regret of selling his soul to Satan for fame & fortune. "I sold my soul for this....I'll miss my Mom & Dad for this?"
• Jonathan from CanadaJennie - Tho it seems like the lyrics are all over the place... I think it's because it's an internal, not external, struggle. He's dealing with conflicting constructs in his mind. Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
  Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
  
  This is indicative of an internal struggle of who/ what he feels he represents as a person.
  
  Looking into his nephew's eyes is the grounding point in the song. That despite all the struggle and angst... something amazing can come from it. A hit back to the reality of a world bigger than one's own deamons and battles.
• Jennie from Ansonia, CtI like this song and lately when I hear it the lyrics just seem to be all over the place when the singer talks about dying in the desert, then switches quickly to about his sister and his nephew. I get that family is important, b/c family is important to me to, but I think it doesn't fit in with the song. There are too many themes and sounds disorganized.
• Drew from Birmingham, AlWell yes, the entire "whoa" strand sounds like the end of Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia." I also agree with Camille that the group vocally sounds like Queen (in this song, anyway). Also, the lead singer has pretty much exactly the same sounding voice as Billy Joel!
• Phil from Calgary, AbGraceland was Paul Simon solo - no Garfunkel
• Summa from Northeast , OkI don't know what it is about the end of the song, but the last few lines about the dream he had really get me.
• Camille from Toronto, OhThe beginning of this song captures your attention when it starts playing on the radio. While I can see similarities to Cecilia, it also reminds me of the operatic songs by Queen, with all the voices singing together. I just saw the video this morning and my first thought is how well acted it is, passionate. I'm not sure I cared for a mediocre ending of the video, but perhaps if I watch it several more times I will get a better feel for it.
• Christi Peck from Spokane, WaLisa, Graceland is the name of an album by Simon and Garfunkel as well as a song. The album may have made him think about other songs of theirs. Every time I hear a song by Simon and Garfunkel I think of Cecilia because it is my favorite song by them. I noticed the similarities between that and Some Nights immediately and loved it instantly. Fun is truly amazing.
• Lisa from Downey, CaThat is Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkel.
