Fresh off their wins at the Grammys for Best New Artist, Fun., one of last year's breakthrough acts, has released a pretty deep new stylish video for their latest sweet, melancholy soft ballad, "Why Am I the One," the fourth single from their massively successful sophomore LP, "Some Nights." The aesthetic offering coinciding with "Why Am I The One" features the dapper indie trio looking rather sad, due to a lost suitcase. There was clearly only one thread left: the story of a sad suitcase, and the clip mirrors their rise to fame.
"Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?" clad in a suit and tie, the indie-pop singer croons. "The song is about constantly being on the move; and that is something that we've been for the last ten years, but more so this year than any," frontman Nate Ruess speaking with MTV News. The accompanying visual for "Why Am I The One," was directed by Jordan Bahat, and filmed in Seattle. It finds the suited trio looking gloomy about a lost suitcase, all the while their baggage, like a hipper Brave Little Toaster, goes on an journey of its own from the airport to their Los Angeles home.
Everyone hates lost luggage, but Fun. have a surprisingly good attitude about dealing with a missing suitcase. The Grammy-winning rockers come up empty at baggage claim, and traverse the city looking forlorn but certainly not enraged. As Fun. wail-ask, "Why Am I The One?" as the dudes dress in fancy suits and look wistful while their precious cargo gets tossed all over creation, lost in a poker game, and strapped to the back of a motorcycle, eventually showing up at their doorstep. The band is thrilled, and when they open their luggage, pull out their instruments in perfect Mary Poppins fashion with a hint of magic. That's one special suitcase. Serendipity. And this might sound strange, but we've legitimately never been so moved to see someone reunite with an inanimate object before. After all, they've had a whirlwind year, and lost their luggage and lament is just one of the things they've had to deal with on their rather remarkable rise to stardom. The video is Fun. at their finest - wistful, very stylish, and cleverly executed. It's surprisingly compelling, and you can follow the baggage on its journey now by pressing play below.
