Released: March 8, 2013

[Verse 1]
There's a red house over yonder
That's where my baby stays, oh
Lord, there's a red house over yonder
Lord, that's where my baby stays
I ain't been home to see my baby, oh
In ninety nine and one half days

[Verse 2]
Wait a minute, something's wrong here
This key won't unlock the door, oh
Wait a minute, something's wrong here
This key won't unlock the door
And I got a bad, bad feeling, oh
That my baby don't live here no more
(On the bass)

[Verse 3]
Well I might as well go on over yonder, yeah
Back up on the hill
(Now there's something)
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder 'cross the hill
'Cause if my baby don't love me no more, oh
I know her sister will!
Take us home, Wayne!

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
Oh
Oh
Oh, you love me so good
C'mon, one more time
Get it
Oh

Imagine Dragons

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
