Podcast: "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons: Why is it so weird sounding? And the MUSIC VIDEO!?

Imagine Dragons is working up to releasing their new album Evolve, and "Thunder" has got to be the most eclectic popular song I've heard all year. Seriously though. This song is fantastic, but in this podcast we're going to expose it for just how fantastic it is. Is it about epic conquest? Is it about deeper questions in life? Is it about Dan Reynolds's life? Yes, to all three! But we'll see how and more soon! Plus, we'll be looking at how the music, music video, and lyrics compliment each other perfectly. 

Thanks for listening, everyone, and don't forget to rate and review!
