When you go to an Imagine Dragons gig, you’ll notice not only the usual swarms of pop-crazed teenagers but also a lot of families with little children, many of whom are definitely attending their first live show. As each member of the Las Vegas four-piece seizes a drum and beats the crap out of it, their eyes widen as they recite what has become many of the decade’s defining arena-rock choruses. By the end of the night, all those inexperienced newbies will have been spoiled by a colossal band that has nearly perfected the skill of writing songs that can be sung in front of 20,000 people at once. Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee, and Dan Platzman are unquestionably the most popular big-stage rock band of the decade, and the men are still doing well in the mainstream. But, for all of its pomp and circumstance, Imagine Dragons is often motivated by sadness, remorse, and deep contemplation, all of which can be found in the lyrics of some of the band’s most popular songs if you take a moment to stop singing along and truly listen to what you’re saying.
