While the music of Imagine Dragons is emotionally revealing, there is one small fact the band has chosen to keep to themselves: the true meaning behind their name. On more than one occasion, the guys have mentioned how the Imagine Dragons moniker is actually an anagram made from the letters of different words. They've also made a point of keeping those original words a band secret, which has lasted for the four years since they got together. "We haven't even told our families," Reynolds said to Radio.com during an exclusive interview from Anchorage, Alaska, where the band was set to perform a sold-out show. "I don't know if they'd forgive us if we broke it right now. We'd have to have a big meeting with all of the guys to see if they wanted to do it." "At this point, it's been built up so much that anything we say is going to be a letdown," added Wayne Sermon, the band's guitarist. "We might just leave it up to everyone's imaginations. They probably have better guesses than the real answer." more on this story

fun. frontman Nate Ruess told Rolling Stone their song "Sight of the Sun" was originally written for their album Some Nights but didn't make the cut as one of the samples wasn't cleared. "So we got really dejected and put it away until Lena [Dunham] called," Nate said. "I ended up rewriting the chorus and actually like it better than the sample now! We recorded most of this in Italy on a day off from tour and I just remember us eating an Italian feast at the studio and barely being able to communicate with the engineers, which was kind of cool because it eliminated all small talk and put the focus into the song." more on this story

The song may take on extra relevance if the news that Swift has broken up with Harry Styles (of boy band One Direction) is true.
