"It's Time" is a song written and performed by American alternative rock band Imagine Dragons, taken from the band's 2011 EP ''It's Time'', major label debut EP ''Continued Silence'' as well as their major debut album ''Night Visions''. With production handled by Alex da Kid and Brandon Darner, the song is an indie rock song, and its lyrics describe the narrator's resistance to change in the face of great turmoil. The single was created prior to the recruitment of Daniel Platzman, and also prior to the departure of Andrew and Brittany Tolman. The song was first uploaded to YouTube on December 20, 2010, but did not receive an official single release until 2012. After the song was covered on ''Glee'' and heavy rotation in commercials and television shows, the song received commercial success and reached number 15 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, making it the band's first Top 40 single, as well as number four on the Alternative Songs chart and number three on the Rock Songs chart. With 32 weeks, it had the longest run on the Alternative Songs Top 10 in 2012. The single reached the top 10 in Austria (#6), Belgium (#1), Czech Republic (#10), Ireland (#9), India (#17) Japan (#7), ''Billboard'' Pop Songs (#10), and Portugal (#6) and peaked at number 23 in the United Kingdom. It was certified Platinum by the RIAA and CRIA, and Platinum by the ARIA. It was also nominated for Best Rock Video at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. +Not all work included. ==Music video== The music video debuted on April 17, 2012, on all MTV affiliates and the band was named PUSH Artist of the Week and later featured on PUSH Live. A first teaser released March 28, 2012. The video also reached #1 on Yahoo Music's Top Videos. The video starts with the band walking through a barren wasteland beneath a dark and ominous looking sky. The sky begins to grow more turbulent as the band walks past flags and boat wreckage, a destroyed bridge, and dead trees (which looks likes a post-apocalyptic San Francisco). Bassist McKee opens a box he has been carrying and a pale light glows from within. The band removes a pebble-sized, glowing orb from the box. The band members dig a hole for it with their hands, and then drop the orb into the ground. Lead singer Dan Reynolds then shouts, and in the next scene the band members are shown running away from their dig site. A large explosion throws Reynolds into the air where he seems to levitate (similarly to the ''Continued Silence'' album cover). Finally, the sky begins to part and the sunlight shines through—reminiscent of heavenly inspiration. The art design is vaguely reminiscent of that of ''The Lord of the Rings''. The music video was produced by Todd Makurath and directed by Anthony Leonardi III. Ian Clemmer, who created some of the visual effects, wrote on his website that he "was asked to create big, large scale smoke explosions in a short amount of time, these are the end shots of the video ...." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It's Time (Imagine Dragons song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
