I was listening to it in a store randomly yesterday. It was done by a male singer and sounded vaguely “indie.” The only lyric I remember is something like, “Right now, [something something], someday we’ll laugh about it.” Sorry for the vagueness.

The only song I can find with the lyrics “now” & “someday we’ll laugh about it” is by Krezip and there’s no way you could mistake the singer for a guy ☹

Sorry…that’s not it. This song has more of a harder, rock feel to it.

Not it either. Sorry, you guys. These hints are pretty vague, I know…Maybe it’s unfindable?

Searching for the keywords [“right now” +“laugh about”](http://seek.sing365.com:8080/cgi-bin/s.cgi?q=%22right%20now%22%20+%22laugh%20about%20it) on [sing365.com](http://sing365.com) yeilds 4 results.

1. Trophy Scars - Chapter One: How To Fail Yourself
2. Brie Larson - Shoebox
3. Good Charlotte - Say Anything
4. Swingin` Utters - Sign In A Window

#2 is a female singer so you can rule that one out. How about the other 3?
