Hopefully someone from the band reads this, because I really want you guys to know how much this song means to me. I've listened to tens of thousands of pieces of music (classical included), but not only is this song great on its own, coming from an exceptionally talented band, but it so closely mirrors my life that it's surreal. I'll detail out each point: - My wife and I went to the same high school but didn't like each other back then. Ten years later, right before our high school reunion, a mutual friend invited me to go to dinner with him and her. Reluctantly I went along. My wife and I were engaged 6 weeks later. It was "cold but it got warm... and certainly "love at second sight". - Our "song" that we used to sing to each other all the time is "You Are My Sunshine". Then in 2012 my wife gave birth to our daughter, who has beautiful blue eyes (like mine). "She has eyes just like her father's; they are blue when skies are grey" (part of the lyrics to You are My Sunshine) - My wife has been diligent about feeding our dogs their own food, while I usually have been a little liberal about giving them our table food. :) - "You curse the dog, you say that I should never feed them what is ours..." - We work exceptionally well together at home and are going on 11 years of marriage. No one ever complains about separation of things that need to be done around the house. "So I set the table, and you can make the fire." To the band: You guys rock - thanks for making such an awesome song. To my wife: "You're the love of my life; I'll never leave your side" ;)
Your stories just like dreams that are so beautiful. I hope your family always elated. Ps I'm not good English,.so there are some mistakes in my comment.
Van Le thi thanh Your English was good enough for me to get the message. Thanks very much for your nice comment. Just taking a guess here: "cảm ơn bạn" :)
Battle Axe Films Of course not. It seems that this Jack not in the band anymore. Nate did a single song. If you're a fan of Fun. You should know what I'm talking about.
When I first heard this song I cried. It's my absolute favorite song of all time. I sobbed when I heard it live. Even if they never make an album again, I can die happy knowing I saw this with my own two eyes. And I couldn't be more grateful.
"You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time, but it's not time, you never quit in all your life." This line has always got to me because it's quite sad but since being broken up with by the girl I thought I was going to be with forever a few months ago makes it so much sadder...
The piano and the twinkling guitar (only way I can describe the sound) is like, beautiful. Never get sick of hearing this song. The music is both simple and complicated and I find that all of Fun's music is catchy but it isn't the type of catchy that you can get sick of. And the lyrics are poetic and it tells a story and have I mentioned how much I love this song?
This is a beautiful song sung with such heart. The music of this trio is so professionally done, I am proud to say they are one of my most treasured groups to listen too. Thank you for your music Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost and Jack Antonoff. I thoroughly enjoy the art you create together.
The way Nate describes his parents and sister is so amazing, they all sound like the nicest persons in the world, but than again so does he. It's nice to see how grate full he is towards his family. Bless them all.
I almost always cry when I hear certain parts of this song. That's not a bad thing. This song helps me get in touch with emotions I need to feel. For that I am grateful.
Thank you for sharing this kind of unique video. I’ve never seen lovely and emotional lyrics and song. I could definitely say this song is the best in my life ever
this is just my favorite thing nate's little introduction, and his voice, and his hair and he is just amazing and the beautifully intricate guitar playing and the piano playing is just so lovely just everything about this
I love this song. I plan on using it as our first dance at my wedding :) ...I really don't understand how this café/intimate audience can be so quiet and reserved when there are fabulous artists just feet away? I would do anything for an intimate concert with Fun, Nate Rocks!! ~ Fort St John, BC --> we really enjoy great artists in our communities in Northern BC
I can't even comprehend how much emotional baggage is included with the story of this song. And the way he tells it is just genius! I- I don't even know what to say anymore...
I totally agree with you...IT really reaches ones soul...And it's kinda similar to what happened with my fmily... Hoow I would like live in the states and to et the chance to see them once :)
It's wonderful to see that the singer is as good, in my opinion even better, as what they sound like in the finishing product. There's only a few REAL good singers with out auto-tune in this world, and one of them is FUN.
I was at a show in Tempe, his parents were there, he played this song, and Nate told the audience " My fu _ _ - ing parents are here tonight". Such a punk but soooo gooooood! Can't wait to see them again even if it costs $100. next time.
well, he explains the song is from their first album, taht they can't play it in a previous concert, so they were going to play it now. Also he explains the song is about his parents and, finally, he says he spent Christma's with them and his sister at Portland. lui dici che la canzone è del primo album. Anche racconta che la canzone parla di suoi genitori e, alle fine, lui dici che è stato in Natale con loro e con la sua sorella.
Today I imagined hearing this song while dancing with you and it was the most amazing moment... until I realized that it didn't happen. We need to make it happen!

I was really surprised by your comment. I love it.
I think Nate had a bad childhood...so, he loves so much his family!
Chris Malone Awww sweet. That gets me warm inside. And to Fun., see how your songs make us feel that surreal. I miss you Fun.
What a love story. This song makes me tear up ..... Love it. Love Nate!
Same
I miss you Fun.
Are they dead?
Battle Axe Films Of course not. It seems that this Jack not in the band anymore. Nate did a single song. If you're a fan of Fun. You should know what I'm talking about.
Rayara Jackson LP I know, I just felt like being an asshole that night. Anyway, since when did Jack leave? I never heard anything about that?
Battle Axe Films They do not parted. But this jack touring with his band and Nate releasing music alone. I hope they launch a new album.
They are on something called Hiatus or something, that means that, the band is still together, but there is no plan for new music At the moment :)
probably my favourite fun. song
idk

Wow. His voice is just as pleasing during an acoustic set as it is on the album.
This is a beautiful song sung with such heart. The music of this trio is so professionally done, I am proud to say they are one of my most treasured groups to listen too. Thank you for your music Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost and Jack Antonoff. I thoroughly enjoy the art you create together.
You forget heath ledger..

Still desperately waiting for them to come back together. One of the best bands out there. 💔
Written for his parents and sang from the view point of his Mom... Beautiful!
This is my favorite song by FUN. Nate's voice is so amazing and calming (:
It’s 2018 and I miss Jack, Andrew and Nate performing together ☹️.
The emotion behind this song is so beautiful. One of my favourite songs of all time
I sent this song to my 80 year old parents. They now play it often!
This song gives me tears. It hits hard. Such a beautiful piece of music
when it's all said and done this band will be legendary and i'm glad i was here to witness the greatness that is "FUN"
amazing how the musicians anticipate the singer, most incredible, they work together so well, I am entranced! I love love this music!!!!!!

The song, the story, I can't explain the feeling that I get everytime I hear this song. Nate is a genius and I will not stop listening to their songs.

I hope he keeps it up. He’s been so invested all this time, I think Anna for him transcends reality.
This is so emotional... I'm in tears...
Keep hearing bits of Freddie Mercury in his voice which makes me love him even more!
Fun, can you just come back. This song is just everything ❤️.
This is a great song and love story by an amazing band. Keep up the good work Nate! 😊
Always looking forward to our future!
I love this song.

I'm soo happy for nate and the bands successes. They deserve it.
