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.

[@chrismalone9156]

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" :)

[@VanLe-ik8be]

I was really surprised by your comment. I love it.

[@Yep6803]

I think Nate had a bad childhood...so, he loves so much his family!

[@claretabernilla2676]

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.

[@RayaraMaria]

I miss you Fun.

[@OhhBiscuits]

Are they dead?

[@RayaraMaria]

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.

[@OhhBiscuits]

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?

[@RayaraMaria]

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.

[@henriktheonly3874]

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 :)

[@jessmirls5599]

probably my favourite fun. song

[@independentfreepress-ifp236]

idk

[@emily-qe3yu]

'I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose. I will buy the flower shop and you will never be lonely.' These will FOREVER be my favourite lyrics.

[@MaxwellLeadershipOfficial]

What a love story. This song makes me tear up ..... Love it. Love Nate!

[@xharveyplaysmcx2126]

Same

[@MidasOfMesses]

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.

[@OhhBiscuits]

"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...

[@megableful]

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?

[@sproggs]

Wow. His voice is just as pleasing during an acoustic set as it is on the album.

[@isszJD]

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.

[@jhonnydanre1418]

You forget heath ledger..

[@belsque5928]

It’s 2018 and I miss Jack, Andrew and Nate performing together ☹️.

[@eryaish1]

Written for his parents and sang from the view point of his Mom... Beautiful!

[@TEA_PHX]

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.

[@writerchick7098]

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.

[@laurenkelly214]

This is my favorite song by FUN. Nate's voice is so amazing and calming (:

[@mystruggletobeadecenthuman5121]

Still desperately waiting for them to come back together. One of the best bands out there. 💔

[@katedrexl3574]

I sent this song to my 80 year old parents. They now play it often!

[@pablopenaloza7914]

Totally agree with you. The song and his voice.

[@nica2572]

I always listen to this every night picturing how my live would be like one day 🥺😢💗 I really love this piece.. Makes very emotional 😌

[@emstace]

Keep hearing bits of Freddie Mercury in his voice which makes me love him even more!

[@parthdatar]

I hope he keeps it up. He’s been so invested all this time, I think Anna for him transcends reality.

[@miasalvador6896]

this is my ultimate favorite song of all time

[@slj62299]

This song is underrated AF. My baby has liked this song since she was 13... 6 years ago...

[@strangelyerect3047]

His vocals have matured so well since his "the format" days!

[@23missjenn]

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

[@greatwoconda]

My heart is exploding from happiness too!

[@alexandermeek7052]

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...

[@reedophoff6869]

Sometimes you can barely tell the difference between the soundtracks of their album and their live performces. They're so good at performing!

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

yeah, they were 😢

[@greatwoconda]

[@BIGBEACHEDWHALE]

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.

[@greatwoconda]

Miss you!

[@greatwoconda]

Wishing I'd hear from you!
