[@becstar2099]

[@Sarah.vitellaro]

His voice is so unique and his appearance is so intriguing

[@TheCha0ticartist]

The similarity in appearance between Nate and Guy Pearce is just WOW.

[@clintcania5075]

My new fave group from now>> i hope another song in their album (Some Nights, Carry On, or All Alright) will win another grammy and hopefully bring home Record of the Year.

[@ciaragorski8443]

I LOVE THIS MAN HES THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

[@wtollick0953]

Great Interview. after seeing Nate with Pink and just being attracted by songs like "We are Young"; i want to see more from "FUN". rock it Nate you Pessimistic Optimist.

[@kwanyeung2010]

Fun. just keep being who they are no matter the sex, age, religion...etc They are a shining star and they are the who they are! Carry on!!!!!!

[@SexyRobinLives]

I love hearing the band talk about people singing along at their shows, because that's exactly what happens. Everyone knows every word; it's incredible.

[@erification215]

Holy GOD, YES. Love that man[: And Andy and Jack too of course. :D

[@FragilisticGirl]

I would too. He's so contagiously handsome (:

[@xOStarryEyedOx23]

He looks so sad :( he's lovely :)

[@chopchopa13]

I dont know. I really like his voice. If he is or not, I m still in love with his voice:)

[@OpalBees]

As a young song writer, this man is my hero.

[@OpeAaron]

Reading this thread back and forth actually gives me hope that people still listen to and appreciate real music. I don't want to be that cheesy guy that's all "yo yo check out my channel" but I recorded a few friends here and it's the indie scene in my city that I love the most. Also, check out City Streets (Montreal, some people are using the same name), Josh Ritter, Tatam Reeves and Picture the Ocean if you want some bands with amazing lyrics.

[@SuperMinezz]

lol "its magic it is" he is perfection

[@GodDamnit7711]

I hope the song he made with Eminem is awesome!!!

[@GrimyGoblin]

It was amazing lmao I know I’m late

[@charlottecatanach6400]

he is so cute and not arrogant at all. he has no idea how amazing Fun. are.

[@luvtosingadele]

he is gorgeous inside and out

[@Djozski07]

1:35 to the person who kept giving me dirty looks for singing along the whole time! But that's okay I got compliments from someone else!

[@CrimsonKunoichi01]

He wore that. That day. When we held each other's gaze.. for a second, for an eternity. LAWL cool concert

[@RitaRoxs]

They look absolutely beautiful on the video.

[@XxBossXxTam]

I looooovvveeeee him omgodness....

[@rachellostinoregon]

If they were ever going to have a long-lost brother/ and or uncle on Glee for Kurt...I think Nate would play it perfectly...they have similar features.

[@XdisXesXwhyXimXhawtX]

I know, love, I've been a fan of them since the beginning. (And a fan of Nate's old band, The Format, before that.) I just like pissing people off.

[@erification215]

So, uh......the bracelet he was wearing? I definitely made that. And every time I see a recent picture of Nate wearing it, I just get so happy, and I love him even more. I can't believe he's still wearing it. I gave it to him over a month ago! :)

[@neonglory09]

ILOVEYOU NATE! :**
