My mama got sick with cancer in September of 2011 and passed away April 4, 2012 when I was 12 years old. I remember listening to this song with my cousin who would come to visit with my aunt and uncle. They would come to take care of my mama. There was something so magical about the colors, how the jellybeans move from frame to frame. The song made my heart feel okay for a little while as I watched the video. I’m 22 years old now. I still remember every part of this song. It will always have a special place in my heart.

It was just so heart warming and calming and it just put us in this trance that I never thought I'd have. Since then, I've been a devoted Kina Grannis fan and it's hard to believe that it's been 2 years since then. Love you Kina, never stop following your dreams. You're an excellent artist who deserves way more recognition than more than half of today's pop stars.

I'm a Taiwanese, I heard this song in a night when it first came out during the time I was a freshman in college, at first I thought to myself, "hmmm, good song..." then I went to take a shower, found myself humming this song, then I realized that... "omg, it's a GREAT song!" Ever since then, I became a fan of Kina Grannis, but I was in Taiwan, and back then there are really little ppl know about her in Taiwan. Needless to say how hard it would be to listen to her live concert, I couldn't even find her album in stores. 5 or 6 years later, I came to Canada to study, thrilling to hear that she's going to have a concert in Canada so I finally got a chance to meet this Super talented Artist. I went with my gf, and of course, I got Kina a new fan after that concert. Might be a boring story but...hey, that's almost a dream come true to me.

Hi this may sound lame or cheesy but your songs kinda got me ready to brace myself to any circumstances I'm going thru right now. I have this girl i really love I've been with her for 5 years now and i cherish her in a daily basis but sometime tragedies comes our way like normal people. This song reminds me of the day i saw that sparks,the butterflies in my stomach,and first laugh i saw the first time I dated her back in year 2010. Right now I'm in the middle of situation where i don't know if we will ever see again cause her parents might start to forbid me to see her and this heavy feeling I'm having in my chest and the tears that drops in my eyes doesn't feel right. You guys made me felt good in a way by just listening to your tracks and still gives me hope that someday i get to see her smile again,feel that warm hugs, and that voice when she sings to me when i feel down. Thank you. Keep it up, I meant it.

I hope you chased her and showed your worth and won over her parents in the end. Ironically, my interest in Kina is not entirely just because of Kina. I'm a little biased because I know a girl who is her doppleganger. When my younger sister was in the womb, my mother had 2 friends pregnant at the same time. The women gave birth to 3 girls, very similar in age and remained loose friends for 3 decades. My mother always fancied the idea of me ending up with one of them. The other two girls actually lived in the next city over though and my sister and I were a bit "outsider" to their circle of friends. In particular, one of them... She is a dead ringer for Kina. Gorgeous head of dark curls, a smile that can light up a room, 7000 miles away. We actually had many of the same interests and we were both very nice people who spent most of our youth putting a large amount of time volunteering and helping elderly and disadvantaged people. We ended up getting almost the exact same guitar many years later, totally independently and she learned to play and sing like a songbird... pretty similar sound to Kina too, about 10 years before YT. I actually liked her quite a bit as we both grew up and occasionally met in various circumstances, from family barbecues at her house as a child, family outings at the local lagoon in her area, at various parties once we were old enough to drive and one magical evening on the lawn in front of the house I was living at a going away house party shortly before I left Canada when I discovered her breathtaking voice... but I lacked the tools to express my feelings - and probably didn't really understand them very well anyways. Unfortunately, we were both kinda quiet "nice kids" and as you know in life, nice guys finish last. Both of us went largely ignored by our peers romantically and we were both still single in our late 20's. However, I was in Asia at the time and she was in Canada. When I was here for a couple of years, my sister was with me as we did a small hike and we sat for a rest on a stone and talked. Our conversation somehow moved over to this girl and how, of all the girls my sister knew, she thought she would be the best match for me and she knew she was starting to look to settle down too. My sister didn't know, but we had started talking for a couple of months by email and started to kindle something, which brought me tremendous joy... however, it petered out because of the physical distance between us was just too much for her to overcome. When I went back to Canada a little while later, I ran into her in a chance encounter and found out that she had married a nice young man in her area after just 4 months of dating. I still remember when we spoke and she told me and that tiny wince of pain as a lifetime of dreams were suddenly shattered into a million pieces... barely flickered through as I did my best to cover it up in my facial expressions. But I saw her see it in my eyes. She knew. We carried on the illusion for a few more minutes and then she was gone. I've not heard from her since and having lived in Asia now for nearly 2 decades, I've lost contact with all my friends in Canada. Even my sister, who is now a married mom, has lost contact. To my knowledge, she remains happily married with him. I hope she's happy. More than a decade later, I've gone through my own ups and downs. I've seen much, lost much and gained much. The man I wasn't as a teenager and in my early twenties, I have now become as a powerful and assertive man who has now encouraged literally hundreds of people at low points in their lives that young men and older men alike look up to. I have no idea what life would have held for me if I had ended up with her, but a strange feeling tells me that it wouldn't have gone as well as I wished. The man I have become is partly due to the depths I fell to as I failed in life as a youth, struggling with undiagnosed depression and a decision I made about 6 years ago to either live or die. I actually chose to die, but another chance encounter led me to end up going another way, thus the story of my life, making decisions and then eventually doing the exact opposite because life just has other ideas. But there will forever be a place in my heart for her. Closed of course, but always there. And always empty.

I've had this stuck in my head all day but couldn't remember enough of the words to look it up. And then I remembered it was the song with the jelly beans

This is the most creative, original music video I've ever seen. Great song, too; it's really fun to sing. :D

Oh hey, I remember this, I was kinda young when this first came out and I was in love with the fact that it was made with just jelly beans. That still astonishes me to this day and I just LOVE the visuals! Not to mention that this song won't leave my head. I used to watch this over and over when it's show up on the music video thing MTV used to do in the morning. It was on Nick before victorious as well, I think? Anyways, your work is awesome, Kina. It's great :D

My 2 month old daughter loves this song, always smiles at the start before putting her to sleep

This may sound weird, but this video is my secrete weapon while taking care of kids. Show this to a child rolling around and screaming and it instantly pacifies and intrigues them. Ideal to use before nap or bedtime. So in other words, Kina you wrote and filmed a masterpiece that reaches humans of all ages :)

Very impressive! The amount of time, effort, and patience put forth definitely didn't go to waste! Amazing video as well as the song. I don't usually buy songs, but I think I'll buy it just because of how awesome this is! :).
