I'm sitting at my desk working, tears in my eyes! But I'm a 43-year-old man's man! Haha! My 17-year-old daughter was really into them a few years ago (still digs them), so we all kind of got into them, saw them in concert a couple times. This song has always slayed me! And she is finishing her junior year, about to go to prom, talking about colleges she wants to go to, things are moving so fast...all that in my head, and then I play this song?! I'm a mess! Hahaha!
One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Lyrically, musically, and the passion put into it. So beautiful. Might actually be my favorite. A big battle between "I'm still here" by John Rzeznik and this.
I came across this song while looking for the lyrics the Kenny Rogers song - these lyrics make me cry. It shows the life I wish I had - not the one that I lived...I think I'd be happy to give any years I have left in this life to the people depicted in this song. I look back and the last 55 years seem wasted breath, and the future looks like more of the same...
They are the best band period and I don't like that people can't get over that they are just rock becuase they aren't at all they are so many different awesome things. *peace sign* spread fun.
Every time I hear this song I get such a weird feeling. Its kind of a nice feeling, but mixed up with a little pain. I think its just so awsome to see that there can be real love and I am just happy to know that his parents had this unbelievable nice love story (althought i dont know them or even him :D), it just makes me smile.
Saw them in concert here in Portland...Nate is charismatic and just as good live (or better) than on CD. I didn't think my love for fun. could grow, but it has.
my god, why have i only just heard of them this past year? i need this song and others i'm finding that are not on some nights. this song nearly brought me to tears.. beautiful.
This song will always have a soft spot in my heart. It always remind's me of my partner because we found aim & ignite around when we first started dating.
Im gonna be honest, I first heard Fun. from we are Young. then some Nights but now I love them sooo much. theyre seriously so amazing. I just........ I cant even. Nate, you're voice is like an angel. Jack, so talented at the gutair. Andrew, the fact that we both play the french horn makes us soul mates. ;) ♥
THIS is the Fun. I know. Before all the auto-tune and pop fluff. I still listen to Aim and Ignite like it's new. I ADORE Nate, Jack, and Andrew; they embodied the classic sound of Queen and new age theatrical lyric-driven music. I can't wait until they go back to THIS.
I like how they focus on Nate for the first two minutes and then the camera pans over to the guitarist like "Oh yeah, and this guy is here too", lol Lovely song
Amazing band. This song, from the "Aim & Ignite" CD that came out in 2009 is why fun. will just get better and better. Superb songwriting, vocals and keyboards/guitar. If you can make music like THAT in front of the mixing board and NOT on the other side of the glass where the acoustics make everything better... you're NOT a flash in the pan.
Almost every time i hear this song i cry but its always a happy cry :) Nates mom MUST have been an amazing woman since Nate talks about her so much in his music. Its a shame that she had to go so early but she will ALWAYS be alive in there music.
Why is everyone complaining about auto tune in their songs when they've only used it in one song and it was only put in there for one part not thoughout the whole song
They're on hiatus right now and all of them are doing their own thing right now. They say that they will come back when they feel inspired to and that they are not breaking up.
Im upset that two people disliked this! Also I'm upset about the first album, there no songs played on the radio, every song on that first album could have made it number 1.What were the labels thinking?? At Least I'm Not as Sad as I Used to Be should have won a grammy!!
I must admit their lyrics always gives inspiration to me and maybe to all of you out there.. This is what they called talented people where there are meaningful lyrics and a person that can sing live as good as in a studio. Hope they'll continue to make meaningful songs for us without some influence from new shit tune and stuff. I still love 'em.
I do love how he isn't putting this song behind. I saw them a month ago, this is one of the few Aim and Ignite songs they played. And the only one to be on their new itunes session. So wonderful
i usually hate auto-tune, but i love how they do with that, they use it well. i love both aim and ignite and some nights and i think they're getting better and better.
