i know they didnt make a record for this song but does anyone know a places to get a clean version of this song please i love this song so much and it would it mean soooo much?!?! xx
I cannot believe how natural-sounding and spectacular and flawless Nate's voice is. He must be amazing live. I'll find out soon. And Sam writes the most beautiful guitar work. It's perfect.
@fmitawol same here! they opened for the get up kids, dashboard confessional, and thrice in that order. I was like 10 or 11 then and im just about 18 now. when i saw them i had no idea who they were but now years later i think they are the best indie band... ever.
this is one of my favorite songs of all time and this is the best performance of the song ive seen due to all the background noise from the cars passing by it truly adds to the song
don't talk about it. It's not true if you don't say it.
I actually saw Fun. a few weeks ago. It was really good, and since I never got to see the Format live, it's the next best thing. I'm never going to forgive them for breaking up though. Look at this video; sam and nate were just perfect players together.
@sweetkitten33 im aware...i actually went to FUN's concert. It wasn't as good as the format though, i mean nate is still awesome with a beautiful voice...but without sam, its just not the same.
@ccatie456 lol u know whats funny sam the guitar player his wife or girl whatev was friends with my sister we got there first cd before anyone lol it was so awesome knowin these guys i wish we could talk em into gettin back together!
GAAAH I'M CRYING NOW. I knew another Format album after Dog Problems was too good to be true...but I still can't handle that they're over. Even after more than a year without them. Come back my lovelies!
I LOVE THE FORMAT! This song is just another amazing song by them. Usually acoustics like this are ehh. But I shouldn't be surprised that with the Format it was flawless and beautiful, per usual. I want them back together :( my friend told me they broke up and i didn't believe it till i got home and looked it up. i thought he was meanly joking with me cause i love them so much. but nope :( GET BACK TOGETHER!!! :(
this band is simply amazing. his voice is so original, but beautiful at the same time. its bands like these that make life worth living. you can relate to so much of their music
I love how this video's on the side of the road. I wonder if the people passing by were realizing that they were passing by one of the best bands this decade.
u obviously dont know anything about guitars or music because first off thats not a hummingbird idiot its a gibson dove and second off the lyrics make perfect sense as does all of his songs he is just above ur level of thinking lyrically so before u talk shit about his amazing music at least know what ur talking about first
I love you dude.
