I love how actually DID you ordinary people in the music video nothing special on hollywood characters plain and simple beautiful video, love the message he got through it.
Honestly, I had this song on my favorites for years. Didn't really bother with it, but I suddenly came onto it the after the first fight I had with my boyfriend. It was a dumb one, but one that had me in tears. After listening to this, it gave me hope that even though we have dumb as hell fights, there's still hope because we're paving our roads in life, and don't know much about love. It grows as we go along. So, yea, love you Sam. <3
I love the "no fairy tale conclusion" so true...the best thing about this song is how real it is. It captures the flaws in all of us but it also shows the learning phase and the almost fairy-tale like resolution. Simply Beautiful.
man this song makes me cry... it sucks man for real... i love this girl to death and she love me but its like we wont get together... im trying to take it slow but i been doing that for 3 years now and im so confused on what to do i hate this feeling but... i love this girl with all my heart... i love this song
@KleinZaffre just marry the girl already... bible says 'he who findeth a wife, findeth a GOOD thing and receives FAVOR of the LORD'... so ya'll will be blessed..
this song is so amazing cause its able to capture moments that on some level we all experienced.i know that people may think i'm talking random shit, but that's my conviction..XD (share your views on this song)
@lakeland521 You should totally tell her how you feel. Lay your cards on the table because I've found that honesty works wonders although it's one of the hardest things
For Valentines Day I'm singing this song to my baby. I made serval pictures to go a lot with the song. I hope she loves it and gives us another shot. I love her!!
Basque people are the originators of rh negative blood,the original blood of the white race and Jesus bloodline.We are the adamic race..the solutreans(the basques today were the 1st americans and the 1st europeans)Atlantis did exist,we(atlanteans)colonized the world n schooled humanity but envy is a bitch and envious n greedy impostors concealed real history.
Kiss my divine n badass butt n have a good day,ungrateful motherfuckers
Pass it the fuck on if u r a decent n grateful person
Hey guys! Just wondering if you reckon this is a good song for a Valentines mixtape for my girlfriend of 2 months? We're both 16 and i love her, but i was just wondering if you thought it was a good song for it? Thumbs up if yes, please! Thanks everyone!:D
@JamesHxXxX its a little too sad for valentines day i think. its really about older people going through relationship problems. its not your time for that now. lucky you! just find songs that celebrate being young and in love. dwele "i think i love you" is a good one.
@JamesHxXxX wtf are you asking others for? u like her ? u say you love her. then do it. of course, i'd recommend something like r kelly's - bump and grind if you really want to get laid. but then again you probably wouldnt last long, so definately better to go with the smooth sensitive sht. good luck man. and remember, when she least expects it, put a finger in her ass. peace
ME AND MY BROTHER LOST OUR PARENTS AT A YOUNG AGE. THE ONLY THING I EVER DID WAS PLAY BALL AND ALL HE EVER DID WAS MUSIC. WELL HE JUST BEGAN PUTTING HIS MUSIC ON YOUTUBE AND ONE OF HIS SONGS IS CURRENTLY IN A CONTEST TO GET 1000 LIKES FIRST. ITS CALLED TAKE IT LOW. HES DOING GOOD SO FAR. HIS VIDEOS IS ON MY CHANNEL. PLEASE LISTEN & HIT THE LIKE BUTTON FOR HIM IF HE WINS THE CONTEST HIS VID GETS PUT IN A HIGH TRAFFIC ZONE FOR A WEEK. THAT COULD SAIL THE SONG OFF.THANKS
@chels841 then why am I so scared?? I love you more, that's why which is scary. I wish everyone can love like if they've never been hurt including myself but unfortunately humans aren't that strong :(
My girlfriend and I fight a lot of the time and I'm so scared she'll fall out of love with me or maybe already has. I don't know why but I feel as if I'm losing her and I have a constant ache in my heart. I'm hoping he sees this so she'll know that while I'm hurting, she's still the love of my life and I forgive her and I'm hoping she'll forgive me and give me another chance. At the end of the day, we both have to let go of the expectations we still both have about relationships and just love :)
@guitarpant dont worry she will never leave you. i think in her heart she's scared that you're the one thats gonna give up on her. she already forgives you because im sure she has a gentle heart :)
Such an incredible amount of irony. Watching this video at 1:27, and I notice the VEVO ad underneath congratulating Chris Brown on all the hits he got. #doabigLOL
Valentines Day is comin up and my friend and I made a rap song for the occasion! Play it for your bf or gf and we guarantee they'll feel that much closer to you. Check it out! /watch?v=vjw2cNkQjnU
If you've watched this video within the past few months you saw a comment I posted asking for support and thumbs up so my girlfriend would see my comment when she came to listen to this because it's our song. Anyway, I've been getting a lot of inbox's asking how we were doing, or telling me their similar stories. I just wanted to let the Youtube community know how good a lot of people are, despite the stereotypical cynical and mean-spirited Internet user. Stuff like that makes me very hopeful.
