  • This is beautiful. Makes me slightly sad :/

  • Ty YouTube comments for helping me understand the morale of the song. It's so beautiful.

  • He Just Sent Out The Same Ad, Looking For Another Person.

  • I'll admit, I cry during Caroline's "I never got your name" verse. She opens herself up, for once, and gets rejected for it. Hard not to feel that.

  • Absolutely beautiful. Can't find anything wrong with it.

    I find it moving when she sings "I never got your name, I assume you're 33" and the "i was sure you saw me, but it wasn't meant to be" because it kind of shows that he wasn't actually looking for a committed relationship.

    Also, i think that when he says "is it you or me?" he's referring to whether it was hi fault that they didn't develop a relationship, or hers. It could also have been hers because she had difficult problems.

  • brilliant and beautiful

  • beautiful song. but i still think the guy was a jerk. LoL.

  • @izcuje Indeed, he could have at least met up with her, had a drink and just been honest and said she wasn't what he was looking for, instead of making her waste her time waiting for an hour lol

  • 33 is xxxiii

    

  • Comment removed

  • He adds "nothing too heavy" cuz when he saw her, he saw that she had too many problems("grieving over loss, sorry to be heavy, but heavy is the cost.") and he didn't wanna deal with it. "must enjoy the sun, must enjoy the sea"

    and the "is it you or me?" he's asking if he's the problem or the women, and "it wasn't meant to be", maybe it's both.

  • @sf12bravo I agree with this interpretation.

    I don't know why everyone seems to take the literal meaning of heavy, as in being overweight.

  • @sf12bravo i think by heavy maybe shes fat? cuz he doesnt say he gets a pic of her and she says when you see me i hope u dont laugh im not a film star beauty.

  • @mtw951 ...no she says "grieving over loss, sorry to be heavy, but heavy is the cost"... heavy like she has issues/baggage because she is not healed over a recent loss/tragedy.... lol, it's not that literal

  • @sf12bravo ...very beautiful song... thanks for this insight, makes the song that much more meaningful ;)

  • @sf12bravo you do understand he's looking for a guy in his second ad (last verse) after he stands up the girl....? that's what makes this song so interesting

  • @JokerPurp What are you talking about? the last verse goes "wanted Single F: under 33" it's the exact same ad, he just adds "nothing too heavy"...

  • Is it you or me?! ..i don't quite understand why it turned into 'or' from 'and'? Is he heavy too?

  • 28 is xxviii >_>

  • Hard, but true.

    This Song is so.. sad. :'I

    ' I'm not a filmstar beauty'

    She's heavy.

    And that's the proof to break up the contact with her? :(

    Beautiful voice.

    I'm sure this story happened.

    'But it wasn't meant to be..'

  • I always cry when u hear this song but i dont get the ending part what happened why didnt he reply back to her?

  • because she was not a film star beauty, because she was to heavy. Least thats my take on it, since he added "nothing to heavy" on the next note

  • beautiful.

    unbelievable beautiful.

  • I agree, beautiful.

  • Indeed, it is.

  • Wondorous.

  • i love the idea of the background image upside down, i've tried turning the screen and it looks even better in this position :) and i love the text appearing and fading so calmly... great job ;)
