They way he sings "I disagreed. I think you're beautiful." Melt my heart everytime.

I met a man and he told me to listen to this song.
I will be forever grateful.

@scarlettdear Exact same, just an hour or 2 ago, he sent it to me! I am completely in love with this song and his music now!

This song is all about Existentialism. He says, "I'll loose my mind completely, madness will finally defeat me." and she answers, "It's just make believe," a very Existential view of personal reality, which Jens mishears as "maple leaves." When "she talked about the fall" she really means the Existential novel The Fall by Camus, not autumn (when maple leaves fall), nor the band fronted by Mark Smith. This is a beautiful and complex song.

@wickedly2 but I believe his cover is influenced by The mamas and papas cover of Do you wanna dance.
