i am a sucker for a good love song. a sucker for a song that makes me clap my hands and doo doo doo. a sucker for a song that makes me move my body to an art that one would call dancing. one of my favorite bands is The Format who unfortunately broke up a few years ago. Their song “Janet” is one of my favorite songs in the world…with one of my favorite lines being..
“I’m falling in love with you…balloons or no balloons…so its time i forget the past and just learn to love what i have..cause i love waking up to your laugh”
The lead singer Nate Ruess, formed a band with some of my other favorite artists from bands such as Steel Train and Anathallo, called Fun. I was skeptical when I first heard there was this new band out, I mean how could anything top The Format!!?? Well… this band comes pretty darn close to being as amazing and their name totally lives up to their vibe. You know that song that comes on the stereo just when you are getting ready to arrive at your destination and the song alone makes you stay in your car to finish it…and then listen to it again? My favorite song from the Fun. album is called The Gambler and it does just that. This is a song that Nate wrote about his parents…I love the perspective of the song..the back and forthness between characters. It’s an intimate, personal song that describes his parents relationship and family and I know his parents must feel like the luckiest people in the world to receive this gift…they pretty much are.
Here is a video to some of this beautiful love song:
