This.

I wish I could coherently, eloquently, explain just what it is about this song that curls a smile across my lips and marches goose flesh down my arms. It is the ghost of the grin that used to wriggle its way across my sister's face. The evening air when you are out with friends far longer than you intended on being. A sudden rainstorm inspiring laughter when you are caught without cover. Simple song, simple lyrics, no simple explanation for how perfect I find it.

So much this. I got to see Nate perform live recently. Best show of my life. And this song...my day isn't complete until I've listened to it, lately.

He is amazing live, isn't he? I got to meet him after the first show of his current tour, up in Rochester NY. Best. Night. Ever.

There really is just something about that song.

That's man's voice does things to me. And I've always though he was a rather brilliant lyricist... but it just slays me every time around the line "Now I know that I'm not all that you've got. I guess that I, I just thought that maybe we could find new ways to fall apart."

Ungh I know right? I had an uncontrollable fangirl about to start crying in the audience moment. Getting to see him was profound. I'm sad I did not get to meet him. Is he every bit as nice as I imagine him to be?

That is the same line that does me in every time.

He is honestly one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of meeting. That smile? Real thing. We made him cry on stage once in Rochester- he paused in a song and we started cheering and he got all choked up. Amazing stuff.

Some of his lines are like a solid kick to the chest, I swear. It's one of my life goals to meet him. There weren't that many die-hard fans at the show I attended, but that didn't stop him from delivering 100% of himself the whole time. God I love his smile forever.
