"Grand Romantic" was the last song to get added to the album, but kinda one of the oldest. It was supposed to be the last song on the album, and it used to start out as a weird, almost spoken word song that built up into the "I just wanted you so bad". But then once we started writing "Brightside", I decided that should be the last song. Plus I stole a bunch of the lyrics from the original "Grand Romantic" for it. So we decided not to throw out the entire thing, and instead we got pretentious and turned the rest of the song into a bunch of interludes. Jeff took the "I just wanted you so bad" part of the song and turned it into a really long and beautiful interlude, and we had Will add some drums. I was pretty moved by the music, but it didn't have a typical song structure, so I was struggling to write a consistent melody. While I was in Sweden on a promo trip, our engineer Andrew and I decided to go into the studio and that's where it finally clicked and I got the vocal takes I loved. It was starting to feel like a song instead of an interlude, so we had Ryan layer some acoustics, and while I was still in Europe, Jeff took my high "step right up" vocal guide and recorded a women's choir in LA. We loved the song so much that we scrapped the interlude idea, and we found that it fit perfectly after "It Only Gets Much Worse" (same key). I like to think it kinda wraps up the album in a way. And because of that we cut it up on the last day and used it as the intro to the album as well.
I really like Nate Ruess and all the songs he writes and performs. He should be more out in the media. He is so talented! I think he is one of the best composer/performer of our days.
I don't think any of his songs are repetitive because each one displays a different vibe. Like, honestly I am in love with this album altogether but this has to be (in my opinion) the realest song on the album. Like... I can't even describe it. All I'm gonna say is that people that have been through this shit time and time again KNOW what he is REALLY saying and singing. I mean you can FEEL the pain... I feel like for this particular album, you need to have been through it or going through it in order to relate.
Nate Reuss is one of the best singers I have heard, he is able to hit so many ranges on his songs, my daughter who is now 4 listens to him as she grew up with me singing his songs to her, I wish he would release a new album, if he has and I am unaware please let me know.

April 2024... I'll be Loving Nate❤ and his Heavenly Voice... ❤ And His Deep Heart...❤ And his Soul...❤ And his Songs...❤ And his Sensitivity...❤ And his Sounds...❤ And his Music...❤ For Ever... And Ever... And Ever...❤ Nate...🙏❤🙏 Eternal Adorable Elf Angel...❤ Grand Romantic...🙏❤🙏
I can't deny that the song is repititive, but i think it does its job and gets the point across well. The name of the song is Grand Romantic, but the lyrics and motive of it is so simple. I think Nate is trying to say that Love may seem super complicated and Grand, but when it comes down to the essence of it, "he just wanted her so bad". That is love what love is, basically.
SOME NIGHTS, ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS are looking up for STARS in the sky, wishing that there is someone who can LIGHT A ROMAN CANDLE WITH THEM. when THE GAMBLER says that he was OUT ON THE TOWN, WALKING HIS DOG under the SIGHT OF THE SUN, He sings WE ARE YOUNG under the BARLIGHTS and keeps saying to the lonesome guy who're ALL ALONE that time, "its ALL ALRIGHT dude, CARRY ON all your problems and sorrows, TAKE YOUR TIME to COME HOME. IT GETS BETTER soon." The lonesome guy put his ONE FOOT in front of the table, and said, WHY AM I THE ONE? then the gambler response, I WANNA BE THE ONE who you believe, just BELIEVE IN ME. and the lonesome guy stand and shouts, AT LEAST I'M NOT AS SAD AS I USED TO BE! then he smiles, and ask the gambler, "who are you?" the gambler says, I am BENSON HEDGES, and all i wanted to do all my life is to have FUN.
Fun fact: This song was originally going to be spread into several songs throughout the album as interludes between full songs. Aren't you glad it wasn't?
Terima kasih banyak, Nate. Karena lagu-lagumu dalam album ini selalu menemani saya dalam masa-masa sulit ketika kuliah dan sampai sekarang pun saya masih mendengarkannya ketika mengerjakan tugas pekerjaan setiap dini hari. Ini adalah sebuah mahakarya. I Love U Nate.
Probably no one will see this, but there’s this girl that I really really like and care about. It felt like I had a chance to be with her, but I think I screwed it up. This song and it’s lyrics hurt in a beautiful kind of way
I'm an aspiring singer and songwriter and your work has inspired me so much. Your songs have more raw emotion than any other I've ever heard and I love that. It's a new dream of mine to work with you one day and I guess that sounds kind of crazy but I'm really passionate about music and you've always been a favorite of mine. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you for sharing your talent and keep writing great songs.
April 2024... I'll be Loving Nate❤ and his Heavenly Voice... ❤ And His Heart...❤ And his Soul...❤ And his Sensitivity... And his Sounds... And his Music... For Ever... And Ever... And Ever... Eternal Elf Angel...❤ Grand Romantic...❤
I'm ashamed to say that this is the very first time I've listened to this song... ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! love all your songs but this now has to be my favourite by far! 😊 xx
Its not that it's hard, it's just that you have to learn to control your voice on a high note. I'm practicing this song and it took me WEEKS to get that note right
I haven't heard much from fun. in a while, so I did a little research and I was so happy to see that they are still together, and was even happier to find this album! I'm really proud of Nate and all of the songs on the Grand Romantic album!
Beyond amazing most amazing voice I’d say I could listen to you all day but I have already n it helps your quite easy on the eyes lol had ta say it sorry 🔥🔥🔥
Meu irmão salve a humildade de um astro, iluminado por Deus para que mostre a todos o quão se encanta a um ser humano com palavras lindas através da música! parabéns!

Nate Ruess i loved you :C
Nate Ruess It is definitely came together as one of the most beautiful songs you've ever worked on, 'course nothing still tops On Your Porch for me!
nate u good!!
nate u good!!
nate u good!!
One of the few albums that you could play and not skip any songs.
i've skipped like 5 songs...
I really, really, really wish Nate would release some new stuff. I don't think he realises how much he's missed 😞
He's missed alot.
I really really really want to see this album as a Broadway show.
Yessss!!!! That would be so awesome!!
Eyesight2 Well, its a short-movie now but Broadway would be soooo much better
I'd like his entire career: The Format, FUN., Nate Ruess, as a broadway musical. It's been happening in my head since the format days...
Nate Ruess: The Musical XD
Eyesight2
Oh my god yes
Nate please come back we mis you (:
I really like Nate Ruess and all the songs he writes and performs.
He should be more out in the media. He is so talented!
I think he is one of the best composer/performer of our days.
Most underrated singer of our generation
I don't think any of his songs are repetitive because each one displays a different vibe. Like, honestly I am in love with this album altogether but this has to be (in my opinion) the realest song on the album. Like... I can't even describe it.

Come back... Come BACK Nate Come BACK Fun! We miss you, so much😭
Nate Reuss is one of the best singers I have heard, he is able to hit so many ranges on his songs, my daughter who is now 4 listens to him as she grew up with me singing his songs to her, I wish he would release a new album, if he has and I am unaware please let me know.
I love the sweet Nate voice
I think a grand romantic is someone who loves and trys to fix their lover's problems whilst have many of their own problems
I hate how his music is so underrated, it's like better than half the shit on the radio that have no meaning at all in my opinion
MR. NLS I agree with you
Yass preach! 🙌🏻

ThatOne BlackGuy That's beautiful :'(
ThatOne BlackGuy That's very well put. You are right, and Nate expresses so much by his beautiful voice and by his singing style.
You got exactly the point.
I have never once noticed it’s repetitive nature in the 3 years of listening to this song
It's the smallest, simplest part, but it gets me every time: 2:30 - 2:33
Just so beautiful for some reason.
SAME
I got actual chills the first time
Miss you so much, Nate
Need more music from Nate!
My friend would played this song thousand times a day. I became a fan of this song afterward. Big ups Nate 🫶🏾
it's so simple yet so full of emotion. it repeats a lot but it's a great song.
SOME NIGHTS, ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS are looking up for STARS in the sky,
wishing that there is someone who can
LIGHT A ROMAN CANDLE WITH THEM.
when THE GAMBLER says that he was OUT ON THE TOWN,
WALKING HIS DOG under the SIGHT OF THE SUN,
He sings WE ARE YOUNG under the BARLIGHTS and
keeps saying to the lonesome guy who're ALL ALONE that time,
"its ALL ALRIGHT dude, CARRY ON all your problems and sorrows,
TAKE YOUR TIME to COME HOME. IT GETS BETTER soon."
The lonesome guy put his ONE FOOT in front of the table, and said,
WHY AM I THE ONE? then the gambler response,
I WANNA BE THE ONE who you believe, just BELIEVE IN ME.
and the lonesome guy stand and shouts,
AT LEAST I'M NOT AS SAD AS I USED TO BE! then he smiles,
and ask the gambler, "who are you?"
the gambler says, I am BENSON HEDGES,
and all i wanted to do all my life is to have FUN.
God bless this
So cool
*Slow claps*
wow.
+kim carlobos stfu
We need Nate Rues and Fun back please, these guys are really missed.. Grand Romantic, and Some Nights are my favorite albums ever

Try listening to Format, Nate's first band. I m pretty sure you will love it too.
Recently just listened to this album and.. All I can say is damn, where have you been all my life?
Now we're back to 80's. So mesmerizing
Fun fact: This song was originally going to be spread into several songs throughout the album as interludes between full songs. Aren't you glad it wasn't?
Terima kasih banyak, Nate. Karena lagu-lagumu dalam album ini selalu menemani saya dalam masa-masa sulit ketika kuliah dan sampai sekarang pun saya masih mendengarkannya ketika mengerjakan tugas pekerjaan setiap dini hari. Ini adalah sebuah mahakarya. I Love U Nate.

2021 and I still miss Nate and the crew.
I'm an aspiring singer and songwriter and your work has inspired me so much. Your songs have more raw emotion than any other I've ever heard and I love that.

This is so beautiful, I cry every time

Nate Ruess your talent is beyond explanation with words. Listen to it all day and night while working in my office. thankful for youtube videos
Nate has an amazing and unique voice. This song is magical, inspiring, profound. I felt like I was at a classical music concert.
I'm ashamed to say that this is the very first time I've listened to this song... ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! love all your songs but this now has to be my favourite by far! 😊 xx
I relate to this song so much. It's almost spiritual.
That girl comes to mind still x (
And I just learned that Nate was born the same day as when I asked her out
+Taylor Beckett bro thats deep
+bay cole so does he goes roll it in?
ObvDull Jaliyl Beig yea lol
Taylor Beckett oh so in like 3 days?😂😂sorry for bringing it up it was relivent
1:46 - 1:58 HOW THE HELL DOES HE EVEN DO THAT
SomeLinkinParkFan It's 2:34 - 2:45 that really messes with me. Those are some impressive high notes right there.
Its not that it's hard, it's just that you have to learn to control your voice on a high note. I'm practicing this song and it took me WEEKS to get that note right
Mixed voice.
+Amadi Dante *belting

Yes! :)
He really does have a sort of country twinge to his voice. It's pretty cool.
Only thing I have against this song is that I know Nate can write amazing lyrics and wish he had for this one too...
2:31 TO end is fire
