Are you a fan of Fun.?Write a letter to Nate Ruess

Dear Nate,

I don't even know where to begin. I have been looking all over for a mailing address so I can send you a personal, hand-written letter to really tell you how much you and your music mean to me and how much your passion for music is such an inspiration to me! After a few hours of searching, I found this site and decided it was close enough. I hope and pray that this 'letter' reaches you.

First off I would like to thank you! You're music is so good! It really helps me get through those rough days. When I heard the song you did with P!nk, "Just give me a reason", I fell in love. When I first heard your song, "Carry On" I immediately downloaded it and showed all my friends. Some of your other songs I really enjoy are, "Some Nights", "It Get's Better", "Be Calm", "Why Am I The One" and many others. I can never get enough of your songs. You are so talented and I thank God for giving you such talent. I know it helps more than just me get through some days.

I truly look up to you, Nate. You are by far one of my favorite artists. I have such a passion for music and hope that one day I will be able to make it somewhere in the music business. I'm taking voice lessons right now and hope to, someday, have the confidence that you do. I read somewhere that you didn't take voice lessons, but you would just go in your car, turn on a song that was hard to mimic, blast it and just sing your heart out trying as hard as you can to mimic that song. I took that as a challenge and I do the same thing. I go in my car, turn on your songs and try to mimic them. Believe it or not, it's helped!

There are many things in this life I want to accomplish but the number one thing on my list is to make name for myself. I asked myself what is the thing I have passion for the most and that thing is music. I'm making my passion for music more than just a dream. I'm going to do something about it. I'm starting of by writing to my favorite artists and the people I look up to the most. I was hoping to get advice back or some kind of inspiration and motivation from some of the greatest people I know of. You are at the top of my list, Nate and I'm hoping to hear from you soon!

I just bought tickets to your concert here in SLC, Augest 23, 2013 with Tegan and Sara! I can't wait to go! Just listening to your music inspires me and I can't wait to be inspired even more than what you already have.

Good luck with everything, Nate! Tell the rest of the FUN. band I say hi and I love them too!! It was an honor just to be able to write to you. I pray for you and passionate musicians everywhere. Thank you for all you do!!

Sincerely,
Lara Kay Birch

It could take hours to think of the right things to say in this letter, but first I want to sincerely thank you for the music you and your friends have made together. I spent last night listening to one of your albums and laughed almost the entire time because of the lyrics and your magical voice. Beyond that I almost felt like I fell in love with you while you were singing, even though I'm straight and in love with a girl. I encourage you from the core of my being to continue singing and performing, you will forever be my favorite singer and group.

Nate,
I don't know if you actually read these even if they do get sent. All I can do is hope.

I've been dating a a girl for three years, and it's been a ride. From utter disapproval and even hatred I faced from both of our parents for the first year and a half, to spending seven tenths of our relationship at a very long distance, I've seen a lot. I won't go into details for the sake of keeping it under the length of a small book or large short story. I've saved up all I could afford to visit her each time that I have, and even moved to her hometown for a while, and the time I've had with her has been worth infinitely more than any monetary cost.

I wanted to thank you for your music and the emotions it brings back to me in an otherwise hollow day. You have quite the voice and, while I don't think you needed auto tune and had good faith you could have hit all of those notes just fine on your own in Some Nights, it's not like I can change it. Besides, it's not really about how I want to hear it, but how you wanted it to sound. You're the millionaire artist, not me.

The main reason I wrote; though, was because I think we have similar definitions of Love, and the weight that word carries, along with other words and phrases such as "I'm yours," "I need you every day," and "I'll always love you." I swear she's she's moving on though, and it breaks me daily. I don't know what I expected by writing this, but I figure that if anyone knows what love and heartbreak really are, it's you. I hear it all so vividly in your music so, if anything, thanks for reading. If there's any chance I could have a chat with you, maybe for peace of mind, or anything of the sort, I believe my email is attached.
Many thanks for daring to read this to the finish,
Brendan West, Age 22

Hey Nate :)
I am a very big fan of you. I discovered Fun. before it was famous and loved it! I listen to your songs every day and I know all lyrics. Youre my male idol! I also really like Andrew, Jack and Rachel ❤ My favourite songs are "We are young, Carry on, All Allone, Why Am I the One, Walking the Dog, the Gambler, One Foot.. But I adore all songs, because your voice is so special and the lyrics so amazing! I bought Tickets for your concert in Hamburg, Germany (I live there :) ) But the day the concert was you were ill, which made me really sad. I hoped so badly to see you, hear your voice live and i wished so much I could have a photo with you and an autograph from you all! Well I still hope that. When your new album is out I really hope youre in Hamburg so I can see you! Its my biggest desire and it would be so cool! I am not sure if you really get this letter but I really hope it! I would be freakin' out if you would give a concert here! *_*

Yours faithfully,
Isabell Hess
