    She told me that she loved me by the water fountain
    She told me that she loved me and she didn't love him
    And that was really lovely cause it was innocent
    But now she's got a cup with something else in it
    It's getting kinda blurry at a quarter past ten
    And he was in a hurry to be touching her skin
    She's feeling kinda dirty when she's dancing with him
    Forgetting what she told me by the water fountain
    Now he's grabbing her hips and pulling her in
    Kissing her lips and whispering in her ear
    And she knows that she shouldn't listen
    And that she should be with me by the water fountain
    She couldn't be at home in the night time because
    It made her feel alone but at that time she was too young
    I was too young
    I should've built a home with a fountain for us
    The moment that she told me that she was in love too young
    I was too young
    Too young
    Too young
    Too young
    Young
    And if she ever goes back to the water fountain
    The handle will be broken and the rust set in
    But my hand it will be open and I'll try to fix it
    My heart it will be open and I'll try to give it
    Now I'm grabbing her hips and pulling her in
    Kissing her lips and whispering in her ear
    And I know that it's only a wish
    And that we're not standing by the water fountain
    Too young
    Too young
    Too young
    Young
    She couldn't be at home in the night time because
    It made her feel alone but at that time she was too young
    I was too young
    I should've built a home with a fountain for us
    The moment that she told me that she was in love too young
    I was too young
    Too young
    Too young
    Too young
    Young

    A lot of people don't understand this, but when we say Alec is underrated we don't just mean in views on songs like Water Fountain or Let Me Down Slowly. A lot of people know Alec's hit songs, but they don't really know the guy behind them and how genuine he is or that he writes his own songs. For example, when I bring up Alec by name most people dont't know him until I say he's the singer-songwriter of Let Me Down Slowly. Sorry if you don't understand, I just haven't seen a comment about this.

    • @octopus4925
      @octopus4925 Před rokem +27

      Yes!! This song has so much more depth than pretty much any other that I can think of currently. He's talking about a girl basically cheating on him but through a compassionate lense, it's so fascinating and wholesome, yet sad. So fucking underrated

    As a girl with an anxious attachment style from being neglected as a child, I had issues when I was younger where I would get too close to guys sometimes even without really wanting to because I was so desperate for affection and acceptance, and I've always felt ashamed and judged about that being part of my past. But this song kind of helps me see it for what it was - that I was young and scared to be alone at night (I spent months completely alone because my dad left on a lot of trips and it was just us two) and that it doesn't mean I'm a bad person. This song portrays so much compassion, I love it ❤️

    I've been listening to Alec for almost six years now, I think. I'd always been a fan of his voice and his lyrics, but this one has a special place in my heart. I was going through a really tough time in my life when it came out. On top of some serious family fallout, I had just gone through the loss of my first love. We had been best friends and they had been the first person I genuinely trusted with my whole heart. It didn't end well... I loved them but we were young and their parents weren't exactly forthcoming with support. Back then, I used to wonder, what if we had run away and built a life together as we talked about? What if we left everyone behind just so we wouldn't be judged? I know now that it wouldn't have worked, but with every word in this song, I remember those painful nights of never knowing or understanding why things had to end the way they did.

  • @afterd34th

    I remember when this song released. I never realized how early on I found Alec. This was back when I mainly listened to nightcore in middle school. I listened to all of his songs in nightcore at the time, but coming back to this song out of my nightcore phase 5 years later is just so nostalgic and nice. I was really surprised to hear more ppl knew Alec, not bc I didn’t think he was good enough, but bc I just never thought abt it. I remember when I first listened I immediately fell in love with his voice, I suppose it’s only natural that everyone who hears his voice feels this way. I’m glad Alec is still releasing music. I should go listen to all his older songs for old times sake. I remember crying all the time at night to Pretending lol

    She told me that she loved me by the water fountain
    She told me that she loved me and she didn't love him
    And that was really lovely 'cause it was innocent
    But now she's got a cup with something else in it
    It's getting kind of blurry at a quarter past ten
    And he was in a hurry to be touching her skin
    She's feeling kind of dirty when she's dancing with him
    Forgetting what she told me by the water fountain
    Now he's grabbing her hips, and pulling her in
    Kissing her lips, and whispering in her ear
    And she knows that she shouldn't listen
    And that she should be with me by the water fountain
    She couldn't be at home in the night time because
    It made her feel alone, but at that time she was too young
    I was too young
    I should've built a home with a fountain for us
    The moment that she told me that she was in love
    Too young
    I was too young
    Too young, too young, too young
    And if she ever goes back to the water fountain
    The handle will be broken and the rust set in
    But my hand, it will be open and I'll try to fix it
    My heart, it will be open and I'll try to give it
    Now I'm grabbing her hips, and pulling her in
    Kissing her lips, and whispering in her ear
    And I know that it's only a wish
    And that we're not standing by the water fountain
    Too young, too young, too young
    She couldn't be at home in the night time
    Because it made her feel alone
    But at that time she was too young
    I was too young
    I should've built a home with a fountain for us
    The moment that she told me that she was in love
    Too young
    I was too young
    Too young, too young, too young
    I should've built a home with a fountain for us
    The moment that she told me that she was in love
    Too young
    I was too young

I felt like I was protagonist in the movie. One day, the protagonist on the bus way to school. A student had seat next to me, who looks 15 or so with wired earphone. Easy for me to see she had unique atmosphere. Then very sorry to try to glance at your smart phone to see what song she was listening to. It was this song water fountain. I appreciate it for her letting me know this song. But she was too young to listen to this music:)

Things between us changed...he changed, igz his feelings for me slowly started to fade away, he really made my life a living hell just cause i was the one putting effort on us and cared abt out love. Back in 8th grade during golf practice and him track practice,he told me to meet him on the water fountain (ik funny). We actually had our First kiss, next to the water fountain, at that moment i knew i loved this boys with all my heart. Now every time i hear this song just breaks me apart and reminds me of us. Everything happens for a reason. Just know that ur worth more than what u think, God Loves you.

    Idk but every time he got to the “Grabbing her hips...” parts I was so mesmerized. Like his voice is so soothing and this song has so much meaning! I wish there was an animated version 😍

    This song always reminds me of Her. We loved each other so much. Things were hard back then and now i realised i wasted 2 whole years of my life giving in for sorrow making bad decisions one after another. Today i accidently found screenshots of our old conversations, and for the first time i wasnt sad because it was over, i was happy that it happened, i smiled on every single thing i read. Therapy and friends helped me but those messages gave back everything to me. If such a wonderful girl thinks im amazing and can fall for me, why should i be sad. I wasted my energy and time on people who didnt even deserved me and lowered myself to the point i even dated drug abusers. She is happy, and now i am too, i dont wish her, it would be selfish. Im gonna keep working on myself and look for someone who can make me feel the same way and can match the same energy. If i deserves a girl like her at one my lowest point of my life then now too, because i will be better then i was back then. I will look, i know there is a lot of special girls, and i wont be making the same mistakes because im lonely. Stay strong kings and queens, i know it might hurt now, and its needs time to heal but you all will be better and will find someone who might even be better.

    If you ever feel like making this music video again for like an anniversary version, I have an idea of what you could do.
    At the beginning, when the girl you like is telling you that she likes you you’re standing at the water fountain at school in the hallway (younger you)
    And then, when it’s the part where she’s dancing with him, it’s at prom so they are dancing and when you say “ forgetting what she told me by the water fountain” you are sitting by the water fountain in the gym watching them (older you)

    Okay, I never wanted to be the girl who went online to go cry to random people, but I just needed to get this out.
    A week ago, this song was just an amazing and deep song to me. Now it's a reminder.
    Two days ago, my girlfriend cheated on me with a man. I've been cheated on before, and I have had breakups before. But they were nothing like this one. I loved this girl so much. She said she loved me too. And we were getting really serious. About a week ago, she asked which one of us would propose. She was perfect. She was strikingly beautiful and had a strong presence. When she walked into a room, everyone's heads would turn to her. She was smart, and had he perfect balance between emotion and logic. And she was very caring towards everyone and very open-minded. I loved her so much, when she cheated, I was willing to give her another chance. She said no. We should just break up. I don't know what I did wrong. I bought a her gifts, spent time with her(but left enough time for her to spend with friend and family), and treated with all the kindness in my heart. And she did the same for me. She said, "That morning, I woke up and suddenly... I wasn't so lovestruck anymore." We had been dating for 3 years. You know, it was always my greatest fear, that one day, the people who loved me would wake up and suddenly not be able to see past any of my flaws. And to be honest, I'm not that mad at her for cheating. People as great as her deserve other great people, not me. She once told me she thought we were soulmates. And today, I was going to propose. Now I'm spending today alone at home.
    I just needed to get this out.

      Ms. Nobody I'm so so so sorry. Please don't say this was your fault, it's not your fault. This isn't your fault at all. She wasn't the right one for you, but that's okay. You two must have really loved each other, and you still do. I promise she doesn't see you as just nobody. You two spent three years together. You love her, still, and that's completely okay. Please remember after the tears and pain of loosing her, and even when you're still hurt, remind yourself that you **are** worthy of love and happiness. You are. This isn't something she gave to you- she didn't add value to who you are, you are valuable just as you, just as you are. Please don't be afraid to say that, and don't be afraid to love yourself without any shame or guilt. You are a human being. You deserve love. I promise. You might find it hard to see that now but it's true, I promise. And you will see it one day, and maybe even now you do, but you feel too hopeless to see it. Soon, you will. And it's your truth.
      Please don't grieve forever, do things with your family and friends. You need time to heal but also time to remind yourself of all the beautiful and fun things there are to do. Spend time with family, learn a new hobby- piano, a sport, skiiing, swimming, reading, maybe talk about your feelings, and sometimes do nothing at all. Things will get better, okay? They will :) you will find someone you loves who adores you, but that is not what gives you worth or makes you complete. It's you, as you are. You're perfect.
      Go listen to Perfect by Pink and let yourself heal. Take care. You need love, and that love needs to come from within. So please love yourself. Okay? Things will be okay :)

      Thank you so much for your kind words. I have always had trouble loving myself. I guess that is why I am so clingy, because I use all my love on others. But people hate clingy people. I know that people need space, but that is just how I am. As I said, nobody like clingy people. So nobody stays with me very long, that's why I am having so much trouble moving on. What if I don't find anyone else who can put up with me? Moving on is nothing new, but it never gets easier. Life's great, but can be a real bitch.

    I’ve watched him grow as a person, from attending his concert with a close bud w a few people there, to attending his other concert w John Mayer as his special guest. Alec’s a 💎 that people shouldn’t take too lightly. 🔥
