Interested in music from a young age, the San Francisco-born Leff took piano and viola lessons as a child before picking up the guitar around age 11. During high school, he played in several bands and studied jazz before discovering electronic music production. However, it was while attending N.Y.U. as a music tech major in 2014 that a bad breakup found Leff on his own and digging deep into his writing and recording process. Out of this period came the song "The Other," co-written with songwriter/instrumentalist Michael Matosic. Released under Leff's stage name Lauv (inspired by the Latvian "lauva" or lion), the song went viral after gaining blog attention and peaked at number three on blog aggregator Hype Machine. In 2015 he returned with his debut EP, Lost in the Light, which featured "The Other."
More tracks followed, including 2015's "Reforget" and 2016's "Question," featuring Travis Mills. In 2017 Lauv headed his own Late Nights, Deep Talks tour and premiered the official video for "The Other," along with a series of remixes. Released in May of that year, Lauv's single "I Like Me Better" became a breakout international hit and was later featured on his self-titled second EP that October. The single was also included on his full-length debut, 2018's I Met You When I Was 18, which also featured the singles "Paranoid" and "Bracelet." Hit collaborations with Julia Michaels ("There's No Way") and Troye Sivan ("I'm So Tired...") carried him into 2019. Lauv's debut album "~how i'm feeling~" is set to be released in March 2020.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always knew where I was gonna go next
Didn't know until I saw your face
I was missin' out on every moment
You'll be one and, baby, I'll be two
Would you mind it if I said I'm into you?
(I'm into you)
Then darlin', let me know
I wouldn't mind
If you steal the show
You and I, we go together
You're the sky, I'll be the weather
A pretty thing, the sun and rain, who knew
Oh, yeah

Where am i? You know I'll be waitin' for you
Oh, for you
So if it's real

What movie isnโt โstandardโ?
- A fish finding his lost son and traveling to Australia? Fighting sharks along the way?
- A superhero with marital issues fighting to save both his family and marriage?
- A rat learns to cook in Paris in a love story between 2 humans? What is the city of Love? PARIS!
- A boy with a single mother (that in itself is extremely cliche) with his favorite toys which gets lost. Said toys desperate to make boy happy again by finding him.
People who trash Elemental because it is โgenericโ are ironically people who tread out the lazy, age old argument without any sort of critical thinking.
Itโs an absolute copout to call Elemental generic when in fact most films past and present have simple plot lines.
I just happy you found a connection with the movie!

I'd say this was definitely one of Pixar's most Romantic movies.
@rafaelmatos5851
Well, Pixar doesn't give much focus on romance when it comes to movies, but they always give some great pieces of it. With "Elemental", they managed to create one of the most beautiful and well-made romance stories ever. They made Wade and Ember's romance to feel realistic and relatable: two people from diferent cultures and upbringings struggling to find a way for them to work.
@ethanloming001
โ@@rafaelmatos5851The last Pixar romance movie I loved was Wall-E.โค. Elemental in my opinion was just as good as it's sweet, wholesome and romantic.
@cristinabadillo3613
They only have two romantic movies: Wall-e and Elemental
