As someone who’s been there, done that, I can tell you that long distance relationships suck. But one man made his a little sweeter by recording this music video.

Walter C. Mays, who happens to live with the band The Daylights, recorded this song with his flatmates as a digital love letter to his beloved who recently moved across the country. He could have told her about it, but he figured it’d be much more fun for her to stumble across it if it went viral.

Of course that level of internet fame probably wouldn’t do the band any harm either. Cynics are claiming this is just another one of those marketing campaigns with a cute story attached, but the romantic in me hopes it real.

Either way, it’s pretty cool!
