And wouldn’t you know – his name is Jason.
It's not him personally that I'm so obsessed with though - it's his music.
I’ve been struggling to find some music that really excites me – and I found some about a month ago. And now, I’m completely addicted. Check out Jason Mraz. If you’ve already been a fan and I’m just catching on now – jeesh, you should’ve said something to me! I’ve been in the musical dumps lately. But he has ignited that excitement that I get when I find good music. Some people take drugs to get a high. I don’t take drugs, so I don’t know what a true high feels like; but I do know that I feel completely euphoric when I’m listening to really good music.
Good music to me isn’t just a melody; it’s got to be great lyrics too. Anyone can write a catchy riff to stay in your head, but to me - the song has to evoke emotion. I don't care what emotion it is, but it's got make me feel something. It's not what you say as much as how you say it. As Eddie Wilson in “Eddie & the Cruisers” once said: “Words and music…they need each other”.
Do yourself a favor – check him out. See if you don’t fall in love too….
"I'm Yours" - Jason Mraz
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Scooch closer dear
and i will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what i be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
this is our fate, I'm yours
Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
No please, don't complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
No please, don't hesitate
no more, no more
It cannot wait
The sky is yours!
