JASON MRAZ

The other day I introduced my favorite song “Lady Killer” by Maroon 5. Today I’ll introduce other favorite songs and the singer.

Do you know Jason Mraz? I think many people know him. Even if you don’t know his name, you may have heard his songs. He is an American singer and songwriter. He was born in Commonwealth of Virginia in 1977. He sings on slow and gentle music with speedy lyrics. He started live performance at a coffee shop “Java Joe’s” in San Diego in 1999, and he released his first CD. That was acoustic live CD recorded at the coffee shop. He released his second album “Mr. A-Z” in 2005, and that recorded fifth ranking in the album chart of all America. His third album ” We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things” was released in 2008 and got third ranking. The most famous his song in this album “I’m Yours” recorded the first rank all over the world and it was nominated for Grammy award of the year. As you can see, he is loved not only in America but also all over the world. Out of his songs, I’ll introduce two songs.

“I’m Yours”

As I mentioned above, Jason Mraz’s best hit song is “I’m Yours.” I listened to his song for the first time last year. My favorite artist sang the phrase of this song. At that time I was interested in this song because I liked the artist, and I listened to the full of song on YouTube. I was totally fascinated this song in a blink of an eye. The sound of guitar and his gentle voice are mixed beautifully and penetrate in my mind. The lyrics are also nice. The hook of this song is below:

  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

This describes a man’s uncontainable feeling for his loving women. He loves her too much so he wants to get her his own. The line “I’m yours” is like “I love you” but it expresses stronger feeling, I think. He wants to keep her to himself. He seems to be madly in love with her!

“Everything Is Sound”

This is not famous song I think. There may be those who know only “I’m Yours” in his song. But I really recommend you this song. The time I knew this song was when I watched my brother’s dance movie. He uploaded the movie which is taken in Hawaii. He dances on this song in the movie. With nice choreography, with wonderful landscape, and with beautiful music, he dances. I watched it again and again and listened to this song. At the ending part of this song, Jason Mraz sings on music in little volume. We can listen to his voice at the part. His voice is really really beautiful and attractive. To tell the truth, when I listened to this song for the first time without the artist name, I didn't notice that this song is by Jason Mraz. When I knew these two songs are both by him, I noticed that I was attracted his voice.

When you are happy, you can appreciate his songs. When you are sad, his songs will make you happy. When you are busy, his songs will make you feel relaxed. When you are sleepy, you can sleep soundly with his songs. I hope you will listen his songs and like them. When you listen to them, please post a comment with your impression!
