Jason Mraz - C/D?

http://www.jazzphotography.us/images/musicians/mraz1.jpg

Well I saw fireworks from the freeway and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
now something on the surface it stinks
that something on the surface well it kind of makes me nervous who says that you deserve this
and what kind of god would serve this? We will cure this dirty old disease
if you've gots the poison I've gots the remedy

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I said the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends and when it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I wont worry my life away. yeah oh oh
I wont worry my life away. yeah oh oh

I heard two men talking on the radio in a crossfire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
well they were counting down the ways to stab the brotha in the be right back after this
the unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophy
dance with me, because if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I said the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends and when it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I wont worry my life away. yeah oh oh
I wont worry my life away. yeah oh oh

When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why
Because

the remedy is the experience. this is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I said the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends when it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I wont worry my life away. yeah oh oh
I wont worry my life away. yeah oh oh
I wont and I wont and I wont.......

It's no more meta than most rap songs, which is what Mraz hilariously seems to think it is.

Dud On Arrival.

(ducks to avoid tomatoes)

I'll holster my tomato down if you'll defend the indefensible.

From memory: "You And I Both", "On Love, In Sadness" and "Absolutely Zero" were quite nice in a John Mayer-esque style and "Too Much Food" pretty much hits the mark "The Remedy" shot for and missed horribly, but the rest of it was "oh, look at me I'm eclectic but forgot to write any decent tunes, so I'll throw in a reference to pot".

So much hate here. Sigh. His new album is my #1 of the year so far, so REVIVE!

i was into him freshman year, as were all my female friends.

we have since all realized how terrible he is.

I liked his two singles, "the remedy" and "you and i both"

i'm srs these are rly good

I saw him live circa "The Remedy"! He was still wearing one of those "I <3 Sex" pins.

Guys, i really don't mind "I'm Yours" when I'm driving with the windows down.

"I'm Yours" is lovely

"The Remedy" was my jam back in the day, don't hate

i prefer patrick mraz

"I'm Yours" is "One Love" but, y'know, less "edgy"

ok cannot stand what lil i've heard of dude but this is actually pretty good until near the end

lol kermit.

i really liked "you and i both" (i luv singing along to 'finally-di-dididi-di-di') but i don't know if i can forgive him for unleashing "i'm yours" upon this world :(

im yrs is played at least 3 times a night on the radio station we have at work and i'm p certain that if i ever meet this dude, i will punch him in the testicles

why stop there

my friend made me listen to http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/We_Sing%2C_We_Dance%2C_We_Steal_Things_Official_Cover.jpg multiple times on a recent roadtrip and it was teeth-grindingly bad... who the fuck is this guy... what is this shit,... fuck!!!!!!

hahaha. Impressed that you managed to avoid this for so long tbh.

Is that actually the album cover because a) awful and b) I'm dying at Del G's cover/leprechaun amateur sketch comparison.

don't worry your life away bro

xpost

it was kind of hard for me to avoid this guy for a while, for some reason. but i'm happy to say that i haven't heard/seen him in like three years. mr. a to z!

uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack

That one song was just always on the radio. You know - that one!!

I fucking hate this guy so much. I have to hear like 5 songs of his a day at work.

each song would enrage me in fresh new ways... made me feel like alex in nyc... i guess he has a nice voice... thats one thing i could say...

He has a nice voice because he's trying desperately to sound like Stevie Wonder.

Heard some song of his the other day that had a line that went "keeping up with the Joneses/listening to Guns N' Roses" fyad

it actually went "i keep up with the joneses while waiting for the guns and the roses"!!!!! http://i.imgur.com/ftQOk.gif

shit from the l.a. coffeehouse open mic night scene is always without exception dire beyond belief, cf shawn mullins.

Oh god he was at Outside Lands a couple of years back and they broadcast his set on a TV while we were hiding in the wine tent...all the sangria in the world could not quell my hatred. He's so 'wooo its summer all the time dudez lets dance barefoot'...like Jimmy Buffet's margarita vomit made human.

I really, really hate that music so much.

This fucking guy will not go away.

princess tamtam's posts itt are all-time ilm classics for me

Ah, Mraz. The Panic at the Disco of his era. He and Urie both have that “drama kid made good” vibe.

Due to my Pops being a fan and buying me a ticket, my first big concert since before the pandemic times was Jason Mraz yesterday, and it was pretty good! He's touring with a 10+ piece band that includes another separate ladyband called Raining Jane as well as a horn section and what appeared to be a full time sitar player

Not super familiar with his material but in addition to a few new ones that are kinda dancey/disco he split time with deep cuts and "the hits", he turned "The Remedy" into a reggae which was an improvement if you can believe it, even had the courtesy to end with "I'm Yours" so I could sneak away and return the rented lawn chairs before the end and mass rush to the exits

Anyways he seems like a pretty chill dude, I get the hostility I guess from when he was inescapable and it's not for everyone but seems fairly innocuous for someone drawing many thousands of middle aged women to the local amphitheater

also apparently he is neighbors with Alan Parsons and even sang on the last Parsons album, which sounds fine but I mostly just enjoy the idea of Jason Mraz and Alan Parsons bumping into each other while checking the mail or whatever and shooting the breeze, hey how's it going Alan Parsons, how are things
