I've been repeating the tracks for 3 days already now.
"I’ve said it in a million interviews already. The songs don’t belong to me. They are bigger than I’ll ever be and they will certainly live a lot longer than I will. That’s why this album is less about me and more life in general. It’s an album about awesome times, celebrated by real people, sexy people, and waking up to smell their sweet sweat still lingering in the air.
Someone once passed me a stack of books and said enjoy. And when you are done, pass them on for they do not belong to you. They belong to the world. And that is what I am doing with these songs. They are of the world and for the world. " by Jason Mraz.

My Favourite Tracks:Lucky feat. Colby CaillatThe combination of Jason's voice and Colby is just wonderful!
"I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friendLucky to have been where I have beenLucky to be coming home againLucky we're in love every wayLucky to have stayed where we have stayedLucky to be coming home someday"I'm YoursThis was my favourite from the previous album and still is now and also because it was dedicated to me by Eby ;)
Love for A ChildA sad touching song of a kid (which I really think was Mraz when he was younger) who's going through divorced parentage.
"What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young It's okay to be easily ignored I like to believe it was all about love for a child"If It Kills MeIt may be a typical bestfriend-like-bestfriend song. But i adore how Mraz puts it into words (he always best at doing that)
Also the song has a very catchy beat during the verse part which really grabbed my attention.
"Why, we go carrying on for hours, on and
We get along much better
Than you and your boyfriend"
" Well how long, can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you,
Before I rightly explode?
This double life I lead isn’t healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all"All his other songs are wonderfully written and composed. He himself is being looked up for having a positive attitude in life (try reading his
blog and you'll see what I mean) thus further explains the messages in his songs.
Mraz's combination of mysteriously meaningful lyrics and soothing voice is just superbbbb; as always ~
