Jason Mraz

↑Jason Mraz - You & I Both
原來我也迷戀過這樣可人的小子啊，真的很可愛可能是因為自然捲。
當初認識Jason Mraz的時候就是因為這一首歌，
不曉得為什麼，這一首歌會讓我的心很痛，
不是刺痛，很像有人輕輕握著我的心臟的那種痛楚，
我知道這樣說或許太過分了，
畢竟我認為，應該只有我會有這樣大的感觸，
那時候曾經有一段很荒唐的曾經，曾經荒唐，嗯不為過因為滿可笑的，
但是那陣子也為了那個男生留過眼淚，我記得很清楚，不過只有兩天，想到淚就想掉，的確。
我居然還跟賴琬柔傳了一整天的紙條，都是在隱誨我有多麼的不堪。
拿手！
Fine，我認為這些都是題外話了，
要是回到十七歲，結束了六點半出門上課五點半回家下課，坐在公車上，
疲倦的不讓自己在車上打盹，我聽著walkman，playing這首歌…
我上學的時候也是不斷地在聽這首歌的。

MV拍的跟我聽的感情完全搭不上線，
但是那時候剛發現有YAHOO!Launch的線上收看Video...
畢竟能看到台灣沒有播放過的這支MV就比什麼都還要開心了。
（也是拍的很可愛啦！羞）

Jason Mraz - You & I Both
words & music by jason mraz

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
And taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
A little bird who'll sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
What you and I spoke of
Others only dream of the love that I love

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive
Now you and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm already finally out of

and it's okay if you have go away
just remember the telephone works both ways
and if I never ever hear it ring
if nothing else I'll think the bells inside
have finally found you someone else and that's okay
cause I'll remember everything you sang

you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm already finally out of words.











↑Jason Mraz - The Remedy

我記得我根本就是以衝的方式進去玫瑰唱片，
說我要訂Jason Mraz 還有Maroon 5的專輯。
那時候都還不是台壓版。
莫名的十七歲的時候，還會有種莫名的虛榮感，
得意狀，你們都沒聽過這些名字對吧…。現在當然都不是這麼一回事了。

現在想想我還真憋腳，總之很好笑就是了。
現在聽的音樂雖然也別於同年紀的大家，
但是相形之下，自己永遠只能跟自己做比較，比上不足比下有餘而已，人生真愛開玩笑。

我認為應該可以算是一種很Free stlye的歌，
會發現，這首歌怎麼可以讓Jason Mraz唱的如此快樂呢，反應的就像是他的生活態度生活觀…
我不知道啦，我都是用感覺的，歌詞可能不是這麼一回事，反正歌就是用來聽的嘛
我已經驗證了音樂無國界的定律了呀。Isn't it?　（英文太差又愛聽外國歌，這是一個隱形的台階…大家看不到!看不到!）
casual!!咬字特殊的歌唱方式，只有想擺脫一切的束縛。只有快樂可以救贖。


我打死也不承認看了這支MV還有Friends裡頭的Joey，我的人生中，真的有突然想養公雞的打算，
但是因為想到，雞屎會破壞一切的美感，深思熟慮後作罷。
有誰會想跟養雞的女孩交往呢？這也是個相當大的阻礙Ｑ。

Jason Mraz在這支MV裡頭，又更可愛了，不是嗎？（笑）情人眼裡出西施吧!!
Jason Mraz - The Remedy

The Remedy
words & music by jason mraz & the matrix

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 stings
that something on the surface 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 got the poison I've got the remedy

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say 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 because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.

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

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say 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 because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I wo'nt worry my life away.

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. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say 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 because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.
I won't and I won't and I won't etc.

點來看，發現是一樣的東西


當所有樂評皆連番盛讚他的聲音完美的像水晶般晶瑩剔透，
所有美國網路愛樂者都在悄悄討論他和今年葛萊美最佳男歌手John Mayer究竟孰優孰劣，
並說他的Live表演簡直是此樂只有天上有的獨一無二精彩演出，
你開始好奇的想好好認識這個現在美國樂壇少見的天才型流行/民謠創作歌手—Jason Mraz。

來自維吉尼亞樸實小鎮，
長得眉清目秀乍看有些休葛蘭影子的Jason現年26歲，
音樂生涯的啓蒙者是也來自維吉尼亞的兩大美式傳統搖滾大角The Agents of Good Root和大衛馬修樂團(Dave Matthews Band)，
但Jason真正接觸音樂卻是從中學時搬到紐約上美國音樂影藝學院開始。
18歲時Jason卻發現自己即刻真正想要的是音樂創作，
毅然輟學並拾起吉他開始他在曼哈頓的音樂浪人之旅。
在落腳加州聖地牙哥並在當地的酒館常態表演後，
Jason遇到影響他最深遠的鼓手Toca Rivera，
他多樣化的部落打擊鼓樂讓Jason音樂充滿驚奇和富變化性，
他倆的精彩現場演出也在整個西岸和網路間流傳，
也因而為Jason贏得一紙Elektra唱片合約。

其實拿Jason和John Mayer比有點委屈，
寧願說年輕的他卻仿佛是有著六十年代英國迷幻民謠歌手Donovan聲音和Paul McCartney靈魂的優秀唱作人。
