Today I'm featuring Jason Mraz, an American musician who has been topping the charts this year.
I picked these two songs because of their current popularity in America, catchy tunes, easy-to-understand lyrics, the clear diction of the singers, and... well, because they're simply FUN!
According to Mraz's official website, "I'm Yours," the first single off of his latest album, is "a warm breeze of a song about finally giving into love and life's possibilities set to a lilting island tempo. " "Lucky" is another fantastic song about being in love with your best friend, performed with American singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat (another hot talent).
Go to his website to learn more about him and discover more music.
I'm Yours
by 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, now I'm trying to get back.
Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my best test
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention.
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some.
But 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 darn* 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 godforsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, 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.
Dooo dah doo.. Do you want to come on, schooch on over 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...
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed.
I guess what I'd be saying is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.
It's what we aim to do;
Our name is our virtue.
But 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 darn* you're free!
Look into your heart and you will find that the sky is yours!
So please don't, please don't, please don't,
There's no need to complicate...
'Cause our time is short...
This, this, this is our fate...
I'm yours.
*He sings a stronger word here, but not actually swearing. I didn't want to put it on our blog, though. The overall song is very popular with all ages and such a positive, happy song that I included it despite the word.
Lucky
by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat
Do you hear me,
Talking to you?
Across the water, across the deep blue ocean,
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying.
Boy, I hear you in my dreams.
I feel your whisper across the sea.
I keep you with me in my heart;
You make it easier when life gets hard.
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend!
Lucky to have been where I have been!
Lucky to be coming home again...
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
They don't know how long it takes,
Waiting for a love like this.
Every time we say goodbye,
I wish we had one more kiss.
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will...
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend!
Lucky to have been where I have been!
Lucky to be coming home again...
Lucky we're in love every way!
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed!
Lucky to be coming home someday...
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet.
You'll hear the music fill the air;
I'll put a flower in your hair.
Though the breezes, through trees,
Move so pretty, you're all I see.
As the world keeps spinning 'round,
You hold me right here right now.
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend!
Lucky to have been where I have been!
Lucky to be coming home again...
Lucky we're in love every way!
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed...
Lucky to be coming home someday...
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
