Oh Yes; It Is A Beautiful Mess

What do you think of Jason's cover for Beautiful Mess?

Methinks it's a bit too colourful, too much, too many .. things.

I think the idea was too show how much stuff Jason has in his head and hidden under that hat and this is what happens if he were to get lobotomised; yes? Is that how they cut up your head for a lobotomy? I wouldn't know.

Would very much prefer a simpler cover like WSWDWST's. But this not about me so we'll be happy with this, thank you very much.

And please please please have it in Malaysia real soon.

This was the first 'A Beautiful Mess' video that I watched on Youtube.

Love it love it love it!

He's Teasing Me..

I am undecided.

I don't know whether I should be placing a pre-order for Jason's new CD/DVD Beautiful Mess - Live on Earth that's to be released in early November. It costs $18.99 excluding p&p.

Usually it will be a no brainer, I won't even need to think cos I'd decide and place an order right away as I did with his Live in UK CD some months back.

Now I have to think wisely as I need to be in control of my finances. Trying to rid myself of credit card debts, and am distancing myself from online purchases.

Yes, it may not be much - dare I even put a price on my Mraz?

I am just hoping it'll be available in Malaysia too; I managed to get the Limited Edition WSWDWST for only RM40 here.

Jason Mraz' Beautiful Mess- Live on Earth TEASER

Call me scrooge, even Mraz has to take a backseat this time. I still love you J!

Mraz for Prez?

Jason's 12 Questions post today may be the most complicated yet for me to understand.

Or, did my brain just stop functioning? I need to take an aspirin and re-read it again later.

Still can't figure out this twitter / tweet thingy so my questions are still here with me. Gah.

I need to look for that pink hula hoop so I've got something new to do over this holiday weekend. Can't wait for November for his new stuff, Beautiful Mess (that's me me me!)

Enjoy 'Happy Ending' from our lovely man Mraz:

Let Me Know What Spring Is Like On Jupiter and Mars...

So today in his blog, Jason reveals that he is an 'unbent elbow-lips-shoulder-pelvic bone' kind of guy. His favourite parts of the female body. Haha.

"In other words, darling kiss me ...."

Lovely Mraz rendition of Fly Me To The Moon, with bits of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, courtesy of nopainanymore.

Look at all the 'funny' faces that he makes :)

Mraz - we love.

Unless The Dreamer is the Real You

Inspired by Jason's recent post : beauty in every shade of awesome.

Hey Hey Hey Baby Baby I Try To Find....

Why do you build me up, Buttercup, baby

Just to let me down, and mess me around
And then worst of all, you never call, baby
When you say you will, but I love you still

I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
Hey, hey, hey,

Baby, baby, I try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine

I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Why do you build me up, Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down, and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will, and I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup, don't break my heart

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart....

A Beautiful Mess

My absolute, favourite Mraz song :

I call this 'the orchestra version', performed at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo, Dec 2008.

I saw this on TV last week, however they only showed Jason singing I'm Yours? He was unwell and didn't go onstage for the finale, Toca was there though.

Simply love love love this song. Because it's so ... me.

"A Beautiful Mess"

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]

We're still here
What a beautiful mess, this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through, timeless words and priceless pictures

We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we, tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today

Oh, the wait it was so worth it...

We Spoke More In the Silence....

Jason's unfinished song What We Want :

JM : "It kind of started off as a love song, and then the love kind of ended before I had finished the song...."
