Acho que esse é o nick mais longo que eu já postei até hoje … rs

Eu adoro esta música. Ela já significou muitas coisas pra mim, já ganhei até uma versão personalizada. Mas na verdade o momento mais marcante foi em uma viagem. Estava me sentindo o último acarajé do tabuleiro da baiana e a frase “Look into your heart and you’ll find love … love … loveeeeee” fez eu perceber que mesmo num momento ruim como aquele eu ainda tinha muito amor no meu coração.

I’M YOURS – JASON MRAZ

Composição: Jason Mraz

Hay canciones que no solo me gustan, me encantan. Esta es una canción que me mostró a un cantante absolutamente desconocido para mí hasta que, por casualidad, descubrí esta pequeña obra maestra. Él Jason Mraz, la canción, I’m Yours.

La canción la descubrí en el año 2008 y teniendo en cuenta que esta canción fue grabada en 2006 tampoco llevo un retraso tan descomunal.

Pero Jason Mraz no solo es esta canción, tiene más temas que demuestran que además de componer unas excelentes canciones es un gradísimo intérprete como en su tema Geek in the Pink o Lucky, de esta última tiene una versión en castellano con Ximena Sariñana, actriz y cantante mexicana que es todo un premio MTV.

Ritmo, musicalidad, alegría, optimismo y AMOR, SOBRE TODO AMOR, ¿qué más se puede pedir en una canción?

I’m yours

Geek in the pink

Lucky

I’m Yours — 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 bestest
And nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some

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 damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment babay sing with me
I love peace for melody
And It’s our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love 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

Scooch 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 laughed
I guess what I’m be saying is there ain’t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity 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 sure

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find that the sky is yours
Please don’t, please don’t, please don’t
There’s no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I’m yours!

I expected today to be good, but not as amazing as it actually was! Colin came over and after the snippets of conversation with Mum and asking him if he’d like a drink, I went upstairs. I suggested watching a film, and he hadn’t seen Little Miss Sunshine! I couldn’t believe it! That film is classic.

For those of you who haven’t seen it, it is about a dysfunctional family. A family which has a suicidal uncle, drug-taking grandpa, arguing parents, a non-talking son and a daughter who dreams of being Miss America, oh, and the parents argue all the time. Colin thought the whole film was “genius”, especially the final scene when Olive is dancing terribly, but the family get really close. Everything falls apart, but they’re a great family. Watch it if you can!

We later went for a walk up to Dunkirk and back, through the woods. Surprisingly I bumped into Mrs Crouch, a biology teacher at my school. It was a shock as I sort of thought that teachers lived in cupboards, either that or they just didn’t leave home. It was a lovely walk.

When we got back we sat down with a cup of tea and watched The Impressions show by Jon Culshaw. It was iplayer, and it was an amazing show, Jon Culshaw is amazing with his impression. After that we had a cup of tea, cake and a murder she wrote. It was funny – the acting is a bit… iffy, to say the least. And the storyline a bit unbelievable, but that’s all part of the fun. I really enjoyed being so close Colin throughout it.

Suddenly, I realised it was 7PM. I don’t know where today had gone. Earlier we had practised I’m Yours by Jason Mraz and then I really wanted to record it. Obviously the timing’s dodgy, and it’s not exactly perfect, but Colin’s voice is amazing. I thought you’d all love to see it – so here we are. It is our coupley song, and it reflects exactly how I feel to him – I’m his.

On November 11th, Jason Mraz held two live chats online for his fans, one at 11:00 am and the second at 6:00 pm PST.

Thousands of fans from all over the world submitted their questions/comments on Facebook and on Twitter for Jason to answer.

The morning session consisted of Jason answering questions and singing songs in his backyard, introducing viewers to his cat Holmes and he also gave a brief tour of his home in San Diego.

Jason returned at 6pm for the evening session (this time, in his kitchen) to answer more questions, talk about his new live CD Beautiful Mess: Live on Earth (get yours NOW!), and promote his appearance on the Conan O’Brien show.

Watching Jason sing through my computer screen live was like having a concert right in my room.

For those of you who missed the live chat, or you just can’t get enough, I’ve uploaded part of the morning chat and all of the evening chat below. Enjoy!

BE LOVE.

Mr. A-Z has just released another album and it is sensational.

It’s live from Earth, includes three new songs, remixed versions of his old songs and the whole dvd of the concert.

The best part about this album is Jason’s cover of All night long which is brilliant and makes you want to get up and dance.

I know I describe his music as feel good a lot, but this albums vibe is more about feeling great. The old songs are sung in just a slightly different way and makes everything a little different and way more funky.

This album can’t be described in words, it needs to be heard through lyrics, melody and rhythm. It truly is fantastic. I can’t wait for the holidays to start and have this blasting through the speakers all summer long.

Life is cool, wild and sweet. - Jason Mraz

My friends,

The nonprofit that I direct recently got some new staff, and one of them observed to me that I seem to hate everything. In fact, I’ve even developed a “Claw of Hatred,” where my right hand goes up in a claw a few inches from my face whenever I talk about something I despise. “Facebook!” I would say, one hand clawing at the air. Here are some other things that also get The Claw: Crocs, orange juice without pulp, that curly-haired repulsive-looking freecreditreport.com guy who looks like a troll on crack, fundraising dinners, children singing backup in unison (it’s creepy), people dressed up as animals (even creepier and more disturbing), whole-wheat pasta (disgusting), people who spit a loogey in public (almost as disgusting as whole-wheat pasta), and  that stupid song by Jason Mraz “I’m Yours,” the lyrics of which are so insipid and inane that I want to claw off my ears each time it comes on.

“So what makes you happy?” one of the new staff asked. So that made me think. I’ve been too bitter and negative lately, hating everything. But life is too short to spend in hatred and bitterness and making small voodoo dolls of the freecreditreport.com guy and punching it over and over. I thought about the things that made me happy: Roasted seaweed sheets. Soy flan. The apartment, when it’s clean and smells like Febreze. Rainy Saturday mornings. That Geico commercial lady, Flo. She’s hilarious.

None of those things beat food storage containers. On Sunday I was so excited to open the newspaper ads section. Rubbermaid Stainshield containers are on sale! 20-piece set for twelve bucks, a saving of 48%! Run, don’t walk, to your nearest Target! What are you waiting for? What’s wrong with you people?! This deal won’t last forever! Jameelah and I had to go to three Targets before we found one that had them in stock! But after calling around, and getting a raincheck at one store, we were able to buy the last two sets.

I have been thinking a lot about what makes people happy, and have found no discernable pattern. Why do so many women obsess over shoes? What’s so great about shoes? I have three pairs of shoes, and have used them for the past ten years, which averages to be about one pound of shoe per year. Shoes don’t make me happy. They’re just things that cover your feet so you don’t step on sharp rocks or get frost bitten. That’s it.

Containers, on the other hand, are awesome. After much reflection, I think I understand their appeal. Containers store food, but they also contain hope and potential and security and friendship. When you store leftovers in a plastic container, you are thinking “I have food for the future. I will not starve tomorrow. I can live to pass on my genes.” When you give someone food in one of your container, you are giving them both a gift of your trust and friendship, and also of your resources, a gesture of community bond. When I look at a clean and empty container, I see potential, visualizing all the things that could go in there: flan, soup, chopped raw vegetables to cook the next day. Containers, like the dehydrator, which preserves food indefinitely, are symbolic of preserving the moment, the reality, and thus, ourselves and our own mortality. The clear plastic container represents immortality. And the Stainshield technology, which repels tomato stains, represents the unblemished perfection of this preserved existence.

Am I the only person who thinks this? Am I weird for liking containers this much? Vote now:

1. No, you are not weird at all. Not any weirder than normal.
2. 20-piece Stainshield set for $12? OMG, I have to tell my Rubbermaid Stainshield fan club!
3. Yes, you are a weirdo. Why don’t you find happiness in normal manly things such as beer and football and meat?
4. Wait…did you say you hate Jason Mraz? What’s wrong with you?! You just don’t appreciate good music. Jason Mraz is a saint. My sister had depression for eighteen years after she lost her leg in a car accident. Then she listened to Jason Mraz, and miraculously her leg grew back. So there.
5. Sorry, dude, Pyrex all the way.
6. Did you really spend an entire blog post writing about CONTAINERS? Really? Containers? Have you run out of things to talk about? This is five minutes of my life I will never get back again. Really. Containers.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the kitchen, polishing my new containers.

***Before I begin, let me start by apologizing to anyone who heard my dreaded tone-deaf singing throughout the entire concert. But I can’t help not singing along & making a fool out of myself… it’s the magic of Mraz. That is all. ***

Wednesday night, Jason Mraz’s Gratitude Café Tour made a stop at GM Place in Vancouver. I’ve been counting down the days until he would return. His last concert here was on November 8^th, 2008 (yes, of course I remembered the date! Who do you think I am?).

Of course, being the hardcore fan that I am, I got my tickets months in advance — even leaving my morning lecture early to find a computer in time for his fan club pre-sale. (The reason for my almost-obsessive hardcore fan nature is a long, but heartfelt story. Let’s just say it’s not all about his sex-appeal, his songs get me through a lot. No time to explain now. But if you ever meet me someday, ask me.)

I was shocked to learn that Mraz was going to perform at GM Place – home of the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks and venue for large concerts and performances. Last year, Mraz performed at the Centre for Performing Arts – a much more appropriately smaller venue. That’s not to say Mraz isn’t a huge enough rock star to be playing in a large arena (because he is), but intimate performances is what most people love about him. I don’t know, maybe I’m biased in that my last four of five concerts prior to the Mraz show was at a small venue/club. Personally, I believe having the intimate vibe gives you the option of connecting with your fans on a more personal level. Even if there were 500 bodies in the room, it still feels like you’re interacting with them one-on-one. It usually works.

(Later, I learned that Mraz was one of the performers/speakers at Free the Children’s We Day (check out that link if you haven’t already done so) the day before the concert. So I guess there wasn’t really much Mraz could do since it would be difficult to re-assemble his stage.)

Willingly, I convinced my friends TayloredMyPants and ApuTheFish to join me. It didn’t take much convincing though. I dragged TayloredMyPants to his last show here in November even though she has never heard of him until the day of. Ever since then she’s become a bonafide Mraz fan. ApuTheFish has been listening to his music for years, but never realized it was Mraz who she was listening to until she had an epiphany one day.

After nearly eleven months of waiting for him to return and a summer filled with other concerts and gigs to occupy my mind, I was more than ready for the day to arrive.

For weeks, I strategized with my friends our plan of execution for Wednesday night – arrival time and outfit of choice (though, they didn’t really care about the latter). I had to be prepared!

While perusing through various Jason Mraz message boards, I learned that several Mraz fans were going to arrive at GM Place hours in advance of the 7:00pm show-time. Some even said they were going to arrive at 4pm. How will Mraz’s sweat accidentally land on my face if I wasn’t going to be the first one there? I, too, had to come early.

I settled on what I was wearing too: A pink Paul Frank t-shirt with an Einstein monkey on the chest – aka my Geek in the Pink shirt. I had to do it, just in case he sees my shirt while performing the song and invites me on stage. Hey man, I’ve seen shirts do wonders before!

September 30th finally rolled around the corner. I began the day with a huge smile on my face. So what if I had to wake-up at 5:30am for school and endure hours upon hours of lectures? “Today is Jason Mraz Day,” I proclaimed to the heavens.

Since my learning of the early-bird concertgoers, I somehow persuaded ApuTheFish to skip our last lecture. After classes, we went our separate ways to home first, then reunite again at GM Place at 3:30pm. Yes, I said 3:30.

After having a quickie lunch at home, I made it to GM Place at around 3:20 at Gate 7 (the entrance where general admission/floor guests were supposed to line-up). When I first got to Gate 7, there was absolutely not a single soul present. Surprise, surprise. I walked a few feet towards the entrance and I observed that a girl was already here before me. To pass her time, she was reading a magazine on the ledge of a set of stairs. I was getting bored; luckily, minutes later, ApuTheFish arrived and came to my rescue.

The girl then realized we were Mraz-early-birds, too. She joined us, then a couple of other girls 15 minutes later came by too. The five of us were all alone – still, more than two-hours away until doors would open.

The four of us sat in a line along all six doors at Gate 7 and made a truce not to let any other suckers get past us. If we wanted to be in front of the standing pit in full view of Mraz, we would have to block the doors from others.

In the couple of hours still left of waiting, the five of us discussed everything Mraz-ness. We even joked that it would be cool if Jason came out of his trailer or rehearsal to perform for the five of us. After all, if we were dedicated to standing outside in the freezing cold, I think we deserve a song or two… or even a brief ‘hello’ would have been nice. He’s been known to do that once in a while.

At around 5:15, more people were starting to arrive and take over our makeshift human blockade. Finally, TayloredMyPants arrived too. Excellent… another body for our blockade. She then got up to strech her legs and so did I at around a quarter-to-six. Upon seeing us, everyone got up too. They probably thought it was time to enter GM Place. Um no, kids, we’re just stretching our legs. Who knew we had so much influence on random strangers?

It was already 6pm and we have not been allowed in yet. What’s wrong with the security? How will I ever stand front and center in front of Mraz now?

The security finally realized it was past 6pm and signalled to let us in. After getting my wristband, I ran down the stairs into the open arena. No time to stop by the merch table — I need to be front. As I gazed down the arena floor, there must have been hundred people standing by the stage already. I knew it! I knew that that security dude flubbed his job. We were late.

I ran as fast as I could and made my way to the back of the pack. I somehow squeezed past the last few standing rows and made it to the third row to the right of the mic (or on the left side from Mraz’s perspective). I couldn’t really see the stage very well since everyone in front of me was taller than I was (actually, generally, everyone is pretty much taller than I am). My only line of sight was a one inch crack between the heads of two people. Two people with very big heads that kept swaying back-and-forth. sigh.

The thing that bothers me about these large arenas is that anyone can get tickets at anytime. Usually, from my experience at the smaller venues, the real and true fans get the tickets first leaving barely any tickets left for the fan that just knows the artist for one of their hit songs. In Mraz’s case, that song that everyone knows is I’m Yours made popular in summer 2008. I, on the other hand, learned about I’m Yours about three years prior, even before it was even titled I’m Yours. And I’m pretty sure three-quarters of the audience at GM Place was there solely for I’m Yours. I’m thrilled that Mraz has gained hundreds of thousands of new fans, but if you’re going to someone’s show, at least know something about the artist or a few more of their other songs. The reason why I am rambling on about this topic is because someone didn’t even know who Bushwalla was, thought Mraz was from Hawai’i (and at that point, I gave them the WTF-face) – ok, just because he did a video in a tropical setting does not mean he’s from Hawai’i. ugh. And there were several people, especially in the front rows blocking my way that didn’t know a single word to any song other than to I’m Yours. In all of these scenarios, I throw my head down in shame – you know who you are. Anyway, I digress…

Around 7pm, the MC of the night Bushwalla (Jason Mraz’s bff) took the stage. Trying to get the crowd hyped up, Bushwalla interacted with us, told some stories, jumped into the crowd to chat with a girl in the audience, and performed some songs, including I’m a Ghetto Blaster. We also sang him Happy Birthday as it was his birthday – he turned 23… again (for the 11th time?).





Finally, Bushwalla introduced us to K’naan. Not your typical hip-hop or reggae artist, K’naan captures your attention with his beautiful songs and prose.

He got the audience involved with his story-telling and we even joined him in a capella. His awe-inspiring Somalia performance even got a lot of us in tears – ApuTheFish included.





After a few more hits including Bang Bang (made popular with Maroon 5) and Waving Flag, Jason Mraz finally graced the stage.

At this point, I could barely breathe. Not because I was being suffocated by very tall people or because the girl next to me was smoking weed (which, incidentally, because of her, I now learned I am allergic to the bud). No, but because this time, I was only 20-feet away from the man. If I really wanted to, I could have jumped over the barricade, hopped onto the stage, and hung onto his leg for dear life. I thought to myself: “Must have self-control…… breathe, dude, breathe.”

Mraz was barefoot, wore tattered blue jeans, a white long-sleeved henley-like top, and a maroon/brownish headband with tufts of his dreads peeking out. My friend said he was wearing the exact same thing as the day before. I don’t care. He could be sporting a garbage bag and still make it look sexy.





Toca Rivera with a golden gnome in hand was on our side of the stage. He sported a pair of shades as per usual.

Mraz’s intro song was a Traveler/Make It Mine medley. He performed it superbly end to end. I was worried that Mraz wasn’t going to be as entertaining as usual because he was under-the-weather for awhile. You can hear his hoarse voice the day before during the We Day performance. He proved us wrong though. For those not knowing of his condition before, they probably couldn’t tell anything was wrong. What a trooper.

He performed a total of 17 songs: 11 on the main stage, 3 on the small sound stage, and 3 back on the main stage for the encore. His song set-list is below.

• Traveler/Make It Mine medley
• Anything You Want
• Coyotes
• You & I Both
• The Remedy (I Won’t Worry) – Reggeady version
• Details in the Fabric
• Only Human
• Dynamo of Volition
• Beautiful Mess
• I’m Yours/Three Little Birds medley
• Fall Through the Glass (w/ Bushwalla)
• Never Too Late (The Only Life You Can Save)
• Lucky (w/ manager Alysse Fischer)
• Dear Anna (w/ Toca Rivera)
• Copchase
• All Night Long (cover)
• Butterfly

Mraz got everyone dancing and singing. The entire arena was full (not including the upper bowl/300-level, as those seats were not for sale), all 10,000+ of us were having a blast. A whole lot of us screamed for his attention and in my case, screaming out my love for him. (Every time he would raise his arms up, his shirt would lift up and you could see his happy-trail. *ahem* But that’s enough fangirl-isms from me for now.)





During Coyotes, Mraz beautifully sang an opera interlude. Here, he showcased his powerful range of voice.

I noticed another moment that got me choked up. I am not sure if anyone else noticed it either, but during The Remedy, Mraz showed a vulnerable side to him. Pay attention the last few seconds of the video to The Remedy below. It’s a very poignant moment in which I will never forget.





Of course, during I’m Yours, everyone was singing along and dancing like mad. After all, it IS his record-breaking little hippie song.

After performing Fall Through the Glass with Bushwalla, Mraz took a bow and left the stage. Looking at my watch I thought it was too early for the show to end.





Minutes later I hear roaring screams. Then Mraz’s voice came over the speakers, “What’s everyone screaming about? It’s like the Vancouver Canucks just scored a goal or something?”

I squealed, “Oh my god, he said ‘Vancouver Canucks’!” That just made me love him even more now.

Everyone then realized where his voice was coming from. Mraz was at the mini-soundstage at the opposite end of the arena. Nearly everyone on the floor ran towards the soundstage. ApuTheFish and I stood our ground by the main stage. Thankfully, those around us left for the soundstage leaving me to be finally up close by the barricade.

I wasn’t the only one to be concerned how he was able to make such a large arena feel intimate. Mraz thought of it too. He probably played three of the most personal songs on the soundstage, including a soulful duet with Toca, Dear Anna.

Upon Mraz’s return to the main stage for his encore performance, his three-piece brass band (The Grooveline Horns) performed Copchase. These guys are extraordinary.





His last performance of the night was the ever-so-sexy-I-wanna-tear-off-your-pants song, Butterfly. There was a single moment during the song when he looked at me and winked. And in that small finite moment (which seemed like an eternity to me), it was already decided that he was going to be my future babies’ daddy. For real.





Mraz took a final bow on stage with the rest of his band mates. It was official, the night has finally come to an end.

As the crowds dispersed, some of us yelled at the crew dismantling the set-up. I fought with a grown man and another girl for Jason’s song set-list. The man, I think, was a friend of one of the stage crews as they knew each other by name. So, of course, he got the set-list. Bum.

It was a bittersweet ending for me. Sweet in that I finally got to see him again after 11 months of waiting; bitter because I didn’t want it to end.

All-in-all, I thought the concert was pretty epic. My heart was pounding throughout the whole night. However, compared to the concert back in November, I thought that was a better one than Wednesday’s. I’m not sure why, but I remember there being more interaction with the audience in November. Perhaps it was because it was at a smaller venue, and Mraz had the luxury of wasting time and not sticking to a tight schedule. But that’s just me.

I am now counting the days until Jason returns to Vancouver. This time, I must be front and center. Countdown starts now… Oh, Jason – where are you???


BE LOVE!

Primer domingo pSF. Cinco días después de aterrizar en España sigo sin poder dormir bajo ninguna circunstancia. No acabo de entender muy bien cómo funciona esto del jet lag porque hasta ahora había tenido problemas por exceso, no por defecto de sueño. Bueno, ya descansaré cuando me muera, de momento tengo demasiadas cosas que hacer…

Por esas cosas del destino, hoy, además del cumpleaños de mi prima Marina y del santo de muchos Pacos, es el primer aniversario de mi boda con Gemmurrín. Buena fecha, por tanto, para recoger una buena canción que hable de cosas buenas y positivas. Y si se trata de fomentar el buenrollismo, qué mejor que I’m yours, de Jason Mraz, una de las mejores canciones que habrás escuchado últimamente en casi cualquier sitio.

nothin’s gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some

Jason Mraz tiene apenas un mes más que un servidor y es uno de los músicos e intérpretes más reconocidos del momento, no sólo por su capacidad de dotar a sus canciones de sentimiento y una marcada personalidad, sino por haber colaborado con muchos de los grandes intérpretes americanos de los últimos años.

No es la primera vez que Jason aterriza en la canción del domingo. El 12 de abril tuvimos Butterfly como canción del domingo, a sugerencia de Jorgín. Ahora le toca el turno a la que habrá sido la canción de la primavera, del verano o lo será del otoño o invierno, para mucho de vosotros.

Espero que paséis un buen día, que disfrutéis con esta versión en directo para AOL de Mraz y sus muchachos y que recordéis que soy vuestro, aunque, especialmente hoy, sea sobre todo y ante todo de mi Santa.

¡Feliz domingo!

Unul dintre paparazzi i-a zarit pe doi dintre protagonistii filmului Twilight, Ashley Greene si Kellan Lutz, miercuri noapte la concertul “I`m yours”  in Vancouver, acolo unde vampirii nostrii preferati filmeaza partea a treia a filmului si anume Eclipse.

Dupa ce au urmarit show-ul acestia au continuat petrecerea in spatele culiselor alaturi de alte vedete. Se pare ca vampirii atunci cand nu dorm noaptea, se distreaza pe la concerte .

Everyone, even my midlife friends, will be familiar with “I’m Yours” from Jason Mraz.  This track “Make It Mine” from last year’s album “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things” may not be so familiar unless you bought the album.  I just love the instrumentals on it.

Never fails to drive away monday blues with this.

My fav verse:

Open up your eyes and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you’re free

Para nada tenía planeado postear hoy, y mucho menos con lo que tengo pensado pero las cosas cambian y aqui  me encuentro, frente a mi portatil dispuesta a escribir algo.

Los viernes como hoy, no tengo clases en la universidad asi que, cuando esta mañana sonó la radio (típica radio-despertador) a las 9.15 cualquiera pensaría que me entraron ganas de arrancar de cuajo el enchufe y tirarla por la ventana, golpearla con un martillo o cualquier otra violenta aunque cómica escena típica de los dibujos animados. Aunque no a tales extremos, si que me hubiera puesto de mal humor y me habría preguntado “¿Para qué puse la alarma tan temprano?” si no fuese porque la canción que me despertó tenía algo que me hizo sentir muy bien. De repente me invadió una sensación de bienestar que me hizo salir de la cama y comenzar a ponerme en marcha para el día de hoy. Sólo llegaba a entender algunas palabras y en el estribillo “I’m yours”. Para variar, la canción estaba ya empezada cuando su melodía se extendió por mi habitación y para variar, habían dicho el título antes de ponerla así que creí que “la perdería”… Afortunadamente todo se arregló pues el estribillo era el título de la canción y al acudir a internet la encontré en seguida.

Se trata de una canción de Jason Mraz, un hombre totalmente desconocido para mí, hasta hoy y que sin saberlo ha tocado algo dentro de mí que ha hecho que hoy me sienta con ganas de “comerme el mundo”. ¡Gracias Jason!

Really nice song

Enjoy it!

Not a particularly new song, but catchy nevertheless.
