I'm Yours

I`m not sure why some people are being so critical of Jason Mraz, but I fell in love with I`m Yours the first time I heard it (on Turkish TV, of all places). The rhythm is contagious and makes me feel great. I listen to it constantly. As a musician, I have great respect for his instrumental techniques, and the lyrics are witty--not cliche. I think the man`s got talent! I`d love to see him and his group in concert. I expect he`ll be known world-wide...well...now.

Like the tune, like the thought behind the song, but one thing about the lyric blows the song.

"It's our God-forsaken right to be loved. . ."

Forsake: -verb (used with object), -sook, -saken, -saking.
1. to quit or leave entirely; abandon; desert: She has forsaken her country for an island in the South Pacific.
2. to give up or renounce (a habit, way of life, etc.).

Now, unless Mraz is making a cynical comment on the state of love in today's world, he's 180 degrees off from his intention; probably meant something like "God-given," but that wouldn't have enough syllables.

When you're trying to write smart, witty lyrics, it helps to know what the words you're using mean.

I thought it was a very good song, for those who like to bash artist I suggest you try and write and sing music. The guys got a pretty good voice and its an orginal piece of music. It kinda fits in there with colbie calet and jack johnson, so I guess if you like that type of music than you'll like this guy.

A fantastic first single to Jason Mraz's latest album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. It's a nice balance between a nice beach summer song and the creative tunes we're heard from Mraz on his past two albums. I agree with one of the other reviewers that this song is a bit Jimmy Buffet-ish, but I think this is more indicative of Mraz tipping his hat to Buffet rather than being a copy-cat of Buffet's work. Mraz certainly has his own creative identity, and this new album as a whole reflects his evolution as a singer-songwriter.

Often imitated, but never duplicated! This is an infectious groove. It is also a challenge to learn the words... are you up for the challenge!? Jason is touring at the moment, so now is your chance to see him live, which is an even MORE amazing experience than listening to his music online, on your mp3 player or on CD.
