The work of JM.
And i'm not talking about John Mayer. I've recently been exposed to the work of Jason Mraz. It's a shame I can't do any more exploring for his music 'til I get home and plug my laptop in again {see previous blog}. Sounds great; very clever writer -- reminds me much of John Mayer, in his ability to use analogy (as in Too Much Food) and catchy, up-beat melody (as in Sleep All Day), as well as his mix of optimism (The Remedy), pessimism (10,000 Motherfuckers), love (Sleeping to Dream), heartache (On Love, In Sadness), and apology (Absolutely Zero). I've been told this guy is awesome, and I agree: This is one talented musician and lyricist. But for all you main-stream kiddies out there -- the lyrics wil probably go right over your head. I can appreciate, but unfortunately: I haven't quite found myself a J.Mraz theme song. Any suggestions? Someone go find me one. I'll do some more exploring later.
