Jason Mraz是个超赞的歌手，无论样貌，歌喉，音乐造诣，绝不逊色于其他歌手，特别是在他的音乐创作上，各种LIVE的即兴表演，和他的搭档Toca Rivera精彩的编曲等等，都表现出他在音乐上的天赋，而且他曲风主要以民谣为主，当然还会包含有现代的电子元素在内，歌词内容非常朴实，阐述情感的时候不会有太多的哭哭闹闹，阐述生活的时候不会有太多愤怒或者悲哀，让人简单易懂，虽然有些地方会卖弄一下文采，或者是一个八拍用十几个单词唱完用来表现他的饶舌能力，不过只要听过几次，都能让人朗朗上口哦。网络上就有不少人翻唱了他的歌曲。
我听了很长一段时间才总结出来的这5～6首歌曲，个人来说非常喜欢，看看网络上和我一样的人也不少，详细的介绍就不必了，好吧，其实是我懒了。。当然了，好听的并不止我这6首，但是能够让你对他有个很好的开始。
1. I’m yours
这首歌有很多个版本，据我所知的，正规的有4首，而他的各种LIVE会伴随着一些即兴版本出来，比较明显的应该就是《we sing EP》和《I’m yours》这两个专辑中的不同版本了，我选的这首就是《im yours》这张EP里的。
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
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 then 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 God-forsaken 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
D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
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 I laughed
I guess what I 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
Open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and man you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll 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 is, this is, this is our fate
I’m yours
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
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 then 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 God-forsaken 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
D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
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

So please don’t, please don’t, please don’t
There’s no need to complicate

2.Lucky 与 Colbie Caillat合唱的
Do you hear me,
I’m 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 hear your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhh
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 wait for you I promise you, I will
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m 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, fell the air
I put a flower in your hair
And though the breeze is through trees ???
Move so pretty you’re all I see
Let the world keep spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m 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
I’m 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 hear your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhh
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 wait for you I promise you, I will
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m 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

3.Geek in the pink
Yo, Brotha A to z,
Yo, wussup B,
Yo, What time is it
Ha-ha
It’s laundry day!
Do do do…
Well let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
If you like the way I’m thinkin’ baby wink at it
I may be skinny at times but I’m fat for the rhymes
Pass me the mic and I’m a grab at it
Well isn’t it delicious crazy way that I’m kissing
This baby listen to this don’t wanna miss it while it’s hitting
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get in
But don’t ever quit cause soon I’m gonna let you in but see
I don’t care what you might think about me
You’ll get by without me if you want
Well,I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn’t be a let down
But sugar don’t forgetin’ what you already know
That I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don’t judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
Like the geek in the pink (do do do…)
Well like the geek in the pink, yeah (geek in the pink)
Well my relationship fodder don’t mean to bother nobody
But Cupid’s automatic musta fired multiple shots at her
Because she fall in love too often that’s what the matter
At least when i’m talking about it keep a pattern of flattery and
She was starin’ through the doorframe,and
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Well she can get her toys outta the drawer then
Cause I ain’t comin’ home I don’t need that attention, see
I don’t care what she might think about me
She’ll get by without me if she wants
Well, I could be the one to take her home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn’t be a let down
But sugar don’t forgettin’ what you already know
That I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don’t judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
Hey baby look at me go
From zero to hero
You better take it from a geek like me
Well I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
Who wouldn’t care if you com….plete them or not
So what I’ve got a short attention span
A coke in my hand
Because I’d rather have the afternoon, relax and understand
My hip hop and flip-flops well it don’t stop with the light rock
A shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha so I’m
Developing a language and I’m callin’ it my own
So take a peek into the speaker and you’ll see what I mean
That on the other side the grass is greener
I don’t care what you might think about me
You’ll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn’t be a let down
But sugar don’t forgetin’ what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
We could be the talk across the town
Don’t judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
Like the geek in the pink (do do do…)
I’m the geek in the pink ya’ll
Geek is the color for fall
I’m the geek in the pink
So i’m the geek ya’ll
In the pink ya’ll
Geek is the color for fall
I’m the geek in the pink

4.Love for a Child
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus and His friends involved
There’s a party getting started in the yard
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car, parked in the drive
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?
And by the pool that night, apparently
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly
You hit your head and then forgot your name
Then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
And now your altitude and memory’s a shame
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence, I haven’t had enough
It’s probably because when you’re young
It’s okay to be easily ignored
I’d like to believe it was all about love for a child
When the house was left in shambles
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around?
Well, I’m far too old to care about that now
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence, I haven’t had enough
It’s probably because when you’re young
It’s okay to be easily ignored
I’d like to believe it was all about love for a child
It’s kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
I’ve been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
And they never checked to see my grades
What a fool I’d be to start complaining now
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence, I haven’t had enough
It’s probably because when you’re young
It’s okay to be easily ignored
I’d love to believe it was all about love for a child
It was all about love
Looks like Jesus and His friends involved
There’s a party getting started in the yard
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car, parked in the drive
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?
And by the pool that night, apparently

try to picture a girl through a looking glass
And see her as a carbon atom, see her eyes and stare back at them
See the girl as her own new world
Though her home is on the surface she is still a universe
Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
I try to picture the man to always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree, see him as matter
Matter of fact he’s not a beast
No, not the devil either, always a good deed doer
Well, it’s laughter that we’re makin’ after all
The call of the wild is still in order nationwide
In the order of the primates all our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is an assembly selling gratitude and practicing their lovin’ of you
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
And oh, let’s take it easy and celebrate the malleable reality
Because nothing is ever as it seems, this life is but a dream
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
And see her as a carbon atom, see her eyes and stare back at them
See the girl as her own new world
Though her home is on the surface she is still a universe
Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
I try to picture the man to always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree, see him as matter
Matter of fact he’s not a beast
No, not the devil either, always a good deed doer
Well, it’s laughter that we’re makin’ after all
The call of the wild is still in order nationwide
In the order of the primates all our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is an assembly selling gratitude and practicing their lovin’ of you
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
And oh, let’s take it easy and celebrate the malleable reality
Because nothing is ever as it seems, this life is but a dream
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
hey yo
oh baby we can fight like dogs we can fight like cats
a dirty laundry needs a laundry man
maybe the king and the queen should lay off the caffeine
baby breathe before you react
sometimes we do forget to behave and we regret what we say
cause we have two weapons if we don’t choose’em carefully
ladies and gentlemen this is instrumental
if life’s to be a better flossy
i know i gave you everything you like
because you still give me butterflies
if we just try try try
just to be ni-ni-nice
then the world would be a better place for you and I
if we just live our lives
putting our differences aside
oh that would be so beautiful to me
are we just dangling in the middle of a galaxy
well i’m still down gravity
to be stuck with you like flowers on the due drops
now let it in my direction
my direction is up when everybody’s down
cause i don’t mind being anybody’s clown
i love a little lift cause i’m an optimistic
in an ultra realistic way
cause basically this place is needing instruments of harmony
spreading my philosophy of love and inspiration
oh these words i speak i committ to like a crime
with a rythme i deliver i’m giving them a picture of the reasons why
we should just try try try
just to be ni-ni-nice
so the world could be a better place for you and i
if we just live our lives
putting our differences aside
oh that would be so beautiful to me
oh baby we can fight like dogs we can fight like cats
a dirty laundry needs a laundry man
maybe the king and the queen should lay off the caffeine
baby breathe before you react
sometimes we do forget to behave and we regret what we say

if we just live our lives
putting our differences aside
oh that would be so beautiful to me
well it wouldn’t cost a penny but could save so many lonely lives
from interior eyes
if we just try try try
to open up a kind of understanding open up your heart
i’m just planning seats
cause i believe
we could just try try try
just to be ni-ni-nice
so the world would be a better place for you and i
if we just live our lives
putting our differences aside
oh that would be so beautiful to me
if we could tryyyyyy
just to be niiiiiiice
that could be so beautiful to me
