I can’t think of any header. No one will read either. So why bother?
Ah, a rhyming title. How cute. It does sound pathetic, but,
whatever.
Since nobody will ever listen to me on why I think Jason
Mraz is a great lyricist (except the people I met in rightkindofphrase.com of
course), I will talk to myself. I have read so many reviews in Amazon.com about
how clever Jason’s words could be and how fascinating his lyrics are. Though
so, I’m still not that lucky as I’ve never heard his live recordings before.
That could be called one brittle truth because, in fact, Jason is a great live
performer.
I found one particular review I’d like to quote here. This
was written by Rudy Palma on “Still Lovin’ It After All This Time!” in
Amazon.com. He said,
“As he closes the album with "Tonight, Not Again"
his voice begins low and ethereal, but as the song progresses he lets it soar
so high, so full of rapture, that it is almost bone-chilling; you don’t know
what hit you. Perhaps therein lies Mraz’s most remarkable talent: An uncanny
ability to move the listener while perfectly expressing the meaning of his
lyrics; there’s no question about what he meant or how he felt when he composed
this music. His lyrics, sometimes witty, sometimes deep, always intriguing, topped
off with great vocal skill to boot, definitely make Jason Mraz an artist to
watch.”
There he said it. I couldn’t say it any better. I definitely
agree with this guy about “Waiting For My Rocket to Come” album. Having read
many bad reviews on this album, all I can say is that Jason Mraz is a massively
underrated artist in the United States. What more do they want? I don’t know why Jason is not good
enough for them. I think they are very lucky to have such awesome musicians who can
actually write witty, meaningful lyrics.
Try listen to Indonesian songs, FOR GOD’S SAKE!
People here listen to dull lyrics and they actually ENJOY
it! I feel bad about it, really, but what can I do anyway? See, I think he’s
true, why on earth should I think about this on the first place? It’s not like
I can change anything right?
So starting from now, I don’t think about it. I probably won’t
think about anything at all. It’s
worthless to think.
Not gonna think.
Not gonna talk.
Stop caring.
End of story.
