No offense Rob, but get over it, it was one Bright Eyes song. You can't hate him forever.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

The song Mraz hates is "The Remedy (I Don't Worry)," which he wrote when the label sent him on co-writing sessions with songwriters that took him from Nashville to London. It's a poppy, radio-friendly tune that's perfect for MTV and Star radio stations.

"It was the first co-write I had done. I took a really special song in and they kind of chalked up this chorus," he remembers. "But the label promised the song would get me on (MTV's) 'Cribs,' so, hey."

I like Jason Mraz.. My favorite songs are Who Needs Shelter and.. the last one.. Some of his songs are corny, though.. like the lyrics in the second song. And I hate the Waiting for My Rocket To Come song..
I bought the CD at Virgin Records when I was in Chicago.. but I didn't know about the sale and I don't think it was going on! I bought 2 CDs and didn't get a third one free. :neutral:

Yeah, I heard Al say good things about him and I saw the cd on sale for $0.79, so I couldn't pass it up. It was a damn good buy too.

That's why I don't listen to the radio. They never play anything good, and when they finally do, they kill it.. :mad:
