im a huge fan of music and whenever I find a beautiful song I share it with friends but this has always been the only song I've ever loved that I've never shared with anyone. its so precious and close to my heart that the very thought of someone not liking it would break me. so I just live life, greedily listening to something so perfect wishing that everyone could just stumble upon it and praying to god that they feel the same way about it
What a devastatingly beautiful song! I had a beautiful mess for 25 years before she called it quits. Unfortunately, my beautiful mess didn't end with "But it's nice today." So, I'll never be able to say "Oh the wait was so worth it." But that's life for many: We live, we love, we lose love, we get stained, but somehow we keep going on. For now, I'm happy for those of you who can say "Oh the wait was so worth it." :)
I'm at the very point you've mentioned. I am feeling ao disappointed. I was listening this song while i was saying goodbye to him. And now he is both physically and emotionaly away from me. I feel so lonely. I hope I can say "here we are" some day. Missing him hurts while he is giving up so easily
As a girl with ADHD and Anxiety Disorder, I think everyone should fall for someone who can love you for all that you are even when you're messy and contradictory. Even if you don't have any mental disorders, life is messy and people are messy. Love isn't about two perfect people, it's about two imperfect people humbling themselves and working together to make a relationship work in this chaotic life.
As an expectorant and having bipolar disorder which deals with depression.. I think the problem that we have is we look outside ourselves for love and acceptance .. Learn To Love Yourself be kind to yourself be patient with yourself and allow yourself to make mistakes. The imperfect person always becomes perfected when they carry these traits. I hope you learn to love yourself and accept you as the beautiful girl with ADHD. me and you aren't different we're just unique. I wish you wellness and happiness and most of all understanding. Because true love isn't hard to understand it's only hard to accept. Huggs
Trying to define this song.. I believe it tells the story of a guy who has this connection with this girl who is insecure and somewhat crazy.. a mess, maybe because of the things that life has dealt her.. but in spite of it all, their battles, disagreements and ups and downs, he is patient, caring, and strong enough to see beyond all of this and into her heart and soul. They finally reach a point in the relationship where they accept the fact that they were meant to be and even though it's a mess.. this relationship is a beautiful thing.
Nope....heS talking about a girl he grew up with, she was aggressive and attractive, wild but a lady and the fact he loves her for that, they have played together spent there childhood with each other where he followed her at every point even though it doesn't seems fair, they played in dirt got themselves dirty and wounded several times but when they grow up they married made a family and it all was magical now they're old and thus he says HERE WE ARE
"Tides they turn, and hearts disfigure. But that's no concern, when we're wounded together." One of the most beautiful lines of lyrics i've ever heard in a love song. This is no doubt one of my favorite songs ever. It's q work of pure artistry, not mainstream, sold out, cliche love song bs.
I'll never get tired listening to this special song. There's some songs that really hits you, but this song feels like there's some kind of magic attached to it. Its just sad that there's only few of people who can really appreciate this kind of song.
This song, and Jason Mraz in general, is something I grew up with. It's part of my childhood, so I love to go back to it. The only other person I know who listens to this song is my dad, so I wish this was still as popular as it was once. It makes me happy to listen to the things from my childhood :)
This song remember me about my crush, although i was got rejected when i confessed my feeling, i never stop trying to make her happy!, i change my mindset from "i want to be your bf" to "i'm here i'm your caregiver", she has an anxiety disorder and her parents are divorced long time ago.. she always tell me everything about his life, sometimes she also told me that life is exhausting, meaningless. But i trying to give everything to her.. i want to give her love, support, heal her wound and everything as i can, she's the most beautiful god's creature i've ever seen! I love her so much!., don't be worry.. promise me, i always be on your side, you're stronger than anything, you're special at any circumstances. I love you anyway.❤️
I emailed this to someone I loved when I was in high school, I stumbled on the email today and I clicked on the link and heard this song for the first time again in years. It makes me miss who I used to be before my heart shattered. I loved so deeply, with no fear. But so many heartbreaks later and I can't even function properly in a relationship, I feel broken. I want to get back to the version of me that loved so confidently. I miss who I used to be.
The movie Black or white brought me here and made this song one of my favorites :-) gonna have this song in my list when we renew our vows. Just awesome!!
2020, and here I am. Listening to this song for the first time. I’ll give the credits to my homie for introducing this song. If you’ll read this, I love you!
Music means so much more to me- now that I find myself needing someone to lean on. loneliness really opens yours eyes to stuff you never noticed before, and your heart to feelings you hardly felt before. This song is very nice. When i'm lonely, i'll listen to this.
Angela White Me too! Just now. :D And it reminds me of music, and/or songwriting a musician/singer-songer I admire, writes. If you care, look her up: Raelee Nikole. She's awesome; sweet and genuine too. P.S. I liked the movie. haha.
messi jr 10 I used 2 say the same thing. Then I realized that love is actually a beautiful mess. It's how some people go about it that makes it so messed up. Just cos the experience didn't go well 4 u, doesn't mean it is the same experience 4 everyone else.
my Narc husband just left me randomly 2 days ago and made me realize that the guy I was married to never even existed. he killed me soul, and hearing this song just made me be able to breathe a little bit slower and smile just a little. I can put into words how grateful I am that I stubbled across this song.
Be strong lady... I went thru the same thing & it was crushing at first but trust me you'll get thru it and you'll be stronger for it! Best of luck to you
I literally haven't heard this song in years and i started singing it today out of no where. And i just came on here to listen to it and it brought me to tears! #chills Mr. A-Z!
Almost two years ago my boyfriend introduced this song to me. Every once in a while we dance to this and it makes me tear up everytime. The line, “Oh the wait was so worth it.” left a huge impression on me since this homie waited for me for 10 years despite my countless rejections. Good thing life brought him back to me just when I realized he really is THE ONE all this time. Indeed, we’re a beautiful mess. :’) Someday I hope to play this song for our wedding dance.
I actually cry each time I listen to this song. It's like I can feel exactly how he felt for the woman he sang about. Now I can feel the same kind of words that she said to him can also turns into blade to my heart...
I'm in school abroad right now, and most people think of couples but this reminds me of my family... I cry every time because this song is such a perfect way to describe what it's like loving but being hurt in that love... just amazing. thank you so much to Jason for this
I Love this song...To me it's a hanging on song. It's about focusing on your Lovers strengths and what you love about them rather than focusing on the few negative moments. My Love is Perfectly imperfect, and just for me... thanks Jason.
My husband of 25 years passed away suddenly on March 3rd of 2017 (3 days after our 25th anniversary). It has become harder to cry more than a year later and sometimes I just wish I could cry - to me it's so cathartic. I listened to this song again while I was on vacation and was able to cry my eyes out! It just makes me feel better when I've had a good cry!
I love this song! So soothing with its gentle melody. I'm so glad I watched the credits at the end of Black or White. Otherwise I would never have heard it. I love the message too!!
Such a wonderful song. So real. Sung with such feeling and connection. It made me cry. I listened to it several times and read through a lot of your lovely comments below. It's wonderful to see people connecting and sharing their stories and their hearts. Life is often a beautiful mess indeed. WOW !! I just stumbled upon this song and this artist. So lovely to hear a song that is so deeply meaningful.
its so me.. its all about me.. the bpd wife.. and ooh its about the unconditional love of my hubby.. how lucky and blessed i am having him.. and i love him so much
I was 4 or 5 when I got into this song bc my parents fought a lot and it was hard talking to someone that I was called the "shy kid or the stupid dumb kid"! I was lost and had nowhere to go I was broken! I still cry about it today! I was a little boy when my parents divorced and I was 4 to be exact I did not know what to think! as I said it was really hard to talk to someone bc I was broken inside! I discovered this song and to this day music is my therapy! I'm good now me and my dad are tight I have so much sad/bad stories but I don't want to cry right now sorry this was so long but just know your an amazing person no matter how you feel or people say about you! I know it sounds weird but I love every single one of you and good nite or good day etc! goodbye everyone!
This post is 2 years old, however i read it and cried! I cried because Jason and his music has gotten me through the the worst and BEST times of my life... I'm 35, i met Jason when i was 19. Im so happy that his music is still impacting people...LITERALLY saved me!! 💓my Jason
I just ignored this when I first heard it a few years ago and now that it popped up, I can't stop listening to it. And I think now that I have grown and been through a lot the past years, the lyrics hit differently now. It's like comforting me despite of how messy I became. It gives me hope that even most of the people in my life don't understand me, there will come a time when you'll going to meet someone that can handle you well and consider you beautiful. 😊💓
There are several versions of this song (including the amazing live performance at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony). But out of all of them (live and studio), this is my favourite. The beautiful strings arrangement is what elevates it above the others. Still the best song he's written.
This song is hard to listen too, my friend played it too me as he drove me home. It was the first night I had ever really opened up to him, I shared the shit hand I was dealt. He let me cry on his shoulder and comforted me. As I listened to the song, I couldn't help but cry; the song has always sounded like a man telling a woman no matter what she's been through he will help her through it, and they would be together no matter what. That she should see herself as he sees her.
Once I listened this music when I hug someone I really loved. And we were there...:) It was beautiful.Though those days are passed, but the song is still remain. With its beauty. Hmm.. Hmm..:) This song stimulates me to be more sentimental really!
I close my eyes and imagine dancing slow with my Soul Mate on our wedding ... by the beach, under the Rice light. As the Sun Sets and the Sky turns from Golden Yellow to Pink, Purple and then Navy Blue. With Few people who really matter to Us sharing this beautiful n blissful moment. THIS will be the Song ❤
I am man enough to admit that this song makes me cry every time I listen to it. This song is one of the best songs I've ever heard. This will be my wedding song.
I listened to this song in 2013 when I was in the early stages of my relationship with my partner and it was definitely more of a mess than beautiful... but seven years and a marriage later I can honestly say it was all worth it... it's very nice today :)
Baylie Azevedo i found Mine...my beloved husband,who accepted all of me,my kids,my craziness, everything,and loving me unconditionally...I thank God I found him...
This song says “let’s see how we can put it all together “ . I dedicate it to my daughter & son-in-law who just got back together after a long separation ( from other people’s input )
he always sings about something presonly and makes come out something amasing and blends in to the listener's body and soul and grabs everything in them and makes them happy and sing even if hes song is sad. everone should be listening to hes music because if the did listen to him other than some group of rappers because he is the only person i have heard tht hes music has alot of soul and never gets old to me. hes songs also teaches lessons in each one of his songs. JASON MRAZ is the best ever
I just know this song from a great man that i ever meet in my life. Glad to know you. U are one of the important thing that i meet in 2021. If you read this you know that i wuf u too. :)))
This song is one of the purest of song Ive ever heard..I think everyone of us can relate with this song..One of my favorite song ever aside from this side by nickel creek..A masterpiece indeed.
