this song is just sick acoustic...i hope all the rest of his music is acoustic...jason mraz is one of the best solo acoustic players in the world...hands down
W.O.W hes got some freaking talent! no one in the world has a voice like him! i love how he uses improper grammar! my teacher would kill him if she heard his grammar! screw my teacher! i LOVE HIS VOICE AND HIS SONGS!!!
He has one condenser mic picking up his entire performance. To get a balanced mix between his voice, and guitar, there is most likely a strong compression ratio bringing up all of the quiet sounds, and squashing the louder sounds. That is why it sounds like he is breathing exceptionally heavy between phrases.
not only that...it's also compressed as heck too. If you don't know what compressions is, it's when you apply a certain effect to a track to make the softer parts louder and bring the louder parts lower, in essence creating a more balanced, but less dynamic track. That is causing alot of this effect as well, if you pay attention, the entire track you can hear the vocals pretty much at the same volume....compression!
This song reminds me a bit of Jack Johnson. I don't know why though. I just think it's in the verses when he sing fast! WOW. LOVE IT. (I prefer the acoustic version!)
actually im afraid to tell my friends and my classmates about my true kind of music...u know..they might think it sucks....anyway i really like mraz he's awesome he's the one who make believe that music is beautiful...
this is exactly why he is special .. he dun give no shits to those *professional-pls-control-your-breathing whatever* he sings as he likes and he does it PERFECTLY! but yea no offense.. i know u love him =X
the more i watch this video the more i love it with 1 exception....when did pink become a good color for men? I must have missed this trend...any1 know why pink is coming in style for men?
Jason Mraz is way more hangloose and focused on the use of words You won't see John Mayer rap or strum muted chords like this :) They're both great though
huahuah calm down my breathing is.. more sutil, lets say =3 But madic81 explained why his brething is so loud, so joke's on me anyway, didnt know it was the microphone still, you have Got to acknowledge it is pretty loud
And why is it impossible? Anyone can debate about any level of artistry, and so be it in musical form. What makes you so knowledgeable about this 'standard' of art, that you can question my abilities in comparing two 'artists' whom I believe in? Art, being such a transcendent and subjective subject that it is, has no absolute standard of which you're implying.
Lmao he kinda does, but I don't blame him, by the time the song's almost over, he must be dying for breath, lol, he barely has time to breath in songs like this
