Love for a child is nice but hasn't really got a deep meaning which I tend to personally look for in albums.

Love Details in the Fabric..also a big James Morrison fan. Saw him live in Boston last April. Another brilliant one.
Loving the whole album. |

I think the entire album is awesome. Listening to it in my car on good speakers really makes a difference. Once again it's been said a million times, Jason
is always better live. We all know this. BUT this album is truly great. In the studio you get a chance to do things you can't do live and I think Jason
expiremented with that. And I think he was very successful. I do love the Ep versions of Coyotes and Love for a Child a little better than the studio versions.
I love in Coyotes when he says "tadaw, tomoraw". Ha ha, he's playing around with it and I love it. And the argued about twang in Live High and
Love for a Child, I actually kinda like it on Live High, but Child, not so much. Still I am super impressed with this album. I think it's going to bring
lot's of new Mraz fans into the world. It's a funky album and it kicks ass as far as I'm concerned! I would expect nothing less. Oh and my super
bundle is being shipped to my dad's house and won't have a chance to get it til this weekend! boo! Oh well. Enjoy the album everyone.

Byrnie34 wrote: Well yes, it is about Mraz, as the man said himself, people tend to relate more to songs about situations rather than Mraz songs. I wholeheartedly agree with this. I understand the song and get it for what it is, but it leaves no room for re-interpretation. Jason Mraz: Melissa and Regina.. I hope their making out to this message right now...

So last night I listened to "Waiting for my Rocket to Come," "Mr. A-Z," and then "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things." It was
actually fun to see how much his music has changed in just a few years. Its so funny how different each album sounds. It was great!

Not to be a nag...but
We can't buy We Steal Things separately? I stupidly bought the album at a show and don't want to buy the entire bonus edition just for those four songs. Also, the picture of Jason in the booklet is absolutely fabulous. |

I can't get the cd until tonight (I prefer to have a physical cd than instant itunes) I was googling lyrics and for coyotes I got "you better lock
your doors you know why, cuz we want you cuz when i kill a liar " now I know this place has wroooong lyrics. So I was wondering if it's actually what
I heard- "we want you, cause we like you a lot."

Or maybe it's my advanced age... I was raised (as was Jason) in an era when innocence was NOT expected or assumed
in childhood. Regret about that hits home with me (and I would have thought with lots of others), and I particularly like that he manages to convey that
regret without a tremendous amount of bitterness (which is how you'll usually hear it from me). Though the verses may be episodes from his own life, I
think they're well-drawn pictures that illustrate his particular brand of a sentiment we share.
